CHICAGO INDIAN SNOW SECRET
It takes all kinds of forecasters to
make up this weather-conscious world,
so we’re including this item based on
a purported old Indian custom, from
the Chicago Daily News.
This theory says that you can fore¬
tell the number of snows you’ll have
“deep enough to track a cat in” dur¬
ing a winter by adding the date of
the first measurable snow and the
moon’s age on that date.
Thus if the first measurable snow
falls on November 26, and the moon’s
age is four days, you can expect 30
snows in the winter. If the date and
the moon’s age happen to add up to
something like 52, which is possible
in some years, you ean expect a very
white year.
Now this is subject to some eye¬
brow-raising, had for the city of Chicago days
in 86 years an average of 62
a year with a trace or more of snow,
but only 10 days with an inc-h or more.
A lot depends on the daintiness of
the cat you’re tracking. Some cats can
glide along without leaving a trace
in a foot of snow. Others are so awk¬
ward that they make footprints like
camel tracks in the faintest whispy
covering of white on a sidewalk. If
you are not a Chicago Indian, and
wish to follow this crazy method for
forecasting, pick your cat first, and
then double check with Baer’s Agri¬
cultural Almanac.
THE CHALLENGE ..............
OF THE HOUR ................................ ........
The Page News & Courier, of Luray,
Virginia has printed an editorial whose
theme is well told in its Headline:
“Individual Freedom: The Challenge
of the Hour”.
It says, in part: “Unfortunately
there exists in America today a far
reaching and false sentiment that only
through collectivism can there be
achievement. The pressure is felt in
the halls of Congress from so called
lobbies and various ‘blocs’ and this
sentiment is prevalent, far and wide, in
with the people back home, who,
the effort to gain their end, feel they
must get in stride. Thus they fall an
easy prey to ambitions which they
fail to recognize as the seducer of
their liberties.
“Ouj. political future, if the trend
continues, will be irrevocably bound
with policies which we cannot retract
and it could very well be that in the
end it will mean a new type of govern¬
ment, foreign to all which Americans
hold good and wholesome in a free
society. . .
“It is to be hoped that the dynamic
life of modem times in America can
be re-oriented and directed to the
importance of the individual as a vital
force in our society, our politics and
hopes for the future. When that
revival takes place, many of the pro¬
blems of this distorted and bewildered
world will be solved.”
Once the individual is submerged
in a faceless, collective mass, all the
material gains of which anyone can
conceive become meaningless. To save
America from this is, indeed, the
challenge of the hour.

FRIGHTENING PROSPECT^
j deals An editorial with in Editor “one-big & Publisher union”
a recent
proposal.
This one would have for its purpose
the domination of the newspaper busi¬
ness. The union typographical would be made up of
the Guild, the workers—
and, of great significance, the paper
makers. One advocate of the scheme
said frankly: “Control of the paper
supply is essential in battling against
unified management.”
This caused Editor & Publisher to
say: “In other words, the ‘one-big
union’ contemplates bringing a pub¬
lisher to his knees in any union dis¬
pute simply by cutting off his paper
supply... .
"Such a prospect is frightening for
the free press of this country. Free¬
dom would be a thing of the past.
These union leaders seem to want the
right and freedom to publish subject
to their o>vn control which it would be
if ail newspaper and newsprint work¬
ers are lumped into one assembly-line
type of union.”
People who work for newspapers
have every right to join together in
seeking higher wages or better work¬
ing conditions or any other such goal,
just as the people who work for other
enterprises have that right. But it is a
far cry from this to a super-union
which would have the power to tell a
publisher to accept its demands—or
ffo out of business for want of paper.
NUISANCE CALLED.......................
ARM TO OTHERS ............... ITT”
What is a nuisance ?
A nuisance is something whicl
causes another, hurt, inconvenience, thoughjt or damagi
to even might other
wise be a lawful act.
Nuisances are either public or pri
vate in nature. A public nuisance i:
one which causes inconvenience 01
damage to the public as a whole in tin
exercise the of rights which are commor
to public.
Such a nuisance would be one whiclt
interferes with the public health, such
diseased as a hogpen in town or the keeping ol
animals; likewise, an offense
to public morals may be a nuisance,
such as the maintenance of a lewd
house or of a gaming house or the
illegal sale of liquor.
public Perhaps the most common type of
nuisance is one which obstructs
the public comfort, such as bad odors,
smoke or vibration.
* * *
A PUBLIC nuisance gives rise to
a suit for injunction to protect the
general public but the nuisance must
bte of such a nature as to offend an
ordinary reasonable man, not the
exceptionally A private fastidious person alone.
nuisance is an interference
with the interest of a particular indivi¬
dual, usually in his use and enjoyment
of property. The harm to his property
rights must be substantial.
* * *
INTERFERENCE with the physical
condition of property is perhaps the
most common type of private nuisance,
such as vibration which damages the
house, destruction or flooding of the land, or
of crops. However, a pri¬
vate nuisance may also be a disturb¬
ance to th’e comfort or convenience of
the proprietor of property caused by
smoke, unpleasant odors, loud noises,
or may be something which merely
disturbs his tranquility, such as a
neighboring taking bawdy house or under¬
establishment.
Also, a threatened injury may be
such as to be a present menace" and
thus interfere with the owner’s enjoy¬
ment of his property. This would be
the case of the maintenance of a
vicious animal nearby or the storing
of explosives. However, in all cases,
the interference must be substantial
and unreasonable in nature and must
be such as to inconvenience a normally
tolerant, reasonable person
