A CHANGING WORLD
(Tustin NeWS)

II we humans think we have cause to fret be-
cause we are living in changing world" what
about or Man Colorado River, who for untold
millions of years has been digging himself deeper
into his groove on his course to the ocean, only
to find himself suddenly changed not once but
twice in the brief time of but few short years?
For cons the stream had occupied its deep
cut bed, unchanged except as it sunk deeper into
the bosom of Mother Nature. Then came mans
call of progress and it was compelled to forsake
its old ways and travel through man-made tun-
nes, while concrete and steel blocked its age
old course And again, last month, it is again
made to change its old ways man opens
another unit in his attack against drought and
flood and more firmly establishes his toothold
in the waStelands of the Southwest.
At the Parker dam, $50 miles below that
greatest wall of concrete, two great diversion
tunnels are carrying the silt-laden waters
around the site of tthe dam, now being built
TO insure the cities of Southern California
against drought as long as snow packs form in
the Rocky mountains a thousand miles away.
But that is not all, for 140 miles below Par
ker dam the All-American canal, now under
construction will change the course of the old
stream, as another portion will be diverted for
use of the parched Imperial and Coachena
valleys And these are but three of the great
changes that OF Man Colorado River is ex-
periencing in his old age in this changing world
of ours. No doubt there still other and
greater changes in store for the old stream that
will cause him further startling shocks in his
e-time peaceful bed a

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 26. W.n)-
Shows of the week
"The Plough and the Stars"
(RKO-Radio).
Falling short by definite mar
gin of their goal-a second "Infor-
er''-John Ford and his cohorts
never -the-less make sincere, NOV
ing entertainment of this Sean
O'Casey play.
Probably the difference lies In
lack of single great performance
such as that which won the academy
award for Victor McLaglen in the
"Informer" year ago.
While there isn't false note in
the Plough" from performances Of
Barbara Stanwyck and Preston
Foster to the least bit part, the play
hasn't the focus and intensity of its
predecessor.
This fault is probably inherent in
the story, completely rewritten by
Dudley Nichols and differing wide
ly from the original. 1t is stripped
to essentials of the conflict between
individual love of Stanwyck and
Foster, and Fosters devotion to the
Irish republic in the rebellion Of
1916.
AS far as motivation and contin-
uity are concerned, the screen ver-
sion is probably superior to the
stage play, but is misses most of
O'Casey's charming diversions, and
many strong parts, such as that of
"Fluther," admirably played by Bar
ry Fitzgerald, are sadly compacted.
The Abbey Players of Dublin,
Dennis O'Dea, Neil Fitzgerald, Eli
cen Grove, Arthur Shields, F. J.
Mccormick and j. M. Kerrigan, per-
form ably to a man, and Moroni
Olsen, Erin O'Brien-Moore, Cyril
McLaglen, Una O'Connor and Bon
ita Granville add strong support.
Direction of Ford is flawless, and
production, at least, (Cliff Reid and
Robert Sisk), equals any previous
effort.
On the other hand, appeal of the
play probably has its limitations,
and there's no reason to expect it
will fare better than indiffently
successful "Informer" at the box
office.

Remember: Pessimists Aren't Always Right!

story of the day is the sort of thing
that leads to much ridiculous writ
ing and causes many an editorial
writer to go home at night feeling
that he has made a spectacle of
himself -
But it does seem as if this little
parable of the Moors, the guinea
pig, and the disease germ packs at
least the semblance of an object
lesson, somewhere.
Look at it like this. If you knew
a man who was going to go into an
institute of pathology and dine on
germ-filled animals, you would
mark him down as a dead man
and send in call for the nearest
undertaken. According to all the
rules, he ought to die-speedily and
unpleasantly.
But these Moors ate and escaped
unharmed. Lifes grim probabilities
went haywire somewhere. The
Moors calmly drifted into the jaws
of death and drifted out again,
unScatfed.
And it is comforting TO reflect
that things often work out that way.
Our world today is riding for a ter
rible fall, according TO all the
prophets.
1t is certain to get into war. and
when it does it is certain TO blow
itself to bits; failing that, depression
and collapse will bring misery and
revolt for half the world.
But the probabilities don't always
work out. Life is forever con-
founding the peSsimists.
And we are at least entitled to
hope that the dire things which are
about to happen to us won't, per-
haps, happen after all.

 Possibilities
(By The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 4- Delegate Dimond and Governor Troy said they felt encouraged after comforting with officials on two Alaska projects-the newly authorized army air base survey and the proposed International Highway linking the Territory with continental United States.
 They said Chief of Staff Malin Craig assured them that the War Department would conduct a thorough survey and obtain all facts necessary to support re- quest for appropriation for the Alaska aviation base.
 Hull, they said, reported some progress in attempts to open ne- gotiations with Canada on the question of joint action by the two nations in starting highway construction into Alaska and the Interior. Hull, they said, indicat ed that he favored the project but reported that the Canadians are proceeding cautiously because of lack of funds. Gov. Troy said that Craig predicted that the Alaska aviation base survey will require a year to complete.
 Aspecial body of army officers have been named to carry on our survey, they have wide latitude for determining how the survey is to be conducted. He said he was impressed by the sincerity of the War Department in its de sire to establish the Alaska base.
