 FILM AT POLIS
Ronald Colman's Hit, Olive
 of India a Great / Characterization

This afternoon at Waterburyf most popular theater another su' perlative program of screen sub. jects will be presented to an audience that cannot help but thrill at the magnitude of this show.
 The first feature is "Clive oi India" featuring Ronald Colman and Loretta Young. Here is with. out doubt one of the best pictures seen in a long time and one that compares favorably with any oi the past. There is a magnitude to this picture hardly ever attempted in the film world and critics the length and breadth of the country are praising this picture as one of the best of all time.
 So favorable have been the re, actions to this picture that Rom aid Colman desires 1t as the plc- ture that all fans will remem Der him by. He figures that this Is the greatest characterization he has ever made.
 Now on Broadway at $2.00 a ticket 1t comes to Polls as the first feature of a double feature program and this alone shows the great value that Polls is always presenting. There will be no Ad- vance in prices for this stupendous film program.
 The second feature on the same program and while it is of B dlf- ferent character is the equal of the first is "The Winning Ticket" This boasts of a cast of funmakers. Be- ing comedy 1t will provide laughs on q well balanced pro- gram. In the cast are Ted Healy, Louise F'azenda and Leo Carillo carrying the leading roles, and what roles they portray.
 Wednesday night will witness another of the popular Radio Tal- ent Quest Additions. This week greater treats are in store for the patrons. There will be the usual selection of acts and for good measure there will be guest acts from the Boston radio stations who will add class and prestige to the performance. Negotiations are under way to secure the ser vices of Billy Brennan, the golden

FARM PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, Dec II. UP
American farmers today were Civ
en- a forecast of the federal gov
ernment's permanent crop control
program in the annual report of
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace.
Total acreage for food and nom
food crops will be fixed at from
340OO0,O0O to 35O,000,000 acres. From
1923 to 1882, the quantity Of land
titled ranged between 360,000,000
and 365,O0O,000.
The 100000 and 25,000,000 acres
which must be dropped from cul-
tivation will probably be taken
care of by shifting much land from
intensive crops, such as cotton and
wheat, into pasture and forage and
by retiring large sections of sub
marginal land

BOAT CARRIES
PHYSICIAN TO

Speedy Run Over

Radio Plea

SAN PEDRO, Cal, Dec.
II. (UP) = A coast guard
cutter carrying a doctor
made a fast run through TO
miles of choppy seas to San Mich
olas Island today, apparently victor
in race to save an eight months
old babys life.
In answer to an emergency call
intercepted by an amateur radio
operator, DR.. William A. Brown,
Los Angeles, was rushed to the
lonely island to attend a sheep
raisers child he had delivered last
April.
Arriving off the island, the cutter
radioed that it put Dr. Brown
ashore Immediately and was stand
ing by.
The appeal for aid, dispatched
over a short wave station on the
island, had been picked up by Will
liam Duframe Redondo Beach ra-
dio operator.
Request help for sick baby be-
lieved dying. Call DR.. William A.
Brown Los Angeles" the message
picked up by Duframe implored.
Duframe Immediately relayed the
message to the physician, who re-
quested assistance of the U. S. coast
guard.
Within an hour, Dr. Brown was
racing across the choppy channel
aboard the cutter, C. E. 259, to at
tend the child he delivered last
April
The island : is inhabited by less
than a dozen families. Their only
means of communication is short
wave radio, recently installed for
use in emergencies.
