Southern Oregon News .Review, Thursday, A pril 22. BMH t/„- t— FICTION P C lassified D epartm ent E X C E P T IO N Bv Corner PAUL T U L IE N ___ RABBITS A SKINS p k O W N in the well, with no way of getting out and with little hope of rescue, Chris Thornton remem­ bered the line he had written over and over in his copybook some 40 years before. “ N E V E R P U T O F F T IL L TOM ORROW W HAT YO U C A N D O T O D A Y ." He could fairly see the large round letters he had so laboriously formed with pen held stiffly in ink-smeared fingers. The line had had little meaning for him then—just some words that he m ust write over and over until M iss Curry was satisfied. And Miss Curry had been hard to satisfy. Its m eaning was brought home sharply to him now—when perhaps it was too late. However, the former owner of the farm had let so many things about the place run down that he had time only to take care of what seemed most necessary. Undoubtedly, he thought ruefully, it would have been wiser to rephice the rotten boards that covered the abandoned well, even though his cows might have stepped over a fallen wire to tram ­ ple his prom ising corn. A ll day he had been fixing fences, and coming home he had forgotten about the well which he could not see in the darkness. An ankle had been hurt in the fall — perhaps sprained or broken. It was swollen and painful, and probably would be worse by morning. about—like worrying about the crops or planning something else. Such worries looked pretty inconsequen­ tial now. And unless he could get out of the well, there wouldn't be any more planning. Thinking of the .line made him think of the boys who had been his schoolmates and playm ates In th o se long-past days — Tom , George, C e cil, Jim m y , Fred and many others whose names he could not even recall. Where were they now* He hadn't seen one of them for years. Dim ly their faces appeared out of the past, and then the line came bobbing back, blotting them out. “ N E V E R P U T O F F T IL L TO M O R ­ ROW W H A T Y O U C A N DO T O ­ D A Y ." Why couldn't the line stay away, he thought angrily. It couldn't do him any good now. His dog began barking—at a squirrel m aybe. Or was somebody com ing? He shouted for help, hope­ fully at first, but as the minutes went by, despairingly. The dog continued to bark. Prob­ ably at a squirrel, for there were many of them about*. “ Where are y o u ?" some one culled faintly. • • • After the stranger had found a ladder and helped him out. Thorn­ ton said, “ I should have fixed that long ago. 'W ay back when I was in the second grade I wrote In my copybook about 'leven hundred times. 'N E V E R P U T O F F T IL L TO M O R R O W W HAT Y O U C A N DO T O D A Y .' and I've certainly found out now how wise that is ." t " I suppose that makes good sense alw ays," agreed the other, “ unless there’s an exception to prove the rule." “ Well, if every rule has an excep­ tion, this was no exception, any­ w a y ," Thornton said, udding sud­ denly, “ Say, how did you happen to com e?" “ I represent the Valley Farm er. Your subscription has run out.” Thornton laughed. “ There's the ex­ ception we were talking about. I got a letter from your paper a month ago asking me to renew. I've put off sending the money again and again, but if I hadn't put it off, you wouldn't have come today.” He struck a m atch and looked at his watch. Twenty to nine. Surely it m ust be later than that, for it seem ed like hours since he had fallen. He held the watch to his ear; it was running now anyway. N ever before had a night been so unending. Snatches of sleep cam e at intervals, sleep broken by torturous dreams in which he was forever clim bing, yet never quite reaching the top. How long, he wondered, could a m an live without water? And how soon would anyone miss him? Not soon enough, he was certain. The farm lay in a lonely place and a car seldom passed over the grass- grown road. He had had few visitors during the months he had lived here. Lou Edw ards, his nearest neighbor, had stopped in several tim es, but it was unlikely that E d ­ wards would come again soon for he had little time for visiting since his last boy had left. Thornton knew that a man could clim b out of 5 well without a ladder by bracing his back against one side and getting a toehold between the stones on the opposite side. He had seen it done though he had never tried it him self. To try it now, when his foot was so painful he could not stand on it, was out of the question. "Should’ve busted m y neck in­ stead ," he muttered bitterly. “ That would have ended the misery sooner.” The stars faded from the small circle of sky that he could see. Gradually light entered the well. Whining softly, his dog looked down at him ; probably she had been sit­ ting there all night, w aiting for him to come up. If only there were a w ay to have the dog summon help. He m ight as well forget that. There w asn’t any way. H e wished it would rain, for enough water m ight run down into the well to satisfy his growing thirst. Then too, Edw ards m ight find time to com e; his other visits had been made on rainy days. M ight as well forget that too. It wouldn’t rain. Why did that copybook line keep looming before his eyes? Otherwise he never thought of things that hap­ pened so long ago. O f course, other­ wise he had other things to think How long, be wondered, conld a m an live without water? And bow soon would anyone miss him ?

Oh, we so prone to doubt, Can we not trust the One through life’s brief hour, Who has such infinite, unfailing power? U . S. economy is expanding under the pressure of postwar necessity, but that almost frantic expansion is taking a high toll in deaths and in­ juries of workers. L a st year, the bureau of labor statistics reports, was the seventh in a row in which more than two mil­ lion workers suffered disabling in­ juries on the job. Tim e lost during the year because of injuries amount­ ed to 44.7 million man-days—the equivalent of a year’s full-time em­ ployment for about 150,000 persons. Giving even greater pause was the fact that 17,000 persons were killed in job accidents during 1947. Bureau of labor statistics puts the blame, to a large extent, on rising employment. Another factor last year, however, were two ma­ jor industrial disasters—the Texas City explosion and the Centralia, 111., mine disaster—both of which took heavy tolls. Jo b Injuries in 1947 increased 1 per cent over 1946, job injury deaths jumped 3 per cent. The year's toll included 1,800 employees who will be totally disabled for the rest of their lives and another 90,000 who will suffer some permanent impairment as long as they live. Increases in injuries and deaths occurred in construction, mining and quarrying, public utilities and trade. Agriculture and railroading injuries were fewer than In 1946.

Football Coaches The new football season of 1948 al­ ready is under way. with the great­ est coaching shift in history. There are new men at Yale, H arvard, In­ diana, N avy, Michigan, Washington and Kansas, to mention only a few. They are all good men and those who have the best material will win. Those who haven’t, won’ t. The most distinct shift belongs to Herman Hickm an who left Arm y for Yale. The poet laureate of the Sm oky mountains, who as a fat coun­ try boy, reached stardom as a guard a l Tennessee over 20 years ago, had no early dream that some day he would be head football man beneath New Haven’s classic elms. At West Point, Hickm an became the best line coach I ever saw. He also became one of the most inspira­ tional factors in all football. N o one can say just yet how Hick­ man will work out as a head coach in his first year. M y guess is that the Sm oky mountain bard will do a fine job with even fair m aterial. Even at football's middle age, Herm an knows in advance that he can handle any man on his squad, physically. This was true at Arm y when he had Coulter, Foldberg. Steffy and a few other, brawny linemen. I’ve seen Hickm an take them on two at a time with his am azingly active 300 or more pounds. Hickm an should make a fine head coach. He has been a great football player—and also a great fellow. B e­ tween seasons he can take over the chair of mountain poetry at Y ale, in which his kinfolk might figure. » • • The Great Bambino p e r I , m illio n p o p u la tle n In e x c l. t e r r it o r y f o r Im m . del.
