STATE

Another dandy double feature program opens three day engage ment at Warner Brothers State theater today. Heading the bill is Love Before Breakfast" a roman tic comedy that is delightfully."- hum- orous, sometimes gay and bubbling; sometimes witty and biting; always modern, devil-may-care and enter taining. Carole Lombard is a vision to behold in the sequences where she wears Hast word" in fashions. She is polished performer who de- flyers her amusing lines, spontane- ously as if she thought up the wise cracks herself. The situations are basically funny, which gives added effect to the rippling dialogus.
 Love Before Breakfast" is 8 meal ticket punched full of hearty laughs. There is a horseback rid ing scene which will make the men in the audience gloat. when they preceiye a self-opinionated girl compelled to take a back seat, literally. The ocean sequences are irresistible, with more laughs than there are toots in a steamboat whistle. The battle in the night club is a howl for those who like their comedy with sock" in 1t.
 Preston Foster portrays one of Carols sweethearts and Cesar Romero is the other. Many a young feminine heart will go pitt a-pat over these handsome leading men. Which balances the mascu- line eyes that will open wide when they glimpse the ravishing blonde beauty of Carole Lombard. See the film and laugh your troubles away.
 The companion feature is "Nev- ada" a saga of the saddle from the pen of Zane Grey whose stories of the golden west are always enter

begin with his parents long before the child is born.
 But the pre-school training of the quintuplets is already becoming of considerable interest. It was to further this training that the serv- ives of the present head nurse, Miss Jacqueline Noel, were secured.
 Miss Noel is especially well quali- fled to see that the children's language shall be pure French of the Norman variety common to the educated French Canadian. The people hereabouts are proud be- cause they know they speak 8 purer Norman French than that spoken in the old country, as 1t has been less corrupted by modern or foreign instrusions.
 French Comes First
 With this proud background, nat urally the children will first speak French as their native tongue. But here is another thing: we find that people up here who learn French first, learn English later very easily indeed, especially as children. But if they learn English first, the French is harder to acquire later.
 You see, the fact that there are five of the children gives us the basis of 8 real school community. Many a school north of here on the fringes of the bush has no more than four or five pupils in slack seasons.
 Already the girls are being taught to hear music, and to sing. Both Miss Leroux and Miss Noel

something lots of people never learn. The quins are pretty good at 1t already.
 As the little girls begin to think and have pronounced opinions, what they want and what they think will have to be given more and more weight. Wise parents of today, or others charged with rear- ing of children, give due considera- ton to their thoughts and wishes.
 Today the aim is to direct the child, not to order 1t. Parents are apt to be too set in their ways. They must keep their minds hexi- ble.
 Parents Share in Activity
 Of course the parents will always be encouraged to share in these ac- tiyities and every consideration given their wishes as regards any specific point. Honor, respect, and love due to parents is a keystone of Catholic education, and will be ful- ly carried out here.
 The contact among five growing girls in their daily lives, their It. tie rivalries and frictions arc the best possible training for formal education.
 Here is a distinct advantage over children reared singly. These five little girls are already sort of social unit, and are learning the lessons of live and let live that will help them later to meet their obligations in the world.
 As to the possible effect of rear ing quintuplet sisters together un- der a single roof, 1t is not neces- sary to theorize. There are too many examples of triplets and quadrupletS reared thus, and reared very successful, to permit any doubt. There are several good examples in the United States at present.

Show Great Ingenuity

Soon we will have a gramophone with collection of records of old French songs. As Miss Noel is also a pianist, we hope soon to have a piano. Then there will always be plenty of music in the nursery.
 The children will be carefully watched, and if any seems to have a marked liking or talent for play ing or singing, this will be given the fullest opportunity to develop.
 There is education of the body as well as of the mind. Walking properly with sure, erect carriage, will be taught the children as soon as they are a little stronger on their feet.
 You would be surprised to- note the ingenuity they develop when left to their own devices, as they are a good part of the time, with careful watch to see that they

Press Statement

man John P. Erickson of Duluth in
an interview with Joseph Albright
issued the following statement last
Wednesday:
"Post-election consideration shall
be dispersed from this office solely
upon the basis of merit and loyalty
irrespective of race, creed, or color.
AS far as my office is concerned
the Minnesota Negro Democratic
League shall be the medium by
which such consideration shall be
rendered loyal Negro Democrats in

Negro voters throughout the

Melvin Mas
Hits Racial and
Religious Bias

Striking at racial, religious and
political bias that operates under
the "spoils system" preventing
many capable and worthy persons
from securing government jobs,
Congressman Melvin J. Mas in a
statement today recommends broad
ening Civil Service to cover all
branches Of governmental work.
"Under the present setup only
friends and henchmen of the party
in power get the good jobs" the
Fourth District Representative said.
"a striking example of this is the
postal department. Postmasters
are not chosen for their ability or
experience, but are merely political
ambassadors of the party in power.
Under Civil Service postmasters
would be chosen from men in the
ranks who have worked up in the
postal department.
"Civil Service will not only
award federal jobs, numbering
many thousands, to the most
worthy, but it will offer a new
career to people hitherto perse-
cuted and Disseminated against.
Ability should be the basis for
awarding jobs, not political faith
or friendship"
Representative Mas, who is a
candidate for reelection, discussed
provisions of an anti-lynch law,
which he is backing. The law is
designed to curb the outbreaks of
mob violence of this nature which
brutality take a heavy toll of lives
in the United States annually.
