Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE, DELTA, UTAH CHRISTMAS SEALS Tuberculosis Is Nation's Most Costly Communicable Disease In its never-endin- g battle against tuberculosis, the National Tubercu-losis Association again this year continues its sale of Christmas seals for funds with which to carry on its program of education, medical research and rehabilitation against 'the nation's most costly communi-cable disease. The story of Christmas seals in this countr; is the story of the battle against a disease that takes more than 40,000 lives a year in the United States. SWAP I OUT-- W BUY AND USE CHRISTMAS SEALS Christmas seals have been sold in this country since 1907. In that year, the late Miss Emily P. Bissell put on a seal sale in her home town of Wilmington, Del., to raise funds to help a group of doctors continue the treatment of a small number of tuberculosis patients. When a Phila-delphia newspaper threw its sup- - nnrt hphinrl thp sale. SUCCeSS WaS assured and $3,000 was realized. Miss Bissell's goal had been $309. THE IDEA was imported from Denmark. In that country, Christ-mas seals had been sold in 1904, the year the NTA was organized, because an obscure postal clerk, Einar Holboell, thought people should help needy children at Christmas time. He conceived the idea of a Christmas seal on letters as a way to raise money. The first seal funds in Denmark were used to build a sanatorium for tuber-- . culous children. Jacob A. Riis, an American citi-zen of Danish birth, proved the bridge over which the seal traveled from Denmark to America. He wrote an article about the Danish seal which was published in this country, and suggested that the idea be adopted. Miss Bissell re-membered the article when she was looking for a means of raising funds and acted on his suggestions. THE AMERICAN Christmas seals are sold by local tuberculosis asso-ciation which retain approximately 75 per cent of the proceeds. The balance is forwarded to the state association which, in turn, allocated six per cent to the national. Thus, 94 per cent of seal funds are used to support tuberculosis control pro-grams within the state where the money was contributed. The national and local associa-tions are fighting tuberculosis on four broad fronts: 1. Education getting true facts about tuberculosis and its preven-tion to large groups of people. 2. Case finding searching out tuberculosis wherever it is and see-ing that treatment is provided for persons with active disease. 3. Rehabilitation helping the tuberculosis patient adjust to his changed condition and prepare for useful living when his disease is arrested. 4. Medical research aiding quali-fied investigators, through annual grants, in their continuous search for more knowledge about tuber-:ulosi- This is the broad program of NTA that benefits when Americans buy Christmas seals. --WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Attempt Made to Kill President; Master Defense Plan for Europe Reportedly Agreed on by Allies (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed In these columns, they are those of Western Newspaper Union's new analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.)

TRUMAN: ! Escapes Assassination j' For the first time in history an attempt was made to assassinate a president of the United States at his official residence. The plot came to an end in a blazing gun battle at the very steps of Blair House, the temporary White House. The assassins were identified as Griselio Torresola, who died almost instantly of wounds, and Oscar seriously wounded, both of New York. The men were members of the Puerto Rican Nationalist party which started an uprising in Puerto Rico a few days before the attempted assassination. Three policemen on duty at Blair House at the time of the attack were wounded. One of the guards, Pvt. Leslie Coffelt, 40, died a short time later in a Washington hospital. The other two were reported seri-ously injured. According to best reports the two assassins approached Blair House, one from the east and one from the west. Collazzo opened fire first when within 10 feet of a policeman on duty at the steps of Blair House. Two other guards at posts near the steps opened fire on Collazzo. Meanwhile, Torresola, within a few seconds of Collazzo's opening shot, opened fire in front of Lee House, which adjoins the Blair man-sion on the westerly side. Guards returned the fire and within seconds both would-b- e assas-sins were shot down. Collazzo is reported to have told police that he and Torresola came to Washington "with the express purpose of shooting the President". On Torresola's body was found a letter and a memorandum both cryptic but indicative of conspiracy of the Nationalists to kill Mr. Tru-man. The attack resulted in an im-mediate crack-dow- n on the Na-tionalist party in Puerto Rico which has demanded independence of the Head liners "The time has long since passed when the world can be stirred to hope by general phrases of the Soviet Union about disarmament and peace and German unity," Secretary of State Dean Acheson said in rejecting a Cominform pro-posal for a unified Germany. "You can have all the glittering front that's left in Europe today. I've had enough," said Barbara Hutton, American heiress who had four husbands, three of them Euro-pean. "It is useful for the American government to show in practice that it is ready to help other peo-ple rather than issuing propaganda as some other countries do," Premier Tito of Yugoslavia said in announcing his drought-damage- d country would get U.S. aid. EUROPE: Master Defense Plan The will and a plan for the de-fense of Europe against any ag-gression was made known to the world when the Atlantic pact na-tions reportedly agreed on a uni-fied army of about 50 divisions, strong fleets in the Atlantic and Mediterranean and a mighty air armada based in Britain and on the continent. The plans called for General Dwight D. Eisenhower to be named supreme commander of the col-lective armed forces. The defense plan would reach full force as soon as possible and hot later than 1953, it was reported. The plan is a further step in the armament for defense program outlined in a recent speech by President Truman. The western world has accepted the belief that United States. The Communist party, afraid of being involved in the plot, immedi-ately disavowed any connection with it and termed the attempt a 1950 version of the "Reichstag-fir- e frame-u- p in Hitler Germany." TIBET: Invasion Ordered The Indian government which had tried to appease both the east and west in the current battle for freedom, received a rude shock with the official confirmation that Communist China had ordered her troops into Tibet. India had thrown its weight be-hind the move to seat Communist China in the United Nations. With the invasion of Tibet, Prime Min-ister Pandit Nehru found himself in a difficult position. Red armies were at the border of India and it appeared likely that Nehru would be forced to review his policies. If Communist China and Russia continue their present partnership in foreign policy and exploitation of China's natural resources, the disappearance of free Tibet will bring a formidable combination of Communist-power- s to bear against India. Nehru finds himself now in a very unfavorable situation in the struggle for dominance in Asia. Russia understands only armed strength. In the new plan, the U.S. would furnish five to 10 divisions, more than half the warships, all stra-tegic bombers, and five to 10 groups of tactical fighter planes. France reportedly would provide 20 to 28 divisions; Britain about five; Bel-gium, Luxembourg, and the Neth-erlands five to 10, and Italy about 10. Britain would contribute a small-er number of warships than the United States, but would share the major responsibility for sea power. CASUALTIES: Climb to 26,701 The terrible price of war was brought home to the American peo-ple with the announcement that U.S. casualties in Korea numbered 26,701. The latest tabulation included 3,683 killed in action, 18,682 wound-ed and 4,337 missing in action. The offical figure on total deaths was 4,125. In addition to those killed In action, it included 442 who died of wounds and listed as miss-ing those whose capture by North Koreans and subsequent death was confirmed. The army casualties totaled the navy 252, the marine corps 3,133 and the air force 176. STRUCTION Auctioneering Learn at nnr 2 chant recordings. tirf ' "kT Order or write Box 61, ta """""Me.' WANTEP.

Now under contract to 20th Century-Fo- x for the second time, with a stretch in the Coast Guard and a Selznick contract in between, he recently finished "Rogue River", for Ventura Pic-tures. He plays a lumberjack, which was right up his alley; he worked for a while as a forest fire fighter. Peggy Dow, Universal-International-rising starlet, was told she must gain 10 pounds before shoot-ing started with Jimmy Stewart on the "Harvey" set. The studio physician and two fashion design-ers said fashion stylists' passion for slimness was undermining the health of our screen stars! So Peggy went home to Athens, Tenn., and fattened up on mama's cooking. Virginia Huston, who recently finished a year's stay in a hospital as the result of a back injury, was chosen from 150 candidates to por-tray "Jane" in "Tarzan's Peril". She is the 15th "Jane" in the long series. Frances (Mrs. Samuel) Goldwyn s open letter to her husband will ap-pear in the December Woman's Home Companion; don't miss it.

So Goldwyn had Danny bleach his hair. Success! THIRD RICHEST GIRL CORNER By Richard H. Wilkinson IT had happened back in West-chester IF or most anywhere in the world except here on the edge of a high mesa at the rim of Death Valley it would have made the front pages of every newspaper in the country. The reading public would have been delighted. This was explainable, for Joan Roberts was the third richest girl in the United I I States, and what- - -- Minute ever happened to 3 F'Ctl0n her was news. If , j the reporters had been on hand that day she had her face slapped, the telegraph wires would have hum-med. If they had known that the man who slapped her face was a cowhand, editorial offices would have been thrown into a shambles. Joan Roberts and Lanky Andrews, who was the cowboy, had ridden away from the Wagon Wheel ranch that afternoon with the idea of watching the sunset from the rim of Howling Coyote Mesa. This was not the first time they had ridden off alone together. At first Joan thought Lanky's attitude of deference was a pose, but later she decided he was acting quite natural. The discovery delighted her. Casually she had observed Lanky Andrews without appear-ing to do so. She registered the fact that he was a good deal more handsome than you no-ticed at first glance. Nothing about his manner or what he said was affected. Lanky Andrews kissed Joan as effectively as she had ever been kissed. Casually, too, she made inquiries about him and learned, to her astonishment, that he owned a Harvard diploma and a small cat-tle ranch down on the Mojave. Her frequent trips into the des-3- rt with Lanky, coupled with the knowledge she had acquired gave Joan, so to speak, a new lease on life. Up to now her general out-look was bitter. She trusted no one. She hated people who posed. Lanky Andrews, without knowing it, gradually changed all that. Joan prolonged her visit and demanded Lanky's services more and more. She tried to be nice to him, tried to give the im-pression that she appreciated what he was doing for her. But Lanky remained the same. He was a good dude wrangler. He was dependable, kind, thoughtful, courteous, but never personal. That is, he was never personal until the evening they stood on the edge of Howling Coyote Mesa and watched the sun ease down into the desert. Without turning her head Joan said: "It's lovely!" And Lanky Andrews, unexpectedly and without warning, turned to her and said: "That sunset's a washout compared to you." And he kissed her as effectively as Joan had ever been kissed. NOW LANKY was acting like men Joan knew and un-derstood. She acted on impulse. She slapped his face. "Why you " he began anj slapped her face, a resounding crack. Joan stared at him, mouth open, cheeks white. "How dare you!" "By the same right you dare to slap me," Lanky said easily. "You you apparently, Mr. An-drews, you don't know who I am. I'm the third richest girl in the United States!" "So what? I'm the best dude wrangler anywhere around. I'm just as human as you. Just because you've got more dough than 1 doesn't give you any more rights or make me any less feeling." "Why, you you." "Well, what? Can't you think oi anything to say? Of course you can't. Time you learned a few things." This time Joan didn't say any-thing. She merely gaped at him She was conscious of only one thought, one feeling, one fear: He might not kiss her again. But he did, and the newspapers had to be satisfied with the result They were never told about the faceslapping episode, but the storj of subsequent events was plenty tc make lovely big black headlines BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET l'nov-lt-A- II Louie Comes Up Willi a Good Suggestion By BILLY ROSE Did anyone ever tell you the story of Know-It-All-Lou- ie, the East Side tough guy who thought he knew everything about everything? Well, it's been told, retold and mistold in the coffee-houses of Allen Street for as long as I can remember, and today, in the interests of folklore and folderol, I'd like to pass it along . . . As tell it, Louie had achieved quite a reputation as a know-it-a- ll by the time he was kicked out of P.S. 20 after spending three years in the seventh grade. And before he had worn out his first pair of bellbottoms, this reputation had carried over into the poolrooms of the section where he seldom played but never missed a chance to criticize those who did. On the rare occasions when he did play, he always had a handy excuse for his ineptness the cushions were too their driving. NICK THE CARP turned State's evidence and settled for and Louie might have done the same but he insisted he could win an ac-quittal. "I know da law," he said. "I wuzzen atta scene a da crime, I wuzza block away. And when 1 get inna witness chair, I'll tell "em a t'ing or two." Well, as it turned out, the know-it-a-told 'em so many things that the judge sentenced him to the elec-tric chair. "I shoulda been my own mout'piece," said Louie. "Dat stupe offa lawyer couldn hardly talk no English." would be nice to chronicle that reformed during the last mournful mile, but I wouldn't be sticking to the coffeehouse facts. Actually be lectured the warden on how to run a prison, complained because the cook hadn't rubbed his last steak with garlic, and when his head and calves were being shaved he even advised the bar-ber on how to angle the razor. Finally Louie was led into the little room with the big chair and strapped in but he wasn't through yet. When the executioner threw the switch all that happened was a cracking flash from the fuse box. "Da fuse ain't big enough ta carry da load," advised Louie from under his helmet. "Ya need a bigga one." A few minutes later he was very dead. Know-It-A- Louie had finally come up with a suggestion that worked. When he outlined the job to Louie he said, "Remember, no guns. Da watchman izza ol' guy and I can handle him easy. I ain't lookin' fer no more trouble than I hafta." Louie, of course, had his. own ideas on proper stick-u- p proce-dure and lost no time in passing on his expert opinion to one of Nick's henchmen. "Bella pack rod jus" in case," he advised. . "Suppose a ol' guy spots ya an" starts blastin'?" The night of the job Louie parked the car down the block a bit and began thinking about how he'd spend his share of the loot, but within a matter of min-utes there were shots and Nick and the boys came running back. "Ya dummox," said Nick to the henchmen who had taken Louie's advice. "Ya put three slugs in da ol' man an' now we're in plennya trouble. Drive slow, Louie, in case any cops is aroun'." "Dere ain't no cops aroun' here dis time a night," said the know-it-al- l, passing through a red light. Suddenly a prowl car scooted around a corner and forced them to the curb, adn the cops had the bracelets on the thieves before Louie even had a chance to criticize last, 1 n e oau BUly, Kose weren't true, etc., and so on. LOUIE'S OMNISCIENCE was, if anything, even greater when it came to matters mechanical. Any time he saw a fellow tinkering with his car, it was only a matter of seconds before the know-it-all'- s head was right under the- - hood with the owner's, and if the guy took his advice he usually wound up with a face full of soot and a triple re-pair bill. Understandably, the loud-mout- h got to be known around the East Side as Know-It-A- Louie, and just as understandably his brassiness finally attracted the attention of a local hoodlum known as Nick the Carp who, at the time, was planning to burgle a wholesale furrier and needed a nervy kid to drive the get-away car. THOSE POINTS AGAIN Army Reveals Point System for Reservist Veterans of World War II are not likely to forget the point sys-tem by which armed forces were demobilized when the conflict came to an end. Now a point system is again in the. news. The army announces a new sys-tem to determine which enlisted ' reservists among those on active duty would be sent overseas. The system would be used also to de termine the order in which addi-tional enlisted reservists were or-dered to active duty. At the same time the army an-nounced that no further manda-tory calls to duty would be issued to enlisted men of its reserve corps, except for a limited number ol specialists in intelligence and med-ical corps. Reserve officers wili still be called. |
