Thursday, August 13, 1936 The Gold Hill News, Gold Hill, Oregon BRISBANE THIS WEEK Choses Vues Furs, Conscience-Proof , Caterpillars and Weeds Wise Generosity An able Frenchman, long since dead, wrote about choses vues— "things seen.” There are still many things to see and to hear, although there is nobody to write about them as that old French man wrote. At the head of th e London Times’ "personal column,” s o m e one pays to print this impressive extract from the Psalms: A r t * ., n ,u b .. . T ‘‘® e e k . Lord, and His strength; seek His face evermore. Remember his marvelous works that lie hath done; His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth.” You spend a moment wondering what kind of English man or wom an, strong in faith, decided to put that text before statesmen that to day seek the "face" of Hitler, Mus solini, Stalin, but forget the greater power of the Creator of those gen tlemen. “Two Trains on a Track'* By FLO Y D GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter I »’ embarking on an expedition into some unexplored 1 jungle,” lays George Force of New York city, “I might have been ready for anything. Hut aa it happened, adventure came to me on a trip home from the office. A trip I took six days a week, fifty weeks in the year."

The train way rolling along about twenty miles out of New York, and Just beyond the town of Westfield. At the other aide of Westfield, the ’ rain stopped. The express waa coming through and the little local was switched to another track. The railroad dispatchers intended it to stay there until the express had gone by. Tragic Train W reck on W in ter Night. But something went wrong with the signals. The big train—the Royal Blue Line Philadelphia Express—doing sixty miles an hour—was on the wrong track. It was coming straight for the rear-end of the local train on which George was riding, but not a man on either train knew it until it wus too late. The first George knew of it waa when the crash came. It come with a terrible, jarring impact that shook the train from one end to another. Then, aa fa r aa George was concerned the whole world seemed to be coming to an end. Hays George: " I was In the forward part of the third ear. The crash, when it came, was so terrific m at it pushed our train half a mile along the tracks. The shock of that collision alone killed many people.” But that shock waa only the beginning. Jolted half out of his senses, George was dimly conscious of the whole terrible affair. Like a man in a dream he saw the car he was in turn over on its side.

With the whole upper part of his body out of that window, he was dragged along the tracks as the car. lying on its side still continued to scrape along them. © Questions' Add a tablespoon of cream to roast beef or lamb gravy.
