International Children's Emergency Fund, UNICEF, today received a check for $3979 from the estate of a California spinster after four years of legal controversy. UNICEF is supported entirely by voluntary contributions. It previously had received funds by will, but this is the first time it had gone to court to claim a bequest. The money represents the entire state of the late Minnie Strohbehn of Los Angeles, awarded to UNICEF by the California State Board of Education. U.N. attorneys contended the money should go to UNICEF on the grounds it was the organization most similar in purpose and design to the commission described by Miss Strohbehn.

UNICEF is supported entirely by voluntary contributions. It previously had received funds by will, but this is the first time it had gone to court to claim a bequest. The money represents the entire state of the late Minnie Strohbehn of Los Angeles, awarded to UNICEF by the California Superior court. Miss Strohbehn, who died in 1938, stated in her will that her estate should go to the "National Commission for Children in Wartime" of the U.N. Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, UNRRA: The designated commission Conclaves Bring Millions in Trade To Los Angeles More than $17,000,000 worth of "extra" trade will have been brought to Los Angeles this year because of spending by 132,825 delegates having attended 207 conventions here, the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce reported today. "This dollar volume," said Chairman Allerton H. Jeffries of the Chamber's convention and visitors bureau, "certainly indicates that conventions are big business for the entire community. "Service industries—one of the principal benefactors of convention spending—have come to realize that group business brought by conclaves means more profit than returns from a comparable number of transients." "For example: A given hotel with an 89 per cent occupancy throughout the year of which 25 per cent consists of convention business will have made a greater profit than a comparative hotel which has a straight 89 per cent occupancy of transients," Jeffries said. At the end of November, 204 meetings had been held, with another three scheduled for the remainder of the year. During last month, 13 future meetings were booked. Convention activity in the next few years is expected to continue heavy, Jeffries reported. At the end of November, 146 conclaves had been scheduled for next year. Toasters Host Irish Visitor, Plan Big Party Toastmasers club of Anaheim entertained a visitor from Ireland and planned their annual Christmas party with the ladies Monday night. All this and their speaking program took place at the regular meeting from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The guest, Bill Bittles, a former native of Ireland is now a resident of Anaheim. The Christmas party is to be held at Lum's restaurant, across from La Palma park, next Monday evening, Dec. 15, and will be ladies' night with other guests invited. Lewis Boys, vice president of the club presided at last night's meeting and Toastmaster Paul Von Klieben introduced the speakers on the program, who were: Chauncey Stillson, "Eliminating Pet Peeves;" Walter Knott, "Discovery of a New Variety;" and Hal Johnson, "Peace on Earth." Toastmaster Knott was awarded the weekly cup for the best speech of the evening. Evaluators were Lyle Wallace, Hank Allen and Bob Allen. The invocation to open the meeting was by Ed Wright, and James Lepper conducted the usual table topic discussion, with the crucial question of "Airplanes and Tunisia." Record Number of Puppies Will be Christmas Gifts The number of puppies that will be given as gifts this Christmas will likely set an all-time record, it is predicted by Harry Miller, director of the Gaines Dog Research Center, New York, a leading source of dog information. Of the estimated 500,000 homes that will acquire a puppy this Yuletide, a substantial number will be right in this area, he states. "Wonder Metal" May be Used in F-89 Construction The possibilities of fabricating Scorpion F-89D rocket firing wing tip pods from titanium—the new "wonder metal"—are being explored by Northrop Aircraft, Inc., under a special engineering design contract awarded by the U.S. Air Force. Terms of the contract call for the redesign of a F-89D tip pod to determine fabrication techniques and obtain engineering design data necessary for use of titanium. Laboratory research now being performed in the tip pod redesign is furnishing considerable basic matallurgical, physical and structural data on commercial pure titanium and some of the alloys now available. The F-89D tip pod was chosen for this project because its design and construction involve the greatest variety of forming, machining, welding and other airframe fabrication techniques of any composite unit of comparable size. Current Scorpion production models carry large quantities of lethal 2.75" folding fin air-to-air rockets in wing tip pods, fabricated from conventional aircraft metals, making the F-89D America's most heavily armed fighter type aircraft. The number of puppies that will be given as gifts this Christmas will likely set an all-time record, it is predicted by Harry Miller, director of the Gaines Dog Research Center, New York, a leading source of dog information. Of the estimated 500,000 homes that will acquire a puppy this Yuletide, a substantial number will be right in this area, he states. Mr. Miller has compiled a list of "pitfalls to be avoided" in adding a puppy to the family circle this Christmas. There is a dog for every purpose, one to suite the age and temperament of any owner, and with a little careful planning each can be sure of getting exactly what is needed or wanted, he suggests. 1. If undecided as to breed, a visit to a dog show, where a variety of breeds are on exhibit, should prove helpful. If no dog show is being held in the vicinity, visits to local kennels of different breeds will help make up your mind. 2. Don't get a puppy too young—not under 10 or 12 weeks. The younger the puppy the more care it requires. 3. If you are not sure the puppy is healthy, insist on a veterinary statement before purchase. 4. If you want to be sure the pup is purebred, request a registration certificate, which should also show a transfer to you as the new owner. 5. Before taking the pup home, be sure to select a spot in the house he will be able to call his own. Place his bed there—an ordinary box filled with shredded paper will do—and put near it a toy or rubber ball or bone to help him cut his teeth on and divert his attention from mischievous deeds. 6. Don't stuff him and don't handle him unnecessarily when you get him home, else you may end up with a sick or dead pup. If you are really wise, you will arrange to have him delivered a few days before or after the Christmas day excitement. Informer Provides Police with New Lead in Brutal Slaying of Grocer SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9. (AP) Police said today an informant has provided them with a new crime file the brutal slaying of a Plumas county grocer and three children near Chester last October. Captain of Inspectors James L. English said the information came from a trusted informer who told of being asked by two men last May to take part in the robbery "of a man named Young."
