Things Were Really Crazy In 1853

man in Leonia, N.J., who was warned of a weak lung in 1861, celebrated his 1O4th birthday. In Laingsburg Mich, a man warned of weak heart 50 years ago celebrated his tooth birthday.
 A 110-year-old Confederate vet eran took his first airplane ride. In England a 95-year-old man was forbidden to ride his motorcycle after police caught him speeding with a bottle of whisky in his pocket. A
 In the general mood of exhilar- ation people picked up things that didn't belong to them. A fel- low in Wichita, Kan, wired his air conditioner to line supplying power to a doctors x-ray machine next door. As a result, the doctor misread an x-ray and treated a patient for ulcers when the guy merely had gas on the stomach.
 In Akron. Ohio, an. 8-year-old girl stole an adding machine from a store window while in Seattle man with $5,5O6.53 in his pock- cts stole a pair of socks. And the most frequently stolen library book in Tulsa, Okla, was the Bible.
 The random impulse was the cause of so many things. Like the man in Chicago who fell II stories and had the presence of mind to say when he got to his feet, uninjured, II must have for gotten my parachute" Or like the Mobile, Ala, barber who, plagued by ulcers and nagging wife, had police lock him for the weekend.
 Names, as usual, made news. The University of Oklahoma en- rolled a freshman named Never Fail. A fellow in Frederick, Md, changed his name from Clubhouse to Dean. In Caldwell, Idaho, a marriage license was taken out by chap named Fiddler - his first, last and only name, just plain Fiddler. In Caldwell too new conservation officer showed up. His name: Les Trout.

Gang of Hoodlllrlls Beat Up Ieggless
 Korean Veteran

LONG BEACH, Calif., R - A special squad of detectives has been assigned to investigate the brutal Christmas Day beating of a 1egless Korean war veteran by a pack of young hoodlums.
 Charles J. Baker, 23, who not only left his legs in Korea but also the fingers of. both hands, was set upon by five or six. youths as he was going home from visit to his uncle's home early Friday morning.
 He told sheriff's deputies that while he was driving in his spe- cially equipped amputee's car an other automobile forced him to the side of the road in the nearby Artesia district. He said he was dragged from his car by the youths and after being beaten and robbed of his new Christmas wrist watch and $10.
 II told them I didn't have any fingers or legs and that I had been in the war but they were all cursing and yelling and hitting me with their fists" Baker told a reporter.
 One of his artificial legs was almost torn off by the attackers. He was treated for numerous bruises and abrasions at an emer- gency hospital after a friend hap pened by and gave him aid.
 Baker and his wife, Bernice, have an eight-month-old baby daughter. He was serving with an Army unit in Korea on Nov. 26, 1851, when he was shot through the chest and leg and lay in freez- ing weather for 36 hours. When he was finally taken to an aid station his legs and fingers were gone be- yond hope of saving. He is still receiving treatment at a veterans hospital.
 Sheriff Eugene w. Biscailuz has assigned six detectives to try and find Bakers attackers.

That old year, 1853, saw many people doing unusual things - screwba1l, ingenious, h a p p y things.
 A suburb of Montreal was troubled for a while by Peep ing Tom who rode to his peeping places on horseback, planted a ladder, and climbed aloft for his observations. Was he crazy?
 We'll, in Oklahoma, a county court had been depending on a psychiatrist for years for advice in sanity cases. But. last March a jury found him mentally incom- petent.
 Still, men kept trying to stick sanely to the jobs. In Ohio a gasoline delivery truck driver de- livered $1,7O0 worth of fuel to a station-then discovered he had stuck the hose nozzle in a sewage drain by mistake. .l
 In Missouri an eager. workman sawed and sawed at what he thought was tree root-until he cut through cable and killed service on 1000 telephones.
 Some men tried to blame their troubles on women as the battle of the sexes surged ahead. Police in Ashland, Ohio, broke open a car trunk when they heard cries for help. Out crawled woman who said she had hidden there to check up on her husband.
 In Perth Anboy, N.J., a 67- year-old fellow was standing on a corner when a. beautiful woman stopped and asked directions. Suddenly she began hugging and kissing him. Fl was so excited and she was so nice," he sighed later - until he discovered his wallet and $450 were missing.
 Various couples were divorced for various reasons, including: a husband who would buy only ham, a husband who insisted on giving his wife weekly intelli- gence tests, a husband who tied his wife in the cellar and poured water over her to s'cool her off. ?
 Then there was thes wife who insisted on taking her first hus- band along whenever her second husband took her out for dinner. The second husband won a di- vorce, complaining he always got stuck with the check.

We can never say that 'Christnas has come and gone for in a very important sense, it is never 'gOne Each Christmas of lives, matter how many leaves at least some further tiny shred of Chris tan understanding in hearts. And if we could live long enough the most cantankerous and rebelious of might absorb the full significance of the Nativity
 But, with that most significant of all dates the calendar behind us we would like to examine briefly that sudden and mysterious drive to put Christ back in Christmas, and it's corollary-to put Santa Claus out of Christmas We understand that various of the clergy are behind this move And we would like to ask by what consecrated arrogance do they presume to tell that have evicted Christ from our most celebrated hOiday-or that must spell the day with a " to sanctify it?
 It is difficult to imagine that any man with the mental capacity for spiritual guidance of others can be Obtuse to miss the point that Santa Claus pro- vides joyous embodiment of Christs teachings that youthful minds are capable of understanding The fact that some merchants - perhaps even majority of them-have over-c r-cOnmercialzed this beloved symbol of brothery love- of the joy of giving and the warmth and sanctty of family ties is rather beside the point Even preacher should admit that merchants are people, and cherish in his heart the hope and belief that they will see the error of their ways. But we can conceive of no more shocking error in these times than bansh Santa Claus. For this if we have any concept of Him. Christ would truly weep

A race that was really uni

outstanding event in future
races was "The Rum Bottle

The race is on while the music
plays; when the music sudden
ly stops, each rider will get
off and be seated on a chair,
placed at intervals around the
track. AT the end Of each race,
one rider will be without a
chair and must leave the
track; the music stars again
and the race is on, it stops and
another rider loses a chair.
That continues until there is
but one chair and two riders.
The rider of Jack Rabbit, Of

The announcement of the 1953-54 season of the Alaska Music Trail concerts brings to us the following artists engaged by Maxim Schapiro for their successful place at the top in the list of those concertizing today, for their great artistic ability and for their genuine friendliness toward new audi ences. We can look forward and be assured of season of cele- brity concerts unequalled for enjoyment, variety and value. LYRIC SOPRANO
 Lucine Amara, lyric soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Com pany, and a native of Hartford, Connecticut, will open the series in September; she comes before filling engagements to sing lead ing operatic roles in Italy, and early in November begins her season at our Metropolitan Op- era in New York.
 The year just past was one of triumph for this lovely young star. The New York Times called her the leading lyric in the Metropolitan's roster of so- pranos. Making her debut in 1948 with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, as soloist under Pierre Monteux, she then went on to the Metropolitan Op- era in 1850, being chosen to sing the role of "Nedda" in the Columbia release of "Pagliacci" presented on the stage of the gre at opera house. It is said, "Amara is possessed of charm which enhances her singing
