Cowboy-Story Author Shoots Facts Straight FRYEBURG, Me. W--On a new chapter in the 35-year saga of Hop- along Casady, a cowboy immortal, Clarence E. Mulford, is lavishing a passion for accuracy of detail Mulford wants to know, for use in "Hopalong Services A Writ," to be published next spring as his 28th novel, the weight of $5,000 in gold coin.

Not content with less authoritative sources, he asked the U. S. Treasury. The slight, professorial-looking writer whose "Bar 20" tales have been conceived in the quiet of this down-East village for the last 20 yean, spares no effort to be sure of his facts. Once he travelled to Death Valley to check its fabled temperature ranges.

Birthday Trailer To Arrive Today To Assist Drive A huge trailer, appropriately decorated and calling attention to the fact that the President's Birthday ball will be held here Jan. 30, will appear on the streets of Fitchburg late today, according to an announcement made this morning by. Carl H. Irons, general chairman of the committee. The trailer left Washington several days ago for the sole purpose of visiting cities and towns in the northeastern states and will have making its appearance here.

Mr. Irons said today that tickets for the birthday ball program, which will comprise three local dances, one hi city hall, and the others in the state armory and Elks' auditorium, are selling fast and that an increase over last year's attendance is expected. A report of the manner in which the proceeds of the 1939 ball was distributed was given today by Mr. Irons in the following statement: "Of the $1500 raised last year through the generosity of Fitchburg residents, $1350 was spent for the new respirator at Burbank hospital. This made Fitchburg one of the few cities in the state having such equipment "Over $400 was spent on 14 sufferers of the dread disease.

With this money were purchased braces, shoes, special paralysis coats, and other personal equipment for victims of paralysis. It must be remember that this equipment must be replaced from time to time as the-child grows older. --AJ1 -equipment 13 bought under the direction of Drs. McAusland and Brett, visiting orthopedic surgeons at Bur- bant hospital. "Cases are brought to the committee's attention by the city welfare department and other welfare agencies.

Due to the special outlay last year and in 1938, no funds have been added to the committee's permanent treasury in two years. "Inasmuch as the entire proceeds this year are to be kept in the Fitchburg fund, the committee is asking the people of this city to support this campaign as generously as possible, so that we will have money enough to take care of all needy Public Guide AMERICAN BED McGrath block, 304 Main street Mrs. Thomas Casey, 61 Pleasant street, secretary.
