Thursday, October 17,1940 BBCAPES WITH BROKEN ARM A3 TRAIN DEMOLISHES CAB • There aren't many people In this world who have been hit by a train and have lived to tell the tale. One of these rare creatures is Henry Hiller of Johnsburg, whose .life was saved only by f miracle last Thursday morning when the car he was driving was struck by a passenger train, the 7:15, on the Wheeler street crossing in Woodstock. He was returning to his home after working t>n the night shift at the Alemite in that city. The train crashed into the Hiller car and after the car rolled over several time?, it landed along side the tracks about 100 feet from where it was struck. Although the car was almost demolished, Hiller came out of it with only a fractured right arm. He was under observation at the Woodstock JUipital for a few days. : Ml Management Progtaife' A crop of 50 busliels of corn per •pre removes about 75 pounds of nitrogen from the soil. It takes out, also, about 21 pounds of phosphoric acid and about 41 pounds of potash. With the heavy yielding hybrid corn varieties growing in popularity among American farmers, a wellrounded program of soil management with the use of fertilizer is necessary if high production and •oil fertility are to be maintained, a farm bulletin points out.

The uncertainty as to classification and selection of registrants will continue to keep entire families in turmoil for several weeks. While the regulations permit final appeal to Washington, the bulk of the work will be handled by the local draft boards. The sword-rattling in the Far East, the President's defense speeches and Mr. Willkie's indictments of the present Administration seem minor issues for a few days at least. Interest in these affairs is expected to revive when the excitement over the draft abates. Officials who prepared the draft plans realize that the local boards will be under terrific pressures as they go 'about their tasks of sorting men for training this week. It is confidently assumed that once the people realize that deferments are obtainable only from their neighbors' serving on local boards that much of the Correspondence and appeals reaching here will be eliminated. The keynote of the Selective Service is "decentralization" ,and "community endeavor." Col. Lewis B. Hershey, in active charge of the draft, hopes "the publicity which the local boards will be required to give fo their actions and decisions will present favoritism or discrimination." As a means of blocking local influences, the orders of the day require the boards to shuffle the registration cards and the serial numbers according to their accidental sequence. The classification cannot be given until the questionnaires, which the local boards will send out within a few days, airreturned. Advisory boards will be available to assist the enrollee to fill out the reports demanded by his government. Meanwhile, the machinery has been set up here for the national lottery, which will determine the order in which the men will be called for duty. Congress has passed several bills designed to aid the draftee in the emergency including a law suspending certain debts, insuring restoration of his job and insurance while in service. The politicians are holding their breath awaiting the attitude of the men and their families to all this legislation for national defense. A skeleton Congress is going through the motions of serving the people. Unwilling to adjourn in the face of tense international affairs, the many absentees are creating a problem for their more diligent brethern. Only the charity of presiding officers prevents embarrassing the boys playing hookey. A decision of the presiding official that of "no quorum" would force the deadly roll call listing the absentees. These tell-tale roll calls usually furnish excellent political ammunition for ambitious contestants for the incumbent's seat. Many remain at their posts despite the crying need for personal appearances in closely contested election areas. They are frankly afraid to leave because gome legisation in which they are interested might be considered while they were out of town and ruin their political chances. Efforts to reach a 'gentlemen's agreement" until election have failed. Though reduced in numbers, the national legislator* is technically at work. The signing of the new excess profits tax bill now presents the Bureau of Internal Revenue with a headache. The bill is admittedly ambiguous. Even tax experts say it will produce litigation and uncertainty. Business activity continued to advance during recent weeks. Whether it will be translated into revenue for the government is something not easily determined. The restoration of men to jobs as a consequence of defense spending is expected to swell tax returns. The optimistic prediction of Sidney Hill, the.C.I.O. leader now with the Defense Commission, that all willing workers will be off the relief rolls by next summer is taken with a grain of salt. The candidates for office insist that relief will be a burden for many years. The streamlining of crime, which once was rampant in the cattle and horse raising regions of the West, is covered in a bill passed by the House recently providing for the punishment of persons transporting stolen animals in interstate commerce. In the old days the Western country had short and auick methods of dealing with this illicit activity but have been handicapped in recent vears because of the requirements of law and order. The present day lawless element resorts to the use of motor trucks and I other vehicles to accomplish what their daring predecessors usually described as "a raid on the range " It seems that eangsters now utilising trucks swoop down on farms, particularly those in the livestock country, and are out of the country before the theft is discovered. The hill nassed by the House hi* eliminated chickens as one of the items because the President vetoed a similar measure when these feathered friend* were included. It is assured thn* with ^v-ke** retr"* ved from the bill the Wh'te Honse will aoprove the ir>es*"re. Under the bill that the *he term "animal" include* hogs. *heen, horses end mules. S« the strong arm «f the enforcement officers will shortlv come intn ths ^st to nrotect the farmers from raiders la trades. -- • I* rV/' »' 5> 11 r* ' Al> " PLAIKDKALER \ v f^Sr, £ Z ' * - ; SLOCUM'S LAKE ChSNAPSHOT GUILD Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Wagner attended the wedding of Miss Lovina Frown and Mr. John Schaefer at Sta Peter's church at Yolo last Wednesday morning.

Try mirror shota-the/re fun. AN argament Is more interesting if both sides get a fair breaks and it lasts longer. The same rule applies to many snapshot subjects. Pat a mirror in the picture, to show both back and front of your subject-- and your picture will have twice as much to tell. It's no trouble to take snapshots of this type--so long as you have your subject close to the glass. Just focus for the distance from mirror to camera, use a small lens opening--and both the subject and Its reflection will be sharp. However, as the subject backs away from the glass, the reflection also backs away--in the opposite direction. In other words, it gets farther away from the camera. Therefore, to get the reflection sharp, you must do a bit of simple addition before you focus. Jusf measure the distance from camera to mirror, add the distance from subject to mirror -- and set the focusing scale for the sum of these distances. As an example: suppose the cam- / era is six feet from the mirror, and the subject two feet from the mir» ror. Then, if you want the sharpest possible picture of the reflection, set the focus at eight feet To get both reflection and subject sharp, use a very small lens open* ing and focus at the mirror,--la this case, six feet «• Before shooting a "mirror" ptfr ture, check the position of' your photo lights. These have to be to one side of the subject in most cases. Be sure that the shades are turned so that light does not shine on the camera lens, and also see that the mirror does not reflect an image of the lights Into the camera. In addition to wall mirrors, doors, and the like, try pictures of reflections in a mirror-bottomed tray or table. Tou can get some extremely good angle shots in this manner, and they add interest to your snapshot collection.
