Taylor Hoskins as the new superintendent of the National Park. Hoskins was named to succeed Blair R. Ross as the top Smoky Mountain Park official. Until his recent appointment. Hoskins had been serving super in'tndcnt of Mammoth Cave Na tional Park of Kentucky for the last 11 .sears. Ross, who has served as Great Smoky Mountains Park superin tendent since 1945, is scheduled to retire effective New Year's Eve. A native of Novelty, Missouri, he is expected to make his home in Jackson, Tenn. lie recently was on sick leave. Hoskins is scheduled to assume his new duties officially about the middle of January or sooner, if a successor can be found before that date for the post he is vacating. Hoskins, a veteran of the Na tional Park Service since April 1, 1931. started his government career as a ranger of the Colonial Nation al Historical Park, then advanced to the post of assistant ranger four years later. A year afterward, he was trans ferred to the Shenandoah Nation al Park of Virginia, and, four months later, was promoted to chief ranger. He was transferred to Mammoth Cave Park in 1938 when it was be ing developed into a national pre serve, ana since tnen nas Deen praised for outstanding service in promoting friendly relations with the Park and the neighboring areas.

News of the change in the Na tional Park supcrintendency was revealed by Elbert Cox, associate regional director of the National Park Service with headquarters at Richmond. MORE ABOUT Business (Continued irom rage D around to their Christmas shop ping," the merchants said, in ef fect, "they have a smaller variety of gifts from which to choose." The early birds, on the other hand, they pointed out, get the best choices. However, many of them have to pass up the opportunity presented by early shopping because they de pend to a large extent on Christ mas bonus payments from their employers. Again highest in popularity among the Christmas gifts, sales indicated, were toys of all descrip tions and women's nylons. And among the most popular items in toys are the large life- size dolls with almost life-like skin and dressed in clothing roomy enough for a small child to wear. One local store reported the de mand for its dolls, ranging from 27 inches down, had been so great the stock was sold out by Monday. Generally, the department stores were doing the biggest early-season business, though the specialty places also reported volume was high. j- The women have been doing fne most early-season shopping, and the men as usual, as one sales girl put it are expected to turn out in their greatest numbers at the last minute. HORSE STONES PARSON SPARTA, 111. (UP) The Rev B. E. Green has been hobbling around on crutches, claiming that a horse threw a rock at him. The minister said he was visiting a farm when a horse bolted out of the barn and stepped on a stone which flew up and struck him in the leg.

MORE ABOUT Lions (Continued from Paee 1) things they get on thete shopping tours. Howell checked the bills for the clothes bought for each of his children and found he was still under par for the money available for spending on each. In the course of a conversation, the black-haired boy said yes, he liked to play football, but he liked Softball better. "You a pitcher?" "No," he shook his head, "I catch and play first base some times." The red-head plays the outfield on the same time. "He's good, too," the older boy observed, "threw out two men just the other day." He admitted the team's pitcher was good. Had a fast ball. "Look," he said proudly, holding up a finger on his right hand, "I split it, catching him." "Right through the mitt?" The boy shook his head and grin ned: ? 'I don't use a mit." The red-headed outfielder said he fielded about half his chances. "Nope, I don't use a glove," he grinned. Good Softball players ought to havegloves, so they got them for Christmas. The 13-year-old got a regular baseball mitt. He tried on a catch er's glove, but it was too heavy. The red-head, though, had an in spiration. He went over to a counter and picked out a pair of work gloves that fitted him. "I can play in these good," he explained, "and I can wear 'em to school, too, when it's cold. The little girl presented a little stiffer problem. She didn't like dolls, one of the boys confided. She got a Mickey Mouse watch instead, but she didn't find it out till she got back to school. The little girl and the red-headed outfielder went back to school. The 13-year-old went to a bar ber shop. The red-head didn't want to go to the barber's. "I promised my grandfather I'd let him cut my hair Saturday," he explained. The older boy looked a little sheepish before he went in. He'd feel the long hair curling around his ears, every now and then dur ing the shopping tour, and run his fingers uncertainly through the thick, unruly mop that covered the ton of his head. Whn ho left the barber shon. though, his rhin was a little Meti er, and his shoulders a little ctmighter. and his step was a litUp more brisk. Berber can do a lot for a man. After he took the boy hack to school. Jimmy returned with three more children. Everywhere else, the men of the club were doing the same thing. The kids first would Pet what thev needed most. Generally, it was new. warm clothing. "Thev won't tell you. themselves 'hat they want or need." Lions Treasurer Herbert Angel said af ter he'd finished a tour with his second rron of Vids. "They're pret ty shv about asking." "We get a list of things they need most badly, then if any money is left from the funds set out for each child, we try asking them." Thp Lions would name off a list of things the child might need, thpn let the child make his own selections. The kids were quick to let the men know when they didn't need a particular item. One little girl was wearing a nair of badly-scuffed shoes. The heel of one sock showed at the place where the back of her shoe had been cut out. The Lion decided she needed a pair of new shoes. "Oh, no," she cried quickly. "I've got a new pair of shoes at home. But I can't wear them because my foot got hurt. That's why I cut out the heel of this shoe." But new shoes was the top item on many of the lists of essentials. The kids wouldn't usually think of such articles. But the Lions used a simple method to determine the degree of this particuler need. They just inspected the soles of the children's shoes. Generally, the children proved a lot more thrift-minded than their "second-string" papas. "They could have taken us for a rids a lot of times," one Lion commented, "but they were just plain and honest about what they really needed. In fact, just about all of them were reluctant about getting anything. We had to sort of pry it out of them." One little 12-year-old girl was wearing faded overalls and broken workshoes when she went shop ping. "They were my brother's," she replied in a matter-of-fact tone to the question. "I've got one dress, though," she added contentedly, "I wear it once in a while. But not to school. "Well, how would wou like some new girls' things, like a skirt and a sweater?" She nodded quickly. Her mouth trembled as she smiled, and her bright blue eyes brimmed. One of the men sighed: "Will, we figure the folks might contrib ute enough for about 85 kids. Anyway we're going to take care of at least that meny.", He shook his head. "B u t we'll only scratach the surface. It's pathetic."
