The Lifetime Homes Company, who now are reserving their homes for "veterans only," assured that arrangements can be made so that papers will be ready for the Christmas tree December 25.

The three-bedroom homes will be open for inspection every day until Christmas, according to a company spokesman. RUBBER PLANTERS PROTEST KUALA LUMPAR (JP)—Many rubber planters in Malaya say they'll sell out and leave the country if the federal government carries through a proposed boost in income taxes. That is the report of the magazine "The Planter." Referring to a falling off of rubber sales to the United States, the publication said: "America has reopened many of her synthetic plants and, even were the Korean war finished tomorrow, she is unlikely to close them for a long time."

Los Angeles Ebbert, II, who lost six of his nearest kinfolk in a fire five weeks ago, says all he wants for Christmas is "a train." Now he tells folks who visit him in his room at Mercy hospital, where he is recovering from serious burns: "I never knew I had so many friends." Since word of Tommy's plight became public mail pours into his hospital room by the sackful. Packages with "do not open until Christmas" seals come from points as far west as Missouri and Minnesota, as far south as Florida. Two shelves in his hospital cupboard are jammed with packages from everywhere. He won't know what's in them until Christmas Day. He has his train already. It's a fine electric model with lots of track, the gift of a train-maker. Also he has scores of letters from over all the eastern United States containing about $100 "to help you buy that train." And he has more than $500 from people in the immediate Altoona area. Tommy and his father, William, 36, were the only survivors of a fire that destroyed their home at Duncansville and killed his mother, grandmother, brother and three sisters. Tommy doesn't know the others are dead. His father has decided not to tell him until after Christmas. Both Tommy and his father are recovering slowly from serious burns. The outlook for Tommy's Christmas was pretty bleak until a few days ago. Then the father told a newspaper reporter he was worried Santa Claus might not visit Tommy this year. "The only thing he's asked for is a train," said Ebbert, hopelessly. "I don't know how I'm going to get it for him." That story touched off a nationwide response. "I know how you feel," wrote British Asian Official Issues Warning to Reds SINGAPORE (AP)—Britain's official in southeast Asia, dealing notably from the gentle tones of previous official British universities on Chinese communities warned Peiping's reds last week that the free world "refuses dictated to by communists anywhere." Commissioner General Malcolm MacDonald intimated in a address that his government's silence in the Far East may be reaching an end and declared: “If the Chinese communist hostile to the western world pose Asian powers who strive eastern and western co-operation and defy the United Nations, we could only adapt our attitude accordingly.” Britain has maintained a fairly attitude toward red China government, which she recognizes. At stake are huge British investments inside China and her center colony of Hong Kong on the China coast. MacDonald's address was directed at Malayan Chinese, include a number of commuters who are damned.

That's where Louis Hoskins lives. A lot of Anaheimers will never forget the winter wonderland created in that grove nearly 15 years ago when the overhead sprinkler system was turned on in order to keep the frost from damaging the fruit. Instead of keeping the temperature down, the water froze, and the next day countless glittering icicles covered the trees. It was a scene of breath-taking beauty. People came from all over the county and swarmed through the grove until the warm sun melted the icicles. It looks like houses will replace the trees as Anaheim makes another step forward.
