He has played every course that he knows about in North Carolina, Buck Pressley, Kings Mountain professional who made the wet and n\uddy 2,956th cour se with the veteran, quoted him as saying. A traveling salesman for Eagle Pencil Co., Mr. Kennedy shoots in the low eighties and has play, ed more golf courses than any one else in the world. His goal now is to play No. 3,000 over the historic St. An drews course in Scotland and al ready has his boat reservations for the trip this summer. Mr. Kennedy evidently start ed his "trek" some 20 or more years ago. In 1940 (April 22), the late veteran golf write*, -O. B. Keelfer,' did a column on the a mazing golfer who had just shot his 1,993rd course In Atlanta, Ga., the preceding day.

Mr. Pressley said the world's champ "Just dropped In" on him Tuesday morning. He had spent the night in Charlotte and Journeyed over, with only a No. 3 iron, to play the local nine. "I've been reading about Mr. Kennedy for about 20 years," Mr Pressley isaid, "and I figured some day he'd drop in on my course. He doesn't give a hoot about his scores, he Just wants to play 3,000 courses." Mr. Pressley quoted the veter GIVES FAST RELIEF whan COLD MISERIES STRIKE an as being amazed at the con dition of the Kings Mountain club's 15-month-old greens. The fairways had recently been "spiked"- and, Mr. Kennedy got a bad picture of that department he said, with the big rainfall of Monday and Tuesday making a sea of mud and water on the course. Mr. Kennedy was slated to re turn to Charlotte to play the new Carmel Country club course and on to Augusta, G-a., for more golfing. College Hints To Farm Homemakers By Ruth Current,. State Home Demonstration Agent LADY ON A LADDER ?to save falls in doing home jobs that call for a climb, safety advisors offer some ladder lore, especially ito women who. may have to do more repair and upkeep of the house this year as men will have longer working hours. For up high work indoors ? washing windows, cleaning upper cup boards or painting, for example ? they urge the use of a sturdy step-stool or step ladder instead of taking a chance on a chair, box or other makeshift. If straight ladders are to be used for outside work, here are yps toward a safe climb: Wear clothes that give free dom for work and won't get cau ght in climbing. Generally well fitted blue Jeans or slacks are safer than skirts. To avoid slip ping, be sure any mUd or grease has been cleaned from shoes be fore starting up. Also be sure the ladder is in good repair ? no cracked, loose or rotted rungs or supports, no loose or rusty nuts. j Set the ladder firmly on the ground, never on . any slippery surface. Have the base one-four th of the ladder's height away from the wall to prevent tipping or sliding backward. The ladder should be long enough to extend above the level of work so that the upper two or three rungs can be used for a hand grasp, never for the feet. If a ladder is to be used long In one place, It may be tied at the t6p for extra se curity. Never carry heavy or bulky loads or sharp tools when climb ing a ladder. Instead have a rope hoist to bring them up and hold them in position for Convenient use. A metal hook J 3 handy for holding a pail or paint can. When climbing, depend more on the hamis than the feet, and use both hands. It is safer to grasp thesides of the ladder than the rUnks because there is less danger of falling if a round shoQld break.

Davla, Atty. -v Check Machinery. Farm Agent Urges With spring planting season just beginning .Cleveland County farmers 'were reminded tod&y that the most Important step in the safe operation of machinery Is to put It to good condition be fore field work starts. Howard Clapp, county, farm a gent for the State College Exten sion Service, pointed out that more than 50,000 tractors with plivs, cultivators, discs, and planfers will .soon be working in fields throughout North Caroli na. V ith labor high-priced and in -ihort supply, farmers Will uave to depend more and more on ?mechanical, 'equipment to help them produce their crops. It Is Important, therefore/ that this equipment be kept In good con dition to Insure maximum pro duction. Another reason for taking care of machinery, suggested the farm agent, is that replacement parts may become difficult to obtain as increasing amounts of metal are diverted to the defense ef fort. The wise farmer, hfe added, will attempt to make present e quipment last as long as possi Defective hitches, seats, clut ches, wheels, brakes, steering mechanism, and unguarded re volving parts are things to check. The National Safety Council has reported many fatal accidents by failure ~f makeshift seats and unguarded power take off shafts on tractors. All dirt, tfash, and grease should be re moved from platforms, pedals, foot rests, and steps to assure safe footing. Special care should be taken in checking homemade labor saving equipment (for accident hazards. Accidents can easily off set all the other advantages de rived from such equipment. Timely servicing will reduce accidents as well as costly field breakdowns and make iarm work more pleasant. Poorly con ditioned farm machinery is irri tating and fatiguing to the oper ator. Field accidents often re sult when he attempts to improve faulty operations which should have been corrected before the machine was taken to the field.
