Oregon Duck Factory
Wins Governor's Praise
Designation of 10,000 acres of land in Alberta, Canada, as the
Oregon Duck Factory drew from Governor Douglas McKay a
statement in which he lauded the cooperation of Oregon Ducks
Unlimited and the Canadian government.
' Governor McKay told representatives of the press and radio:
"Because of another instance
of voluntary effort and farsight
edness of the United States and
Canada there has been created
a 10,000 acre breeding area with
thousands of acres of shore line.
"To make possible this reser
vation and breeding place of
nugatory fowl, the Canadian
government provided the area
and Oregon Ducks Unlimited
furnished the financing for nec
essary irrigation facilities."
"This forward looking proj
ect represents a sound conserva
tion move. It means much to
our State where outdoor recrea
tion is the basis for Oregon's
third largest industry.
"And, it is important too in
that it demonstrates again that
friendliness among neighbor na
tions affords the most sound
foundation for international accomplishment."
The sportsmen of Orecon have
been fostering this project in the
duck breeding area of Alberta
for the past five years. The exact
region is known as Plover Lake.
Announcement of the comple
tion of the project was made
known in Portland after a per
sonal inspection trip to the Ore
gon Duck Factory by Alfred H.
Schmidt, chairman of Oregon
Ducks Unlimited, and Frank
Clarke, National Field Secretary
of Ducks Unlimited.
The Oregon Duck Factory is
situated is situated in the vast
open marshland of Alberta. The
main body of the factory con
sists of a lake approximately
twelve miles long bounded by
thousands of acres of prime duck
marsh breeding land. There, nu
merous bays, Islands and marsh
es provide some of the finest
breeding areas for wild fowl on
the North American continent.
Before construction work was
begun on the project, the entire
area was in danger of becoming
an arid wasteland and thus de
priving North American water
fowl of one of Its prime breed
ing areas.
Ducks Unlimited is an inter
national organization whose sole
interest is to propagate wild
fowl in both America and Can
ada. The organization believes
that the way to improve shoot
ing is fo secure and develop
breeding grounds such as the
marsh and prairie areas of Sas
gatchewan, Alberta and Manl
loba. It Is supported wholly by
voluntary contributions of
sportsmen.
Now that the Oregon Duck
Factory project Is a realization,
it is necessary for the local chap
ter of Ducks Unlimited to main
tain the Duck Factory as their
contribution to the international
organization of Ducks Unlimit
ed.
At the present time the state
organization under the chair
manship of Alfred H. Schmidt
is engaged in filling its quota
for the year 1949-50
March of Dimes
Doubles Quota
New York, Dec. 19 OT The
National Foundation for Infan
tile Paralysis is in the worst fi
nancial condition in its history
President Basil O'Connor says,
and it will double its March of
Dimes goal.
He said yesterday that the
foundation must raise more than
$50,000,000 in January in its
annual March of Dimes cam
paign twice the amount raised
In the 1949 drive.
The crisis was caused, he
(aid, by "the largest number of
cases of infantile paralysis in
any one country in any year in
the world's history."
O'Connor said 41,481 cases
have been reported thus far this
year.
Writing to the foundation's 2,
800 local chapters, he said the
national headquarters on Dec. 1
had only $1,609,000 on hand to
meet emergency requests for the
next six months.
"Against this $1,699,000," he
said, "we already have on hand
at this moment requests for $1,
606,000 from chapters that must
have financial assistance from
national headquarters."
The 1950 March of Dimes will
start Jan. 16.

Nazi Criminals
To Be Paroled
Frankfurt, Germany, Dec. 19
yP) The U.S. army announced
today that 60 convicted German
war criminals will be released
on parole this week. Twenty-se
ven will go free tomorrow, 33
the next day.
A Landsberg prison official
said the sentences of the men to
be paroled normally would have
expired between now and next
June 30.
They are being released un
der a plan whereby prisoners
are credited with five days off
for good behavior for every
month they have served, he said.
The official, who asked that
his name not be used, said five
of those being released were
sentenced in war crime trials
held at Nurnberg.
The others were sentenced at
Dachau and other places, he said.
One of those slated for release
was understood to be Wilhelm
Bohle, described as one-time
chief of the nazi party foreign
organization.
Names of the others were not
available immediately.
Although the paroles are due
this week, the official said they
were not Christmas amnesties as
such. He said the paroles were
based solely on time credited for
good behavior.
The parole plan does not ap
ply, he said, to persons sentenc
ed to death or life imprison
ment.
Col. W. T. Babcock, U.S. de
puty commandant in Berlin, said
Rudolf Hess and other convicts
in Spandau prison were unaf
fected by the parole plan.
He pointed out that they were
tried by the international court
at Nurnberg and that any ques
tion of parole for them would
require a four-power decision.
Two Children
Perish in Fire
Sumner, Wash., Dec. 19 U.R)
Two small children perished
near here last night when a fire
gutted their small frame home
while their parents sought fran
tically to save them.
Coroner Paul Mcllingcr iden
tified the victims as Tony Cos
tclla, 5, and Bronchi Costella, 3.
Members of the local fire de
partment said the home, located
in a field about 200 yards off the
highway, was completely de
stroyed.
The father, Segundo Costella,
who had been visiting at a
neighbor's house, ran to the
building and tore out a window,
but was driven back by the in
tense heat.
Mrs. Costella told the fire de
partment she had gone to get
oil for their stove at their road
side delivery point when she
noticed the flames. But the blaze
spread too rapidly for her to
save her children.
Exact cause of the fire was-
not determined, but fire depart
ment members said the stove
may have become overheated
and ignited clothes hanging
nearby.
although rebuilt shortly before
World War II.
The blaze was believed caused
hy a fnulty heating plant.

Catholic Editor Would Boot
Santa Claus Clear Off Stage
By JOSEPH C. GOODWIN
WocfcincMnn tw in (m Is the iollv old man with the beard
and the little round belly stealing the Christmas show from the
babe in the manger?
The Catholic Review says yes. And the Review official pub
lication of the Catholic archdioceses of Washington and Balti
more thinks it's about time-
Santa Claus was booted off the
stage.
"Our Santa has become a riv
al of the holy child, often en
ough to complete exclusion of
the latter from any place in the
minds of children who learn
about the reindeer but have ne
ver heard of the ox and the
ass," says an editorial published
today in the Review's Christmas
issue. The editorial was caption
ed "unholy fraud."
It adds that "the whole Santa
idea is bad psychology and bad
pedagogy," and "even worse
theology."
The editorial was written by
the Review's editor - in - chief,
the Rev. John Sinnott Martin.
It describes Santa as "a foolish
fiction." It urges "those who
want to keep Christ in Christ
mas, or at least are willing to
give him back the place he de
serves on his birthday" to "leave
Santa to those who have nothing
better."
"Santa the saint has been lost
in Santa the sugar daddy," it
Old Time Stars of Movies Tell
What Follows Fall From Fame
By BOB THOMAS
Hollywood, Dec. 19 W) Ever wonder what happens when a
movie star falls from fame?
That thought intrigued me this week as I watched a bunch
f oldtime stars gather to honor Cecil B. DeMille, who began
shooting the first feature picture 36 years ago.
There were many stars whc
were national idols 20 and 30
years ago, but are just half-re
membered names today. I asked
some of them how they left the
Hollywood scene.
Francis X. Bushman, dashing
hero with the classic profile,
said he was ruined by the dis
closure that he had a family.
It wasn't so bad that I was
married," he remarked, "but the
real blow was that I had five
kids! Women had been writing
me to marry them and natural
ly they were outraged by the
news. I was finished.
Nowadays movie stars can
have large families and it does
n't affect their popularity. I had
to be the pioneer!"
Mae Murray, once the epitome
of glamor, told a more personal
reason for her - screen retirement.
I had risen to the heights,"
she said. "I could go no higher.
So I decided to leave it all be
hind and listen to my soul for
awhile."
William Farnum, perhaps the
highest-paid star of all time: "I
had saved $4,000,000, so I de
cided to quit and enjoy it. I
wanted to go back to the stage
and do the things I had always
yearned to do. Then the crash
of '29 wiped me out and I had
to go back to pictures. By then,
it was too late to take over
where I had left."
Herbert Rawlinson, onetime
matinee idol: "When you reach
a certain age, the face changes,
the hair turns color and you are
a different person. When I was
around 35, I found I couldn't
play romantic leads any more.
So I went back to the stage.
When I returned to pictures my
hair was white and I began play
ing characters.
Ramon Novarro, famed for
"Ben Hur"; "In Those Days, you
were a romantic hero and you
couldn't change your character.
In time, you ran out of roles and
there was nothing left for you
to do but get out."
Perhaps the most characteris
tic reply came from Theda
Bara, the screen's most famous
vamp. She said simply, "I never
quit pictures."
There's an old Hollywood say
ing that pictures quit the star.

IS SANTA STEALING SHOW?
adds. "Children are to be good
or they won't get paid with pres
ents a fine specimen of thoroly
un-Christian morality."
The Review sees a danger to
respect for parental authority in
the time when Junior first is
told that the man with the bag
is only daddy dressed up.
It also has a word for the man
inside the Santa suit: "It may be
hard on those who play the part
of the benevolent old pixie to
forego the pleasure of donning
whiskers and over-size red flan
nels. We have often suspected
that Santa was a source of more
pleasure to the grown-ups than
to the children."

DON RICHARDS suiti and

they're not expensive. Which
proves the statement I make

And DON RICHARDS has a
topcoat to set that suit off to a
