AL Jolson, the veteran jazz singer

I'm going. boys" the famous
Nanny Singer told two longtime
friends with whom he was playing
gin rummy in the st. Francis hotel.
He died quietly, quickly, of coro-

pain, said the house physician.
Jolson, "a, had returned only two

song writer Harry Akst and Martin
Fried, AIS accompanies and ar
ranger. They had come with him
from southern California for

corded here tonight.
Akst telephoned Jolson's fourth
wife, Erie Galbraith. whom he
married in 1945. She was at Encino,
Calf. She was reported to have
collapsed with grief.
Jolson was riding the crest of
popularity wave for the second time
in an entertainment career that
began in 1899. His popularity with
the troops was unsurpassed. In
World War II, he Travelled to Europe,

Those guys are wonderful! This is
much tougher war than the last

He entertained CTS at the front

Korea was at its smallest and under
constant attack.

guys and there was a lot of noise"
he related.

WATCHES CAN HELP
YOU IF YOU ARE LOST

If you are ever lost in the woods
and have a watch with you, there
is a way to use your watch as
compass. According to the Jewelry
Industry Council, if you lay the
watch down with its face upward
and point the hour hand toward
the sun, South will be in the d.
rection halfway between the hour
hand and the figure II, counting
forward as the hands turn in the
morning hours, and backward in
the afternoon. This is because the
hour hand moves around the dial
just twice as fast as the sun moves
around the sky, making full
circle in twelve hours while the
sun makes its half circle from
horizon to horizon.
