y A YENDY BARRIE, the young motion
w picture star who first caught the
w imagination of English producers and
later walked unheralded into assignments at
Hollywood, has borne charmed life from the
beginning. 1t was Sir James Barrie, her god
father, who named her for the enchanting
Wendy of his book, Peter Pan. Later, when
she went into the MOVIES he lent her his own
surname. Thus we get Wendy Barrie, the de-
ightful, wholly feminine young person. with
the tcwitching eyes, the sprightly humor,
and unfailing kindness.
Wendy, whose father is an English barrister
and whose uncle, Sir Richard Warren, is
noted English surgeon, was prepared by her
family for society. And she made the most
successful of debuts. But destiny, in the per-
son of Alexander Korda, intervened with an
offer of contract for the role of Jane Seymour
in the motion picture Henry VIII" There
followed succession of eighteen English
films. Then Wendy came to visit friends in
New York, took trip West. arrived m-
trumpeted in Hollywood and, within ten days
after that, was riding full sail to success in
American pictures, and popularity with Amer
ican audiences.
Tall ard slim, Wendy eats anything she
likes - and likes everything. She is so active,
both physically and mentally, that her weight
never varies and she can defy the inexorable
camera.
Consider my lunch today. for instance -
she told US with laugh. Il had an enormous
lunch - melon, scrambled eggs, filet of sole
bonne femme, broccoli, potatoes and coffee"
Wendy is extremely fond of eggs and she

been brought to the boiling point and to which
little Worcestershire sauce has been added.
The result is very savory dish, especially
pleasing at luncheon or supper in the warm
weather.
Equally nice for a more formal warm
weather meal are the very small roasting
chickens which Wendy prefers to any other
meat course and which we illustrate on this
page, together with vegetables that are at
once colorful and appetizing.
1T is roast chicken that we usually serve
when we have people in to dinner" Wendy
says Sometimes we have roast potatoes
with it, but often we prefer stuffed baked
potatoes, with minced ham mixed into the
potato after the interior has been scooped out
and mashed and before it is put back in the
skins. For salad, we'd probably use avocados

Varied Attractions of Citys Beautiful Parks Provide
 Facilities for Pleasure, Recreation
By JAMES CURTIN Superintendent of Parks

Waterbury'S five large parks and eleven playgrounds offer 8 fine outlet. twelve months in the year. for the surplus energies and phy- sical development of thousands upon thousands of the city.s yo- ng- sters. In spring, summer. fall, or winter, children of all ages take ad- vantages of the clean and whole some recreational facilities and &C., ttyities provided in the parks.
 Varied Recreation
 From the shaded iaaby swing areas to the unlimited eKpanses of the baseball and athletic fields, the youngster of Waterbury may find many ways of whiling away the play hours. After aal, whether he be four or forty the big thing in an individuals life Is where he plays. This is especially true of the very young boy or girl. It Is at play that he learns the lessons of fair play. team work, and cooperation, learns to get on with his fellows. Adequate facilities and supervised recreation are the answers in 8 S4Gy oOSl1 WdICIOWJs Ae4 ACC" reation program is fashioned after the idea that organized play, under capable and sympathetic leader ship, develops mind, as0dy. and character. Fair play and self con- trol, which is always stressed, are combined with physical activity in playground games.
 The playgroundS with their null ti-fold activities and apparatus. all In the open air are bound to have beneficial effects on Ehe child. Many times, too numerous to men, tion, the general public does not appreciate the important part which the parks play in the lives of the youngsters, from the days when he is brought to the park and permitted to toddle and crawl on the grass, until he is a full fledged athlete hitting home runs on the baseball diamond or breaking rec ords on the track or field.
 Facilities
 Each stage in the development of the child, from infancy to man. hood, is made more fruitful and happier by means Of the play ground, it's facilities and programs. Competent supervisors. through their teachings. help the children grow into socially minded and so- cially useful adults.
 Our department employs much care in the selection Of the recre- ational program offered. Arts and crafts, designed to keep little hands and minds busy in leisure time, hold prominent spot in the pro- gram. Our supervisors are given special training in which 8 know ledge of games is most important. The playground worker who knows the most games is usually the most popular with the children. Story telling is another activity which is rapidly gaining in popularity, not only among the tots but also the bigger youngsters.

and asked for information. The
reply I received - which went
lengthily into details--contained
this statement that 1 found par
ticularly interesting:
"The so-called Florida plan was
never officially presented to the
department of agriculture. The
departments only knowledge of
the proposal is confined to news
paper articles and a copy of a
press statement which said that a
Florida producer had discussed
the plan at the White House"
So, after all, the federal gov
eminent did not say "No" to a
proposition from a Florida sugar
concern to give employment to
100000 persons, since no such
proposition was ever made.
Evidently the nationally pronhi-
nent newspaper man and radio
commentator went off at half
cock. 1t is easy to do that sort of
thing if one is not careful to get
the facts! Somebody will say he
has heard that so and so is the
case; another will say he believes
so and so to be the case; third
will assert so and so is the case;
a fourth will declare vehemently
that he knows positively, beyond

the possibility of a doubt, that SO
and so is absolutely the case; and
that it is the doggonedest, all
firedest, outrageousest thing ever
done.
But-had a sugar producing
company in Florida or anywhere
else offered to put more men to
work if permitted to produce
more sugar, the federal govern
ment would have declined the
offer for reasons seemingly fair
enough if one digs into the why
and the wherefore.
The United States can consume
only so much sugar. There are
certain sugar producing areas
which the United States is duty
bound to protect and patronize-
principally, the Virgin islands,
the Philippine islands, Puerto Ri
CO, Hawaii, Cuba, and the cane
sugar and the beet sugar areas, in
the United States. In order to
give each of these areas break,
our congress passed sugar aCI
allowing to each what was con-
sidered to be its fair share, of our
sugar trade. To allow any one of
those areas to distribute in this
country more than its allotted
share of sugar would upset the
balance.
True, the suger producers in
the United States do not make
nearly all the sugar the United
States consumes; they could make
and sell more in this country if
permitted to do so; but that would
work a hardship on the other su-
gar producing areas to which our
country is obligated. For in
stance, it would destroy Cuba
were we to buy from her only
What sugar we could not produce
in the continental United States
and in our insular possessions. No
fair-minded American would want
that done.

Dear Editor:
Have read with more than pass
ing interest a front page story in
The Times-News of December IA,
under the heading, "City Asked
to Take Steps for Widening of
Caswell and Crab Creek Streets"
According to my way of think
ing, this is one Of the best moves
that the city of Hendersonville
can take for that particular Sec
ton. of the city. The bottle neck
thru this section is a menace to
life, limb and property and espe-
cially so to the youngsters who
walk to and from school and have
to use the narrow thorough-fare
several times each day. Then
there are many elderly pedes-
trians, who have to use this lane
of travel going and coming from
town.
The writer has a little home
just beyond the city limits on
Crab Greek road and spent sew
eral months there this past sum-
mer and fall. Had to make many
trips to and from town each day,
and on several occasions, saw
many narrow escapes, particular
ly thru the bottle neck section of
this road.

Kanuga road is one of the finest

NAZIS BORROW u. S. GANGLAND
TECHNIQUE --
(By BRUCE CATTON)


(By BRUCE CATTON) ,
There is reason for everything IN this
world. and if you want to understand why
the Hitler government is cracking down so
hard on the Jews you might consider the
economic crisis that is developing so fast
in Germany. ,.-. I'D.
During 1888, according to recent Unit
ed Press dispatch, new loans amounting to
some S3,2OO,O0O,0O0 were floated, bring
ing the nations total Indebtedness up to
$2O,OOO,OO0, 900. This is almost entirely an
internal debt - money owed by the Ger
man government to the German people.
The government continues to operate at an
annual deficit estimated at $4,000, 100000,
the nations prosperity depends on govern
rnent orders, and it is an open question
whether in the near future this will not
push the nation up to the edge of disas-
hOuS initiation.
Such figures make dry reading, but they
are the only background against which the
recent pogroms can be understood.
For the essential fact about this wave of
anti-Jewish savagery is that it is financial
measure. The technique perfected by Ma
chine Gun Kelly and Ace Bailey is being
Used cold-bloodedly by the German gov
eminent. A brief review of the facts will
make this perfectly clear.
First, there is the ''fne" that is being
collected from Germany's Jews. The first
installment of this S4OO,O0O,OOO is going
into the Reich's treasury now, and more
will follow.
Hand in hand with this goes the rest of
the 'restrictive program by which the Jews
arctic be mulcted of their last pennies.
All free professions are now closed to
Jews. By the end of the year the retail
trade will be closed to Jews. Jews must
sell all their investments in industry and
real estate. They cannot get ordinary jobs
because, as Jews, they cannot obtain the
needed labor passes. .'"
The ultimate effect of this is tragically
obvious. German Jews are barred either
from earning a living or from making their
capital work for them. They must live on
their savings, and things are fixed so that
sheir savings will vanish rapidly. 1t has
Been estimated that German Jews when
The pogrom began owned property worth
from II to 20 billions of marks. All of this
is to be pumped into the leaky financial
basket of the Reich.
When it is gone, what happens? Then a
German Jew must either emigrate, receive
support from Jews abroad--or die If he
emlgrates, the government sees to it thai
a species of ransom is first paid. If he get
help from abroad, the money is simply
pumped into the German trade stream
Only if he dies does he cease to be sourct
OF cash to his oppressors.
Reviewing all of this, one can see tina
the whole scheme is nothing but a giganti
rhoney-raising racket. The technique O.
American gangdom has been made a fun
damental policy of a great nation. Thos

DOW IT'S DONE: The leyman

knows something is taking place
but must look to the astronomers
to make it plain. We get this
from an encyclopedia about the
solstice:
"The inclination of the earth's
equator to the ecliptic or plane
of its annual motion about the
sun is the cause that the latter is
during half the year on the north
ern polar side Of the equator, the
other half on the southern, caus-
ing the vicissitudes of summer
and winter to the respective. hem
ispheres. The two points at which
this apparent northern or south
ern motion ceases are the sum-
mer and winter solstices. At these
periods the day is the longest or
shortest, according as the earth is
in the summer or winter solstice."
Simple, isn't it! .. .
THE NEXT STEP: And when
you think you have a somewhat
faint idea of what it is all about
the astronomers will take you in
to space and tell you how the
earth makes a revolution every
"a hours and completes its circle
around the sun in a year. Then
they leap into space and tell you
that the sun also has its poles and
equator and that it revolves
around something else for thou
sands of years before it completes
the circular revolution.
At any rate, the days are grow
ing longer.
