Grandfather's Souvenir
Found by War Prisoner

ST. GALLEN, SWITZERLAND
st. Gallen newspapers claim to have
unearthed the prize coincidence of
the war.
They report that a French Alsa-
tian sergeant named Francois Hell
degger, interned in a Swiss camp
when he crossed the frontier one
jump ahead of the German advance
last July, was transferred to a new
prison camp in st. Gallen canton re-
Gently.
While walking in the forest near
his camp he found warped old oak
bearing the name, carved almost 70
years ago, Francois Heidegger,
1871" 1t was cut by his grand
father, who fled into Switzerland one
jump ahead of the Prussians in the
Franco-Prussian war and was in
termed in the same village.

Ferdinand's Double
Is In New York Zoo

livery once in a while it is a
IL relief to take a vacation in hc-
tion-to get away from the realism
of Ernest Hemingway, the cyniSm
of Thomas Wolfe, the adventuring
of Kenneth Roberts, and the pom
dering of Lin Yutang, and read in
stead about animals.
In the May issue of Good House.
keeping magazine, Raymond L.
Ditmars, Curator of New York's
Geological Society, brings to mind
some famous animal favorites in
fiction. At the top of his list Mr..
Ditmars puts Lad, the collie of the
Albert Payson Terhune series.
"Lad," he says, ''is my ideal dog.
Times have changed since that story
was written, but as long as the
human race endures, there will al
ways be stories of the heroism and
devotion of mans most faithful
animal friend
Black Beauty, by Anna Sewen is
Ditmars' favorite horse story. With
modern roads alive with autos and
too f1inty-hard for equine feet, it is
refreshing he believes to pick up
the book and read about a horse.
Other favorites of Mr.. Ditmars' are
Riki-tikki-tavi, of Kipling's The
Jungle Book, and Jupiter, the orang-
utang in Jules Verne's The Myster-
io4is Island.
Mr.. Ditmars has a special ad-
miration for Munro Leafs Ferdi-
nand the Bull, who would rather
roam field of daisies than get into
trouble. He says that Ferdinand
has a counterpart in the New York
Zooligcal Park, and he's called Papa
Yak. Although he weighs almost a
ton and can snort and stick up his
tail, he will spend ten minutes try
ing to paw a peanut inside the
fence. "A child" says Mr.. Ditmars,
"could lead him around by the ear"

MOWER TELEPHONE RATES
$6l,7O0 Saving to State Users on
Long Distance Calls

Delaware subscribers of the Dia-
mond S(ate Telephone Company
will savel SCI, ZOO annually from the
rate fednctions being started July
10, Donald M. Huber, district man.
ager of the company, said Monday.
The new tariffs affect principally
certain glasses of long distance
calls. In addition, minor reduc-
tions we're made effective yester-
day in certain local service charges,
principally those of a homecoming
nature for moving, installing or re-
connecting telephones. Rates for
the initial three-minute connection
on most calls between points from
IA to 1880 miles apart will be re-
duced from sc to Csc, depending
upon the distance. Also, overtime
charges on all person-to-person
calls will be reduced to the same
overtime rates that apply to sta
tin-to-station calls of correspond
ing distances. Mr.. Huber pointed
out that the bulk of the savings, or
nearly S48,000, will result from the
reductions applicable to calls to
points beyond the state line. These
interstate reductions were announc-
ed earlier this month by the Amer
ican Telephone and Telegraph
Company

Another Birthday

This issue of The Smyrna
Times marks the eighty sew
enth consecutive year that
this newspaper has been pub
lished. Usually an S7th birth
day suggests senility and a
feeble air of not being here
much longer. The Smyrna
Times, however, at 81, is just
in its prime, and will have as
many more birthdays as the
years it continues to be liked
by it's readers.
Many things have changed
since the birth of the Times.
In a great many ways, the
paper itself has changed. But
the fundamental policies set
forth at the beginning have
been carried on by three gen.
erations in the same family.
Those policies of presenting
the news, Of trying with sin
cerity to encourage all good
within the town, and discour-
age all bad, of supporting civic
movements which will benefit
the town and civic groups who
have a purpose in existing, of
upholding truth and fairness,
and of trying to present both
sides of any issue. Those are
a few of the policies, set down
in 1854 and still in use today.
Those are the policies that are
ageless.
The Times has always en-
deavored to be as much like a
letter from home as possible,
both for out-of-town readers
and Smyrna subscribers. The
Times is always open to sug-
gestion and eager to please.
Without the support of the
readers, for which we are
grateful, the Times could not
exist.
