To- ‘WILL ROGERS MEMORIAL FUND TO THE EVENING STAR: ‘Wishing to have a part in per- petuating the memory of one of our most beloved and useful citi- gens, I inclose herewith by con- tribution of Rogers Memorial Fund. I under- stand that this gift will be edded to others from Washington, D. C. and will go without any deduc- tions whatsoever to the National Fund to be expended, also with- out any deduction, as the Me- morial Committee may determine. Neme - As the Will Rogers memorial fund campaign swung into its final week to- day, the District of Columbia Com- mittee, headed by Robert V. Fleming, president of Riggs National Bank, stressed the fact that the funds will | not be used for a stone monument, but for handicapped children. I. J. Robert of Riggs Bank, treas- urer of the fund, explained that by handicapped children the memorial commission means those suffering from blindness, or other physical disabili- ties; those who have been victims of llness who can be brought back to partial or complete activity through expert medical attention; those with- out parents or whose parents lack the money to give them proper shelter, schooling and home care. Many persons, Roberts explained, Btill seem to have the erroneous im- pression that the commission is plan- ning a stone monument of some kind. But when they learn it is to be a liv- ing memorial, they become more gen- erous in their contributions. Rogers Was Shrewd Trader. How Will Rogers was a shrewd trader end open-hearted philanthropist was disclosed by M. H. Aylesworth, presi- dent of the National Broadcasting Co. “Will Rogers always insisted that he feceive the highest price paid to any radio performer,” Aylesworth recalled. “After winning his point, he would give the entire amount to the Red Cross or some other charitable orgfinx-. wation. “On one occasion during the Red Cross drive he arranged to enlist the services of the Revellers, world-famous quartette and his favorites, to travel through Oklahoma and Texas in be- half of the Red Cross. Will, in turn, ©offered his services on a series of pro- grams without compensation for any sponsor on the N. B. C. networks. in return for the services of the Revellers, who were under contract to sponsors at the time of the trip, but who agreed to serve. “When the National Broadcasting Co. had its inauguration program at the old Waldorf-Astoria on November 17, 1926, the services of Will Rogers were solicited by his manager as well as by those of us officially connected with N. B. C. Answered Young’s Appeal. “Will did not answer any of the tele- grams, which were persuasive both emotionally and financially, but when his friend Owen D. Young wired him, requesting that he appear on the open- 4ng program, Will Rogers immediately answered by wire, volunteering his services without compensation because of his friendship for Mr. Young.” Additional contributions to the Will Rogers fund acknowledged by The Evening Star are as follow: $1.00 | 5.00 1.00 Minnie H.

SOUTHHARVESTING YULE TREE CROP Holly, Mistletoe and Smilax | Ready for Northern Market. By the Associated Press. EVERGREEN, Ala, December 7.—| Evergreens from woodlands of the | South—a Christmas cash crop—are | pouring out of Dixie's forests to| | brighten the Nation's Yuletide. | With business showing an upturn, orders for Christmas trees this year | are heavier than for a number of | vears, growers throughout the South | report. An army of workers is in the woods | cutting down cedars, long-leaf pines | and holly trees. Others are gather-| |ing smilax, mistletoe and other | bright-hued foliage for decorations. Alabama contributes much holly, mistletoe, smilax, cedar and long-leaf pine to the Christmas trade in large cities of the North and East, and | some of the smilax goes as far as the Pacific Coast. Pine, cedar and holly go from Ar- kansas for Midwestern and Eastern Christmases, and from the Carolinas, in addition to Christmas trees, galax leaves' are shipped in large quanti- ties. A Florida statute prohibits cutting or shipping trees and plants for Christ- | mas decorations. | WASHINGTON TAXIMAN GETS 30-DAY SENTENCE | | Clarence J.
