AMATEUR radio operators save miner

Doctor's Advice Relayed to Snowbound Camp, 111 Man's Life Is Saved Preston Foster and Carole Lombard to Appear Before Miscrophone Tonight on Dick Powell’s Hour; William Green to Be Interviewed. BY RALPH NORMAN SHORT wave radio enthusiasts should take pride in a story that comes from Crete. Neb., telling now the efforts of two amateur operators saved the life of an isolated miner high in the Colorado / Rockies. The Clare L. mine had been snowbound for weeks. Members of the usually self-reliant camp became worried when the foreman complained of an aiiing ear that refused to respond to ordinary treatment. To get him to a hospital was impossible. The mine president turned to his only means of outside contact, his amateur short wave station, W9DOA, and was able to contact another amateur, E. R. Wrightman,

physics professor at Doane College. Prof. Wrightman for an hour copied down information about the miner's condition, then placed the information in the hands of a doctor. “That man must be brought out to a hospital. There is danger of a mastoid complication,’’ the doctor stated. The impossibility of such a trip w'as explained. So the doctor wrote out directions for treatment, and for the greater part of two days Mr. Wrightman was busy tapping out advice and directions. In three days the patient was noticeably better, and in 10 days he was nearly well. This is only one of many incidents during a storm-ridden winter in which amateur radio operators have played a humanitarian role without fail, and without compensation. a a a LISTENING in on a few programs—a 78-vear-old author, Thomas Broadhurst, is to give CBS listeners at 4 >ls anew type of radio story with reminiscences about experiences as a run-rway

Music BY JAMES THRASHER “T'\lE MEISTERSINGER,” Y-J Wagner’s only comic opera, is to be tomorrow’s Metropolitan offering from the stage of the histroic opera ’-ou.se. WIRE will carry the NBC combined network broadcast at 12:30. The work, first sketched in 1845 and completed in 1868, is based on the 16th century legend of Walther von der Vogelweide, the medieval minnesinger, and Hans Sachs, the cobbler-philosopher - musician of Nuremburg. The plot may be summed up in five words: “A Wife for a Song,” for by winning the St. John's Day contest. Walther wins the lovely Eva as well. A famous character of the opera is the pompous town clerk, Beckmesser, a none too subtle caricature of Hanslick, one of the foremost music critics of the ast century, and bitterly anti-Wagner. a a a The cast for Saturday’s performance is to be headed by Elisabeth Rethberg and Rene Maison as Eva and Walther; Friedrich Schorr will sing Hans Sachs; Hans Clemens, David; Karin Branzell, Magdalena; and Eduard Habich, BeeVmesser. Other artists to be heard are Messrs. List, Huchn, Windheim, Altglass and d’Angelo. a a a MODERN reproductions of ancient instruments are to be heard on the NBC Music Guild program tonight at 10:30 with the playing of Bach's Concerto in F for two recorders, harpsichord and strings. WIRE will carry the broadcast. The recorders were a form of wooden flute popular in Elizabethan times, mellow-toned and somewhat resembling a clarinet without keys. Like string instruments, they were made in a complete “choir” from bass to treble. Carl Dolmetsch who, with Suzanne Bloch, is to play the recorder on tonight’s program, is a member of the famous English family which makes recorders, viols and harpsichords, and performs almost forgotten music written for them.

MUCH DETAILED WORK PRECEDES ELECTION TIME Charles Ettinger Explains Care Needed to Insure Correct Vote. Voters do not realize the work necessary to prepare for their entrance in a polling booth where they vote for the candidates of their choice, Charles R. Ettinger, chief deputy county clerk and supervisor of elections, believes. Mr. Ettinger recently was appointed supervisor for the third consecutive time by the Marion County Board of Primary Election Commissioners, composed of Rae W. Powell. Republican: David M. Lewis, Democrat, and Glenn B. Ralston, county clerk. The duties of the supervisor—to prepare forms, conduct the instruction school for precinct election officers and to assist the board—do not sound complicated, Mr. Ettinger said, but many hours of detail checking are necessary before supplies can be sent to the various precincts. Much Detail Work “For instance, 17 forms must be prepared to be used by the candidates and board before the ballots can be printed. Before the ballots are completed they must be crosschecked seven times to prevent errors in names, party designation and ballot number. Thistwork is split up so that the same name is never checked twice by the same person,” he said. For use on primary election day 38 forms are sent to each polling place. These forms must be approved and certified by the election board. In addition booths, ballot boxes and tables must be inspected by the board, the supvisor said. Other accessories could be found in a stationery shop. Two sticks of sealing wax to seal the counted ballots, a darning needle and thread on which to string ballots are senY to each polling place. Six blotters, two pen holders, eight steel pens, two large paper fasteners and two bottles of ink also are included. Other Items Included Other necessaries sent out include maps of precincts, instructions to voters, lists of voting places, auto stickers, messenger badges, ribbon workers’ badges and official badges. •“We go on a 24-hour shift about 10 days before and until five days after election. When the ballots are being printed one of us is on hand constantly. Every ballot, good or mutilated, must be accounted for,” Mr. Ettinger said. “After the ballots are cast we must stay on hand while they are being counted and tabulated. Part of our equipment consists of mattresses and cots. We pitch camp

Mail Mad This is a natural. In fact, it’s Two Naturals. Even the postoffice workers caught on. A letter, mailed in Middletown. 0., and addressed in symbols, has been delivered to the right place here. At the top of the envelope is a pair of dice, followed by the word “case.” Unfortunately, only one “natural” (seven to you, Elmer) is shown, but that didn’t stop the mail boys. Next is a clock, with the hands pointing to 6:30, followed by compass directions with the E enlarged, a map of Michigan and a plain st. This is as far as the boys could get. Indianapolis and Indiana stumped ’em, so they had to write them out. Put them all together, they spell Two Naturals Case, 630 E. Michigan-st. It was a lot of work, but it must have been fun.

on the fourth floor of the Courthouse,” he said. Democratic and Republican watchers, approved by the board, are appointed to assist. If it becomes necessary, the names on each candidate's petition are checked against the voters’ registration list, he said. “Due to lack of space in the clerk’s office and the interest already shown in the election, the County Commissioners have turned their court over to us as a candidates’ filing room after March 6,” Mr. Ettinger said. Adolph Emhardt Jr. has been named assistant supervisor of elections.

COUNTY AGENT SEEKS TO CUT POULTRY LOSS Abbott Works With Purdue in Campaign Here for Healthy Chickens. In an effort to reduce losses in Marion County's $600,000 poultry industry, Purdue University Agricultural Extension Department, through Horace E. Abbott, county agricultural agent, is to inaugurate a Grow Healthy Pullet campaign March 1. “During recent years, farm flocks have provided an important weekly income, ranking in third place among all other branches of livestock in Marion County,” Mr. Abbott said. It is with this in view that the campaign has been started. Last year's results show that with proper management, 98 per cent of farmers’ chickens can be raised, he said. Farmers taking part are to be requested to register at the county agent's office. This will entitle them to a series of letters to be sent out during the season. These letters, prepared by the Purdue Poultry Division, are to offer suggestions on brooding, feeding and disease control. “Co-operation of the farmers during the campaign is expected to help Marion County poultry raisers to avoid the heavy loss of chicks which has made many of the flocks unprofitable in recent years,” the agent said.
