Of Dick Powell, one-time In

until the famed Hollywood
colony had linked his name
with another domestic ven

star.
According to the "heards"

recent occasions that
It's entirely possible he may
decide to live in Hollywood for
some time.
Dick, who left Indianapolis
to vocalize the east and then
hoped to Hollywood for two
movie appearances, was granted
the divorce on the basis that
his wife, Mildred Paul Pow

so far as to hurl various house

Powell's former wife now is

WANTED: TWO
LITTLE GIRLS
Home, Clothes, Dolls and
Love Await Them.

Somewhere in indianapolis there
are two little girls, between the ages
of 3 and 8, who need foster parents
to provide a home, clothes, dolls,
and love.
And there are two such homes
awaiting-providing the girls can be
found.
In a letter to The Times today
the Rev. H. G. Lindsay, pastor of
the Cicero Lutheran church, Cicero,
Ind, asked for aid in locating two
girls for adoption by families in his
parish.
There are in my parish, two fine,
Christian homes where childleSs and
lonely mothers a~nxiously await the
fulflllment Of my promise to secure
for adoption a little girl for each
of them before Christmas" Mr..
Lindsay writes.
Thus far 1 have failed in nv
every attempt. Will you help me to
secure two little girls between the
ages of 3 and 8 for these able and
worthy people? The cry of one of
these lonely mothers in her wish is
as distressing as that of many chill
dren who must be in need"
Parents or other persons inter-
ested in aiding Mr.. Lindsay in his
quest may write directly to him at
Cicero or in care of The Times.
