In these frantic days, not many
people have time to muse upon what
they'd do If marooned on a desert
island with the 10 best books of the
year, or suddenly presented with a
million dollars by an eccentric old
man. IF I Had a Million" offers a
few practical, humorous, occasionally
ironic suggestions for the latter situa.
ton. Thus: A clerk in a china shop
should throw plates. A bedeviled
driver should hire large, heavy auto
mobiles and grind road hogs into
bits. A check forger should try to
get his gift delivered In cash. ct

designed to alleviate the principal
human woes, and incidentally, to
supply very excellent light entertain
ment on the screen.
To counterbalance this pungent
froth, the Little also offers q con-
densed version OF Man Of Aran,"
Robert Flaherty's photographically
enchanting study of rugged indivi-
daulism among the Irish fishermen

white charger but in a big au-

this Joan sees are visions of 5000
month for every citizen over go

She is 16-year-old Lois Jeanne
Johnson, who quit school to play
the role of Joan of Arc of the
Townsend movement.
1t started last February in Los
Angeles. She had come there from
her home in San Diego to address
a meeting of Townsend Club SO,
the largest in the country. Shar-
ing the spotlight with her was
founder Townsend. After the show
he asked her to continue speaking
for the movement.
When she talks, it is no Min
ute-Girl address. She holds forth
for an hour or an hour and
half. And her audiences range as
high as $4,000.
A trim little thing, only five feet
tall, with pretty brown eyes and a
turned-up nose, she was first re-
ferred to as "the Sweetheart of
the Townsend Movement" But
when organizer j. w. Bridges
dubbed her "the Joan of Arc" she
admitted she liked that better.
And the name has stuck.
She is staying these nights in
the Washington Auto Park with
the other Townsend caravaners,
preparing for more speaking this
summer, and hoping that in the
meantime the San Diego High
School will grant a diploma de-
spite her truancy.
