Unseasonal warmth and pros-
perous business conditions brought
to the United States one of the
merriest Christmas Days in his-
tory.
Millions of dollars worth of gifts
gifts were exchanged in quantities
which merchandising organiza-
tions reported to be near a record.
Charity groups, which found their
task of collecting funds easier
than in many years, gave food and
good cheer to thousands, but their
burden was lightened by the in-
crease in employment
There was a tragic side to the
day, however, with at least 265
persons meeting sudden death in
holiday accidents, mainly caused
by automobile crashes.
The death toll in the United
States was far worse than in em-
battled Mhdrid where airplane
bombs and artillery shells, smash-

In Bethlehem, British troops on
garrison duty to prevent rioting

Pope Pius, having broadcast a
Christmas Eve plea for peace to

Mason Hurley, 30 years old, a
resident of t. Jo, died in the
Gainesville Sanitarium Christmas
night, a few minutes after he had
been injured in an automobile
wreck, on Highway 5, three miles
west of the city. His right chest
was crushed and he received head
injuries.
Mrs. John Musser, who lives at
Lindsay, was slightly injured, but
several other persons in the Mos-
ser car escaped unhurt.
Acoordng to information secur-
ed by the Register, the Mosser
family was enroute to Lindsay, go-
ing in a westerly direction. Hurley,
apparently driving at rapid speed,
was coming toward Gainesville.
Just as the Mosser car approached
the Rauschuber home. on the north
side of the highway, an automobile
came out of the driveway onto the
road. The driver of the Mosser car
swerved slightly to avoid a col-
lision and Mr. Hurley’s machine
sideswiped it. His car apparently
turned over several times and he
was thrown from it. Hurley’s au-
tomobile was badly damaged but
the Mosser car was only slightly
dented, it is understood.
Be Buried Sunday
Funeral services for Mr. Hurley
will be held in St. Jo at the First
Methodist church at 30’ clock Su-

Roy Patton, officiating. Interment
in the St. Jo cemetery will be di-

Surviving are his widow and

For several months, Mr. Hurley
had been employed in the Ander-
