Some folks have heads like 4loorknobs—^anybody can turn 'em.

"Mother, where do bad girls go?" Answer, "Most everywhere.-'

A few mountain men pray on Sunday in order to prey on their fellows on Monday.

How a small town in a mid-westem state raised $30,000 for a new hospital is a feature article in: a recent Sat Eve Post. The town's population is more than 2,000 with 10,000 outlying. The Post views this as something most imusual.

^ People in Margaretville and surrounding communities pride themselves in the hospital located in Margaretville which belongs to the hundreds of donors who have contributed $50 or more to make it possible. ^ ,

It is a constant source of amaze-ment " to outsiders where the money comes from. The answer is easy. It is largely given by the farmers in the hills and valleys, tradespeople in the villages, ri

J and* poor, summer guests, who have gratitude in their hearts for what the hospital has done for them or their loved ones.

. * • * . *

It is given by an old man bent over with rheumatism who had little money, but contributes three dollars. Some contributed more than their share, others contrib-uted much less than they should. A chap whose life was saved by the hospital refused a cent.

Tlie money continues to come. A chap some distance away told me his community would like a hospital but they could not afford it so he paid in Margaretville feel-ing he was a part of this institu-tion.

The hospital in Margaretville is doing an unusual job in caring for the sick and injured. And, as air ways in the long run, the folks are willing to pay for what they have.

So the money comes to the Margaretville hospital until there is a plant which cost well on

one that could a quarter

million dollars.

The shooting season is soon here and with it excitement for the small boy. A boy who has not developed a tendency to hunt and shoot by the time he is twelve

: probably never will. • * * •

No, that's not an indication of depravity only that his greatest pleasure in life will come from other sources. A boy who is fond of shooting does not handicap him-self in any other^profession.

An authority says that to lessen recklessness new shooters need education and experience. Best for a boy to get early training from his father. The "old man" won't hesitate to tell him when he is careless, when he is pointing his gun about, when he is using- it as a club and the like.

The tendency of every boy is to form a gang. When he begins to hunt the gang goes; The bigger the crowd the greater the danger anyway what lad ever wanted to go hunting with a crowd ?

It requires time to teach a boy that a gun is deadly, we seem to inherit a liking for a gun-but no instinctive care as to how to h£uidle it. Care of a gun cannot be learned in a day.

And while 1 am talking about bqys I must repeat ohe of those "definitions" of boys I heard many years ago. It went something like this:

* 4> *

"After a male baby heis grown out of long clothes and triangles and has acquired pants, freckles and so much dirt his relatives dare not kiss it between meeds, it be-comes a boy.

Figures Reveal Few Deaths In High School Football

Relative to the death of a South Kortrieht high school lad in a football A game with Meischmanns recently the following statistics from the 1945 national survey of football fatalities are interesting.

During the 1945 season three direct fatalities were reported in high schools, the smallest number during fourteen years.

The incidence of high school fatalities per 100,000 players for 1945 is .48. This means that dur-ing the year approximately one high school fatality occurred for every 200,000 players.

Again as in 1944, there is no evidence of an increase in fatal accidents to younger individuals playing high school football.

The 14-year average football rate for 100,000 players for ages 13-24 in high school is 1.48 and in college for ages 16-24 it is 2.82/ The rates for 1945 traffic fatalities for ages 15-24 in comparison is 20.9.
