This, That & The Other BY Mrs. Theo. B. Davis From my sister in Washington State comes this suggestion, which was given her by a Danish triend: Wash cottage cheese just as you do butter before adding the salt and (or) other seasoning. Both flavor and keeping qualities are much improved; my sister says she'd as soon eat unwashed butter now as unwashed cottage cheese. I knew the Danes are famed for tne excellence of their dairy products and am glad to learn one of their, secrets. Do you know Sad Sack? He is a pathetic little army private, down trodden, browbeaten, always in trouble, forever being imposed upon by some one. He is the crea tion of Sgt. George Baker and lives in cartoons in Yank, the Army weekly. My son bought a book of 115 of the 300-odd cartoons that have appeared and laughed over it for some time before handing it to me. Then he thought it queer that I didn’t laugh. Instead I almost cried and couldn’t bear to look at all the cartoons. It’s never funny to me to see a meek person get the worst of it every time, though I can whoop with glee when a smart aleck gets his come-up panee. And I found Sad Sack terribly pathetic. However, the book is supposed to be humorous and the drawings are classed as comics. Buy it, if you like; but I’ve warned you. Now that Christmas Day with its pleasure and pain, its delights and disappointments is past, we find ourselves with the annual task of cleaning up after the dec orations and the dinners. Unless we pay as little attention to it as did the general whose quarters were garnished with holly wreaths for the holidays and who let them hang there till June. He may have kept them up long er than that, but my informant left the area at that time and had no further first-hand information. Undecorating does not hold the thrill of decorating. It’s tiresome and rather sad; but we might as well get it done Did the sudden rationing of so many things catch you saving up coupons or tokens? I lost a sugar stamp through invalidation after hoarding it to be sure of having enough for the holidays. We made out all right though. And it may be that constant reminders of the importance of food will help U: realize more of our responsibility for war’s demands being met promptly. On next Monday this paper will have been under its present man agement for thirteen years, or nearly hall its life. Our New Year greetings have gone out in the years of depression, in those if partial recovery, and this is the fourth to be written since war be gan, perhaps in the most serious of any situation mentioned. Those of us who have looked for victory before now are making painful readjustments; those who expect ed a long struggle are feeling ro release of tension. The way ahea 1 is rough. I u ed to express the hope that a New Year might bring joy and happiness. Now I find myself far less concerned with what the coming year gives us than witn what we give it. Nineteen hun dred forty-five comes not bring ing offerings, but demands. Let us meet them with as much of cour age as lies in us. Maltbie D. Babcock wrote some lines that I am saying over and over to myself these days. You may like them, too: “Be strong! It matters not how deep en trenched the wrong. How hard the battle gr>es, the day how long. Fight on! Faint not! Tomorrow comes the song.” BIRTHDAY PARTY Nancy Whitley’s birthday was celebrated with a party on Wed nesday nieht at the home of he.* parents the C V. Whitleys.

Zanuek’:- eagerly-awaited Techni colc • production of “Wilson”, en thralled audiences at the Wendell Theatre will see motion picture history made. This picture will be' shown one day only, Tuesday, January 2, matinee and night. Magnificent is inadequate to de scribe this picture. By "every standard “Wilson” can be classed as the finest entertainment brought to the screen in the long and spectacular history of motion pictures. For here in one great entertainment —is all the color, sweep, drama and power that the screen ha’s striven to achieve. To see it will be as if you never saw a motion picture before, for “Wil son” is something entirely differ ent in film production- a motion picture tlmt will open a whole rich, new world of emotional ex . penence for every man, woman or child who sees it. The 20th Century-Fox film brings to the screen in brilliant panoramic fashion, the globe sweeping drama of an era and a nation; the most exciting years ; of President Wilson’s private life; the tribulations that faced our na tion during the turbulent years of World War I, and the inside story of world history in the making. Each role in the exciting film is infused with an intense realitv by a superb cast headed by Alex ander Knox as Wilson; Charles Coburn as his intimate friend “Professor Holmes”; the beguil ing Geraldine Fitzgerald as Edith Bolling Galt; Thomas Mitchell as Wilson’s secretary.

Radio Hour Southern Baptists will inaugu rate the 1945 Baptist Hour togeth er with their Centennial Crusade 1 Program next Sunday morning, January 7th, 8:30 A. M , EWT— -7:30 CWT. with Dr. Wallace Bas sett of Dallas, Texas, speaking on the Baptist Hour network. The I subject* for this general series is “The Call of a New Era.” With Southern Baptists seeking to win 1,000,000 souls to Christ in 1945, and with millions of young ~ , ft Dr. \'V Al l W K I, \ i I men from the homes of the nation in military service, it is appropri ate that Dr. Res-i-tt’s subiect should be “Prayer < >r a Stricken d T ! w broadc ' a part of the program of So them Bap tists to h r -lp loaf' tb' notion to prayer in the open ng of the cru c;n! year 19 , 5 Dr. Bassett, speaker for that broadcast, pastor of the (’I ff T< ~- pie I Pip' t Chi ci < f Dallas.

February and March. These p 'fams may be heard in North Ca r, ’lina over sta tion WPTF of Rale gh. ty; Ruth Nelson as the first Mrs. Wilson; Sir Cedric Hardwicke as the fiery Senator Henry Cabot Lodge; Vincent Price as William Gibbs McAdoo; William Eythe as Wilson’s protege George Felton; and lovely Mary Anderson as Wil son’s daughter, Eleanor. In addition to this formidable list of stars, an army of 12,000 players surges through the more than 200 breathtaking scenes. Through it all, you, yourself, are made ‘to feel as if you are an ac tual guest at the White House, a delegate to riotous political con ventions, a member of Congress in war session, and an observer at the | Peace Conference in the famous Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. And while “Wilson” is by all elds the most overwhelmingly spectacular production ever screened, it is, at the same time, , the most heartwarmingly human drama ever filmed. With his in comparable wizardry, Darryl F. Zanuek has woven into this tri umph of celluloid one of the most intense love stories ever told. Wilson’s romance with Edith Boll ing Galt, who was to become the second Mrs. Wilson, is treated in an utterly beautiful and deeply moving manner. The scenes which {show the President tap-dancing for the amusement of his family and close friends; the “stealing away” with his daughter to see vaudeville shows; his warm cam araderie with the doughboys of World War I; his quiet, yet brilliant display of humor —all paint a never-to-be-forgotten por trait of a ma nwhom all the world knew, yet so few knew intimately. Because of the overwhelming vastness and scope of the sequenc es and situations involved, it is difficult to give the story-plot of the picture. “Wilson”, if one must outline the “plot” of the picture, is the stirring story of one American family; the story of an obscure but courageous man who, in two short years, rose from the presi dency of a college to governor of a state, finally becoming the Presi dent of a nation during its most exciting era. It is the story of’ modern America mirrored in the life of one of its immortal leaders whose convictions and genius worked for a lasting peace and democracy not only for his own country but for the world as well. “Wilson” makes you hear the heartbeat of our nation thumping out in code our Bill of Rights as you witness the taut drama of a chaotic world. The film’s crescendo of excite ent sweeps you with it from the very first scenes of a Yale-Prince < n football battle through vaude ville shows at the famous Palace Theatre in New York City; scenes j of riotous bedlam at the political 1 convention at which Wilson was nominated; election night in Times ! Square; the celebrated romance the President and Edith Bolling Galt; political intrigue unde; the Capitol dome; the forging of “the r f, aee that was no peace”, at Ver sailles; and the final stirring drama of the Wilson disillusion ment. The herculean task of directing this film masterpiece was done by Henry King. This mammoth and superlative accomplishment, added to his already enviable record, easily makes him the foremost candidate for top Academy Award direction honors of the year. To Lamar Trotti, master scenarist, goes credit for the incomparable piece of writing craftsmanship this epoch-making film reflects. Throughout “Wilson”, Alfred Newman’s enchanting musical score echoes a veritable cavalcade of America’s best-loved melodies, leaving one with a nostalgia rare ly experienced in film entertain ment. The picture is further en riched by a brilliant triumph of Technicolor which, for sheer, breathtaking beauty and authen ticity establishes a revolutionary new standard. With Darryl F. Zanuek’s “Wil son”, the screen’s ultimate miracle of entertainment has come to pass. It is, indeed, the most important event in fifty years of motion pic ture history.
