Editor Tall Tower:-Seven years ago this Christmas Eve God looking down from His Heavenly throne into the happy home of Favan and John Kinney so pleased that he decided to lend them of His choicest angels to bring them joy and happness thus was born David Michael Kinney.
 His ready smile, twinkling eyes and loving nature brought oy not only to the Knneys but to hundreds of residents of the East En dwho i'll contact with him. To the invalid and afflicted; to the sorrowfu and trou bled and to the grouch and crank DavdS winning personality Softened frightened the load Everyone felt gayer an7 happier for having let him come into his life
 Over in the East End there is heavinesS, pail, caused by the audiences of it a and people aghast at the great tragedy The joy and happiness that David brought to these people best be measured by the crowds that passed his little white caSket and by the hongs that occupied every seat at SS Peter and PauS Church for the services Aug. 28th. Many people go through long life time and don't bring fraction of the happiness that David Michael Kinney did in his six and-a-half short years.
 There are no words of consolation that may offer that would give peace to the hearth of Favan and John Kinney but rather, may the pleasant memories Of the hours of happiness that David gave them help ease the pan and may the happy thought that out of thousands God choose them to be the custodians of one of His angels. bring them peace.
 I'm sure when God calls us home and we wait at The Gate of Heaven for admitance standing next to Saint Peter will be little David Michael Kinney with broad grin and twinkng eyes; and we will once again hear his old familiar salutation, Highya'." J.W.

Production Of Bedding
And Electrical
Appliances Increased

Production of bedsprings, box
springs, innerspring mattresses,
studio touches and other types of
bedding will be increased in the
coming months, says WPB, but not
to any appreciable extent, as the
supply of textiles and other mater
ials is still limited. Limitations
have been removed on the manu-
facture of the following electrical
appliances: air heaters, household
coasters, casseroles, chatting dishes,
heating pads, household waffle
irons, dry shavers, hair clippers,
permanent wave equipment and
home dishwashers. Continuing
scarcity of materials, however will
also limit the number of these
items available to consumers for
many months. To provide more
work socks for civilians, WPB re-
moved the freeze on circular hos
iery knitting machinese above 72
needles that had been frozen to the
production of wool socks for the
armed services.
