It is true of course that success is not entirely measured by the amount of money Barn Blaze Loss 2 Men Hurt Two firemen were hurt and damage of more than $1,500 was caused by a fire which burned the roof off a large barn at 115 Laburnum Cresc.

shortly after 2 p. m. yesterday. Battalion Chief Daniel McMahon said the blaze started apparently in furniture stored on the second floor of the building. The cause is undetermined.

It got a good start before it was discovered and flames were bursting through the roof high into the air when firemen arrived. The building was used by Joseph Braverman, of that address, and is owned by Dominic J. Roncone, of 39 State the chief said. The blaze also set fire to the roof of the garage of Julius Ginsberg, of 119 Laburnum Cresc. Some shingles were burned.

Fireman Irwin Murphy, of Pumper 6, was cut on the fingers of his left hand, and William Yates, of Truck 4. on the finger of his right hand. Both were treated at the scene by the chief's driver, John Ayanis, and remained on duty.

Hard, Monroe County's sole surviving Civil War veteran, will be held at the Hotel Seneca Thursday, July 15.

1 through Dec. 31 and for milk used for fluid cream 15 cents per hundredweight to $4. 5 for the same period. Prices advanced 40 cents for fluid millc and 30 cents for milk used for fluid cream on July 1 to bring them to $5.30 and $4.30, respectively. The increases for fluid milk: would boost the retail delivered price 1 cent a quart to bring consumers prices to 23 cents for standard, 24 cents for homogenized and 25 cents for premium milk.

A one-cent boost went into effect July 1. Advance on July 1 On July 1, the prices paid producers for fluid milk advanced 40 cents per hundredweight under the commissioner's March order. May and June prices for fluid milk were $5.40 per hundredweight and $4 for milk used for fluid cream. Normally, the increase of 30 cents per hundredweight for fluid milk used for cream has brought a cent increase at retail for a half pint of coffee cream and 2 cent for a half pint of heavy cream. Dealers in the Dairy Council wer reported to believe the $4.15 price for Class 2-A milk will give them a better "spread" to pay for cost of handling fluid cream.

Higher cost to consumer was said also to have reduced consumption of fluid cream. Closed all day Saturday WILL JURY LOCKED UP Unable to agree after 12 hours' deliberatoin in the contest over $150,000 left by Mrs. Eliza Ranney of Penfield, a jury of eight men and four women were ordered locked up last night in -Powers Hotel by Surrogate G. Robert Wit- mer. Debate on the second-longest trial of its kind in Monroe County will be resumed this morning.

It opened four weeks and two days ago. Six nephews, two nieces and two grandnephews are contesting the will and two codicils, which leave the bulk of the Ranney property to another niece, Mrs. Lily E. Sny der of 56 Fort Hill who also is designated as executrix. Most of the contestants were left $5 each.

They maintain that Mrs. Ranney, the widow of Horace Ranney, a farmer, who died in 1927, was of unsound mind in 1910, when the will was drawn, and in 1942 and 1944, when the codicils were added, and that she was subjected to undue influence.

Chief Cameron stopped at my house the other evening to tell about the Firemen's Carnival, which opened last night, will continue through Saturday night, and with all sirens and bands, playing, burst into a blaze of glory tomorrow, parade night. The carnival is being held in a lot in Hanford which parallels the B.

O. railroad tracks, on the west side of town. Jim Cameron says the carnival is bigjrer and better than ever; that the parade tomorrow night will be a humdinger, with 35 companies, with the Grotto Bagpipes, Scotts Fife and Drums, and other bands in line. The Chief Petty Officers' Club of the Naval Militia, an extra-ndded attraction, will march. An august committee of judges, composed of Sheriff Al Skinner and Chief John A.

Slet-tery anl Dejutv Chief Ambrose E. Foose of the Rochester Fire Department, will decide the prizewinners. The grounds will offer most of the attractions known to firemen's carnivals, including a. Ferris wheel and merry-go-round. It should be good fun and a colorful spectacle.

I have more than passing interest in the well-heing of our local fire laddies, and I hope their carnival is a rousing success. i it I 1 i it THE County Democrats To Shun Caucus On Saturday By EMMET N. O'BRIEN Monroe County Democrats, preparing la6t night for departure to their national convention, are looking for Mayor William O'Dwyer of New York to "boom or bust" at the conclave. They figure that O'Dwyer, who has oined in calling the anti-Truman caucus, is staking everything on the outcome of the maverick movement, and that if he loses he will suffer permanent political damage in the New York State political picture.

Bush Remains Quiet And to Roy F. Bush, county Democratic chairman, and ward and town leaders, the Philadelphia story to be unfolded next week is only a preliminary to the critical state election in 1950. Bush, following expected proce dure is remaining quiet on the rumpus within the party in opposition to President Truman. But all the facts show that Bush and other upstate leaders are for the Presi dent and will go down fighting if he is not nominated. O'Dwyer is the most prominent Democrat mentioned for the gubernatorial contest two years hence when Governor Dewey, regardless of the outcome of his second presidential bid, will not be running.

The rebellion of the New York mayor against President Truman has cost him ground among upstate Democrats who cling to the President. Those same Democrats are solidly for James A. Farley, the former postmaster general, state and na tional chairman. And Farley is for Truman. Sees "0 Truman Votes Consequently, the issues for 1950 are being clearly drawn in advance in Philadelphia, and they will be come sharper as the national con vention reaches the nomination state.

"Truman can count on 70 votes from New York, with only dele gates from some downstate districts, that are overflowed with the Wallace candidacy, opposing him," one top Monroe Democrat said last night. "O'Dwyer easily can break his political neck on this issue." Most of the Monroe Democrats say that O'Dwyer is Joining the anti-Truman forces only as a means of gathering support for himself for his own race for reelection next year. Bush declared last night he will not attend the pre-convention caucus of the anti-Truman forces in Philadelphia Saturday. With former Representative George F. Rogers, again Demo cratic designee for Congress in the 40th District, Bush will leave for the convention tomorrow night.

A number of area Democrats are expected to accompany them in the vanguard of more than 30 who will attend the convention sessions. Bush is a delegate-at-large. Em- mett L. Doyle and Anna May Rush are delegates from the 40th Dis trict, with Rubin Brodsky and Michael S. Cariola as alternates.

Delegates from the 41st District are Louis A. Wehle and H. Floyd Burt of Warsaw, with Raymond A. Morgan, Ogden, and Edward P. Reynolds, Darien, as alternates.

But Mr. Hungerford had such a zestful attitude and lively spirit that it seemed to me he made an inspiration for people who sometimes, even at the age of 50, think the world has passed them by and left them floundering in the ruck and I wrote about his new, anticipated successes with some enthusiasm. He told me he had retired once, liked it for a time, became bored, and "retired from He had half a dozen irons in the fire, he sseemed in fine health, and he was as eager and enthusiastic as a kid on Christmas morning.

One of his several projects as a book he was doing: on the history of the Wells-Fargo Express Company, another a rail- road chow, similar but much larger than the one he put on at the New York World's Fair. At the conclusion of his short visit in Rochester he left for the Pacific Coast to do some research for his book and perhaps obtain a few exhibit for the Chicago chow. I heard no more from him after he left. But the other night his daughter, Mrs. Adrienne Dever-eaux of Xew York, called me long distance to convey the sad intelligence that Sir.

Hungerford is critically ill in Flower Hospital in that city. He had returned from the Pacific Coast beat out" and completely exhausted and physicians ordered his immediate removal to the hospital. Mr. Hungerford is well-known to many Rochester people. He got his start as a writing man as a reporter for the now defunct Rochester Herald and for three years during the past decade he lived in a fine old house in Pitts-ford, where his bounteous hospitality and lavish parties created something of a legend.

He always said, and I am sure he spoke the truth, that he liked this city better than any other place iii the country and if his many activities permitted him to do so he would have permanently made his home in this section. llRISTOPHER Gian Cursio, naturopath, who recently concluded a jail sentence on Hart's Iiland, where he was sent after being: found guilty of illegally practicing medicine, has returned to his home in Castle Park looking quite fit. Ironically, after being charged with practicing medicine without a license, Mr. Gian Cursio was given charge of the prison infirmary. "ISS Ann Schaaff, pretty daughter of Mr.

the other morning, Mr. Martin pulled me around to face him, picked the lint from the front of my jacket, pulled down my sleeves, adjusted my necktie, which had been carelessly knotted, and cried plain-tively, "Kid, I need you like I need my eyes." I wondered how I could possibly be so important to the old hosteler, and then learned that "Butch" wanted a piece done on his new enterprise. The Breakers, on the lake shore, and I was sadly constrained to explain that display advertising would manage that for him. at regular space rates, and that I was just an old friend who was on his way to get a bite of lunch.

JNTERING a grocery store early the other morning to purchase a can of dog food, a Piece of boogie-woogie ended on the blaring radio in the store, and then the disc jockey sprang: this one: "Here's a new joke, folks. Why does an old maid go to a chiropodist? Answer: So she can have a man at her feet." I left the store, with my can of dog food, virtually overcome with laughter.

Salient Facts New Draft Durene Lisle Swiss Rib SLIX Suits for hot weather comfort Usually 1.65 U5 Save 50c the Garment Because of widespread interest in the new Selectice Service regulations, The Democrat and Chronicle is printing these salient facts about the law: Under the Selective Service Act of 1948, voluntary enlistments of 18-year-old youths for 12 months are provided for (110,000 in the Army, 36,000 in the Navy, and 15,000 in the Air Force). ROLLER COASTER IS sleepers. "For about two weeks after the season closes and the ride is put away for the Winter, we have trouble getting the twins (Donald and David) and Paula to go to sleep. They complain that it's just too quiet." Kirby, a native of Michigan, has been in the amusement park business for 26 years.

He used to be a glass blower, but didn't like the life and gave it up to work for anamusement concern in Michigan. He came here in 1922. went to work for the Rochester Coaster Company for 60 cents an hour; eight years ago he and George Long of Sea Breeze bought the company. "I figured long ago that if you were in the business and wanted to make a go of it, you had to be on hand when the customers were there," he said. "So I built this house.

I'm here all the time. Some days we start the ride early in the morning, sometimes around noon, depending upon the demand. But we're always right here." Twins Plead for Hide Two-year-old Paula hasn't had a ride in the coaster yet, but the twins Donald and David pleaded with their father a few days ago to go for a ride. 1 ''I figured I'd give them enough of it so they wouldn't bother me any more," recalled Kirby. "They took 5S rides in succession.

I had to drag them out of the car by the hair, almost, before they'd leave. They wanted to gb 'just once more, Maplewood Park Concert Tonight Rochester Park Band will play at 8 p. m. today at Maple-wood Park. Soloist will be Robert Moore, trombonist.

Because there IS a roller-coaster right overhead when the youngsters go to sleep. The Kirby house, a deceptive structure if ever there was one, is located directly under the 70-foot incline of the Jackrabhit in Sea Breeze Park. Mr. and Mrs. Kirby and the three children live there and love it.

The house was built 26 years ago by Jack Kirby, the master of the family, who owns and operates the Jackrabbit. To show you how closely "tied-in" the house is with the roller-coaster, one of the huge posts which supports the coaster track also goes right down through the middle of the house and serves as a support. Ioks Deceive Looking at the snug little brown-shingled house from the front, as it peeks out from behind two sizeable fir trees, you get the impression it's a three, maybe four, room affair on the order of an oversized doll housed But sten inside. It's a rambling, solidly-built, beautifully-furnished place, obviously more of a "home" than a "house." There are a living room, music room, pine-paneled breakfast nook, kitchen, dining room, tiled bath, and three bedrooms on the ground floor. In the sprawling basement are a laundry, another bedroom, a fruit cellar, storeroom, another bath and shower, a children's playroom which looks like a storeroom for Santa Claus, and an office.

Kirby didn't build the entire house in one swat. He constructed four rooms at first and gradually enlarged the place. It has regular plaster walls, hardwood floors, boasts a huge home freezer. i To get back to the they're so used to the noise of the: roller-coaster that they find it diffi-i cult to get to eleep without noise. Even those storied char-! acters who like the rush and whoop-de-do of the New York Cityj elevated trains might blow their tops if they lived underneath roaring roller-coaster, but the kids I love it.

Season's End Toughest "The toughest time of the year; for us," says Mrs. Kirby, a young-looking, gracious woman who also accepts the roller-coaster as an easy-to-get-along-with part of her daily life, "is at the end of the season. These voluntary enlistee for 12 months must serve in a reserve unit for ix years under an inactive status and, if needed, they can be forced to serve one year in the active reserve. If you are between the ages of 19 and 25, you may be drafted for 21 months' service any time after Sept. 22 in the armed forces and kept in the reserve for three years.

Defense Secretary Forrestal ruled yesterday that reserve units must hold 35 scheduled drills a year; in order for their draft-age members to be exempt from induction. The ruling gives draft exemption to those men who by midnight of June 24 were enlisted in reserve units having a minimum of "35 scheduled drills, or days of active federal service, or combination thereof, per year." The act provides for these deferments and exemptions: 1 Youths In high school will be deferred until graduation or until they reach the age of 20, provided they maintain their scholastic standings. Ccilege youths will be deferred until the end of the scholastic year. 2 It you served 12 months or more between Sept. 16, 1940, and June 21.

19i8, or 90 days between Dec. 7, 1941, and Sept. 2, 1945, you are exempt from the draft. Men who served more than 90 days and less than a year are liable for induction unless they enlist in a drilling civilian component, or unit, if one is open for enlistment. Veterans who served less than 90 days are not exempt.
