Famous Lightning Infantry Division Reunion And Festival Begin Next Friday At Fort DixPresident M. Martin Turpanjian Of New Jersey League Of Weekly Newspapers Inc. Tells Governor Meyner At Press Conference For Editors That Only Mayor John J. Grogan Of Hoboken Could Defeat Congressman Kean For U. S. Senate If Harrison “ Pete” Williams Is Asked To Withdraw As Nominee As Soon As Possible

At the press conference for weekly newspaper editors in the office of Governor Robert B. Meyner at state house, Trenton, last Friday aft­ernoon, President M. Martin Turpanjian of The New Jersey League of Weekly Newspapers, Inc. told the chief executive of New Jersey that only Democratic Mayor John J. Grogan, of Hobokjzh, could de­feat Republican Congressman Robert W . Kean for U.S. Senator in November if Harrison 'Pete' Williams of Westfield is asked by the Governor to withdraw as Democratic nominee and let Mayor Grogan run in his place. The statement was presented to the Governor in the following manner: "Governor, a survey shows that only Mayor John J. Grogan, of Hoboken could defeat Congressman Robert W . Kean, Republican, for U.S. Senator in November if Harrison 'Pete’ Williams is asked by you to withdraw in favor of Mayor Grogan who is the big­gest and best vote-getter in Hudson County barring none. It has also come to my attention that nearly all the friends and followers of May­or Grogan plan to vote for Kean and it reminds me to point out the fact that you were elected by more Republicans than Democrats for the first time and also for the second time and that nearly all the friends and followers of Senator Forbes voted for you more than four years ago after Forbes was knifed by GOP machine Republican leaders. Do you wish to make any comment on this matter?”

The chief executive felt rather angry for such a suggestion being offered to him and said: "There are many and many other vote-getters also in New Jersey,” and that's all 'he said and didn’t like to see any change made now.

President Turpanjian, who is also the editor of this newspaper then told the Governor that the Blue Goss rate is rapidly increasing and it appears that socialized medicine may be the answer and wanted to know if such a program could be adopted in the State o f New Jersey by ref- erandum. The Governor made a lengthy statement in reply to this all- important question and mentioned both sides of the story and took the middle of the road course most diplomatically.

President Turpanjian then threw a bombshell at the press confer­ence by saying: "Governor, I hope you may not feel offended for what I am about to say but first of all I want everyone here to know that New Jersey has never had a better governor than yourself since the days of W O O D RO W W ILSO N ; you are a good lawyer and a very good speaker and answer so many complex questions without the benefit of "parliamentarians or ghost writers” for no one knows better than my-

, self and all the members of the weekly newspaper craft who attend your press conference for weekly editors from time to time we all know that you are extremely competent in every respect and you have proven to be very fair-minded at times and yet it amazed me and has shocked thousands of others who read in the daily newspapers two weeks ago by an Associated Press dispatch that Ralph Coghlan is your speech-writer and that he writes all your speeches and then mention was made chat Coghlan had won four Pulizer prizes for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and especially one directly due to his crusade as chief editorial writer and Mr.. Coghlan then makes the statement that just be­cause the owners of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch decided to endorse Gov­ernor Thomas Dewey of New York for the Republican Presidency of the United States and Mr. Coghlan had insisted or demanded that Har­ry S. Truman be endorsed and because his command or order was not obeyed he, Mr. Coghlan Walked away from the editorial office of St. Louis Post-Dispatch. You have perfect right to assign your clerks or press secretaries to prepare agendas and speeches for you based on your dictation and they are expected to make the necessary research and try to polish up a bit here and there and that does not mean you are un­able to write your own speeches. Assuming that Mr. Ralph Coghlan has written speeches for you, Governor, is it in good taste for him ro broadcast such a matter to the whole world ? His rash attitute is a direct slap to your face or insult to intelligence because he is trying to make people believe as if you are so ignorant that he is putting words in your mouth. That is not so for we know you from the ground floor and I personally resent the attitude of Ralph Coghlan and if he is a Pulizer

If Metropolitan Racing Association Is Given Permit To Conduct Harness Race Meeting In Town Of Secaucus It May Mean $12,000,000 Additional Revenue To State Treasury And Nearly 1,000 Jobs To The Twelve Municipalities Of Hudson County

Mayor HARRY TH OUROT

All roads will lead to Fort Dix on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of next week, September 5, 6 and 7 When the 39th -annual reunion of the buddies of World War 1 and World W ar 2 of the world- famous "Lightning” 78th Infantry

The New Jersey Racing Association headed by Commissioner Tho­mas J. Brogan, well-known banker and New Jersey’s largest dealer in Cadillacs and Oldsmobiles of Ridgewood, Paterson, Clifton and Passaic, will conduct a public hearing on Friday, September 12, 1958 at 11 o’clock in the Assembly Chamber, on second floor, of Hudson County Court House, Jersey City, to approve or disapprove the application made by “Metropolitan Racing Association, Inc. headed by James J. Colt, of Deal, Monmouth County, New Jersey, to conduct harness race meeting in the Town of Secaucus, Hudson County.

If such a project is sanctioned, it may mean at least $12,000,000 additional revenue to the state treasury every year and nearly 1,000 jobs will be given to residents of Hudson County, according to a special survey conducted by the research department of New Jersey League of Weekly Newspapers, Inc. of which M. Martin Turpanjian is presi­dent and managing director for the Research Bureau. Mr. Turpanjian is also editor o f his newspaper. It would also mean that the bonded indebtedness of Secaucus will be wiped out completely within a very short period of time due to anticipated heavy taxes to be collected from a gigantic building and grounds which would be fully developed in due time. And the Hudson County Board of Chosen Freeholders will collect a greater amount of county taxes from the Town of Secaucus due to the anticipated increased revenues from Secaucus.

The way things are now, New Jerseyans are expending millions of dollars in New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware but the situation will be reversed when the Town of Secaucus becomes the scene o f harness race tracks by authority of New Jersey Racing Commission and the millions of dollars now being dumped into three adjoining states will be kept in New Jersey and besides New Yorkers and other resi­dents of several states will spend millions of dollars in Secaucus. That would also mean Che business in all parts of Hudson County will be bumming and our State treasury will be enriched by at least $12,000,- 000 every single year and the town of Secaucus will soon become the wealthiest municipality of its size in New Jersey and the County Gov­ernment’s treasury will collect more revenues from the increased taxes of Secaums.

People in many walks of life are whole-heartedly in favor of the proposed enterprise in Secaucus. Men and women of great prominence are expeted to appear before New Jersey Racing Commission and give their whole-hearted approval for such a project.

Th decision rests with the members of the New Jersey Racing Commission headed by Commissioner Thomas J. Brogan, no relation to the former Chief Justice of Supreme Court although their names are same. And they ard very good friends, according to racing commis­sioner who told Editor Turpanjian on many occasions in the past.

QUESTION FOR LABOR DAYM®w L@M®-will %s I

WALK it. WE MUD

From The Wildwood Independ­ent Record, Wildwood, N. J.s When the word “ chicken” is used it might mean to some people the product of that popular feath­ered producer, the egg.

But to others it is a frightful word. It has come to be distorted to mean lack of courage; lack of ability: lack of daring.

The use of the word chicken in that sense is a tragic distortion among the unthinking youth, and even some adults.

Those who taunt others with the word "chicken” are usually, without exception, the morons of the group, the loud mouths, the braggerts. the wise guys, who goad others into situations that they avoid themselves.

Only a sucker falls for that trap, the bait of showing some half wit that he is not a “ chicken.” The youngster with guts and brains stands out in any crowd, because he is the one who laughs loud and clear at the mouthy braggerts who cry "chicken.” The user of the term “ chicken" ends up digging a ditch and the user of his brains looks down from the top and laughs.

Junction, Vt.: Democracy offers its citizens one important thing— choice. They have a choice of laws, a choice of candidates, a choice between parties. But so long as voters can choose among individuals to run for any office, is it essential that there also be two parties?

And of course the only possible answer, in a democracy, is “ yes.” Because wherever one party runs a government of whatever size, and has things all its own way, it will eventually deteriorate no matter how good its intentions. But if there is another party, or several others, they serve to keep each other on their toes. Two par­ties “ keep each other honest.” When a party is aware that if it doesn’t run things to the public’s satisfaction, not only a few indi­viduals but the entire party can be swept out of office, it’s going to be a lot more conscientious about its work.

That isn’ t criticism. It’ s human nature. That’s why in the days of past history even the best kings sometimes did some pretty terri­ble things. Absolute power isn’t good for people—it encourages laziness in the best of them, vi­ciousness in the worst.

Twenty-one or Blackjack is often called “ the old Army Game.” It won this famous title during World War 1 when it was the most popu­lar card game among the dough­boys on the Western Front in Fi'ance and Flanders.

BY LYN CONNELLY'T 'H E R E is a new so-called “ star”

in the recording field these days who calls herself Kathy lin ­den . . . We don’t know why Miss Linden feels she must step to suc­cess on someone else’s hard work, but she certainly has availed her­self of the talent and material heard a generation ago, that of cute, wee Bonnie Baker . . . Prob­ably because she has no talent of her own, Miss Linden has pro­ceeded to record all Miss Baker’s great hits of the late thirties and early forties . . . It started innocu­ously enough with a rehash of Miss Baker’s least best seller, “ Billy.”

The kids of this era gobbled It up just as the teens back in the forties did . . . However, Miss Baker was the original, not just a tired carbon copy of the real Me Coy . . . Once “ Billy” clicked, Kathy went hog wild, grabbing off such Baker hits as “ You’d Be Stir- prised” and now, “ Oh, Johnny, Oh” . . . It’ s bad enough that Miss Linden usurped the material, but it’s outrageous that she has copied the voice and the gimmicks even to the cute little “ oh-oh” Bonnie Baker did at the end of “ Oh. Johnny.”

It’s in utter bad taste because Bonnie is still in the business and still relies on her old-timers to bring nostalgic memories to her audiences . . . If anyone were to see her on TV now. however, she would probably be accused of try­ing to ape Kathy Linden . . . While Jerry Lewis did some A1 Jolson numbers, in the Jolson style, at least the originator was deceased and not dependent cn his singing to making a living . . . Lewis would never have done It with Jolson alive and retired, let alone alive and active.

It beats us why a recording com­pany would allow such shenani­gans and if they are so greedy in making a greenback, then it’s sur­prising that the disk jockeys go along with the gag.

ALTHOUGH the rising cost of living (it is estimated that it

takes over $2 to buy the goods $1 purchased in the ’30’s) con­tinues to make heavy demands on the consumer dollar, American families have put 3.9 per cent of after-tax income into life insur­ance, a slightly higher percent­age than the year before.

Life insurance ownership per family rose to $8,300 in 1957, a gain of 9 per cent in the year and a 57 per cent rise in five years. The current average per family was reported as being equivalent to about 18 months of current disposable income.These figures, based on life in­

surance owned with the legal re­serve companies, are reported in the 1958 Life Insurance Fact Book prepared by the Institute of Life Insurance.

Altogether, life insurance issued by the companies covered 109,- 000,000 Americans for over $458,- 000,000,000 of protection at the start of this year. Additional life insurance in force with fraternal and assessment organizations, sav­ings banks and U. S. Government veterans’ life insurance brought total U. S. family ownership to over a half trillion dollars on 121, 000,000 Americans at the start of 1958.

Although there was a level­ing off in business activity,

American families continued to add to their future financial security by purchasing in the past year a record $67,000,000- 000 of life insurance from the nation’s life insurance com­panies. The now purchases were one-fifth larger than the record established the previous yeai.Reasons for the greatest buying

year in life insurance history are said to include the development of several new policy plans and improved merchandising methods. Particularly cited is the family- plan policy covering all family members under the same con­tract, which accounted for one- fifth of the 1957 purchases of or­dinary insurance. This was ac­complished in the family policy’s first full year of general avail­ability.

The payment of benefits under life insurance policies continued at a record pace in 1957, with $6,700,000,000 bring aid to Am erican fam ilies through their life insurance and annuity programs. Nearly 60 per cent of this total repre­sented “ living” benefits to pol­icyholders.At the end of the 1957 there

were more than 266,000,000 life insurance and group insurance certificates assuring future family protection.

RIVER FIGHTING MANBy John Evan Jones

T ' HE radio announcer’s voice -*• was grim; “ Volunteers have

been up all night plugging up the weakened banks with sandbags. The river is still rising rapidly and residents of the lower valley are urged to leave their homes until the present danger has passed!”

Then followed a call for more volunteers and a list of the dan­ger points.

Matthew Grant grabbed his car keys off the table and told his wife of two weeks, “ We’ve got to get out of here!”

“ No,” she said firmly.“ No?” He looked at her as

though she was mentally unbal­anced. “ Look, I didn’t like the idea of living in your folks’ old house in the first place. Every year the Mississippi floods. Every year people say they will leave forever, but they always come back. I’m not that crazy!”

She knew he meant it. She also knew already the futility of argu­ing with her Yankee husband. Si­lently they climbed into the car. The rain was coming down in a steady torrent and small rivers washed across the road. They reached the river bridge. Matt slowed the car to a crawl. They were on the edge of the bridge when Jo screamed. Matt’s breath hissed through his teeth and he slammed the gears into reverse.

The wheels spun in the mud, then gripped and the car skidded back on to the road as the bridge supports creaked, broke and the center of the bridge collapsed in­to the swollen torrent.

Matt spun the car around and they headed back to the house. The water on the road was creep­ing up the wheels. He hit a hole too fast, water sloshed over the hood and the motor choked and died.

Jo grabbed his arm. “ We’ve got to get to the house!” They slid out of the car into water over their

shoe tops.In the old house Matt took off

his raincoat but Jo made no at-' tempt to remove hers. “Where are you goin?” Matt said In sur­prise.

“ Down to the levee,” she said quietly. “ They’ll need someone to prepare food and coffee for the men.”

“ We’ve had one narrow escape a lrea d y !” Matt said angrily, “ Why tempt fate?”

She shrugged. “ My family have always gone,” she said, and opened the door into the slashing rain.

There were about 30 people at Brown’s Levee. They were filling sandbags and stacking them on the river bank. One big brawny fellow was shouting orders. He thrust a sandbag so hard at Matt that he staggered.

A man came by on horseback “ Big Ned!” he shouted against the wind, "The river’ s still rising. Make more dike!” Big Ned snarled at his crew. “ If you want to see your homes again, make more dike!”

After the sun went down the floodlights went on. After an in­terminable night the sun came up again. Matt had been numb for hours. He stacked bags as though he was in a dream. After another eternity the horseman was back again. He was grinning from ear to ear. “ She’s going down,” he laughed, “ We’ve licked it again!”

“ Hey, J o !” a familiar hoarse voice hailed. They turned around. It was Big Ned. “ You’ve got a bom river-fighter there, gal.”

As they climbed into the old wagon that was waiting to take the tired workers home, Jo said, “ I’ll start packing in the morning. You were right, it would be fool­ish to live here.”

“ Leave!” Matt exploded. “Not on your life! We’ve licked this river and we’ll lick it again! Be­sides that,” he added smugly, “ I’m a bora river fighter.”

FOR AND ABOUT TEENAGERS By C. D. Smith

Treat Your Teenager As An Individual

“WHY DONT YOU BE

L IK Et h a t ?

T V A“ Why don’ t you be like that?”How often do parents make this

foolish rem ark to their teenage children as they point to some other teenager who has done some­thing to m erit a bit of public at­tention?

This is the type of remark that goes much better unsaid. The average teen­ager has little ambition to be "like" anyone in his own age group. He may

have an idol, or someone that he de­sires to emulate, but it is always some­one older than himself.

And, too, being “ like” somebody is not an easy task. The teenager is an individual—much m ore an in­dividual in many instances than grownups who fa ll right in line — and, further, the teenager wants to feel that he is an individual per­sonality

Some teenagers have talent a’plenty and know how to make the most of it. Others have talent that must be de­veloped and, rather than criticism, they need help and understanding from their parents if this development is to be rich and full.

When some parents say, “Why don’ t you be like that?” —they ac­tually mean, “ Why don't you par­ticipate in the same type of things.I believe you could do well, too.” But, to the teenager, the inter­pretation is different. To him, the i question is a rebuke or an indica­tion that he is a "fa ilu re” so early in his young life. ,,

It is not in the nature of some teenagers to just “ wade through” from one accomplishment to an­other. Y et all of them like to be a part of some activity and to share in any success. Suggestions and guidance w ill help them. Criticism and comparison with others only j makes them feel resentful. And, I are we grownups much too dif- 1 ferent?

I f you have a teenage problem yon want to discuss, or an observation to make, address your letter to FO R AND ■ ABOUT TE E N A G E R S , N A T IO N A L W E E K L Y N E W S P A P E R SE R V IC E , j F R A N K F O R T , K *

Three Boro Adults Are Taught Life-Saving Class Instructions

Three adults are among the 28 members of the Senior Life-Sav­ing class which will have its last week of instruction this week. They are Mrs. Edward Vaivoda, Ed Hey- zer and Robert Hansen.

In the junior life-saving class, which has finished its three week course, 45 participated.

In the four sessions held between June 30 and Aug. 22, 809 young­sters registered for swimming les­sons in beginners, intermediates and swimmers classes. Free use of the pools was given to these young­sters, and the Ramapo Valley Chapter o f the American Red Cross supplied the instructors.

The large enrollment indicates Waldwick is well on the way to b e c o m i n g "waterproofed", a spokesman noted. ’In one of its booklets, the Red Cross noted its effort to "waterproof America” by teaching Johnny how to swim. Last year in Waldwick, 562 registered for lessons, with 26 in life-saving classes.

Instructors for the various class­es this year were three of the life­guards, Richard Bayer, Martha Rossister and Jean Wallner.

How much ofyour first paycheckwill you keep?

The Payroll Savings Plan is the one sure way to hold onto some o f it!

The commencement exercises are over. The diploma you worked four years to get is yours. And the world is

waiting!So now you’re on your first job. Bet you’ve got plans,

too! There’ s a certain kind o f car you’ve had your eye on all through school. Or, perhaps there’ s a certain gid. In either case, you’ll need a good chunk o f money!

And although jobs are plentiful and wages are high, a starting salary is still just th a t-a starting salary. You have to figure some way to save for those plans o f yours!

There is a wonderful way offered to you by your Government. It’ s the Payroll Savings Plan. Here’s how

it works.You simply sign the authorization card in your pay

toll office. Sign up for as litde or as much as you like.

Each pay period the amount you’ve named is set aside in your account. When you’ve accumulated enough, a Savings Bond is purchased in your name and given to you. And those Bonds start to add up to real money &st because, not only are you purchasing them regularly, but the United States Savings Bonds you already own trg earning interest for you.

Now Savings Bonds are better than ever!Every Series E Savings Bond purchased since February 1, 1057, pays 3V49& interest when held to maturity. It paya higher interest, too, in the earlier years, and matures » only 8 years and 11 months. Now, more than ever, it’s ■mart to save with guaranteed-safe U. S. Savings Bonds, Buy them regularly where you bank or through the Payroll Savings Plan where you work.

Pan o f every American’s savings belongs in U. S. Savings Bonds

AMERICANA— Cities To See

Life Is Different In San Antonio

ALAMO—Shrine of Texas Liberty.Over two and a half centuries ago, Spanish conquistadors exploring

the Southwest named the City of San Antonio, Texas, and the San Antonio River. Today, where a quiet Indian village once stood, one finds giant skyscrapers and colorful reminders of San Antonio’ s his­toric past — as well as the river itself — which make the city a "Venice” in America.

In San Antonio—the Alamo City —they say that ‘ ‘Life is Different.”Will Rogers once said of San An­tonio that it was one of four cities in the United States possessing real atmosphere. This city of 537,- 000 population has many faces. It has known the tread of marching feet since the days of earliest Spanish presidio. Here the battle cry, ‘ ‘Remember The Alamo,” was born and General Robert E.Lee decided to cast his lot with the South. General William Tecumseh Sherman served here before cast­ing his with the North.Here today is Randolph Air Force

Base, Fort Sam Houston, Fourth Army Headquarters, Brooke Army Medical Center, Kelly Air Force Base, largest depot of its kind in the world, and Lackland Air Force Base.

World-famous is the Alamo, Shrine of Texas Liberty, where in 1836 Crockett, Bowie, Travis and 180 others made the ultimate sacri­fice in the name of liberty and freedom. Annually in April, a car­nival celebrates the battle of San Jacinto.

San Antonio is traditionally a city of parks, plazas and play­grounds. The city won the “ nation­al cleanest city” contest in its category for 1952, 1953, and 1955 —and the National Grand Award in 1954. Parks and playgrounds comprise over 2,000 acres, include Brackenridge Park and Witte Mu­seum, Zoo, Chinese Sunken Gar­dens, Sunken Garden Theatre, Golf Course, Polo Field, Baseball Diamonds, Tennis Courts, Bridle Paths, Picnic Grounds, etc.

I R E M E M B E R "B Y THE OLD TIMERS

From Mrs. Geo. B. Brown, Tyn­an, Texas: I remember when we had no screens on our windows and doors and sometimes a stray dog would get into the house. My aunt refused to screen her home, claiming that screens made the house hot. My father rigged a fan over the dining table to keep the flies away while we ate. He pro­pelled this fan with his foot. Imag­ine! There was no electricty. Our neighbors used a long limb and waved it over the table to keep flies away when we ate there.

We butchered our own hogs every winter and every farm home had its smokehouse with cured meat hanging from the rafters. Often, dogs would dig under and get away with a ham or bacon.

Lard was rendered in the black iron washpot. Clothes were boiled in the washpot and soap was made with lye in the washpot.

Camp meeting time will never he forgotten. There was preach­ing, singing and shouting. Many came and camped. This was less than 55 years ago, believe it or not.

We got up early and walked a niile to school. No busses. Our first year in school, we had a slate to write on. We sat on long bench­es and big sisters or big brothers dually sat with the smaller mem­bers of their family and helped nrake them behave as one teacher had her hands full with grades from one to eight. We learned, though. Papa paid for our books and we treasured them.

REV. ROBERT H. HARPERCOFFEE BREAKS

IN THE restaurant of a large hotel in a fair-sized city, I

came to breakfast late one morn­ing and found the place filled with prosperous-looking men. When I remarked to the hostess about the great number of patrons at that hour, she told me it was the cof­fee hour.

Judging from that little experi- I ence and from other instances ' and from the papers and maga­

zines, the coffee break has become a fixed institution. It would be in­consistent for me to say anything critical of it because I am fond of coffee. Only I like it a darker roast and a stronger brew than the coffee consumed in many coffee breaks.

We may think it is more than coffee that brings men together. The coffee is only the occasion of their getting together at a certain time. They meet for fellowship and a little breathing spell. And it would be wrong to figure the time it takes and charge it off as a loss. It is morely likely that it should be credited as a gain. And if the coffee break takes the place of the getting together of men with feet on a brass rail, let us encour­age it

W h ite Death On The FarmW HITE SCOURS IS NOTORIOUS WARM CLEAN QUARTERS REDUCE

R A W EGGS ONCE USED AS PREVENTION

A N T IB IO T IC P R E V E N T S A N D D E S T R O Y S S C O U R S

White scours is the most notorious calf-killer in the '-ountry. Quick and deadly, the disease causes heavy losses in newborn stock wherever it strikes.

The infected calf is usually short-lived, suffering from fever, listless­ness, white, watery diarrhea, and ♦ -rapid breathing within hours of its birth . . . and dying soon after. Scientists believe that the disease is caused by specific kinds of bac­teria, transmitted to the calf by the dam before birth, during early feeding, or from association with infected animals.

A less serious condition, com­mon scours, shows similar symp­toms in calves of all ages, and may lead to other more dangerous diseases.

Scours May Be Prevented 1In days gone by, raw eggs were

fed to young calves and ashes were rubbed under their tails in hopes of preventing scours. Cattle grow­ers and dairymen now know that good rations for the dam before freshening, separate facilities for each calf, and warm, clean quar­ters all serve to reduce the chances of white scours.

Veterinarians recommend that calf stalls be disinfected and fur­nished with clean bedding and that the calf’s navel be disinfected as well. At the 800 acre Pfizer Ex­perimental Farm in Terre Haute, Indiana, scientists have found that the surest preventative for the deadly disease is found with anti­biotics.

Terramycin CureMost calves receiving a terra­

mycin tablet a few hours after birth were protected from the dis­ease. Nearly every animal already infected recovered when one tab­let a day was used.

Veterinarian Hellmut Kafka re­ported that on one farm where eight newborn calves had just died from white scours, fifteen infected calves recovered in * few hours after terramycin treatment.

There are a lot of sawing tasks in farm and home repair, main­tenance, and workshop projects. And it wasn’t too long ago that the home craftsman had to search through a pile of hand saws looking for the proper one to fcut in wood, metal, plastics, and bther materials.

But thanks to the research and development work on the port­able electric tool industry there

Ee portable electric jig saws day that do the job of several

different hand saws—and do il almost effortlessly on the pari of the user.

FISHERMEN? Picture this if you can: A body of water entirely

surrounded by land that boasts an estimated million catchable-sizefish.

Sure, there are plenty of such places on the face of this old earth —bnt—the one we have reference to presents a special challenge to the most expert fishermen. The body of water is California’s in­land ocean, the Salton Sea. The fish is the corvina, a close rela­tive of the white sea bass and a delicious food fish. The problem: the corvina’s refusal to respond to standard lures and methods of fishing.

The California Department of Game and Fish created the unique fishery by transplanting parent stock from the Gulf of California. The corvina are said to be re­producing in prolific fashion. But they aren’t pushing one another out of the way to take the lures being presented by enthusiastic fishermen—not yet, anyhow.

Fishermen will persist, tho as any angler will agree and this persistence is beginning to pay off for local fishermen who in re­cent weeks have been bringing a few corvina to net. Most of the fish run three to four pounds, with some eight pounders.

Some piscatorial scholar will probably discover a better way soon; but at the moment the cor­vina are being taken from shore, with surf-type rods and heavy red and white wobbly spoons about two inches long.

Somebody is certain to find a way to overcome the corvina’ s apparent indifference to fisher­men. There are too many hungry fishermen in this world to allow the fish to get away with the wrong kind of attitude

Versatile electric jig saws per­form all types of sawing tasks.

The two old standby hand sawa are, of course, the crosscut and frip models. Used to cut across the grain, the crosscut is held at a 45-degree angle and has teeth |oent alternately on each side. The rip saw, used for cutting with the wood grain, has mora chisel-shapfed 'teeth.

But with the development of lightweight new electric jig saws, the home and farm craftsman can depend on them for cross cutting, ripping, notch and scroll cutting—virtually all types of sawing in practically every kind Of material.

Some of the ’ newest portable jig saws are lightweight (a mere 4 pounds!) come with metal and wood cutting blades. Low-priced models have oilite bearings, higher priced ones have ball and freedle bearings.'(Readers are invited to send Questions about d o -it -y o u r s e l f broblems to Thor Research Cen­ter, Marengo, 111.
