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.

Road Mercy
Roanoke, Va. (IP) Stranded
travelers forced to dismount
from a disabled bus here were
chilled by winter winds but
warmed by the spontaneous hos
pitality of nearby residents. 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.

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." Lovett was
jailed.

Detective W. W. Caldwell owes
his life to a time-piece that will
tick no more. A man, surprised
in a freight car, fired two shot
gun charges at close range at
Caldwell. A heavy watch in the
detective's pocket caught the
first shot; the second went wild.

Sydney, N. S. W. CUP) An
official of the Orange (N. S. W.)

ground. He tied an electric
torch to the tail of the mechan

the light.

Quincy, Cal. (UP) A one

discovered by E. E. Boehm,
Plumas national forest district
ranger. The dog locates a fire
by the sense of smell and arriv
ing at the scene sets to work to
control it by digging a line

questions asked. Average age of
the government worker is in the

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

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.

is the common expression),
cannot house all the people in

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.
