CHRISTMAS NEWS IS
CHEERING TO SMITHS
Since receiving notice from Ma
rine Headquarters in Washington on
November 9 that his son, Weldon
Smith, stationed on Guadalcanal, had
been wounded in action against the
enemy, Wade Smith of Vass had
been anxiously awaiting more news
of his son's condition. Just before
Christmas a letter written by Weldon
on November 14 was received, say
ing t!iat he was well and working
about seven days a week. This was
the best Christmas gift that the
Smiths could have received.
People who have been asking for
"more pictures like 'Miniver'" are'
in for satisfaction of that request j
when they see "Journey for Mar-1
garet," the attraction at the Pine-1
hurst Theatre, Sunday, January 3rd
at 8:30 and Monday, January 4, at
3 and 8:30. Robert Young, Laraine
Day, Fay Bainter and Nigel Bruce
are the top names and they do a
bang-up job of it, but two children,
Margaret O'Brien and William Sev
ern, give to the picture the tug at
the heart strings which sets it apart
Trom other pictures of its kind. It
hasn't the same wealth of marquee
power as "Miniver" but it is anoth
er length of goods from the same
bolt. Seldom has there been a picture
50 simple and eloquent, with such
power to stir the emotions with such
irresistible appeal From the very
;tart it grips the spectator and main
tains the strong grasp throughout.
The author of this best selling book
is the son of the famous editor, Wil
liam Allen White of Emporia, Kan
sas.
