Woman Keeps Secret Here's one woman who could keep a secret: Goldie Van Zandt of Point Marion, Pa., surprised her friends with the disclosure that she and Arch Comeroy were married 13 years ago, after a 17-year courtship. They started housekeeping September 8, their 13th wedding anniversary.

It's well worth it when you can get resUlts like this. niCTURE making on the farm is * something that many town and city folk are likely to overlook. But k seems to me that a trip into the eonntry, and a visit to a farm, is ft fine thing for anyone with a camera-- and a splendid way to spend • very pleasant day at this time of year. Slip a few rolls of fresh film into your pocket--some "chrome" film for outdoor snapshooting, and some fast "pan" for picture taking Indoors or when the light Isn't very strong--and you'll be all set. Take •long a medium yellow filter for your camera, and a lens shade too. Picture making on the farm is one of those things that might begin with daylight if you're up that early--though I'll bet you're not. In any event, the earlier you get started the better, because then you can make a series of pictures as the farmer milks the cows, feeds the chickens, tends to the horses, and turns the stock out to pasture.

Anderson has bought the residence of A. C. MeCroty, on the west side, and taken possession of the Same. The price paid, we believe, Was $1,800. Two special revenue inspectors, in company with Revenue Collector Bilinjfs, visited our village one day last ^eek, and created quite a commotion 'among vendors of the ardent. While passing the .store of 0>, W. .Qwen a day .or two since, we noticed eight new sewing machines being unloaded at the door. Mr. Owen keeps the best machines to be found in- the market, and is selling them at a rapid rate. The work on the new brick, yard has fairly commenced, and men and teams are getting everything ready for the machines, which are expected to arrive this week. Working step by step--or picture by picture--in that fashion is an excellent %ay to approach any photographic subject, particularly one as big as a farm, because it kelps you from missing snapshot opportunities. And If you're looking for just a few good pictures, perhaps to enter in a photographic contest or salon, it gives you many negatives from which to choose. But getting back to the pieturq possibilities on a farm, don't tail to get some pictures of the men working in the fields--as in our illustration, for instance. Look for interesting angles as they plow or harrow the land. If you stand baci some distance you'll find that a plowman makes a perfect center of interest for a landscape. Kef»p your eyes open and you'll find action, atill-life. animal, storytelling and human interest picture* in abundance everywhere that men work in the country. * John van Guilder Twice Told Tales of hliiM> Taken et i> Flihlwkl Tun Af» YOLO PORK THAT PRODDED HESS NOW DISPLAYED IN MONTREAL, QUEBEC Montreal, Quebec -- The famous . ..... . pitchfork that once pointed at the | ended the commencement exercises at . seat of Rudolph Hess- trousers and j the Ela Township High school Friday I helped 5rin? about his capture is now evening. • iQn jn one of the windows of Mr. and Mrs. Paul kruppa of Wil- a prominent clothing store in Monmette and Mr. and Mrs. George Hardt'treal Quebec of Chicago spent Saturday at thei Th'e two-pronged fork held the No. | Mr. and Mrs. A.

AMERICANS NEED NEW CITIZENSHIP PAPERS By George Peck Repeatedly in this column we have stated that we are for organized labor; that we recognize the right of labor to bargain collectively by all ^gitimiate methods but that this be done without dictation*, coercion, domination or interference of any kind. The American worker must have the freedom to chobse for himself whether or not he wishes to become and to remain a jnember of a labor union. Labor has made great gain in recent years. It is chiefly because we! wish to see labor hold these gains! that we now sound a word of warning, j Labor must throw off the shackles of a greedy minority of its leadership which is exploiting it for the labor leaders' own selfish purposes. There is graye danger of labor alienating/ public opinion if these practices are continued. Favorable pubile opinion has enabled labor to move forward-- unfavorable public opinion would pul- 'ify those gains. ' . We do not have in n\ind, the battle between organized labor and "industryJ We are not thinking of the 40-hour week and overtime pay. We are about to speak of the battle between the 112.000,000 of the union group and the 40.000,000 American workers who do not belong to any union. . When our forefathers drew up the Declaration of Independence, they naturally assumed that "Life. Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" included the "Free Right to Work." For without this latter, the former three are impossible of attainment. Today, however, the 12,000,000 union group, through the arrogance of certain of its leaders, is asserting a new doctrine, to wit: that American citia. enship does not carry with it the Fre* Right to Work; that the remaining 40.000.000 workers, must obtain NEW citizenship papers from labor uninrt before they can exercise their first American citizenship. Under this un-American doctrine, 40,000^000 American citizens tnnnX apply and pay ftrr NEW Citizenship Papers in order to work in our war factories. The mililons of young men in our armed forces, when they return war-wounded and weary, without seniority union rights, will have to take out NEW citizenship papers before they can enjoy thr? right to live and to work--the very things for which they are offering up their lives. It is estimated that the "aggregate tax" now levied against workers by our»"sub-go\^mrftent" of labor politicians is around $1,000,000,000 a year. Under existing law. for the most part, this vast sum is spent in whatever manner the "unioners" Aee fit, for their own selfish aggrandizement, and to the disadvantage v, of all other groups of society. As one of the 40.000,000 whose citizenship paners have been nullified by this labor dictatorship, we wish to enter our vigorous protest against this* assault On the American Way. W® fervently hope that millions will add their voices to this protest. We hav$ the numerical strength -- equity and fairness on our side--we. can, if we unite, refuse to take out NEW citizenship papers and still enjoy the "iFree Right to Work" so essential to the right to "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."

C.-Giant steel "spider webs" which will be strung by barrage balloons to protect vital areas in the United States against air attacks are being developed by experiments at the nation's first barrage balloon training center and school here. The balloon barriers average 81 feet in length and 35 feet in diameter, are anchored by small steel cables, and are inflated with several thousand cubic feet of gas. They ara designed for defense not for attack. They are made of a synthetic rubberized material, neoprene. Most major item in the balloon barrage setup is the steel cable'suspended in the air by the balloons. The cable is intended to prevent enemy planes from accurately bombing a vital military objective. Under modern tactics the balloons can be moved around under urgent conditions. Some are operated from a special truck equipped with a gasoline engine and a winch to coil the balloon's cable. First tests with the balloons were made at Camp Davis June 26. The first barrage school in the array's history was graduated in September. The new branch has been put under the coast artillery corps. The entire unit will probably be moved to a permanent home * at Camp Tyson, near Paris, Teiui. • * IVltai Ifou Buty lifUU UAH 11UJVDS • • The Aerial Carr.era for use on Scout and Observation and Reconnaisance planes is essential to both the Army and Navy air forces in njanning battle formations and in obtaining information on enemy fortifications and movements.

Trtatnry Dtfrimtni Famous Silversmith Family The Richardson family of Philadelphia silversmiths was active for a century and a quarter, beginning with Francis Richardson (1681- 1729); his son, Joseph Sr. (1711- 1784), and ending with is two grandsons, Joseph Jr. (1752-1831) and Nathaniel (1754-1827). Joseph Richardson Sr. tfas a Quaker and like all members of that sect he was a great lover of peace, writes Raymond A. Dego in "American Collector." To aid in cementing -friendship between the colonies and the "Indians the Quakers formed the Friendly Society for Propagating Peace with the Indians by Pacific Measures. To further this purpose, in 1757, they had silver medals made which were presented to friendly Indians. The die from which these medals were made was designed by Edward Duffield, famous Philadelphia clockmaker (1720-1801). Uses of Silver Silver has been prized as a precious^ metal and used for persons] adornment ever 5.nc# the Bronie age; in fact, around the eastern Mediterranean, where deposits of native silver were scarcer than deposits of native gold or the natural gold-silver alloy known as electrum, silver was more precious than gold. The large deposits of native silver in Spain were discovered about 1300 B. C„ and in the next 300 years they were thoroughly exploited and tive metal was distributed throughout the Mediterranean area by the Phoenicians, who, according to *radition, used silver anchors. Silver has been used money since at least 1500 B. C., and for coins as long as coinage h*is been known, writes Frank T. Sisco in "Mining and Metallurgy," Bimetalism has been practiced at le^st 3,000 years. Own Doctor Animals, by jistinct, knew the value of vitamins long before man. Animals can be their own doctors, but only if allowed to roam the fields, forest or jungles to get the medicine they need. In some zoos, when an animal gets sick he is given a supply of the plants and edibles of hi| native land, and in these he finds the needed medicine and cures himself.
