RR President Chooses Reply
ior Would-De RR President
CHICAGO —(NEA)—C. H. Bu
ord, president of the Milwaukee
2ailroad, was once a barefoot lad
Sicking around the sand burrs of
\rkansas. So it was with a touch
f nostalgia that he read a letter,
n his busy Chicago office, from a
5-year-old boy in Blue Earth,
finn, who wrote that he had
‘chosen to be a railroad presi
lent.”
FEugene Knol, a high school
-reshman, told Buford that he had
herished the ambition for two
ears. Now he had to compose a
chool paper on what he planned
o do in adult life. With youthful
lirectness, he asked the man he
hought should know best, The
otter found its way “through
Lannele” and Buford found him
elf. as he said, “on the spot” for
reply.
Buford thought a long time be
‘ore answering. Then, for Eu
ene’s guidance, he offered a nine
oint program, outlining the for
sula for success in practically any
areer:
1: Railroad men must be strong
nd physically ne.. L
9: No young man can hope to
e & railroad precident unless he
s scrupulously honest, conscien
ious and considerate.
3. You must be willing to work
.ard. and love it, without watch
1g the clock.
4: TLearn the value of a dollar.
“on’t waste your own or your em
wlover’'s money. i
5. Cultivate a friendly and
-leasing personality. Don’t be a
rouch.
6: Finish college and perhaps a
sachnical school. Decide whether
-ou want to achieve a railroad
residency through engineering,
ccounting, business administra
‘on, law or some other activity.
t is most important to choose the
“he you will like,
7- Try to work for some rail
-ooad during summer vacations. A
ailroad president must know a
reat deal about all types of rail
oad work.
8: To get your first job, go with
« letter of introduction, if pos
ible to the man in charge wher
ver you find there is an opening.
“therwise, go on your own, and
se the personality you will have
Jeveloped by that time.
9: By the time your preparation
s finish#d, you will undoubtedly
ave decided the kind of job you
ould fike to have for permanent
‘mployment, and you should go
- tter in the same way you went
- fter your first job. . |
Eugene, whose hobbies are
model railroading and collecting
imetables, fofllowed up his letter
/ith a personal visit to Buford in.
“hicago. The railroad president
speated the concluding paragraph
f his letter: :
“I sincerely hope that your am
“ition may be achieved and that
>me day, when I am not around,
10se of vour generation will read
‘e annual report of a large rail
oad, signed by Eugene Knol, pres
dent.” :
PECAN HARVESIING |
The ideal ground condition for
“arvesting pecans comes with a
ain following the sowing of a
/inter cover crop. The. sprouting
«ror will not be hurt appreciably
n harvesting.
PROFIT FROM TURKEYS
The amount of profit from &
‘urkey enterprise is offen deter
ained by the number of weeks
hey ar fed. Feed consumption is
igh and each week turkeys are
leld over after reaching prim
ondition costs the producer
noney.
COVER CROP TIP -
The use of winter cover crops
n combination with phosphate,
-ime and potash is one of the best
nethods figown for increasing
'rop yields. Yields have been
nore than doubled the first year
nd larger increases obtained over
< period of ‘years.
FARM CONSTRUCTION
One of the most important con
truction details in building farm
uildings is to keep wood parts
rom touching moist earth, Fungi
hat cause decay are able to grow
nd multiply in wood with a mois
ure content of more thzn 20 per
ent.
The cotton report as of Sept
mber 1, 1949 places this year’s
otton crop at 14,943,000 bales, as
ompared to 14,863,000 last year.
Because the shock of freezing
hrinks and hardens wool, it is
est to dry washable woolens in
doors in cold weather.

Large Women
Can Carry-Off
Boid IFashion
101 S
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer
The large woman'’s {icket to chic
is good grooming that's bold, not
bashful.
The more pounds her scales reg
ister, the bolder her clothes effects
should be. If handled tastefully,
her lively dress coiors, important
pieces of jewelry, unusual styles
in handbags, hats and other ac
cessories will help her to make
capital of her Junoseque size.
And why shouldn't sh e make
capital of this attribute? It may
be turned into an attraction which
can make pin-sized w)men envi=-
ous.
If a large woman dresses quiet
ly hoping that no one will take
much notice, she’s making & mis
take by making an apology for
her size,
Size aided by important good
grooming can give a large wo
man majestic attractions. The one
thing more which she needs, how
ever, to put these across is as
sertive posture: the regally erect
kind that can be used by a large
beautifully dressed woman to stop
conversation when she makes her
entrance.

Glass Case
Has Glamor
By ALICIA HART ;
NEA Staff Writer
Women of today who have got
ten over their dislike of eye
glasses because they’ve found
smart frames for their specs can
carry their glamor a couple of
steps farther.
~ They can put their eyeglasses in
good-looking cases. A handsome
case can be mmade of needlepoint,
also of metallic yarn, which any
body who can crochet can make.
An eyeglass case can be made of
quilted upholstery satin in a color
to match the handbag in which
specs are carried. The leather
goods people make handsome styl
ized eyeglass cases which a wom=
an can buy if she doesn’t want to
make one. .
Another accessory which helps a
woman to keep tab on her specs
and which helps as much to dram
atize their role is a neckpiece rib
bon that fastens to the stems of
glasses by means of tiny rubber
suction cups.
Today’s women who have ac
eess to these gay modern accesso
ries have it all over their %reat
grandmas who probably disliked
wearing eyeglasses but who didn’t
have the help of modern stylists
to make their specs glamorous.
SWEET POTATO CROP
Although the nation’s sweet po
tato crop is still below -average,
it’s about four percent larger than
last year. Market supplies are ex
pected to be heaviest in this area
in October.

TIRE STILL BOUNCES AT 75 BELOW—The tire resting in
the deep freeze above is made from a new synthetic rubber com
pound that bounces Instead of shattering at 75 degrees below zero.
Physicist G. L. Hall at the Firestone Company laboratory in Akron,
0., checks data on the Arctic rubber tire which may enable engi~-
neers to solve many problems of machinery operation in sub-zero
climates. The best rubber tires freeze hard as rock at 60 betow,
develop permanent flat spots when parked, and lose their treads
through chipping. The new tire is expected to remain service
able at 75 degrees below zero.

‘The blood flowing thiough the
arteries presses on the walls of
these tubes iust ag water does on
an ordinary gaxden nose. The
amount of this pressne is usually
measured by tying a kend or cuff
around the arm and inflating it
with air until the air pressure
equals that in the artery.
When the heart contracts it
forces the blood out into the ar
deries and this produces the high
point of the prescure. When the
heart relaxes the pressure of blood
in the arteries falls somewhat.
The high point of the pressure is
called ‘“‘systolic” and the low point
is called ‘“diastolic.” 'This is why

doctors give two figures for the
blood pres ure such as 120 over 80.
The beat of the heart isn’'t the
only thing which acts on the blood
pressure. The amount of bload
present, the condition of the ar
teries, especially their elasticity,
the thickness of the blved, and the
nerve supply to the walls of the
arteries also influence the blood
pressure.
OTHER POSSIBILITIES
The blood pressure dces not re
main the same all of the time.
Nervous disturkances, cold, exer=
cise and excitement tenrd to in
crease the blood pressure. For this
reason it is oft:n true that the first
test of the blood pressure in a
doctor’s office may be n:gher than
normal, just because oi the ex

A constantly high blood pressure
can come from the heart. It can
