Reding were guests of their SON.
in-law and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs.
George Green, at dinner Sunday,
the former celebrating their gold
en- wedding and the latter, their
silver anniversary.
Both occasions were to have
been further observed Saturday
night with a reception at the city
hall but the severe weather and
hazardous roads cause the post
ponement of the affair.
The Reding family, however,
stole a march on old man weather
last September when, anticipating
the severity of Minnesota's Fec
ruary, they surprised their mother
and father with a family reunion
several months in advance of the
anniversary.
All of the six children and "a
grandchildren gathered at the
Raymond Reding home on that oc-
casion and five of the grand
daughters served the wedding din
ner. A beautiful wedding cake
with yellow roses served as a cen
terpiece for the table and three of
he grandsons who have formed
an orchestra, played several pop
u,ar selections appropriate for
he occasion. Later N the after
noon, Arnold Kramer and daugh-
ter of Vesta contributed music
and cafeteria lunch was served
to over 100 guests who came to
extend congratulations to the
happy pair. They received many
beautiful gifts and a purse of
money. The younger grandchil-
lren presented them with yellow

HOLLYWOOD, May 2. (UP)-

recently drafted into the movies,

Ameche explained that the
ease with which he has pro-

about"
at just happened and that's
that"
His entrance into movies, he
declared, was certainly not made
through desperate struggle.
u went to New York and took
a screen test for one studio, then
returned to Chicago and forgot
about it. However, a few days
later the goth Century Fox studio
gave me a contract and | came to
Hollywood"
Three hours after his arrival
in the film city, Ameche said, he
was in makeup. Assigned to play
the part of a son to Jean Her
sholt in "Sins Of Man." Ameche
received another break when the
studio decided he could, with a
change of makeup, take the roles
of both of Hersholt's sons in the
picture.
He had been working in the
picture little more than week,
he said, when a leading part in
the Forthcoming "To Mary With
Love" was given to him.

JUST PLAIN TALK
By WICKES WANB0LDT

Ii is what We do that counts
in our lives and i'll the lives we
touch, not what we profess
Probably there is not a major
religion that would not regener-
ate the life Of every one of its
followers, if he would follow it.
And probably there is not civ
ilized or Semi-civiliZed form Of
government that would not bless
the people who live under it if
they would observe it.
We Americans have been given
a marvellous opportunity: A glori-
Gus land with abundant resources
is ours: we have Il new world in
which to build an ideal ciViliza-
ton. SO far we have not risen
to the occasion.
Our national constitution is suf-
ficient, our state constitutions
arb sufficient; the trouble is with
the folks who live under them.
r Yet sometimes it is necessary
to set up additional barriers to
further restrict those who can
not be trusted with too much free
dom; and sometimes it is advis-
able to remove barriers from the
way of those who can be trusted
to use freedom construCtively.
By and large we can jot 1t
down on our cuffs that we get
lust about what we deserve, and
that usually we get better than
we deserve. An all-wise ProVi-
dence overlookS a certain amount
of our foolishness.

REPEAL A FAILURE

During the days OF the 18th Amendment one
heard on every hand that conditions were worse
than ever before that more liquor was being drunk
and more devilment wrought than ever before. Old
fellows who knew better kept up this refrain till
young people who knew nothing of the former days
accepted it as true. But now both young and old
know and these old liars can no longer deceive the
young, that conditions are much worse than they
were before the repeal of the 18th Amendment.
There is now strange silence on the subject.
There is not reputable man or woman who Will
dare say that the return of the legal sale of liquor
has been for better moral conditions or that it has
proved of financial gain.-N C. Christian Advocate

and MAINTAIN fine, unSeltlSh,
patriotic system of cooperative
self-rule. The difficulties that we
have brought on ourselves are
directly due to the fact that we
have ignored or rejected the
great principles laid down in our
national constitution. The same
accusation can be made with re-
gard to most of our state consti-
tutions-they are all right, the
laws are all right; it is the disre-
gard of both that plunges us into
chaos and misery.
Our constitution, however glo-
rious, can do no more for the
people who live under it unless
they observe it, than can reli-
gious creed, however magnificent,
benefit those who profess it I'M
less they faithfully practice it.
Many man buys a set of edu-
cational books, puts them on a
shelf, leaves uncut, and feels a
glow of self-improvement. Many
a people have adopted a good
system Of government, then put
it. on the shelf, left it there and
felt a. glow of self-righteousness.

BEHIND THE SCENES

BY RODNEY BUTCHER.

state WA directors DeIOre eIeC-
ton day. 1t all depends on the
amount of pressure for such &C
ton, and the extent to which adj
ministrators appear to be political
liabilities.
Speculation as to the tenure of
Edward Noel Jones, state admin
istrator in Pennsylvania, is upper
most now. Jones is an ardent
Democrat, protege Of Senator
Joe Guffey.
Requests received in Washing
ton for his dismissal have con-
tanned charges chat he used WPA
money, power, employees, and the
frarking privilege to attack polit-
ical opponents, that wage rates
have been boosted in Republican
areas to wean votes, and that
WPA employees have been con-
sistently propagandized to vote for
local and national candidates.
Il =
THE charge attracting the most
l. attention is that Jones illegally
used WPA pay envelopes, under
federal frank, for political at
tack on Stephen Raushenbush,
former chief investigator for the
Senate Munitions Committee and
the. chairman of the Pennsylvania
Security League.
; The league is non-partisan or
ganization formed to promote So
cial legislation, and in alliance
with labor unions and social
worker groups successfully fought
appointment of Jones as state re-
lief administrator in addition to
his present post.
On the other hand, Jones APP
pears to be giving competent
WPA administration and there
have been no charges of graft or
collections of campaign contribu-
tions from WPA workers in Penn
