$50,000” from the estate of a
wealthy Philadelphia furniture
dealer who died in 1933.

Little Boy Wasn’t There
To Give His Mother
Tha Special Thing
EETROIT i.fi—Little, 6-year-old
Raymond Podczervlnski tossed
his school satchel on the kitchen
tsble and ran out to play with
some of his five brothers and sis
ters and neighborhood pals.
That was Thursday and, us
many a first-grader before him,
Raymond forgot to take some
thing “real important” from the
papers and books in the bag.
Yesterday Raymond’s mother,
Mrs. Bertha Podczervinski, found
that “real important” thing Ray
mond had been saving. It was a
sheet of drawing paper, decorated
with a crayoned flower and
crudely formed letters that said:
“My dear darling mother, God
made all mothers as good and as
kind as can be. But when God
chose mothers, God gave the
sweetest mother to me.”
Shortly after Raymond went
out to play there was a screech
of brakes in front of his home,
then a thud. A car had hit him.
He was dead on arrival at a hos
pital.
ASTRONOMY' NOTES
By OLAF HALVORSON
The origin of comets is still
shrouded in mystery. Probably
they have come from depths of
the sidereal universe and so are
entirely extra-solar in origin. Ar
riving from all points of space in
their journey from one star to
another, they wheel about the
sun.
Sometimes they speed away in
a vast ellipse, with the promise of
a future visit. Sometimes they
continue upon Interstellar jour
neys of such parabolic dimensions
—perhaps around other suns
that no return can ever be ex
pected.
Comets are probably but chips
in the workshop of the skies,
mere waste pieces of the material
that stars are made. Some sug
gest that comets have originated
in vaporous materials ejected by
our own sun or the larger planets
of our system.
Every return of a comet ap
pears to have a disintegrating ef
fect upon a comet.

Sunday Fishermen
Find Lake Disappeared,
Catch Fish By Hand
PITTSBURGH, When fish
ermen showed up at North Park
Lake yesterday they found the
lake had disappeared.
George McDonough, director of
Allegheny County parks, ex
plained to newsmen what hap
pened.
High water flooded a new boat
dock the county was building so a
drainage gate valve was opened
on Saturday to drain off some of
the water. The valve wouldn't
close.
Workmen finally got the gate
closed Sunday afternoon. By that
time most of the water in the
narrow, five-mile-long lake had
gone out thru the drainage gate
into Pine Creek, carrying thou
sands of fish with it.
A few shallow puddles of water
remained in the lake bed. Hun
dreds of fish foundered in the
water end mud.
The fishermen and other per
sons were allowed to pull fish out
with their hands for a white. But
authorities stopped them later be
cause of the danger of sinking
into deep muddy spots.
