Shirley's role in "Curly Top" is that

John Boles is the benefactor. Find

the child to get the benefit of her
charm and happiness. But in getting
her, he also has to adopt her pet pony
and duck, and her lovely grown sister,
Rochelle Hudson.
The little child, transported to soci-
ety's haunts at Southampton, breaks
through the frosty exterior of blue
bloods with her facile charms. And,
when the romance Of her sister and
John Boles is threatened with disaster,
Shirley comes to the rescue and man.

The city authorities are, of course,
alive to the need Of putting the brakes
on such driving, but the offenders
seem to realize there are many ways
of getting by with their stuff, and are
willing to take chance when nobody
is looking. Perhaps one or two hand
lings of cases like the Coulbourne Of
tense, will call a halt on the wild
driving and officer Birmingham is to
be commended on his prompt action.
Justice Riley could have made the fine
larger, and he would have been JUS
tifiable in doing it. The writer hap
pened to see this violation and it was
a highly fragrant one. Trucks seem
to think they are monarch of the
roads and there should be no protest
as to their actions.

the bridge will be the property Of the
State of Maryland, free of financial
encumbrances.

number Of business firms in lower

bridge project. We have taken the
matter to the Delaware senators and
congressman to obtain their support
of the proposal"
"The bridge is an interstate propo-
sition. The federal government should
take into consideration the decided
advantages to be derived by the state
of Delaware in lieu of any desire it
may have for Maryland to finance the
project, in part, as a show Of good
faith"
"The bridge specifications, Mr.. Grier
said, support the contention it will
not interfere with bay navigation,
since it will loom Las feet above the
water surface at point spanning the
channel near each shore. The struc-
ture would have no draw bridges to
