Many horses and men were required for the job. ne said. It required two headers to keep the thresher In grsln. Mr. Maury recalled Each header had a crew of six men and 10 to 12 horaea. Some of the men bad saddle horses. With those who hsuled the threshed grain to the bins, nearly 30 men and the same number of horses were re quired for the whole' operation, Mr. Maury said. The men and horses boarded with the farmer whose grain was being threshed. The women of each farm vied with one another to see who could furnish the best meals. Mr. Maury remembered with a chuckle.

Carrlngton commented on ghoate after he read about how so many people In and around New York aald they bad heard mysterious noises at night. "I believe in haunted houses." said Carrlngton. "People don't Juat Imag ine that they see and- hear atrange sights and sounds tn old dwellings These experiences seem to come in waves, and I must say thla la a great sesson for them. "My theory of a haunted house Is that a place can get so charged with magnetic Influences of forceful people thst the walls soak up mental and emotional disturbances and that these Influences can be reflected back so that they affect people now living there. "Most people talk about ghosts aa If they, were uncanny elves some thing to be afraid of. My belief la that they are people, the aame aa we are, and that there's no reason to be afraid of them. I don't believe that the entitles that haunt old houses are consciously here. What we see or hear are vague memories of long ago actlvltlea that they project Into our world, like swift dreams.
