Decides After 26 Years That It May Be Winter Air He Needs

WATERTOWN, Wis, Nov. 25 (U. P.).—Arthur (Turkey) Gehrke, 56, who has dodged winter for 26 years by staying in bed from fall until spring, decided today to switch his hibernation season from winter | to summer.

He had change for six months. He had avoided the| cold because he believed it was the lcause of stomach pains which he has suffered during winter months| since he was a young man, 2 “pm feeling like a peacock now,”

been considering .the®

he said. “I ‘hibernated’ for a week or 10 days at various times last summer as a test and it worked out all right.” In previous years he turned over his tavern to assistants and retired at the conclusion of the big league

baseball season. He would get up

only on Thanksgiving to eat turkey —origin of his nickname. He said he had reduced his weight from 215 to 175 pounds by taking brisk morning walks and eating only one meal a day with very little meat. ”

“Then, too,” he said, “I've renewed my interest in howling. I gave it up when I started hibernating’ and became interested again last summer when I tried it out and toppled 143 pins in the first crack.” He appeared unconcerned when told the weather man had predicted that the temperature would drop to 20 degrees above zero tonight. “I feel up to it,” he said.

Postmaster Gives Early Hints ‘On Proper Christmas Mailing

With one holiday over and the biggest of them all approaching,

Postmaster Adolph Seidensticker today warned against fa

land addressing of Christmas mail.

More than 31,000 Christmas cards®—

were lost in Indianapolis last year|impossible any return or lengthy investigation as to where they are supposed to go, Mr. Seidensticker

because of incomplete or faulty addresses, he said. To insure the delivery of out-of-towh Christmas cards, place a three-cent stamp on the envelope, he instructed. Many cards are sent with one and a half cent stamps, which place them in the third class and make

ulty wrapping

said. Packages

Rua

should be wrapped securely and a return address should be placed on the outside. Last but not least, he said, mail early to insure prompt delivery.
