The idea was born in 1894 in northern California during a time of extreme depression, Captain Banks relates. With shipping at a standstill, many seamen and longshoremen were out of work and in dire need.

Captain Joseph McFee, a Salvation Army officer in San Francisco, had been granted permission to set up a soup kitchen and shelter for them, providing a he would assume sole responsibility for financing it. Obtaining funds lor the project was a big problem for Captain McFee until one day, walking along the waterfront, he spied a huge cauldron xusoended on crane in a ship's chandler's shop Why not, he thought, place a soup kettle in a centrally located spot so that'people could nelp feed the hungry sailors by dropping coins into the very cooking utensil itself?

The idea quickly spread to other locations and today the Christmas kettles are standard pre-holiday equipment for the Salvation Army.

Public contributions to the kettles make it possible for The Salvation Army to bring the spirit of Christmas to those who otherwise would be denied the warmth and friendliness of the season.

Another 430,000 will sit down to Christmas dinners they would not otherwise enjoy.

And approximately 600,000 children will open their eyes on Christmas morning see thaj, once more, Santa Claus has come. The little red kettle means all those things.

Spaghetti Party. Mrs. Joseph Farreil, office manager of Frick Mcmoiial Hospital, Wil- 3ntertamed with a spaghetti din- Thousands of additional hunters filtered the State's mountainous deer range today, while the more thoughtful sportsmen seemed content to wait until next week when hunting pressure and accident prospects tend to dip instead of rise. Since the regular buck season opened Monday, the Keystone state has experienced one of the largest invasions of red-garbed hunters in years. Before the season ends December 12, estimated 330,000 anxious, hopeful trophy hunters may visit one of this Nation's best deer lands.

Unfortunately the over-zealous or careless efforts of some fhva'r- iably contributes toward an annual grim toll of death and injury in this otherwise enjoyable sport. Since the long-awaited season opener on bucks, more than a score of gunfire accidents have brought serious injury and the ultimate casualty, death, to hunters. The current high accident seems to indicate that yun mishaps may top those of any previous year. More hunters were shot to death, last Monday than in. the en- deer season last year.

And during the current hunt, heart attacks claimed several lives while at least one more hunter died in an automobile accident. During the month-long small game season ended November 28, nearly a score of hunters were killed and upward of 100 involved in non-fatal mishaps, some of which will have crippling 1 effects lor lift. In comparison with these, the State Game Commission figures of last year's hunting mishaps list 24 deaths and 362 non-fatal accidents caused by gunfire. A few others suffered Jfatal heart attacks or other injury. For every 2,359 hunters in 1932 one was injured, and another was shot to death for every 35,800 in the field.

While still a mystery to the State's game men and outdoor scribes, there still are those who claim accidents occurred when a man was mistakenly shot for Same. This was predominant among the excuses given as the cause of accidents when hunters prosecuted this year came up for trial. Other accidents occurred while unloading guas or by unconsciously exerting pressure on a shotgun, or rifle trigger when actually the safety should have been used until the hunter had a prospective target in sight. Statistics also show about 43 when the- senior class play, 'Melvina's Courlship," was given before a capacity audience in the auditorium on Thursday morn- and before another appreciative audience that night.
