For example, Joe will take

record them all and come up

This Is the End
HOLLYWOOD.


For the last six years Holly
woods Junior Chamber of Com
merce has staged a charity "out
of this world" baseball game,
with all the big screen per-
sonalities appearing in the con-
test. Mismanagement and jeal-
ousies among the highly sensi-
tive participants have caused
trouble every year-but the 1852
event, staged a few nights ago,
undoubtedly marked the end Of
the annual affair.
From the moment the lights
went on everybody began bicker-
ing over who should have the
best spot at bat or in the field.
Show-offs ran away with the
proceedings. Even the fan
magazine and wire-service pho
tographers got their dander up
and walked off the field en-
masse, leaving no one to make
deathless impressions of the af-
fair on plates. AS a raucous
finale, horn-tooter James got
into a hot argument with the
ever-present Jackie Coogan and
the pair exchanged off-color
insults.

Bell Telephone
Go. Complies Top
Safety Record

The highest tribute paid by the
National Safety Council, the Award
Of Honor, was recently presented
70 Bell Telephone Companies in
recognition of an accident fire.
quency less than one-fifth that of
industry in general.
The communication industry has
topped all major industries in sa-
fety performance in each of the
past eight years, according to the
president of the Council. During
the past two-year period, 195O-51,
telephone employees established a
frequency rate of less than one ac-
cident for each half million hours
worked, compared with more than
four for industry in general.
In Dade and Monroe Counties,
Southern Bell operated 1886 vehicles,
and the outstanding safety record
of telephone employees in this
area has played an important part
in the winning of this award.
Based on a comparison of the
safety record since 1880 with that
of a 1926-3C base period, C. F.
Craig, president of the A. T. and
T. Company, credited an improving
safety program with preventing
700 fatalities and $1,000 injuries
in the Bell System in the past 21
years.
