"The Big Lilt"
Filmed in Berlin
The Berlin Airlift, which made
. news headlines in 1948 and 1949,
is making movie headlines in
1950. For what many consider the
outstanding air acheivement of all
time has now been brought to the
screen in "The Big Lift,” filmed
i in Berlin, starring Montgomery
Clift and Paul Douglas, and com
ing on Wednesday July oth to
the Watts Theatre.
That Twentieth Ceniury-Fox,
producers of the "The Big Lift,”
! should think the Berlin Airlift
worthy of cinematic treatment
is not surprising. For although
| history has been repeating it
' self for thousands of years, noth
ing quit like the airlift ever hap
pened before. The two and a
quarter million residents of the
i three Western-power sectors of
Berlin, cut off from the it sources
'of supply, were kept alive with
i goods from the air for over eiev
■ en months, from June, 194!!, to
May, 1949. With an average of

Comparative Test PROVES VALUE ol AIROVAC

In 1949 the tobacco cured with
AIROVAC sold for $260.00 more per acre
than tobacco cured without Airovac.
Yet, all the tobacco came out of the
same field, was the same grade, variety
and kind* -It was all cultivated and
fertilized alike, so we feel and KNOW
that AIROVAC was responsible for obtain
ing the higher and better price.

Here’s the nrlual experience of a successful farmer whe
lias used the AIROVAC method of "aring tobacco fot
two wars and found it highly satisfactory. Tobacco cored

Iliaa tobacco run’ll without AIROVAC. This conipaiatiw
test shows that AIROVAC provides the only scientific
method of bringing tobacco to its be-t color and <|iiality.
By definite control of the air which circulates up through
the tobacco leaves, curing can lie done without sweating,
sponging or anv of the old hit or miss methods of the
past. NOTK cut-away section of barn showing how air is

Adams, who since committed
suicide, was th- nan who really
brought the race about. Adams
was a colorful character, once
world's champion calf roper, who
made and lost a doren fortunes
Most of the money lhat rode with j
Barbara R was his. 1 do not think
Howard himself bet on ids own j
horse—others were too eager to j
cover Adams' money.
“Johnny I.ongdon rode Fair i
Truckle and Barbara IVs jockey i
was Tony I.icutn. As they flashed
past the quarter mile finish line
Barbara B was two clear lengths
ahead.
“Oddly, I he debate about
whether those cow ponies who
work six days a week and race on
Sunday are faster than thorough
broils stdi rafVs. Occasionally, I'm
told, a thoroughbred sprinter will
win but not often enough to ere-1
ate any monotony."
The deeper Melford dug into
the subject of quarter horses the
