Claude Haggard's
Electric Safely
Talk Due Friday
Claude C. Haggard, director
of safety for the California-Oregon
Power Co., will make sparks
fly at Southern Oregon college
on Friday, March 25, to demon
strate safe handling of electri- j
city, which has become an in-!
creasingly important hosehold
medftm and now plays such a
big part in our everyday lives.
His demonstration will be
given at the child safety con
ference all day there.
Haggard has received nation
al recognition for his investiga
tions into the effects of electric
hock. His work has been aim
ed at further reducing hazards.
Thanks to safety precautions
taken by power companies, total
number of deaths from this
cause in the United States is
limited to less than one per cent
of the approximate 90,000 acci
dental deaths annually.
Four Death Causes
There are four general causes
of death from electric shock,
Haggard has pointed out; severe
burning and damage to vital or
gans, stopping of breathing, dis
turbing the rhythm of the
heart, and by indirect methods
In which a mild shock may cause
a person to become unbalanced
and fall to his death. One of
several demonstrations will be
to show how a child flying a kite
may be seriously injured if the
kite comes In contact with a
power line.
Haggard's demonstration at
Child Safety Conference is
scheduled for 1:30 p.m. follow
ing the luncheon. The confer
ence will begin at 9 a.m. Friday
with registration in the adminis
tration building at Southern
Oregon college and will continue
throughout the day and evening.
Other prominent speakers on
the program are Dr. Harry F.
Dietrich of Beverlv Hills, Law
rence Beauchamp of Camas,
Wash., and H. W. Heidenreich of
Medford. i

The great game of baseball is
In the twilight of its existence
as the national sport, and some
thing will have to be done by
the owners to make it mora in
viting to the players as well as
the public.
This is the gist of the discus
sion held between two old tim
ers of the game recently at
Grants Pass. They were Frank
White of Camp White, formerly
with Cleveland, and Ken Wil
liams, star outfielder of the St.
Louis Browns for many years.
Williams gave up baseball aft
ri 16 year career in the Am
erican league in 1930, and re
turned to his home at Grants
Pass. He started his career as
one of the top outfielders of the
day when baseball itself was
tops.
Looks About Same
"Williams spends his time tak
ing life as it comes, putting in
his days at his place of business
and at the Elks and Legion club.
He doesn't do much to remind
the town of his big league days.
He looks about the same as he
did when he led the league in
; batting lanky but now quite
gray," White declared in com
' menting on his interview with
Ithe star at his home where he
j spent several days.
"There is one thing certain
: today, and that is that people
don't have to go to the games.
The tax is too heavy and there
;are other uses for their money.
.They will have to make the
game more attractive."
; This was the thought Williams
.expressed to White. Concerning
:the player angle, White said Ken
: Williams was in agreement with

Polec and Poultry ...
One of the most cheering
newspaper pictures that these
old eyes have looked at in many
a day simply shows Mr. and
Mrs. John Cornwell of Lacomb,
Linn county, Oregon, and a plain
pole of their new poultry house
all together.
They look happy indeed, and
they should, for with home
grown poles and shakes they
have built themselves a poultry
building 1,600 feet square equip
ped to house 400 hens, at a
money outlay of less than $600.
The picture appears in that
fine journal, "The Oregon Far
mer," with an article that states
the Cornwells could not have
made a start with poultry this
year, had it not been for mat-

him regarding the need for in
centives, from a monetary stand
point, for young players, as well
as a greater interest on the
part of the clubs in furthering
their careers.
Suggests Change
White, a scout for many years,
stated that such conditions as
the refusal to permit the signing
up of high school players with
promise before they graduate
from school should be changed.
"They will have to give these
youngsters more money, other
wise they will continue to work
at jobs that pay them more than
baseball, while they are waiting
to advance to big league status,"
White says. He and Williams are
in agreement on this point.
"They've got to do something for
the kids or there won't be any
big leagues as we knew them,"
he declared.
Williams is now in his 60's
and looks back on 10 years of
high caliber playing the outfield
for the Browns. He started with
Cincinnati in 1915 and finished
with Boston in 1929. He was out
of the game in 1917 with the
Army.
A -glance at his record shows
that he batted over .300 every
year from 1918 on, with the ex
ception of 1926 when he drop
ped to .280. In the year he left
Boston his average was .346, one
point below his high mark of
.347 in 1921.
REAPPOINTED

Patterson said today he has re

neighborly aid.

to help string the rafters.
The Home Treatment . . .
No pole for a building that
OSC engineers have anything to
do with is going to escape some
brand of preservative treatment.
They prefer the pressure treat
ment, of course. But in cases
where it is built at bedrock cost
or not at all, they will cooper

gineer Bonnicksen and the
Cornwells rigged up a double-
barrel treating unit, sunk in the
ground. There the poles were
benta-soaked.
A minimum grade of siding
was nailed on the 2x8 inch Doug
las fir rafters, under the "right
use of the right grade in the
right place" recommendations of
the West Coast Lumbermen's as
sociation. Other lumber and
shakes were salvaged from an
ancient barn of the pioneers.

acre farm is given to the grow

cneck rows for easy cultivation.
