(U.R) Although he is edging 60, "Red" Keefe is still active as a bellhop at a Back Bay hoteL B?llboys work harder for what they get these days than they did ' years ago, Reu says, but he loves the work. "I expect to be doing it 10 or - 20 years longer," he said. The red-haired bellhop already has been on the job nearly 40 years. followed by. a slight recovery this month, the State Unemploy ment Compensation commission said. But the number of those look ing for jobs continues several thousand above similar figures last winter. . Unemployed To Drop Completed reports from near ly 1,200 firms indicate 421,300 persons employed in trade, serv ice and industrial pursuits last month compared with a low of 426,400 last winter and 476,100 last summer. As February opened, 50,151 were seeking work, but the number is expected to " drop when March 1 reports are com piled next week, although pos sibly not to the 35,115 listed a year ago. Heavy snows in the higher regions forced many timber crews into idleness during the early weeks of 1952. Only 53,- 200 were engaged in logging and sawmills against 61,900 last year. Construction work also dropped to a two-year low. Jan uary s report showed 21,000 jobs as compared with 23,300 a year ago and a recent high of 34,000 in September, 1950. Claims Turn Upward Unemployment claims turned upward again last week after declining steadily from the Mid- January peak or 6,124 initial and 34,196 continued claims Part of the upturn was due to pre-holiday filing, however, and local offices of the commission expect considerable improve ment in the job situation in March.

March was named "Red Cross month" by President Truman, who opened the 1952 fund ap peal during a radio program last night. "Answer the Call" is the slogan of the drive this year. An "absolute minimum" of $85,- 000,000 is being sought to early on the heaviest responsi bilities the organization has ever faced except in time of all out war." No Reserves , For the first time since before World War U no reserve funds are available to apply to the coming year, .according to Red Cross National President E. Roland Harriman. "Only through rigid econo mies in operation was it possible to hold the 1952 goal to $85, 000,000,". Harriman said. "The organization's board of gover nors and the leadership in our 3,700 chapters have geared Red Cross budgets to provide in creased services to men and women in' the nation's armed forces, to continue the growth of the life-saving blood pro gram to meet the needs of vic tims of disaster emergencies, and to continue health and safe ty activities." Utah City Seeks Colorado Town's Support To Secede Vernal, Utah (U.R) Eastern Utah's key city, Vernal, Thurs day invited western Colorado's oil center of Rangely to join in seceding from their home states and forming a 49th state. Rangely announced Wednes day night that it was mad at Colorado because a state-produced natural resources map ignored petroleum and Range ly is one of the' nation's major oil centers. , Suggests Joining Forces Secretary Frank Ward of the Vernal Chamber of Commerce telegraphed Rangely Thursday suggesting they join forces. "We're unhappy with Utah," Ward said. "We're ignored most of the time. Vernal : is nearly 200 miles east of the capital at Salt Lake City and the terrain in between is sparsely populated. But with in the last three years Vernal has also developed into a major oil producer. Ulaco Suggested "We might call the new state 'UtacoV to combine, the .names of the states we want to leave," Ward added. "Or we might name it 'Richland' to boast of bur oil. Or even 'Dinosoria' be cause of the famed prehistoric fossils found in the area, still enveloped in the earth layers that produce the oiL Ants Said Used To Rid Birds of Lice Washington (U.R) Ants can be an asset, according to Arthur Cleveland Bent of the Smith sonian Institution. The hermit thrush and several other varieties of birds snatch ants and place them in their feathers, usually under , their wings, to- get rid of lice. Bent said. They also may kill ants and spread the juice over their bodies or dust themselves in ant hills. Some ornithologists believe the birds-even eat ants to rid themselves of internal parasites. The iouse-repelling power of the ants springs from the formic acid they secrete. MEDFORD PHARMACY 127 EAST 6TH Just Off Central For Complete . Prescription Service 9 A.M. . 10 30 PM.

(U.R) A Harvard university scientist ad vanced a new theory for the source of the aurora borealis, the "northern lights" of the Arc tic regions. Dr. Donald H. Menzel, physi cist and associate director for solar research at Harvard uni versity, said the streamers of light are caused by hydrogen gas from outer space breaking through the earth's magnetic field. Particles Luminescent When the gas breaks through, the scientist said, the hydrogen particles become luninescent upon contact with the earth's atmosphere some 200 miles above the earth's surface. Menzel, a visitor to the Uni versity of Colorado high alti tude observatory h?re, based his theory on findings of the Harvard-Colorado and the Yer kes and Cornell observatories. Sun Shoots Gas The Colorado observatory dis covered the sun shoots out streamers of almost pure hydro gen gas, and the earth is continu ally plowing through the gas formations. Menzel believes the energy and heat thrown off by the hy drogen atoms could have an im portant effect on both weather and radio reception. Man's Retirement Dream Under Water Grafton. W. Va. (U.R) A re tired railroad man purchased a small tract of land for $66.75 on which to spend his retirement along the Tygert river. However, the nronertv. boueht at a sale conducted by the state commissioner of forfeited and delinquent lands, didn't turn out so well. And the commissioner isn't willing to take it back. The lot was found 70 feet un der water, caused by construc tion of the Tygerts dam. Com mented the commissioner: "I'm sorry to say the purchaser has expended his money for nothing." Limitation on Bonds For Cropduslers Told Only "third party" landown ers are protected by financial responsibility bonds accepted by the state from aerial cropdust ers, it was announced today by the State Department of Agriculture. The 1951 agricultural chemi cal control act regulating the application of agricultural ma terials covers only landowners situated within a legally estab lished protected area, the de partment said. The policy of the department is based on an opinion of the attorney general, which holds that the department may accept for filing as proof of financial responsibility a bond or insur ance policy which indemnifies only landowners in such an area. Owners of property which is be ing Jreated are not protected by such bonds. . Starting Sunday.
