BIRMINGHAM TURKEY GOES
ON SPREE IN CHICAGO

Chicago, Dec. 20 (ANP)-Last
week Beatrice Reynolds received a
live Tom Turkey from relatives in
Birmingham accompanied with a
"Do Not Open Until Christmas"
sticker. Living in an apartment,
Miss Reynolds put the piece de re-
sistance of a Christmas dinner out
on her back porch to stay until
the big day.
Thoroughly enjoying its new
found freedom, Sir Turkey decided
to go for a little spree, flying first
from his coop to the gable of the
house next door. From then on ii
was gable to gable until at last
he perched in a tree and haughtily
scoffed at all.
In despair, Miss Reynolds called
the police who had to telephone
their station for more shells before
they finally hit the lively turkey,
causing him to fall "plunk" on the
sidewalk.

construction of an infantile para
lysis center where Negro physi-

duct the activities in 80 Nebraska
counties in January to raise money

milton of T~uskegee," DIR. Lennox
said. with the establishment of
the center u physicians and sur
geons will receive valuable train
ing that will help them to more
capably battle this dread disease.
All Negroes should feel grateful
for the grant from the national
foundation and should do every
thing possible for the success of
the anti-infantile paralysis cam
paign this year. Any activity that
will alleviate human suffering and
better mankind, should be 0

parties that are raising money for
this purpose are doing a great
good"
According to Chairman Giles
pie, records show that the disease
was four times as virulent in
1889 as in 1888 and the local
chapters will be required to carry

fantile paralysis is to be controll-
ed. Half the money raised in the
campaign remains in the county
in which it originates for use in
fighting local epidemics and to
aid those who have been stricken.

TRIBUTE TO JOE LOUIS

A high tribute has geen gener-
ously paid to Joe Louis in an edi-
torial of the London Evening Stan
dard. 1t reads thus: Blockade is
still a decisive weapon of war.
Hitler despises it in much the same
way as Tony Galento boasted he
wasn't losing any sleep about Joe
Louis's right hook until it finally
put him to rest. And Tony, too, had
a secret punch of his own"
A few days later, a section from
a column in the Evening Standard
had the following: "The chief pro-
lection of the place is those inno-
cent looking slopes of grass cover-
ing a depth of earth which could
absorb endless artillery fire, just
as a man could protect himself a
gainst the hardest punches of Joe
Louis, by covering himself with
pillows"

Guides press room about 10:4b Pm.
Friday night, Dec. 22nd and quick
ly spread to the upstairs apartment
of C. C. Galloway, Mgr, causing
considerable damage to shop mach
inery and destroying practically all

his overcoat and shoes but was
driven back by the flames. Damage

since 1927 will continue on sche-
dule. The management wishes to
thank our kind friends who are
helping and those who have offer
