Wild West Tactics Save A Sailor
From New York City Drowning
ONE man's foresight, resource
fulness, fast action, and faster
thinking—plus good luck—com
bined to save a sailor from drown
ing almost in the shadow of the
skyscrapers of downtown New
York.
The fast action, resourcefulness
—and good luck—were personified
by Frank Hahnel, a watchman.
Hahnel had completed his night’s
work at the building he guards
and had stepped out on to South
Street for a breath of early morn
ng air. In the dim light of a street
lamp, he saw the sailor. The young
man was walking the stringpiece
between two of the piers that
fringe New York’s famed East
River. ,
The sailor seemed to be looking
tor his ship. Then he stumbled on
•he stringpiece. Arms out. clutch
•mg at the air. he swung around
as if in a slow movie—and toppled
into the river.
Hahnel ran for the spot, pulling
out his flashlight. It was bitterly
cold, and a strong tide was run
ning down river toward Brooklyn
Bridge, two hundred yards away.
If the current carried the sailor
among the ice-covered piles be
neath the piers, his chances of res
cue were ended.
He was still visible when Hah
nel got to the pier. He had hit
the water fifteen feet below the
street level, come to the surface
and\vas going around in a slow
'whirlpool made by a jutting cor
ner of stonework
The beam of Hahnel s light dis
closed a coil of rope on a barge. He

Arver part of some emergency
equipment there. Attaching the
one he threw the lite preserver

<nana"ed to get his hands on it. At
ii nv moment he might lose his grip
'—the icy water and the shock ot
sudden immersion had taken all
bis strength

scene . It was evident that the vic-

ture promises that every effort wil be 1
made to have machinery available at j
strategic points, accessible to every J
grower, provided there is enough:
acreage in his locality to justify the j
furnishing of this machinery.
Marketing facilities and warehous
es will be on the same lines as the
Peanut Marketing Program of recent
years, and the same effort will be
made to eliminate difficulties of tran
sportation and undue inconvenience,
for the grower. Under the program, i
the farmer receives cash without de- j
lay for his peanuts when he brings !
them to town.
Price, which is necessarily a strong!
factor has already been announced al ■
not less than $82.00 for U. S. Num-]
her One Spanish and $78.00 for U. S.|
Number One Runner, with, corre
spending differentials for other grad
es. But this is only the bottom at j
which these prices will be supported.
Today these prices are SBB.OO for
Number One Spanish and $84.00 for
Number One Runners and with the]
short supply of oils there is no rea
son to belive the market prices will
be any less this fall.
This sets a presedent. as never be-j
fore has a pegged price been an-,
nounced for a crop to be grown or.
unlimited acreage.
Farm labor, another very impor- j
tant part of the farmer’s considera-j
tion as he plunges into wartime pro .
duction, is still an unknown quantity.
But the papers and farm magazines
are full of the efforts of the leaders of
the nation to solve that problem. It
was in regard to the labor-for-harvest
ing problem of the peanut farmer
that Secretary Wickard said: "You
get the teed in the ground. That’s
your part. And I believe that when
your crop is ready for harvesting,!
the means will be found to harvest it.

tim was helpless, so Hahnel then
staged his Wild West act. He fix
ed a running noose in the free end
of the line and began making casts,
at the revolving sailor. After a
half dozen tries he succeeded in
lassoing the young man. Then he
worked the rope down around the
sailor's shoulders, drew it taut,
and hauled him up to safety.
“A flashlights part of my reg
ularequipment," Hahnelsaid, "but
if I had been without it, there
would have been no more sailor.
I had loaded the light with fresh
batteries, and it was the bright
beam we had to work with that
made it possible for us to do the
job, especially that lassoing act.
i It all still seems a little strange

Hahnel completed the job by
calling an ambulance, which gave

Increase Is
Among Women

Federal Bureau of Investigation, the

among women increased 11.3% last

, only 2.8 f < among men.
Os the 630,568 arrest records ex
amined by the F. B. I. during 1941,
Mr. Hoover said, 9.2% were women.
In 1940, 8.5% of the total were wo
men. and in 1939 only 7.6%. At the
same time, the records showed that
more men than women were arrested
for all types of crimes except com
mercialized vice.
While fewer women than men were

arrested during 1941, a breakdown of
the arrest records disclosed that 12
out of each 1,000 women arrested
were charged with murder, as compar
ed with 10 out of each 1.000 men.
Men predominated in arersts for
crimes against property, such as rob
bery, burglary and auto theft. Women
were proportionately arrested more
often than men,, however, for larceny.
Os each 1,000 men taken into cus
tody during 1941, the F. B. I.’s records
showed, 58 were charged with driv
ing while intoxicated. Only 17 of each
1.000 women arrested were charged

In this day of world crisis let us re- '
i member the world-wide nature of this
special Day of Prayer. For some there
will be no hindrances to gathering in |
groups for prayer, but let us not for- '
get that for many thousands of our i
fellow-Christians the observance of .
this day of prayer will require cour
age and fortitude, for it shall be in the
midst of widespread destruction in
many places and in the face of grave
danger to those who gather.
With an increasing sense of our one
ness in Christ with women around
i the world, may we all unite in prayer,
1 not only on this special Day of Pray
er, but on every day, that the people
of every land may find the Way, he
Truth, and the Life in Christ Jesus
i our Saviour and Lord.
