 The Christmas Seal Sale among the business houses, originally scheduled to begin after the meet ing Wednesday November g, has been postponed until Monday Nov.

It has been the custom for the Kiwaris Committee to complete the can vass of the business houses, after which the Christmas Seals will be mailed to the residence district from the Central office of the ATA in the Valentine building. Every effcrt is being made by the ATA to avoid duplicating the names al- ready solicited by the Kiwanis Club.

 DRIVE BY ACCA

Young children and tiny babies shouldn't have crooked legs or backs. cleft lips or palates, club feet or birth deformities, burns or birthmarks, rheumatic fever or ln- fantile paralysis.
 Unfortunately, many do. pr. Philip Moore, noted Alaskan or thopedic surgeon, estimates that there are 1,056 known cases of crippled children in the Territory in need of assistance.
 Thirty three known cases are in the Gastineau Channel area.
 Anyone being shown through the Mt. Edgecumbe Orthopedic Hos pital at Sitka is first filled with pity, then with a sense of the mir aculous, as the results of treatment become clear.
 The piysiotherapy equipment there equals that of any orthopedic hospital in the United States. Many is the case history of child who came in on crutches and walk ed away on sturdy legs, of a baby made helpless by tuberculosis Of the spine who will be able to lead healthy, normal life.
 It is for this work that the Ju- neau-Douglas Chapter of the AL aska Crippled Children's Associa- tion designated November as mem- bership month, and asks everyone in the Gastinean Channel area to join or renew membership at $1O0 a year. This is the only solicitation to be made for year, except for silent invitation of ACCA contain CTS in public places.
 In the year just past, the Ju- neau-Douglas Chapter received $1,- 26485 through membership dues and contributions. Of this amount, $500 was kept in Juneau to defray costs of various needs of the Mt. Edgecumbe Orthopedic Hospital; the rest was sent to the ACCA Ter ritorial headquarters in Anchorage for the general fund.
 Some of the items purchased were a pad for wheel stretcher, radio photograph and records, hos pital garments, occupational ther- apy supplies and Christmas toys for the children.
 The hospital is operated by the Alaska Native Service in ccopera- tion with the Alaska Department Of Health. All children, regardless of race or creed-if under 21 and living in Alaska-are eligible for care under the Crippled Children's Program.

GALLUP POLL

NEW YORK, Nov. 8-tR--A new model Gallup Poll gives former Gov. Herbert H. Lehman 46 to 34 lead in New York's red hot US. Senate election today.
 Lehman's rival is Republican Sen. John Foster Dulles, appointed sev- eral months ago by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey.
 The polls final vote survey was carried up to Nov. 4. It lists the remaining 20 percent of those polled as undecided but Lehman, the Democratic Liberal candidate, held a slight edge here, too.
 Today is the first major test of the poll since it's wrong prediction of a Dewey victory over President Truman last year-the only really big error in the polls history.
 Director George Gallup of the American Institute of Public Opin- ion said his new poll has num- Der of refinements aimed at pre- venting a mistake like last years.

JUDGE F0LTA HAS
 CLOSE SHAVE IN
 ATTACK BY BEAR

Judge George w. Folta, who is an authority on the subject of hunting as the law of the land says that 99 times out 100 a bear will run when a human shouts at it.
 Friday, while he was hunting on the west side of Chichagof Is- land, the Tooth time came, and if one shot hadn't done the trick, Judge Folta might not have been able to tell the story today. lie had been hunting for more than week with a party which included Ralph Mortenson, Marcus Jensen and Chris Wyller. The party, out after deer, had sighted eight bears.
 Friday morning, while Judge Folta was standing above a clear ing, brown she-bear with two cubs passed below him and turned to sniff in the direction of Wyller, who was hunting some distance off
 Judge Folta, knowing bears, avoided the big brownie then. He thought she would probably be miles away with her cubs by the time he returned in the afternoon.
 Bur Heads On If prl,c ,n ctn into clearing in the vicinity that after noon he saw the big she-bear com- ing out of the brush. The bear did not see him, but she was headed toward him.
 With his rifle in his left hand, he shouted at the bear to chase her away
 What do you think you're doing here" he called.
 Ninety-nine times out of 100, a bear would have run back into the brush, but this was the tooth time. The bear rushed at him.
 Judge Folta quickly shifted his rifle to his right side, took it off safe and raised it. When he fired. the bear was only 10 feet away.
 Lucky Shot
 T got one shot under her chin, :" he recalled today Tt apparently broke her neck. It was a lucky shot. If it hadn't killed the bear guess I wouldn't be here now"
 Judge Folta says he doesn't be- lieve in shooting bears with cubs The skin of a bear with young isn't much good, he says; and it's a pitiful sight to see the cubs stay ing with the carcass of their mother
 But he had to shoot that one.
 He is also reluctant about giv- ing out a story like this one. But he did so because he hopes it may serve as a warning to others; be ready, because any time you see a bear it may be one which won't run away at shout
 When asked for the story, he said, Just mention that the party got six deer"
 Biggest: A buck with three points on one side and four on the other.
 The party returned to Juneau Sunday.
