MAKE HASTE SLOWLY

The in which the Valley plays
its cards during the next three or four
days will determine to a large extent
whether or not growers will be able to
salvage a fair profit out of the wreck of
the freeze of Monday and Tuesday nights.
A too great haste in attempting to mar
ket Valley fruit and vegetables will prove
disastrous, will perhaps put the price still
lower-and If it goes lower we may expect
to see it stay lower for a long time.
Consider the case of Florida. That state
had a freeze, one that devastated a large
part of the citrus and vegetable growing
regions. AS is we'll known, the real eff
fects of a freeze do not show up for sew
eral days thereafter, particularly in the
case of fruit. But Florida rushed her fruit
on the market, and when the fruit got
there, it developed that effects Of the
freezing temperatures to which il had been
subjected were just beginning to show up.
What happened? The Valley well
knows. The price of Florida citrus went
down, down, down, and has remained right
there thus far in the season. Florida
grapefruit got a bad eye, and has not yet
recovered from the ~trouncing the markets
gave il.
The same results. to a perhaps lesser
degree, befell her vegetables.
So, we say, it behooves the Valley to
make haste slowly. to make sure that ev-
cry car of citrus that moves Is Of perfect
quality, and we have a beautiful chance
Of cashing in to some extent. at least, from
the freeze. The same thing applies to
our vegetable shipments.
We have the citrus and we have the
vegetables. That both have suffered som
damage is indisputabIe. But that a large
part of the citrus, that a stable portion of
our vegetable acreage came through with
out harm is also in~disputable.
Let's see to it that every individual
grapefruit, every individual head of cab
bage, that is loaded on a car is of the fin
est possible quality, and let's not be in too
big a hurry to load.
The markets are as yet unconvinced
that the Valleys crops, any of them, have
escaped damage. Our first problem is to
convince them Of that fact. Once they see
that the quality Of the first cars harvested
since the freeze are of the same fine
quality they have been receiving. all will
be well and our Valley growers should re-
ceive a fair to good price for the remain
der of their winter and early spring har-
vestings.

Therefore, the one important principle would seem
to be restriction OF the carbohydrate foods, principal
~ because persons with arthritis have difficulty with
carbohydrates, due TO abnormalities In their intes-

Orange or grapefruit juice glass.

Coffee with 40 per cent cream
Dinner

STATE

This afternoon and evening is
your last opportunity to see Give
Brook and Madeleine Carroll in
that powerful 18th century drama
"Loves of a Dictator" at the War
ner Brothers State theater. The CO.
feature is after the Dance" To-
morrow brings an all new program
headed by Miriam Hopkins in the
screen hit "Backy Sharp" which
is filmed in the wondrous beauty
of the new technicolor.
AS fiction's immortal coquette,
the blonde and lovely Miss Hop
kins has role demanding both
sparkling humor and tense emo
ton. She is brilliantly supported
by Frances Dee, Sir Cedric Hard
wicke, Billie Burke, Alison Spiy-
worth, Nigel Bruce, Alan Now
bray, G. p. Huntley, Jr., Colin
Tapley, William Faversham, and
other notable players.
True to the novel in treatment,
period and locale, the picture deals
with the London of the early nine
teenth century, and traces the me-
teoric career of clever beauty
who uses her wits and loneliness
to conquer the hearts of men and
to overcome social barriers. That
the beautiful, and often heartless,
Becky, pays an ultimate price for
her ruthless rise is inevitable.
There also will be a great sup
porting program. On the stage
Monday evening will be presented
the Worth Fur Fashion review, at
which new fur coat will be given
away to some lucky person.

Hollywood Gossip

(NEA Service STAFF Correspondent
Hollywood. - Charles Laughton
wants to be a lover!
But only in a professional way,
Of course. He's already won his
spurs off the screen. His wife,
Elsa Manchester, will testify any
time that he's the worlds best
real life romancer.
But that doesn't satisfy his
newest thespian ambition. The
heart Of the SO year old ex-inn-
keeper is set upon wooing and
winning a beautiful damsel while
movie cameras make an everlast-
ing record of his amorous actions.
81 am convinced that an actor
occasionally must be enveloped
by a romantic atmosphere IL he
is to capture the imagination of
the American public. So want
to portray such character"
Laughton confided to me in the
soft, low tones he has made ia
nous on the screen.
ut might surprise you to
know" he added, that have
never received more than IL fan
letters a week since l became a
motion picture star. Until !
played comedy role in Rug
giles of Red Gap was COM
plete nonentity insofar as fam
letter writer's were concerned.
Then an avalanche of letters be-
gan to swamp me-one or two,
every day.
'But after I played Javert in
Les Miserables' the letters stopped
again. And / actually heard my
self Kissed in a theater, a most
unusual experience for me-"
Laughton carefully explains that
it isn't the desire for more fan
mail that prompts his craving for
a romantic role. Still, it's not
likely he would throw away I'M
opened the missives scores Of ga-ga
girls would be bound to write him.
"It's simply that I enjoy d.
versity of characterization and
don't want to become stamped as
one type particularly type In
which the American public shows
very little interest" he says.
Laughton's desire puts him in
the same class with Charlie Chap
lin. Recognized as the greatest
living comedian, Charles big am
bition is to portray heavy drama.
For years he has nursed the
thought of bringing Hamlet" to
the screen.
So 1t is with Laughton. Out
stripping everyone else in pictures
as a sinister characterize can ex-
press more villainy with single
glance than any other man on the
screen--he Graves romance.
And soon his dream is to be
realized-after a fashion. When
he finishes "Mutiny on the Boun-
ty," he's going back to England
to do "Cyrano de Bergeracr
Rather a grotesque lover, tits true,
but nevertheless a lover.
