am glad to leave Africai is to get
away from those_ Arabs.
Warren I have certainly been

battles and never got a single

tinue to be lucky. There is noth-

offers these safety rules to keep
in mind1:
Never decorate your Otristmas

If you give the childreivelectric
toys for- Christmas, inspee%.theni
to see that the cords and connec-
tions are kept in good pondition.
Finally, Mrs. Claytor says, mix
common sense precautions with
>pur Christmas cheer, and keep
the holidays safe.

eliminating fire hazards around

that the -$2.64 cut in each grant,
whach h&S been in effect for sev-
eral months because of in^uf/t-
cient money, will be reduced to
$2.44 this month when $3,781,489.-

persons in an average payment of
$20.95. The rolls made a net de-
cline of 1,332 cases between No-
vember and December payments,

ment c'onditions and to a general
increase in resources of recipients,
the director said. 1
"Four 'thousand six hundred
eighty-one blind persons will be
paid $114,942 in December in an
average grant of $24.56, This is

picture in particular "stands out"
in the'eyes of the movie-going
public. The same being, "The
Desperadoes", showing on Wed-
nesday and*|Ehursday, December
22nd and 23rd which is a top notch
western and filmed in glorious
technicolor. ..M_
The setting of "The Despera-
does" is centered around Kanab,
Uteh and if ever a picture was
overwhelmed by its setting, this
.pne undoubtedly1 is it.
Characters, include: „ Randolph
