My imaginary friend, Hey

SWEET TOOTH
We see by the papers that
new cereal is now being

Remember the best
way to make cross is to

PARADE
Everyone loves parade.
This is evidenced by the large

Sundays celebration. We
think there ought to be more
parades.
wow!
The Federal budget in 1948
was 33 II 3 greater than the
entire income of 6 million
American farms.
VIEWPOINT
One advantage of being an
inmate of the London Prison
Farm is that it gives per-
son a chance to be with the
Angels and still get three
squares a day.
LAW
Inasmuch as the jury had not
reached a verdict after sew
eral hours of deliberation the
Judge said that he would have
the bailiff send in twelve sup
pers to the jurymen. The fore
man, due to the obstinancy of
one of the jurors, suggested
that the order be changed to
eleven suppers and bale
of hay!

probably the most thorough baby
leopard hunt ever staged in the

of suggestions-but no baby leop-
ards. Then, Mrs. Kerr hit on an

She would dress her pet in leop-

The Washington designer who

never had turned her talents to a

Even the Senator himself had

ator Kerr was awakened by
Candy's howl.
Il agree with the neighbors, :"
the Senator announced fatty.
"Why don't you turn that dog
loose?"
The hopes of the Oklahoma
ladies, however, were pinned on
Candy, and Mrs. Kerr felt the re-
sponsibility to guard the pup.
To be sure that everything was
all set, Mrs. Kerr cleared Candy's
date with the health authorities,

Candy is all dressed up in
leopard's clothing-and no place
to go.
Sad-eyed Candy is just little
dog, a blond cocker, without pap
ers or pedigree. But she was
about to have her day starring for
Mrs. Truman and other high rank,
until some petticoat politicians
gave her the boot.
"The "No Dogs Allowed" sign
has been posted for the annual
fashion show of the Women's Ma
tional Democratic Club Wednes-
day at the Statler Hotel.
Candy belongs to Senator and
Mrs. Kerr Of Oklahoma. Senator
Kerr went to bat for Candy. He
put it bluntly to the manager of
the Statler:
The basic question is whether
Candy, fully covered, would be
more-or less-a disturbing in
f1uence" than a parade OF blondS
modelling scanty attire?
Herbert Blunck, the Statler man
ager. conceded the Senator had
logic on his side. but the Lunch
con Ladies Management Com
mittee, it seems. had ruled against
any animated" table decorations,
after news got out that Mrs. Kerr
was seeking a baby leopard to cop
the prize for the Oklahoma table.
Here is the background:
Mrs. Kerr originally conceived
the idea of centering the Okla
homa table with a baby leopard,
recalling the recent escaped leop-
ard episode in Oklahoma City
which made headlines for several
days.
The Kerrs launched what was

brought home as trophies from
his own hunt in distant foreign
jungles.
Mrs. Ida Brei. Shawano, Wis.
a self-styled amateur banquet
decorator, who read of Mrs. Kerr's
baby leopard hunt, termed it a
splendid idea" for a table center
piece. but conceded with dead-pan
expression, II can see it would be
a big responsibility if you really
did get one"
AS a substitute, Mrs. Brei sug-
gested a stuffed model made from
leopard cloth, animated by an
electrical device and displayed in
a glass cage. Or she proposed, a
large china leopard, hanked by
two smaller ones, and leopard
colored" candles.

Mohr Gets ; 10 Years
For Mercy Killing Of
Brother With Cancer
By ths Asseeiefsd Press

ALLENTOWN. Pa. April TO-
Harold A. Mohr today was SEN
fenced to a prison term of three
to six years for the so-called
mercy killing Of his cancer-rav-
aged brother, Walter. IS. Mohr
was convicted Friday of voluntary
manslaughter.
Judge James F. Henninger also
imposed a fine of $500 on the &C.
year-old tannery worker.
The maximum sentence for VOL
untary manslaughter is IL years
in prison and a fine Of $4,000.
A Lehigh County jury Of four
men and eight women had recon-
mended mercy in finding Mohr
guilty Of manslaughter.
Judge Henninger said he ac-
quiesced to the jurors who, he
said, believed Mohr shot his
brother out OF sympathy"
''Nothing to Say"
Mohr stood quietly before the
bar to hear his sentence. His face
showed no emotion and he con-
tinued to gaze. with a dull ex-
preston, at the floor as he did
throughout his trial.
Asked for comment by reporters,
Mohr said: Il have nothing to
say"
Mohr was convicted Of killing
his blind, cancer-stricken brother.
at their home in nearby Coplay
last March 8.
The defendant and three other
brothers testified Walter often had
asked to be put out OF his
misery"
Defense Attorney Harry c.
Creveling based his case on a plea
Of temporary insanity. Two
psychiatrists testified that Harold's s
mlnQ became temporarily un-
hinged from the task of caring
for his disfigured brother.
Two Other Convictions.
Judge Henninger instructed the
jury that mercy killing is not a
legal defense"
District Attorney Kenneth H.
Koch said Mohr stepped into the
shoes of God" to kill Walter. He
asked the jurors to convict Mohr
and bring mercy killings to a
halt"
There are only two other cases
Of convictions in so-called mercy
killings on record in the United
States. And both other convic-
tions came in this same Lehigh
County courthouse.
The defendants, both women,
were convicted of murder and OF
voluntary manslaughter. Both still
are in State penal institutions.

/ Speak for Democracy

Since 1776 and earlier, demo-
cratic ideas have existed on the
continent of North America; for
nearly two centuries democracy
has f1ourished and grown steadily
stronger. More than once has its
strength been tested, notably in
1914-1918 and again in 1941-1945.
Yet it withstood these great chal-
lenges. No other word in the Eng
lish language has so extensive an
area in meaning or plays so inten-
sive part in our daily lives as
does democracy. My feeling is that
democracy is worth paying any
price for and 1 am sure there are
many millions of people of this
great country of ours who feel just
as I do. Our ancestors came to
this New World to be democratic,
to secure the freedoms of religion,
assembly, speech, and also the
freedom to work and live as they
wished. For these freedoms they
paid the highest possible toll-they
paid with their lives in order that
we may enjoy all these liberties.
Our cost in sustaining these liber-
ties is so small in comparison to
their efforts in achieving them.
Our sympathy and consideration
for others has been the life line of
democracy.
Let us ask ourselves what the
United States is today. After
thinking on this question, it is a
pleasure to answer. The United
States is a big, beautiful country
with large beautiful lakes, high
towering mountains, winding riv-
ers and access to oceans. The soil
is so fertile that it will grow any
thing one could wish. Many of our
foreign friends have come to this
land because it is a powerful land
of liberty. Yes, the United States
is a Ian of liberty-a land of
every race, creed, and color. The
United States is the land where
the government of the people, by
the people and for the people will
not pass away. The United States
is the land where all people are
friends no matter what their race,
their creed or their color may be.
Although America is beautiful, the
uniqueness of it is found in MANY
dlferent races of people that make
