CLOSING OF PARK
ROADS BEGINS
SUPERINTENDENT GETS
ORDER TO PLOW UP
ONE STRETCH

Closing of roads in Ramsey
State Park under new plan for
safety and economy drawn by
state engineers two weeks ago,
began this week. Waldo Marsh,
park superintendent was ordered
by Harold Lathrop, state park
head, to shut off the bridge near
the farthest pavilion in the west
addition to prevent motorists
driving up the hill by the road
which leads past the Crate Knise-
~ place.
He was also instructed to plow
and seed the road past the Hia-.
watha cabin. in the old part of the
park. That road was shut off last
year.
As yet, George ]. Matson, WPA.
area engineer has had no final
approval on a project calling for
a large crew to work on park
changes and improvements. He
expects to get some information
on the plan when he attends a
statewide conference of WPA
officials in st. Paul Friday and
Saturday.

TRAIN DERAILED;
ONE OF CREW HURT

A wrecker and three cars of an
M and st. L train were derailed
three-quarters of a mile east Of
Echo shortly after midnight We'd
nesday. Two cars were almost
completely demolished but a crew
of about 10 men escaped without
serious injury.
Only one man was hurt at the
time. John Norman of Minnea-
polls, cook with the wreckfhg
crew, was sitting on a chair in
the kitchen when the accident oc-
Cured and was thrown the length
of the dining car. He suffered
bruises of the arms, legs and
head.
The SIS ton wrecker was being
lowed west, bound for Bradley,
South Dakota, where snow plow
and engine had been derailed. It
is believed that the swaying Of
the boom on the heavy machine
caused the derailment. The
wrecker and three cars fell on
their sides but the engine and
caboose stayed on the tracks.
A Great Northern wrecker
was brought to Echo to clear the
track.
The early morning passenger
trains Wednesday were stopped
at the scene of the wreck and the
passengers and freight transfer
red by truck to other trains farth-
er up the tracks.

ected moonshine raid in about a.
month occurred recently when
federal agents swooped down on
the Louis Leopold farm near San

on big still that was supposed
to be located on the premises.
Mr.. Leopold became curious
when he noticed five men stop.

impossible by high water and
walked to where they had stop

badge and said that he would
search the farm for still. Mr..
Leopold accompanied them but
they found nothing. After ex-
planning that they heard a still

they drove away.
Evidently moonshine is being
manufactured in the vicinity of

Hollywood's newest pair of "pals" comprise an English boy who has won film stardom and a newcomer from New Zealand. They are Fred die Bartholomew and Ronald Sin- clair.
 Practically the same age to the month and both with the same boy hood interests in sports, hobbies and recreation, they became chums the first day they met at the school house where all the studios chil- dren study together.
 For several years Freddie has been recognized as Hollywood's most im- portant boy star. Recently, Ronald came to the film city from New Zealand to make his mark on the screen. When the movie directors were seeking a boy to team with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland in "Thoroughbreds Don't Cry" Ron- aid was tested and won the role.
 As a result of the newcomers work in that picture, he was award- ed long-term contract by the stu- dio and, when he reported for school lessons, he met Freddie.
 Together, the boys ride, bicycles, skate, talk about airplanes, engage in learning the American game of football, race on scooters, compare notes on their favorite books and in- vite one another to riding and swimming parties.
 They have interested the other child players in their favorite game -leap-frog. which they find is not as popular in America as in England

Hollywood-Prescription for the control of Simone Simon: Plenty of ribbing, repeated as often as neces- sary.
 Neither the iron hand nor the velvet glove proved effective for handling the pouty little French actress when she came over here to make pictures. She was sullen, defiant and bewildered. Coaches, directors and even top executives had pretty difficult time with her.
 When she left for 8 visit to France last spring you could get odds of Bel that she'd never re- turn; Al that she's never start an- other picture; 5-1 that she'd never finish another picture. &trt
 But Mile. Simone Ditto fooled everybody. Or maybe it was the writing team of Curtis Kenyon and Arthur Arthur who fooled every body-including the actress.
 Messrs. Arthur and Kenyon wrote the script for "Love and Hisses," and in it they audacious- ly satirized the simon whom Hol- lywood had known. They gambled that she was 8 good sport, and that even if she hadn't found the movie colony very amusing she might be willing to laugh at her. self.
 She was. In Love and Kisses" she has the role of French girl who has just arrived in this coun- try.
 Introduced to Ben Bernie, he says: "I'm glad to meet y0u."
 She asks bluntly: ''Why?"
 That's exactly what happened when she first came to Hollywood; l; couldn't understand why people said such inane things when they

 Singing the Blues
 A year ago Mile. Simon was indignant because she thought everyone in Hollywood was delib- erately unkind. There is just such girl in the picture. Her role is that of a singer, and she goes to Bernie, who owns the night clubs and says, T have come to say that will not work here any longer. am through for good with you and everything else about this place."
 Audiences will recognize the real life characterization when one of the players suggests giv- ing her stage name = Yvette Yvette. She looks at him dis gustedly and exclaims, "How very sillyp
 But, silly or not, she goes through most of the picture as Yvette Yvette. (Funny coinci- denCe IS that one O1 the WrlCerS, Arthur Arthur, bears 8 double

 Also in the film she is repreN sented as being plenty tempera1 mental. And she has plenty o1 trouble with slang. The real Simon has been hopelessly puz- zled by words such as "sockola" and "floperoo," and expressions such as "as close as IS minutes to g." But she understands now.
 Two of the things that won her over to Hollywood were the chance to do comedy and the chance to sing. She always has considered herself a comedienne. As for singing, she wasn't so cons | fident. hut she wanted to try,
