Batten Plays Pied Piper to Cows As Wind Howls and Water Rises

L. W. Batten never thought he'd play Pied Piper to a bunch of marooned milch cows but he did the night of the last hurricane—and found the going damp. "Heavy rains flooded low-lying pastures and my whole herd had scrambled up on high ground near a canal when I reached them late that night," the owner of the L. W. Batten Dairy Farm at 94th Avenue and the Trad related. The 187 head were milling anxiously and sending out foghorn moos of distress. "The wind was still whipping up a gale but my crew and I milked the herd dry and tossed the milk in the canal," Batten explained. "Then we tried to get the cows to swim across the canal to the safety of the barns." They coaxed from the front. They shoved from the rear. "Nice Bossy, come Bossy," they pleaded. No More Water The cattle, having just emerged from three feet of water, weren't buying any more. "We darned near gave up until we realized the panicked herd was turning and following us wherever we went on the narrow canal bank," the dairyman said. Started Swimming Desperate, Batten stripped, lowered himself into the cold canal water and started swimming across. That did it. One of the more daring critters inched cautiously down the bank into the water, another followed, and soon the whole herd started swimming across while dog-paddling cowpokes formed human chains. No Milk The experience frightened the herd out of milk production for three days but they were safe—and that's all Batten and his dairy assistants cared about. Half the herd is now chewing its cud contentedly on home grounds. "Floods forced me to run the other half over to higher grazing ground at the Miami Air Depot," the "Pied Piper" said. "But anyhow, we're still in business."

Red Cross Juniors Seek New Members

The Junior Red Cross will seek 100 per cent enrollment next week of the students in Coral Gables and Dade county schools, public, parochial and private. This will mean, according to Dr. James S. Thomas, JRC chairman for the Dade county chapter, around 50,000 young people. "Through the Junior Red Cross," Dr. Thomas continued, "the boys and girls of Dade county will have an opportunity to pledge themselves to aid in meeting the needs of their community, their country and the children of other nations." Serves in Hospitals The American Junior Red Cross continues to serve in military and civilian hospitals, providing entertainment programs, holiday favors, articles of clothing, and furniture made in manual training classes. One of the most important of the Dade County Junior Red Cross projects is educational rehabilitation.

The members of the board include Donald F. Peck, president, C. Dana Woodman, Helen R. Hilton, George B. Caster, Leslie H. Coombes, Marvin L. Duncan, Dennis A. Cray and Paul A. Mickler.

Hearing Scheduled On Re-Zoning

A hearing on a re-zoning application which has the approval of all but one owner in the section involved is scheduled for discussion by the South Miami zoning board tonight, Mrs. Sylvia Martin announced today. The application was submitted by J. T. Lummus for a client, Catherine McKay, asking that the east block at the corner of Bird Road and Red Road be re-zoned from an R-1 area to a C-1 area, which would permit limited business operations. and valued at approximately $2 each. Textbooks Sent During 1947, 250,000 textbooks were shipped to the Philippine Red Cross, donated mostly by the California State Department of Education. Through JRC funds special printing equipment for inexpensive reproduction of educational literature for the schools of Czechoslovakia, Greece and Italy are sent, and a complete printing unit has been sent to Norway. Dade County Juniors are serving in Pratt Veterans' Administration hospital, making holiday favors for men on ships at sea, in the polio ward at Jackson Memorial hospital, and a convalescent program for the cardiac home will be started this winter. The Junior Red Cross was founded in 1917 by President Woodrow Wilson and has grown to a body of 19 million, the largest youth organization in the world, and one of the greatest goodwill groups working for universal peace.

Veteran Aid Is Promised At University

Starting Monday, November 10, Veterans Administration representatives will be assigned to the University of Miami to interview veterans who have not received their initial subsistence checks for the new fall term. VA representatives assigned to check up on non-receipt of subsistence checks will be located in Room 214, Administration building, Main campus from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday and Wednesday, and in Room 260, old Administration building, North campus, Thursday and Friday. Promptness Promised Full details about delinquent checks will be transmitted immediately to the VA regional office at Dinner Key where V. S. Parker, Miami regional manager, has issued instructions that each individual case will be investigated promptly and every possible action will be taken to speed up delivery of delayed checks. Students should provide the VA representatives with their "C" number, full name, and correct address to facilitate the checking-up process, the VA manager said. Veterans who have not been notified of their "C" number, should give their service serial number. Transfer Necessary A large number of students transferred to the university on supplemental certificates of eligibility from an area under the jurisdiction of another VA regional office and it is necessary to have their pay data cards and other records transferred to the Miami VA office before subsistence payments can be started. The veteran will receive a card from the VA office transferring his records notifying him that his complete file has been shipped to the Miami office. Until that time he cannot expect to be fully processed and placed on the VA payroll here, Parker stated. Also asked by Parker not to inquire about checks now are those veterans who have not yet furnished requested documents—such as marriage certificates; affidavits of support; earnings reports, etc. Awards for subsistence payments cannot be processed until such information is supplied as requested by the VA.

They were also found guilty of forcing prisoners to kneel at attention for long periods of time with sticks placed behind their knees. By forcing four prisoners to work when they were ill Ishimatsu contributed to their death. Yamaji was found guilty of beating prisoners into insensibility. U. of M.
