Freedom from excitement was re-
sponsible for the rescue of Mr.. Paul
Marshall of Ewell, when he was dash

Saturday morning.
Marshall, on his way to Crisfield,
had stopped to render aid to a dis
abled boat. In heavy seas, he was
thrown overheard. Wearing boots
and a heavy overcoat, he was unable
to keep afloat for any length of time.
Capt. Newell Bradshaw, also of
Ewell, effected his rescue, however,
by keeping cool head in spite of the
heavy wind, and rough seas. Having
to work quickly, Captain Bradshaw,

a fashion that when Marshall came to
the surface he was there to pull him
aboard.
In heavy sea, one of the dangers
encountered is the boat itself, which
splashes and rolls to the detriment of
men trying to rescue, as well as the
one being rescued.
However, Captain Bradshaw got his

PARKSLEY SCHOOL AUDI
TORIUM is CONDEMNED

Discovery of the fact that the sup
porting beams of the auditorium of
the Parksley high school building
were infested by termites which have
eaten away the beams to such an ex-
tent as to endanger occupants of the
hall, necessitated the suspension of
school and social activities which are
generally held in this part of the
school building.
The minstrel, sponsored by the
Ushers Union of the Methodist Church
which was to be held, was necessarily
postponed, but arrangements have
been made to hold the entertainment
in the Bloxom high school auditorium,
Thursday night, January %.
The floor appeared to be unsound
and upon inspection the condition was
discovered and notice given that that
part of the building would not be used.
Supt. H. A. Wise stated that it is
believed the damage is confined to

DEGENERATE ATTACK ON
TWO-YEAR OLD CHILD

Charged with criminal assault upon
the person of his two and a half year
old sister, Charles Townsend, ID, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Raymond Townsend
of lower Somerset county, was tried
before Judge Edward P. Wyatt, in
Crisfield and after being found guilty
was committed to st. Mary's Indus
trial School until he reached the age

The infant, recovering from a
threatened attack of pneumonia, was
left at the Townsend home in care
of her brother while Mrs. Townsend,
who is employed at the Crisfield MUIR
sery School, attended to her daily
duties at the school. Previous to her
illness the little girl has accompanied
her mother.
On the morning of the attack,
neighbors hearing the screams of the
child rushed to the Townsend home
to find the infant lying on the floor
with blood oozing from it's mouth and
nose.
The boy could not be found to ex-
plain what had happened to the child,
so a physician was summoned who, at
ter examination, stated that the child
was the victim of a cruel attack. Ply
icians remained with the child thru
out the day and well into the night.

"LONG COUNT is OUT FOR BRADDOCK-LOUIS
Chicago Body
MdkesRu|es
For Bout
BY CHESTER YOU'LL

CHICAGO, June 18.-An!
chance Of the Braddock.Louis
worlds heavyweight championship
fight here Tuesday night being
marred by a "long count" such as
occurred in the Tunney-Dempsey
mix ten years ago was diSpelled
today.
The Illinois boxing commission
has taken every precaution to
avert an incident similar to that
in Soldier Field in 1927 when,
with Tunney battered to the
canvas, Referee Dave Barry
stopped his count to push Demp-
sey to a neutral corner and then,
instead of picking up where he
had left off, started counting all
over again.
Yesterday the field referees
eligible to handle the fight Tues
day night in Comiskey Park was
trimmed to five men, who met
with the complete approval Of Joe
Gould and Julian Black, the rival
managers.
These men are Dave Miller, Phil
Collins, Frank McAdams, Joe NC
Namara and Tommy Thomas.
They were called into the COM
mission offices last night, and in
structed at length on the rules
which will govern the fight, par
ticularly that covering the knock
down count.
Farthest Neutral Corner
They were told If either Brad
dock or Louis is knocked down, the
fighter still on his feet must re-
tire at once to the tarthest neu-
trail corner. $50
The knockdown timekeeper will
start his count Immediately. and
the referee shall first see that the
opponent retires to the farthest
neutral corner and then pick up
the count from the timekeeper.
In the event that the boxer on
his feet fails to retire to neutral
corner, the count will be stopped
until he does. But when the count
is resumed, it will be picked up at
the point where it mad been in
terrupted. For example. if at the
count of four, the fighter still
standing refuses to move to the
corner, the count will be halted
but when it is picked up, the time
keeper and referee viii reStart at
five.
In addition, a huge electric clock
will be erected over the ring, which
shows the minutes of the round
and in the seconds in case of a
knockdown. It also supplies a
vibration for the exact second as
the knockdown timekeeper holds
his finger to a button while count
ing.
In the event one Of the fighters
is knocked out of the ring or on
the apron of the ring outside the
ropes, he will be permitted a 20
second count to get back into &C
ton.
The ring incidentally has been
shipped from New York and is
the same one in which Max
Schmeling knocked out Louis last
summer. It cost $1,000 to build
and will be pitched six feet off
the ball field turf.
No Foul Rule
Earlier in the week the COM
mission and the rival managers
came to an agreement on mo
foul" rule, making it impossible
for the fight to be lost or won
in that manner, and also they
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-06-18

agreed that the bout would not
be stopped unless one of the
chief seconds was convinced his
man could not continue.
If because of an injury, one Of
the principals is forced to quit,
the winner will be awarded q
technical knockout. The regular
commission rule gives the victor
only a decision in that case, but
the rule will be waved for this
one bout.
Braddock and Louis will weigh
in at noon Tuesday in the audi
forum Theater, and they have
been instructed to be at Comis-
key Park at 8 p. m. In the event
of threatening weather the bout
will be started any time between
that hour and 10 2. 49,. -.

am a happy little tree. I stand beside the front entrance of white cottage on a quiet street. Each Christmas time I bloom out in beautiful colored lights. and all who pass share my beauty and catch something of the joy of Christmas.
 But I was not always happy like this. Once I lived in a great forest, surrounded by trees so tall I could only catch glimpse of the blue sky above me, and I felt very small and lonely. I, too, wanted to be tall; to look out on the big world like the others and feel the sun shining through my branches. l would stretch out my limbs as far as I could, and send my roots deep CT into the earth, but my progress was so slow I grew discouraged. One day I saw man and a boy coming through the forest. The man carried somtehing over his shoulder and they seemed to be looking for something. Then the boy saw me and cried: Look, fath- CT, there is just the tree we want. Y" He ran over to me and fairly hugged me in his eagerneSS. The man looked me over. Fine" he said. But when he began digging with the thing he had carried on his shoulder I began to tremble. I felt my roots snap one by one and soon l lay a tumbled heap on the ground. Life seemed over for me.
 Next I was tied to funny look ing thing on wheels, that sputtered and growled when the man and boy climbed in and we started off down a twisty little road that wound through the forest, then out on a big shining highway until we came to a wide driveway that led through Sloping lawn to white cottage.
 Here I was united and put into a large earthen jar filled with sano , and carried into the house, and set in corner of big room be- side sunny window Oh, the joy of having the sun on my branches I began to feel less scared and tc look about me.
 Tn a big mirror opposite I could watch the man as he fastened me upright. Then he put a string oi Daddy, Mamma;" he shouted and
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-12-21

pointed to the window. There are two children out there. Bring them in, Daddy; give them some of our Christmas" And the little girl clapped her hands and cried: "Oh, do, Daddy, it's cold out therel"
 When they were brought ill look ing rather scared. but glad, I was so happy I almost shook my bau- bles off. Then Mother made music on big box with shining keys and everyone sang Christmas carols. Then Father told the old story Of the Shepherds and the Star that led to the Christ Child. Then a jolly man with a red coat and a pack on his back gave everyone presents, including the little smang- CTS. There were candies and nuts, plenty for all and such babble of happy voices. I felt the thrill of it myself and the big star glowed in sympathy.

chapter after chapter, he read on. It was the first book Joe had ever read. It filled him with new viS- ions and new ways of thinking. He read on till midnight and had been so impressed that he decided to read a chapter from the Bible before go- ing to bed. By mere accident the chapter was one on the birth at Bethlehem Its teaching overpow- cred him-he had found the more abundant life
 On Christmas morning when Jim Knox went out to the spring for a pail of water he noticed something like a card tackled on Joe Pathways door. He saw no smoke from the chimney. Taking in the water cautiously he approached Joe's ca lbin door, and read the note which lsaid:

 While Jim was thus dreaming, Joe Pathway sat in another log cabin but few yards down the stream. By change, Joes attention was called to a book on shelf. The school teacher had given it to his daughter who had died from the epidemic on the creek. The title appealed to him-"The Christmas Carol" He took the book and be- gan to read. Page after page and

I heard a door open and a rush of feet-a little boy and girl dashed into the room crying: Mamma, come quick, and see our Christmas tree" They clapped their hands and danced about me. Soon the mother came with a box filled with shining lovely things and my plain green dress was covered with spark ling jewels. I hardly dared look in the mirror for l remembered l was only a humble tree after all, and what I saw could not be me at all; but the great silver star on my topmost branch made me feel very happy. I seemed to draw courage from just looking at it.
 After time I was left to my self. I was glad, as I needed to rest up a bit and get used to my strange surroundings. It grew dark outside and snow was falling; but inside my star shone and quiet peace came over me.
 Then once more the doors opened and a merry group of people came in. This time there was Father and Grandfather and Grandmother, too; and Mother leading the little boy and girl. Everyone was saying how lovely I was; but I did not want them to look at me. I wanted them to see two little faces outside pressed against the window pane. The boy saw them first Look,

There was not to be any Christmas tree at the little church at the head of Smoke Creek that year; and of the several families who lived there. not more than half were ex- pecting Sanse Claus The dark days had left the dismal valley or hollow even more gloomy than it had been in better years, when the mines across the ridge in the next hollow gave some employment to the heads of the families of Smoke Creek.
 Jim Knox, who nved at the very head of the stream, was perhaps the most unhappy of all in the
