SANTA WITH WHITE GOWN
Hospital to Make It Easy
For Mom, Pop With Boy in Bed
Boston, Dec. 14 VP) Mom and Pop will wait up for Santa Claus
along with Sonny in his hospital ward in a new experiment at
Boston's great children's medical center.
But not all the tots who won't be home for Christmas can
hare the eve with their families in the world-famed hospital.
Some are too sick for long
visits. Many are in heavy casts
and braces or recovering after
serious heart or brain opera
tions. The doctors started a radical
project for the not too sick med
ical patients.
They plan to make it easy for
their folks to see them when
ever they can.
No waiting for visiting hours
if your child is in this particular
20-bed ward.
Little Dean Ault Gets Pup !
With Lucky Name Attached
Seattle, Dec. 14 VP)--A Lucky Lady has come to little Dean
Ault.
Dean, 2'A year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack L. Ault, is the
little boy who already has lost the sight of one eye and may
have to surrender his other eye because of cancer in order to live.
S Luckv Lady is a little black
Cocker Spaniel dog that was
sent to him by air express from
Montreal, Que. Lady luck ar
rived at night with a note, read
ing:
"Dear Dean, here is a little
gift from me to you. Hope it
will make you happy, too. God's
blessing now I ask for you for
a speedy recovery. All my love
Maureen Allaston, 2161 Cadil
lac St., Montreal, Que."
Dean and the puppy made
friends immediately, Dean declaring:
"I'm going to feed the doggie,
Mommie."
Drop in any time, feed him,
give him his bath or sing him
to sleep.
And you can play with him for
hours in the big playroom at the
end of the ward. It's crammed
with dolls and dollhouses, me
chanical gadgets for boys and all
sorts of quiet games.
Sometime, maybe, the whole
hospital will have playrooms in
every ward.
But there just isn't room right
now.
Tot, 2, Gets Head
Stuck in Banister
Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 14 JP)
Bedlam broke loose when two-year-old
Mickey Holloway got
his head stuck in the banister.
The playful Mickey was up to
his old trick of making faces at
Sister Shirley, 12, last night. All
of a sudden he got his head
caught between two iron bars of
the staircase.
Mickey screamed "bloody
murder, said his mother, Mrs,
J. L. Holloway. Somebody called
the fire department. The fire
men got Mickey loose with a
crowbar.
They gave the boy a dime to
keep him quiet during the oper
ation. Newspaper photographers
came to take Mickey s picture
"I'm not afraid," he told them.
But he was very careful not
to put his head very far through
the banister when he stuck out
his tongue at his sister the next
time.
Burned-Out Family of Bob Riley
Get Christmas Couple of Weeks Early
Washington, Dec, VP) The Bob Riley family had a
Christmas after ail and a couple weeks early at that.
Sunday night, their small home eight miles southeast of
here was burned to the ground. With it went all ther per
sonal possessions.
The holiday season looked pretty bleak for Mr. and Mrs.
Riley and their 16-year-old son, Robert, Jr. But that was
before their neighbors got on the telephone.
One phone call led to another. Almost before they knew
it, the rural church in which the neighbors planned to
hold a "shower" for the family was too small. So, yesterday,
an estimated ZOO persons gathered in the nearby Good Hope
town hall.
They all came bearing gifts canned foods, kitchenware,
linens, a set of silver. There was some much-needed cash, too.
The Rileys had nothing to say; they were much too happy.
Said Riley's brother, Mailyn, with whom the family has stayed
since the fire:
"You just can't realize what this means to Bob."
Nothing but Bells From 'Radio'
Attieboro, Mass., Dec. JP) Investigating two false fire
alarms sounded two minutes apart yesterday, police dis
covered tracks of a toy wagon leading from the box.
They followed the trail to the nearby home of a three and
one-half-year-old boy.
Patiently they had to explain to him why he couldn't get
any music when he climbed on his cart and twisted the handle
of the pretty red "radio" on the pole.
Small City Expects
Tired Fair Visitors
Seattle, Dec. 14 P The com
mittee for the greater Seattle
centennial celebration, to be
held in 1951-52 were amazed to
find a $10 contribution from
Anacortes in their morning
mail.
With the check, however, was
a note of explanation from
Paul Luvera, past president of
the chamber, which read:
"Hundreds of thousands ' of
visitors will come to Seattle to
enjoy the activities.
"After awhile they'll tire of
you city slickers and want to
breath of some fresh country
air. That's where Anacortes and
the rest of the state will come
in particularly Anacortes."
Firemen Busy
Portland, Dec. VP) Fire
fighters were kept hopping as
flames destroyed an office, re
pair shop and ammunition ware
house at the Portland Gun club
east of here yesterday. About
50 cases of shotgun shells were
in the flames, the shells popping
like firecrackers.
Food Flown to
Ward's Felines
New York, Dec. 14 VP) The
American Feline Society, Inc., is
flying two shipments of food to
the four cats which Angus Ward
brought out of Red China.
President Robert L. Kendell
said the state department had
assured him that the shipments,
to be made by Pan-American
Airways from Wilmington, Cal.,
would be expedited.
"Those cats are undoubtedly
underfed after living in that
part of the world and they will
need proper cat food," Kendell
said.
Dispatches from the ship
Lakeland Victory, which is tak
ing Ward and his wife to Japan,
said that the recently released
consul general was accompanied
by his four cats, ranging in age
up to 16 years.
High Estate Taxes
Hits Small Business
Washington, Dec. 14 VP) A
tax expert declared today that
high estate and inheritance taxes
are slowly wiping out the na
tion's small businesses.
Federal and state tax proper
ties, he said, are forcing estate
liquidation and making it al
most impossible for a business
to pass from father to son.
This was the picture drawn
by W. T. Hackett, vice president
and trust officer of the Hunting
ton National bank of Columbus,
Ohio, before a senate-house eco
nomic committee studying ways
to encourage more investment in
small firms.
'My experience leads me to
believe," he said, "that our pres
ent high estate and inheritance
tax levies are slowly but surely
destroying the small business."
Inheritance taxes pick off
small businesses one by one,
Hackett said, as those who in
herit usually are forced to sell
to get enough cash to pay up.
Dean's father has not yet giv
en up hope that his son's sight
may be saved. Despite an opin
ion from a San Francisco doc
tor that the left eye must be re
moved to save Dean from death,
he is seeking further medical
opinion from Portland.
"An operation is the farthest
thing from our minds right
now," said the father. "We arc
hoping to obtain another exam
ination of the eye within i
week."
No NW Power
Shortage Seen
Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 14 U-R
The Pacific Northwest Utilities
conference committee announ
ced today that electric power
supplies in the region will be
adequate through the balance
of the winter, so far as can be
anticipated.
Unusually favorable precipita
tion, stream flow and tempera
ture conditions during the last
30 days have filled all power
reservoirs and now make it ap
pear probable utilities can carry
present loads through the win
ter. However, the present situa
tion does not permit northwest
utilities to take on any addi
tional house heating or large in
dustrial loads, the committee
said.
The committee met here yes
terday and will meet again
here Jan. 10.
