SAtURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 9, f96f A I CITIZEN PAGE 5 LENDING A HAND TO SANTA --Citizen Photo Packing stockings for Tucson's needy children are Senior Girl Scout Becky Resser, 15, Intermediate Scout Kathy Waetje, 10, and Brownie Debbie Ryan, 8. Like many other Santa's helpers, they have contributed their time to a program sponsored by the Community Christmas Center and aimed at making the holiday merry for all. Bins In Stores Collecting For Needy At Christmas To encourage donations of non-perishable foods, toys and games for Tucson's needy, receptacles have been placed in 36 food markets. The boxes and bins were set up in all outlets of El Rancho Markets, Consumer Markets, A. J.

Bayless Markets, Sharp's Markets, Food Giant, Safeway and Goodman Markets by the Tucson Warehouse Transfer Co. The project, sponsored by the Community Christmas Center, 807 E. Broadway, has been organized to avoid duplication of gift giving. The plan, now in its fourth organized year of operation, insures donors that their gifts reach those who need them most. It also affords a convenient source from which the Pima County Welfare Department and other social service agencies can draw on to care for those who otherwise would know a bleak holiday season.

Names of all families or individuals selected by social service agencies to be aided by this project are selected through a register set up by the Holiday Bureau of the Tucson Community Council. Family privacy is assured. Mrs. Gordon Matteson, general chairman of the project, said today that the following Tucson firms and groups already have volunteered to make sizeable donations: Cal-Ray Bakeries, 100 bags of cookies; Ram's Market, two 100-pound bags of beans; Rainbow Baking a loaf of bread for each basket given DRUG METHOD Hypertension Reversal Holds After Therapy SAN FRANCISCO--UPI-The first scientific evidence that drugs can reverse the course.of high blood pressure was reported yesterday at the University of California Medical Center. The report came from Dr.

Irvine H. Page, director of research at the Cleveland Clinic and former president of the American Heart Association. Previously it had been known that medicine can con- Man Unhurt In Trailer Gas Blast A Tucson man escaped unscathed in a butane gas explosion last night which knocked out windows and buckled sides of his 19-foot camping trailer, causing an estimated $1,000 damage. Working in the light of a lantern, Lyman Creek, of 6112 E. 26th had just finished repairing a water leak in a hot water heater inside the trailer, parked at the rear of his home.

Creek said he stepped, outside, turned on the gas at a butane tank mounted on one end of the trailer and was returning to the heater. "About the time I got to the middle of the trailer (inside), it Mew," ttid the owner. Startled but otherwise all right, he quickly doused flames with a water hose before firemen arrived. Leaking gas, apparently ignited by the lantern, was blamed for the explosion, firemen said. trol hypertension by keeping the blood pressure at a safe level, but it had been assumed that patients must keep on taking the drugs throughout their lives.

Page reported that 18 patients with histories of high blood pressure and medical treatment have apparently shown a complete reversal of symptoms which endures after medication is halted. He declined to call the 18 patients cured, but said they were the first on record to show clinically that hypertension is a reversible disease. "This seems exciting to me," he said, "not because it offers any immediate hope for all hypertension patients, but because it appears to prove that it will eventually be possible to bring pressures down with drugs and keep them there even after the therapy is stopped."

Deputies said Chuck Cornish, 27, was killed by a rifle shot above the eye early yesterday morning. His wife, Katy, 22, was charged, but she was taken to a hospital in a state of shock. Officers said they were told of the shooting by a Roman Catholic priest, Father A.

Sierra, to whom Mrs. Cornish went after the incident. The dead man's father told authorities that his son's wife had told him of Cornish's threats against her. He said his son had been under medical attention since an auto accident caused a brain injury 10 years ago, but said, "Something must have happened." Investigators had not been able to question Mrs. Cornish.

The couple had a year-old daughter. Woman Booked In Gun Charge A Tucson woman who refused to give information about herself to arresting officers was booked last night at city jail on suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon. Police said Ovedia Williams was arrested shortly before 2 a.m. this morning when police stopped to question a couple in a parked car near 22nd St. and Country Club.

The woman, who also was charged with drunkenness, was taken to city jail where a search revealed a loaded .32 caliber revolver in her purse. Offrce: HOSPITAL CONSTRUCTION is now COMPLETE!

UNICEF i tmas card sales have been booming, said Mrs.

Olga Gechas, program director of the U.S. committee for UNICEF. The card sales have been setting records ever since the National Defense Committee of the DAR charged the sales were "part of a broader Communist plan to destroy all religious beliefs," Mrs. Gechas said. A booth selling UNICEF cards here set a 10-year record for a single day sale on Wednesday when it took in $4,000.

Mrs. Gechas said people across the nation were sending UNICEF money for cards "in droves." The proceeds fiom the cards go to provide food and medicine for children in underdeveloped countries. Mrs. Gechas said the DAR charges acted as a "stimulus" this year and created a "last minute sales upsurge" at a time when sales ordinarily fell off because it was so close to Christmas. Many of the letters enclosing checks for the cards specifically mentioned the DAR attack as the reason for the purchase.

Mrs. Gechas is afraid she won't have enough of the set of cards designed by French artist Andre Francois, 10 boxes of which Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy purchased after the DAR attack. "There's a real rush on that set," she said. "You may send my Christmas cards to the DAR," said Hubert Schlesinger, Jenkintown, when he sent in a $5 order.

"The church committee of which I am a member feels very happy over increased sales of UNICEF cards which we consider Christianity in action," wrote Mrs. Charles E. Conover of Pearl River, N.Y. She said she had been a DAR member "for nearly 60 years." "Congratulations for having attracted the DAR's sting," said Kurt Barnard of Chicago, when he ordered cards. "You are now in the distinguished a of FDR, Marion Anderson and other luminaries of American culture and leadership in the battle against communism, fascism and all other tyrannies." Mrs.

Bruce Frederick, who said her husband was police chief of Dover, wrote that she did not particularly care for this year's cards. But, she said, "I will order the ones I think are best in protest to the DAR." Mrs. Gechas' said sales already were 30 per cent over last year when the DAR came along. Now, she said, the prospects were for a "whopping, all time record." CARPET SALE! Dan River Cotton, 4 Colors Sq. Yd.
