“THAT LITTLE GAWIE”'i«*«. n .t-ic.rt»o»c.,ii.Y^By B. Link j In Battle With * Reckless Drivers

This week we offer a “rare-bit” cf prevarication from Maine. The big event of the year to the natives cf Pooduck, a small settlement in thdt state, is the annual rabbit hunt. This hunt, or shoot, is usually held on,'New Tear’s day as most of the towns-folk have this day off. or make plans to take it off anyhow. The object of the hunt is for each individual to 'bring back the, most wtbbits, Within a certain time, to the starting point. So sfiys G.'V. Oetchell. a Bangor, Me., Ananias. The winner is then awarded a prize, sometime* a barrel of Melntosth Bed apples or perhaps a cord of wood or something equally as valuable and useful. It was the Imnt of 11125 that this tale hangs on. Caleb Porter, better known as “Ole Cal,’ ’had always been in on these hunts but for some reason or another had never been able to snag the prize. It most always happened that one of the yot\nger bucks copped the bacon. However on January 1, 1925, “Ole Cal” showed up with a look of determination, if not of exaltation, on his face. Cal had a

plan!

No question but w : hat the idea worked ’cause he gobbled up the prize that day by the biggest margin ever. But let “Ole Cfal” tell how he done it : “It didn't seem jest right ter me ter se them thar V'oung squirt* alters runnin’ off with them nice prizes, but try as I may I never seemed able ter do ’er thing ter stop 'em, 'en then, well it cum ter me jest as quick ’es that, I knew

[ had em sure ’nuff I hed. ‘It was , all so simple it don’t hardly seem wuth th‘ telling! I drove inter Bangor jest before Christmas ’en among other things I hot ’er half dozen cans ’er fust grade snuff. When th’ day ’er the hunt cum ’round I hiked ’er off ter a part ’er th’ woods where I knew th’ rabbits wus pretty plentiful. It wus ’er rocky ’n ledgey section with lots ’er runs far th’ bunnies. “I tuk ’er can ’er thet snuff outta m’ pocket, opened ’er up en then took ’er little pinch ’n laid it on a rock, then ’noth^r pinch on ’nother rock ’n I kept ’er doin’ this ’till I’d used ’er ’hul can full. “When I w r ent back ter whar I’d started’n sure nuff there wus ’er dead rabbit, or at least near ’nuff dead so’s I cud pick' ’im up. I follened Toun whar I'd put th’ snuff n fore noon I knowed I had ’ndff rabbits then ter win but I thot I’d show th’ folks what ’er really big haul I cud make .so I kept ’er up ’till ’erbout three-thuty p .m. Then I went home ’n hitched up Milly, my roan mare, ’en druv out ’n gathered up all my dead’n haf

dead rabbits.

“I sure had some load, ’en at fust I kinder thought they want goner give me th’ prize, but after I’d ex : plained how I’d got ’em they all sez I otta have tew r prizes ’stead

er only one.

“Yer see what happened wus this. Them rabbits would go ’long ’n sniff that snuff en then sneeze, when they did their head would cum down Bang on th’ rock ’er ledge on that wus good-nite for Mr. Bunny. After that year this method wus ruled out.”

MUNCIE 'tkllSSION REPORT

In the three years since Wie organization of the Mission 139,666 'meals have been served. The report for the month of August, 1938, show’s a slipht increase over July, 1933. August Report 2,538 meals served (average 82 per day) 810 gallons of milk dispensed. 10 pieces of clothing given. 11 pairs of shoe* given. 10 people given medical attention. 4 families moved by Mission truck. 12 pieces of furniture given families. 2 families had rent paid. 3 funerals for poor preached. 14 families visited and advised. 16 jobs secured for 12 men and 4 women. 62 office conferences held. In the 11 months from October, 1932 to September, 1933, we served 31,327 meals. Of these 11,839 were to Mancie residents, and 19.988 to transient men. Our garden truck is now being harvested and canned. However, our garden truck is very short. Our potatoes completely failed. We anticipate a winter of want, yet we believe by cold weather employment will increase and lighten our burden and yocirs. Everybody is kind and helpful to the Mission in as far as they have the ability. The Police tell Us that Muncie is freer of petty theft because the Mission sees that none go hungry. We believe that true. We have a plan (if it works) to

keep beggars away from outdoors. That plan Will be made known as soon as organization is complete. If you Muncie citizens will just keep the Mission in mind none will starve. Eddie Thomas, Supt.

Public Sporting Bleed Aroused President Roosevelt Has Won Confidence and Admiration of American People The present generation has specialized in tinkering with the government since the early day’s >f' the present century when Roosevelt the first began clubbing public enemies with his “big stick.’’ But there has been no such departures in our methods of conservative government as are discovered in the “new- deal.” In the rapidly moving affairs of the present day it is plain that ahe sporting blood of the public is aroused and that the eounttry is almost unanimous in its belief in the new experiments which are being pushed by a new president. This situation is due to the fact, more than anything else, that Franklin Delano Roosevelt has w-on the confidence and admiration of the entire American peo-

This year the month of September has been dedicated to the most intensive campaign in the interest of automobile accident prevention ever carried on in this country. The governors of 34 states and the commissioners of the District of Columbia have issued proclamations and messages. More than 90,000,000 persons—74 per cent of our total population—live in their areas. Seventy-five per cent of all automobiles in I lie country are registered within them, and last year about 76 uer cent of the 29,000 deaths occurred in the participating territory. Roads Are Shambles In 1932 there was a decrease in automobile accidents and fatalities, as compared with 1931. Thisyear the trend has beep reversed, and the toil is again on the upgrade. The reckless, the discourteous and the incompetent still rule the highways. The public streets and roads are still shambles both•for persons and for 1 property. Only the individual motorist can conquer this organized destruction. There are few such things as unavoidable accidents. And it has been proven that raising the safety factors of roads and vehicles does no good—-the driver simply trusts to the engineers, and operates his car even more recklessly. During the September campaign, facts and figures detailing the havoc wreaked by excessive speeds, by violations cf right-of-way laws, by passing on curves and hills by that most common of all motoring ills, discourtesy, will be brought to our attention. And all of us should consider it both a duty and a privilege to cooperate. —oA slump is something a bail player gets in as a result of too many columns in the newspaper.

Twenty-eight years ago, when crowds were still staring in amazement at those “new-fangled contraptions” called motor carriages G. G. Gilbertson, of Ad^, Minn., journeyed to Minneapolis and bought a four-cylinder car for $1,000 called the “Queen.” 'Bhe dealer told Mr. Gilbertson it would last him a life-time. Mr. Gilbertson was then 55 years old. Now he is 83. Believing that he is entitled to some real automobile comfort in the remaining days of his life, Mr. Gilbertson has just traded in the old “Queen” for a new Chevrolet Sedan and is real happy driving it about the country. The “Queen” was made in Detroit-, it being the first venture into thefautomqbile field of the Bloomstroin Motor Co.* who were! then manufacturers of marine motors. About 10,000 of these cars were made and sold. Later several wealthy men, of whom Walter Flanders was one, bought out the Bloomstrom company and changed the name to the De Luxe Motor Car Company. Eventually the plant became a part of another company, the Queen and De Luxe cars and stock on hand being sold to a firm nationally known as a salvager of obsolete cars. Mr. Gilbertson's r4d car was the first four-cylinder automobile sold in Minnesota. In the upper picture, he is shown at the wheel. In the lower. his new Chevrolet and the old Queen show the differences in a ^quarter century of progress.

J. Klingler, vice-president ind general sales manager of the Chevrolet Motor Company, after he had read some thirty or forty i telegrams .sent him in response to a query for a brief report on up-to-the- minutes conditions from zone executives and dealers. “The most encouraging note in' he telegmms,” continued Mr. Klingler, "is the country im-> (Provement. and rising happiness.

“The concludsion is plain now that hundreds of our dealers will do a‘great deal more business this year than they did last. Some report increases of 100 per cent, others, 200 per cent, and some, even higher.
