The Seaforth News, 1954-11-11, Page 3"Everybody complains about
the weather, but nobody .., "
That's the start of areal "oldie,"
And until a few years 'ago
everybody complained about
rats but nobody did anything
really effective about the dirty
pests.
But with modern weapons
much can be done about the
rat menace, and this story of
how one Kansas county went
about it, taken from the Farm
Journal (Philadelphia) is well
worth reading - and thinking
about.
Do your neighbor's rats keep
reinfesting your farm?
You can stay good frielids,
and get rid of the rats, too, if
your community follows a rat
clean-up plan like the one used
In Harper County, Kan.
This appears to be the first
county in the U.S. to be in-
spected for rats, and declared
92.4% rat -free. Even' more re-
markable is the fact that the
six town dumps in the Bounty
were 100% rat -free. Here's how
it all got started:
County 4-H Club Leader Ken-
neth R. Jafneson submitted his
anti -rat campaign plan to the
County 4-H Council in October,
1953. The Council readily ap-
proved the project
ar ,t
Jameson's next move was to
call on town councils, and to
stress the need of getting rid of
eats in the town dumps. He also
asked Chamber of Commerce
leaders in each town to help rid
Stores and homes of rats. The
Harper Chamber of Commerce
bought warfarin bait for each
business place and plant.
Each 4-11 club elected a cam-
paign chairman, and Jameson
visited each of the fourteen
clubs during November and De-
cember. He divided the county
into areas, and assigned areas
to clubs.
Club members then divided
the area among themselves and
visited each farm and house-
hold to ask: (a) Are you using
warfarin or other rat bat? (b)
Have you noticed any rats? (c)
Mtnmm-Monique Van Vooren,
young French actress, brings a
touch of warmth from Nice,
France, to warm yo.0 on these
chilly, late fall days. She's at
Nice for filming of her latest
film, "Things Are Getting Hot."
Will you use warfarin bait to
clean up rats, and do you want
us to help put it out?
s a
The County Agent's ostlee
mixed the warfarin bait (1,800
' pounds of it), and sold it to
clubs at cost. The clubs sold it
for 10 cents a pound profit.
They even checked vacant
buildings and vacant farm-
steads, then staged a final drive,
with re -checks at any home
where people had been absent,
Finally came the pay-off -
ofcial inspection by a team of
experts from the USDA and the
State Health Department. Har.
per County passed with flying
colors!
County Agent Roger Hendor-
' shot wrote the name of every
farmer in each township on a
piece of paper, and placed the
names in a hat, one township
at a time. The inspection team
- George C. Halazon, Rodent
Control Extension specialist
from Kansas State College, and
Dick Lyness Kansas State Board
of Health - drew out 10% of
the names in each township, or
147 out of 1,470.
The team visited each of these
farms and put out a check -bait
of freshly rolled oats and can-
ned salmon, surrounded with
flour, to show rat tracks. Sixty-
one stations were placed in
towns. Each bait station was in-
spected about 36 hours later.

Harper County folks cele-
brated their liberation from rats
with a picnic, The Anthony,

oustanding 441 Club, and Jame-

Prisoner Predicts
Judge's Death
Is it sheer coincidence or le
it something beyond our under-
standing when someone invokes
supernatural justice on another
and it comes true? There are
more things in heaven and
earth than dreamed Of, Shakes -
pear wrote, and its truth is
proved every day.
,An ashen -faced prisoner heard
the clerk of the court at the
Cape Town Criminal Sessions
ask him whether he had any-
thing to say before sentence., of
death was passed.
"My Lord, I know that I am
innocent, you know that I am in-
nocent, and God knows that I
ani innocent," the prisoner de-
clared fervently. "You have
been vindictive to me through-
out I know that I will die
but you will die before Ido!"
The man's execution was set
for three weeks ahead, on a
Monday morning. On the Fri-
day morning the prisoner was
told that there would be no re-
prieve.
At two minutes past five the
same afternoon the judge left
his chambers and boarded a
suburban express train to his
home, seven miles away. Three
minutes later the train piled up
two miles out of Cape Town in
one of the country's worst train
disaster for years --- and among
those killed was the judge.
Was it coincidence -- or some-
thing more -- that some months
later a man was arrested on a
charge of murder, convicted,
and after being sentenced to
death, confessed to the murder
for which the other man had
already been hanged?
"You have been found not
guilty of murdering my daugh-
ter," James Robert McWilliams
told Richard Nash, a middle-
aged man, in Michigan. "I know
you murdered her, you know it,
and God knows it. God does
not sleep. Justice will surely
overtake you before many days
pass."
Then the haggard old man
walked away. Staring after
him, with an oath on his lips,
Nash stepped from the pave-
ment outside the county court-
house -- and was struck by a
passing taxi and killed,
Mrs, Geraldine Wnite, of Can-
berra, Australia, a widow aged
fifty-six years, had saved every
• penny she could for ten years
to visit her daughter in England.
A week before she was due to
buy her steamship ticket, she
withdrew the money from the
bank, foolishly, and the same
night every penny was stolen
from her room.
Embittered by her loss, the
woman was told by police that
they did not have a clue to work
on and that sheer luck would
have to be depended on to solve
the mystery of the theft. "I
wish no one ill luck,' the elderly
woman said through her tears,
"but he who steals from the or-
phan and the widow is condem-
nable. He will be punished as
surely (16 the stili will rise on
the morrow."
The following afternoon police
were I.alled to en accident a
mile out of the city where tt
youth had collided with a car
while aiding on a motor -cycle.
"T know that I am dying," the
youth whispered to a police ser-
geant, "but I can't die like this
--- I stole Mrs. White's money
and bought this bike, God for-
give Ale."

When Widow's
Cat Died
'tiara Neiderhoefer, an attrac.
tive widow of Stuttgart-Cann-
stadt was giving a dinner -party
for several friends.
All was going well until she
went to the kitchen to get her
master -piece - two dishes gar-
nished with salmon salad.
Great was her dismay when
she discovered that her cat,
Pummel, had had an expensive
and entirely ;atisfactery meal
off one of the dishes. There she
sat, ,purring happily and wash-
ing herself while Frau Nieder-
hoefer stared at 'the remaining
dish. The other was empty and
licked clean. Placing the cul-
prit outside, Frau Niederhoefer
hurriedly prepared another fish
salad without mentioning any-
thing to her guests
The evening turned out a
huge success. When the last of
her guests had gone, she opened
the back door to let in Pummel,
but Pummel did not come. She
lay dead on the step.
Fish poisoning! What had
happened to the guests? Frau
Niederhoefer rushed to the tele-
phone to inform here guests
and recommend that they
should meet her immediately at
the casualty ward of the near-
est hospital for them all to be
examined, This they did.
When she returned home
there was a knock at the back
door.
It was the p0 r t e r, Herr
Schultze, who said apologetia-
ally: "I only wanted to explain
about the cat. Knowing you
had a party, I didn't want to
disturb you. So I put her on
the hack porch. She was run
over by a cal."
Cali Whistling "The
I,evil's Music"
Doctors in granddad's youth
used to recommend whistling to
the weak -chested saying it. was
a fine developer of lung -power
and a safeguard against con-
sumption.
Whistling has always been a
pretty good test of the state of
one's nerves. A run-down, nervy
person can rarely produce a
sustained whistle, a doctor told
mc, Ile added that years ago it
was customary when alone in
the dark and deserted places.
Only very nervous women do
this nowadays.
In some coalmines whistling
is stn lctly avoided by the min-
ers, They believe it foretells
dieester, Whiotling superstitions
are common in many. countries.
-The Arabs, for instance, say that
after whistling it takes a tnan
forty days to cleanse his mouth.
They call whistling "the devil's
music,"
The w'orld's champion whist-
lers are still the names of Go-
mm, SD island ori the north
coast of Africa. Their whistling
is used for signalling and can
be heard .four tniles off. No
fingers are used and only two Or
three notes are employed,
One day a sceptical Belton
expressed doubts about the
power of the natives' whistling
and volunteered to let one
whistle in his ear. He was deaf
far fifteen days afterwards,
NOW CROOKS
HIDE THEIR LOUT
The ingenuity of the gentry
who live outside the law is a
never'ending source of interest,
and nowhere is this ingenuity
seen more clearly than in their
choice of hiding places.
Brilliant Chang lived in Lime•
house and was said t0 have made
a fortune from the sale of drugs
in the 1920s before he was sen-
tenced and deported to China.
He got his supplies from the
docks, and the drugs were car-
ried ashore in bundles of ship's
washing by washer -women who
never knew what was hidden
in their bundles, Other drug
purveyors have used the axle•
boxes of railway trucks in which
to hide their wares, or have
shaped a packet of drugs, trod
it fiat, and walked it past the
police concealed inside a shoe.
The administration of a knock-
out drop to a victim's drink is
made easy by a capsule hidden
under a finger ring, or dangling
in full view among the lucky
charms attached c a lady's
bracelet.
Native races are especially
adept at hiding places. The
earth floor of a Kaffir's but is
trodden so hard that it is im-
possible to tell whether anything
has been buried there unless
water is poured on the floor,
when it will soak in more readI-
ly in a patch recently dug.
Australian bushmen have
evolved a very cunning way of
hiding from their enemies, They
dive into a pool and come slow-
ly to the surface with their nos-
es under a water lily so that
they can breathe while com-
pletely hidden.
Thieves have been known to
hide loot in a stove and set fire
to the evidence,on the approach
of the police; they have packed
swag into a hearse and solemn-
ly carted it away while the po-
lice took off their hats to it;
and one enterprising individual,
who feared that the police were
coming to search his house which
was stacked with loot, hurriedly
telephoned a furniture deposit-
ory and had the whole lot plac-
ed in storage.
Civilian Ta gers ?
In spite of raised eyebrows at
Police Headquarters when the
plan was first proposed, some
sixty-four women and four men
wearing police caps, white belts
and yellow arm bands are now
protecting children in the Bronx
from traffic as they cross the
streets to school -- and more
will be recruited. These civilian
guards render another timely
service which calls for special
praise these days. They relieve
regular members of the uni-
formed force to go about the
more arduous police work for
which they were specially train-
ed and are much more highly
paid.
Is it not time now for the
Police Department to consider
the recruitment of some such
squads of authorized civilians
to tag cars for overtime park-
ing? For burly, armed and skill-
ed men in uniform to be doing
an essentially clerical job Is
incongruous, to say the least.
Although the exact figures are
not available, a fair percentage
of the 2,000 members of the traf-
fic division now spend their time
playing this little game of tag,
all of whom could be better em-
ployed protecting us from crime.
Civilian taggers would, of course
have to be clothed with legal
authority to serve summonses
and their salaries would have
to be met by increased appro-
priations - or, better yet,
through the proceeds of a city
tax on overnight parking, In any
case, this would seem to be a
relatively easy and inexpen-
sive way to put a lot more
much-needed policemen on the
beat. - New York Times.

A Study In Values
Proverbs 11:2728; 13:7; 15:13-
17; 20:11-12; 2211-4
Memory Selection: A good
name is rather to be chosen
than great riches, and loving
favour rather than silver and
gold, Proverbs 22:1,
"He that sceketh mischief, it
shall come unto him." This is
illustrated in the lives of many
teenagers today. The average
age of criminals has been drop-
ping of late years until the
teen-agers are proving to be the
major problem. One cannot get
by. Mischief comes upon him
and that early.
Proverbs have much to say
about riches. "Better is little
with the fear of the LORD than
great treasure and trouble More -
with." Riches ought„ not to he
an end in themselves but a
means to an end. A friend who
is a successful business says.
"I'm going to make all the
money I can without jeopardiz-
ing my Christian experience so
that I can give more and more
to send the gospel to those who
have never heard."
God wants us to be cheerful,
"He that is of a merry heart
hath a continual feast." The
way to happiness is to turn
from sin to Jesus Christ as our
Lord and Saviour. We thus find
release from all guilt, As we go
on in . the way of the Lord he
will give us his Holy Spirit
purifying our hear t s and
strengthening us to be witnesses
for him. As we learn more of
the riches of his grace our hap-
piness will deepen. The way of
faith is the way of satisfaction.
This makes for happy homes.
"Better is a dinner of herbs
where love is, than a stalled ox
and hatred therewith."
"By humility and the fear of
the Lord are riches, and honour
and life."
Let us seek first the kingdom
of God and his righteousness,
When we will have all that Is
needed,
That "Cup of Yea"
Really Helps
During the war many a Cana-
dian stationed in Britain wrote
home and said that everything
stops for a cup of tea. Now
psychologists h1 the United
States have found that there is
something to be said for it.
Two groups of housewives
were put through a strenuous
programme of mental and medi-
cal tests. One group was allowed
to have a cup of tea during a
midway pause, the other group
was not. The test results of th
tea drinkers in the second half
of the programme were better
than those of the others.
It was concluded that a cup
of tea worked in one of two
ways - pepping up the tired or
relaxing those who were too
keyed up.
Maybe Britain, t h e world's
biggest tea -drinking nation, has
got something that is more than
a pleasant habit after all.

coming to search his house which
was stacked with loot, hurriedly
telephoned a furniture deposit-
ory and had the whole lot plac-
ed in storage.
Civilian Ta gers ?
In spite of raised eyebrows at
Police Headquarters when the
plan was first proposed, some
sixty-four women and four men
wearing police caps, white belts
and yellow arm bands are now
protecting children in the Bronx
from traffic as they cross the
streets to school -- and more
will be recruited. These civilian
guards render another timely
service which calls for special
praise these days. They relieve
regular members of the uni-
formed force to go about the
more arduous police work for
which they were specially train-
ed and are much more highly
paid.
Is it not time now for the
Police Department to consider
the recruitment of some such
squads of authorized civilians
to tag cars for overtime park-
ing? For burly, armed and skill-
ed men in uniform to be doing
an essentially clerical job Is
incongruous, to say the least.
Although the exact figures are
not available, a fair percentage
of the 2,000 members of the traf-
fic division now spend their time
playing this little game of tag,
all of whom could be better em-
ployed protecting us from crime.
Civilian taggers would, of course
have to be clothed with legal
authority to serve summonses
and their salaries would have
to be met by increased appro-
priations - or, better yet,
through the proceeds of a city
tax on overnight parking, In any
case, this would seem to be a
relatively easy and inexpen-
sive way to put a lot more
much-needed policemen on the
beat. - New York Times.

A Study In Values
Proverbs 11:2728; 13:7; 15:13-
17; 20:11-12; 2211-4
Memory Selection: A good
name is rather to be chosen
than great riches, and loving
favour rather than silver and
gold, Proverbs 22:1,
"He that sceketh mischief, it
shall come unto him." This is
illustrated in the lives of many
teenagers today. The average
age of criminals has been drop-
ping of late years until the
teen-agers are proving to be the
major problem. One cannot get
by. Mischief comes upon him
and that early.
Proverbs have much to say
about riches. "Better is little
with the fear of the LORD than
great treasure and trouble More -
with." Riches ought„ not to he
an end in themselves but a
means to an end. A friend who
is a successful business says.
"I'm going to make all the
money I can without jeopardiz-
ing my Christian experience so
that I can give more and more
to send the gospel to those who
have never heard."
God wants us to be cheerful,
"He that is of a merry heart
hath a continual feast." The
way to happiness is to turn
from sin to Jesus Christ as our
Lord and Saviour. We thus find
release from all guilt, As we go
on in . the way of the Lord he
will give us his Holy Spirit
purifying our hear t s and
strengthening us to be witnesses
for him. As we learn more of
the riches of his grace our hap-
piness will deepen. The way of
faith is the way of satisfaction.
This makes for happy homes.
"Better is a dinner of herbs
where love is, than a stalled ox
and hatred therewith."
"By humility and the fear of
the Lord are riches, and honour
and life."
Let us seek first the kingdom
of God and his righteousness,
When we will have all that Is
needed,
That "Cup of Yea"
Really Helps
During the war many a Cana-
dian stationed in Britain wrote
home and said that everything
stops for a cup of tea. Now
psychologists h1 the United
States have found that there is
something to be said for it.
Two groups of housewives
were put through a strenuous
programme of mental and medi-
cal tests. One group was allowed
to have a cup of tea during a
midway pause, the other group
was not. The test results of th
tea drinkers in the second half
of the programme were better
than those of the others.
It was concluded that a cup
of tea worked in one of two
ways - pepping up the tired or
relaxing those who were too
keyed up.
Maybe Britain, t h e world's
biggest tea -drinking nation, has
got something that is more than
a pleasant habit after all.
