Don't be in too much of a hurry
to buy Christmas presents. Re-
member the wonderful specials
offered by the participating mer-
chants last year-which reminds
me of a story l read in small
pamphlet called "Give YOURSELF
1t runs:
A number of well to do men
were discussing what they would
give their children for Christmas.
I'm getting my boy RADIO, said
one of them proudly. "I'm getting
our daughter BICYCLE another
said. And so on. The last in the
group quietly pulled an envelope
from his pocket and asked them
to read what was inside. The let
ter was addressed to his children.
He promised them faithfully that
he would devote one full day a
month to them, to do whatever
they wished. The other men, who
had been boasting about the ma
terial things didn't realize that
their own companionship was far
more valuable than any tangible
toy. You have only. on the average,
10 years of a child's life to be a
real pal. Your children want you,
along with your material gifts.
Worth considering don't you
think?

Here is an unusual story ran
across recently: In Civil War days
Gaithersburg figured as one of the
towns held up by General Jubal
Early on his march toward Wash
ington. General Early made his
headquarters at the home of Ig-
natius c. Fulks, once the old
DeSellum place and it was there
that one of his adjutants whom
he had commissioned to collect the
$4,000 levied upon the community
to save it from being destroyed
left behind him a pair of buckskin
gloves. The adjutant had taken
them off to count the money (said
to be Confederate notes.. When
he turned to leave he was so
elated that he left the gloves and
for many years after Mr.. Fulks
showed them as "the gloves that
cost $4,000" so runs the story.

Here is a story about the old
Rockville Fair which we had not
heard until recently:
Early in June 1860 the Agri-
cultural Society made plans for the

never to be held. Before the date

the society adjourned until more
happy days. The next meeting was

serving peace between the warning
factions of the society Mr.. Bradley

number of terms and retired only
at his own request.

fessor, and chairman of the COM
mittee on academic freedom and

studying the evidence to deter
mine whether the complaints were
justified. None of the professors or
the colleges which fired them were
named.
Mr.. Iaprade announced his
committee also is investigating
the discharge of three University
Of Washington faculty members
accused of past or present connec-
ton with the Communist Party.
Because of voluminous evidence
in this case, the task of "prepar-
ing suitable report will require
considerable time" he said. The
university, he added, has offered
to cooperate by making available
the information needed.
The dismissal of the three men
was announced January 2 by the
university board of regents. They
are Herbert J. Phillips. Ralph
Gundlach and Joseph Butter
worth.
In the case involving the Wal
lace supporters, most of the in
stitutions had denied that politi-
cal motivations were involved in
the discharges, the association
was told.
However, Mr.. Laprade said, a
number of college administrations
warned their faculty members
that open support Of Mr.. Wallace's S
campaign was embarrassing, and
that these admonitions caused
faculty members to be wary in
publishing their views.
Sometimes, he said, 'institu-
tions fail to see that in their con-
Germ for local support they run
the risk of damaging the reputa-
ton and effectiveness of the
college as college far more than
could be compensated by the

Peiping Reds Prohibit
All Gathering Of News
By Foreign Reporters
By the Assoejotsd Press

/ SHANGHAI, Feb. %. The
Chinese Communists have re-
versed their past policy and Or
dered all foreign correspondents
in Peiping to cease gathering and
sending out news.
The big question seems to be
whether yesterdays order is per-
manent. or a temporary measure
arising from circumstances which
the outside world does not know.
If it is permanent. and to be
a general rule, then the chances
of doing business with Chinese
communism have been dealt a
blow. Observers in Shanghai
could recall sno action likely to
do more to strengthen the as
sumption that communism finds
an Iron Curtain" necessary.
Welcomed Newsmen in Yenan.
During their lean years in
Yenan, former Communist head
quarters in North China. the
Reds welcomed foreign corre-
spondents. BY all accounts, no
restrictions were placed on the
correspondents.
The Chinese Communists were
proud of their accomplishments
and wanted the world to know
about them. Since the civil war
Began in earnest there have been
few accredited correspondents
with them. but this was because
of difficulty in reaching Red areas
through Nationalists lines and a
lack of communications.
Now, apparently, all that is
changed. Nearly a score of foreign
correspondents representing the
press of at least five nations were
ordered to cease operations.
Cause Remains Mystery.
The cause for the action re-
mains a mystery here. To out
siders, it has appeared that the
Reds have been getting a pretty
fair world press-far better than
that of their rivals in China, the
NationalistS.
The Reds explanation that war
conditions are responsible is no
where accepted at face value. in
view of the fact no fighting has
been reported anywhere near
Peiping since the city fell more
than a month ago.

Your Easter Seal;
Hearing Conservation

Zone of a series of articles in
terpreting the work of the Ari-

rem nd Adults-made possible
by annual sale of Easter Sea1S.)
Hearing conservation, one of six
services of the Arizona Society for
Crippled Children and Adults, is
one reason for supporting the cur
rent Eeaster Seal drive for crippled
and handicapped children.
Started in October 1916 under
the direction of Mrs. Lydia Newton,
speech and hearing consultant for
the society, more than Al 900 Ari-
zona public and parochial students
have been tested through county
wide conducted progrems. Mrs.
Newton is currently testing in
Maricopa County. She expects to
work there for the next year and a
half.
This service includes a follow-up
care through clinics established in
each county when testing was COM
pleted, under the direction of local
physicians. It also includes work.
shops for training teachers and
public health nurses to continue
follow-up care.
Rounding~sut the service and di-
recting a program of overall care
is a Medical Hearing Conservation
Committee named by the American
Medical Association to serve as
consultants. Stemming from this
is the first Hearing Center in the
state, developed in Tucson to serve
the southern part of Arizona in

In the previous month of jan
uary, the total of placements, other

although February is short month
