Taft, did lot of the fighting for US
in 1776, while lot of the best people
were British sympathizers, who after
the peace treaty were driven out of the
colonies to Canada"
Look at modern times with that
revolutionary past marshalled behind
them" declared the speaker, "and
surely you will understand youth bet

situation you can't do it by trying
to compete with the promisers,
neither can you get anywhere by
preaching liberty, damning Fascist
dictators, or painting red networks of
communism across every evening sky"
He counseled patience" in dealing
with youth, suggested giving youth
responsibility and experience" and
for them, he said, build a real love
of country that endures 365 days in

STORY is COMEDY
Here it is early October and
The Bride Wore Red" is ready
to be shown on the screen of
LoeW's Palace Theater beginning
tomorrow. They screened it at
yesterdays matinee at a time
when my talents were directed
towards "making-up" some Holly
wood-on-Parade pages. Life is
hard that way.
In general character, the story,
while essentially comedy ro-
nance, is the detailing of an
amazing deception. I am going
to take Joan Crawford's word
for it that The Bride Wore
Red" is her best picture in a
couple of seasons.
AS a matter of fact I am
curious to discover whether
being so close, even for a. day
or two, to the picture in the
making serves to shatter illu.
sion or enhances interest.

Joan Fontaine, hailed as the
outstanding feminine "discov-

said to make perfect romantic

of the picture as tempera-

Acclaimed as the worlds fore
most tenor, Nino Martini after
a years absence returns to the
screen at RKO Keith's Friday
in the new musical comedy hit,

The picture deals with the
struggles of a young Italian
singer in Hollywood, and it gives
Martini opportunities as a dra-
matte actor as we'll as revealing
his glorious voice in a wide va
riety of songs from operate
numbers to modern tunes, the
latter reported as particularly
good and already moving into
the top 10 of the present-day

is that, of course, but Walter

More Opposed to HanfOrd.
On the other hand, the committee
is regarded as being even more OPP
posed to the Hanford bill, on the
grounds that it goes too far in the OPP
posite direction. Many feel that since
the State has not yet legalized even
the sale of liquor, except in II coun-
ties, that the State should not yet I'M
dertake the manufacture of liquors
and to act as distiller, wholesaler and
jo6ber for the entire State.
While the committee as yet has
given no indication of what it will pro
pose in the place of these bills, there
are those who believe the commit
tee will sooner or later report uot a
compromise committee substitute for
these bills and that this committee
bill will probably call for a county OPP
ton plan under which each county in
the State may vote for or against the
establishment of liquor stores, under
joint State and county control and
from which the counties will get the
greater part of the revenue.

Gates of county and State control of

Raleigh, Jan. ga good many city
and county superintendent of schools
are going to fight the bill already in
troduced but still in committees,
which would make State Superin-
tendent of Public instruction Clyde
A. Erwin both chairman and execu-
tive secretary of the State School
Commission, and thus virtually put
the school forces in charge of spend
ing some $24 100000 a year of school
money, it is becoming increasingly evi
dent here. While this bill is regard
ed as having the approval of State
superintendent Erwin and the North
Carolina Education Association, the
pressure" organization of the school
politicians, an increasing number of
superintendent are convinced that
the State School Commission should
be maintained as at present, entirely
separate and apart from the Depart
ment of Public instruction.

be worse for the future welfare of
the schools and the teachers than the

Neither Bill Favored.
Although the various dry leaders
were expected to consume several
hours time this afternoon urging the
Judiciary committee to report the

opinion in most legislative circles
here is that the committee, after lis

eventually report both bills unfavor-
