UPRISE IN ENLISTMENTS
Since the start of the Korean
fracas last month, the Rockville
Recruiting Station has been
swamped with applications for
both the Army and Air Force.

Michaela contracted serious disease; her
doctor bills totaled $38 weekly. Then
their house burned down. Malone did not
seek relief, but moved his family into an
abandoned 10-by-12 chicken house, which
he fixed up as best he could.
Tommy Francis got together with
Whitley Blickensderfer, o. A. Kelly and
H. G. Whiddon, who is president of the
local Lions Club. They visited the
Malones and found that here was job
that had to be done quickly. 1t called for
teamwork.
Little Mchaela's predicament is a tough
one; she has rare respiratory disease
diagnosed as cystic flbrosis of the pancreas.
Medical authorities say that child of five,
given excellent food and care, has good
chance of surviving this malady. But
Michaela was only three and IA half and
lived in a chicken house. Her chances of
recovery were therefore slender. But
the boys like long shots; they figure
they have a winner coming to them.
The call for help went out among the
Fiscus heroes. Whiddon got the Lions
Club started raising funds. Whitley, Kel-
ly and Tommy telephoned everyone they
could think of who participated in the
Fiscus operation, and others passed along
the word to the ones they had missed.
Ultimately, to the astonishment of the
neighbors, an army of Ill assembled on

Enough contributions were forthcoming
to make a down payment on lot. 1t
wasn't a very fancy lot; but they got it
at a good figure from real-estate firm
handling large estate.
Once the lot was in escrow, they went
after money and materials. Six sacks of
cement were the nucleus. A dozen more
sacks appeared mysteriously; lumber
company donated 1000 board feet of sid
ing; another firm gave sand and gravel and
still another supplied roofing.
Letters began pouring in from all over
Southern California. Whiddon, through
his hardware-store office at 824 East Gar
vey Boulevard, Garvey, Calf, was Off
cial custodian of the cash. Children brought
in nickels and dimes. One unidentified
individual showed up at Whiddon's hard
ware store with two-pound coffee can
full of loose change he said he had col
lected in the bars around town. Sizable
checks came through the mail.
They All Helped
.IUsT as fast as the material came in, the
house-raising progressed. Mrs. Malone
and the neighborhood women cooked for
the men, with local stores providing the
groceries. Mary Anne and Almeta, aged
13 and IL, did the dishes Leland brought
his friends to help with the carpentry
work and seven-year-old Lowell Malone
contributed his share by carrying tools.
Michaela, too tired and thin to help,
watched from neighbor's yard. She was
beginning to feel better already. For the
past several weeks she had had good food,
and two prominent surgeons, cloaked in
customary anonymity, volunteered the

In TEAMWORK

The inspiring story of Ill

feels good to do good
nNE April morning year ago little
" girl disappeared suddenly into the
earth, and the vain but valiant attempt to
rescue her from her prison - an aban-
doned well = provided one of the epic
heroism stories of our times.
The entire world momentarily forgot its
pickering in its concern for the fate of little
Kathy Fiscus, of San Marino. Calf.
Kathy's plight moved political and eco
nomic events off the front pages of news
papers here and abroad. Offers of help
poured in from all over the country and
when it was all over, reward money began
flooding in. The Ill men who had worked
a desperate 60 hours in a futile rescue
effort felt that this spontaneous express
sion of brotherhood should in some way
be kept alive.
"Rescue Squad"
HE feeling was intensified when they
sat in Pasadena church for the awarding
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars medals
and citizenship citations. They heard the
minister speak knowingly of the significance
of their deed, of the ray of universal hope
one rescue operation could bring to the
world.
After the service, Beth Ann, the small
daughter of Joel Ledden, one of the Ill.
came running up to see her father medal.
Its awfully pretty" Beth Ann said.
But you'll put it away in trunk and
nobody will ever see it again."
The men looked at each other. why
don't we form a rescue squad" somebody
said, land keep this thing going?"
The idea clicked instantly. 1--WE didn't

Founded
Upon Rock
BY Ruth Taylor

"And the rain descended,
and the floods came, and the
winds blew, and beat upon
that house; and 1t fell not: for
1t was founded upon a rock"
The testing time has arrived.
We will now learn whether or
not we have truly founded this
republic upon the rock. We have
taken our democratic way of life
for granted. Upon national holt
days we have assembled to
listen to speeches about the past,
to stories of the hardships which
the founders of our nations went
through. We have agreed that
we had a great heritage, and
then we have gone back to our
own comfortable way of living.
Now Is the hour of trial.
From all quarters of the globe,
the forces that hate democracy
because 1t is practical exempli-
fication Of the brotherhood of
man and the fatherhood of God,
are descending upon us.
The foundersof this country
built a nation upon the belief
that man is entitled to freedom,
that he is capable of Self-govern-
ment, that his beliefs are be-
tween him and his God alone.
Under this doctrine we have
prospered until that prosperity
has aroused the envy and covet-
business of those who saw only
the success and not the cause,
who could not see that a man
would work harder for himself
than for a master.
We, the inheritors of this
house, have been negligent, in
different, overconfident - and
ano now we are faced with the
necessity of fighting to the
finish for our democratic way
of life. If enough of us be-
lieve in Democracy, in equal
rights for all men, Democracy
will live, no matter what gales
may storm down upon us.
But we now have to prove that
we believe-We have to put De-
mocracy into action. We have to
give up temporarily many of
the things we deemed necessary,
we have to work harderc dis
cipline ourselves more rigidly,
work together in factory and
field, fight on the land, on the
sea and in the. air for the pres
ervation of the freedom without
which we do not wish to live.
If we do thisc, if we put de-
mocracy into action, we will win
for the house of our republic
is founded upon the rock of
freedom for all, and that rock
will endure forever and a day.

Charlie Mccarthy Returns
To Airwaves On October 8

Charlie Mccarthy begins his
18th year as one of the naton's
most beloved characters when he
returns to radio Sunday evening,
October 8, with a special broad

Carthy Show Is back with the
same sponsor, The Coca-Cola
Company. and with the same
cast that kept it among the lead
ers in the popularity ratings last
season, namely, Edgar, Charlie,
Mortimer Snerd, Ray Noble, and
Ercil Twng, plus top-name guest
stars and such gifted supporting
players as Hans Conried and
Jim Backus.
Guest star on the initial show
will be Jane Wyman. She shows
up at the Marine camp to find
out why she has been receiving
hundreds of telephone calls from
r o m a marines stationed
there.
It develops that Charlie has
been selling the telephone num-
bers of Hollywood glamour gals
to boost marine morale, he
claims-and that Miss Wyman's
number tops the best seller list.
To facilitate his travel through
the base, Charlie also takes the
liberty of borrowing the Com
Officers staff car. Also

which, for some reason, he finds
to be invaluable in getting

through traffic jams and re-
Stricted areas.
Unfortunately, however, the
hat falls down over his eyes at
a crucial moment, with the re-
suit that he drives the car right
into the kitchen of the mess hall.
The apoplectic mess sergeant
turns out to be, of course, Ercil
living, which makes things even
messier.
One thing leads to another, as
it so often does, and Charlie
finds himself the defendant in

Burke Wilkinson, Little
Brown & c o., 300 pp., $500
Although Burke Wilkinson's
first novel, Proceed Al Will"
was hailed by both American
and English critics as a high
class adventure story, / doubt
very m h if this, his second
novel, published last week, will
receive the same type of well
come.
RUN, MONGOOSE is certain
ly a thrill-packed tale of high
adventure. Violance in every
possible form - including MUIR
ders and finally eliminating in
a typical caribbean revolution
drives the tale to a rather ex-
citing climax.
There are certain aspects of
the plot, however, that l believe
detracts from the story. These
are situations, taken as a matter
of course by Mr.. Wilkinson and
is swashbuckling characters,
that truly tests the credulity of
the reader. 1t is difficult to inn
agine, for example, how a Ger
man U-boat, beached at the end
of the war on a lonely stretch
OF Irish coast, was kept secret
from the local authorities. Espe-
cially since members of the SUBJ
crew - German naval person
mel - were at large in the
vicinity. This entire e p d e
S e e S even more incredible
when we are told that the Ger
man U-boat was of the very lat
est type and frantically sought
after by the British, Russians
and, / suppose, everyone else.
But our willingness, even
eagerness to accept extrordi-
nary situations is even more
taxed by the comic-opera ma
ture> of treachery, revolt a n d
mass murder that Sir Gabriel
Gregorius, the benevolent and
fabulously wealthy dictator
from the Jamaica back country,
plans and ultimately executes
for the readers benefit. We are
equally puzzled by the role of
Sir Gregorius' beautiful Irish
consort, Lady Felicity Bantry,
whose code of love Is about as
lose n d unpredictable as we
have seen In a long time.
Geoffry Mildmay, hero a n d
high caliber adventurer, turns
in a good performance, although
his friend, William Stacey - an
American engineer with a crav-
ing for high adventure that he
forever tries to hide - actually
steals the show from him.
Weather Mildmay, Is a Sound
eral or a loyal subject Is not re-
vealed until the very end Of the
tale. There are times when
Stacey himself could be classed
a traitor to his own Uncle Sam.
Despite these shortcomings,
the adventure tale is a fast NOV
ing, action-packed thriller. From
the moment the tale opens in
Dublin with its murder, secret
attempted D.
pings and-the secret U-boat to
be used as a gun-runner, up to
the final climatic revolt in
Jamaica the author has succeed
ed in maintaining interest and,
on occasion, even suspense.
