54 Families in Poverty-Stricken
Town Take Hope for Holidays
Shallmar, Md., Dec. 14 (IP) "Merry Christmas" seems to mean
a little more to the 54 families in this poverty-stricken mining
town today. There was three days' food ready for distribution
and more was being collected in nearby towns.
But the trial was far from over.
Earlier reports that the towns-
people had been supplied with
enough food to last them until
Christmas proved to be over
optimistic. J. P. Andrich, the school
teacher who focussed attention
on the community'! plight after
several of his young pupils
fainted in his classroom from
hunger, was still worried.
"Even if these minera return
to work and the chances don't
look too good now it will be
some time before these children
get the dieti they need," he ex
plained. He apparently was succeeding
in getting started a hot lunch
program for the youngsters.
Civic and veterans' groups in
nearby Cumberland, Md were
formulating plans to begin the
service, but the program still is
In the planning stage.
He estimated he could feed his
50 students until June for about
$1,500. He added, however,
this figure included only the cost
of food.
Word got out last Friday of
the dire strait of th commun
ity, where the only available
employment the Wolf Den
Mine has been idle since last
March 31.
Work was spasmodic before
then. The mine operated only
about three months last year and
only 12 days this year until It
closed indefinitely.
H. A. Marshall, owner of the
mine, said the mine couldn't op
erate until some orders came in
He contended there was too
much coal above ground under
selling him on a bid basis be-
lse the small-time operation
of his mine was more expensive
than those of the larger and
more mechanized ones.

little boys and a girl.
Tech. Sgt. Roy J. Jamieson
and his wife Dorothy, of Feeley,

Exceed Quota
With 109 pints of blood re
ceived, Salem again exceeded its
quota of 100 when the mobile

The Salem center was the first
to exceed the goal since the first

by the regional center, it was an
nounced. There are 16 counties
participating in the area.
A total of 135 persons appear
ed at the unit's operation yester
day and of this total, 44 were
drop ins," those who had not
made appointments but read
about the need for donors.
"With these 109 pints, local
hospitals are now assured of
enough blood to use during the
remainder of December. The re
sponse yesterday was most grat
ifying," said Milton L. Meyers,
chairman of the Red Cross col
lected blood program for the
county Red Cross chapter.
"We are hopeful the response
will be as generous when the
unit comes for its monthly stop
on the second Tuesday of Jan

hausted our list of volunteer do-
nors and are making appeals to
new donors," Mr. Meyers added.

Rita Draws Wrath
Of Commie Paper
Lausanne, Switzerland, Dec.
14 (U.R) Rita Hayworth, waiting
in Lausanne for the imminent
arrival of her baby, today drew
the wrath of Geneva's commu
nist newspaper "Voix Ouvriere,"
which demanded;
"Who is paying for Rita Hay
worth's luxury?"
Commenting on the publicity
Swiss magazines have given
Rita and her husband, Prince
Aly Khan, the newspaper said
sarcastically that Switzerland's
fate practically depended on the
forthcoming blessed event.
As for the bill-paying, the
newspaper referred its readers
to a Marxist booklet "explain
ing" how the rich soak the poor.
The only member of the fami
ly to visit Rita during the morn
ing was Mrs. Frances Rosser
of Los Angeles, known as "Aunt
Fanny."

QUESTION! Whan I read of
the huge damages awarded to
people injured in automobile
accidents, I begin to wonder
If the five and ten thousand
or even the ten and twenty
thousand dollar public liabil
ity policy is large enough to
give complete protection. I
hear of people carrying fifty
nd hundred thousand dollar
liability policies and I would
like to know If th cost of
uch insurance la too high for
the average person to pay.
ANSWER; Not at all. At a
matter of fact, a very small
Increase in premium can
change a ten and twenty
thousand dollar liability pol
icy to a twenty-five and fifty
thousand dollar protection.
You are quit right, too,
about the need for greater
protection as the size of dam
age awards has Increased sub
stantially In th past few
years.

Tractors Battle y
On Streets With
$500 Prize Offered
Elgin, Ore., Dec. 14 (U.R)
You never know what they'll
try next.
Four big tractors battled It
out on ice-coated Main street
here last week-end in a me
chanized tug-of-war to settle
a $500 bet.
While hundreds of residents
lined the street and sidewalks,
Francis Wade sent his 35
horsepower machine into the
battle against a 38-horsepower
tractor of the same make en
tered by Orien Hug.
The tractors pulled at each
end of a 50-foot logging cable,
with Wade's driver, Ralph
Thompson, taking three
straight pulls from Hug's ma
chine, mainly by spinning his
wheels to wear through the
ice for greater traction.
After Wade had pocketed
the $ 5 0 0 , he accepted chal
lenges from Bernal Hug of El
gin and Mike Chandler of
La Grande. Wade's tractor
took a quick victory over
Hug's but lost to Chandler's
machine which had a one-ton
weight advantage.
