WELL, sir, here’s one of those automobile stories I’ve been looking for. By golly, I knew they were there waiting for me. Why, doggone it, there must be a million good auto adven tures in hiding. The field isn’t even scratched yet. , Half our adventuring today is done in automobiles, and I’ll bet most every one of you has a good gas-buggy yarn in mind that you just haven’t gotten around to sending me yet. This automobile yarn is a lulu, too. It comes from George H. Smith, and the trouble George got into, well, gosh hang it, it's almost enough to make a man sell his car and put the dough into life insurance. Of course, George Smith can’t very well sell that bus of his. In the first place he doesn’t own it, and In the second he makes his living driving the doggone thing. George bias been a truck driver since 1921 and he must be a pretty good one, too, for he drove that old patrol wagon for 12 years without get ting into any really serious trouble. Here Begins the Story of George’s Woes. One day, back In 1933 though, George did get Into trouble. But I’m not the man to tell you about that. Let George do It! "I was driving a big freight van,’’ says George, “from Boston to Albany. I was getting along fine until just before I got to Pittsfield. Then, coming down a steep hill called Jacob’s Ladder, the car seemed to get away from me. “I had to grab the hand brake to prevent a smash, and what racket that brake made. I got her to the bottom of the hill all right, though, and there I found I’d broken the brake shoe on the drive shaft. “That left me nothing but the foot brake. Maybe I should have stopped right there and had it fixed. If I’d had any idea of what was go ing to happpen, I darned sure would have. But lots of drivers got along with a hand brake so I stepped on the gas and took a chance." Only One More Big Hump to Get Over. George’s truck rolled on through Pittsfield and took the steep grade down Lebanon mountain without any trouble. He had left all the steep spots in his route behind him now—all except one, and he wns coming to that—a small mountain that drops down into the town of Nassau, New York. George rolled over the top of that mountain and had just started down the other side when suddenly his foot brake slipped and the van leaped forward. George grabbed for the shift lever—tried to throw her back into first. It was no use. He tried the brake again, but this time the foot brake SMASH! The Side of the Van Hit a Tree. didn’t work at nil. And all the time the truck was gathering speed as It raced down the steep incline toward the bottom. It’s Not the Hill—It’s What’s Below! It was only four miles to the bottom of that hill, but, as George says, a lot can happen on a four-mile hill, especially when there’s a town at the bottom. The truck, by this time, was going faster than any truck was ever built to go—swaying from side to side and all but leaping from the road. George made a right turn and negotiated a left—prayed that he wouldn’t meet any traffic. Now houses began to flash by, warn ing him that the town at the bottom of the hill was not far away. "All I had,” says George, “was a horn and a prayer. I dropped down a grade steeper than the rest, with a sharp curve at the bottom. And at the speed ?. was making I knew I’d never make that turn.” Crash of Truck Saves Driver’s Life. ' Well, he didn’t—exactly. The van hit the curve and started to dip. George clutched the wheel and held his breath as both Ids left wheels raised off the ground. He braced himself for a fall and then—SMASH— the side of the van hit a tree, tearing half the body from the wheels. But that crash had saved George's life. The force of the Impact knocked the big truck back on all four wheels again and It caromed oft down the last steep grade toward the town. Ahead of him red traffic lights turned green aa he roared through the village of Nassau, his horn screeching a frantle warning. George steered the big van to the side of the road—rubbed his tires against the curb In a vain effort to slow It down. Then he hit a short up grade and came to a stop on the outskirts of the village. “My knees,” George says, "were like rags and I had to sit down a while. I looked back down the street and there was freight scattered along the curbing as far as I could see. I looked under the truck and found that the pinion gear was gone out of the rear end. “A town officer drove up and I was arrested. Reckless driving was the charge, but when the kindly old judge heard my story he let me oft with a $10 fi"e.” ©—WNU Service. _ Michigan Jack Pine Doe* Not Mature for 80 Year* Considerable has been said In the past regarding the large amount of mature jack pine that may be found on state-owned lands, particularly in state forests. Most of these re ports emanate from those who would like to see this timber har vested for commercial purposes, writes Albert Stoll, Jr., In the De troit News. A careful check of the state hold ings would reveal that there Is very little. If any, so-called mature jack pine on these holdings. What un doubtedly is meant'Is the merchant able jack pine. Coder the most fa vorable growing conditions jack pine matures in Michigan at about eighty to ninety years of age. It Is conceded, however, that before this period much of this forest growth becomes merchantable for pulpwood, box wood, railroad ties and th* like, but It Is by no means mature. Even after reaching ma turity, If Hr* and disease are elim inated from these stand* the trees may persist for many years longer without deteriorating. Reforestation In Michigan did not begin until 1904, and even the old est of our Jack pine plantations are far from being mature today. It Is quite true that some of the land which reverted to the state did con tain a fair stand of natural jack pine which Is approaching close to maturity, but there is so little of this that the state would be un warranted In attempting to harvest It The jack pine tree of northern Michigan, while not as valuable commercially as other species of pines, or hardwood, has gone far in covering the lumbering and Are scars of the past generation and has. a distinct recreational value.
