steam by throwing dishes at her

she got smart and started to
slowly poison him to death, then
you've got horror story
How did Ken Englund, the
horror story writer, get mixed
up with comedy? 1t goes back to
when he was Is .year-old high
school student in Chicago. He
entered the RKO studio story
contest and won $3.50 and a
screen credit for The Phantom
Of CrestWood."
GOT A REP
From then on he turned out
murder mysteries by the dozen
for slick and pulp magazines and
got himself quite reputation
as horror expert. But when
Hollywood was slow in buying
his subsequent chillers, he anus
ed himself by mailing in Jokes
TO vaudeville and radio coined
ians. Pretty soon he was making
more money from his Jokes. And
when you nave only a few dol
lars in the bank, you take the
best offer.
Englunds best offer came
from Comedian Phil Baker. He
wrote his jokes for three years.
Then Ken Murray hired him.
And Joe Penner hired him away
from Murray. And then Holly
wood hired him away from ra-
dio to write comedies.
Of course by this time THE
Phantom of Crestwood" and all
his other chillers had been for
gotten. Hollywood hired Eng
lund TO write comedies and you
can't easily talk Hollywood out
of what 1t buys.

Uncle Roy's Corner

Questions about trees and the ori.
gin of q name appear in . letter
from boy who lives In Hamilton,
Ontario. He wrotes:
Dear Uncle Ray:
You may remember that In l942
you had piece In the paper about
names. You may be puzzled about
me sending this In 1s43. 20 win
tell you.
while was getting paper for SAL
wage. looked up your part in an old
newspaper and 1t started to talk
about names. Gould you please tell
me how my name came to be? MY
whole name is Bruce Mcdonald
Stewart. said to my friend Trevor,
Maybe my ancestors had the art Of
cooking and making excellent stews'
Trevor asked me to ask you II
trees grew wild. think they do,
don't you? The big trees give out
seeds, the winds blow the seeds away,
the seeds fall to the ground and start
to grow. It sounds sort of wild.
II think your part In the paper Is
very interesting. read 1t every
day. Yours sincerely.
Bruce Stewart"
Maybe one of your ancestors was
an excellent cook, Bruce, but your
family name has nothing to do with
Stews! 1t arose from steward" q
person who held an office of i'm
portance in many households Of
olden England and Scotland.
The steward was what we might
call the manager" Of household.
Usually the house belonged to a no.
BILE or some other wealthy man. The
work of the steward was to hire
servants, to collect rents and to keep
a record of all expenses.
Your full name sounds very much
as though your ancestors came from
Scotland. A man named Bruce
ranks as one of the greatest of Scot
fish heroes. Your middle name.
Mcdonald" means son Of Donald.
and Stewart" Is the name Of many
Scotsmen.
The House of Stewart was start.
ed in Scotland about 800 years ago.
A man named Walter Fitzalan be-
came steward of Scotland" He
managed the palace Of the King and
was granted large estates. He
changed his family name to stew
art" and this name was kept by
his descendants. Among his descend
ants were IA Scottish Kings.
The question about trees may be
answered rather quickly. Most of
the worlds trees are wild, growing
in great forests and woodlands.
Those which may be called tame"
are FRUIT trees, palms and shade
trees which are planted by people
and pruned and otherwise cared for
while growing.

fish occupied deep water at one
time. The fish, more than likely
being captured by bird, was lodged
in the tree and slid down into
assure of the trunk. The bird lost
his dinner; the fish escaped.
AS a matter of actual observation,
when the waters inhabited by the
perch dry up, the fish migrate at
night from pond to pond. The gill
covers as well as the fins assist in
the walking" The gill covers are
fully extended and the pectoral fins
are spread out. The former are
bent outward, the pointed ends seek
a firm hold, and the fish, by twist
ing and turning, jerks itself forward.
BY using the spines of the gill COW
ers and expert body movement, the
perch makes good tine over the
ground. The pectoral fins and the
tail are the pushers.
Should the traveller fail to find
water during his travels, he digs
into the mud, even down to a depth
of foot and half, and awaits the
rains. Sometimes his mud home
becomes caked and brittle. Finally
the water comes in sufficient volume
to awaken the sleeper, who makes
his way out, limbers up and swims
about.
When in the water the perch
come to be surface often for air.
The air inhaled Is taken into two
chambers situated one on each side
OF the gills, forming outgrowths
from the ordinary bronchial cham
bers.
Climbing perch belong to the So
called Labyrinth fishes of the fresh
water of tropical Africa and Asia.
They are so named because they

CLIMBING PERCH
(Andbas scdndens,)

Oh, the fables that have been
written about the climbing perch !!
Back in the 9th century two Arabic
travellers returned with the story
that they saw an Indian fresh-water
fish walking on land. Now there
are fish stories and fish stories. Yet
scientists also saw this strolling
perch in the assure of palm tree
and decided it climbed trees. Was
it not there in the treetops? So the
yarns grew.
Today, while this perch is still
known as the climber, his mode of
reaching some distance on the tree
trunk is understood. Both tree and

fication will be done away with
hereafter. This classification is

Briefly the new law is to the

However, no non-father shall be de-

S139.40 For
Red Cross

MARYLAND, Dec lathe local
unit of the Warland Red Cross put
on carnival at Gerber hall last
Friday night and raised the sum of
$139. 40. towards local expenses and
the coming Roll Call drive. The
carnival was pronounced huge
success and consisted of guessing
games, fish pond, grab bags, men
dressed, up as women in a beauty
contest, fortune telling, various
games, and singing by the Warland
school children. Oh yes, the "hot
dogs" served with piping hot cof-
fee and the counter lunch was
heavily patronized. Perhaps the
best display of skill was in the dart
throwing contest at Hitler's face
with many bulls eye scored time
and again. No one passed up such
golden opportunity.
Willard Plott was awarded a prize
for the best dressed and prettiest
woman among a bunch of about 20
contestants, SO all males will tip
their hats to Willard from now on.
The Junior Red Gross Unit also
had stand and sold novelties and
a game picture from which they
realized about $500.
Two enlarged photographs, one
of big mule deer buck, the other
of the Warland bridge in winter,
were auctioned off and brought the
nice sum of $500.
Mrs. D. A. Gilchrist, chairman Of
the Warland Red Cross Unit, is
very much pleased over the results
of the carnival and states that each
committee member worked hard
and faithful to make the event a
big success. Those who had charge
of specific committees are Mrs. VIM.
Glass, Mrs. K. G. Bodies, Mrs. Grace
Virginia Peterson, Mrs. Walter Zim-
norman, Mrs. Eddie Higgins, Mrs
Lester Heuscher, Mrs. L. L. Lake
for the Jr. Red Cross; Mrs. Chas.
Collinson, Mrs. Jesse Hawol'th, Mrs
Willard Plots, Mrs. Darrell Will
harns, Mrs. Robert Hess, Mrs. Nina
Woodward and Mrs. Ledum.
The local chairman further states
that the ways and means commit
tee wishes, particularly, to thank
A. A. Wood of the Libby schools
for his thoughtful suggestions, E.
N. Woodward for the use of his hall,
L.. L. Lake for the two pictures do
mated for auction, Mrs. L. l.. Lake
and Warland school children, each
committee member, and all who SO
generously gave of their time to
make the carnival a success.
