J. E. Martin, who handled the fund last year and so far this year. Due to the flu epidemic, vaca- gtion and Christmas, the demand Ifor shoes has grown considerably in the past two weeks, Supt. Mar- tin said today, hence the necessity for public contributions. Contribu- tions have been coming in without the asking up to this point, he said, but the fund is now some- what in the red with the demand growing, so public aid is sought. Contributions may be sent to Supt. Martin directly. The fund is being handled on the same basis ,as it was last year, when over 300 I pairs of shoes were purchased with lover $600 donated. l I SON BORN TODAY Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Vaughn of Route became parents today of a baby son born at Shelton hos~ pital, lGLOBE TROTTER GREATEST CAGE When the Harlem Globetrotters, world's champions, come here to put on a basketball exhibition for [the sake of the “fight infantile lparalysis” fund next Sunday, the [large crowd expected will see the cleverest quintet in the history of the cage sport. ment, he has only to check with someone who has seen the dusky wizards play at any time during the past thirteen years and be convinced.

These little tricks that add zest to a. game are done in such a. subtle fashion that even the player victim gets a kick out of the proceedings. Two tricks in particular are favorites of the fans. One is when the Trotters line up in foot- ball formation and go through a finds it . If any one doubts that state—1 lOlympic Highway.

Sometimes, too, when the Trotters are well out in front, they’ll join in and help the other team make a basket or two.
