GAS STATION OWNER SUED FOR $25,000 Damages of $25,000 from Sam Napolitan, Port Huron gasoline station operator, are asked by Harold Forbes, 14, son of Mrs.

Thelma Noantay, Port Huron, for injuries he claims were suffered while working temporarily in Napolitan'a station. Twenty-fourth street Forbes, through the Michigan National bank, his guardian, alleges that the injuries necessitated amputation of his right leg. Plaintiff claims that while working in place of one of Napolitan'S regular employes a quantity of gasoline burst out of the gas tank of an automobile he was servicing, saturating his trousers. When he re-entered the gasoline station, the gas fumes exploded when ignited by a smouldering match lying oa the floor and his clothing caught fire, burning his leg so sadly that successive amputations had to be made, he charges. He alleges that he will be permanently crippled as thr result of the explosion andithe imputations, the last of which removed his leg to a point eight inches above the knee.

In his declaration, plaintiff also alleges that Napolitan failed to file an employer's acceptance of the workmen's compensation act. He claims he was not familiar with the dangers and hazards of the work in which he was temporarily engaged when tht accident occurred; that he was not familiar with the occasional tendency of gasoline to blow or gush from the gas tank of an automobile while it is being filled; that he was not instructed as to methods of preventing such gushing, and that he was not warned about the explosive nature of gasoline fumes from distant points of ignition. He is represented Dy D. J. McColl, and Eugene F.

E. Hoover, 1314 Seventeenth street: I think it was terrible to go on strike for so trivial a reason. It was entirely uncalled for.

Detroit, the arsenal of democracy, must and will do its part. Give cheerfully and generously to this noble cause. It is our solemn duty to see that our armed forces are serviced without stint by this great agency of mercy.

Therefore give as generously as you can." Naturally the Archbishop heartily commends this call to you and asks you to bring it to the attention of your people by an appropriate announcement at all the Masses next Sunday, December 21st You will know best how to inspire your people to make a generous response when they are approached by the campaign solicitor. It is further suggested that you reprint this letter in your parish paper and use every other means to bring the campaign to the favorable attention of your people. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Times change, and we with time, but not in ways of friendship. To those who have aided in our progress and those we hope to serve, we extend the best wishes of the Season. May our friendship deepen and co-operation draw us closer.

of the Catholic faith in the Port Huron area to support wholeheartedly the American Red Cross campaign for a $50,000,000 war relief campaign was made Sunday in local Catholic churches. Rev. E. J. McCormick, pastor of St.

Stephen church, made a spirited appeal for support of the Red Cross drive at all masses Sunday. Very Rev. Dean Thomas A. Con-nell, pastor of St. Joseph's church, also urged members of his parish to contribute to the war relief fund, which is to be used for the relief of civilians in war zones in the United States and its possessions, for maintaining contacts between members of the armed services and their families at home and for training civilian defense and first aid workers.

The appeals of the two local pastors was made in response to the following letter from Rev. Edward J. Hikey, chancellor of the archdiocese of Detroit: Dear Reverend Father: Archbishop Mooney has received the following appeal from the Chairman of the Red Cross War Fund Drive which he has instructed me to transmit to you. "The President of the United States has by proclamation asked the American Red Cross to raise H. E.

RUNNELS SON WATCHES DIAMONDS JEWELRY By the time the 1942 Christmas rush rolls around, neither of them wrill be there. They both will have reached the retirement age of 70. They don't like to talk about the impending separation. Having gone through so many years together, the war years, the prosperous years, the depression years, having shared the ups and downs of their work, they have become close devoted friends. Their co-workers don't like to talk about it either.

To them, Mr. Hartson is just "George," even if he is boss, and Mr. Trese is "Dad," a nickname he has had so long he's forgotten what circumstances started people calling him that. "When you're saying anything nice about George or Dad, the sky's the limit" the other men say. "You can say anything good you want about them and you'll be right." Mr.

Hartson started working in the postoffice Feb. 1, 1892, and Mr. Trese joined him two years later, on Jan. 1, 1894. Mr.

Hartson began as night clerk, was appointed day mailing clerk in 1893, and was promoted to superintendent of mails Jan. 1, 1912. After starting as general delivery clerk; Mr. Trese was appointed night mailing clerk in 1895; city distributor in 1897; stamp clerk in 1909, and was promoted to foreman of the mailing division March 22, 1937. Mr.

Hartson will be 70 years old Aug 2 and will retire Sept. 1. Mr. Trese will be 70 on March 24, and will retire April 1. Woman Ends Her Life By Hanging In Neighbors Barn Mrs.

Margaret Steele, 43, Range road resident two years, ended her life Tuesday night by hanging herself in the barn of a neighbor, Olin Thompson, 665 Range road. Her husband. Elvis Steele, told Undersheriff Floyd J. VanConant and Deputy Sheriffs Edwin T. Reagan and Albert F.

Thompson that Mrs. Steele, who was in the habit of taking walks in the evening, left home about 7:15 p.m. and that when she did not return he started to look for her. He said that she was dead when he discovered her in the barn. Mrs.

Steele had been a patient in various state and county hospitals. Coroner Arthur E. Smith said that no inquest will be held. Besides her husband she is survived by a son, Robert Steele, and a daughter, Miss Gloria Steele, both at home at 659 Range road; her mother, Mrs. Catherine Mora-berger, Percy, six sisters, Mrs.

Hyde, was to close the Christmas musical programs broadcast over a downtown loudspeaker system at 4 p.m. today. The programs were started a week ago by the Lions club of Port Huron and have continued each afternoon and evening with the exception of Sunday. Eleven local organizations have taken part in the programs which have been broadcast over the speaker hook-up from amplifying equipment in the city hall. The organizations used the city hall, Salvation Army and Port Huron High school gymnasium for studios, which were linked to the equipment in the city hall, nearly a mile of wire was used for the entire hookup.

The participating organizations were: The Marysville and Port Huron High school bands, the Salvation Army band and singers, Lydia C.

Of this amount Detroit's quota is $2,000,000. The task that faces the Red Cross is a gigantic one, since it is the only agency that functions with the Army and Navy as well as being charged with many civilian duties.

Before Japan's treacherous attack two weeks ago, the Red Cross for many months had been steadily preparing for what might come. Now, with all three Axis partners aligned in ruthless war against us, the urgency for expanding the entire Red Cross program is obvious. Instead of 200.000 blood plasma units, for example, the Red Cross must now collect millions. To the 40,000,000 surgical dressings already made for the Army and Navy, hundreds of thousands more must be produced quickly, not alone for our armed forces, but for our hospitals. Millions of garments may now have to be made for emergency use by our civilians at home.

So, too, the training program which called, among other things, for 1,000,000 first aiders, 500,000 home nurses and 100,000 nurses aids by next June, must now be doubled and even tripled, if need be.

It was expected the information would be sent today to the state highway department in Lansing, through which the government made its request City Manager Leonard G. Howell said municipalities throughout the nation have been asked to furnish similar data so that the government will know what will be required in the way of critical materials for public works programs, including paving and other construction.

Mr. Howell said the city has also been asked to furnish a list of equipment it anticipates will be required next year. Glass Substitute Covers Screen Doors and Windows at 16 Cost of Glass!

The gaudy red ribbon about the simplest gift causes that gift to take on a merit which it did not possess before; and just as a single rose may light up a room, or a bit of lavender may perfume a queen's whole wardrobe, so one word on a card, written in sincerity, may brighten the dimmest winter day.

That is why Christmas messages are sent and will continue to be sent until the stars are gone and the sun no more. "The Compliments of the Season" is not an empty phrase. It is founded upon a human need in every one of us. It is an essence which makes the wine of life sweeter; it rs the constant drop of roin which finally wears away the hardest stone. Humanity realizes this, whether consciously or not; and this is why Christmas will go on being celebratead, no matter what the cynics may say.

It is eternal festival. It cannot perish, it cannot be destroyed. Genuine Flex-O-Glass 29c 7(L $2.98 Girls White Tubular SKATES ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS PAGE TWO GENERAL INSURANCE and RETV BONUS CARL R. WALKER AGENCY THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE CO. Stone street, at 103 struct i.
