RINGLING — 2-SSII News Columns May Contain Grim Humor Newspapers are operated by human begins, and so make mis takes sometimes. The gremlin known as the typographical error and the mental blank that hits the in experienced reporter while writ ing this story make for weird reading sometimes — and oc casionally humor, though it may not be funny to the persons in volved. Newspaper lore is full of classic stories of such errors. One concerns the cub reporter on his first story who wrote as follows about a divorce proceed ing: “Mrs. Dobbie Weeks filed a divorce complaint. Mrs. Weeks charged that Dobbie was guilty of mental cruelty and that dur ing their four years of married life he spoke to her only three times. She asks for custody of their three children.” Then there was the Georgia headline writer who came up with this one about a labor con troversy: “Dalton to File New Union Suit.” The ads, too, can sometimes be unintentionally humorous as witness by these two classifieds: “Wanted: Man to handle dy namite. Must be able to travel on short notice.” “Grown Boxer. Will eat any thing. Especially fond of chil dren.” A city fellow visited his coun try cousin. It was late in the afternoon and the country was very busy. “What can I do to help,” asked the city. man. “Milk the cow while I do the chores,” replied the country cousin. The city man squeezed and squeezed, but no milk came forth into the bucket. Finally, the cow spoke out in desperation. “Listen,” said the cow. “This thing takes cooperation. You hold on and I’ll jump up and down.” Whereupon, the milk came on schedule. The moral of this story, if any, is that if the readers of news papers will hold on, the news papers will jump up and down until together we achieve good things for our communities. •merrutionet deity «rw»W«r Knight-Vickers Drug Store Ernest Knight, Carey Jones, Gordon Hardie, Pharmacists Phone 2254 Jesup, Ga. From the road up, 1957 Fords are a complete departure from previous models. They wiU b< unveiled by Ford dealers in 19 body styles, of which this is the four door Victoria, a membe the new "Fairlane 500” series. Fairlane models are nine inches longer and four inches lower in their 1956 counterparts. Though the new models are lower, interior headroom is as great as last year, since the car’s chassis and floor are re-designed for a lower center of gravity. 1957 Fords on Display; Built Longer and Lower DEARBORN, MICH. —For the first time in its 53-year history, Ford Motor Company will produce two sizes of Ford cars, the company announced today. The 19 new models to be unveiled by Ford dealers Wednesday morn ing will have the highest performance engines ever offer- ed in the low price field. R. S. McNamara, Ford Motor Company vice president and Ford Division general manager, said the 1957 Fords “represent the biggest change in the modern history of the Ford car.” The new Ford divides into two basics sizes, Fairlane and Cus tom, plus the station wagon series, each with its own body and chassis. In addition, the Fair lane series has been expanded to offer “Fairlane 500” models, which have extra luxury fea tures. The 1957 Fairlane and Fairlane 500 sedans are nine inches long er and four inches lower than last year’s comparable models. Custom and Custom 300 sedans are more than three inches long er and nearly three and one half inches lower than the 1956 models. Station wagons are three and one-half inches lower and nearly six inches longer. Fair lanes and Fairlane 500’s are built on a 118-inch wheelbase. Station wagons, Customs and Custom 300’s have a 116-inch wheelbase. “There has been no sacrifice of headroom inside the car, in spite of their reduced height,” Mr. McNamara said. “The new frame extends to the sides of the car, and this permits the floor to be lowered inside the frame rails. “The design and styling are new from the ground up. Every dimension is changed. Wheels, frame, rear axle, drive shaft, ehgines, and every inch of sheet metal in every body style are definite departures from past models,” he explained. „ Riding ease has been greatly improving by using a longer, wider frame with lower pressure tires on wider treads, and em ploying redesigned ball-joipt sus pension in front and outboard mounted, longer leaf springs in back. Because there is more spring length ahead of the rear axle, front' end dip on quick stops is checked better than ever before. “Durability is built into the 1957 Ford through stronger alloy metals, greater use of insulation and sound-deadening materials, longer-wearing fabrics and plas tics, and strengthening of me chanical parts," Mr. McNamara pointed out. For the first time, a high per formance V-8 engine is available as an optional power plant on all Ford cars. The engine, called the Thunderbird Special, devel- ops 245 horsepower, and is equip ped with a four-barrel low sil-' houette carburetor. Standard engine for the Fair lane and station wagon series is the 212 h.p. Thunderbird V-8. A 190 h.p. V-8 is standard for the Custom and Custom 300 series. Both have two-barrel carbure tors. In addition, the 144 h.p. Mileage Maker six is available on all models. All engines can be ordered with standard, over drive or Fordomatic transmis sions. Advanced design of the en gines’ carburetion, combustion chamber, and exhaust system, plus stepped-up compression, provides increased operating ec onomy in all models. The dry type air filter, carburetors, in take valves, camshaft, and dis tributor are the new components which give Ford increased per formance. Ford’s new styling starts with wide hooded headlights and a forward slanting grille, and in cludes streamlined wheel open ings, a windshield that wraps further around the sides for better visibility, distinctive fins at the rear, and contoured sides that give the car a sculptured look. Accident Rate High on Farms When the farmer stopped hav ing to rest his horses periodically, he also stopped resting himself. This failure to observe rest per iods and the accompaning fatigue is blamed today for many farm accidents. Deaths from farm accidents in 1954 totaled 14,000, rate of 61.7 per 100,000 farm residents. Motor vehicle accidents were responsi ble for the greatest share, fol lowed by “work” accidents, in cluding accidents with farm ma chinery. Among major industries farming ranks third in the num ber of accidental deaths per 100,- 000 workers, an article in the August 4 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Associa tion states. Horse-to-Motor Shift Blamed It is believed the high level of work accidents on the farm is partially due to the shift from horse-drawn to motor-driven ma chinery. Horses had to be rested periodi cally, and with this came rest for the driver. The same horses could not be worked 10 to 15 hours a day for several days. Now it is not unusual for a farmer to spend more than 10 hours a day in the field with a tractor, especially if he gets a late start because of weather or soil conditions. Studies have shown that there is a peek midmorning and mid afternoon period during which the majority of accidents occur. Thus a midmorning break, like that given in most factories, is a good idea for the farmer. Safety Devices Limited or Unused Carelessness in the handling of machinery and poor safety design also have contributed to farm accidents. Only in recent years have manufacturers been inter ested in safety of farm machin ery, but the safety devices now provided are not always appreci ated by the farmer, the Medical Journal article indicates. In some instances, accidents have been at tributed to the farmer’s removal of safeguards on machinery. Tractor accidents accounts for 700 deaths a year. Roughly 11 per cent of the victims are children under 5 years of age and an addi tional 5 per cent are between the ages of 5 and 9 years.

Wilson Tax Collector of Brantley County Religiously Speaking By Rev. Howard D. Blalock, Pastor Emmanuel Baptist Church, Blackshear BACK SEAT LISTENERS In a small church in southern Illinois, according to Harry C. Vaughn, a bus driver came in the beginning of the service and sat in the very first row. After the sermon the preacher, talking to the man, asked why he had oc cupied that position all alone. The bus driver explained, “I sat up here to see what you do to make everyone move to the back.” The bus driver did not say whe ther or not he discovered the reason for back seaters in our churches. Maybe there are many reasons. Some possibly sit there so they can get out easily when the going gets tough. But this doesn’t al way work. The preacher some times has a friend like little fifteen-month-old Debra, justifi ably a back seater. She proved herself on the side of the preach er during her first trip to the church with her parents. She fussed as any normal child would. But her mother and dad were able to keep her under control until a couple behind tried to slip out when the going got tough. Debra’s cries of “bye, bye” brought the couple, red faced, back to their rear seats. Some people sit on the back seat because they suspect their napping is more inconspicuous.. But it isn’t, at least to the preacher and the choir. There people need to learn to sleep in such away as to deceive. Maybe I shouldn’t pass this on; but the “Lancet”, a British med ical journal, gives this advice to nappers. “The head should rest firmly on a tripod formed of the trunk and of the arms firmly placed on the table (or back of bench). The head should be placed in the hands in a slightly flexed position to allow the ton gue to fall forward and prevent stertorous breathing (snoring). The fingers should be outstreched over the face and eyes, pressing the skin on the forehead upwards to wrinkle it. This gives the ap pearance of deep concentration.” It works, too. Another probable reason for back seaters in our churches is that they suppose themselves to be in a hurry. When the bene- diction is pronounced, they are in a good position to scamper out. One preacher described this amusing scene in this manner: “The way they get out of the church when the benediction is said reminds me of saying scat to a house full of cats.” Many janitors add speed to this already spirited race with their peculiar rules for worshipers. A visitor in town paused after the sermon to chat with a regular church-goer. “Yes,” he said, “I liked the service in your church very much. But one thing puz zles me; why does the congrega tion hurry out so quickly after the benediction?” “Well, sir,” replied the native, “the janitor makes s them leave their hats in the vestibule, and those who get out late haven’t much of a choice.” I do not know why people sit on the back seats. I think one of the best suppositions is be cause they are Americans. I am highly in favor of worshipers sitting where they please when they attend church. Back seaters create a problem only when the church is half empty. The biggest problem is caused by those folks who never go to church at all. The “Great North ern Goat”, published by the Great Northern Railway, gives a good answer to this problem. A minister met an unregen erate acquaintance on the street and inquired during their brief conversation, “Just what do you have against coming to church?” “Plenty!” snarled the sinner. “The first time I went, they threw water in my face and the second time they tied me to a woman I’ve had to support ever since.” “I see,” said the preacher, “and the next time they’ll throw dirt on you.” PASTURES FOR EWES It is important to provide early temporary winter pastures for ewes suckling big lambs, states Pete DeLoach, sheep specialist for the Agricultural Extension Ser vice. Ewes should have access to lush grazing through May at which time they are marketed at at weights of 80 to 100 pounds.
