Ira Schafer of this city, today paid a total fine of 115 in city court when he pleaded guilty to a charge of public intoxication . . . and at the same time set himself up as one of the most accomodating prisoners in the -ounty jail. For Schafer was arrested Satur day by sheriff Bob Shraluka ... at the county jail. In court today. Schafer, didn’t offer any explanation for appearing at the Jail in an inebriated con-, dition. He didn't say whether it was a social call, whether he was lost, oi whether he just missed the old place. . Schafer had been released a week previously after serving-J 5 days for failure to pay a fine for a similar offense. The Adams county Jail, in all io spectloa reports tendered by state officials, receives a favorably high rating. Still, therfc is nothing abou' thi> cell block which induces home sickness, as far as local authorities can ascertain. ) et. there might be a strong at traction for the place by alumni who wish to return and reminisce; to sing old songs (starting off. of course, with "if I had-**the wings of an angel”); ft is Impossible to esti mate how sturdily old school tier can be knotted. • ’ ' So Schafer appeared before Mayor Doan in court today, and pleaded guilty to the charge of pub lie intoxication. He said he wouldn’t return to the jail again—unless, naturally, it is definitely a social visit.

'Christmas Gi/f By Plant Workers To Korea Amputee Phoenixville, Pa., July 30—(UP) Whenever Pfc. Hubert E. Reeves looked at the “Christmas gift” he got from the boys at the Fisher body works in Flint, Mich., he couldn't help smilirigj \ It was a lumpy, gray object, somewhat in the shape of aChristmas tree, and it stood on a table near Reeves’ bed in the Valley Forge army hospital. It vyas much appreciated by the 19-year-old ; ampuj.ee from Joliet, LIL, eveg though he couldn’t at first, figure it out. Ambrose (Curly) Vaverek, of Flint, Mich., who had motored here with the “Christmas gift’’ yesterday, explained what it was. Vaverek, a navy veteran, was counting pennies one day last Januaiy in his tavern just across the street from the Fisher body works. He dropped the counted coqisa large ash tray holdinS \j|| irnln K candle, which Vaverek he kept at the bar “for a A W| ,omer tossed a quarter in “Why dpn’t you leave the pennies there. Curly, and -We can make a collection for some guy back from Korea,” the customer said. The bar was crowded at the time wfth workers from the Fisher plant and all were for ' the idea. j \ “That’s how your Christmas gift got started,” Vaverek told Reeves.

The workerk from the Fisher plant kept tossing coins in the tray and the wax from the burning candle would fall over them. Six months and |2B worth of candles later, the “thing" weighed 46 pounds and Vaverek decided be better not wait until Christmas. He estimated there was |7OO in the wax mold. t "You thank the boys at Fisher’s for me," Reeves told the tavefri owner. “Tell them it’s the best Christinas present I ever got." Before starting back for Flint, Vaverek said he Wuld start another wax and coin” collection at his bar. “This one should be ready by Christmas," he said. The U.S. government issued its first stamp in 1847.
