Worse than the country's robber shortage is its brain shortage. The trouble about working for glory there's no certainty of being paid off.

J: ■ .• The first meeting of the Farmville P. T. A. for the new school term was held in Parkins' Hall, Thursday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, with the new President, Mrs. Ted L. Albritton, presiding. , . The call to order was followed with a prayer by Miss Annie Perkins. Room roll call was conducted by Mrs. L. P. Thomas and Miss Margaret Lewis and was won by Miss Ednsi Robinson's fifth grade. Mr. Moore then introduced the new members of the faculty. . Mrs. R. S. Scott, Treasurer, reported a balance of |1,794.56 on hand for the P. T. A. and *243.88 in account No. 2. Yhe Secretary, Miss Motley, reporting' for the executive committee, stated the following problems: the maintenance of the school lunch program in view of reduced W. P. A. funds for labor, and the P. T. A. Membership Drive, with Mrs. It A. Parker, .Chairman.. Prizes are to be given the winners in the elementary and high school departments. The lunch room report was given by Mrs. LeRoy Rollins, who requested any helpful suggestion as to the solution of the major problem involved. I would like to call to every man, woman, and child's minds that on next Thursday and Friday, at the Paramount Theatre in FarmVille will be one of the greatest shows ever filmed. If you enjoyed Mrs. Miniver ... you must not miss the "War Against Mrs. Hadley." This story deals with the typical American family and is truly a great story. Stella Hadley has been playing Ostrich all of her adult life. This fact is-reeognized and tolerated by her two children, Patricia, played by Jean Rogers, and Theodore, in the person of Richard Ney, whose performance of the elder Miniver son was %iled by Aim critics and jtudienceb. ' Following December 7th, her way of life subtly becomes changed and the picture sets out to show how Mrs. Hadley's resistance against deling drawn into the war is finfcHy broken down by pivotal experience which at long last achieves emotional maturity for the lady who has been escaping "Unpleasantness" all her, life. •'' -'V *„ ;r S-; ~ The picture's humor, true characterizations, and lack of heavy propaganda speeches make it enjoyable, it is truly a family picture for the entire family/ I would also like to call your attention to the "Wqrtd At Wee;" These films are actual scenes confiscated from different government's after our entry into war,.

BIRD CLUB From an article regarding the Screech Owl, Batty Johnson told the members of the Bird Club Saturday, that this bird has a sad, wailing cry and is the best known of the Owl family. It is the ohly common small Owl with ear tufts and these are not really ears, so Betty said, just long feathers. The real ears are little holes in the aide of the head under the feathers. In the East, Screech Owls have two .oolors, brick-red and gray. Naturalists have often wondered about this, but they can find no ex plan atoin. _ In the West, all Ccreech Owls are gray. When the first small birds wake it in the* morning, the Owl hurries home to a dark hole in a large tree and will not emerge again even though someone pounds on the tree. Sometimes it nests buthe safe hole it deeps in. — ~ . Thre are usually four white, shiny, nearly round eggs, from which the young birds are hatched with white fuzzy down. Their eyes do not open until they are two weeks old. Thpy eat moths,'grasshoppers and mice and" are very good to have around an orchard.' f %' . i 3 Screech Owls do not go South in Winter. They sit so still that they look like a dried buneR of leaves and so most people do not notice them: leaflets on the Screech, Owl were given to each member at this meet FARMVILLE TO JOIN £ ^ 3 SCRAP HOLIDAY (^Ty-bv-'* d&'.r-i.
