But the fact is Maxim Ra din, 80, found two honest men, and two honest children. Radin sold his home in Oak land some time ago and took a train to New York, where he arrived Aug. 21. He check ed into the Hotel Ashley just off Times Square, carrying two battered suitcases and an old linen valise. Radin told hotel employes he was returning to his native Yugoslavia "to die." He was to sail aboard the Italian liner Vulcania for Trieste, but the ship sailed without him Aug. 23 and he was no longer seen around the hotel. Room Rented Again Hotel employees put the two suitcases in storage, hop ing nothing had happened to the kindly old man. Monday, Radin's room was rented to Mr. and Mrs. James H. La badie, vacationing in New York from Winnetka, 111. The Labadie's two children were playing in the room later when they found the linen valise under the bed. They turned it over to their father, who called in another honest man, hotel manager Michael Funk. Funk opened the valise for one of the surprises of his life. In it were Radin's un used ticket, his passport, and cashier's checks totalling $11, 067, thirty-three $20 gold pieces, and $3,800 in folding money.

Hours later, after Radin's disappear ance was carried on news wires across the country, the retired barber was found in an Oakland rooming house. Radin said he went for a walk in New York and be came tired and confused and could not find the Hotel Ash ley nor recall its name. He said a policeman tried to help him, but it was no use. Growing discouraged, Ra din used some cash he car ried in a money belt to fly back to Oakland last Tuesday night. When newsmen told Radin his money had been found and wouk be returned to him, the old man exclaimed: "Who's that Greek philos opher Diogenes? There's an honest man in New York!

"The Democratic party is much more popular than the GOP," a memorandum to par ty officials said. "Hence the word 'Democrat' enhances a candidate's popularity, while the word 'Republican' has the reverse effect." The memo said "the effects of such words have been dem onstrated in communications experiments." George Belknap, polling di rector for the Democratic Na tional committee, sent the memo to committee members and other party functionaries. Belknap's document said "an overlooked fact" about the Aug. 17 Gallup Poll which gave Vice President Richard M.' Nixon a 50 to 44 per cent edge over Democratic presi dential nominee John F. Ken nedy "was the omission of the words 'Democratic' and "Republican' from the ques tions." The memo maintained that Nixon's percentage was inflat ed bcause the word "Repub lican" was not attached to his name and Kennedy was not identified as a Democrat. Dismissing this titular ne glect as "not very important," Belknap said "it may even help prevent overconfidence on our part." "However, it does remind us of the positive effect of the use of the words 'Demo crat' and 'Democratic' both in polls and in campaigning," he said.

Grange Notes Roxy Ann Grange Twenty-five members and two guests attended the last meeting of the Roxy Ann Grange Home Economics club at the home of Mrs. Don Slater on Roberts rd.

UmI r 1 m m m ,',i.i'M;w;r Mi.ww.n mu-T w?uvi.:u:irm Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins This diminutive sea turtle pays a severe price for pos sessing the most beautiful shell of all the turtle clan. The Hawksbill is the one we so often see mounted, and hung on a wall. Because its gorgeous shell is adaptable to bending, shaping and fashion ing, it is used in the manufac ture of a wide assortment of hair combs and numerous or naments. Because of the beauty of this material, it lends itself well to jewel boxes, napkin holders and fancy hair orna ments as well as many other objects for which people will pay money. 13 Plates The shell of the Hawksbill turtle is composed of 13 plates of various sizes; these plates overlap like the shingles on a roof, or like the scales of a fish. Each plate is highly colored, with various shades of brown and tan, with deli cate black markings. It has a peculiar smoky appearance and the lustre and polish of fine old pottery. Once removed from the tur tle, the plates are subjected to heat which renders them almost as flexible as heavy rubber. While still warm from immersion in hot water, the plate can be molded, or shap ed into any desired position; when cooled it will hold the assumed shape. It also can be EMPLOYEES' DEMAND Havana - IUP1I - Employees of the English-language daily newspaper Havana Post de manded Saturday that the Cuban government take over the paper.

One very popu lar use was in the manufac ture of high - combs, which held up the lace mantilla of Spanish senoritas. With the exception of one or two times each year, the female Hawksbill, remains al ways in the sea. On her trips ashore to lay her eggs, she is at a terrible disadvantage. She is clumsy and awkward on land and very slow, sub ject to many enemies, one of the worst of which is man. Now, too, there is added danger, for no more are there any lonely beaches; every beach the turtle tries, to land on is visited, or frequently occupied by people who, hav ing no respect for beauty, or regard for the helpless, kill the would-be mother, or miss ing that gory opportunity, lat er visit the beach and search out and destroy her eggs. The Hawksbill, smallest and handsomest of all turtles, grows fewer and fewer with every passing year. A terrible price it must pay just because I faK&fl SHEET MAI- CO.
