Dineeh Descendants Held Reunion Sunday Fifty descendents of the Daniel Dineen family met for the first an nual re-union near Cherry Creek, Sunday, July 28, 1940. A bounteous dinner was served by the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Pox. The following were chosen to ar range for the 1941 gathering at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Saalfield, Carroll Hill on the last Sunday of July. Chairman, Mrs. John Saal field, Cattaraugus; vice chairman, E. B. McCarthy, Little Valley Treas urer, Mrs. Larry Madsen, Cattarau gus; Secretary, Miss Eleanor Milks, Little Valley; Mrs. Ben Pox, His torian, Cherry Creek. All but eight of the known living descendents v/ere present from Buffalo, Cattarau gus, Little Valley, Stockton, Sinclair- ville, Jamestown, Falconer, East Randolph, Punxsutawney, Pa., Sar dinia, N. Y., Painted Post, Savona and Youngstown, Ohio. The oldest member present was Henry Isbell, 79, Stockton, a for mer resident of New Albion and the youngest member was Judy Ann Pox, 2 mo. old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harley Pox of East Randolph. Pneumonia Still Takes Toll Of the 1,400,000 deaths in the Unit- ed States every year, 117,000 are caused by pneumonia. America: One of this depart ment’s most efficient and valued scouts dropped into Henry Rocano’s sporting goods store up at Danbury, Conn., and in the course of a friend ly conversation casually inquired if he’d had any demand for rifles or shotguns on the part of customers who wished to be ready in case any German parachute troops landed in their vicinity. Rocano replied that an aged and quite wealthy woman who fives in the neighborheod had bought a rifle and a large supply of ammunition because of the possibil ity that Nazis might land in Coimect- icut. He didn’t want to give her name because it might embarrass her but added that if any Nazis did pick her property for a descent, they would meet with a warm reception. Somehow the vision of a grayheaded woman on guard gives one a warm and comforting feeling about Amer ica. Fame: Nineteen-year-old Carol Bruce, who until the debut of the new musical comedy hit, “Louisi ana Purchase,” was merely another struggling young singer, now finds herself the center of attention of velvet-voiced, venders who besiege her with wares and suggestions as to how she should dress and make up in a befitting manner for her new importance. Here are some samples of advice she has received from thdse who would part her from her money: Don’t be prosaic. Try a panther lap robe for afternoon motoring, a laprobe of silver foxes for evening. This is the season for whopping big jewels. Six bracelets on a wrist, ’ a pin as big as a powder puff, an emerald necklace with a clasp the size of a doorknob. For afternoon wear, one pink, one blue glove. And so on and on and on: Street Scene: An old man with a long white beard peacefully slum bering on a Central Park West bench . . . A ragged colored man going along slowly and stopping to swiftly retrieve a cigar butt of con siderable length . . . Ragamuffins scaling the park rocks like young goats . . . A pretty nursemaid push ing a perambulator with her eyes apparently demurely on the side walk . . . Yet , taking notice of a big truck driver who is waiting for the light to change . . . An enor mously fat woman with one of those tin-cup size hats perched jauntily over her left ear . . . Boys and girls on bicycles zig-zagging through the traffic . . . A vender of ice cream stopping to ring his bell and the sleeper jumping to his feet and scuttling away muttering. Ethics; Now that golfers are out in full force, a New Yorker who spent several months in the Florida winter belt recalled an incident at one of the stylish clubs where the caddies are all colored. While play ing with his daughter one afternoon, he knocked the ball into the rough. As he approached it, he noticed that the caddy was teeing it up, Somewhat sharply, he ordered him not to do that as it was against the rules. The caddy looked at him amazed' and replied, “Well, mister, I’ve been a caddy for this club two or three years and some of the members like to have their ball set up and some don’t but mostly they do.” And that-, the New Yorker holds, is a tip-off on honesty. Advice: Sometime ago, in. this space a cure for tired feet was men tioned. J. A. Barer of Harrisville, Mich., holds that I should have ad vised that when drying the feet, they shouldn’t be sawed with the towel but dried by standing on it else there might be “needle corns” which feel like a red-hot needle be ing driven into the sole of the foot. As for “needle corns,” he says to draw about three inches of cold wa ter, not ice water, into the tub and oak the feet for 20 minutes. Then stand on the bath mat or towel. He doesn’t know how long it takes for a cure but declares that his method finally brings results. Panhandling: Noted a panhandler at work. His clothes indicated that he had slept in a park all night and his step was unsteady. But seem ingly he was a shrewd judge of hu man nature as almost every man he tackled, instead of shaking his head, dug into his pocket. After plying his trade vigorously for pos sibly a half hour, the moocher walked away rapidly and, screened from the view of his customers, counted his take. Evidently satis fied, he lighted a cigar butt and strode away rapidly in the general direction of tfie nearest filling sta tion. End Piece: The other afternoon at a bridge club, a gentleman who wished to open a fresh pack of cig- , arettes drew from his pocket a small pair of scissors and carefuUy cut the cellophane wrapper instead of vainly scratching. He always carried scissors, he explained, and that led May to remark that after aU, he might be a merchant tailor. (Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.) Glass Eye Explodes SALEM, ORE.—Naomi Merrick’s glass eye exploded, inflicting severe cuts in the interior of the eye socket. The accident was attributed to ex pansion caused by heat.

He was going 'to be all that he wanted to be—.tomorrow No one should be kinder or braver than he—tomorrow. A friend who was troubled and weary, he knew. Would be glad of .a lift, and needed it, too; On him he would call and see what be could do—tomorrow. Each morning he stacked up the letters he’d write—^tomorrow. And thought of the folks he would fill with delight—(tomorrow.

The greatest of workers, this man would have been—tomorrow, The world would 'have known him had he ever seen—^tomorrow. But in fact he passed on, and he faded from vie'w. And all that he left here when living was through Wias a mountain of things he intended .to do—tomorrow. Increase Wood Durability By Protective Treatment Wood, always a durable building material if wisely used, has been gaining added durability as a result of recent research. At the forest products laboratory of the United States department of agriculture and elsewhere science has found ways of making wood last longer by impregnating the fibers with chem icals to insure the timber against decay and against insect attacks. Current experiments with some of the newer synthetic chemicals and particularly with some of the plas tics promise still further extensions of service. Advocates of wood as a building material point to such examples as the Fairbanks house in Dedham, Mass., built of wood in 1636 and still structurally intact; also to Eu ropean houses of timbered construc tion dating well back into the Mid dle ages, and to timbers in Indian pueblos in the Southwest that are hundreds of years old and stni sound. Given the protective treatments developed in recent years, timber is proving durable under conditions that would soon destroy untreated timber, and foresters are not in clined to set any outside limits on the durability of treated timbers when kept well protected and in fa vorable locations. Recent Survey Reveals Men as Most Careless Professional nurses are “tops” when it comes to leaving valuables in clothes sent to the laundry. This is the conclusion of the Amer ican Institute of Laxmdering follow ing a survey which disclosed that nurses’ uniforms and aprons are veritable treasure mines with the pockets frequently disgorging wrist watches, fountain pens, pencils, thermometers, small pieces of jew elry, and other valuables when ex amined by sorters at commercial laundries. All such goods, of course, are put into individual bags and returned promptly to their owners. Close behind the nurses’ clothes are men’s sport togs, such as wash slacks and sport shirts. They fre quently contain small change, rolls of bills, watches, fountain pens, pen cils, tie clasps, cuff buttons, and other small pieces of masculine jew elry. A Chicago laundry recently found $85 in a pair of men’s slacks, while the Institute laupdry found $93 in similar garments. Laundries which also operate dry cleaning plants reported that men are much more careless about leav ing valuables in their clothes than are women. Spider Silk Imagine holding in the palm of your hand enough material to cir cumscribe completely the circum ference of the world—yet material so fine that such a quantity of it would weigh but one pound! Such a material is the spider silfe employed by Dr. John Albright, as sociate professor of physics, to con struct the cross hairs in optical in struments. Not only is Dr. Albright one of the few men in the United States who can mount cross hairs in optical instruments, but he is also his own provider of the delicate spider’s web silk that goes into the eye pieces of the telescopes, micro scopes, transits and such. Professor Albright’s start in this unique hobby and occupation was simple enough, for, as he puts it, “Many years ago I began putting cross hairs in the eyepieces of op tical measuring instruments. Boon I found that I needed a supply of the spider’s silk fiber that goes into the eyepiece of the instrument. So I got some spiders and obtained my own fiber.” Lure of Sea Lion Poundmaster Allan McKay, Red wood City, Calif., knew just what to do when what was later diagnosed •as a seal or a sea lion showed up on the principal street of the city. He got a few pounds of kippers, and by throwing them across the path of the animal finally lured it into a big packing case, in which it was returned to the sea. New Streamlined Trains Increase Rail Traffic A report released by Coverdale & Colpitts, consulting engineers of New York, gives a comprehensive survey of the record made by the rnodern, streamline, lightweight, high-speed passenger trains intro duced by railroads in the West, East and South during the last five years. The opening words of the report state that “modern lightweight trains have produced additional pas senger traffie and substantial earn ings for every railroad placing them in service.” Placing in service of these new streamliners has been one of the most important advances in railroad transportation since the introduction of the sleeping car. There was the possibility of great speed from the first, but the combination of lux urious comfort, high speed and punctual schedules did not come un til much later. There has been more progress in bettering railroad service and equipment in the last 10 years than there had been in the preceding 40 years. The report is largely technical and statistical, but indicates that the im provement the railroads have made in their services gives the American traveling public new vacation oppor tunities in comfort, speed and low The streamliners, the Denver Zephyrs of the Burlington, built by the Budd Manufacturing company, according to the report, produced the greatest gross revenue of any trains reported on in the year ended June 30, 1939. Other streamliners that have enjoyed great popular favor are those of the Santa Fe, Northwestern-Union Pacific, South ern Pacific, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific, Northwestern, Rock Island, Missouri Pacific, Illi nois Central, , Seaboard, Atlantic Coast line and other roads. Fish-Eafing Plants There are water plants, such as the bladder-wort, which catch small fish by spreading bladder-shaped nets into which the fish enter. Be ing unable to escape they die and the plant then feeds upon their de caying bodies. Wasps Blamed for North Carolina’s Bald Mounts Wasps are to blame for North Car olina’s “bald mountains,” according to a recent explanation of Dr, W. A. Gates, of the Louisiana State uni versity. Until Dr. Gates came along with his brand-new explanation, many other theories were advanced for the so-called “bald mountains.” With North Carolina dotted with these so-called “bald mountains,” some of the theories advanced in cluded that the soil on the mountain tops is lacking some of the ele ments necessary to the growth of the timber. Another theory was that the Indians used to clear or burn off these prominences on which na ture eventually gave up trying to grow anything except grass or scrubby bushes. In a recent study of two moun tains, Dr. Gates discovered a count less army of wasps around the edge of the area being denuded. These bugs make short work of oak trees covering hundreds of acres. Dr. Gates said, in explaining his theory for the denuded areas. Television Apparatus Dwindles Television is showing tendencies to expand—that is in all respects except the amount of apparatus re quired, particularly for outdoor pickups. For instance, when New York’s tele-transmitter, operated by the National Broadcasting company with the RCA system, went into op eration in the spring of last year, two healthy-sized Vans were re quired to carry the equipment to televise football and other outdoor events. One had the apparatus to make the camera function, the other carried the transmitter to relay the signal-to the main station on the Empire State building. Now this all has been reduced to such an extent that only about one- tenth as much material, in weight, is needed.- In fact instead of two motor vans, a station wagon or even a limousine can haul the equipment around. What’s more, the cost is on^-sixth of the other unit. Epidemic in 1793 An epidemic of yellow fever in Philadelphia in 1793 killed one-tenth of the population.
