TEN __ BUSINESS ACTIVITY UPTURN EXPECTED industrial Exports Reported Moving At Sharply In creased Volume WASHINGTON, Marcn 17.—t®— Noting that industrial exports were moving at a sharply increased ■vrtume and speculative markets -nSe displaying more confidence than a month ago, the bureau of agricultural economics said today it expected a reversal this spring of the recent downturn in business ac tivity. The bureau added, however, that there were no signs pointing to a rapid recovery thereafter. In an analysis of economic con ditions and their effect upon agri culture, the bureau said it did not expect any marked diminution in domestic consumer demand for farm pr --ducts. There are several important rea sons for assuming that the current decline in industrial activity will be less severe and not so prolonged as that of the 1937-38 period, and will -- not result in as serious contraction ifx national income and in domestic demand for farm products," the bu reau said. "The present relapse was pre ceded by much smaller increases in commodity and security prices than was that of 1937-38, and inventories in the hands of manufacturers and distributors apparently increased but moderately during the final half of 1939 as compared with the more prolonged period of inventory expansion which immediately pre ceded the 1937-38 depression." *Substance* Discussed In The Lesson-Sermon “Substance” was the subject o£ the lesson-sermon in all Christian Science churches and societies yes terday. The Golden 'ext was from Reve lation 4:8. “Holy,'holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.” Among the citations which com prised the lesson-sermon were the following from the Bible, “Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said, the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, ai. ! wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disci ples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said-” (John 2:18-22). The lesson-sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Sci ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” jfy Mary Baker Eddy, “When Jesus spoke of reproducing his body—knowing, as he did, that Mind was the builder—and said, •Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up,’ they thought that he meant their material tem ple instead of His body. To such materialists, the real man seemed a spectre, unseen and unfamiliar, and the body, which they laid in a sepulchre, seemed to be substance. This materialism lost sight of the true Jesus; but the faithful Mary saw Him, and he presented to her, more than ever before, the true idea of Life and substance.” Edmond McQueen Rowan Succumbs In Robeson LUMBERTON, March 17. — Ed mond McQueen Rowan, 75, promi nent farmer of near Lumberton, Smyrna section, died today at 4:10 a. m. in a local sanatorium, fol lowing a week’s illness of heart trouble and complications.

TWO DROWN STANTONSBURG, March 17— (A1)—Their car crashed through the Ruffin bridge into Contentea creek last night and Catherine Gardner, 15, of Spartsburg, and Henry F. Beckett, 21, of Champsville, W. Va., were drowned l rS* ' __ I Movie Revues “SHOP AROUND THE CORNER” IS FEATURED AT CAROLINA James Stewart and Margaret Sul livan are happily re-united for the third time in "The Shop Around the Corner," which opens today at the Carolina theatre for an engagement of three days. They first appeared together in "Next Time We Love," the picture that started Stewart on his way to stardom, and later in "Shopworn Angel.” Now their third teaming gives Mia* Sullavan her finest dramatic acting opportunity since "Three Comrades" as Klara Novak, new girl in Matus chek’s leather goods and novelty shop, employed "over the head” of the chief clerk, Alfred Kralik. Stewart, currently at the height of his career following brilliant per formances in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” and "Destry Rides Again,” plays Kralik. He resents Klara, she him. They quarrel con stantly until they discover that they’re really quarreling because they love each other. From satirical comedy in “Ni notchka,” Ernst Dubitsch, producer director of the film, has gone to simple, human realism for the theme of his latest picture. It is the story of the owner of a little shop and his clerks. Their joys and sorrows, their relations with one another and changes in their relations, are woven into a fascinating narrative of the everyday events in the lives of everyday people. A highlight of the whole show is the latest issue of March of Time entitled "Canada At War.” This film shows all phases of Canada’s civil, military and industrial parti cipation in the war and amounts to a blue print of what life would be like in the U. S- is this country was at war. "STANLEY AND LIVINGSTON” IS FEATURED AT THE BIJOU “Find Livingstone.” Exactly 70 years ago this October 16th, James Gordon Bennett barked these words at his crack reported, Henry M. Stanley. It was apparently the most hope less assignment in all journalism. No one but a mad man would brave the terrors of unknown Africa to hunt for a missionary-explorer from whom no word had come in two years. How Stanley found Livingstone, how the world called the newspa perman "the most colossal liar of his age,” and how he later became the greatest hero of his era, is the story of the 20th Century-Fox pic ture, Darryl F- Zanuck’s production of "Stanley and Livingstone.” It opens today at the Bijou theatre, an important event for Wilmington and a notable occasion for all. The latest Paramount news pre cedes the feature on the program. “A CHILD LS BORN" IS OFFERED AT ROYAL “A Child is Born,” the new Warn er Bros, production with Geraldine Fitzgerald, sensational discovery- of "Dark Victory" and "Wuthering Heights,” Jeffrey Lynn, Gladys George and Gale Page in the lead ing roles, opens at the Rovai today. The setting for the film is the maternity ward of a city hospital. This does not mean, however, that the setting itself is the matter of main interest in the screen produc tion. It was produced as a dramatic entertainment, and like any good piece of drama, its chief concern is with the fates of the various cha peters who people its story. It is really not so much one story a_ a group of stor'es given cleverly devised unity by the fact that they ill run their course Within the con fines of the maternity ward of a big hospital and each depends for its drama upon the birth of a child. Of chief interest is the ,tragic tale of the devoted young couple depicted by Miss Fitzgerald and Jef frey Lynn. The wife has been sen tenced to a long term in prison for i murder of which she is legally though not ethically guilty, but she was ai expectant mother at the time she was sentenced, and now >he has been sent to the hospital to lave her baby. A musical cartoon and news com plete the program.

In a radio address following the release of 800 former pro-Nazi Iron Guardists from concentration camps, the premier said: “Weakness invites threats and strength keeps them at a distance. For defense of our frontiers, no effort is superfluous, no sacrifice too great.” Tatarescu appealed to each farm er to do two men’s work to make up for reservists’ absence in the army and called on industrial la borers, especially those in the mines and oil fields, to double their ef forts to assure adequate reserves for the nation in event of emer gency. “I do not know what tomorrow will bring,” he said, "but I believe we can feel less disturbed than we were yesterday. I am convinced the greater part of our difficulties is now behind us.” The premier said that such confi dence was largely due to the peo ple’s solidarity and the army’s strength which is 1,600,000 men. He added: "We wish peace, but a peace which will respect our rights —rights backed by law and justice.” Easier Debt Terms Are Extended To Farmers WASHINGTON, March 17.—(&) —Governor A. G.
