Zurich Herald, 1951-10-25, Page 2These Folks Lived
On A Party Line
Had our telephone been useful
in no other way, it would have been
worth the money as the means of
developing our friendship with
"Miss Nina," a lady who lives on
the line that connects my phone
in town and the one in the country.
Her number is 940-J-2, ours 940-
J-11, and Miss Nina, whore we
have come to love dearly, is one
of those people who, when the
phone rings, can never be wholly
certain about the difference be-
tween a "long" and a "short." That
being the case, she, to use her own
words, "just butts in to snake sure,"
She is the wife of Bill Reed, who,
with his brother Clyde and their
father Houser, slake up one of the
most effective trios of farmers in
Texas. Their crops are always as
beautiful and fruitful as weather
and insects will permit, It was Ho-
mer, acting in the highest tradition
of country planners, who told me
when we first moved across the
road from hint: "We're glad you're
out here. Whenever you need any-
thing on my place, mules, plows,
a tractor or two, just come get
them."
His daughter-in-law, Miss Nina,
is small in stature, but in spirit
the size of a horse. And nothing
is more polite, if politeness con-
sists of sacrificing one's own plea-
sure for the convenience of others,
than Miss Nina when. she says:
"Excuse ane for buttin' in, I'll hang
up."
For hanging up is the last thing
she wants to do—and what makes
it fun is that neither do we want
het to.
In the first place, Miss Nina has
got something to tell. She's on the
spot, can see from her hilltop resi-
dence whether the creeks or the
cows happen to be out, whether the
roads are passable, whether or not
it's advisable to put chains on the
car before leaving' town.
That these other telephone sub-
scribers are listening in, however,
does not come under the head of
eavesdropping. They are paying for
their phone, a part of which, as
everyone knows, is the receiver.
And I do not know anybody- on
the line who does not listen to
every call that goes over it unless,
of course, he or she happens to be
too far from the house to slake
the run.
You see, a party line is so much
more local than even our local
paper, which of course that party
line constantly, from a news -dis-
seminating standpoint, scoops. News
acquired over the p a r -t y line
is intimate and is acquired with
just that tinge of stealth which
would add excitement to almost any
news. Besides, who's to say when
this or that neighbor in a pet or
Handy Man -- Caught in a rare shot made during a Gaelic -style
football game played between teams representing the U. 5. and
Ireland at the Polo Grounds in New York, T. Gallagher, right, of
the American team, appears to put three hands and arms into
play as he swings at the ball in a melee with two County Meath
players. Actually, the centermost arm belongs to a player hidden
by Gallagher whose team lost to the lads from Erin, 13-10. '
in a moment of unguarded enthu-
siasm may not spill some highly
significant beans? That's something
that may happen any time you
softly lift the receiver off the hook
and put it to your ear—From
"The Tale of a Foolish Farmer,"
by George Sessions Perry.
Tooth
ecay
Evidence that fluoridated water
prevents tooth decay when the diet
contains magnesium has been col-
lected by Drs. Albert E. Sobel
and Harry Goldenberg of Brook-
lyn, "We have found that in the
absence of magnesium, fluoride en-
riches mineralization, whereas in
its presence fluoride blocks min-
eralization," Sobel and Goldenberg
report. "If our data on ossification
studies produced by artificial •calci-
ying media apply also to growing
teeth and bones, it would seem ad-
visable to restrict the amount of
magnesium taken in the diet in
order to avoid a retardation of bone
development by fluoridation."

When it teas first announced that
the big league baseball mogulshad
tied a can to Happy Chandler'. as
FIigh Commissioner there :':'Was
much speculation as to 'who would
be eleceted as his successor. Prac-
tically everybody from General
Douglas MacArthur to. Fratjkie
Costello was named as a possibility
and it wasn't till a couple of, weeks
or so ago that a most amazing fact
came to light; baseball had named
to its highest position as, pian who
actually knows baseball.
*
In view of some of the goofy
things the baseball brass has done
since the days when Abner 'Double-
day—or maybe it was the Russians
—invented the game,. Frick's ap-
pointment is not amazing.., :Its is
positively astounding. Arid 'al-
though, of course, it is too soon to
even guess what kind of a job
Frick will do, everybody who. has
ever met the man or done business
with hills looks for it to be an out-
standing one,
k :k *
Today, there isn't a really weak
sister among the eight National
League clubs. When Frick became
President of that loop some seven-
teen years ago there were several.
'K * *
Tl;e Brooklyn Dodgers, for ex-
ample, were about two jumps ahead
of the bailiff. Frick took matters
into his own hands and insisted
that the Dodgers bring in Larry
McPhail. The latter had his faults, •
of course—but just look at those
Dodgers today. We mean from a
financial standpoint, of course.
k 'k a
Then there were the Philadelphia
Phill'es—about the saddest looking
outfit ever to call itself a Major
League teats, Frick was the man
who braugh tin Bob Carpenter and
what appeared to be almost a corpse
wolf a pennant for the first time
within the memory of most, The
Boston I3raves were also down in
the sloughs till Frick persuaded
Lau Perini and his fellow "Steam
Shovel" millionaires to take over,
(."incilrnatti Beds were losing
money year after year. Larry Mac-
Phail -- then general manager of
the Reds—said that night baseball
was the only possible means of
salvation, A lot of tl:e wiseacres and
die-hards were against it. Ford
Frick was the gent who led the
battle for major league floodlight
games ---a move that saved baseball
not only in Cineinnatti, but in a
whole lot of other places as well.
* * *
Ford Frick showed at his very
best during Jackie Robinson's first
year with the Dodgers. Well-found-
ed rumors were going around that
same lame -brained members of the
St. Louis Cardinals had agreed to
go on strike, flatly refusing to play
against a Negro. The repercussions
of such an act would have shaken
baseball to its foundation, The
forthright Ford quashed that rebel-
lion before it ever had a chance to
forst.
• * *
Angrily he strode into the Car-
dinal clubhouse and told the as-
sembled players that he'd heard the
rumors. He didn't aslc whether or
not they were tree.
* 'k 'k
"I've beard that you fellows are
planning a walkout," he said, grimly,
"If so, I'd advise you to keep on
walking. And I don't care if it
wrecks the league. This boy, Jackie
Robinson, is entitled to a chance to
make good and I'm going to see
that he gets it."
* * 'k
With .that preliminary he tore
into them in earnest. Never again
was there the slgihtest effort made
by anyone in the sport to interfere
with the inherent rights of Jackie
Robinson or any other Negro. Per-
' Laps this was to be the brightest
feather in the Frick cap,
'k 'k *
In fact, during all his seventeen
years as National League prexy
Frick made only one serious error
—and now, looking back, it doesn't
seem so serious, at that. However,
at the time ,it caused plenty of
laughs at Frick's expense.
* 'k
Dizzy Dean was probably the
most important man in the league
then and the Great Mouthpiece bad
popped off in a speech. In the
course of his remarks he had ut-
tered the deathless phrase, "All
umpires is robbers." Frick hauled
the Great Man on the carpet and
demanded a written apology while
a horde of reporters waited breath-
lessly outside. From the open tran-
som they, heard Diz say:
"I ain't signin' no statement."
Nor did he. Frick had to admit
defeat.
* •k ,'<
Still and all, Ford Frick wasn't
the first to tangle with Dizzy and
come out second-best. Nor, in all
probability, will he be the last.
And we think that baseball, for
once, is to be congratulated on an
extremely sensible move.
