Famous Horse Is Honored

Plaque by Barre Guild artisans
All famous horses aren’t racers. Jumbo, a bay gelding who died
in 1944, has been memorialized by Lederle Laboratories, Pearl River,
New York, with a granite plaque, honoring his contributions to
medical science.
Jumbo was purchased by Lederle in 1929 and until he was retired
in 1940, he gave about 657 gallons of blood from which tetanus
antitoxin and pneumonia antiserum were extracted. It is not possible
to estimate how many lives this one horse saved with his blood.
Jumbo lived'a veritable “life of Riley” at the vast Lederle plant.
When purchased, he weighed 1,400 pounds, and when he died he
tipped the scales at 2,000 pounds. He stood 16 hands high. From
1940 to 1944, during his retirement, Jumbo was a pet at the plant
and had full run of the stables.
He never won a horse race, but he won many races against death.

Korea Get Frost-Proof
Two-Layer Rubber Boots
WATERTOWN, Mass., (/P) —
American soldiers in Korea will
wear new insulated rubber boots
this winter that will protect
against frostbite at 45 degrees be
low zero.
The boots, which operate on a
vacuum bottle principle, have
been shipped to Korea -after three
seasons of testing in Alaska. They
were developed by the Hood Rub
ber Co., a division of B. F. Good
rich, in conjunction with the
naval clothing depot in Brooklyn,
N. Y.
They will be issued in time to
prevent a recurrence of last win
ter’s cases of frostbite.
The new boot consists of two
layers of rubber with two plies of
19-ounce knitted wool insulation
between them. It is designed to
be worn with just one pair of
socks.

Parachute Survivor Has
Lunch After Crash
SALEM, Ore., </P)—A flaming
airplane crashed in the yard of
a farm house. Wednesday. Min
utes later the pilot was having
lunch with the calm family.
First Lt. Clarence Burke, 26,
bailed out when his F-51 caught
fire while he was flying in a
group of eight planes from the
Portland Air Base.
The plane crashed into the back
yard of the James Jackson farm
five miles north of here. A wing
tip slashed a hole in the Jackson
roof, but no one was hurt.
Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, about
to eat lunch, raced outside in
horror but calmed down once
they learned what all the noise
was about. Burke came racing
across the field where he landed,
and they soon invited him to
join them at lunch.
Burke, a veteran of 100 mis
sions over Korea, polished off
some roast beef, salad, potatoes,
peaches and coffee.
