The second in the series of Scout
meetings was held at the science
building Sunday afternoon at 3
o'clock. The personnel of the group
was divided into four patrols, and
each patrol will be responsible for
certain parts of the program on all
future meetings. Leader of Patrol 1
is Jess Huichins, of Patrol 2, Jimmy
Reese, of Patrol 3, A. R. Smith, and
Patrol 4 Alvin Joines. In the train
? tag of Scout leaden each member
has a specific duty, and everyone is
at liberty to take part in the discus
sions.
At the , third meeting on Sunday
afternoon the emphasis will bo
placed on competitive sports and
recreations, and each patrol will
contribute to the program a song
composed and sung by members of
the patrol, a drama or short playlet
illustrating a Joke in one of the cur
rant 'boys' magazines, and ? hardest
?ot all for most novices in Scouting ?
an exhibit of knot-tying by every
member of the patrol. Each man
will be required to tie eight differ
ent knots, even if it takes him all
day.
Spectators are welcome. The
meetings are interesting anj inspir
log and quite a bit of fun.
Because of the ruth of other du
ties, Richard E. Keiley his had to
resign his position as chairman ox
the Senior Scouting section, and K.
D. Hodges, Jr., has replaced hint.
Troop scribes have been remiss
again in getting their writeups in
for the new* this week, and we
have nothing to report on this
week's meetings. Most of the col
lege Scouts were at their homes
over tl?e week-end, this being the
end of the winter quarter, but next
week we hope that all scribes will
bring us up-io-date on activities of
their various troops and patrols.

At the Theatre
The story of the notorious my 8- j
tery woman who poured forth vici
ous Jap propaganda during the war
is exposed for the first time in
'Tokyo Rose," spine-tingling thriller
showing Thursday at the Appalach
ian Theatre. This is a fast-paced
action picture based on a true ac
count of the Nips' smooth-tongued
feminine mouthpiece who is conced
ed to be one of the most amazing j
personalities to emerge from the
Japs'5 inner sanctum. Cast is head
ed by Byron Barr, Osa Massen, Don
Douglas and Richard Loo with Lotus
Long playing the title role. "Tokyo
Rose" is still hot headline material.
Known as "the female voice of
death," her methods of propaganda
| have opened the eyes of the Ameri
| can public to the menace of psycho
l logical warfare, sometimes more
deadly than bullets. 'Tokyo Rose"
is a pulse- pounding murder mystery
? taken from newspaper headlines
while the ink is still wet. It will
keep audiences on the edge of their
seats from start to finish.
In "What Next, Corporal Har
grove?" which plays next Monday
and Tuesday at the Appalachian,
Robert Walker returns to the char
acterization which he made famous
in the original G.I. comedy, "See
Here, Private Hargrove," and the
M-G-M sequel is even funnier and
faster than it* forerunner.
Having completed a somewhat
hazardous basic traineeship as a
private, Hargrove now emerges a
lull-fledged combat corporal with
an artillery battery in France. But 1
from the moment that he makes an
unexpected but opportunity-timed
entrance into a liberated French vil
lage as its hero, his career as a
corporal is marked by one howling
episode after the other, punctuated
by his dodging the somewhat over
whelming affections of the mayor's
daughter. Walker, as Hargrove, is
I the typical G.I., affable, blundering,
and at all times winning the sympa
thy of his audience. He is given ex
pert aid in the comic portrayal of
Keenan Wynn as the bunco-artist;
Pvt. Mulvehill, and by Chill Wills,
again playing the sergeant who
hands out the choicest pick and
shovel assignments. Jean Porter, as
the cast's only feminine principal, is!
effective as the predatory mayor's i
daughter.
Five new songs are featured in
"Doll Face," the new 20th Century
Fox musical starring Vivian Blaine,
Dennis O'Keefe, Perry Como and
Carmen Miranda, and showing at
the Appalachian next Wednesday.
Among the songs heard in the film
are "Somebody's Walkin' in my
Dreams," "Red Hot and Beautiful,"
"Here Comes Heaven Again," "Dig
You Later" (A Hubba-Hubba-Hub
ba) and "Chico Chico."

A reporter
tries her first
"milk" box!
(As reported by Ruth
Harris Tyson of the
Moore County News)
Who'd have thought it!
"It .was a little startling to go into
the grocery store in Carthage for a
quart of milk and have it presented
in a pasteboard "Box" - with corners
on it. I had read about them in the
cities and now they've even reached j.
our village. 1 oarried my package ?
of milk rather gingerly, fearing
that it might
be wobbly or
leaky at the
corners. But, ?
it was as dry
as a box of
Cocoa - the
cardboard be
ing treated
with wax or
paraffin.
Later, I found a perforated space
which said, "Lift here to open. To
close, press here". After I got the
flap up, there was
a nice little hole
from which to pour
the milk and a nice
little tab that
pushes down and
closes it."
cos ^ memo
We are grateful
to Reporter Ruth
Tyson for giving
_ her first views
on the new Coble
Pure-Pak milk carton. And she
is rightl Such cartons have
been used elsewhere for years.
And folks who've tried them
prefer them to glass bottles
because they're so much more
convenient. But, it is the
milk inside that counts
