"Pals, Dear Old Pals" â€" Maybelle, the three-gaited mare, puckers up for n kiss after Polly, the parrot, broke the sad new« that the two pals must soon part. They're fellow thespians, members of the Railroad Fair, but soon they'll be auctioned off for less glamorous roles. THIFAEM PEONT Jokix12iwJeLl :.4<«fc&MJk::^ -^ "There's nothing sure," according 10 the old saying, "but death and taxes." Maybe «o. But I wouldn't mind making a small wager that there are at least a couple of things almost as sure ai the certainties in the saying. • « « First is that along about next December, if you were to listen etrefiilly to your radio, you would hear somebody singing "I'm Long- ing for a White Christmas" or else "Holy Night." Possibly both. • • * Second â€" that if you scanned all the Farm Columns published throughout the land, along about this season you would find some advice about how to store fruit and vegelahlcs for winter use. Now that you've been warned, you can either read on or take a second look at our Fall Fair pictures. The advice whicli follows is that of D. 'V. Fisher, a Federal Department of .ARricnlture specialist. • « • Freshness and flavour can be re- tained, and wastage reduced to a miniiniiin by careful attention in providing the correct temperature and hinnidity conditions necessary for good storage. A room that can be held at approximately 40 degrees, and at a relative humidity of 80 to 90 per cent provides generally satis- factory storage for mo:=t fruit and vegct;il)Ies. « ♦ If the homeowner is fortunate enough to have a cool frost-free basement or a cool provision room, he can store hia winter supply of potatoes, carrots, beets, turnips, onions and apples with a minimum, of care. This room sfiould prefer- ably bt insulated from' the rest of the house and placed on the north side of the building with a window which can be opened and closed. • • • The room should contain a ther- mometer and in fall and spring weather, the window opened at - sight and closed in the day time - to obtain the advantage of eool . aight air. In the winter time the window may b« slightly opened or kept entirely slosed as required to keep temperaturs from dropping be- 'tow about 58 dag. F, which U as .' low as potatoes should be stored. • • • ; Even with proper control of tem- ^â- erature, commodities such as emb- Mgt, carrots, beets, turnips and •pplai suffer ssvsrely from wilting â- M not protected from low humidity. The humidity of the storage room can be maintained at a fairly satis- factory level by keeping damp peat moss or sawdust under a slatted false floor. t • * However, even under these con- ditions carrot), turnips and beets suffer from shrivelling and theae vegetables should be placed in boxes and covered with slightly damp sand or peat moss so as just to cover the top layer. Stored in this way, carrots may be removed in fresh, bright turgid condition in May. The window in the storage room should be darkened as much as possible to prevent sprouting and greening of potatoes, onions and carrots. * * • For the city apartment family who buy their vegetables only a few days ahead of use, the refriger- ator vegetable crisper should be need freely to maintain freshness of leafy vegetable? Carrots, beets, turnips and cabbage should be left in as cool a place as possible, and enclosed in cellophane bags or other fairly moisture proof con- tainer to reduce shrivelling to a minimum. Proper care of fresh produce redues waste and improves palatability. P.S. : I don't know what "Turgid" means cither, but that's what the man said. REAL SERVICE A man boarded a train at New York and told the porter: "Now, porter, here's $.S. I want you to wake me tomorrow morning and g«t me off this train at South Bend. I sleep heavily, and I'll fight you and tell you anything to go on sleeping, but get me off this train at South Bend. The porter thanked him and promised the man he'd get him off at South Bend for sure. However, the next day the man woke up In Chicago, with South Bend far bo- bind. He stormed up to the porter, wfao was talking to the conductor, and told him off in no unccrtaisi terms before he went to get a train baok to South Bend. "My, that man was attgry," aaid the conductor. "That nuthin'," aaid the portar. "You should of heard the man I (Hd put off at Soutlh Bend."

Three years ago Rocky Graziano was banishedâ€" on account of variuUk delinquencies, misdemeanors and so forth â€" from New York Rings. Fight fans whose memories travel back that far will probably recall that, at the time, it looked very much as though the banishment would be permanent. • • * For there wasn't the slightest doubt that Kocky had been a bad, bad boy. His record in war and in peace, in the ring and out of it, was â€"to put it mildly â€" pedicular. Ex- cepting for one quality, Graziano had about as much chance of ever again appearing before a Manhattan fight mob as â€" well, as Joe Stalin has of being elected president of the Canadian Manufacturers' Associa- tion. » * » But that particular quality hap- pened to be exactly the one which, in the fight racket, covers all the sins in the entire calendar. Rocky Graziano could always draw the cash customers in highly-paymg quantities; and what between a suc- cession of sour tights and an in- creasing number of boxing bugs who preferred to take the sport in comfort, over the teleo waves, char- acters of his ilk were badly needed. So nobody at all famiHar with the screwy happenings of sportdom, es- pecially the pugilistic section there- of, was too greatly astounded when the word came tha^ between Rocky and the New York boxing solons, all had been forgiven and forgotten. (Perhaps "forgotten" is going a trifle too far. We, personally, have a suspicion that if Rocky had failed to draw a gate, or given a poor ac- count of himself, he might agaia have found himself on the outside, looking wistfully in.) » * ♦ But this, like all proper sport tales â€"except a few that the late Ring Lardner wrote â€" has a happy ending. A week or so ago, as he strode ring- wards in the Polo Grounds, his head swung • from side to side, and his beady black eyes seemed to be â€" and probably wereâ€" engaged in the good old custom of mentally "counting the house ' , . ., vt-lr- -"-^"* What those eyes saw .. must :^yc been reassuring. For 4here we^^^Jt a few short of thirty->two thouS^d* sports lovers, and the sKbuts which ' rang in his ears were, on the whole, friendly. Thirty-two thousand ara s whole lot of people to attend & non-title fight of any kind thesa days â€" and that was â- wFTat Rocky was engaged in, his opponent Charlie Fusari belongiijg to another stratum of boxing soriply, tlie wtIih >â-  eiRht division. Rocky's tlircc years of exile hadn't dewinded the balloon of his self- •onhdence to any noticeable degree. "I'll take care of the salami in one round or less" was his boast, and he tore out of his corner with a scowl on his countenance as though he expected Fusari to jump the ropes from sheer fright. * * * Fusari, however, just plain refus- «d to acare. And for the biggest part of the first nine rounds Mr. Graziano looked as though he had forgotten to pack his fighting ability along with the s«lf-confidence. Most of hii swings missed Fusari by at least a foot; and once he lunged ao tlumsily at his shiftiar opponent that he fell flat on his face. ♦ ♦ » All the while Fusari was doing a Btat job of pinkin; on the Graziano Itttures, scoring with left jabs and opening eye-cuts with solid right hands. Going into the final round, the officials' score cards showed Fusari out in front and, in all prob- ability, a decisive winner on points. « « * And thenâ€" well, either Fusari just plain ran out of gas, or else Rocky managed to get a refill from some- where. Graziano, with his bleeding mouth wide open in that old familiar snarl kept boring in, hurting Fusari BOW, finally slamming Charlie into tht ropes and cluhbinR him to the floor. Fusari gamely yot up; but by now Rocky had too much strength. He kept Charlie trapped against the ropes, wedged into a corner and â€" according to some observers â€" liter- ally choking him with one hand while banging him unmercifully with the other. (He might very well have been disqualifiedâ€" but somehow or other, those crowd-drawers and mob-pleasers don't appear to dis- qualify as ri':Hlilv as less rolorful hnxers 1 So the light was stopped, and victory given to Graziano, with fifty-six seconds still to go in the tenth round. Rocky's reaction to victory was typical of the man. "Don't 1 do a real job on them welterwciKhbr ' he crowed dcliRht- edly â€" coinplitclv overlooking the fact that he, as a iniddlcwoiglit, hail enjoyed a 12 pimud edge in the weights, and that it was the referee that had stopped the fight, not he that stopped Fusari.

Then later, when reporters asked Rocky how he thought he would do •gainst a man his own size and weight â€" Champion Jake LaMott* for example, Graziano lomehow or other seemed to lose his cockiness. "After all, me and Jake LaMotta is good frieodi" wag his reply. Just a big, sweet, lovable kid â€" more sinned •gainst than sinning, is probably the best thumbnail description you could dig up for Rocky Graziano, we sup- pose, unless you had five seconds or so to think up a better one. But as we promised you earlier, this is a proper fight tale, the kind with a happy ending, Charlie Fusari k)st nothing, not even prestige, through hii defeat. Matter >of fact he'll probably be in line for better bouts, more lucrative purses, be- ••uae of hit showing. And as for our hero â€" well, Rocky Graziano is ta tine for "the important dough" once again. We haven't heard, as yet, of any Hollywood studio ready- ing a picture based on Rocky's life. But, judging of the future by the P«st, it shouldn't be long now. Ancient Redwoods Hundreds of seedlings oi the Dawn Redwood, the ancient cousin of the California Redwoods recent- ly discovered in China, have been planted along the Pacific Coast from Alaska to Guatemala by Dr. Ralph W. Chaney, who has just re- turned from a fossil-hunting ex- psdition to Oregon and British Co- lumbia. Dr. Chaney last year went to China to convince himself that ketasequoia, ai the Dawn Red- wood is known to scientists, thought to have become extinct 20,000,000 years ago, is still thriving. He stu- died the living trees in China's in- Itrior, and brought back foiir seed- lings and thousands of seeds. Fossils of the tree unearthed by Dr. Chanty «nd others indicate that k once ranped from '\la.<ika to California. Hifirh-Speed Scales An electronic scale that weighs tiveitock at public markets with high accuracy and speed has been developed. The weighing is done through electrical impulses. When •ertain buttons are pres-sed, the weight, number and type of snimal, name of the weigher and selling agency, and the date and time of weighing are automatically printed. The scale is accurate to within five pounds on loads up to .'2.000 pounds. Doctor, Doctor! The Cadillac has a new, higher- compression engine.
