(AT) ? Lanky dear* Lttia loves elephants *1 though they have almost -been the death ot him. Siaca 1827, Lewis has ban an elephant handler for circaaes and aoaa and he wouldnt trade hia job for any in the warld. He has had aeveral close calls with death, la 1037, when he waa elephant handler at Chicago's Brookfield Zoo, Ziegfield, the zoo's meanest elephant once owned by Showman Flo Ziegfield, went oo a rampage. Lewis doesn't know how he lived ta tell about it. Ziegfield waa pretty mean when the showman sold him to the Zoo but he became meaner when the too set him up in housekeeping with a mate. "They all go bad during that stage," Lewis says. "Some tame down later on and some don't. "Anyway, Ziegfield curled back his trunk and caught me right in the middle. The blow knocked me 50 feet and before I could get up he was right on top of me. "He tried to gore me. I must have moved just right because, as I turned over on my side, the tusks went past me and buried in the 4 ground. Finally, he raised up and I caught hold of one of his ears and rode right up with him. I start ed to gouge my hand into his eye, but noticed he stood there like he was stunned. I guess he couldn't figure out why he hadn't killed me." Lewis says even before his nerves settled down he went back into the yard and led the big ani mal around without any trouble. Ziegfield is still alive and consid ered the biggest in the United States'. Most elephants are easy to train, Lewis believes, but there's got to be a "certain feeling between you and the animal. You've got to love them and they'll love you." Lewis says that many of the com mon beliefs about elephants' hab its are nonsense. The theory that elephants are afraid of mice is just supposition. Lewis explained that any small animal that moves quick ly will excite an elephant. A cat or a dog might cause them to stam pede. And what about memory? Lewis says if an elephant gets to know a person pretty well he'll remember him for life. However, if it's a casual meeting then he'll forget about him in short time. And does tobacco make an ele phant aick? ~ ' Lt*Ts says on the contrary most elephants like tobacco. He said the myth that tobacco makes them sick got started in the 1800s. A circus elephant ran wild and killed a spectator. When the police ar rived, a trainer, trying to save the circus expense of a possible law suit, told police the victim had fed the elephant tobacco "three years ago" and that the elephant, remembering the incident, had gotten revenge. Lewis came to Oklahoma City's Lincoln Park 100 last May from Se attle. His new friend is "Judy," a young elephant school children purchased through small donations. Swansboro August 2 ?

National Program Begins To Speed Up FHA Services Measures to speed up and fur ther improve Farmers Home Ad ministration services to farmers have recently been developed in Washington under the direction of Secretary Benson, Horace J. Eisen hower, State Director, at Raleigh, said today. Mr. Isenhower had just returned from a meeting at Atlanta where the new steps to decentralize and streamline agency operations were explained by Washington officials. In accordance with Secretary Benson's policy of placing more control of agricultural programs in local hands, many of the decisions formerly made in state offices will now be made in the counties. County supervisors, the employees who deal directly with the farmers, will have final approval on a larg er number of loans and will have more authority in working with other creditors and in taking steps to help borrowers solve their fin ancial ana farming problems. Greater use will be made of state and county committees.

Coun ty committeemen will be relied upon to an even greater extent than in the past to help adapt na tional policies to local needs. Services of other public and private organizations will be used to the maximum extent possible. County home demonstration agents will help Farmers Home Adminis tration borrowers with their family living problems. Every possible step will be taken to make sure that no government funds are ad vanced when private or coopera tive credit is available to meet the needs. Lenders will be urged to supply funds for insured farm own ership loans. State Directors and their staffs are being urged to increase their efficiency by eliminating every un necessary step and doing a perfect job the first time. Measures already taken by the agency to render better service at , less cast includes the reorganizs- , tion of the natioBal, area finance, and state offices which resulted in a savings of more than $3,500, 000. A duplicate set of filet on 60.000 real estate loans has been eliminated as well as all of the work performed by state offices in reporting borrower progress. A number of additional improve ments were discussed at the meet ings that will place more author ity in the hands of county super visors, make the programs easier to operate, and enable the agency to serve more farmers than in the past. Most of these revisions are already In the hands of field em ployees and will soon be in full ef fect. To expedite real estate loan mak ing the engineering and apprais al services of the agency will be placed in the county offices, closer to the farmers to be served. Engin eer-appraisers were formerly sta tioned in state offices. Practically all property insur ance matters have been transferred from state to county offices. "She agency's emergency loan program was stressed at the meet ings. State Directors and their staffs were told to move into an area whenever a drought or a flood strikes and when the crisis has passed to move out again as quickly as possible. None of the basic policies under which the agency operates are be ing changed. The same amount of emphasis is placed on helping farmers obtain adequate land and equipment resources, develop good systems of farming, and adopt proper farm and home manage ment practices.
