East BiEgs. Calif. V Retired
farmer Ben Harrison Johnson
has a hobby that possibly beats
them all collecting anything.
He claims that any familiar
object of the last century can
probably be found in his house,
garage or barn.
"I collect anything I think
some day may be a relic." says
Johnson. "It's really hard for
someone to pick up things of
years ago that are in good condi
tion. I have these tilings because
I have been saving them."
However, not all of the 70-year-old
collector's prized items
are dated within the past 100
years. He possesses wood carv
ings reputed to be several hun
dred years old. a Mohammedan
prayer hook, holder some 1.400
years old and Egyptian coins
from 800 A D.
Sell any of these? Here's what
Ben says to that:
"The things I am saving to
pass on to my family are not for
sale. You should see some of the
professional collectors fighting
over some of my things."
Three of the biggest pieces of
the huge gathering of items arc
a 1907 motorcycle, a 1915 auto
and the enclosed horse buggy
used on this Butte County
town's first mail route.
Other automotive collections
include a wide variety of fit
tings for oldtime, cars plus auto
emblems running from the first
horseless carriage to the newest
sports car. And he needs only
Maine's license plate to have
one from each of the 48 states.
Foreign plates dot the showcase.
Still not satisfied. Johnson
boasts of possessing wagon fit
tings thought to be part of the
ill-fated Donncr Party's tragic
trip over the Sierra range into
California. For these he searched
Donner Summit for days. Other
prairie schooner artifacts include
a buffalo meat and sausage
grinder, lanterns and cooking
utensils.
Numbered among his oilier
collections are stamps, Indian
stonps, cabinet maker's wooden
planes, bullet moulds, musket
shot and a musket. Others arc
buttons, belt buckles, colored
woods, wood carvings, marble
topped furniture and war souve
nirs. The gray-haired curator of
what has become practically a
home museum has gone far and
wide to gather these things

weather problems here and now

about the weather so far as

low temperatures which could
harm plant growth. i

Washington HP Because
Harry E. Neal was 'asked 16
years ago to w rite some material

cret Service has lost one of its

Iildrd F. It's all so simple
. . . we should marry.
Leonard J. Sixteen years is
a big difference.
Mildrl F. I am a divorcee of
32. very much in love with a
widower of 48. We have known
one another for three years and
finve been dating steadily. I
would lovp to marry Leonard,
but he is full of doubts and hesi
tations. There is not only the question
of the difference in our ages,
but the fact that Leonard has
three children and I have none.
I love his children dearly and
would certainly think of them as
rny own. If we have more chil

shouldn't. I would always feel
that I have a family.
It seems to me that it is all
very simple and I don't really
see what Leonard is worrying
about if h loves me as he says
he does. We are so compatible
that all our friends say we seem
. like a long-married couple.
Leonard J. I do love Mildred
and think she is very sweet to
treat the difference in our ages
so lightly, but she is really a ro
mantic girl and doesn't want to
look the facts square in the face.
Sixteen years is really a very

young woman.
Also, it doesn't seem fair to
burden a young woman like Mil
dred with a whole family. She

ti e kids, but she is more like a

When I see them together, I feel

to he raising any more children
and it doesn't seem fair to de

Th Council: Mildred appears
to lace her situation realistically.
Her optimism seems reasonable
in tjiew of the fact that she has
found a man and family she

Xre i.rubiern here is nut o
much the difference in ages, but
Leonard's obsessive worry about
his advanced age. This middle
age anxiety would probably have
come to him whether or not the
question of marriage to Mildred
had arisen.
Instead of plaguing himself
with vague doubts and worries.
Leonard should go to the doctor
for a thorough physical checkup.
He may find that some medica
tion will improve his state of
mind. But further than that, he
should discuss his anxieties
about marriage to Mildred with
the doctor.
He may learn that he hasn't
got even his big toe in the grave
yet. Armed with the knowledge
of what he can expect of himself
in the years ahead, he should be
able to make a more rational de
cision about this marriage.

Cotton Pests Show
Chemical Resistance
Riverside. Calif. IP The
bugs learn fast. Two important
cotton pests now are showing
signs of resistance to certain
widely used chemicals.
University of California scien-
i tists here report that two species
of red spider mites can survive
repeated doses of organic phos
phorus insecticides.
"Potentially." said Dr. Har
old T. Reynolds, "this is a seri
ous situattion. Growers have re
lied on organic phosphorus com
pounds for mite control in cot
ton. Now it looks as though in
time this group of related com
pounds may lose much of its ef
fectiveness against some of our
important kinds of mites."
After 31 years with the Secret
Service during which he rose
from stenographer to assistant to
the chief Neal has retired to de
vote full time to writing books
and articles.
His spare time writing since
his "Know Your Money" assign
ment in 1940, has produced three
non-fiction books and many mag
azine articles. He has a contract
for a fourth book and is doing
research for an historical novel.
"I guess if it hadn't been for
that assignment." he said, "I nev
er would have written any
thing." Neal. the father of two. has
never drawn on his Secret Serv
ice experiences for book mate
rial. If he ever does, the story
of how he became an agent will
be one of the most exciting chap
ters. He came to Washington from
Pittsfield, Mass., in 1925 as a
Post Office Department stenog
rapher. Craving excitement, lie
transferred the following year to
the Secret Service, still as a sten
ographer. Accompanied Agents
One night in 1931 he accom
panied a group of agents raiding
the New York home of a sus
pected counterfeiter. Through a
basement window Neal and the
agents saw a man stuff some;
thing into a furnace.
The agents rushed the house.
Neal dashed for the furnace,
plunged his arm into the flames,
and retrieved what the man had
tried to get rid of a negative
containing the impression of a
$10 bill.
The stenographer's superiors
recommended that Neal be com
missioned an agent, and he was
soon wearing the badge of a Se
cret Service man.
When he turned in his badge
recently, he was presented with
an honorary gold one worn only
by members of a select group
that includes President Eisen
hower and the Secret Service
chief, U. E. Baughman.
Treasury Secretary Humphrey
gave him the Exceptional Civil
ian Service Award, the depart
ment's highest accolade.
