LOS ANGELES, Dec. 13. (UP)-
Funeral services for Edward X.
Maier, 81, colorful California sports
man and brewery president, were
arranged today following his fiery
death early Sunday in his Topanga

ing interest in professional base

His Vernon Baseball club, found
ed with his brother Fred in 1909,
still holds a record for three con-
secutive Coast league champion
ships, in 1918, 1919 and 1920.

Must Make Report
On Foreign Property

Citizens of Askov who own any
property in foreign countries were
notified by Postmaster Svend Peter
sen this week that they must file re-
ports of their foreign holdings with
the Treasury department before De-
cember 1. The notice was given by
means of poster placed on display
in the post office.
Postmaster Petersen points out that
it is necessary for the government
to have as complete information as
possible on the American stake
abroad to assist the military authori-
ties and the civilian governments on
the fighting fronts and to bring about
sound solutions of the postwar prob
lens.
Report forms, known as TFR-500,
may be obtained through commercial
banks, or from the nearest Federal
Reserve bank, the postmaster states.
Penalties are provided for those who
wilfully fail to file reports.

Mari Stottrup, who is making
an extended tour through western
points. The following article
covers part of her journey from

City, Oregon.
We are worming our way toward
Mt. Shasta. We see it now to our
left there to our right, and again to
our left, after having felt as though
we moved straight toward it or left
it behind. In order to ascend we
wind around and around, crossing
the Sacramento river four or five
times for nearly five hours. The peak
is barren, but the cracks and gulches
are filled with snow, which, as we
finally reach the heights, so that we
can look across the nearer SUBMITS,
glitter and gleam like polished silver
and we proceed.
We can look back down the road
we have come as though over and
up a rugged stairway in places -
truly a wonderful job of human skill
has been wrought here. The trees be-
long to the pines. There is not much
but plenty of rocks of
a chocolate brown color, and cliffs
covered partly with yellowish clay.

Hiking Tough? Use
Horse On Deer Hunt

When walking is too tough on
your deer hunting trip, get a
horse!
This idea was developed in the
season just closed, by Warren
Derr, Beroun hunter, who found
it somewhat difficult to get
around in the woods because of
age and avoirdupois. Enjoying
his hunting now as much as in
his younger days, he had horse
trucked to him in northern Min
nesota and with a big red blanket
strapped on the animal, rode
through the woods in search of
deer.
1t is reported he bagged his
deer without too much effort in
this manner, and without violat-
ing any game regulations.

International News Review

Zhitomir from the Germans, and
that victory was hailed as a signal
triumph since Zhitomir is a first
rank railway junction. Immediately
after this capture the Russians con-
tinued their westward march toward
the pre-War frontier of Poland.
But then something went wrong,
for the Germans, evidently having
been strengthened by new reserves,
once more captured Zhimotir and be-
gan to dxve the Russians back in
the easterly direction. This is the first
Soviet setback since the summer Of
fensive began early in July.
Islands.
The loss of Zhitomir was not the
only disappointment which the
United Nations suffered toward the
latter part of November, for six of
the Dodecanese Islands - in the
Aagaean Sea, between Greece and
Turkey - were taken by the Ger
mans who also, according to a re-
port coming in while these lines are
being written, captured the larger
island of Samos, very close to the
Turkish coast.
The London press is pretty sore
about it and is asking the govern
ment pointed questions about the
reasons why the islands could not
be held.
There is another reason why the
newspapers in England direct their
criticism against the British govern
ment, and that is that it has secretly
released Sir Oswald Mosley and his
wife from the prison where they had
been shut up since 1910: they were
known as the most dangerous of all
British-born Nazis; in spite of that
fact, they are now free, and the gov
ernment has found it necessary to
offer as justification the alleged fact
Sir Oswald suffers from phlebitis,
statement which prompted an edi-
torial question as to why that could
not be taken care of in a modernly
equipped prison.
