“The Totem Pole”
Harrisburg, September
9—Some of the State’s leading chest-
thumpers are down in the dumps these days. :
It seems that the requests of Democratic and Republican leaders
hereabouts to the effect that they would like to have their respective
national campaigns open up in Pennsylvania, with speeches by the
presidential candidates, fell about
as flat as an egg dropped on con-
crete from an airplane 15,000 feet
up.
Democrats felt confident not so
long ago that Little Old Harry
could be persuaded to orate for the
labor bid with a soapbox affair in
highly industrialized Pittsburgh this
past Labor Day weekend.
But the powers-that-be in Wash-
ington decreed otherwise, and the
Nation’s No. 1 donkey-rider jogged
off to Detroit, another labor capital
for his first pitch of the current
season.
With this set-back, Pennsyl-
vania’s Democratic leaders hope be-
spectacled Mr. Truman will stop
by for a few major speeches later
in the campaign; if not that, pos-
sibly one major speech; if not that,
perhaps a flag-stop at some rail-
road station, and if not that, per-
haps a wave of the hand as his
train whisks through the Keystone
State.
But the Democrats are not alone
in their misery, GOP leaders were
plugging for Tom Dewey, the Re-
publican standard-bearer, to open
his rip-snorter in this State.
GOPsters in Pittsburgh wanted
the black-thatched elephant-riding
maharaja to sound off in Pitts-
burgh September 11. Then the
good folk of Philadelphia got word
of what was in the wind and they
wanted the good Governor of New
York State to cackle in their home-
town.
However the latter proposal
brought numerous frowns from
party big-wigs who apparently felt
that one scandal in the GOP ma-
chine there is enough at one time.
Consequently neither -Mr. Dewey
nor Mr. Truman will put their toes
within the confines of the State at
the outset of the campaign, but
it is expected that they will ride
into this 4,000,000-vote stronghold
—with trumpets a-blare—later in
the campaign. J
“Why son, I've never seen such
fiddle-de-daddle,” growled Gram-
paw Pettibone testily. “Here's one)
of the biggest prizes to be had
right here in Pennsylvania and|
_ both Dewey and Truman wrangle
out of the idea. Needless to say
the boys who hold the reins of
each party here in the Keystone
into any lather over what their
presidential candidate has done.”
From this vantage point in the
shade of the mulberry bush the
Miracles of
Modernization
Why should we endure the
equipment and accommoda-
tion of a past generation
when present-day practice
makes it possible to have
and enjoy modern facilities
and equipment?
Do you know that you can
have and enjoy now a mod-
ern kitchen or bathroom by
financing through a low-
cost bank Loan.
Why not drop in and see
us and learn how easily you
can have those improve-
ments now that you hope
may be yours at some
future date? Arrangements
for repayment can be made
for a period as long as three
years.

Folks call 'em sprains—scientific
fellows refer to them by their ana-
tomical structure, such as ‘“rup-
ture of the deltoid ligament.”
By whatever name, this injury
needs care and proper treatment.
Many persons feel a sprain does
not need the attention of a phy-
sician, that time will heal it and
so they limp around, use crutches,
or go to bed, and suffer.
A sprain is defined as a “wrench
or strain resulting in stretching or
laceration of the soft parts without
external wound.”
Most of the leading professional
athletic teams carry their own
trainers who handle this supposedly
minor type of point or muscle in-
jury without calling in a physician.
They treat this group of injuries
with massage and active motion,
which is about what the doctor
would order.
One of the leading advisory
coaches for Olympic teams reports
that trainers will work all night
with an ankle sprain, icing and
massaging it until the pain is re-
lieved, keeping the ankle moving
and then taping it to prevent swell-
ing. h
The chief objective in treating
an ankle sprain is control of swell-
ing.
This is done by proper massage,
gentle motion, and accurate sup-
port.
Active motion is continued to
regulate the circulation of the
blood through the foot and prevent
stasis, or stoppage of the flow of
blood to the ankle.
DO YOU KNOW?
Last year there were 17,000
deaths and 2,000,000 injuries as a
result of industrial accidents, with
one worker injured every second
of the day.
old sage pointed /a bony finger in
the direction of his side-kick,
Throckmorton P. Twillingforde, who
was contentedly snoozing in ‘the

somewhat of a quake in his voice:
“My boy, there are some others
who are going to be caught napping
if something isn’t done soon. I'm
referring specifically to the Demo-
crats right here. They started out
like a house afire a few months
ago—and now the fire seems to
have died out. Just because Harry
isn’t here is no reason to sit down
and go to sleep.”

THE LOW DOWN FROM
HICKORY GROVE
a E BB
You know, our hired hands
down there on the wide and
wandering Potomac keep talk-
ing high prices and how
heaven and earth must be
moved to lower same. And all
this goes on just as though
these same agents had no
finger in the pie of bringing
on the dilemma. Queer chaps.
They been chief cooks there
for years—have helped most in
foozling the soup. And now,
"instead of doing what they
ought to do—admit ‘their er-
ror or guilt, or whatever you
choose to call it—they point
elsewhere.
What should they do, says
Henry. Let ’em consult, I says,
that old Virginian, Harry Byrd,
suh!—and pay heed. He can
point out exactly where to
operate. Our ailment is “Econ-
omic gout,” brought on by too
much Govt. in our diet. One
million more folks than ever
before needed to run the Govt.
in peace times, is now inter-
fering with our digestion—we
are clear off our feed. By elim-
inating an excess load of one
million from our back, we can
shave around 6000 million
bucks per year from taxes.
Six thousand million bucks off
our bent back, per year, should
sure help everybody’s budget—
and tranquility—and it sounds
like a powerful sensible, horse-
sense procedure.
Alright then, says Henry, if
it is going to take a major kind
of operation, like you say, why
not have it soon, and before
more complications and even
higher prices set in—answer
me that. You are seeing the
light, I says.
Yours with the low down,

a) Barnyard Notes §
AN UNUSUAL VISITOR
He dropped into my office with a grin upon his face,
He talked about the weather and the college football race,
He asked about the family and he told the latest joke,
But he never mentioned anyone who's suddenly gone broke.
He talked of books and pictures and the play he'd been to see,
A clever quip his boy had made he passed along to me.
He praised the suit of clothes I wore, and asked me what it cost,
But never said a word about the money he had lost.
He was with me twenty minutes, chuckling gaily while he stayed,
O’er the memory of some silly little blunder he had made.
He reminded me that tulips must be planted in the fall,
But calamity and tragedy he mentioned not at all.
I thought it rather curious, when he had come and gone,
He must have had some tales of woe, but did not pass them on,
For nowadays it seems to me that every man I meet
Has something new in misery and moaning to repeat.
And so I write these lines for him, who had his share of woe
But still could talk of other things, and let his troubles go;
I was happier for his visit—in a world that’s sick with doubt,
"Twas ‘good to meet a man who wasn’t spreading gloom about.
—From California Oil World.

The above verse was sent to the Barnyard this week by “Doc”
Jeter of First National Bank.
We are indebted to Jack Richardson for the following verse.
Jack distributed hundreds of copies last week through his
regular mailings.
I SAW HIM DIE
I saw him die
His large blue childish eyes
Looked up at me from the hard street
As though he knew
That he could never rise
And then he spoke
With just a touch of triumph in his voice
Please tell my Mama that I didn’t cry
And as I held his hand and breathed a prayer
I saw him die.
The autos still dash madly where he lay
Machines of steel which crave their human toll
And our lax laws are powerless to stay
These demon drivers into self control
Would they had knelt as I did by his side
And looked into his blue eyes
When he died. -
Many persons look upon the police officer as a heartless
creature who preys on helpless motorists and takes a fiendish
delight in watching the offenders squirm when faced with the
inevitable penalty for their mis-deeds.
The verses above reflegy the feelings of the ayerage traffic
officer when called upon to perform one of the saddest of his
manifold duties.
