Finding' Fish With Electronics! - ay © © by Warg Canuel - NEA Staff Correspondent 'Waltham, Mass. -- Chalk up another victory, for modern sci- ence over nature. In this instance, human nature, For a recent survey probing deep into 'the 'subconscious of Ameri' can sportsmeén' shows ' beyond a doubt that what fishing - en- thusiasts basically want is fish, 'Now this is the kind of data that will upset philosophers and psychiatrists for years to come, - But in the meantime, so it shouldn't be a total loss, an elec- tronics company in Waltham is now in: full production with a device guaranteed to find a fish anywhere within a range of 120 feet. : Proof of booth the survey and ultrasonle signals: per minute and catching the returning ech. oes as a series of flashes on indicator, Raytheon people as- sure me that the sonics are too ultra to be heard by fishermen or fish, ] "It requires only a few mo- oh engineers ments' instruction," say, "to learn how' to interpret the different kinds of flashes on the indicator: how to: tell- what is - lake bottom, rock, mud or fish," it Actually, the fishfinder has a world of uses away from the lake or stream. 3 "It will measure the depth of any liquid," a sales executive said, "so we have orders from brewers, oil distributors, eivil defense goups and' farmers. "It will alsg work on land and detect obstacles like frees and buildings but there is some doubt as to its real need in this area." HE NEVER HAD A CHANCE: This striped bass was caught with the ald of the fish-finder (right). . its answering invention lies in the' company's sales office. "We're turning out one fish- finder every two minutes on our assembly line," a (Raytheon) company official said. "We've made it very clear that the de- vice costs $125, is guaranteed for only five years, and that you will probably 'have to spend $9.95 every year to replace the batteries. "Even so, we're running 20 per cent behind our orders." The machine itself is shaped like a standard-sized alarm clock, weighs five pounds and has, for some treason or other, been smartly styled in gray and cream, It works by sending out 1,200 By far, of course, the biggest . demand has come from out-and- out sports fishermen who rely on this acivity to escape the tre- mendous strains of their lives. And so, stacks of orders show the first wave is from fearfully busy titans -- bank presidents, doctors, board chairmen, etc. -- as you can see immediately how this gadget can step up a vaca- tion or an afternoon off. No more muss, fuss or tedious hours of unproductive diversion. You merely scan the bottom with your fishfinder until you find the fish. Then you 'simply shoot as many as you want and go right back to your board meeting or operating room -- refreshed and reassured. Fate Catches Up! Fate catches up with some peo- ple in fantastic ways. In Mon- treal recently, a housebreaker named Donald MacDonald broke out of police custody, but in leaping over a fence to make his getaway, he landed on a-sun- basking skunk. The startled ani- mal gave him its full treatment so that he had no hope of put- ting his trackers off the scent! In Algiers, a sixteen-year-old _ Moslem was contemplating 'mis- chief with a home--made gren- ade. But just as he was about to throw it the bomb exploded in his hands and killed him. A stranger quirk of fate oc- curred at Navangi village in Andhara, India, when at' the lo- cal Festival of Bulls an ambi- tious stock-owner tried to steal ISSUE 44 -- 1939 the show, Normally, this is a quietly im- pressive festival with the bulls decked out in ceremonial trap- pings, according to long-observed ritual. Then; as the drums beat, peo- ple shower flowers and tributes on the scented beasts as théy parade through the streets and pass under a triumphal archway. But the head of the village "Patels" (record keepers) broke with precedence and had his bulls driven first under the arch- way. This enraged the village "Deshmukhs," .the former own- ers of its lands, for such a right belonged traditionally to their bulls alone. Immediately, the "Deshmukh" men cut loose and, maddened by this insult to their honour, struck down and killed three Patel henchmen, Now, sixteen of those responsible for the killings are to die.

Ourselves 1 elsewhére on this page an "hear as well --in Chessington, Hints For The | Hard Of Hearing | RA ARE It is strange how loath we are to admit to any deafness. Den- tures and spectacles are accepted ° "but when it comes to a hearing ~ald it is a very different mattér and we seem to prefer to go om "pretending." More's the pity! You see, impaired hearing, be- "sides being a general strain, can produce; various emotional and psychological disturbance' such as moodiness, depression, lack of self-confidence and even: handi- capping mannerisms. So' do not be afraid to admit you cannot as you. did and have a talk with your doctor abdut it. He will examine your ears and may find you have a great deal of wax forming a kind of plug. This can easily be softened and removed with a syringe by doc- tor. Do not try to do anything yourself, the ear is so precious and so delicately made.that any poking or probing must be avoided lest permanent damage be done. If there is not an excess of wax (a certain amount is nor- mal) 'thén ask doctor to recom- mend a specialist, Meanwhile if your hearing is failing you. will need to use a little extra concentration and to watch the lips of the person talk- ing, Many deaf people become expert at lip reading. One might almost say it is pos- sible to become slightly deat through sheer inattention. You become so engrossed in your thoughts (possibly as to whe- ther you are getting deaf or not!) that you fail to listen to what is said. One type of deafness can now be relieved by the "window".. operation. This, "window" is normally situated right inside the ear and conducts sound from outside to inside, In some peo- ple a hardness forms and: deat- ness results, The operation to correct 'this is called fenestra- tion (fenétr is Franch for win- dow), and results are often ex- tremely satisfactory. a, KNIGHT LIFE -- Aspiring beyond merely looking at a king, this cat has his eye on knighthood England. He found a perch in an old suit of armour. TTT He Was Really Honest Ahe No wonder they called him "Honest Abe." A hitherto un- known Lincoln letter, recentiv acquired by a Chicago collector, gives new proof of this charac- teristic. On April 5, 1861, a month af. HY became President, a notification was prepared for the stcretary of the treasury requesting that a warrant be sent to Lincoln on that day, and on the first of each succeeding month, "for the amount of his salary due. This had been pre- pared by a White House clerk, and was laid beforé Lincoln' for his signature. Lincoln, recalling that he had | taken office on March 4, felt that his salary should begin on the day after that rather. than on March 1, He therefore cross- ed out "first? and. substituted "fifth." His first "check thus came to. $2,083.33, based on 'the presidential salary of $25,000 a year, -E. B. Long, reséarch direc- tor of Doubleday's "Centerinial History of the Civil War," cal- culated that _but for Lincoln's correctioh of the notice, "he would have received $273.79 more, . The letter will go on display' in Freedom Hall, ah Oak Park, 111, museum for the exhibition of historic documents, It is a leasant reminder that Lincoln's onesty was actual rather than merely legendary. = Rockford (11) Morning Star, AIR MAIL § STAMPS OF HISTORY -- Here are three commemorative stamps stal department, They mark the Pan.

FARM FRONT hay - Canadian potato growers are currently harvesting a crop set by an August forecast at 33,- 839,000 cwt. And at the same time, the industry faces handling and storage problems, LJ] LJ] . Primary objectives in the storage of potatoes, says N. M. Parks, Canada Department of Agriculture, are to prolong their edible condition and reduce loss during the holding period. Chief shrinkage in storage results from moisture losses and decay. + ee Storage, particularly control- .led sforage, makes it possible to hold all or part of the crop through winter and spring--en- 'abling the grower to dispose of his potatoes as the requirements of the market demand. Thus, he can avoid marketing at a time of over supply and low prices. Successful storage of potatoes hinges on temperature, humid- ity, circulation of air, exclusion of light and'the soundness of the tubers. They should be mature, free from severe bruises and any apparent disease, dry, and free from excess soll. LJ [J ] When filled, the storage's temperature should be held at 65 to 70 degrees F. for two weeks, allowing any cuts .or bruises to heal. 'Following pre- liminary curing, temperatures in storages holding potatoes for table use should be lowered to 40 degrees. Below 40 degrees causes a reversion of the starch in potatoes to sugars, and this results in sogginess, a dark col- or after cooling, and a sweet taste. . . . Potatoes for the manufacture of chips or other processed products should never be stored at a temperature below 45 de- grees, Storage at low temper- atures makes potatoes unfit for processing. Potatoes for seed purposes should be stored at a temper- ature of 35 to 38 degrees. * * v High humidity is needed in storages to reduce shrinkage to a minimum, and a relative hu- midity of 85 per cent is recom- mended. This is high enough to retard shrinkage and low enough to prevent formation of free moisture on the surface of the tubers, the storage céiling and walls. Because a potato is living tis- sue and breathes, a good supply of pure circulating air is impor- tant in maintaining high quality. To prevent bruising and cracking potatoes when taking them out of storage, the tem. perature should be raised to 50 degrdes one week in advance. LJ * * Is Canada eating her way out of overproduction problems: in an impetuous turkey industry? Marketings through registered stations from the first of the year to September 5 set a record- making pace, exceeding last year by 15.8 million pounds to reach an all-time high of 36.6 million pounds, And, says E. D. Bonnyman, Canada Department of Agricul- ture. thé turkey must have been occupying a prominent spot on household menus. . LJ * © Canada went into 1959 with 18.3 million pounds of turkeys in storage stocks. he points out. and by September 1 the stocks had béen reduced to 6.4 mil- lion pounds--a disappearance of 12 million pounds. In compari- son. stocks were reduced by 7.1 million pounds during the same -period Jast year. © Thus, the total disappearance of turkeys since January 1 was 48.5 million pounds --- an in- crease 'of 20 million pounds over the same period in 1958, When a man: well known for his conviviality - suddenly gave up drinking; a friend asked him: 'Whatever induced you to take the pledge?" "The man replied grimly. "A little while ago my motheér-in- law came for a visit -- and I saw three of her." Woodsmoke On A ~ Cool Morning The shift of the wind, and came that fallish morning when the fire felt good. I mean, natur- ally, a fire, The papers started their weather stories with: "Ther- mostats were set up . . ." But not here, We touched oft the kit- chen range with some rock maple, and the cautious stag in the fringe of our wilderness could have spiffed and lament- ed the intrusion of man. I guess there isn't anything like the lingering aroma of woodsmoke on a cool, airless morning in the country. And you don't get it by turning up a thermostat. We have some old-time vaca- tion spots here in Maine where a wood fire is basic in the deal, one of the principal attractions. In the winter a crew puts up cordwood in a great shed with overhanging roof. Hundreds of cords, sometimes. They use chain saws nowadays, and tractors and clever splitting machines. And when the season opens and the rusticator is due, they hire a chore boy whose duties include keeping the woodboxes filled in the camps, Each camp has either a fire- place or a Franklin stove -- Ben- jamin Franklin really did invent the stove. And on hot summer days you could roast a goose on any stump in the sun, these per- diem guests have their cozy little blazes. Each morning before they awake the chore boy sneaks {n and touches off a bonfire, so they can rouse to a cheery crackle. This is it! .The fire belongs rightfully somewhere in man's bringing up, and while he is a great hand for conveniences and progress, he lkies to squat by a pristine bed of coals and make, somehow, like an aborigine back in the wilds. All summer long. beguiled in his own beguilement, he squats and renews himself and burns wood at a great rate, and he needs a fire the same way he needs a battle-ax. The ranges in the kitchen where his vacation food is cooked were converted to propane long ago, and the cham- bermaids live in oil-heated splen- dor. But he is gloriously happy with his wood smoke and embers, and by fall the great over- hanging shed is empty. It is in- teresting. As for us, our uses are not so fanciful. We have a gas range too, and oil heat -- but we also have a wood range hooked up and ready to go, and it is always a fine day when the wind shifts and the air is off the mountains ARIEL EF SAL BENE A NTRS rr 2s i] Ll: and summer is over and a fire feels good. |___It is a fact that a wood fire is | "different." It has some way of its own to combust and be con- genial, It does something to a room which no other kind of heat can do, I don't' mean the snap and crackle, or the visual values of aw open hearth, I mean the cozy, friendly, attractive quality of the feel. Finset of all, the smoke from ° the chimney has a flavor that 'gladdens the country-side. It might be that old-country peat, as I gathered from reading, has something of the same usefulness in indicating a home--something you perceive and relish as you come through the gap and start across the field. It suggests cook- ing, and the intimacies of a kit- chen, Something settled and per- manent, old and good. You never get that from a thermostat. I think this sort of thing might be sold best on the toast pitch, Everybody has all sorts of argu- ments against a dirty, ash-mak- ing old-fashioned chauffage, but when it comes to toast the argu- ments subside; On this first morning of fall, when there may even have been a white frost, you can get here the best toast you've had all summer, It takes: a little while for the top of the stove to heat up -- longer than an electric toaster-- but when it is ready you just lay a slice of bread on. You spot ft according to the heat you've built up -- front or back. Turn it once. Anoint it with butter, and proceed. The smells of breakfast are proverbially won- derful, but only on a wood fire with a hot stove top can you manufacture this kind of toast, and the delicious projection it makes throughout the house tops everything. Sitting there with a dollop of currant jelly to finish making the morning sublime, you reflect on what progress has done to toast. Each year in our memory somebody has come out with something to improve the toast business, and everything has been retrogressive. They have one superior device now that has a clock in it, and you can waken to melodious strains from your favorite radio station with the scent of morning toast already rampant. The toaster brings you the news and weather report, and brolls betimes. Then there was great excite- ment about the pop-up kind. 1 remember one with side doors that tipped down, and usually tipped the spoon from the sugar bowl and sweetened the fried eggs. But, in all the search for new ways to make toast, none of them has ever made toast a tenth as good as a slice tossed on top of a wood range. Sure, times have changed, and we go along with the crowd. The wood stove is also best for baking beans, and on bean day it gets dawn-to-dusk treatment. But right now, with the house coolish in the morning, we let the fire go down after we've had our toast, and the days are still warm enough so we hava no need of the furnace. Later, when we set our thermostat up, too, we'll probably not touch off the wood stove so much. Even in the real chill of winter we don't use it so much. But right now-- yes, and the toast is wonderful. By John Gould in The Christian Science Monitor. "When I was a baby I was left an orphan." "What did you do with it?" FA ON A By Rev R. B. Warren, BAA, B.D, Supreme Allegiance to God (Temperance Lesson) Acts 5:27-42 « Memory Selection: We ought to obey God rather than mem. Acts 5:29. The apostles, after Pentecost, were no cowards, They had re- celved a commjssion from Jesus Christ: to spread His gospel Neither threats nor beatings could deter them. They rejoiced that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name. They were on God's side. He worked miracles in their behalf, even to sending an angel to open the prison doors, Some commendation is due to the noted Jewish teacher Gama- liel, for his stand in restraining the rulers from more bitter per- secution. But such a 'wait and see' attitude is not becoming to a Christian, It isn't enough to be tolerant. We must be obsess- ed with the passion to tell the world about Jesus. Only Spirit- tilled men and women can be effective in overcoming the in- difference and lethargy of this materialistic, pleasure - crazed age. We must be at it with all our might In the power of the Spirit. R. G. LeTourneau's little pa- per, 'Now,' tells of a man In Okemah, Oklahoma, who wish- ing to visit a town in Texas, wrote ahead to the proprietog of a motel for reservation, and asked if he could bring his dog. He received the following re- ply: "We have never had a dog fall asleep in bed smoking, and- burn our bedding up. We have never had a dog spill alcoholle drinks all over the furniture and ruin {t. We have never caught a dog leaving the premises with a bath towel, or plllow case belonging to us. Sure, your dog is welcome." The repeated sniping at our Prime Minister because he chooses not to serve alcoholle beverages at private and gov- rament parties, spn un oéming In view of the fact tha alcohol is involved in over hal of the traffic fatalities. Its cone tribution also to divorce, illegi- timate births, welfare problems, absenteeism and sickness is well known. If our Prime Minister wishes to be sober in making his weighty decisions and en- courage others to do so, we should thank God for it. Un- fortunately, too few are follow- ing his example. We continue to reap the disastrous harvest of a nation becoming increasingly addicted to alcohol and the brewers continue to make their millions.
