Make the last month, the best month of the year. v -0 -0 Although a companion met death when he tumbled down Mt. Shasta, Jon Linbergh, son of the famous flier, escaped injury in a mountain climbing feat over the weekend. The country breathes ,a sigh of relief in that the Lindberg son Wils spared the fate of his companion. The Lindbergs Ijave had enough sorrow in a lifetime. H British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill is said to be hale and hearty on his 79th birthday annive -sary today. As the represented re of Britain he will attend the 3ig Three conference which will be held in Bermuda. The world Is impressed with Sir] Winston’s ruggedness and an indomitable spirit, which carry him y through as a leader in world affairs. 0 0 The old saying of “going where fingejs fear ;o tread” might be applied to Democratic national chairman Stephen A. Mitchell, tfbo went to Vermont to make a major address. In the granite ribbed Reiublican state, Mr. Mitchell charged tWfe administration with a lack of leadership by turning affairs over to Sen. McCarthy. The upsets that copie in politics night be Vermont’s switch to the Democrat column is future elections, although thatreniote possibility wouldn't be en-. vjsaged even by a national chairman. ■ 4 1 S o 0 The Reppert School of Auctioneering is off to another successful start with an enrollment of 45 students in the 67th semi-annual session of' the famous sales school.

A Simple Heel Mysterious Ach By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. A SIMPLE heel lift, about a / half inch in size, may prove to be an almost miraculous cure ol hack, leg, and. foot pain of a dozen years standing. ■ Inequalities tn the length & the legs c m be a cause for severe low back pain, sciatic type path and pain in the knee, ankle, topi \ and heel. The pain is worse aftei sitting and upon arising in the morning. Small Discrepancy In many Instances, the discrepancy between the legs is verj small and may vary betweer three-eighths of an inch to om full inch. v Most ol the persons who suffei from this condition have no history of any polio, leg break, di other disease which might havi caused it. Occurs in Early Childhood It is beleved that the shortening arises in early childhood anc occurs equally in both sexes. I - has been found, however, tha the left lug Is more often shortei than thelright Incidence of thi left leg shortening Is almost sou: times as i great ns that of thi right. ,\ • The oily symptom found ft

The school will continue through a three-week semester, during which the auctioneers will receive expert and practical training in the art of selling and conducting sales. We extend a hearty welcome to the school’s staff and auctioneer students. I ■• V 0 0 On National Basis:— An issue popularly supposed to be national, but really local in some aspects is the St. Lawrence seaway. This situation is emphasized by the announcement of Sen. Thontas A. Burke, successor of Sen. Taft, that he favors the watefway. Generally speaking, great lakes states are for it, while those on the seaboard oppose. One set hop- , es to gain business, the* other fears to lose. Where railroad influence is strong, the waterway, which would compete, is weak. This combination of local interests has been strong enough to defeat the project again and again, despite the fact that every president from Harding through Truman has favored it. President EisenhoWer took no prominent stand until' recently when he declared himself in favor of it. Thej St. Lawrence power will be developed jointly by Canada and New York state, the federal government having no share in this project, which is separate from the seaway project, though closely connected with it in plan and action. It is natural for congress to consider primarily what the separate states want, paying little attention to the effect on the nation as a whole. Congressmen Ire elected by districts and only the president has a national constituI ■ . \ .. . ency. That is why, in many controversies between President and Congress, national thinking favors the president. ! o —0 !20 Years Ago , I Today 0 0 December 1— The Tri Kapp-i sorority buys a $25 bond to start the anti-tuberculosis campaign. a Wilbur-Cook. 14. suffered a broken hip and rights arm when ae jumps in front of a car driven by John Spahr. ’ Mrs. Verona Mary Miller, 83, died at the home of her daughter, , Mrs. Alva Nichols. ?

Usually a small, properly fitted lift, placed in the heel i- of the shoe, can equalize the two y legs and the symptoms, somen times of years and years durae tion, will disappear.

BYNm*!NB - Returning to his home' In Denfleld. Conn., after a long absence in Mexico. Philip Haven, a writer, finds his young niece. Libby, who also served as his secretary, missing from the house. Believing that sne may be visiting her cousin Kit in New York. Haven 'pnones the latter's apartment only to learn that Libby had not been there. Kit hastens by train to the Denfleld house where she and her Uncle Philip, and her Aunt Miriam, a neurotic, are tolned by Hugo Cavanaugh, an attractive young attorney who once had courted Kit. but who had switched h|a affections to Libby. Search of Libby's room reveals s note, urging her family not to worry, promising that they shall bear from her soon. An unfamiliar cigaret butt In the room might Indicate that Libby had had a male visitor. Kit's thoughts flv to classically handsome Tony Wilder whom Libby had met at a party in New York, how she’d seemed completely overwhelmed bv that god-iike young man's charm. The next day Kit returns to New York, hopeful of locating Libby, a trail which leads her nt last tn the abandoned apartment of Topv Wilder tn Greenwich Village. Here she Is startled to find Hugo Cavanaugh prowling through tlie rooms, “looking for clues.” he says. CHAPTER FIVE \ WILDER had left his apartment on Monday afternoon carrying a suitcase, and Libby left home Monday night. Hugo followed Kit’s tram of thought, took it further. “Did Mr. Wilder own a car?” he asked. » \ Hilda said that Mr. Wilder didn’t own a car. but he had the use of one sometimes. It was a yellow convertible with a black top, a big thing. Sne didn't know the make or the license* number, she di d know it wasn’t Mr. Wilder’s because there was a monogram on the door with initials that weren't his. and, a couple of times a woman drovp up in IL "Between us.” Hilda said. “I think Mr. owed a lot of money. 1 don t think he was pff just tor fun. 1 think maybe he was on the run. He told me to say if anyone came asking for him that 1 didn’t know where he was or when he left.” “And did someone come—besides us?” Hugo asked. Hilda said yes. A man namied Clarkson had come that afternoon, late, and again the next day. He was a stout, red-taced man. “He wanted me to let him in, said he’d be getting a warrant anyway to take possession and I could save everybody trouble. But I didn’t." Kit said shortly: ’Tm going, Hugo,” and walked away. Hugo caught up with her in the vestibule. Outside, rain was falling heavily. There was no cab in sight. Hugo said: “I’m afraid you'll get wet,” and she said: “It doesn’t matter," and they started for the Avenue. r. At a drug store, Kit got extra change from Hugo, went into a booth, dialled operator, and got Philip. He had heard nothing. "Anything?” Hugo asked when she came out. She shook her head and said: "Eleanor Oaks may know something. She may have some information about Wilder's background, his people, where he would be likely to go." “Okay, we can toy it," Hugo hailed a cab at the corner, got tn with her and gave the driver Eleanor Oaks' address. Kit opened her bag, took two 65 bills from her Copyright. 13u2, Ujj. by Helen Reilly, t

Should the bride who is being married in a suit or traveling costume carry a bouquet of flowers? A. More appropriate would be a corsage of rtrehids, gardenias, or any flower that quits her fancy. Electric mowers should be run back and forth in straight lines, a farm electric specialist at the University of Illinois says, always working away Dorn the electric outlet so the cord won’t be run over and cut. i, * Trade in a uooa town — Decatur » \

Wallet and extended the money. Hugo said pleasantly: "What's that for?” “It’s what you gave the superintendent and the cleaning woman. Here, and thanks." He waved the bills away. She Insisted stonily. “This is our affair, Philip's and mine.** She wanted to add: “Libby has gone from you, you no longer have any rights in her, she’s in love with another man, is probably- married to him now.” . Hugo gave her an odd glance. He took the bills, and said: “You still owe me 85 cents for the phone, but I’ll send in an expense account.*’ Kit felt ashamed. Alter all, he loved Libby, and you didn't get over loving a person in an hour, a day/ He must be suffering, too. She began hurriedly to talk about Eleanor Oaks. 'lf only we knew what direction Wilder and Libby took when they left Denfield, if we could trace the car—” “1 don't think that’s going to be necessary, i really don’t. You'll hear soon.” Hugo was calm, friendly. His steadiness steadied her. She must get rid of her anger, her antagonism, must learn to think of him as a friend of -the family, and not as a man who had turned her down for her cousin. Why go on laboring it—the whole episode was dead. It was just that she was on edge, and she had had very little sleep. Hugo said that from her description, Eleanor Oaks seemed like a late riser. "Maybe she’s not up yet." Eleanor Oaks’ apartment overlooking Park Avenue was 16 stories in the air. The rugs and upholstery, the drapery and furniture, shared Miss Oaks* own ap-i pearance of having been expensive and slowly succumbing to time and wear. She was a tall woman, handsome in a hard, horsy fashion. She answered the bell nerself. It was a morning for women clutching wrappers. Eleanor Oaks’ was gold-colored velvet with ermine lapels. She weighed Hugo tn a split second, found him not wanting, and favored Kit with a neutral and disinterested stare. “Come in,” she said. Tomato juice and a pot of coffee were on a round table in front of the Manhattan skyline. Miss Oaks motioned them to a pink velvet sofa heaped with gold and silver cushions. “Sit down. Coffee?” Her voice was much better tempered, than it had been on the telephone earlier. Her eyes went over Hugo again, over ma face, the width of his shoulders, his pleasingly shaped hands lighting a cigaret for her. They accepted the coffee. Deprived of the direct means of disposing of a possible rival, Miss Oaks ignored Kit completely and concentrated on The Man. Dye and make-up worked together, probably with the assistance of steam baths and grim dieting and hearty Swedish pounding and slapping, to put • veil ovdr the natt*eeiftury or so she had been living. Fatigue peered through at the beholder in the texture of her voice and the slump of flesh under her eyes and below her pointed chin. 1 arrangement with RANDOM HOUSE. X

House Inquiry Is On In California Today Stormy Inquiry Is Forecast In West SAN FRANCISCO UP — The house un-American activities committee today began what promises to be a stormy 11-day inquiry ii. the strategic bay area and Northern California. , , In the face of criticism from six Organizations and the antagonism of some witnesses, one committee member gave bls assurance the congressional body had no wish to Impose “thought control.” The committee called the firyt hearing for 1 p.m. EST at the Sa? Francisco] supervisors* chambers at city hall, with a capacity crowd of more than 300 persons expected. The inquiry, led by committee Chairman Rep. Harold H. Velde Rdll., touches upon vital defense work, espionage and the maritime industry and was an attempt o learn whether known Communists hold positions of leadership in community affairs. : Although more than 100 persons have been subpenaed to appear at the inquiry, it was uncertain whether all would honor the subpenas. Attorneys for some inform ed the committee their clients were too *ilV* to appear. Others Were reported ready to defy the committee. \ ' 'Presence of the Velde committee in San Francisco has provoked heated protest £nd some attempts at interference on both sides of the bay. \ ! Aware of thia Rep. Clyde Doyle DrCalif. said “the committee n interested only in obtaining facts and not in punishing people.’ •Doyle sits with Velde and Reps Donald L. Jackson R-Calif. and Gordon H. Scherer D-Ohio as the committee here.

Hugo apologized for their inlrui Sion. “Awfully sorry to break ir Without notice, but we’re on taa - Aunt for a friend of ours, and it . we can get nold of Wilder— ’* “Oh, you know Tony? A won : derful boy." , ; “Not well, as a matter of fan, > but—" , ; “Well, neither do 1, not really i Intimately." r ( “Does anyone? But from the i way he ape aks of you, Miss Oaks—” "Darling, whoever you are, I’d i be glad to co-operate.” ! Hugo’s skilful and delicate ad- : vance was taking too much time. Kit’s patience snapped. She broke ! the conversation in two. She said: t "Actually, Miss Oaks, we’re more i than interested tn Mr. Wilder. We think my cousin has eloped with t him." - , Her voice was high. Eleanor 1 Oaks upset the coffee pot all over > the -golden velvet of tier robe, •wore, and began mopping. “Waft s a minute; I’D have to take this 1 thing oft. It’s ruined. I’U be back." ’ Walking out of the room, she left 5 the door partly open behind her. Hugo didn’t look at Kit and he c didn’t say anything. His silence « *ud a lot. r t Eleanor Oaks made a lightning 1 change, came back in crimson bro--5 cade. "Now, where were we?” The 1 telephone hardness had returned. ; Her mouth was bitter. "Tony’s eloped with a cousin? How ro- * tnantic! But 1 don’t see how I can 1 Ifelp. I wish 1 could tell you more, ’ but all I know is that he lives somewhere m the Village." She was talking at rather than 5 to them, was looking past them. 1 She said: “Oh, there you are. * sweetie,” to someone bpyond the ' couch. “These people are making ; inquiries about Tony Wilder.” \ i A man who had come tnto the ■ room strolled forward. The bell hadn’t rung and either he had been • very silent with the door or ne 1 was elsewhere in the apartment. He was youngish, anywhere from ■ 30 to 40, tall and whipcord taut. 1 His face was that of an ascetic, * flesh closely welded to the bones, 1 deep eye sockets, hollow temples. but be didn’t look tike an ascetic. His skin was pallid, as though he 5 lived under artificial light, and his f eyes were bits of glossy gray ’ stone. Yellow hair was brushed t smoothly over a long head. r / Unidentified to them other than r as “sweetie," the man studied Kit 1 and Hugo, hands in his pockets. ! •‘Wilder?” The softness of his > voice was a shock; you expected it t to come out edged. "Who is Wilder, 1 Eleanor?*’ . ' “Oh, just a handsome boy seems to have run off with thia—t With Miss Haven’s cousin, ar.u s they’re worried." I Too bad,” the man said In I bored tone. “May I have some co.- • tee?” I i “Os course, sweetie.” ’ Eleanor Oaks poured coffee and > rose dismissingly, coldly forme 1. • “I’m sorry, \Mr. Cavanaugh. tfe-t s Os luck." Her eyes went over Kit i from head to foot. “Is this youn” > woman your cousin." I “No," Hugo said, "and thanks.” (To Bo Continued) Distributed by Ksuc Feature* oUtate.

The design this year is printed in four color offset process, showing a small caroler wearing a green stocking cap and muffler, red mittens in the corner of the stamp and the double-barred cross in red. Christmas 1953 in gilt letters. Two Chicago men, Elmer Jacobs and E. Willis Jones, collaborated in designing the seal. Jones, a well known commercial designer, is credited with the idea of the design which was delineated by Jacobs, an established advertising ar< tist and book illustrator. The seals are printed by five lithographers, so collectors will need five “key seals” to make a complete set. The key seal is the 56th Seal of the sheet, our seals carry t the letter »S” for the Strobridge Lithographing Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio. Denmark is celebrating its 50th year of Christmas seals.
