WIFE OF GEN. TRAPNELL RESCUED FROM OCEAN

SAN FRANCISCO, LR - Mrs. Alys s. Trapnell, 46 identified by the Army as the wife of Brig. Gen. Thomas J. H. Trapnell, was res cued from the Pacific Ocean here Monday night.
 Patrolman Paul McGoran said it was a suicide attempt, but the woman's mother, Mrs. Hulda N. Snow, discounted that possibility, saying: II think she must have tainted on the beach. She often goes for walks there"
 Mrs. Snow added that Mrs. Trapnell, who returned only two months ago from Indo China, where Trapnell is stationed, was depressed because the general must remain overseas another year"

Early Valentines Were Handmade Until 1900

Our modern Valentines have a
centuries-old history as fascinating
and sentimental as Dan Cupid him
self.
They are the romantic heritage
of more than 500 years of expert
mentation by anxious sweethearts
and imaginative publishing firms.
In style, purpose and price, how
ever, Valentines have changed from
generation to generation. Silhou-
cited against the background of
time, these developments reveal
how the Valentine custom has
steadily increased in popularity.
The original Valentines, fact
almost forgotten today, were strict
ly tokens of friendship-for over
1000 years! They were sent to
commemorate the kindly spirit of
st. Valentine, young Roman priest
executed February IA, 270 AID, for
refusing to renounce Christianity.
Medieval sweethearts began ex-
changing rom an lie Valentines
around 1400. These early creations
were designed with quill pen, paste
pot and great expectations.
Cupid's more talented victims
peppered their Valentines with
amorous scenes neatly drawn in
black and white. Later they were
made by folding paper and cutting
il into very intricate and lacy pat
terms, which were carefully hand
colored.
By the 18th century, the Valen-
tine custom had spread throughout
Europe. The style shifted to ella
borate ornamentation. Rich noble
men bedecked their Valentines with
expensive jewels, and hired ghost
writers to pen impassioned rhymes.
In lower income brackets, the
love-plagued spent weary hours de-
corating Valentines with turtle
doves, pressed flowers, silk ribbons
and cut-out hearts. England SOL
we'd verse-writing problems for n
sixpence by publishing the first

valentine Writer" in 1910.
Similar pamphlets with tailor
made verses, and tips on how-to-
build-a-better Valentine, were po-
pular until the early 1905. Mean
while, new graphic arts processes
had been developed, such as color
engraving, TYPOGRAPHY and aquat-
int.
AS the 10Th century began, Eng
lish publishers were already sell
ing elegantly printed Valentines.
The competition among professional
designers was keen, and clever in
novations quickly followed.
One unusual Valentine pictured a
gaily-colored floral bouquet that
opened, like an accordion, into what
resembled Flower cage" or
Spider web" Inside this screen a
tiny cupid and verse appeared.
Mechanical Valentines" were
introduced in the 184O's. They fea-
tured movable figures, easily ami
mated by a cardboard tongue. Some
would picture tiny cottage or vii
lage church, with sides that opened
to reveal a happy domestic scene
or wedding ceremony.
This was the so-called "Golden
Age of Valentines" In frills and
fuss, the Valentines of this period,
$4,000, reached peak of perfec-
ton and beauty that has only been
equalled in recent years.
Victorian England exported great
quantities of Valentines to Amer

lea; for here, too, they had been
handmade since Revolutionary War
days. Envelopes were added for
the first time, and when a low-cost
postal service began Valentines
became more popular than ever.
American publishers began SELL
ing their own Valentines in 1910.
By 1857 over three million Valen-
tines were sold in the United States,
retailing from three cents to thirty
dollars apiece.
AS the century wore on, humor-
Gus Valentines became fashionable.
They still are. The 1853 Valentines
are evenly divided between the
whimsical type and those created
in the lace-and-r ribbon tradition.

CONQUERING THE FLU

The Executive Board of the United Nations World Health Organization recently announced that medical science is about to conquer influenza The board be- eves the year 1854 will announcements of great significance in this direction
 The major hope seems to be based on series of vaccnes, each designed to combat specific type of the disease The complication is that there so many variations of influenza that the suitable vaccine is some what difficult to determine.
 The recent epidemic for example, was termed the A-Prime virus influenza Once it Identified vac cine prepared and used with some success in the fight against the threatened epidemic
 There are three main types of influenza, termed A, B. and types If the type can be recognized early enough, proper Vaccnes can be made in time and an epidemic avoided The Executive Board of the U. N Health Organization believes that by 1954 sufficient research will have been done enable quick denfca- tion and distribution of suitable vaccines bat influenza epidemics This should be excellent news to all those who have sampled the latest flu epidemic

Sen. Magnuson Calls
 For Better Highway Linking Alaska to US.

SEATTLE, R-The Post-Intel- ligencer said today Sen Warren c. Magnuson D-Wash) has called for railway or another highway to Alaska over which military equipment and endorsements could be moved, if needed in an emergency.
 He described the present grav- elled Alaska Highway, the dis patch said, as of doubtful military value because of its length and restrictions on the weight of ve- hicle which can use it, compared with some type of army vehicles such as tanks.
 The paper said Magnuson plan ned to introduce a resolution to- day to establish an Alaska inter national rail and highway com mission to study CD construction of railroad connection with the United States and @ Building a direct, much shorter highway linking Alaska with the Pacific Coast states.
 Commenting on what might happen in the event of hostil- ities," Magnuson said further, in support of his proposal:
 Some 50 ships would be re- quired to transport supplies and equipment, and many more if tanks, half tracks and heavy field guns were to be moved
 Alaska does not have the port and dock facilities that would be required for such a fleet of mer- chant vessels"

Eisenhower
 Not Considering Naval Blockade Of Red China
Eisenhower

WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower said Tuesday he per Sonally is not considering a naval blockade or an embargo against Red China but he supposes such steps are being looked into by several government departments.
 Meeting with newsmen for the first time since he took office, Eisenhower said also:
 l. Any tax cuts this year would probably mean higher taxes in years to come, and should be held up until balanced budget is in sight.
 2. He will ask Congress for new authority to deal with prices if there is price gouging or other unreasonable action by business freed of federal controls.
 3. He wants Congress to nulify any parts of secret agreements which have permitted enslave- ment of free peoples. But he doesn't feel there should be any repudiation of long-secret agree mentS such as the Yalta pact as a whole.
 4. United Nations forces can't be pulled out of Korea com pletely so long as a dangerous situation exists there, but South Koreans should replace other LIN. troops in the fighting to the greatest possible extent.
 Addressing 256 correspondents, mostly on topics he selected him. self, the new Republican Presi- dent also cracked back at the ex- pressed misgivings of Adlai E. Stevenson that his "business ad- ministration" might become a "big deaP' administration.
 Eisenhower told questioner he has lived with all Americans, including fighting men, and can't conceive of anyone's thinking he is not concerned with the welfare of all 150 million Americans. He said he chose his cabinet mem bers without regard to their busi- ness connections but soley be- cause he was sure they could supply badly needed businesslike administration
 The President reaffirmed, in even stronger terms than he has used before, that he is absolutely convinced Russia has atomic wea- pons. Ex-President Truman has expressed doubt whether the So- viets have a workable atomic bomb.
 Eisenhower began the confer ence by saying he wanted to talk about four things-farm prices, secret agreements, controls and taxes. He added that he'd enter tain questions later if there was time. The half-hour he allotted left time for quite a few.
