EAGLES BASKETS TO BE Crater Lake aerie, Fraternal Order of Eagles voted at its weekly meeting in lodge hall at 42 North Front street last night to finance the purchase of Christmas baskets for needy families this year out of its treasury. In the past the aerie has solici ted contributions for the Christ mas baskets from merchants but there will be no solicitation this year, said Dr. W. F. Roney, president, after the meeting. "We want to thank all the business men who have helped us so generously in the past and to let them know that we are glad that the finances of the lodge are in such good shape this year we can appropriate enough funds from our own treasury to carry on this chari table work," Dr. Roney said. Members of the lodge who know of needy families were asked to turn In their names to the basket committee of which A. H. Banwell is chair man. Flans were carried forward t last night's meeting for the Eagles dance to be held at Ori ental Gardens next Wednesday evening. Music is to be provided by Archie Legg'g recording or chestra. Proceeds will go to the aerie's drill team. After the business meetings last night, the women's auxiliary presented a play and the men of the aerie served a collation for both the men and the women.

The citizens served the bus passen gers sandwiches and hot drinks on the street until the bus com pany arranged other transportation. December was ushered In to day with two forest fires In the Applegate district of the Rogue River national forest. It was the lntest date in the year on which fires ever occurred on the forest, ' headquarters here , said. Both fires were over the bor der in California. One was near the Daffodil mine, the other near Oak Flat. Size of the fires had not been reported to head quarters. Cause had not been determined. The blazes were discovered yesterday afternoon by Lee Port, district ranger. He sent 40 CCC men from Camp Apple gate under Foreman Dee Mills to the fires. Mills reported by telephone this morning that the Oak Flat fire had been con trolled and that the men were starting on the other blaze. The fire spread slowly and was con fined to the ground cover, doing no damage to the yellow pine trees In the area, Mills reported. November is the month of East Texas' heaviest loss from forest fires. Bear Warning Berkeley, Calif. (P) Even persons hardy enough to kill bears and eat their meat must resort to household precautions or risk death, University of Cali fornia scientists warn. Like some pork, the university medi cal school has found, bear meat may be a source of deadly tri chinosis. Hunters should cook the flesh thoroughly. TO t Continued from rucja One.) Cooperation, La Junta, Colo. (P) High school home economics students wanted to "go goldfish gulpers one better," so they caught a rattlesnake and ate It. Three high school teachers, one a woman, joined the class in a "snake steak" meal after the rattler was skinned and cooked. They said the meat "tasted swell." White Buffalo. Juneau, Alaska. (Pi One of those million-to-one freaks of nature, an albino buffalo, has been sighted several times with a herd in the Big Delta country south of Fairbanks. Dr. Wil liam T. Hornaday, fained con servationist, says probably not more than 10 or 11 white buf falo have ever been seen by white men. Closing time for Too Late to Clas sify Ads la 1:30 p. m. the president asked Russia and Finland to pledge before the world that they would refrain from bombing defenseless civil ians and unfortified cities. The president's plea was made public shortly after Hjalmar J. Procope, the Finnish minister, told newsmen Soviet warplanes had dropped bombs on Helsinki and nine other communities in Finland all of which, he said, were unfortified. The minister also said he had received numerous messages from Americans expressing sym pathy for his country and indig nation at Russia s invasion. No Reprisal Plans At the press conference the president, when questioned, had nothing to say about possible ap plication of the neutrality law to the Russo-Finnish conflict, nor did he comment on whether the United States was consider ing withdrawing recognition of Soviet Russia. He did say he probably would discuss the Baltic situation with congressional leaders by tele phone but planned no formal conference. To a question whether Laur ence Steinhardt, ambassador to Moscow, would be" called to Washington for consultation, the president said he could not an swer this. But he explained there was so little information coming in because of communi cations difficulties by telephone through Estonia and Sweden this country would do nothing until more positive information was at hand. Asked whether export of war- planes to Russia might be for bidden because of the bombings of civilian populations, the pres ident recalled the notes he ad dressed early to Russia and Fin land asking civilians be spared and said there had been no re plies as yet. Russia Silent Responding to another1 ques tion, he also said Russia had not replied' to the recent note making available the good of fices of the United States in set tling the dispute with Finland. In his message to the Russian and Finnish governments which read almost word for word like his previous appeal to Germany and the allies the president asked both countries to avoid a resort to the "in human barbarism" of aerial at tacks on civilian centers. Mr. Roosevelt said "the ruth less bombing from the air of civilians in unfortified centers of population" recently had re sulted "in the maiming and in the death of thousands of de fenseless men, women and chil dren" and had "sickened the hearts of every civilized man and woman." "If resort is had to this form of Inhuman barbarism during the period of the tragic confla gration with which the world is now confronted, the prest dent continued, "hundreds of thousands of innocent human beings who are not even remote ly participating in hostilities will lose their lives. "I am therefore addressing this appeal to the Soviet gov ernment (Finnish government in the message to Helsinki) . . . publicly to affirm its determin ation that its armed forces shall in no event, and under no cir cumstances, undertake the bom bardment from the air of civil ian populations or of unforti fied cities, upon the understand ing that these same rules of war fare will be scrupulously ob served by all of their opponents. "I request an immediate reply." High officials waited primar ily to see what answer would come from Russia, which some authorities estimate was 7,000 military planes. They were con fident Finland, with 150 war planes, would acquiesce promptly. To Jail Over "Please." Maiden, Mass. (UP) Don ald W. Lovett, 23, when asked why he struck and kicked Her man Dearborn, motor vehicle inspector, replied: "He didn't say 'please' when he asked to see my license and automobile registration."

Average age of the government worker is in the 30 s. Before the new deal the aver age age was higher, but the election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the great oppor tunity for young Democrats. They gathered in Washington like a swarm of bees; were "cleared" through their con gressmen, state chairman, coun ty chairman, national commit teemen and with all these in dorsements were appointed to a $1200 a year job. Today there are 925,000 gov ernment payrollees compared with 583,000 when Mr. Roose velt was sworn in March, 1933. This for the nation as a whole. Of the present total, more than 300,000 obtained their jobs without taking civil service. When Herbert Hoover left the White House 83 percent of the workers were under civil serv- WASHINGTON, ("the district" is the common expression), cannot house all the people in government, so thousands live in nearby Maryland and Vir ginia, driving back and forth to work. These cars are parked for miles along the curbs of streets and roadways in the parks. There is no other place for them. When a special rate of five cents a day was proposed in a plan for parking lots, the workers denounced the price as an out rage and a gyp. Twice As Good? Roanoke, Va.
