• Messy Christmas
j OXFORD, England, OR — The
- hounds of the South Oxfordshire
I Hunt cornered and killed their
fox Tuesday on Mrs. Evelyn Lind
ley’s new living room carpet, right
in front of the Christmas tree la
den with presents.
Mrs. Lindley was out for some
last-minute shopping No one was
at home.
The hunt was in full cry, and
the fox was cornered. With no
place to go. it broke through a
window into the Lindley parlor.
Seven hounds came tearing in foe
j hind it.
i Mrs. Lindley came home to find
the living room a mess.
“There was mud and blood all
over the lounge — newly decor
ated in lavender and gray,” she
said.
“Some of the young men and
women of the hunt were already
busy with scrubbing brushes and
buckets of water.. They had our
window repaired within two hours
and have told me to put in a bill
' for cleaning our new red carpet
and covers.”
Christmas seals were conceived
in 1904 toy a Danish postal clerk,
j Einar Hoboell, to raise money for
i a tubercular children’s hospital,
i The custom of selling seals to raise
i money for anti-TB measures is
| now world-wide.
ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
It was a cold, clear, dark night
on the Jordan hillside while the
i shepherds were resting from their
j long night’s watch. One shepherd
■ perhaps was standing on guard to
protect the flock from the hungry
i wolves that were roving the
j rugged hills.
Often the shepherds looked
skyward and watched the stars
moving silently by, and they could
tell time by their position in the
sky: The shepherds were familiar
with the wandering celestial bo
dies called planets. They, too,
knew the appearance of Mars, the
reddish planet, and Jupiter, the
giant of all planets.
So, today, it is mankind’s privi
lege to look skyward at the very
objects that the shepherds and
the wise men were familiar with.
Mountains, hills, plains and val
leys have come and gone during
the-lifetime of these planets. We
are sharing with the sages of old
when we study the starry heavens
above us.
Our evening star in the east is
the reddish planet of Mars, while
the morning star in the same di
rection is Jupiter.

Obsolete B-36’s
To Be Junked
TUCSON, Ariz., UPl — All but
a few of the only American air
planes wjiich could drop hydro
gen bombs on the Soviet Union
and return home without refuel
ing are being junked.
The mighty B-36’s are obsolete
The 10-engine bombers are no
match for supersonic missiles.
A few of the big planes will be
kept in service at Carswell Air
Force Base in Texas. The rest of
them are being disassembled at
Davis-Monthan AFB in Arizona,
where they’ll toe scrapped for
salvage.
The Air Force built more than
300 of the B36’s at a cost of three
million dollars each. It won’t say
exactly how many are to be
junked, or how much money the
government hopes to reclaim from
the planes.
The B36 once was. the most
It can carry 84,000 pounds of load

and fly nonstop in 28 hours from
Maine to Japan.
