CHATTER
BY Edward r. Long

A new colored star will soon be
flashed upon the screen, it was
learned recently, in the person Of
Troy Brown, stout, dark, and COM
ical member Of the race, who ap-
peared at the Goth Century Fox
Film Corporation at Sunset and
Western Avenue with a friend who
was answering a call to be inter-
viewed for picture, and "got a
break. h 4
Appearing at the gate of the
film studio, Brown very non-chal-
antly (if that is possible) attempt
ed to proceed onto the lot with his
friend, who had a pass. He was, of
course, Immediately stopped by the
policeman on duty there.
"And where are you going 2"
Brown was asked.
I'm going inside" he said in
his very positive way.
Don't you know you have to
have q pass to get in here?"
Brown became very serious and
yet more comical than ever, say
ing, Man, do you see all those
people going in to get a job-and
you tell me can't go in there and
get a job too?"
It was too much for the police
man and those who were standing
by listening to the conversation.
They all almost laughed them
selves into convulsions, and Brown
proceeded to enter the studio lot
without further interference.
Arriving on the set where the
dancers were called for the inter-
view, Brown Immediately became
the center of attraction. The dance
director, puzzled, approached the
very odd-looking Troy Brown and
said. What can you do?"
"I, can do anything the rest Of
them. can do"
"Can you dancer"
"Sure can Dance"
The assistant director and the
dance director got into a huddle
over this new personality" After
their short conference" Of discus
sing Brown, he was told to show

was again the cause Of much
mirth. His name and general in
formation about him were taken,

Westward Flier Bound for Texas for Pilgrim TO-
 Place Craft

c. Harold Gillian, who operates a flying service in Cordova, and Mrs Gillian are passengers aboard the Alaska enroute to the States to return with new plane and new pilot for Gillam's company
 From Seattle, Pilot and Mrs. Gil lam will travel by air to Warm Springs. Texas, where a Pilgrim 10-place plane awaits them, ready for the flight north to Cordova. Pilot A. Scott, instructor in the Joe Plosser flying school at Los Ange- les, who will return with Gillian n the new plane for duty with his company in the Cordova district, is the man who taught Jimmie Doo- little and other famous fliers to fly blind" Gillian said.
 Has Load Ready
 Pilot Gillian expects to arrive in Warm Springs next Monday and will probably reach Seattle on the trip north with the new plane about next Thursday. He hopes tc return to Cordova in time to fly a load of passengers, who are await ing transportation to Fairbanks, to the Interior before the start of the lee Carnival on March G.
 Last year Pilot Gillian operated two planes from the Cordova base 5-place Stearman, and the TO- place Pilgrim which was recently damaged in Cook Inlet near An chorage, from his base at Codova The last season was the best he has ever had, he said.
 ShoUs Good Judgment
 Damages to the plane which | sank in Cook Inlet were very little, Gillam said, and repairs were linn ited to removal and drainage of the longeron tubes. The plane sank when Gillian came down in the water after he had run out of gas m fog over Anchorage and put out to sea to escape crashing in the town. All passengers aboard the plane were rescued with no injur- ies.
 On the trip north Pilot Gillam expects to equip the new plane with ski landing gear at Prince George and will return to Cordova by way Of Juneau if ski landing can be made here at that time If condi- tions here prevent a ski landing he will travel by way of Hazelton and Whitehorse.

SALVATION AGAIN DELAYED

Senile as We be- those of us who totter along in
the rs to 95 age bracket will have to run the coun-
try while longer anyway. The official record of
the American Youth Congress which met in Cleve-
land last month has been delivered and it shows
that the youngsters somehow were unable to take
over things not even by resolution They met
bravely, determined that despite different con-
victions we can find common program of action, "
and went into session under the ambitious plan:
cat this Congress the representatives of organ
lied youth in America will themselves debate their
problems and legslate their solutions and unite to
its own weapon of congressional power"
But it seems the youngsters were not broad
minded. The Democrats would not accept Com
munist doctrines and the Socialists were against
the Fascists and the Fascists were against the Re-
publicans and the Democrats and everybody else
The group which had greatest popularity was the
subdivision which called itself the Townsend
Youth. They comine to picket hotel for alleged
unfair discrimination or something and won great
victory. They agreed more or less to call them
selves "The Locked-Out Generation" which may
have helped some. But when it came to the point
of taking steps to- do something, to elect congress-
men and influence the government, they could not
agree on what they wanted their congressman to
do and the Youth Congress broke up without doing
anything. Which proves nothing much except that
the kids are likely to be pretty much as their dads

REsETTLEMENT RESETTLES

| Subsequent events, dropping an occasional ray

As local farm agent federal garden project su-

he had seen this program and that come and go

Then came resettlement, brain child of President
Roosevelt himself and foster child of his advisor,
Dr. Rexford G. Tugwell 1t was hailed as long
time program. 1t Systematically to raise the
standard of living for the low-income farmer and
tenant. There were to be supervisors for farm and
home operations, mules for work and cows for milk
There were to be model villages, removal to which
was to come as a sort of reward for the worthy

lie was let in-seemed pure enough and held prom

the clients needed assistance, financial and super

Beans grow tough the vines for want of cans.
Labor and preserving equipment were to have been
provided by the resettlement. That's why it took
a lien on the crop.
At this critical moment came the break. Mr..
Mask was summoned to Washington and retired,
No explanation has been given by the admnistra-
ton and the retired had none to give.
Meanwhile came the midwest drouth-whether
more Genealogical than political cannot be deter
mined from this dstance-and money appropriated
for this region suddenly moved westward Reset
Element workers in this and other states in this
region were laid off right and left and so far as
this area is concerned, another program goes the
federal way.
Mr.. Mask knew these things. He saw the wreck
ing of program he had helped to build. He could
not figure the good of saving lost family in the
midwest at the cost of losing saved family here
He could have yielded without struggle and have
retained his job. Yes-yes men are known to be

Now if the North Carolina highways are in bet

/ Mr. Waynick, who maintains them, may not know
his roads, of course, but it seems the thing to do
