(JPV The Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven ancient wonders of the world, has been described by a British scientist as a hollow sham. Herbert Maryon, 79 year old sculptor-archaeologist, told a meeting of the Society of Antiquaries the giant statue was: 1 Too small to stand astride the harbor of Rhodes. 2 Made of thin bronze sheets instead of solid bronze. The statue, of the sun god Helios, was the work of a sculptor named Chares, who spent 12 years on his masterpiece. It was erected in 280 B.C.

An earthquake tumbled it 53 years later. The story handed down through the years is that the statue stood with a beacon in its hands and one foot on each side of the harbor entrance, with enough clearance for ships to pass underneath. Maryon said he has determined from a study of classical inscriptions that the statue was in fact 120 feet high and the harbor 600 feet wide, which would make the famous straddle an anatomical impossibility. Furthermore, he said, his research indicated the heroic figure was not cast in one piece, as hitherto supposed, but was made of bronze sheets beaten into shape and riveted together. Maryon estimated the thickness of the sheets as equal to that of a British penny about a 15th of an inch.

SOLDIERS IN KOREA FIND LETTER HOME PRODUCTIVE 2ND INFANTRY DIVISION, Korea, Dec. UP Pfc. Mariano" J.

Buono of East Chicago, and some of his engineer buddies are finding out just how loaded one letter home can be. And a group of Korean children are going to reap the harvest of that letter. Buono, of 522 West 148th East Chicago, serves with headquarters and service company of the 2nd engineer combat battalion in Korea. He wrote a letter to his parents Mr. and Mrs.

Sam Buono, of the same address, while the Indianhead Leavitt Funeral Rites Conducted Members of Reno Typographical Union No. 611 conducted funeral services for one of its veteran members Monday afternoon. The rites were held 'in the O'Brien-Rogers chapel for Claude Bruce (Bill) Leavitt, whose death Friday in a local hospital closed a printing career which extended over half a century.

The body was accompanied to East Lawn in Sacramento for cremation. engineers were preparing a Christmas party for children of the Masy-go-Ri school.

Buono asked his folks to send a package of clothing for Korean youngsters. The first indication Buono had of the results came in a clipping from his hometown paper, the Hammond Times, Hammond, a twin-city of East Chicago. The article told of Christmas plans of the 2nd engineers and the part Buono and his buddies were playing. In subsequent letters, Buono learned that his mother and aunt, Mrs. Ignace Augustine of 5531 Baring East Chicago, had teamed up to provide further impetus to the movement.

Mrs. Augustine's church ladies club started a drive to get clothing, toys and non-perishable foods for the Christmas party. Then the "Voice of the People," a radio program, was notified and lent a hand. The single letter resulted In untold parcels of gifts now on their way to make this Christmas a happy one for children of the Masy-go-Ri school. The Masygo-Ri school was chosen from among six similar schools for the Indianhead engineers' Christmas event.

This school, rebuilding itself from the ravages of war, has been aided by the 2nd engineers through the armed forces assistance to Korea program in the period since the armistice signing.
