Santa without portfolio" might
be a description of Mr.. William p.
Hoermle, owner of Hoerrile Ap-
pliance Store at 1894 Parsons ave.
At least that's what the gener-
Gus South-sider is to hundreds of
youngsters who congregate at the
st. Stephen Community House on
Barthman ave.
For the last five years, Mr..
Hoermle has donated some 400
toys, of all description, to the chill
dren for Christmas, and this year
was no exception. One of the up
stairs rooms at the Community
House is jammed with hundreds
of gaily wrapped, mysterious look
ing packages. We got a glimpse of
some of the items before they
were wrapped and can guarantee
the south side youngsters a very
merry Christmas, indeed.
Big trucks, pretty dolls, drums,
ukeleleS, cars, games of all sorts
and many, many other items to
bring a thrill to a child, were ready
to be distributed.
Mr.. Hoermle, who is a member
Of the ST. Stephen advisory board,
is also a prominent member of
Corpus Christi parish. In addition,
he is a member of the South Side
Lions Club and the Steelton Mer-
chants Association.
His store is located on Parsons
ave-, just around the corner from
the Community House. He has been
located there for 28 years and calls
the Community House "a pet pro-
ject."
Mr.. Hoernle is extremely reti-
cent concerning his project but the
director of the House, William
Santanich, is unable to say enough
in praise of his cohort.
Without him, we wouldn't have
half of what We have here, :"
Mr.. Santanich says. Hes really a
wonderful guy"
The toys are distributed to the
most needy youngsters who use
the facilities of the house. A SER
les of parties is held for the various
age groups at which time the gifts
are distributed. One such party
will be televised Dec. % on televi-
sion station WLW-C, at 1:30 pm.
when the children from 6-12 years
old will get their gifts.
Mr.. Hoermle's older son, Bill,
jr., assists his dad with his Santa
duties. His younger son, 13-year-
old John, is an eighth grade stu
dent at Corpus Christi School.

Seminarians Say
Morning Prayers
On WLW Program

CINCINNATI - NC) - When the
students at Mt. st. Mary's Semi
nary recite their morning prayers,
they aren't alone. People in at
least a dozen States join with
them.
In September, station WLW
started broadcasting prayers from
the seminary at $40 am. daily,
and since that time letters of ap-
preciation have come from persons
in IL states - as far away as Geor-
gia and Oklahoma.
Msgr. Joseph j. Schneider, Mt.
st. Mary's rector, said many of the
letters are from nurses and pa
tients in hospitals, some of whom
have said that the broadcasts are
a good preparation for Holy Com
munion. Others have written that
they are saying morning prayers
for the first time as result of the
program.
The program is sponsored by
Cincinnati's Archdiocesan Council
of Catholic Men, of which Monsig-
nor Schneider is moderator.

Germans Plead
For Release OF
French-Held PW's

FREIBURG, Germany - NC) -
The Freiburg archdiocesan mems
organization has urgently appealed
to France for the release of all
Germans still held as prisoners
since the war.
In a message to Vincent Auriol,
President of France, the orgsniza-
ton pleads that pending legal pro-
cedures against these prisoners be
speeded up and that an act of mer-
cy may make it possible for them
to return to their families before
Christmas. Prisoners still held are
accused of war and other crimes.
The appeal to President Auriol
said that the release Of the prison
ers through an act of mercy would
do much to strengthen the will for
peace and would also lessen still
existing tensions.

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Aug. 81
The Belgian representative OF
a London insurance adjuster
said today salvage operations for
bringing up more money from
the sunken Flying Enterprise
have been halted until next year
because of bad weather.
Hamilton Mack, manager of
the Belgian branch of Tyler and
Co., told of this interruption in
a project which already has
yielded about 100000 worth of
sodden United States and Brit
ish currency. Tyler and Co., has
been financing the job.
Mr.. Mack said the little Ital-
ian salvage vessel Rostro, which
had recovered the money and
sent it to a Brussels bank to be
dried out and counted, had left
OoStende, Belgium, last week for
an unknown destination" after
calling off further diving opera
tions on the Sunken American
freighter this year.
Conflicts With Other Stories.
This conflicted with a story
the RoStro's salvage crew chief,
Mario Rafaeli of Genoa, Italy,
told reporters last week. He

said he was heading his vessel
back to the spot where the Fly
ing Enterprise lay split in two
under 40 'fathoms (240 feet) of
water off the British Coast.
And the Oostende ship broker
handling the unloading of the
water-logged treasure said he
expected the Rostro back in
three or four weeks with more
bundles of money.
All of this only added to a
mystery which has started to
bubble up around the Flying En-
terprise.

where the freighter slipped un-
der the waves in a winter storm
19 months ago.
Isbrandtsen Mystified.
Officials of the Isbrandtsen
company, which owned the Fly
ing Enterprise, also were reported
mystif1ed by the reports of the
recovery of the dollars and
pounds-money consigned origi-
nally by Swiss banks to New
York banks.
These officials said they knew
nothing of any big shipment of
money aboard the Flying Enter
prise when she left Hamburg
for New York on her ill-fated
voyage in the yuletide of 1851.
The Enterprises captain, Kurt
Carlson, won worldwide fame by
sticking to the battered freighter
for 13 days before she finally
sank. He jumped into the sea
at the last moment and was
saved by British tug.

A spokesman for the advance
