At The Theatre
"The Last Will and Testament
of John Smith" is one of the
strongest and most gripping
dramas ever put on the screen.
Never was so much said in so
little time. You will want to
give double to the United War
Fund after you see it. And?
DON'T MISS IT.
In "Heaven Can Wait" the
famed Lubitsch touches are
present but the impish twisting
of them has been foregone in
the interest of narrative integ
rity and the family trade The
picture is escapist without be
ing frivolous, a solid piece of
entertainment, a famous pic
ture.
"Cabin In The Sky," ' a com
edy-novelty based on an Afro
American conception of Heaven
and Hell with strong emotional
qualities, attractive music, songs
and dancing which carry the
story on the wings of rhythm.
"Assignment In Brittany" is
a swiftly told, smart action story
of love against a commando
background, vividly presented
for all who have a flair for the
enjoyment of thrills. It Is an
edge-of-the-seat offering that
convincingly presses home the
toughness of commando war
fare and the verities of love.
Card Of Thanks
We wish to thank our friends
and neighbors for their kind
ness during the sickness and
death of our loving mother and
also for the beautiful flowers.
Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Stanley
and Children.

WILL YOU BE THE
NEXT GRAVEDIGGER?
Don't say "NO" until you read this
SURE YOU KNOW all about forest and range
fires. How they destroy timber, which is a
critical war material, and feed for cattle and
sheep. How they rob us of precious man
hours ? nearly eight million every year. How
they cripple supplies of water that are vital
for electric power and irrigation.
"So what?" you ask, "What can I do?"
YOU can do more than anyone else because
it's folks like you ? good, honest) fighting American
citizens ? who start the most Jo rest and range fires.
Sounds incredible, doesn't it?
But here are the ijacts: Careless Americans
last year started more forest fires than light
ning, saboteurs, and incendiaries put together.
We can't let it happen again this year. So
when we are in or near forests, farm wood
lands, brush, and grass ? remember: WE are
the key men and women in this to pro
tect the home front, and we mustn't let Our
Carelessness be the Enemy's Secret Weapon.
ATTENTION, BRUSH BURNERS!
More than 6 million acres are burned,
yearly, because of YOUR careless use of fire
in clearing plow land and burning logging
and other slash and debris. Do your part this
year.
Remember:
1. Don't burn without a permit from a
ranger or fire warden.
2. Don't burn du_ g unusually hot, dry,
or windy weather.
//; ,
3. Scrape a trail or "plow around" areas
to be burned.
4. Have help handy till the last spark is
dead.
REMEMBER THESE RULES:
IF YOU BURN SLASH
First ? get a permit
Last ? kill every spark
