Herd District At
Matlock To Take
Effect Next Year
A herd district to prohibit the
running at large of stock will be
formed in August of 1950 in the
Deckervillc area west of Matlock,
county commissioners ruled Mon-
day.,
Tile commissioners said that the
open-range provisions now in ef-
fect there will continue for one
year, but farmers were advised
to start getting their fent2es in
shape before the closing date next
year.
A ItEARING on the herd dis-
trict proposal, petitioned by resi-
dents in the Matlock area, was
held at the courtimuse Monday
with about 40 persons present.
No discussion was heard.
Sections covered by the herd
district order include 8, 17 and
:18 in township 20 north, range
6 west.
A petition was received Ion-
day ly the commissioners for
the vacation of Bennett street in
Allyn, and a hearing was sched-
uled for 2 p.m. Scptcmber 7 at
the courthouse.

Lawn Cutting Now
Is Noteworthy Art
'Lawn mowing mean:.; norc Lhan
pushing a mower around the lot,
according to Andy KruiswylL
county extension agent.
It can mean the (lifferenee be-
tween a good-looldng lawn and a
poor one, even though'the lawn is
otherwise l)roperly cared for.
How close to mow a lawn is
decided first by the type of grass
predominating. If it's bent grass
then close cutting of one-fourth
to three-fourth inch high is recom-
mended because the blades of
bent do not grow upright as other
grasses and the stem structure is
shorter, enabling the plants to
thrive under close mowing.
MOST HOME LAWNS grow in
a more upright position. Because
their stem structure is greater,
they th;'ive much better under
"high" cutting of a mininmm of
lb inch,2s. The grass blades are
the digestive system of the plant.
Close cutting removes this part
of the plant and make,; the lawu
anemic even with plenty of food
in tim soil.
Closely-mown l:?wn are move
subject to weed invasion. A prop-
erly cut lawn holds up the weed
so that [he mower will chop off
its leave:;. Although insect and
turf diseases may attack g'ras:; at
any time, tall grass is heMthier
than short grass so the damage
to tall grv,::; woUhl be less.
(lllASS OF proper hcight saves
water bceatme the taller d n d
thicker foliage checks evaporation
and reduces Soil erosion. "
It's better to mow too often
than not enough, the agents points
out. If cutting is neglected and
' • " o
:too much o ih grass plant is
i suddenly whadkcd off, the t)lant
gets a ;evcre shock. If clippings
are longer than one-half inch they
should be removed. \\;¥hencxer
ip)in,tls are x,et II'l(I
cl. l .," '- :-. thick they
should also be rcmtvcd. But hOrt
clil)pings work down into the Im'f
and form a beneficial mulch, con-
serving moisture a n d shading
weed seeds.
Because some of the clii)pinlzn
will decay, part of every spring
and :fall htwn.renovation program
should be a brisk z'akin4 to tee
move accumulated clippings.
I Capitol Hill Water
(Continued from page 1)
dents were offered the company
for one third of the contract price
required to build the system, but
they refused it."
In trying to work out some so-
lution to the water dilemma,
Armstrong said that about a year
ago he trod gone about the com-
munity gathering names on a peti-
t.ion asking to join Capitol Hill
to Shelton. "But I couldn't get
enough support on the move and
it failed," he said.
Armstrong said that the 280 t
individuals being served by the i
company were using an average I
of 392 gallons of water a day l
each.
FIGURES FROM the Mason ',
County Health Department put I,
average consumption of water at I
50 gallons per day per individual I
on a meter basis, and :100 gallons I
a day per individual on a flat-
/ rate basis
"As a simple statement of fact," I
I Armstrong stressed, "we can't !
; continue to operate, so we won't." i
City commissioners Tuesday had i
no comment to make on the situ-
ation, the problem being up to[
the people of Capitol Hill. I

In Plane Playing
}Settles In Shelton
A marathon piano player who
holds the world's record for con-
tinuous playing is now in Shelton
to make his home.
Bill Hajek moved here recently
from Port Angeles to establish a
i business dealing in the sales of
fall types of Baldwin pianos. He
i has been playing for the Shelteen-
ers at Memorial Hall for their
weekly dance sessions.
Hajek's accomplishments were
brought to the attention of The
Journal in a Ripley "Believe It
Or Not" cartoon that showed he
played tbe piano continuously for
17 days and 17 nights to estab-
lish a new world's record.
Not only having gained national
attention for his piano marathons,
in which he holds three world
records, Hajek also has composed
several songs for publication and
has toured with such nationally-
known entertainers as A1 Pierce,
Gene Austin and the Hilton Sis-
ters.
To get sufficient strength to
play a piano dontinuously for over
two weeks with only ten minutes
rest each hour, Hajek said that
he trained like a boxer. He is a
former piano player for mara-
thon dances.
In displaying the strength in
his hands he broke a granite rock

Accident Injuries
Most dangerous seat .in a pas-
senger car is the right front seat
beside the driver. Accident statis-
tics show that more severe injur-
ies are suffered by occupants of
this seat than any ofher ;seat in
the car when a collision occurs.
Only more caution and Courtesy
on the part of automobile drivers
will reduce materially motor ve-
hicle accidents despite great im-
provements in brakes, tires, all-
steel bodies and window visibility.
But Chrysler has made a definite
effort in its Silver Anniversary;
models to: minimize the serious-
ness of I)asscngqr injuries when an
accident or sudden :;top does oc-
CtU'.
On the rightside of the Chrys-
ler dashboard, extending from the
right of the steering column to
the right door,$is a cushion of
sponge rubber three-quarters of an
inch thick. This cushion is cov-
ered with leather which harmon-
izes with the car's upholstery. The
safety cushion is 37 inches
across and 2A inches wide.
The safety cushion is not in-
tended as a deterrent to accidents
nor a substitute for safe driving.
But it is an effective safety mea-
sure for the protection of front
seat passengers in case of colli-
sion or a sudden stop,
A study by the Detroit Police
Department showed that of t80
cars involved in reported acci-
dents for a typical ,month, 302
cars carried passengers in addi-
tion to the driver. In 289 of the
302 multiple occupant cars, 372
persons were tnJured. And 248 of
the injured passengers,, or 69 per
cent, were riding in the right
front seat.
This same accident s u r v e y
showed that while only abott one
of every 'two drivers was injured
in cars involved in accidents in
this particular month, approxi-
mately four out of five right front
seat accupants were hurt during
the same period if the car was in
a crash.
Another report on this same
subject of accident injul'ies was
made by a prominent Detroit
plastic surgeon. He classes the
right front seat as the most dan-
gerous in tle car because of the
passenger's relatively unprotected
position. An investigation of 50
consecutive persons who came to
him for plastic urgery showed
that 34, or" 68 per cent, had sus-
tained their injuries wtule occupy-
ing the right front seat. The other
16 injured were divided evenly be-
tween the driver's seat and the
rear seat. Most injuries involve the
forehead, nose, mouth and cheeks.
Children sitting in parents laps
or standing in the right front area
ahead of the seal arc especially
vulnerable to injury in case of a
sudden stop. The Chrysler safety
cushion is designed to prevent or
minimize such injuries. Children
can ride in Lhe front seat of a
Chrysler 'with less danger and
much less anxiety on the part of
the parents due to the presence
of the sponge rubber safety cush-
ion,, ,'
3 Shelton Fires
Wreak Damages
Three fires in Shelton since
Sunday resulted in about $300
damage, severely endangered a
i family that was sleeping, and gave
the city fire department good
workouts.
Mr. and Mrs. H. Taylor and
their children were asleep in a
large frame house, at 628 Elli-
nor street when a fire at 1 45 a.
m. Tuesday burned up a wall and
into a roof.
MRS. TAYLOR hai3pened to
wake up as the flames were lick-
ing over the windows outside and
raced to get the rest of the fam-
ily to safety. A neighbor noti-
fi'ed the fire department and the
blaze was stopped. Damages to-
talled about $200.
Fire Chief Theodore Deer said
that the fire started from un-
known causes outside the house
and flared up the wall. The house
is owned by Sybell Taylor.
IN ANOTIIER FIRE at 11:57
p.m. Sunday an oil burner on a
locomotive at the Simpson Log-
ging Company roundhouse at the
Shelton waterfront backfired and
burned the lokie's cab. The blaze
was put out quicldy, and damage
came to around $100, Deer said.
An overloaded fireplace at the
home of R. Peacock at First and
Cedar streets threw flames up the
chimney early Sunday evening,
and city firemen were called.
There was no damage.
