YOUREE RETURNS FROM Colorado with a story that proves you never know when you will meet a familiar face. It happened like this: Bob was going out to Alamosa. Colorado, to take his wife and family. In Denver he was reading a newspaper. He glanced down at the crossword puzzle and saw In the center of it a picture of Sen tor Hoey! It was one of those where part of solving the crossword puz zle is discovering the name of the person pictured as well as what he does. Now, T could have solved that crossword puzzle. DURING THE TTME OF i Roosevelt's death and his funeral when frequent mention was made of the honorary armed guards on the funeral train and at the White House, I kept wishing someone would give the names of those service men. Perhaps, one of them would be from Shelby or this coun ty. My curiosity was satisfied this week when Mr. Mial Tiddy came in with the information that his nephew had the honor of being a guard in the East room of the White House where funeral services were held. He is John F. Tiddy, A. F. 2/c, son of Mrs. Mary Clark Tiddy and the late Fairley Tiddy of Monroe. John is also a nephew of Miss Margaret Tiddy of Gastonia. He wrote home that he saw all of the distignuished persons who called to pay their respects to the memory of the late president. THERE IS NOTHING FRESH in this remark, but I was still struck by the thought last night when I saw Deanna Durbin in “His Butler’s Sister,” In making the picture she rifused to take off her wedding rings, because she was so blindly in love with her new hus band—or so the magazines said. When she was dancing, an eagle eye beside me saw the flesh cov ering on Deanna’s third finger which was used to hide the bands. Now I will grant Miss Durbin that I was seeing a return picture, but she has been magnificently di vorced, completely split up from that husband for some time now. And she kept possession of his home, too, didn't she? SPEAKING OF MOVIES, "I’ll Be Seeing You” with Ginger Rogers, Joseph Cotten, and Shirley Temple is one you won’t want to miss. It is the story of a girl in prison for a crime she didn't commit and a boy who is a neuro-psychiatric war case. Both are on leaves from their “past,” and they meet on a train. From there on it is your worry. The story is the same as “Double Furlough” a radio play given by Lux Ra dio theatre which starred James Cagney and Gertrude Lawrence CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN order and some self-back slapping is due on the Nation United Cloth ing collection drive which has just been completed in Shelby and the ... —^ county. Over 20,000 pounds o4 good, usable clothing was contri buted by local citizens for th* us* of those suffering people In Europe whose countries have been devas tated. Mrs. R. H. Rogers and all of her committees did an excellent job of handling the. drive, and the people responded in a magnificent way that was never expected. The only thing remaining now is sorting these clothes and getting them packed for shipment. Mrs. Griffin P. Smith is in charge of this work. Volunteer help is need ed, however. Down at the central clothing depot in the Rogers build ing these women will be working tonight from 7NXMO.OO. Why don’t you stop by and help them? Even if you can stay only an hour, your services will be appreciated. Magistrate J. N. King Is Seriously III GAFFNEY, s. C. — Cherokee County Magistrate J. N. King, Sr., was reported ill in a Columbia ho« pital and county officials said they were informed his condition wa* serious. He became ill several days ago.
