Man, Nearing 60, Still
Is Active as Bellhop
. Boston. (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.

Red Cross Drive
For Funds Slated
Here During March
Red Cross workers of the
Jackson county chapter are pre
paring for their annual fund
raising drive, to be held through
out the month of 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

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.

Scientist Advances
Theory for Source
Of Aurora Borealis
- Boulder, Colo. (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. .
