borly visit by a 17-year-old Grayson

as a commercial fisherman in the
marriage license application, and

Eighteen passengers and crew

Trapper Saved by Helicopter;
Animals Ate All His Food
INVITATION TO LIVE THIS WINTER . . . New winter accident facts,
based on research by National Safety council, reveal alarming in-
crease of skidding and poor visibility crashes during snowy, icy
weather. Authorities urge equalized brakes, using tire chains, wind-
shield wipers, defrosters, good lights and lower speeds to minimize the
added seasonal hazards of inadequate stop-and-go traction on snow or
icc and in reduced visibility.
WASHINGTON. - An Alaskan
trapper, who himself became
trapped when wild animals ate up
his food, was rescued by helicopter
in the army air forces’ first rescue
mission above the Arctic circle.
A.A.F. said Lt. Charles O. Weir of
Bloomington, Ind., picked up the
stranded trapper after an 185-mile
solo helicopter flight from Ladd
Field, Fairbanks, northwest to a re-
mote spot near Betties, Alaska.
The trapper, George Plucinski,
had been flown into the interior by a
civilian seaplane.
The civilian pilot, according to a
prearranged plan, dropped Plucin-
ski’s food 20 miles to the north.
When’Plucinski arrived at the spot,
he found foraging animals had
eaten the food.
Watchman, 65, Wins Fight
With Thugs, Saves $1,000
DETROIT, MICH.—Thomas Rob-
inson, 65, night watchman of the
Ambassador branch of the Cana-
dian Legion, won a battle with two
young thugs, saving $1,000.
One youth threatened him with a
butcher knife, Robinson told Wind-
sor police. but he knocked him
down.
The other attacker struck him
from behind with a beer bottle,
knocking him to the floor.
Robinson shouted and the pair
fled, kicking down a side door to
escape.
After first-aid treatment, Robin-
son returned to his job of protecting
$1,000 in the cash register and safe.
No Snow, but Farmers
Find Use for Snowplows
NEW YORK.—A shipment of 100
snowplows to farm implement deal-
ers in South Africa caused perplex-
ity among port officials here until
an explanation was forthcoming.
There was no blizzard on the
African desert, said F. L. Hopkin-
son, vice president of Frazer Farm
Equipment company. The plows
would be attached to rototiller farm
implements and used to stack up
wheat and rice during the harvest
season in the Union of South Africa.
Native laborers, he added, re-
garded the snowplow as a revolu-
tionary labor-saver for the farm.
THE LONG ROAD BACK . . . Admiration and encouragement help
Robert Laser, 9, of Somerville, Mass., take his first steps toward learn-
ing to walk again in the infantile paralysis center at the children’s hos-
pital in Boston, the nation's only general hospital for children. With the
youngster at the polio center pool is Cornelia Otis Skinner, actress and
national chairman of the women’s division of the 1948 March of Dimes.

facing women shoppers every
Christmas is: What shall I get for
him? The perfect solution for ev-
j cry male is quite a problem—but
: so far this seems like a perfect

| give him a carton of cigarettes.
| And if you wisely choose Camels
j —he’ll be twice as grateful—for
that’s probably his own brand. All
over America—more people are
smoking Camels than ever before!
Now, if his highness prefers a pipe
; —give him Prince Albert Smoking
i Tobacco—the National Joy Smoke.

Silent
More than a hundred years ago,
Father Josef Mohr, pastor of the
little Church of Arnsdorf in Austria,
was returning home late the night
before Christmas Eve. He loitered
for a moment on a hill overlooking
his home village.
It was a beautiful starlit night,
and he was Impressed with the ex-
quisite stillness that covered the
scene below him. His peaceful re-
flections brought to mind the silent
holy night when Christ was born in
Bethlehem. Inspired, he wrote "Si-
lent Night—Holy Night.” Impressed
with the beauty of the poem, his
friend, Franz Gruber, put it to
music and on Christmas Eve, while
Franz played, Father Mohr sar.g
"Silent Night” to h'is congregation.
From that night on, the beautiful
strains of "Silent Night” have filled
the air throughout the world at
Christmastide.
