;; Two-Y ear-Old Michael Got
i His Christmas Just in Time
By ROBERT BENNYIIOFF
Reno, Nev., Dec. 8 (U.R) Reno's 20-30 club brought Christmas
- to two-year-old Michael Fritchen just in time.
Michael died yesterday of cancer,
"i Last week-end, the Booster club, composed of men between
;I,S0 and 30 years old, presented the boy with a bag full of toys.
Michael, son of Mr. and Mrs
Walter Fritchen, had undergone
two operations and doctors be
came convinced that nothing
could save his life.
,i Last week it became appar
ent that the child probably
; would not last until Christmas,
';'so the 20-30 club decided to
"bring Christmas to Michael.
jj Michael's parents were afraid
to let Santa Claus himself visit
2 the dying boy for fear he would
become frightened or upset, so
JJclub president Floyd just drop
aped around with a bag of toys
"shiny toy cars, a brown teddy
"bear and a child's phonograph
JJwith lots of records.
m The Fritchens' three othor
children Wallie, 15: Allen, 13,
Hnd Delma, 10 knew why
S Michael was getting the big bag
a of presents. They tried to sup-
press tears as they told him that
there would be even more toys
when Santa Claus came.
a Only Michael was unaware of
"the real reason for the early
" His mother said, "He knew
nothing of what was happening
to him. He couldn't understand
why he couldn't get out of bed.
We used to let him play inside
the house before he got worse
and lately he couldn't even do
5 that."
...
J; Michael loved the teddy bear
m and the phonograph most of all.
He cuddled the bear and asked
It the other members of the fam
JJ lly to play the phonograph.
Over and over again he lis-
tened to records, smiling up from
5 his bed despite his pain. All the
toys received Michael's attention
JJ but It was the bear and phono
it graph that gave him the most
J pleasure.
m So the little boy who couldn't
2 watt for Santa Claus had his
w Christmas anyway.

A. N. Bush, president of the
Pioneer Trust company, has just
published another booklet that
doubtless will go into official
archives as valuable local his
tory. The foreword says that "For
the past 30 years A. N. Bush has
published from time to time
these historical booklets, giving
to the people of Salem interest
ing historical facts and side
lights about the capital city in
the early day."
The new edition is more elab
orate than those that have gone
before, and is amply illustrated
with pictures, both modern and
historical, of persons, places and
buildings.
The book has a history of the
Pioneer Trust company, and
some of the interesting things
that may be seen from the lobby
of the building at State and
Commercial. Especially interest
ing is a history of the George
Washington picture.
Another feature is the story of
the Kinney family as furnished
to Mr. Bush by Dr. Alfred C.
Kinney.
Other titles In the book in
clude: "The Fire of 1883;" "The
C. E. Tilton," the history of a
ship picture in the Pioneer Trust
offices; "The State House of
1853," and a history of Oregon's
States Houses; a sketch about
Willamette university, and the
story of the Salem Foundation, a
charitable organization sponsor
ed by the trust company.
Safety Is Studied
Amity The seventh and
eighth grade boys of Amity
grade school, in the health class,
have been studying Industrial
safety. They recently had a
field trip through the Burling-
ham-Mceker Grain Co. plant
here.

Swiss Build Own Navy
At Last to Repel Invasion
Zurich, Switzerland U.R) The "Swiss Navy" is no joke any more.
Imagine speedboats, carrying anti-tank guns and heavy ma
chine guns roaring across picturesque Swiss lakes, beneath tower
ing mountains. There are no battleships or aircraft carriers in the
Swiss Navy, of course, but only because they are not needed.
Switzerland'
What neutral
must have to defend itself In
case of war, military authorities
say, are fast craft to patrol the
four big lakes, forming part of
Switzerland's frontier. They
would have to prevent foreign
agents entering the country by
means of rubber dinghies or
planes.
But the Swiss navy is ready
also for battle on the many
lakes inside Switzerland, espe
cially the fjordlike lakes at the
approaches to the famous "Re
duit," the mighty system of un
derground fortifications, factor
ies, warehouses and even air
fields in the center of the Swiss
Alps.
...
Swiss military authorities an
ticipate that a potential aggres
sor of Switzerland would try to
"jump" the country's border
fortifications by putting planes
and gliders down on the bigger
lakes inside the country.
Therefore, units of the Swiss
navy are trained also on these
lakes- well known to tourists,
such as the lakes of Lucerne, of
Thun and of Spiez.
Whoever has seen one of these
lakes with almost perpendicular
cliffs in certain parts rising di
rect from the shore up to snow
capped peaks, can easily ima
gine the functions of the Swiss
navy.
Their speedboats suddenly
whizzing out of their caverns
along the shore, and firing from
their two-inch annti-tank guns,
might easily sink enemy planes,
or even hamper tanks and sup
ply units near the lake side.
The Swiss military authorities
after gathering experience from
the last world war, now have
created the first regular units of
the Swiss navy.
Its members do not have bell
bottom trousers or any other col
orful paraphernalia, but are, as
all other Swiss citizens, mem
bers of the Swiss armed forces.
They wear the standard green-
gray uniform and keep it, to
gether with their individual car
bines, at home after their basic
training.
The first training course for
"rookies" is just being held at
Brunnen, on the Lake of Lu
cerne, whereas up to now units
of the Swiss navy consisting of
soldiers reassigned from other
army units, or were part of the
home guard.
...
The equipment of the Swiss
navy, according to military au
thorities, is comprised of heavy
speedboats as already used by
the Swiss customs patrols on the
border-lakes, and of bigger, but
somewhat slower, transports.
In case of war, the pleasure
speedboats of private owners
would be requisitioned. The men
are given special training as boat
commanders, wireless operators
and gunners.
They must know "their lake"
and although they all must be
excellent swimmers, they are
given "Mae Wests."
...
The boats which are to be
used for tactical offensive and
defensive, have one anti-tank
gun and one or two machine
guns each, and are equipped
with powerful searchlights and
radio sets.
The transports are built to
carry regular army units and
supplies. The waterways might,
under certain circumstances, re
main the only means of com
munication, once the roads and
railroads along the steep shores
of some lakes would have been
blown up to slow down the en
emy's advance.
