Plastics Used for
Protection of High
Quality Silage
Chicago . U.PJ There's
something new for farmer a
plastic silo.
A Purdue University research
team conducted eight years of
laboratory and field study on the
use of plastics for protection of
high quality silage.
Guided by Prof. H. W. Greg
ory, the team made quality sil
age ensiled in polyethylene film
at far below the cost the farmer
now pays.
Because of their research, to
day's farmer need add to his
present equipment only a spe
cially designed black film to
cover grass silage stacks and en
sile as much of his forage crop
as his land can produce.
During research, the flexible
plastic silos were constructed
close to where harvesting oc
curred, greatly reducing the
time in which silage was ex
posed to air an enemy of fer
mentation. When a stack was completed,
the Purdue repoet said, a plastic
silo tarpaulin was placed over
the stack and the ends buried in
an 8-10 inch trench to give -an
air-tight seaL
Protected from puncture or
damage, they said, the plastic
silo offered air-tight and weather-tight
protection for the stack,
eliminating any surface spoil
age. Under these conditions, the
Purdue study reported that sil
age made in the stacks was very
good as determined by acid de
velopment, odor, appearance
and animal acceptance.
The Purdue scientists found
that temperatures in the black
film silo3 did not rise above 110
degrees and averaged below 98
degrees about 25-30 degrees
lower than temperatures record
ed from uncovered stack silos.
Two uses for plastic silos were
revealed by the study one as
the primary storage for silages,
ana second as emergency or
temporary measures to increase
storage capacity above present
silo facilities.
(The black polyethylene film
is manufactured by Visking Co.,
Plastics Division, Terre Haute.
Ind., under the trade name,
"VisQueen.")

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE
Ed Gardner of Duffy's Tavern Fame To Make Rare Appearance on TV Saturday
By WILLIAM EWALD
United Press Correspondent
New York (U.R) Ed Gardner
who used to manage a tavern
owned by an absentee proprietor
named Duffy, will drop into TV
this Saturday when NBC salutes
that madness known as baseball.
Gardner, for the benefit of the
recently weaned, is the fellow
who used to play Archie on
"Duffy's Tavern," one of radio's
more mellow efforts. Now 55,
a little balding and nursing an
ulcer, Gardner works for an ad
agency in New York.

ONE FOR THE ROAD "
Knoxville, Tenn. U.R) A
judge dismissed a drunkenness
charge against John H. Coggins,
40, Tuesday so he could return
to where he started his tippling.
"I was just celebrating after
spending four years in prison,"
Coggins, of Thomasville, Ga.,
said. "If you'll let me go, I'll go
on to Georgia where I started."
Fire Chief Lauds
Speed of Horses
In Racing To Fires
Wilkes-Barre, Pa. (U.P.)
Were fire horses really fast, or
did their thundering agallop just
cause a lot of excitement?
If you drop by Wilkes-Barre
sometime you're liable to get a
pretty good argument in be
half of the horses, especially if
you talk to Chief Ambrose Sar-
icks. He has been fire chief long
er than any other man in Wilkes
Barre, and in years of service
he is the oldest paid department
chief in Pennsylvania.
In answer to your question,
he probably will tell you some
thing like this:
It was on May 16, 1904, when
two big, high-spirited, cream-
colored buckskins set a world's
record never to be tied or brok-
en. When the bell alarm sound
ed the two horses dashed from
their stables and raced 28 feet
to an overhead harness where
they were hitched to a combina
tion hose-chemical wagon. All
this in three and one-tenth sec
onds, less time than it takes to
man a modern-day hook-and-ladder.
The event knocked seconds
off a record held by a pair of
horses of a Paris, France, fire
company, and to this day it has
never been equalled.
Careful Training.
It was heralded the world
over in newspapers " and fire
men's journals and for years af
ter firemen throughout the na
tion visited Wilkes-Barre just to
shake the hands of Capt. Michael
Umbewust and Chemical Engin
eer Phillip Malloy who hitched
the horses of Hose 8.
Not just any horse could be a
fire horse. There was an art to
training fire horses. It took a
keen eye to select just the right
type; then weeks of practice and
practice and more practice be
fore the horse learned his duties.
The horse was placed in a
stall. A bell would be sounded
and then the door in front of
the stall would be opened and
the animal would be guided ov
er to a spot under the harness.
This process was repeated time
and again until the horse knew
at the sound of the bell he was
to go at gallop to the spot under
the harness.
After many more tries at all
hours of the day and night the
horse would be tested on his
own. If he balked a little, there
usually was a man at the rear
of the stable to give the horse
a tap on the rump until the an
imal reached perfection.
Students Become
Investors in Class
Harrisburg, Pa. (U.R) Some
90 members in consumer educa
tion classes at nearby Dillsburg
Northern Joint High School re
cently became investors as part
of a unique class project.
The class members collected
$32, delegated three students as
representatives, and invested the
money in the stock market. The
stocks were purchased in the
name of Robert Habig, head of
the school's business department
because the students are minors
and not legally permitted to pur
chase stocks.
The stocks will be held until
May when they will be sold and
the principal and any accrued
dividends redistributed among
the class members. Habig origi
nated the project as a means of
demonstrating the workings of
the stock market to his students.
CONSTIPATED?
New laxative discovery unlocks bowel blocks
without gag, bloat or gripe
Constipation is caused by what doc
tors call a "thrifty" colon that, instead
of retaining moisture as it should,
does the opposite: robs the colon of
so much moisture that its contents
become dehydrated, so dry that they
block the bowel; so shrunken that
they fail to excite or stimulate the
urge to purge that propels and expels
waste from your body.
To regain normal regularity, the dry,
shrunken, constipating contents of
your colon which now block your
bowel must be remoistened. Second,
bulk must be brought to your colon
to S-T--E-T-C-H STIMULATB it to
action; to a normal urge to purge.
And, of all laxatives, only Colonaid,
the amazing new laxative discovery
possesses Colonaid's great moisturis
ing capacity, plus Colonaid's stretch
stimulating bulk. So effective it re
lieves even chronic constipation over
night, Colonaid is yet so smooth, so
gentle it has proved safe even for
women in critical stages of pregnancy.
Superior to old style bulk, salt or drug
laxatives, Colonaid neither gags, '
bloats nor gripes; won't interfere with
absorption of vitamins and other valu
able food nutrients; in clinical tests,
did not cause rash or other reactions.
It's a physiological fact: Exercise tones
your body! And Colonaid exercises
your colon to tone it against constipa
tion, overnight! Get Colonaid, in
easy-to-take tablet form at any drug
counter, today! Only 98c for the 60
tablet package, brings positive relief
at less than 2c per tablet

old medium.
"What do I do at the ad
agency? Well," said Gardner
Monday. "You might call me a
kind of floorwalker. I walk from
one floor to the other to ask
guys what's going on in the
joint."
Six Months a Bum
"Actually, I only work six
months a year for the agency.
The other six months I'm a bum.
It's the way I want it. I've got
a non-nerve straining job and
I play around the edges of TV
now and that's about all I need."
Gardner, whose last TV ap
pearance was about a year ago
on the Ed Sullivan Show, will
appear on NBC-TV's "Salute to
Baseball" this weekend. He has,
he admits, shied away from TV
pretty much. His only sustained
fling in the medium was a film
ed version of "Duffy's Tavern"
which is in syndication and still
may be seen in outlying areas.
"I was stiff on TV," confessed
Gardner. "I'm not an actor. I
got into this business by accident
and when the show was done on
TV, it was the first time I had
ever worked without a script.
Old Gang Gone
""Another thing is most of the
original gang that had made
'Duffy's Tavern' on radio what
it was weren't around for TV
Shirley Booth who played the
original Duffy's daughter went
on to bigger things. Charlie
Cantor "Cliffton Finnegan" suf
fered a heart attack. And Eddie
Green "Eddie the waiter" died."
"Duffy's Tavern," which de
veloped into a variety and
comedy show, had its small be
ginnings back in the late 1930s
when Gardner created the char
acter of "Archie the manager"
for a radio opus called "This
Is New York." Gardner wound
up playing the role when other
actors failed to pan out at audi
"I guess I played Archie for
about 15 years," said Gardner.
"In 1951, I retired and my wife
and I took off for Europe. I had
made enough loot so we didn't
have to worry about dough, my
wife is French and she loves it
over there.
"Then we filmed it for TV in
Hollywood for a year and then
back to Europe again. To tell
you the truth, I had about
enough of Archie.
"However, I may get back for
a little bit in the business. It
looks like I may do some cartoon
commercials for TV, I'll do the
voices. It'll be a breeze and just
enough work to satisfy the ham
in me."
