Farmer Plans Goat- Team Trek To New York Fair KESWICK. Ia.. (UP) Charlie Mc Cartney, 40-year old Iowan, who farms 20 acres four miles southwest of here, it going to attend the New York world's fair. Hi wife and small son are going, too. That's not unusual. But they're going to make the 1,150 mile trip In a homemade wagon drawn by two eight-goat teams. The venture, if it Is successful, will be a much greater achievement than the horsedrawn wagon trip Charlie made to Chicago for the cen tury of progress in 1936. That trip took him 18 days. He plans to allow himself 100 days for the New York trip, although he be lieves his goat teams can cover 30 miles a day. McCartney Is not certain Just what he will do when and if he arrives In New York. He stayed In Chicago during the 1936 fair for three months. Ha was paid 100 a month and given horse feed. He helped pay his expenses by selling postcard pic tures of himself and hU rig, which was a made-over automobile body. The McCartneys live in a nonde script house, which Charlie built himself. Using his goat teams, he hauled lumber for the house ten miles. He spurns tractors and horses for his farm work, preferring to use goat teams. He breaks them to drive himself and also makes all their har ness and his farm Implements. McCartney describe the goats as "the meanest things that ever was." He Insists "you have to work them to death." He once had 45 goats, but the dogs reduced their number to 18. He wears his hair, aa well a his beard, long. On rare occasions he cuts it. Because of his eccentricities, Mc Cartney has many visitors. He greets them with hospitality, points to his turnip, potato and pop corn crops with pride. 4 LOS ANGELES, Nov. S. (UP) After four days of controversy the way apparently was cleared last night for the appearance of Violinist Y hudi Menuhln with the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra today, al though the young virtuoso stead fastly refused to Join the musician's guild. Frank Chapman. Pacific coast rep resentative of the American Guild of Musical Arte, after a chat with Menuhln said he would not ask the orchestra to go out on strike be cause such action would be break ing faith with the public. It was believed the matter would end there, despite the AOMA decision In New York that Its contract with the Southern California Symphony as sociation, which li sponsoring the virtuoso's appearance, calls for all performers to be guild members. Menuhln said Chapman Impressed him as being the "only gentleman" with whom he had dealt in the con troversy and that if there were more such men as Capman In the Guild he might reconsider his decision and apply for membership. f Use Mai Tribune Want Ads.
