Quick-tempered and lovely Frisky (Gina Lollobrigida) has in censed the jealous village maidens because she not only captured the heart of Steiluti (Roberto Risso), a handsome lieutenant in the Italian State Police, but has also won the sympathies of his com manding officer, the Marshal (Vittorio 'De Sica), whose “sweet tooth” for pretty young ladies has not been affected by his graying temples. Starting the next day for an extended engagement is a movie making Its first showing in the Carolinas, “Lust For Life”. In this picture the anguish, passion and struggle toward a dedicated goal in the career of Vincent Van Gogh are brought to life in grip ping cinema terms by Kirk Doug las.

Office Classes Study Use Of Phone Diversified Occupations Office Practice classes, under the super vision of Mrs. Kathryn McEntire, co-ordinator, have recently been studying telephoning, with the aid of two specially-designed tele phones. These phones have been loaned to the D. O. students by the South ern Bell Telephone Company. Two people who are using the phone are sent into separate rooms, making the effect the same as in actual telephoning. An extensive study of long-distance, local, business, and social telephoning has proven to be very valuable to these students who are already in various businesses. A tape recorder, which was do nated to the classes by Piedmont Associated Industries, is being used to record conversations, in order that the students may hear their own voices over the phone. The classes took a guided tour through the Southern Bell Tele phone Company in order to gain a better understanding of telephon ing in the business world of today.
