Oklahoma Orphans
Are Assured Santo
Will Grant Wishes
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.—More
than 3,000 Oklahoma orphans know
there is a Santa Claus, and the
time again is approaching when
they'll write him letters listing the
things they hope to find in their
stockings on Christmas morning.
And there will be no disappoint
ments, because Oklahoma has a
Santa Claus commission which sees
that the boys and girls in 25 state
and private orphanages get what
they ask for for Christmas.
In a letter thanking Santa for a
gift last Christmas, a small boy at
the Goodland orphanage wrote:
"All good gifts are from God and
God gives you the presents to send
to us."
Four men and a woman operate
the commission established by the
Oklahoma legislature in 1937. They
are Frank Phillips, Bartlesville,
chairman; W. G. Skelly, Tulsa, and
Forrest E. Harper, Oklahoma City,
members;
homa City, treasurer, and Jessie
M. Fountain, Oklahoma City, ex
ecutive secretary.
The chairman and the two com
mission members are wealthy oil
men who get a big thrill serving on
the board which makes the Christ
mas spirit the state's business.
Felix Simmons, Okla
Mrs. Fountain, known around the
state capitol
as "Mrs. Santa
Claus," supervises the job of pur
chasing the many Christmas gifts
and seeing that they are wrapped
and addressed properly. Most of
the requests are easy to fill, Mrs.
Fountain said. She starts right in
after one Christmas getting ready
for the next.
Firefighter Suit Resists
Heat High as 2,000 Degrees
J NEW YORK—A suit which
; will enable you to walk into a
raging fire and live there com
fortably more than two minutes
has been shown to the Aero
medical association by labora
tory doctors from Wright Field,
Ohio. The suit was designed for
rescue work in the blazing gaso
line of wrecked airplanes.
The suit withstands heat as
high as 2,000 degrees fahrenheit
for up to three minutes. Then
you come out to cool the suit.
It has 18 layers which pile up
to a thickness of about half an
inch.
The first two layers are fiber
glass, which is as white as
driven snow. The whiteness re
flects away some of the heat.
The third layer is silver foil.
The burnished silver also re
flects the heat. The metal won't
melt even at 2,000 degrees.
Then follow layers of glass
cloth, in zones of three to four
each, interspersed with alumi
num foil. Layer 17 is coal black
fiber glass coated with neo
prene. Black absorbs heat. This
layer close to the skin absorbs
the heat from your body.
The medical men say a man
can remain comfortable in this
suit for more than two hours
during a heat wave in the nine
ties. This seems to be a tip for
manufacturers of hot weather
clothes.
The final inner layer is nlyon,
not for heat resistance, but to
make it easy to slide into with
fire regulation speed.

London Shoe*Shiner Happy
With Freedom Job Allows
LONDON—The grandson of the
keeper of the crown jewels in the
Tower of London laid down his
brushes and wiped the shoe polish
off his hands.
"This is the life I've always
dreamed of," he said, "pocketing
the sixpence (20 cents) he collected
from his last customer. "I have
never had more friends, and,
what's more, I don't have a boss."
At 55, Vivian de Gurr St. George,
descendant of a distinguished Brit
ish military family, renewed his
license last week and returned to
his shoe shine pitch near Marble
Arch, in the heart of London. There
for the past five years he has done
a regular and lucrative business,
cleaning the shoes of such eminent
patrons as George Winant, late
United States ambassador in Brit- j
ain, and most of the staffs of the
United States, French and South
American embassies in London.
The Chinese ambassador once
presented him with a golden pin
which St. George keeps stuck in
his cap.
"It's supposed to fetch luck," he
explains, "and though I am not su
perstitious I must say I have had
nothing to complain about since I
became a shoe shiner."
St. George is also an official in
terpreter and information guide.
Before Vivian de Gurr St. George
settled down in his present voca
tion and became the most populai
shoe shine "boy" in London, he
led a roving life on sea and land.
In one way or another he par
ticipated in almost every civil war,
from the Mexican revolution (he
still holds a regular commission in
the Mexican army) to the Spanish
civil war, in which he served as a
machine gun officer in the Interna
tional brigade.

FIRST ELECTION IN MONTANA
The first territorial question submitted to the Montana elec
torate of which there is a record of votes cast, relates to the
question of the capitol site and was voted on in August 1869
The contest was between Virginia Citv and Helena. There were
then nine counties. There had been a previous election in Sep
tember, 1867 on the same question but the record number of
votes cast does not seem to be available to historians
In the election of 1869, the vote was nearly 2 to 1 agaihst
removal of the capitol from Virginia City to Helena. Immed
iately following the election, a controversy had arisen concern
ing the election method employed in Gallatin county. The vote
of that county was thrown out because "the election was not
held in conformity with the law." As Virginia Citv had votes
to spare, the 647 Gallatin county ballots that were tossed out
did not affect the final result. It is interesting to note that
Choteau county supported the removal of the capitol to Helena
100 per cent.
The vote by counties:
