F. SlipUon One of the advertisiiijr men of the motion picture business re cently caused this to be publish ed about (womens likes in pictur es. “Women like gay romance, one with unusual incidents that keep remindinp them how much fun a love affair can be, and that make them forpet how hum- (Iruih it sometimes is. They like thrills, when they relate to real life’ and are, therefore, convine- ing. They’ve got to think, “this could happeii to me. if . .Wo men like comedy, but lUce it beat when 5t revolves around the main ■ business of all women— the biisiness of romance. Women like pictures with an honest-to- posh love affair as the central theme. Figures prove that9 9 and 44|100 percent of them like kisses while but 56jl00 percent of them collect stamps. That wo men boy 70 to'80 percent of all theatre tickets and w’hen they like'a movie it’s a boxoffiee hit.’ The man who wrote the above may be right but if he is "then someone please explain how Ab bott arid, Cpstello are pow the nations leading boxoffice stars and why Shirley Temple scores such a l|it? The.apswer to this may lie in the statement that.wo- n^en,* and mfin aa well, like the l|pu8ual material,-a|ar or presen- t^tjop. , , j.; ... "Thf' manalrer' of’the* theatre- in IJfe^'kj'§>jfk, Tbelan^, in' tlie ‘niid- dle^ of l[ib,0Tn taused b£.. pl^ft!on9^ from, BriUsh^ and A^epMi^ trwp'garrisons op,the itjlind has sent a |iurry call' to Hpw YbA for air^-;conditioning eq'iiipm^nt. It '’seems that even ^vit^ liigh suramar’ temperature of 45 to 50 degrees fahrenheit the.theatre must lie heat^. every l*y in the ^earr.but when the house fills up w|th soldiers the bcftly heat generate is terrific and the theatre .gets hot and daOip. Therefore the theatre in the Icelandic capitol needs, air conditioning equipment even though the warmest outdoors temperatures is considered cold here. Tlje America First Committee still harps on the truthfulness of Adolph Hitler and decries A- nierican aid to Britian as “bad”. The committee is in favor of a negotiated peace the Ger man Fuehrer ’and urges all to ■Write the President. The Amer ica First Committee is the moat succ^ful German propaganda unit that ever functioned out side Germany. By confusing A- niorican tliinking and filling the nmls and air with pro-Oermun thought and ideas, this group, which is proud of the member ship of Charles A. Ijindbergh. has slowed cmr defense effort « great deal and hurt badly the cause of Democracy. They still say and reitterate that Hitler is a man of his word and that he will never seek the conquest of I .\merica. These blind bats and their head in the sand technique limy yet cost us plenty. Hitler is flie M’orlds greatest liar as any ^'utly of his actions and state- nients during the last three yean will p'aiiily reveal. The A- nicrican First (^)rnriiittee should I he renamed tlio Anti-American Committee. I A senator or two are accusing tilt motion picture industry of war mongering and spreading propaganda to get Amei-ica into war. The accusations of these meu are ridiculous. True, the movies have presented factual stories and newsreels of the facts that have done nothing to in crease our liking for Germany. However, everything the movies have presented has been based in recognized facts or actual pic torial records of the facts as they happened. If the presentation of stories and photoplaj's based in fact-or the presentation of facts in films is propaganda then the industry is guilty. But guilty also of A- mericanism and freedom of speech, on ■which principles oiir Democracy was founded. The movies, Incidentally, have not expended any great effort to in fluence American thinking but they have geiven the public just what it wanted and have inform ed the public what was going on in this w’orld. If the investi gators want nice green pasture where propaganda grows like weeds then they should look into the affairs of the America First Committee. iACH DAV WITH Snap » MMBREIID iim itii» ctMftiiir, lUEitM.ii. T *5'; J A Tip to Youth "A Campu QneeB” If you want to be a BJIf.O.C.(Big Man oo Can^wa) or a Campus sta^ from liquor. Not only young people's societies but an Increasing number of college lesdors, movie stars, society lead ers, healtii columnists, and etiquette experts are giving such adviM to youtti. “You can’t be the oonque^ing quarterback in Saturday’s game and, have spent Friday night in a beer barrel” is the theme pre sented by college units of the Youth’s Temper ance Council, the youth division of W.C.T.U. “In fact the choice isn't even left up to> you. The men that the coaches se- leot for their teams are not those wltti muscles in their right arms trained to hoist beer steins." Girls pa^iloularly are toM to maia- tain mental alertness and physical attractiveness by complete abati- oence from liquor. . One effective quotation is from a "Tips to the Teens" column in a current national magazine: *‘A girt is never so attractive after she’s had something to drink as she was before. After a drink or two your hair sort of slips, like a wig. It gets tired and looks it Your eyes, supposed to shine, like stars, are, fixed and glassy, more like marbles. It all adds up to this: You are an at tractive girl or , Bar-Flyt» irou wouldn’t be out on parties, yelf less so?" Why make your- Wittaoat Controls Those hidden unsocial impulses which lurk neyr the surface in ev ery man are generally kept locked in a secret room, behind the closed door of self-«ontroL Alcohol is the key which unlocks that door, ac cording to Bertha Rachel Palmer, scientific temperance education di rector tor the W.C.T.U. Whatever is in that room stalks out—crtiel im pulses. amorous or ugly emotions. There is a difference between a man who thinks he is a big shot and man who is a big shot. Officially, ladies and gentle men, Summer is over and we arc supposed to be enjoying the cool weather of Autumn. SOUTHERN FARMERS SPEED DEFENSE PASTURES command, weeks ago. Russian the Laurens Klan has petitioned sources also point out that Len-ithe city council here to pass or- ingrftd is an industrial city of' dinances prohibiting Negroes Anaw«ring the call of national defense for an unlimited increase in dairy products, southern dairy men, livestock producers, and agri cultural leaders are jcrtTtk^ forces to increase quantity and quality of production, cut feed costs, and ex tend the. grazing season during which the cheapest and best feeds are available. “In the South, economical pro duction depends on securing a lib eral supply of high quality home grown f:od nt a minimum cost throughout as many days of the year as posiiible,” decla.r^ R. H. Lush, pasture specialist, ...Je Na tional Fertilizer Association, .nt a recent 'meeting of North Carolina farmers. In view of the early Summer drought in most of the South and the trend of higher feed prices, every effort should be made to seed more permanent pastures and increase the productivity of those already in use.” Results from improved pasturm show what aan be done profitably to meet the increased demand. In Georgia, cows on permanent pas ture treated with limestone and phosphate produce a 100 per cent calf crop two years in succession, though only 60 per cent of the cows on native unfertilized pasture pro duce calves. Hitler Decides Not To Rush Russians With the great city of Lenin grad, surrounded and isolated from Russia proper, the Ger mans are predicting its early fall, although somewhat b^ hind the six weeks schedule of the German command, when it began the invasion of Russia over two months ago. By German accounts the plight of the 3,200,000 people in Russia's second city is des perate, something like the fate of Paris and other large Euro pean cities under Nazi rule. Russian sources are more op timistic, Leningrade is putting up a magnificent defense they say as are Odessa and Kiev, oth er cities doomed by the German no strategic defense industries. Laurens, S* C.—^The unem ployed extension director of the Ku Klux Klan, Fred V. John son, announced recently that segregated districts from congregating on sidewalks of the town, and requiring them to be off principal streets by 9 p. m. They also ask that all Negro activities be oanfined to W. m Y*m’ Will fn|«y ■••ulKul lOTEl CBNTIjmim He Will Remember T3DAY, he’s just a little boy watching a fast freight thunder by. He doesn't realise, of course, that that freight trcdn is carrying — not just freight — but fuel for the lamp of liberty and bcwdom. But tomorrow — when he’s a man T he’ll remember those tra^. He’ll know, then, what an important part the American railroads played in shielding the great flame of democracy from the blackout of barbarism. In the battle of masB production on which our national defense depends, the mass transportation of the railroads is a vital element. Never before has adequate, dependable railroad transportation meant 80 much to the people of America. Never before have railroaders had a greater op portunity to serve their country. > It’s a big job—and it’s getting bigger all the time. How big it will eventually be come, no one knows. But we do know this— So far, the redlroads have met every transportation need. And they will con tinue to meet every need as long jui it is humanly possible to do so. So far, the nation’s loyal army of one million railroader^ has shown that it has the experience and the ability to handle the multiplying transportation demand. And every railroader will continue to do his utmost to keep the cars rolling from forests,' farms, and mines — to factories and plants — and to ports and Army can tonments. In the saner world of tomorrow, millions of American boys and girls will remember —gratefully — what we«do now! /
