Burned Youngster Appeals for Yule Messages from Other Children SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16, UP — Myrla Ann Fox, brave 10-year-old girl hospitalized nearly a year with burns almost covering her body, hopes that other children will help her stay off the added pangs of loneliness during the holiday season. Myrla has been in the children's section of St. Francis memorial hospital since last February. She has no chance of getting home to spend Christmas with her family, including two sisters and three younger brothers, in Crescent City. So she asks that other children send her Christmas cards—"just any kind"—to help the days go past. More than 65 per cent of Myrla's body was burned when a gasoline can exploded last January. She was brought to St. Francis hospital last Feb. 7. Since then she has had 33 blood transfusions. 21 skingrafting operations and still must be given skin-building proteins through a nasal tube. A special nylon covered rack is her bed and the covers are propped up on a frame since ordinary fabrics must not touch her. Because the expensive medical care is beyond the means of her mill-worker father, Bert Fox, the state bureau of crippled children's services has provided the care needed. "I hope other children will send Christmas cards," one of Myrla's nurses said, "this can be a lonely time of year in a hospital." The address in Myrla Fox, St. Francis-Memorial hospital, Bush and Hyde sts., San Francisco, 9. Suit Filed in Fernstream Wreck SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16 UP — A San Francisco export firm today charged the officers of the freighter Hawaiian Rancher with negligence in a suit to cover cargo lost when the Norwegian motorship Fernstream sank Thursday after a collision with the Hawaiian Rancher. Getz and Brothers Company's Federal Court suit asked $7000 from the Matson Navigation Company, owners of the Hawaiian Rancher, to cover a small shipment of general merchandise bound for Manila aboard the Fernstream. The ship's whole cargo was valued at 3 million dollars. The brief said the Hawaiian Rancher was steaming too fast in the fog-shrouded waters of San Francisco Bay, she was off course, and the officers failed to post a proper lookout.

Kuch America's Dollar Value Depends on Stalin's Life, Babson Says YORK, N.Y.—Americans want to keep the present 60-dollar from shrinking to 25 would pray for a long life of Stalin, thinks business economist Roger Babson. There will be no noticeable easing of the cost of living during 1953, predicts Babson in the January issue of the Journal of Living magazine. However, if World War III breaks out on a major scale, the dollar will go down. "I am convinced that Stalin does not want war," writes Babson. "If he had wanted it, he could have had it. He passed up many chances in Berlin, in the Middle East and Asia, where he might have provoked our leaders into war. He didn't do it. He has lost his best opportunities, for we are now tooled up to turn out enormous quantities of war materiel." "I do not predict what course a successor might take. Therefore, I regularly pray that Josef Stalin may be long lived. I suggest you join me in this prayer." Babson's predictions for 1953 include high total taxes throughout the year, and lower profits for many companies. On the brighter side, we can look forward to a leveling off of the price index. Cuts in dividends will not be drastic. Interest and pension payments should remain secure. All told, concludes Babson in his Journal of Living article, we can breathe just a little bit easier in 1963. Although the coming year promises little relief from high prices and high taxes, at least we can look forward to a year in which the cost of living should stand still. And this in itself will be a pleasant change. Dope—Using (Montclair from Page One) Mrs. Mackeown threatened to call the police. Walk said Crosby then described the stabbing. The detective said the youth then changed his version somewhat. Crosby, Walk said, related how he had smoked a marijuana cigarette in the morning, and that Mrs. Mackeown asked him if he were ill. "First she said she was going to call a doctor. Then she threatened to notify the police," Walk quoted Crosby. The 6-foot, 160-pound youth was arrested after neighbors had given police a description of a former seen on the McKinney. State Considers Feasibility of Educational TV SACRAMENTO (CNS) — A score of conferences on the merits of state television were under way here today as educators from all sections of California wound up the state-wide conference called by Gov. Earl Warren on the subject. The issue is whether the state should take advantage of eight television channels reserved by the federal communications commission for educational television; which would be operated by the state, or by school districts. Paul A. Walker, chairman of the commission attended the conference and warned the educators not to delay plans for ownership, construction and operation of the stations in view of the fact that competition for commercial channels is keen. "I cannot predict," he said, "what considerations would be persuasive with the commission after June 2 in the matter of continuing reservations on channels which commercial interests may seek to have made available for commercial use." Gov. Earl Warren welcomed the approximately 2500 delegates to the conference, composed for the most part of California educators, to the city yesterday, stating basic principles are that the programs from the proposed stations should be controlled by educators for educational purposes alone. He said there should be no competition with commercial stations. Seh. Knowland Predicts Changes Due in Presidential Elections SACRAMENTO (CNS) — Sen. William F. Knowland predicted some changes would be made in the nation's presidential electoral system when he addressed the California electoral college just before it cast ballots for president and vice president. Calling the meeting of Republican leaders who made up this year's state electoral college "an historical occasion," Knowland said he believed congress before the next presidential election would alter the system, possibly to one in which electoral votes of each state would cast in proportion to the number of Americans to miss partisanship and give support to the hand of Geo Dwight D. Eisenhower as president of the United States," said ren, a man whose political views under a national Republican ministation has not been clear. Knowland who campaigned with Eisenhower through a 30 states, stated the presiding elector's victory was "not a political victory." Electricity is a bigger bargain now than ever. Edison rates for domestic electric service—though lowered many times—haven't been increased since 1921. That record is hard to keep, when the price of nearly everything else has gone up and up for years. Crosby, Walk said, related how he had smoked a marijuana cigarette in the morning and that Mrs. Mackeown asked him if he were ill. "First she said she was going to call a doctor. Then she threatened to notify the police," Walk quoted Crosby. The 6-foot, 160-pound youth was arrested after neighbors had given police a description of a teen-ager seen on the Mackeown porch Saturday. Officers their list of known juvenile delinquents, then took Crosby into custody. Calling the meeting of Republican leaders who made up this year's state electoral college "an historical occasion," Knowland said he believed congress before the next presidential election would alter the system, possibly to one in which electoral votes of each state would be cast in proportion to the state's popular vote. He also predicted the next electoral college would include 43 states, with Hawaii as the 49th state. Gov. Earl Warren, also addressing the college, declared that, after the 24 years since Herbert Hoover's election, great responsibility had been placed with the Republican party. Fortunately we have elected a great man," he said. ANAHEIM GAZETTE, INC. Theodore B. Kuchel, President Max Besler, Vice-President Mrs. Henry Kuchel, Secretary-Treasurer H. C.

Of this total, education costs for the public school system totaled $266,267,170; shared revenues of gasoline and motor vehicle fees, $155,865,316 and social welfare, $148,897,575.

Troop 47 Girl Scouts make Dolls For TB Patients Inmates of one Orange county hospital TB ward are going to receive some beautiful gifts from the Girl Scouts of St. Boniface school's troop 47. The girls are working hard every afternoon, making dresses for small dolls. When they're all done, they'll be presented to the patients at a party to be given next Friday. Under the direction of Mrs. J. F. Dutzi and Mrs. Barney Jordan, the girls are making the doll clothes according to instructions of Mrs. Frank Salazar. After the crinoline underskiirts have been fastened to the doll, circles of organdy are cut out with pinking shears and fastened together. When enough have been tied together to complete the skirt they are fastened to similar pieces which make up the bodice. In all, the Girl Scouts will make up about 20 of the dolls. Working on the production line are Olga Salazar, Lois Schweitzer, Darlene Zenda, Jacqueline Birchall, Mary Cain, Dianne DeConick, Linda Cone, Janice Barshay, Nancy Dutzi, Rita Flynn, Kathleen Gillispie, Irene Gonzales, Barbara Jordan, Barbara May, Karen Mandeville, Sandra McLaughlin, Patricia Nelson and Sally Rees.
