Deep Friendship
Karl said the statement was is-
sued to answer reports that llhce
had agreed to accept an armistice
on assurances of United States
military and economic support.
The statement said there was
deep-rooted friendship between the
U.S. and South Korea which had
been accentuated by the blood
shed by young men of both na-
tions. but that acceptance of the
new UN plan would be equivalent
to receiving a "doalh sentence."
"We sec no reason at all why
such an agreement should be
called an armistice. As long as
Hie Chinese remain in Korea our
past attitude toward a cease fire
will remain irrevocable."
COLLEGE STATION — Light-
ning kills 400 people and injures
1,000 others every year in the Unit-
ed States. And reports the Nation-
al Safety Council, 90 percent of
these fatalities occur in rural
areas. In addition, lightning is a
major cause of farm fires — about
20 million dollars worth of farm
property is destroyed annually.
According to W. S. Allen, agri-
cultural engineer for the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service,
here's about what happens in an
electrical storm. As summer storm
clouds gather on hot humid after-
noons, electrical energy builds up
in them. When the electrical po-
tential becomes strong enough to
break through the insulating layer
of air, a giant spark — lightning —
is produced.
Allen says lightning flashes may
occur within a cloud, between
clouds or between a cloud and the
earth or projecting objects. The
heated air along the zigzagging
path of the lightning expands rap-

NEW ORLEANS, June 3-UP—

POSSE HUNTS SLAYER
LAKE CHARLES, La., June 3—
UP—A 30-man posse cautiously
combed swampy wooded lowlands
of South Louisiana Wednesday for
a tall, husky Negro named as Hie
slaver of a deputy sheriff.
The heavily-armed officers used
bloodhounds in an effort to track
down the slayer of Ah Goss, about
50. who was fatally wounded Tues-
day night when he sought to ques-
tion a man found sleeping in a
stolen car.
Idly and the resulting rolling
sound waves make thunder. Allen
explains that sound travels 1,100
feet per second in air, so if there
is a 10 second wait between the
time you see the flash and hear the
thunder, it means the lightning is
about two miles away. And for
what it’s worth, he says if you
are struck by lightning you'll neith-
er hoar the thunder or see the flash.
With millions of volts and thous-
ands of ampers spent in a fraction
of a second, lightning has tre-
mendous power and will destroy or
damage any object which tends to
resist or obstruct its passage, in
areas where thunderstorms are fre-
quent and iutense, Allen says all
important farm buildings should
be protected against lightning.
If you have a choice of shelters
during an electrical storm, choose
them in the following order, says
Allen. Get in a building that is
protected from lightning or one
constructed of metal or framed
with metal; an automobile with a
metal top and body or in unpro-
tected buildings.
In every case, it is best to stay
away from open doors or win-
dows, fireplaces, stoves, piping or
other metal objects. Do not go
outside nor remain out during
thunderstorms unless necessary,
says Allen. If caught in a thunder-
storm, stay away from small sheds
and shelters in exposed locations,
isolated trees, wire fences and hill-
tops and large open spaces where
protection is not provided by taller
objects.
On the other hand, seek shelter
in a cave, a depression in the
ground, a deep valley or canyon,
the foot of a steep or overhanging
cliff or in a dense grove of trees,
says Allen.
If the worst should happen and
a person becomes unconscious from
a stroke of lightning, call a doctor
and apply the same emergency
treatment recommended for an
electrical shock. The immediate
application of artificial respiration
is very important points out the
specialist for tn addition to caus-
ing burns, the passing of an elec-
tric current through the body often
paralyzes the nerves and muscles
thus affecting the heart and breath-
ing mechanism.
Thunderstorms will become more
frequent with the arrival of sum-
mer weather and Allen says don’t
take unnecessary risks when they
are in progress. If important build-
ings on your farm are not pro-
tected. against lightning, it might
he a mightv good business invest-
ment to give them the needed
protection.
