Pa. Last October Fedderson com I pitted a segment of his show co- starring a decile, 10-year old bur- Iro named Clura. and became at tached to the beast. Rather than sell the little don key, he thought it would make a bright Christmas gift for one of his youthful viewers. In a I'nitcJ Press International story the pro ducer asked youngsters to write him letters explaining why they wanted a burro. Fedderson was rewarded with I more tharr i-too letters from all I sections of the country. He and his crew sorted them carefully and selected a missive from Ron nie Bartberger, 12, who read the story In the New Castle News. Victim of Polio Ronnie's letter, in part, read: I "I would like to have Clara be I cause six years ago I had polio. I My little sister died from it, and I my brother Chuckle has a brace Ion his right leg. I huve to walk on crutches I and I had an operation on my back last year. "I was 51 a big cast and QUOTES IN THE NEWS United Press International I couldn't move for' over nine months. Now I am able to go without a back brace. But 1 get too tired if 1 walk too far on my crutches. In June 1 have to have a couple more operations on my legs. So I would like to have the burro to ride and then 1 could go where the ether kids go. and even go to the store for my mother. Chuckle could ride, too." Ronnie it the son of Mr. ari Mrs. Albert Bartberger. His fath er is a steel worker who recently returned to work after the indus try wide strike. Clara, coimleto with saddle, bridle and blanket, was scheduled to be flown by the Flying Ti gers Line Uur free) from Holly wood to Cleveland, Ohio, whe e Ronnie and his family will greet Hie Utile burro who has retired from the glamorous acting life. Best Present Ever Editors of the New Castle News have provided transportation foi the burro to Ronnie's home. Via long dlstunce telephone Ronnie tela the L'Pl, "This is the best Christmas present a guy ever got. The good part of it is i can share tiara with an my brothers." In addition to Chuckie, Clara will be hauling around Ricky, 6; Mike, 8, and David, 10. "We have a shed to keep Clara in, rton nie said. "And she won't be lone some either. We have a pet duck and a dcg." Fedderson, feeling a little like Santa Claus, admitted the gift of a lonesome burro was more heart warming than handing out a mil lion make-believe greenbacks on the TV show he produces.

Then he posed for photographers with a water can to demonstrate his ap proved method of keeping indoor Christmas trees safe from fire. The demonstration at the Agri culture Department was frankly a publicity stunt aimed at remind ing the public of the Forest Serv ice's basic rule for preventing Christmas tree fires: "Buy a fresh tree and give it enough water to keep it fresh. Smoky actually a Forest Service employe in costume re minded his friends that a five to six foot tree may take as much as a quart of water the first day it is set up In a warm room. After that, the tree should get water daily because it may use a full cup every 24 hours. SUSPEND 11 GUARDS RA1F0RD. Fla.

WASHINGTON 1UPI1 Seme of . them laughed though they couldn't see. Others san& though they couldn't hear. It happened at a one-of-ft kind Christmas concert here .Tuesday given for the fifth year in a row by Mrs. Jouett Shouse. vice presi dent of the National Symphony Orchestra Assn. . As a ".Christmas present to my self" Mrs. Shouse puts on the an nual concert for some 1.600 deaf, blind, crippled or otherwise handi capped youngsters from the capi tal area. Son- In Wheelchairs Some came into the Catholic University gymnasium in wheel chairs, some carried canes tap ping the floor ahead of them, some managed to maneuver with only a friendly adult on either side for moral support. So many came some had to sit on the floor. Canadians Most 'Gabby' People MONTREAL (UPI) For the seventh consecutive year, Canadi ans have been ranked .the gabbi est people in the world. According to the 1959 issue of the World's Telephones, released today by the Bell Telephone Co.. of Canada, the average Canadian uses the telephone 511 times a year. Iceland was second with 486 telephone conversations per per son and the United States third with 472. The United States has the high est number of telephones per 100 population with 38, followed by Sweden with . 34 and Canada with 30. The United States, with 66.645. 000 telephones, had the highest number in the world and the United Kingdom was next with 7,525.000. Canada had 5.123.000 phones as of Jan. 1. 1959, 2 per cent of tnem dial system. After the music began, the youngsters acted like kids the world over. "Pop Goes The Wea sel" got moe handclapping than did Handel and the clash of cym bals in "Carmen" drew squeals. When it came time for every cne to join in singing Christmas sarols, one pig-tailed girl strained to read the words on her pro gram. She couldn't despite three cataract operations so far ljut she sang with a shy smie anyway. r Explains Concert , Also singing was a group of teen-age boys wearing the khaki outfit of a training center for de linquents. When National Symphony con ductor Howard Mitchell intro duced the orchestra's instruments, one youngster leaned over to steady a palsied friend who want ed to see the bassoon. , Mitchell began by explaining that at a concert "everyone must be absolutely quiet so everyone can hear." The tiny little boy in the back couldn't be blamed for violating the rule and crying all the vay through the concert. He could hear all right but he couldn't see what was causing all the noise.
