Agony Moments
In Plunge Told
LONDON (U.H Auxiliary Fire
man Jack Bead, 27, was standing
on a bride connecting the two top
floors of Lambeth Hospital, Lon
don, 40 feet above the ground,
when a bomb crashed beneath the
bridge blowing it into the air and
Head with it
When he woke up in hospital,
the first thing he did was to re
cord his impressions in a diary.
That was four months ago, and
at the time he never thought he
would recover, but today he is
back at his post.
Here are some extracts from
this amazing diary:
"I am hurled upwards through
the air at terrifying speed. At the
top of my flight I seem to be sta
tionary for a second. I am con
scious of a brilliant light from the
exploding bomb, and in this in
stant I see the bridge breaking
up underneath me.
"Kirby (the officer-in-charge)
is flying through the air and the
light is playing on his polished
brass epaulettes.
Long Way to Fall
"There is the roar of the ex
plosion and the rumble of falling
masonry. Then it is dark. I begin
to turn over and over as I fall.
I know that I have a long way
to drop and I imagine that I shall
be killed when I reach the ground.
I let my body go limp because
I think that by doing this I will
possibly avoid violent fractures.
"I wonder how much it is go
ing to hurt. There is still a loud
rumbling of falling debris, and I
feel my forehead become moist
against the wind as something
grazes the skin. .
"It seems to me I have already
been falling a week. I begin to
feel annoyed annoyed at the
thought of dying before this war
is finished. . . .
"All my life I have watched
civilization in revolt: first creep
ing, then a stampede. It would
have been so interesting, so ex
citing. ...
"Here I am turning crazily over
and over and falling towards my
doom. I am annoyed.
How Hard the Ground
"Then I wonder again how hard
the ground is going to be.
"I am conscious of the fact that
I have stopped falling. There is a
pain in my left arm, but I can't
think that I am alive. A piece of
debris, a door frame or something,
lands across my chest, but its full
force is taken by the debris that
is -on the other side , of me. I
welcome the twinge in my chest.
"I must still be alive. I attempt
to raise the debris, but my left
arm will not respond to the im
pulse. My right arm is active, and
I manage to get up and walk
toward a group of dim lights
that are appearing in front of
me."
The diary, written in hospital,
ends: "I go off to sleep after say
ing my prayers for the first time
in years."
O. drive here will have netted
$317, Phil Bartholomew, head of
the work in this district, said Mon
day. This will be $17 over the
Springfield quota.
Collections have not yet been
completed but to date $180 has
been turned over to the Lane
county committee. Employes of
the Springfield Plywood corpora
tion have pledged themselves to
donate $100, which sum will be
turned in at the end of the week.
This, plus other money collected
within the last few days will bring
the total to $317.

Science Should Govern
Appetites of U. S. A.
CHICAGO U.R More than 4
per cent of the population never
heard of a vitamin and 84 per
cent does not know a protein
from a carburetor. Therefore, ex
perts on nutrition agree that peo
ple should allow science not their
appetite to govern diet.
A nationwide survey shows that
48 per cent of the people admit
the scientific diet is better, but
40 per cent still hold out for the
decision of their stomachs. Sci
ence as a food selector is advised
by 56 per cent of the doctors, 64
per cent of the dentists, and 85
per cent of the home economics
teachers.
Other facts brought to light by
the survey are:
Only 30 per cent of the people
actually do something to insure
getting sufficient vitamins.
Only three-tenths of 1 per cent
of all doctors say that fish is
"brain food."
Rural people eat three times ai
much meat as those in the city.
In voting for the most tasty
foods, 3S.7 of the people chose
meat, 21.7 chose leafy vegetables.
Forty-one per cent of the men
named meat as their favorite food.
Women are divided between meat
and vegetables as a favorite.
portant advance in the rubber In
dustry," Mr. Brannen claims.
The new tire, named the Seiber
ling safety tire, embodies revolu
tionary safety principles, accord
ing to Mr. Brannen. First is its
"saw-tooth" tread which grips the
roaa from ail angles wnen nraices
are applied, a curve is being ne
gotiated or the car begins to skid.
"A maximum of anti-skid protec
tion is assured under all highway
conditions."
The patented Seiberling prin
ciple of heat-venting is also, incor
porated in the safety tire. Bullet
shaped vents in the shoulder of the
tire permit dangerous internally
generated heat to escape thus giv
ing greater safety from heat fail
ures and blowouts.
