^couldn’t keep them up.

addressed the chair, and said, “I
was born here.” He continued:
“Even a hole looks good to you if
i you live in it long enough. If for
the conveniences of water, sewage

ditions, I would favor moving to
j the Satellite Field.”

Leaves Fortune;
Dies In ‘Flophouse’
OLYMPIA, Wash. </P) — Miss
Helen Carlson, Olympia office
worker, was to leave today to ar
range funeral services for an un
cle who died in a 30-cent-a-night
Chicago “flophouse” district room
—and left her $27,500 in war
bonds and $4,000 in other securi
ties in envelopes in the room.
The uncle, Swan Carlson, 75,
died during the night Saturday,
apparently from a heart ailment.
Miss Carlson said she did not
know much about her uncle and
last visited her sister in 1941. “We
wondered why he lived under
such poor conditions and whether
it was necessary. But he didn’t
explain.”
Chicago police said the bonds,
all purchased in 1942, were in
these denominations: two $10,000,
one $5,000, two $1,000 and one
$500.
Letters in the room indicated
he had worked in the silver mines
of Washington and Idaho.
Near his iron bed were crumbs
: of stale bread and cheese, and a
stack of comic books. Police said
' he died of heart disease.
Battered belongings suggested
■ secrets of the white-haired recluse
who, relatives said, seemed always
broke and lonely. There was a
large box full of hoarded cigar
ette stubs. There was a trunk
filled with old letters.
Rebekahs will hold Food Sale al
N. C. Store on Nov. 26th.
