Smith gal would prove her virtu
osity which folks who didn't see
her in George W.hite's "Flying
High" and "Honeymoon Lane"
aren't aware of. I think some smart
writing fellow would find himself
a fortune if he were to fashion
something for Miss S.
He'd have a lot to start with.
Kate's audience was estimated at
one point, perhaps a little over
optimistically, as 75,000,000 per
sons. A closer count, taking an
average, would be 20.000,000 listen
ers: approximately 6,000,000 who
hark to her daytime commentating,
the remainder to her Sunday night
show.
While no exact statistics are
available, it is a known fact that
Kate has been the top distaff
earner in her field, with records
and public appearances adding to
her radio pay, although her public
showings during the last few years
have eschewed play-for-pay while
she concentrated on dates at Army
camps, Naval stations, hospitals,
canteens, etc. Her potency as a
radio favorite was graphically de
termined when she appealed to all
the Smiths among her listeners to
go to blood banks and give a pint.
She thereby sent 25,000 owners of
that traditionally popular name to
their local Red Cross centers.
MAYOR FIRST VIOLATOR
PARSONS, W. Va. At the in
stallation of the city's new park
ing meters, Mayor Carmen DiBac
co warned motorists that they must
adhere strictly to the rules. That
was three weeks ago. The first
violation ticket turned over to
City Clerk Grant Smith was
sheepishly brought in by no other
than His Honor, the Mayor, who
forked over the $1 fine.

Mother Gi Christmas
Stamp
165 Millions
By ADELAIDE KERB I
AP Newsfealures Writer
"Help us. Emily!" pleaded mints j
Dr. Josepn Wales on a b'oak after
noon a few months before v hi 1st-
mas. 1907. 'Otherwise we'll haw
to turn out those poor sufferers to
die "
For the last hour, he and his
cousin, Emily Bissell, Wilmington.
Del., social worker, had been re
viewing the dogged daring i xpcri j
mint of a group of Wilmington
doctors who sought to cure tuber- j
culo.sis, the No. 1 killer of l ho
times In an age when people be- I
victims to certain death, they had
assembled eight charity patients
in a little shack on the banks ol
the Brandy wine for which thev
paid Alfred DuPonl a dollar-aycar
rent, and were trying the effects
of fresh air, rest and the right food.
The patients were making prog
ress, but the funds had run out. So
Dr. Wales appealed to his cousin
for help.
That's how the Christmas tu
berculosis stamp was born.
Most people would hae quailed
and quit before the problem. What
Emily Bissell did started a ball
rolling that has amassed in 3!)
years SKia.OOO.OOO which has been
used to battle the disease back to
seventh place among the killers
Today both the annual stamp sale
and the battle are conducted by
the National Tuberculosis sso
ciaiion. This year the light is being
waged with renewed igor be
cause tuberculosis is still the big
gest killer of young people from
15 to 35. who are working to
acquire an education, start a ca
reer and build a home.
Only $300 were needed to carry
on that early battle on the banks
of the Brandywine. but Emily Bis
sell racked her brain for da s be
fore she found an answer.
"Then I remembered a story by
Jacob Kiis of a Christinas stamp
that originated in Denmark," she
recalled recently. "It was sold to
raise money for a sanitarium (or
tubercular children. I thouulil,
'Why not set out a stamp to raise
money for the shack?' "
So she began. She waded
through a forest of disconraRe
ment. Many considered fresh air a
threat in those clays of closed
looms. Others were horrified at the
idea of coupling "Merry Christinas"
with the most effective killer of the
times. Still others said a penny
stamp could never raise enough to
make a difference.
But Emily Bissell continued to
blaze her trail and people began
lo help her. She drafted the crim
son and white design for the lirst
::lamp a wreath around the
words "Merry Christmas" and an
artist whipped it into shape Two
women friends Rave ten 'dollars
apiece to help. A printer did the
work and agreed to take his pay
when it came. The Wilmington
postmaster permitted stamps to be
sold in the post-ollicc lobby.
Sales were fairly slow at first,
but Emily Bissell gave them a push
by taking her story to a Philadel
phia newspaper. It did a series of
stories. The stamps began to sell
like hot cakes. At the end of the
season they had brought $3 00(1
ten times the goal. Last year thev
raised $15,500,000. The funds are
used to educate the public, oper
ate clinics and nursing services.

U. S. Is In Grip
Of "Dictatorship"
Says Moscow
LONDON (API Moscow radio
said Tuesday that the United
Stales was in the grip of a "dicta
torship" and always had been.
"A two-party system which
stands on guard for the main
tenance of the capitalist system and
ill its bourgeois institutions has
existed in the U. S. throughout its
liislors ," the radio said.
"These paries have a powerful
political apparatus which possesses
enormous funds for the waging of
an electoral campaign and which
has almost unlimited power."
The rad'o said progressive ele
ments in the United States are to
day "consolidating their forces"
and added:
". . . A fierce political struggle
lies ahead, in the near future."
V. S. voters actually didn't swing
away from the left in the Novem
ber balloting, as bad been reported,
the broadcast said, explaining:
"The victory or the Republicans
became possible not because the
American people1 have gone right
but because the ruling Democratic
circles have gone right, and conse
quently proved unable to express
the interests of the majority of
the American people."

Cold Weather Is Time For Farmer
To Write His Farm Plan For 1947
A written farm plan for 1947,
outlining cropping and livestock
features, fertilizer and seed ex
penses, marketing problems, and
the like, should be made during
the coming weeks, says C. B.
Ratchford of Stale College, farm
management specialist.
He point out that many farmers
often have serious trouble because
they do not plan ahead". A common
example of this is inability to get
the right kind of fertilizer for a
particular crop when it is needed.
because of a delay in ordering the
fertilizer. Another freauent urob-
lem is that of a glutted market and
low prices, because the outlook
for the particular crop was not
carefuly considered at the begin
ning of the year.
Since guidance in farm planning
is needed, the Farm Management
Department at State College has
prepared a special planning form
which may be used for the entire
year. A free copy may be obtained
from the county agent or by writ
ing the Department at Ralei h.
This form booklet provides a
convenient method for making a
written plan "If the farm plan is
not profitable on paper, there is
little hope that it will actually fool
the farmer and be profitable at
harvest time," Ratchford says. "If
the farmer is anticipating a change
in his farming plan, it is impera
tive that he carry through and
complete expected receipts and ex-

CAT STOPS WORK
KEWAVEE. ni A venturesome
tomcat caused a work stoppage at
two of Kewanee's largest industries
recently. The cat walked across
power lines and short-circuited
transformers, cutting off electric
power for five hours. All of the
cat's nine lives were snuffed out at
once.
There were seven famines per
centufy in England between 1200
and 1000.
