(NEA Service Staff Correspondcnt) HOLLYWOOD, Dec 26- III Hello, Jean, come on over, quick! Viol e t just brought two cans of beans home and we're going to have a banquety'
 Boy, how I'd like to have nickel for every time a phone call like that has been made by one of Hol- lywood's extra girls. And believe me, two cans of beans is a ban quet to most of them, for one can is often a whole days rations for two girls.
 However, the day of such hand to-mouth living is on the way out. With a committee now revising the entire list of movie evtras under the provisions of the MIRA code, cutting the number from 17,500 to approximately 5000, those remain ing will be able to eke out a fair living.
 It has been tough sledding in the past, though-plenty tough. With 17,500 men and women trying to get along on enough jobs for per- haps 5000, all except very few fortunates have become quite chummy with the big bad wolf. Five dollars today perhaps and $7.50 newt week-if they're lucky. That has been their livelihood and will be for another month or so when the revised extra list will be completed.
 The Great Mystery
 How do they live?
 That has been Hollywood's big gest mystery for years.
 Directly across the street from the RKO studio Helen Murphy, 19, and Muriel McKinnon, 23, live in small single apartment consist ing of one room, kitchenet and bath.
 Attractive, charming, good con- versationalists and ambitious, no director has yet seen in them that spark of personality which would cause them to be picked for fea- tured roles. They are typical of Hollywood's extra girls.
 The other day, when dropped in on them, I found everything was in an uproar, the apartment fairly buzzing with excitement as both girls fairliy stumbled over each

greater love for our country in
the hearts and minds of every
man, woman and child who lives
under the American flag.
We believe that the building
of citizenship is dependent upon
the fullfilment of four major OBJ
iectives in our program of Amer
icanism. These four detectives
embrace a high standard of edu-
cation in our schools and col
leges; junior program for the
leisure activities of the youth of
the nation; the sponsorship of
civic activities that will contri-
bute to the community welfare;
and the Americanization of all
aliens who come to these shores
to establish their homes and the
support of an adequate national
defense.
While our system of public
education is generally conceded
to be the most efficient in the
world, it is continually under fire
from subversive elements and
other forces opposed to our prln-
ciples of free education. In times
of economic stress our public
school system suffers. Thousands
of public schools close despite
the constantly growing need OF
such institutions. The result is
that thousands of teachers are
thrown out of employment, sal
aries are reduced, in many sec.
tions below a living wage, and
the number of children deprived
of educational advantages runs
into the millions. A situation is
thus developed which menaces the
entire school system and it is
consistant purpose to cooperate
at all times with school authori-
ties in any movement that will
help keep our schools open and
secure appropriations for addi-
tional schools where needed.
We believe that a wider ac-
quaintance with the constitution
of the United States will help in
calculate the principles Of sound
citizenship IN the minds of both
young and old. 1t is our desire
to accomplish this purpose thru
the proper instruction of both
adult citizens and children. and

ity classes on the subject of the
constitution. As an organization

Adjutant, Post 1922

National Americanization day
to be observed throughout the
nation on April 27 was first con-
ceived by the Veterans of For
eign Wars of the United States
at a meeting of the nationa
council of administration held In
Chicago, january 1921.
This date was selected with
two primary motives in mind
First the fact that it Immediately
prccedes May l, a day selected
by agitators %for the public airing
of controversies and un-Americar
principles; and, secondly, because
April 81 is also the birth ami
vcrsary OF General Grant, one OF
the greatest soldiers of all time
and an able leader of the forces
that made preservation of the
Union possible.
The desire of the Veterans OF
the Foreign Wars of the United
States to promulgate and pro-
mote the spirit of Americaniza-
ton is reflected in a practical
program that has the co-ordinated
support of the organization as q
whole.
We believe that all the bless
ings of the democratic govern
ment flow through sound citizen,
ship; we feel that the sane and
Just administration of democratic
government is guaranteed only
by sound citizenship; we are con-
WINGED that the orderly correction
and adjustment of the faults and
errors which creep into the adj
minisration of democratic gov
eminent are truly accomplished
through sound American citi-
zenship. Il
In the promotion of these prin-
ciples we submit for your con-
sideration our definition of
Americanism which we believe is
properly interpreted by the slo-
gan which calls for Gone coun-
try, one language and one flag"
In that Interpretation is found
the full meaning of our basic
purpose to bald sound American
citizenship. 1t must be the watch
word of citizens everywhere for
it means the development of q

have served our country in the

death, or Americanism embraces

We pray that this country may
never again be forced to partici-
pate in another war. But We be-
lieve in fact we know, that an
adeouate national defense is our
best, our only insurance against
the possibility of future wars.
There are hundreds of thou
sands of small white crosses in
the cemeteries of this and other
countries today which bear mute
and tragic testimony to the UNI
deniable fact that only by train
ing, by preparedness, only by
building up national defense
which will impress and warn the
ambitious and covetous nations of
the world, can the United States
avert another world war within
the next generation.
This is the MESSAGE of the Vet
Grams of the Foreign Wars of the
United States to the people OF
America in observance of Ameri'
canization day April 27. This
message outlines a program that
deserves the support and coop
Grafton of every citizen who be-
lieves that the standards of Amer
lean citizenship and the welfare
of our nation can be improved

tical effort to obtain the obJec-

might take a little skin off the

much of their success was pure
niger luck and that still more of
their success was not success at
all, but camouflage, that while
they were saving at the spigot,
they were wasting at the bung;
that while they were pretending
to do things for the country, they
were really doing things to the
country and for themselves; that
their reasoning was fallacious,
their philosophy wrong and their
purpose, questionable.
The mighty have fallen; and
since they have fallen their exact
worth has become apparent. So
has the clay of which their feet
are made.
One of the greatest shocks of
my life came when l was first
thrown into close, working con-
tact with our so-called big men
and became aware of their medi-
ocrity. From afar | had regarded
them with reverence, but when L
cot TO know them, l found them
merely men, often half men-ar-
rogant, pulled up with conceit,
sometimes they were downright
jackasses.
The time has come for the COM
mon sense Of the people to run
this nation. The time has come
for the people to put their own
conscientious representatives into
place of authority and power
throughout the length and breadth
of this land, and to retain such
representative only so long as
they promote and safeguard the
welfare of the people.
A nation run for the welfare
of its people would be a nation
good for everybody to live in, for
it would be a square deal nation.
There might not be so many null
ti-billionaires or multi-million-
aires in it as in a nation run by
select group, but it would be a
land where all men could live,
and women, too, and where little
children could be brought up
wholesomely.
The time has come for the
United States to be no longer run
by the few for the benefit of the
few, but to be operated by the
greater number, for the good of
the greater number. .".
