OF SMITH & MEN
Bv Jack Smith
, (e) 1860 Timei-Mlrror Syndicate
Most men admire firemen.
Maybe It's because we went
through a fireman phase as
boys, before life squeezed us
into white collars.
Whatever crimes I commit
ted as a wrong kid, setting
fires wasn't one of them.
So I was stunned (when my
wife phoned me at work to
say that I'd, been cited as a
fire hazard.
"The Fire Department was
by for an inspection," she
said. "With their red engines
and everything."
"What have we done?" I
demanded. I was afraid I had
been reported for burning
kerosene torches at barbecues.
"It's our canyon," she ex
plained. "It's a fire hazard
We have to remove all our
dry cut flammable vegetation
They gave us two weeks."
"What's a dry cut flamma
ble vegetation?" I said. "I
never heard of such a thing!"
-
She said dry cut flammable
vegetation was the snippings
we had emptied into the can
yon from the pruning, mow
ing, trimming and amputating
of our flora over the past 10
years.
.Why did you have to throw
that stuff down there any
way?" I demanded.
"It was your Idea," she
said. "I wanted to put It in the
trash. You said It was organic
matter and In time would be
come a part of the earth again
Drivers Are Urged
To Study Road Laws
The old adage, "a little
knowledge can be a dangerous
thing," Is especially true In
the case of drivers who have
only an incomplete, perhaps
Inaccurate, knowledge of traf
fic regulations, according to
Medford Police Chief Charlos
P, Champlln,
It Is very important, " he
said, "for every driver to
know and obey all traffic
regulations all the time."
Chief Champlin added: "No
one feels safe with a person
who handles a shotgun care
lessly, yet ignorance and dis
regard for the law on the part
of a motorist can be more
dangerous than a double-barreled
weapon."
Champlin urges area drivers
to study a copy of the newest
edition of the Oregon Driver's
Manual, available at the po
lice station or the department
of motor vehicles field office.

They Couldn't Fool Shell
With a Phony Tide
Buried in the mud of the
tidal flat, the colony o Pan
ama shells awaited the incom
ing tide.
Headless and brainless, the
mollusks in the glossy, brown
mottled shells, neither moved
nor ate, nor did they have a
single thought; but they were,
however, conscious ol the ebb
and flow of the sea.
When the water receded
from their sand-flat, they hur
riedly buried themselves in
the mud, there to lie, dormant
and almost lifeless, until they
felt or sensed the inflow of
the tide.
By the lime the water cov
ered the sandflat, they were
in motion, crawling upward,
ready to feed and crawl while
the sea increased In height
above their slow moving bod
ies. Tide-time to them is feed
ing, moving, mating and liv
ing time.
We now have machines so
delicate that noises inaudible
to the normal human ear can
be heard and magnified until
they become roars or crashes.
With one of these instruments
from which it sprang. You
said it was nature's way."
"Well, it can't amount to
much anyway," I said. "What
is there - some grass, a dead
tree limb or two?"
"Boy, you should come
home and take a look!"
.
I hurried home. In the
summers I had sat on my
patio and enjoyed gazing out
over the canyon at the shim
mering view of my neighbors'
houses, I had never suspected
the organic monster that was
coming to steaming life just
over the edge of the lawn
and out of sight.
I put on tennis shoes and
descended into the spongy
tundra.' It looked like the
debris on Guadalcanal when
they went in and cut back
the jungle to build the air
field. I fell through a hole in the
morass. Something stabbed
through my tennis shoe. It
was a rusty nail.
"I'm hurt!" I cried. "Help
me out of here!"
We discovered an ugly
round red dot on the ball of
my right foot.
"I suppose I'll have to stay
off this foot as much as pos
sible," I said. "I'm afraid the
skin's punctured. I'll need a
tetanus booster."
Working week ends and aft
er school, my wife and the
two boys raised the debris to
the backyard two days before
deadline.
What they brought up cre
ated a prehistoric woods on
the lawn. One might have ex
pected to see a pterodactyl
flap overhead, shrieking.
Scattered among the dry
cut flammable vegetation, as
If washed up from a swamp,
was an odd Inventory of
weathered, Inorganic objects.
They were familiar artlfacts-
brlc-a-brac that had vanished
mysteriously from our lives
In the decade.
... A football, a chair
rocker, a tarnished bugle, a
timing fork, a tennis ball, a
manifold, a John Phillip Sou
sa record, a pepper grinder,
a dead floor lamp ...
Wc were delighted to have
these things back, as well as
to have pleased the Fire De
partment and restored our
selves to a place of respect
In the community.
But It wasn't cheap. We had
lo pay $25 to get the dry cut
flammable vegetntion hauled
away, and the tetanus booster
was $1. 1

we can actually hear the in
coming murmur of the tide;
we can hear the whisper of
its reccdence. But the lowly
Panama shell has no ears, so
it must be sensitive to the in
coming water by some built-in
sense which would be useless
to a human but essential to
the mollusk's way of life.
It might be possible, too,
that the shell feels the pres
sure of the water above it, or
it may be influenced by the
action of the moon, or even
by rising or falling barometric
pressure, or what is more
likely, to a peculiar "timing
sense" that has never been
explained.
An interesting experiment
seemed possible. An even
dozen Panama shells were
captured and carried several
miles from their home in the
sea. The shells were placed In
a large tank of sea water. Sev
eral inches of sand and mud
from their own tidal flat cov
ered the tank's bottom.
O.ver a period of several
days, sea water was slowly
flowed into the tank in the
belief the mollusks would be
kidded into thinking the tide
was coming in. Then the
water was as slowly drained
away, simulating as close as
human ingenuity could the
ebb and flow of the tide. How.
ever, the mollusks in the tank
refused to respond to this ar
tificial tidal action; they
seemed to know thL was not
the real thing.
Having been forcefully re
moved from the sea and hav
ing been away from it for
considerable time, it would
seem that the time of the tide
would have no influence on
them.
But evidently ' it did, for
whenever the tide was at the
flood ' on the beach several
miles awayi the mollusks be
came exceedingly active and
alert. When the ocean tide
miles, away was at the ebb
stage the shells remained
quiet in the mud at the hot
torn of the tank.

Message
By
THE RT. REV.
HUBERT A. MAINO
Pastor, St. Lucy's Church,
St. Clair Shores, Mich.
(Written for UPI)
Every year thousands of
voung men and women join
religious communities and
take a vow of poverty. They
renounce all worldly posses
sions for the love of God,
Many laymen, too, deprive
themselves of various indul
gences in order to help the
less fortunate. This is the
Christian answer to the evil
of materialism.
In the 10th Commandment,
God had said through Moses:
"Thou shalt not covet thy
neighbor's goods." But Christ
in His Sermon on the Mount,
went further. He added "Thou
shalt not covet any worldly
goods.
This Is the meaning of the
first of the Eight Beatitudes;
"Blessed are the poor In spirit
for theirs is the Kingdom ol
Heaven." They who arc poor
in spirit may be actually en
dowed with much or little of
this world's goods. But their
hearts remain detached from
riches.
Opposed to the virtue of de
tachment is the vice called
avarice, the lust for earthly
possessions.
In more Christian times the
repulslveness of avarice was
perhaps better understood
than it is today. Money lend
ers and merchants were not
honored figures in medieval
society. Their love of gain, it
was felt, did not harmonize
with Christian ideals.
In our day, however, men
have almost succeeded in
transforming avarice into a
virtue. Even certain profes
sing Christians tend to meas
ure success by the dollar sign.
Some have only a puzzled
sort of pity tor the fool who
has the brains to make a for
tune but prefers to serve hu
manity in scholarship, govern
ment, art or religion.
"More goods for more peo
ple" may be good business.
But It is not necessarily good
Christianity.
Increased production Is good
when it means a decent life
(or the destitute. But the sys
tematic effort to create dis
content with present stand
ards of living, to sharpen sense
appetites, to Intensify earthly
desires Is to pervert the peo
ple. Becoming "poor in spirit"
is a necessity for the 20th cen
tury Christian.
A sense of detachment is an
indispensable prop of our spir
itual heritage. Without it we
become slaves of mammon, in
servitude to sensuality, world
lincss, materialism. We cease
to be followers of Christ,
Whose ' kingdom Is not of this
world."
