Mountain Girls To Sing At Morning
Services In Methodist Church Here

A girls quartet, comprised OF
girls from the southeastern Ker
tucky mountains, will sing at the
morning worship services in the
Trinity Methodist Church herr
The girls, with their settlement
founder travelled from the Cum.
berland mountain range to appear
here.
Readers Digest says of this re-
gion: Until late years this was
considered the most dangerous
spot in Kentucky's backwoodS,
festered with moonshine stills and
hot-tempered feudists who would
as willingly kill a man as a bot
cat. Its people lived by the crud
est primitive standards. their
only law the frontier rule of
knife and gun. Peaceable out
siderS Stunned it like pesti-
lence."
The greater part of this tre-
mendous change is due to all
evangelistic preacher-Hiram NJ.
Frakes-Who took his life in his
hands by daring to enter this re
gion with a dream and plan.
He conceived of a building that
would be combination church
and school and was able to talk
an irascible gun-toting moonshiner
to donate land. One by one
these mountain folk helped in
constructing necessary buildings
and in working together forgot
their feuding spirit.

Red Shield Rooms Need Extra Chair

Somewhere in the vicinity of Ju- neau, it is hoped, there may be some one who has one or two chairs of that old type known as "oyerstuffed" in leather or com- position upholstering that is no longer desirable for streamlined home, but which the owner would enjoy presenting to The Salvation Army for use in the Red Shield Reading Room welfare project.
 No need to retell how many hundreds of CTS used the Red Shield rooms when stationed here at the Duck Creek encampment, nor how many transient men have enjoyed the hospitality of this social center. Word has come through the grapevine route that some of the chairs now serving the Red Shield have seen better days and are ready for final retirement.
 Hence it has been suggested by those interested in this program that any person owning such a chair and wishing to donate it for this good use may have it picked up by phoning Lieutenant William Lynch, who assists in maintaining the reading room. His telephone number is Juneau 254.

 An Allied officer said, We clob- bered the hell out of them all night. Without the artillery the Reds could have made it hard on the ROKs."
 The South Koreans also threw back several other jabs at their Pukhan river line southeast of 'Kumsong.
 On the Eastern front United Na- tions soldiers repulsed Red at tack northwest of the Punchbowl after a five and one-half hour fight that ended shortly after dawn Wednesday,.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 - iR = Moscow is using what it describes as testimony of American war pris- oners to reply to US. charges of Communist atrocities in Korea.
 One such prisoner was quoted in broadcast recorded here as say- ing that he was better off in a North Korean camp than he was when unemployed in New York.
 A long series of such statements complete with names and addresses, has been beamed to the United States and other western countries since Col. James M Hanley of the Eighth Army made his estimate that about $500 American prisoners have been slain by the North Ko- reans and the Chinese.
 In an English language broadcast recorded today by US. government monitors, one American prisoner was quoted
