In Muskogee Oklahoma Whiskers the Weeks family cat toppled and burned their Christmas tree after shadow boxing with the ornaments. In Philadelphia a 150-pound dog blocked a restaurant entrance until a waiter offered a hot dog on a string to lure it outside.
Millwood residents host a string of egg nog parties and dinners through Christmas week. Hosts include Mr. and Mrs. Blackburn Moore at home and Capt Ewart Johnson at Clay Hill, with many Clarke and Berryville guests and a Blue Ridge Hunt meet at Mt Airy.
In Teruel Spain a ring of Francoist forces blocked a doomed band of 400 insurgents in the old quarter. The besieged kept firing with machine guns and rifles from ruined buildings as water and electricity were cut off. National Defense Minister Indalecio Prieto urged surrender, saying the front is 10 to 12 kilometers away and there is no hope for relief.
Snell cites three notable items from the special congressional session. Roosevelt’s Florida fishing trip caused a toothache while Garner’s Pennsylvania hunt sparked a dispute over a deer’s restraint. An Idaho Maine potato eating contest ended in a draw.
Government reports say the embattled 400 faced an ultimatum to surrender or die. The insurgents, heavily outnumbered, delayed the delivery of Teruel into full government control, marking the greatest republican victory since the civil war began over 17 months ago.
