Joe E. Brown
Collects on Mouth
When Joe E Brown was a
youngster back in his native Hol
patc. Ohio, the neighbors all
thought what a pity it was that
the fourth child of Mathias and
Ann Evans Brown should be cur
sed with such enormous mouth
But Joe capitalized on this very
feature and in time it zoomed him
up to the top ranks of the nation's
comedians. He may be seen start

Joe was the only one of the
J seven Brown children to seek a
| theatrical career. He ran away
from home at the age of nine and
joined an acrobatic troupe known
as the "Five Marvelous Ashtons "
He's been on his own ever since,
picking up his education through
]reading. He’s traveled with circus
|cs, vaudeville, stock and stage
shows and boasts that he has been
a trouper for almost fifty years
and never once missed a show!
Between theatrical engage
ments, he played professional
baseball with the St Paul team
and at one time was under con

Giveaway Satire
Be Shown Here
James Stewart and Barbara
Male are the lucky co-starring
participants in "The Jackpot,
new and highly touted Twentieth
Century-Fox comedy made from
a magazine article about the
troubles that befall a radio jack
pot recipient, opening at the Watts
Theatre for three days. $24,000 in
prizes are given away as part of
i the action in "The Jackpot," but
all is not as smooth for the win
ner as you would think The quiz
show calls for the right answer to
"The Mystery Husband,” which
Jimmy Stewart supplies, but from
then on it's a perpetual quandary
for Jimmy, as he finds taxes
mounting, his promotion cancelled
|and his job in doubt it all works
nut in the end, however, for "The
Jackpot" has been designed strict
ly for hilarity and from all ac
counts hits its target as surely as
its star hits "The Jackpot.”

Almost Time To
Renew Licenses
Motorists who obtained renew
a <1 their driver's licenses in 1947
under the i e-issuance program
and whose birthdays fall early
in 1951 will be required to ob
tain renewals in the next few
months, the Department of Motor
Vehicles reminded persons in this
category today.
Motorists who are uncertain
about the expiration date of their
licenses should refer to the lower
right hand cornel of their pre
sent license cards. These motorists
will be permitted to seek second
renewal 30 days in advance of the
expiration date, which falls on
their birth date. The majority
will have surnames beginning
with A or B, but a few will fall
in other alphabetical groups.
Under the driver's licensing
program, licenses expire on the
birthday of the motorist four days
after re-issuance. Since the re
isuance program began July 1,
1947, some motorists will not have
held their licenses quite four
years, the department pointed out,
but in setting up the re-issuance
schedule, it was necessary to place
the expiration date on the birth
day nearest July 1. Expiration
date in 1955 for these motorists
will fall on their birthdays exact
ly four years from the 1951 re
newal.
The Department requested that
motorists seeking second renew
al bring their present licenses
with them to their examining sta
tions. The license will be accept
ed as evidence that the applicant
has passed the road test and he
will be required to take only the
rules of the road, eye and road
signs phases of the examination.
The number on his present driv
er's license will be his permanent
license number.
A space will be provided on the
new license cards for blood type,
which will be placed on the card
upon presentation of evidence of
blood type. Since inclusion of this
information is a public service
and voluntary with applicant,
failure to present this evidence
will not be reason to deny issu
ance of the license, the Depart
ment stressed.

Record Yield Oi
Corn Is Certain
The 1950 corn crop in North
Carolina is estimated at 80,097,
000 bushels as of November 1.
This is 1,091 ,UOU nusnels above the
October 1 estimate. The estimated
1950 corn crop would be the
largest of record and exceeds the
previous record 1949 crop by 5,
132.000 bushels, or 0,8 percent.
The estimated 1950 crop is also
45.7 percent larger than the 10
year average production of 55,
385.000 bushels.
The November 1 estimated yield
of 37.0 bushels per acre would
also be the highest of record. A
yield of 37 bushels per acre com
pares with 35 bushels in 1949
What worries the Western na
tions: They have 2,000,000 fight
ling men, some poorly equipped,
while the Russians are supposed
I to have 3,700,000, heavily armed
j and close to Western Europe.

belter wuqhi distribution
You can haul more payload than ever in a Dodg<
“Job-Rated" truck, because the load is better dis
tributed. Most trucks carry too much of the load
on the rear axle—too little on the front. Because
the engine of a Dodge “Job-Rated" truck is moved
forward and the front axle back, both axles carry
the-right proportion of the load That means you
can haul bigger payloads without overloading.
NOT THIS The payload on most truck*
— like the girl in this boat —
rides too far to the rear. Result:
there’s too much weight aft,
not enough forward.
