Luke 20:9-16
The apparent utter disregard of
the rights of others, both as to per
sons" and property, is the basis for
most of the criminality in the world
today. There is a dire need for the
"teaching of and acceptance of the
right of : ownership. Individuals
should be taught to respect the . prop

The . Comic-romantic team of
"College Swing," Martha Eaye and
Bob Hope, are back in town in a
riotous story about the men who run
our navy and the girls who run the
men who run our navy! It's "Give
Me A Sailor".
Miss Raye has a role which should
mark a turning-point in her tempest
uous screen career. After going
through half the picture as a meek
household patsy, who comes out of
the kitchen only to serve the food she
has cooked shsuddeilI turns into a
glamour girl of the first rank, the
winner of a national beautiful legs
contest and the pampered darling of
the press and radio. Hope, who has
wise-cracked his way through two big
pictures this year, will be seen as
the romantic gob who plots with Miss
Raye to get her married off to his
brother, but engineers a match he
does not expect. Blonde Betty Gable,
of the famous figure, plays the sister
of the Cinderella-girl.
While "Give Me a Sailor" is essen
tially a comedy, romance plays a
large part in moving its plot. Al
though Hope's brother, Jack Whiting,
has always ignored the "ugly duck
ling" who is in love with him, her
sudden fame makes her appear in a
quite different light to both
young
men, and in the end she has her
choice between them.
The action of the picture is punctu -
ated by four hit songs from the pen
of Robin and Rainger, who did the
music for "Big Broadcast of 1938."

During the five years, 1934-38,
under AAA programs, flue-cured to
bacco farmers have received one
fourth more money for the leaf crop
than in any other five-year period in
history, says E. Y. Floyd, AAA exe
cutive officer at State College.
The average annual income from
1934 to 1938 for flue-cured tobacco
was $167,000,000, and. it is estimated
that the 1938 crop will bring farmers
around $175,000,000, the third highest
income on record, Floyd stated.
"Over a period of years, with the
program in effect, Hue-cured tobacco
growers can market about as much
tobacco as they could without the pro
gram, and they can market it at a
higher price level," the Triple-A of
ficial says. "Without the program,
years of heay piuductioii would be
followed by years of small crops be
cause growing tobacco would not be
profitable to the producers.
"The marketing quota plan, a re
ferendum on which will be held, De
cember 10, is an important part of
the AAA program. Acreage allot
ments and sail-building practices are
in the program every year, and if to
bacco farmers plant within their acre
age allotments, marketing quotas will
not be necessary in most years. But
whenever excess plantings or heavy
yields cause the supply to reach a
certain high level stated in the Agri
cultural Adjustment Act, the Secre
tary of Agriculture is required to an
nounce a marketing quota for the
next year," Floyd concluded.
Any person who grew flue-cured
tobacco in 1938 can vote in the De
cember 10 referendum. In order to
become effective, flue-cured tobacco
quotas must be approved by two
thirds of those voting.
"Selective immigration" having
proven a success, isn't it about time
to start in with selective emigration?
