Although Lucas Charbeneau,
Charley Diehl and Ernest ySier-
ems conceived the Goodfellow
idea TO aid the cify's needy IA
1925, it was not until 1923 that
the Old Newsboys-G oodfellow
fund incorporated on its present
basis.
1t was men like Charbeneau,
Diehl and Sierens that set the
state for organization of the Old
Newsboys Goodfellow associa-
ton in 1923 with Charbeneau
serving as first president.
Since 1928, the Old Newsboys
have fought recession and de-
preston alike in annually aid
ing hundreds of underprivileged
children. During many of those
recession and depression years,
only credit extended by sympa-
thetic Mount Clemens mer-
chants kept the Goodfellow idea
alive, but this year the associa-
ton carried over q sizeable bal
ance from the 1910 campaign.
Down through the years prom
inent business men have rubbed
shoulders with their less distiE-
guished fellow citizens in the
annual drive for funds. In the
Goodfellow organization social,
religious and business barriers
melt before q common cause.
The Old Newsboys raised ap-
Fortunately $1,000 in 1928, Of
which the Volunteer Firemen,
always active in charitable en-
deavors, contributed 500. The
annual newspaper sale brought
$500, the Knights of Pythia5,
through their treasurer, the late
A. A. Devantier, contributed $40
and the police collected size

Anything Cam
Get a Meeze
Out of Him
BY w. ROBERT CRUDE

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 19-(R
-Seven-year-old Leo Sentiger
may have a fresh-cut Christmas
tree but he'll have to look at it
through a window.
For the dark eyed lad is aller-
gic to evergreens. Their aroma
sends him into fits of gasping
due to q rare malady from which
he has suffered since infancy.
Leo, a healthy-looking chap Of
average weight and height for
his age, has been taking serum
injections for nearly three years
TO overcome q score of allergies.
Among other things, he's aller-
gic to dogs, rabbits, ice cream
and chocolate candy. Doctors
believe most of the allergies will
be dispelled in time. His condi-
ton is best described rs q per-
petual case of hay fever.
When the Christmas tree was
trimmed the other day at the
convalescent home Of Children's
Hospital, where Leo is q patient,
he had to stand outside and look
through the window pane. He'll
be at the hospital over Christ
mas. So his mother plans to
bring him an artificial tree.
Whiieshe isYa bit down.heart-
|ed At having to spend Christmaa
away from home. Leo admits
that he has felt much better
since he entered the GONZALES
cent home in the country two
weeks ago.
I'm not as allergic to as many
things out here as l was in the
city," Leo said. Being around
dogs I used to wheeze a lot, but
l don't mind them so much any
more"
Leo's condition wouldn't per-
nit physical exertion, so he
found his outlet in music, and
has been taking piano lessons
the past two years. He hopes
some day to be an orchestra
leader.
The lad has a sense of humor
with il all. He gets quite q kick
out of one of his allergies-cod

Flow Of Gas
10 Be Thinner
Than Before
oPA Seeks Plon
to Replace
Drastic Suspension

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19AR
The eastern seaboard's gaso-
line tap, ordered closed to an
emergency trickle, appeared
likely to be turned on again
Monday but with prospects that
the flow of motor fuel will be
thinner than the old rationing
volume.
The Office of Price Admins
tration which shut of gasoline
purchases at noon yesterday to
the average motorist in II
eastern states and the District
of Columbia, sought to work out
today what Price Administrator
Leon Henderson termed "a
thoroughly integrated plan" to
replace the drastic suspension.
And we hope" said Hender-
son last night, Ito be able to an
nounce it by Sunday and put it
into effect Monday morning"
ELIMINATE INEQUALITIES
OPA officials indicated the
new plan at least will eliminate
some of the inequities resulting
from the temporary order. But
in view of Petroleum Admins
trasor Harold L. Ickes announce
ment that gasoline distribution
in the east will be cut nearly 20
per cent during the rest of De-
cember and about Is per cent
next month, it was expected that
forthcoming rationing restric-
tions will be more severe than
before.
Meantime speculation on what
the new program will provide
ranged from reduction of unit
values of the "a" "B" and
&C" rations to elimination en-
tirely of the "A" coupons which
are worth three gallons apiece
in Is of the eastern states and
four in West Virginia. The value
of B" and &C. coupons, issued
for essential driving, is four
gallons.
OFFICIALS MUM
There was no official indica-
ton, however, what the new ra-
tioning regulations will be.
While all non-commercial We
hicles in the area continued

Mails Flooded With
Letters on Endless
Chain Another Fraud

The mails in all parts OF the
country are still being flooded
with letters relating to so-called
endless chain schemes soliciting
defense savings stamps.
The bulletin of July %. 1941.
contained a notice regarding the
legality of such schemes. Never
theless. patrons of the various
post Offices are depositing in the
mails matter relating to schemes
of this nature. They should be
warned that the sending of
such matter through the mails is
violation of the postal fraud
and lottery statutes. Notices
are served upon persons parti-
cipating in such schemes whose
names came to the attention of
the Post Office Department re-
quiring them to show cause why
fraud orders should not be issued
against them. Such orders for
bid the delivery of any mail to
the persons named therein.
In order that the attention Of
the public be called to the illegal
character of the scheme, it is
suggested that local newspapers
be requested to give publicity to
this notice.
