Around Town With
The Editor

Mrs. Douglas and myself are very
happy at the number of Christmas
cards we have received but there
is one we would very much like to
know who the sender is
II is a very pretty card with
view of Williamsburg, Va, but the
sender lust forgot to sign it. So,
whoever YOU are, we thank you for
that one too, but we hope you Will
call either Mrs. Douglas or myself
SO that we will have the pleasure of
knowing who sent it to us
But no card or thought gave me
greater happiness than the one eX-
pressed by six ycar-old pal of mine
who is recovering from an attack OF
chicken poX.
Dropping in to see her for few
minutes on my way home Monday
evening, ! asked her the age old
question - what do you want Santa
to bring you on Christmas morning?
Sally's answer was - Il Want
You" - and then, so that there
would be no misunderstanding, she
added - "Y 0 u"
Congratulations to DR.. SnaVely on

ident for the past year.
In addition to the new president,
other officers named Gall without

Up to the time of going to press,
the following four men have filed
Gall on the Republican ticket for
the office of Councilmen in next
months Primary;
Ward l, Jack Hellane; Ward II,
Attorney Lloyd r. Kuhn; Ward III,
Lionel Sellman; and Ward V, At
torney Paul Ottinger and Jack
Vor0us.
Jack Hellane is now serving his
third term as Councilman for Ward
I, which was considerably enlarged
when the new City Charter changed
the boundaries of all the Wards in
order to, as nearly as possible, place
the same number of voters in each
of the five Wards of the City.
Both Paul Ottinger and Lloyd
Kuhn are prominent young attorneys
in the city and Mr.. Ottinger also
serves as one of the two city magis-
trates, from which office he will re
sign should he be elected as a Coun-
Gilman. Jack Vorous has for many
years been a city bus driver.
The interest in the Primary will
no doubt increase after the holidays
and 1 am looking for several an
nouncements from both political par
ties for the offices of Councilmen
and Mayor, before the new year is
many days old.
And now a very happy Christmas
to all of you.

With U. S. Ships

SEOUL, KOREA, MARCH ID
tAP) )-The Korean War quieted
today after the heaviest Red

including shell bursts uncomfort-
ably close to four American war

Navy said none of the American
craft was damaged.
Shells from coastal guns strad-
died the cruiser Manchester and
Destroyer Fox. American carrier
planes swept in to support the
two ships in the succeeding artil-
lery duel with the Red artillery.
The sea-air attack silenccd the
Communist cmplacemcnts.
In a separate action in the
Wonsan area, shore batteries fired
at the destroyers Kycs and Nc
Ginty. Both ships received near
misses" the Navy said, but sus-
tanned no damage"
Along the 155 mile ground
font Rcd artillery fired 3,155
rounds, u. S. Eighth Army

on the eastern front. The U. S,
25th Infantry Division in the

But the artillery fire this morn
ing mentioned by the Eighth
