There’s so much in our lovely land To thank God for in prayer. The meadows . . . lovely with the bloom Of thistledown’s soft glow I gaze each day at all of this And this I fully know That God is very good to us And we feel when pressed with care The never ceasing restfulness Of faith in God and prayer. Yes ... in our war tom thoughts Came Peace which lessened care, We learned to lay our burdens on Our God in humble prayer! Anna E. Young

Drive Carefully, Caution Children Against Playing In Streets, Other Dangers VACATION TIME CAN BE A HAPPY TIME. FREE FROM TRAGIC ACCIDENTS. IF THE RULES OF SAFETY AND CAUTION ARE FOLLOWED BY BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS THIS SUMMER

Now that the annual school vacation has begun, motorists are warned to drive more carefully than ever to avoid injuring a child who might run into the path of the car. Our city has provided excellent supervised playgrounds for the children and young people of this community, with ample facilities for group or individual play. There is no need, ever, for any child to play in the streets in our community, and it is the responsibility of every parent to see to it that his or her children do not use the streets as playgrounds. Safety education is now a definite part of the school curriculum, from kindergarten through high school. Safety rules are simple and easy to learn. They are especially easy to follow in a community such as ours, where children are given every possible advantage of supervised play. If safety and caution and good common sense are used by young and old, this can be a happy summer for all. Just a few of the groups with organized summer programs are: City Parks, Y.M. and Y.W.C.A.’s, Camp Fire Girls, Girl and Boy

Awards Given To Telephone Employees “Telephone employees who braved blizzard and fire last year to help others in distress have been named to receive the industry’s famous Vail silver medal and SSOO in cash each for ‘courage and devotion to duty’,” the American Telephone and Telegraph Company announced today. The Vail awards are made from a fund established in 1920 as a memorial to Theodore N. Vail, former A. T. &T. president, to perpetuate his ideals of public service. The Bell System national committee of award recognized the outstanding “spirit of service” of three plant department men of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company. It also granted an award to an operating agent of the United Telephone Company of Pennsylvania, a nonBell company. The three Mountain States telephone workers are William B. Edmunds, cable splicer, Keith F. Hough, combinationman, and William L. Payne, combinationman. All are from Cheyenne, Wyoming. Mrs. Helen Doris Turner, of Hyndman, Pennsylvania, is the operator.

Edmunds, Hough, and Payne comprised a “snow buggy” team which in January, 1949, rescued many people stranded in Wyoming’s worst blizzard on record. The “snow buggy” is a telephone repair vehicle equipped with endless tractor treads enabling it to travel over deep snow. Although in constant danger of getting lost and freezing to death themselves, the men worked throughout the howling, three-day storm to aid those in desperate circumstances. Among those rescued were three expectant mothers, six persons stranded in automobiles, and three persons seriously sick or injured. Mrs. Turner stuck by her switchboard during the disastrous fire which on Christmas of last year gutted the heart of Hyndman, killing two and injuring several. Operating her switchboard by flashlight, and later by the glow of approaching flames, Mrs. Turner remained at her post despite fire fighters’ warnings of danger.

She summoned fire departments, ambulances, and doctors from nearby communities. AU alone, she handled the urgent telephone calls necessary for evacuation and rescue operations. With the fire checked in her direction after destroying the building next door, she remained on duty 22 hours while the fire raged elsewhere in town. In making its selections, the national committee considered 24 noteworthy acts performed by telephone people in 1949 and early 1950. In the 30 years since the Vail Memorial Fund was established 1,382 awards have been given to telephone men and women for unusual acts and services in emergencies.

XT4O Turbo-Prop Engine Powered by the new Allison XT4O turbo-prop engine, the Douglas A2D Shyshark is ther step in this country’s bid for world-wide supremacy in turbinepowered aircraft. Developed under the ship of the U. S. Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, the Allison T4O tur-bo-prop engine produces for the Skyshark more power than the four engines in many bombers of World War 11. At the same time it maintains an economy of fuel consumption which permits a wide range of operation for the airplane. Similar to the T4O which recently powered the Consolidation XPSY on its maiden flight, this engine consists of two identical power sections connected to a reduction gear by extehsion shafting. Shaft length on this T4O, however, is considerably shorter and there is an inter-connecting structure between power sections and reduction gear. Thus the engine and reduction gear is mounted in the airplane as a unit. The T4O is rated at 5500 horsepower for take-off. Also, either power section may be operated independent of the other and for cruising one unit may be cut out for the most economical use of fuel. Weight of the engine with extension shafting and reduction gear is less than 2500 pounds. .Silence is a friend who never betrays.—Confucius.

“STATIC” by LAWRENCE WITTE

Money won on “Strike It Rich,” the CBS “program with a heart,” is only a part of what needy applicants receive. Almost invariably after some worthy person has appeared on the show, listeners send in additional but unsolicited aid. For example, when two girls from a Philadelphia orphanage won money with which they wished to buy a bicycle for their cottage group of nine, a dealer telephoned that he was sending them two new bikes, free! Then there was the woman who wanted money to pay passage for a visit to her ill daughter in France. She won the money bat didn’t need to buy a ticket. An Englishwoman, visiting in America, immediately donated her return plane ticket. “I can go back any time,” she said.

That Bill Monroe, radio and recording star will be the guest vocalist on NBC’s “Grand Ole Opry” on Saturday, June 17. He’s been a yodeler and singer since the age of four, and is also a successful composer of waltz compositions about his native state, Kentucky. . . . That CBS newscaster Lowell Thomas may visit South America during his program’s hiatus this July. . . . That some years ago (he won’t say how many) Melville Burke, co-director of the CBS-TV series “Man Against Crime,” directed the stock theatre at Northampton, Mass. Leading man was the late Frank Morgan, and in juvenile roles he had Sidney Blackmer, now winning acclaim in the Broadway hit, “Come Back, Little Sheba.”

That’s all for now! • • • “Good night, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are.” This remark by Jimmy Durante at the close of his NBC comedy broadcast each; Friday night has elicited a question from radio listeners throughout the country. “Who is Mrs. Calabash?” Research reveals that The Schnozzola has never given a definite answer. It is assumed by those close to him that she is a fictitious character, just like his famous Umbriago. When anyone asks Durante he says, “He who pokes his nose into Durante’s business is heading for competition.”

One report says Mrs. Calabash is a figment of Durante’s imagination. He signs off with that so that folks will ask questions and remember him. Another says Jimmy identified Mrs. Calabash as a school-days sweetheart whom he had not seen or heard from for many years. Still another version of the Mrs. Calabash story is that about ten years ago when Durante was in Chicago between trains, he ran into Mrs. Calabash, who had been a school friend in New York. About four years ago he just thought he’d get a kick out of it and he just mentioned her name on the air. He said “Good night, Mrs. Calabash.” Following the mention he received letters from all the wrong Mrs. Calabashes but he’s never heard from the right one. So he added “Wherever you are,” because he doesn’t know where she is. Does anyone have any additional versions?
