Help For the Hard-ofIearing
I just read an etellcnt little
book writt', by L. A. Watson
(Maico Foundation. Minneapolis
1. Miss.. 91). It e.lains why
ome persons who are hard-of-heang
can &t great help from
a hearing-aid while others will
have difficulty using one. It ex
plains also why some ?ersens
can hear better in aQibisy place.
The major part of the "book
deals with auditory re-training
and lip reading. The author tells
ho a (gerson wii some knowl
edge or lip-reading can learn
more by watching the wouths
of persons on television, with the
oeech part turned way down.
Watson gives a ohelpful list of
the most common words used in
the English langiyge the
words which must first be
recognized by the person who is
going to learn to read lips.
Dr. Alvarez hopes his read
ers will understand that it
would be impossible for him to
answer requests for information
or to attempt to diagnose by
mail.

were recovered, indicating that
the thieves wanted only cash.
Portland Teen-Agers

load of teen-aged youths forced
his ear off tha road and then
punched him in the face several
"time.
It was the third time in three

talized here as a result of teen
age action.
Marvin P. Brocker said he
was driving when the teen-agers'
car collided with his. He said
that he tried to protest but a
six-foot youth began striking
him. Brocker was treated for fa
cial cuts.
Meanwhile, authorities arrest

Firemen Delayed;
Flames Kill Five
Meriden, Conn. OI.Ri A ten
ement fire snuffed out the lives
of five members of a family late
Sunday night while firemen
were delayed by a train.
The general alarm blaze sent
four other members of the fam
ily to a hospital where one was
listed in critical condition.
Two hundred persons were
evacuated from an adjoining
theater.
Dead were Mrs. Eulalia Rios,
39, and her children Gladys, 17.
Eddie 3, Eddie Nelson 4, and
Isabel!, 6. A medical examiner
said all five suffocated.
Hospitalized in poor condition
was Edward, 5.
The father, Luis, 41, another
son Jose, 19, and a brother of
Mrs. Rios. Alberto Moralis, 23.
were listed in "fairly good" con
dition. Assistant Fire Chief Walter
Sadowski said firemen were de
layed by a train. "It was less
than a minute because it was a
fast passenger train," he said,
"but it could have been serious
if it had been a freight." There
are eight grade crossings in the
heart of this city which is on a
main New York-to-Boston line.

he has had far less experience

By RUSSELL JONES
United Press Correspondent
Camp Kilmer, N.J. U.R)
Bela Szabo, late of Rakoczi ave.,
Budapest, and now of Barracks
No. 2120 of this old Army camp,
has one dollar in his pocket and
he doesn't intend to spend it.
But this will be the happiest
Christmas he ever spent.
"My Christmas presents came
early this year," Szabo said.
"They were the smiling faces
of the young men who stand be
hind the counter giving us food.
"They were the boys laughing
and joking in the kitchen and in
the streets. They were the sol
diers shouting as they unloaded
the beds that went into our
room.
"It's been so long since I
heard anyone laugh.
Chat in Mess Hall
Szabo talked to me as we sat
in the mess hall where he. his
pretty wie, Suzanne, and their
daughter Martha, 2V2, were eat
ing. Anna, their 4-month-old
daughter, was sleeping in' the
barracks.
"I don't have any presents for
the children or my wife," he
said, "but I'm not going to spend
the dollar I was given. It's the
first one I've ever had, and I
want to keep it as a token of the
new and good life we will start
here in this wonderful country
of yours."
Szabo arrived here on Dec. 21
after fleeing their shell wracked
home on Nov. 30. A radio engi
neer who was employed in Hun
gary's only radar factory, he
hopes to get similar work in this
country.
"I was one of the elite," he
said. "With 2450 forints (about
S220) a month, I got more than
twice as much as most workers.
"But, even so, we couldn't
celebrate Christmas last year.
Worked Last Christmas
"The 'peace loans' took most
of my salary, and the only thing
we could afford to mark the day
was a little cake for little Mar
tha. Because our factory had a
'Socialist competition' 1 had to
work anyway.
"Last Christmas was like
every other day gray, dismal
and joyless."
Today Szabo's eyes opened
wide as he read' a translation of
the Christmas menu roast tur
key with dressing, shrimp cock
tail, candied yams, peas, salad,
mince and pumpkin pie, candies
and nuts.
"But even if it were just po
tatoes and bread like we used
to eat at home," he said, "it
would be wonderful for us. Just
to be here where we can talk
as we want, do as we want,
dream about a life for our girls
that's the best Christmas
we'll ever have."

HOCKEY
NATIONAL LEAGUE
By United Press
Just when things were going
right for the Boston Bruins they
ran into what may turn out to
be their jinx team in the Nation
al Hockey league this season
the Chicago Black Hawks.
The Bruins, coasting along
without star goalie, Terry Saw
chuk, saw their first-place lead
shaved by a point when the De
troit Red Wings and the Mon
treal Canadiens, tied for second
place, battled to a 3-3 tie while
they were dropping a 4-1 deci
sion to the Hawks.
In other action, the Toronto
Maple Leafs moved to within
two points of the fourth -place
New York Rangers on the
strength of two third period
goals by Rudy Migay for a' 3-1
win over the New Yorkers.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
By United Press
It s the day before Christmas
and all through the American
Hockey league a quiet calm fills
the air. But listen hard. You'll
hear them ask the question:
"Are the Providence Reds mak
ing their move?"
Most people say "Yes!" And
after the New York Ranger farm
team's 3-2, come - from - behind
overtime victory over Hershey
Sunday it's hard to disagree.
The Reds have won five
straight. They've moved from
fourth to a comfortable first,
four points ahead of the Bears.
Bronco Horvath's twin goals
highlighted Rochester's 4-1 tri
umph over Springfield and Lar
ry Wilson notched three assists
to spur Buffalo to a 4-2 win over
Cleveland in other games.
Mathematical Orderliness
Of Stars Source of Comfort
By FAY BENTLEY
In times of stress or deep sor
row many people find the awe
inspiring beauty and mathemat
ical orderliness of the starry hea
vens to be a source of comfort.
It was ven so with the early
Christians during days of well
nigh unbearable persecution. Es
pecially during the yuletide sea
son when thoughts are naturally
centered on places, events, and
objects connected with the nativ
ity did they look to the skies
for signs and symbols of com
fort and assurance.
Seen as Symbol
To them the three stars in
Orion's belt symbolized the wise
men ever journeying from the
east. A very apt comparison as
this short line of stars first ap
pears on the eastern horizon and
nightly moves a little more to
the west. These evenly spaced
suns of equal brightness march
across the heavens side by side,
much as travelers might walk.
By 8:30 p.m. the "Three Wise
Men" are about half way up
in the southeastern heavens. You
can easily find the short, slant
ed line of three glittering stars,
which forms the belt of Orion.
The Northern Cross, low in
the northwest, is another group
of stars to which the early Chris
tian attached significance. That
tiie Cross, emblem of the relig
ion for which they had suffered
and many died, should be shin-,
ing in the heavens at the anni
versary of their Saviour's birth
day seemed to them an omen of
greatest importance.
Many people today feel it is
especially fitting to see this
beautiful asterism or star fig
ure standing upright on the
northwestern horizon during the
yuletide season.
Part of Constellation
As mentioned above, the
Northern Cross is a star figure
or asterism; part of the constel
lation, Cygnus the Swan.
In mythology, Cygnus was a
close friend of the lad, Phaethon,
whose father was the sun-god,
Apollo. On the day that Phae
thon, tried to drive the shining
chariot across the sky, Cygnus
was watching the amazing spec
tacle. Imagine his horror when
Phaethon lost control of the
horses and was finally thrown
headlong from the chariot into
the waters of the river Ediran
us! Cygnus was deeply grieved
and dived again and again into
the river in a fruitless effort to
recover the body of his friend.
Turned Into Swan
Finally, in compassion for his
great sorrow, the gods turned
him into a swan that he might
forever watch the river. For
further consolation a star group
in the sky above him was named
Cygnus the Swan.
In this star picture, the head
of the bird forms the foot of the
cross and in the bird's outstretch
ed wings the upper part of the
cross is easily traced.
During the Christmas season,
about 8 p.m., a perfect cross
may be seen standing upright
on the extreme northwestern
horizon; a very fitting emblem
of the spirit of yuletide.
Ogden Hard on
Bad Check Artists
Ogden, Utah (U.R) It's get
ting so a bad check artist can't
even make a fast buck in this
city of 75,000.
The Chamber of Commerce,
cooperating with the city's de
tective bureau and department
stores has come up with this
plan.
When police learn a person
suspected of passing bad checks
is headed for. Ogden they call
warnings to 10 downtown mer
chants with store switchboards.
Each switchboard operator then
notifies 10 other stores, giving a
description of the offender, his
methods and other pertinent in
formation. All data is passed on
to employees.
Clerks, in turn, notify police
immediately if they suspect
someone of attempting to cash
a rubber check.
The city, having tried the sys
tem with success during past hol
iday seasons, now is planning to
use it all year.
Norman Anda, chairman of the
chamber's retail merchants di
vision estimates the warning
plan "can save Ogden area mer
chants thousands of dollars per
year."
LEFT HOLDING THE SOCK
Los Angeles (U.R) Colleen
Kennedy was knitting frantical
ly today to finish some Christmas
work mdone by a thief. Police
were holding one sock of Miss
Kennedy's Christmas present to
her fiance as evidence after
seizing a man as he tried to
make off with a knitting box
from her car.

the holidays with her sister and

CUSSING FINES PAY- OFF
Huntsville, Ala. (U.R)
Some 1,400 cuss words, uttered
the past 10 weeks at the Army
