Zurich Herald, 1949-10-13, Page 2Lightning Struck Once ---f eweler B. E. Walzel sincerely hopes
*the old adage that lightning never strikes twice in the salve
place is true. Because, the place where lightning struck once
was Walzel's head. The bolt passed through his body, stripped
A watch from his wrist -the shattered parts of which Walzel
examines above --and came out his heel.. The only injury was .
a slight burn on the heel.

Barns dont blow down -accord-
ing to a well-known building spe-
cialist -they blow up. And the
reason they do so, he says, is be-
cause they haven't been properly
anchored to the ground. Just in
case some of you might be inter-
ested, l'ng passing along. certain
recommendations made by J. C.
Andros, the aforementioned spe-
cialist.
r e
He claims that there's no real
trick about anchoring a building
properly. The whole trouble is
that, because the building seems. -
heavy enough to stay in place by
itself, same builders get a trifle
cereless-to their later regret.
* * *
For concrete walls, he recom-
mends anchor bolts six feet apart,
and extending down 12 inches into
the wall. For concrete block or
tile walls, sink the anchor bolts
down through at least two courses
of the blacks. And make certain
that you fill the holes around the
bolts with concrete.
* * +r
For frame buildings, Andros re•
commends the "triple -grip" type of
framing anchor. With this sheet
metal connector, you can connect
the joints at sill, plate and ridge;
It's made of zinc -coated sheet steel,
18 -gauge, and comes proivded with
nail holes. Follow these sugges-
tions, Andros claims, and your farm
buildings won't blow up -or down,
They'll stay in place.

"Why do boys leave the farm?"
is a question almost as ancient as
the one about "How old is Ann?"
-and is the subject of an interest-
ing survey recently made among
several hundred land owners in the
Middle West.
* * *
And, when you come to think it
over, there's few questions of more
vital importance to our nation. How
Many young fanners, for example,
in your neighborhopd are operating
the very same farms their fathers
did a few years ago? And of these,
just how many have stayed on the
land -except for time at school or
in the armed services -since boy-
hood days?
* * *
Not very many, • you'll probably
discover Yet, according to one
commentator, we act as if it were
the usual thing for a boy to grow
lap on his father's farm, learn how
to work it, and take his father's
place. In actual practice, there are
a lot of things tilat can upset this
pattern,
* *
SoIuetimes the farm is a one-man
farm. The boy, grown up, can't
make a living on it unless the old
man gets off. And the "old roan,"
at 40 or 50 years old, isn't ready to
step out for a young man of only
20 or .30.
* * *
Sometimes the farm is a second-
rate rented farm, with the father
not doing too well. So the boy
looks for a better job in town, or
in working for a more skillful or
more lucky farm operator.
* * *
Sometimes the farm is big
enough to support two families.
And the boy is urged to stay on
the farm. But he leaves anyway.
* * *
Among several hundred land•
owners surveyed, over half warked
in town for some time before they
became owners. Others, who event-
ually returned to the home farm,
worked or rented away from the
home farm for years before they
came back to buy.
* *
When the feral is big, when both
father and son can find morn for
their energies on the place, why
can't father -son plans be worked
out?.
We hear of plenty of reasons.
Here are two:
1. No definite plans for transfer
of ownership or control. Too much
talk like this: "You stay with me,
John, and I'II see you don't lose by
it." That's •no substitute for a defi-
nite contract.
2. The old man bosses too much,
is too resistant to new icleas:''isfiat'S
what the boy thinks. The boy is
too brash,' wants to try too many
"fool new ideas." That's what the
old man thinks.•The two can't get
along.
For one reason or another, many
boys rent away from home, come
back only when bhe old man is will-
ing to give up control and move to
town.
Two generations on the same
farm still have trouble living to-
gether.
* *
Maybe we need ways to train
boys from poor farms for good jobs
in town or on farms. Then help
Later to start some to farming. For
boys from good farms, maybe the
problem is to show old men and
young men how to get along to-
gether.
* •* *
That's quite a job. Adam's boys
left home because they couldn't
stand the old man bossing them.
And Adam's great-greett-great-etc:
graaldc'hildren still act in the same
way,

Every Sunday our esteemed con:
tetnparary, The New York Times,
publishes a sort of country -Wide
"round -up" made up of dispatches
from special correspondents. The
purpose of this feature is to picture
for its readers just what the people
of "the greatest country on earth"
are thinking and, talking about. It's
a1 rays (nighty interesting reading
and seldom more so than the latest
sample which we saw, dated Oc-
tober Second,
* * *
Before passing along to you a
few excerpts from this piece, we.
would remind you of a 'couple of`
matters. During the previous week,
the people of the U.S.A. had just:
become aware that Mr. Stalin and
his boys were possessed of the atom
bomb -possibly the most devastat-
ing bit of news to break in half
a century or more. Also, there
loomed on the horizon -and not too
distant a horizon at that :the steel
and coal strikes, threatening to tie
up the.. affairs of the entire con-
tinent tighter than Harry Houdini
was ever tied.
* * *
So here, according to The New
York Times, was what occupied the
minds of tOie citizenry at such a
juncture -and .a similar survey here
in Canada would probably have
brought similar results. •
* * ,k_ •
"New England. The attention of
New Englanders was occupied this.
week with television and radio
broadcasts of the American League
pennant race to the virtual exclu-
sion of all other • topics. People
appeared almost unanimous in their
opinion that if Russia had the atom
bomb, there was nothing that they,
individually, could do about it. NA
more immediate, pressing concern
was whether Ted Williams, of the
Boston Red Sox, would hit any
more home runs against the New
York Yankees."
* * *
"The Deep South. The battle for
the two major baseball league pen-
nants temporarily overshadowed in-
terest of this section of the South
in such proble'nis as control of
atomic weapons, devaluation of the
British pound and labor disputes.
Baseball fans clustered about
radio sets bringing play-by-play •
descriptions of games involving' the
four pennant contenders. '' Racism
manifested itself among the fans in
some sections. Thousands of South- .
erners are rooting for the Card-
inals to beat out the Dodgers simp-
ly because of the presence of Negro
stars Jackie Robinson, Don New-
combe and Roy Campanella on the a.
Brooklyn club. The Red Sox were
the favorites 'in the . Americad
League."
, * *
"The Central States. While Cen-
tral Western sports fans sat ail` the
edge of their chairs before, radios
and television sets this week, root-
ing for their favorite teams in the
major leagues' hot pennant races,
industrialists uneasily scanned their
diminishing soft -coal stockpiles and
wondered whether John L. Lewis
would let them replenish their coal
bins."
* :r *
"The Pacific Coast. The spectac-
ular battle between the New York
Yankees and .the Boston Red Sex
for the •Aiiiierican League baseball
pennant and a different kind of bat-
tle, involving attempts to unload
Hawaiian pineapples on the West
Coast despite picket Tines and
cracked heads, gripped attention of
late last week."
These matters overshadowed
news of ,Russia's achievement in
atomic energy, word of which had
claimed priority for about two days
late last week. '
* * *

there's plenty, And ourtonly com-
ment is this: If we were to came

ANCIENT CAPITAL
One of the most interesting
• places in the world is Cuzco, the
`'.ancient capital of the Empire of the
Incas. In the days of the Spanish
Conquest of. Peru it was the largest
city in America, On a hill back of
it is a very old fortress, a ',place
of refuge for centuries. The north-
ern wall of that fortress is perhaps
the most extraordinary structure
bililt by ancient man in the West-
ern Hemisphere. In fact, as an
achievement of engineering, ;t
stands without parallel in American
antiquity. The smaller blocks in the
wall weight ten or twenty tons.
Larger blocks are estimated to
weigh two hundred tons. A few of
the largest weigh three hundred
• tons! And yet they are fitted ac\
curately together, There are no
clamps. There was no cement used
in constructing the wall. The
gigantic polygonal blocks cling so
closely together that it is imposible
to' insert the point of a knife be-
•• tween them. And they were brought
. from quarries more than a mile
away where they were fashioned
by people using stone tools. They
were moved over an inclined plane
by levers. The Incas had• no iron
or steel, but they had bronze crow-
bars of great strength. They had
no derricks or pulleys or wheels,
but they had thousands of patient
workers. The determination and the
perseverance of the builders stag-
gers the inla•gina,tion.
Can't Cooperate
With The Reds
Every' calendar day brings new
proof that cooperation with Com-
munist groups is dangerous to all
that gives life value -belief in God
and the possibility of higher spir-
itual life. Denying this, communism
strips the human being of "dignity
and rejects his individual respon-
sibility.
Individual responsibility and the
right to make decisions affecting
one's own life do not fit in with
the aims of the Politburo; hence
the churches, which uphold the
moral responsibility of each human
being, must be brought under con-
trol of _the Politburo. When the
ehurch resists, force and intrigue
are employed by the Communists
to the end that religion may be
abolished.
Free trade unions were one of
the first groups to learn that they
could ,not cooperate with Commun-
ists without becoming tools to serve
totalitarian • ends, This was the
meaning of the recent conference in
Geneva ••of • representatives of 47,-
000,000
7;000,000 workers of free lands who
were determined to organize a new
world federation of labor along
democratic lines and free from
Kremlin control. That conference
agreed upon the kind of organiza-
tion that could serve free trade
unions and appointed a committee
to draft a constitution. -William
Green, president • of the American
Federation of' Labors
