Death Tokes No
Christmus Holiday


Christmas fire tragedies which
have struck many cities in past
years indicate the need for extra
care during the holiday season, the
National Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers says.
Ninety-nine people died in ST.
Johns, Newfoundland, during the
Christmas season six years ago
when flames from kitchen stove
ignited combustible decorations
hanging from the ceiling. Panic con-
tributed to the death toll in this
fire, which cost more lives than any
other Christmas disaster on this
continent.

Knee-H Starts for Safety Show,
Barely Misses District Pound

Knee-Hi, The Stars safety dog
drew the largest audience of her
local tour last night, when more
than 900 children saw her demon
strate traffic safety rules at Syphax
Playground, at Half and N streets
S.W.
The little dog and her master
George E. BrunSon, had a little
trouble getting to Syphax, and end
ed up at the nearby District Pound
before the show.
1t seems Mr.. Brunson told a taxi
driver to take him to Syphax and
by some means of reasoning the
cabbie ended up at the Pound,
which adjoins another playground.
Mr.. Brunson walked the few blocks
to Syphax with Knee-Hi and still
arrived on time.
After giving her demonstration OF
the dangers of two riding on one
bicycle and of children running
from between parked cars, Knee Hi
barked her criticism of skating in
the street.
In her audience was Thurston Nc
Neil, II, colored, of the 1900 block
of South Capitol street. He was in an
accident last year, which occurred
while he was skating on a busy
thoroughfare- An automobile ran
over his foot, and he hasn't for
gotten it.
Thurston is all right now. But he
isn't skating in the street any more.
He learned his lesson the hard way.

Mr.. Weisner was writing a head
line On a story about the States
Rights Democrats. Suddenly he had
an inspiration. Dixiecrats-itw would
fit. Well, he started something.
He admits that he first thought Of
"SRD." as would any headline writer
in these days Of alphabetical agen-
cies, to identify the party boilers.
But Mr.. Weisner is a consioerate
man. He took the view that he
shouldn't use it; opposition politi-
clans might make capital of it.
They might have said the initials
stood for Standing Room for Dem
ocrats." or something like that.
So Mr.. Weisner made 1t Dixie

to the lament Of the Southern
