Huston: eyes, work on the
stage is fun. But work in
the movies is work. Hard
work. In the theater you
keep building a part up and
up. You watch the whole
play develop from a raw
start to a smoothly running
whole. On the stage you
might come into the theater
feeling low, unhappy. But
before the first act is over
everything is all right. It's
the audience. All those
people right out there in
front of you. Encouraging
you. Making you give your
best. You do. And the re-
suit is you are buoyed up.
Feel better.

ONCE UPON DEC. 18th

ONCE UPON DEL. 1OtH
The Duke of Windsor might have
orofited from an example set for him,
s52 years ago today.
On that Thursday, as dusk ana
snow fell upon the windows of her
.andle-lit house in London, Mrs. Mary
Anne Snythe Weld Fitzherbert, 80
ears old and Roman Catholic, was
married to the Prince of Wales, %,
the George " to be, by an Anglican
who valued his promised $500 fee
more than his continued service in the
ministry of the State Church of Eng
and.
1t is recorded that when he first saw
her, her hair was done up in yellow
curl-papers, but the prince fell so
gladly in love with the twice wed
beauty that he was willing to pass his
perogatives to the Duke of York and
live happily ever after as the husband
OF Mrs. FitZherbert. However, the po-
liticians and at last, the prince him
self. decided otherwise. The marriage
was kept secret, despite the anoma-
lous position in which it placed the
lady. To the gossiping world she was
merely another or MS many loves, YET
she was content.
Nor did she complain when, as king,
George entered into a political mar
rage of convenience with Princess
Caroline of Brunswick. This union
was bigamous, of course abigamy,
however, within the law, since in the
eyes of the British government
George had never been married legal
~ to Mrs Fitzherbert. Caroline, how
ever, did complain at Georges con-
tinued devotion to Mrs. F.-and others.

Why should we ask our young men

them.
I am an ex-soldier and I know every

it is just cause, and if that isn't
cause enough to do something.
What can Japan do to our navy?
Haven't we as much right to be in
China. We are over there on a peace

pOINSETTA PLANTS
CAN BE PRESERVED

College Station, Raleigh, Dec. 10
Poinse1tias, lovely Christmas plants
Of green and red, can be preserved
during the winter by following few
simple rules, according to DR.. Jane
S. McKimmon, of State College.
Being of a semi-tropical nature, the
poinsettia requires warmth and hui
nudity Therefore, when taken into
lie average dwelling, the plant should
not be LETT where the temperatur-
goes below so degrees at night.
''Place the plant in a sunny WIN
dow, and put the pot in a saucer OF
damp MOSS" DR.. McKimmon said.
Water regularly, twice a day if ne
cessary; and if the air is dry, sprinkle
the top daily. A pinch of balanced
plant food should be applied every two
weeks"
If cared for properly, poinsettia
will remain presentable all through
January. After that the plant enters
the dormant stage, and the leaves be-
gin to fall.
DR.. McKimmon declared that at this
period the soil should be allowed to
dry off gradually. Then, she said
place the plant, not and all on its side
on the basement floor. To all appear
ances, it will seem dead after dying
up.
Late in April or early May. the poin
settia should be repotted, using rich
soil to which has been added one-half
teaspoon Of plant 1ood per quart of
soil, DR.. McKimmon advised. A piece
of charcoal placed in the bottom of
the pot will keep the soil sweet.
All old dirt should be washed from
the roots of the plant and the stems
cut back to a height of to inches
