POLr's

Teamed romantically for the first time, Ginger Rogers and James Stewart are co-starred in the highly romantic screen comedy. "Vivacious Lady" which opens at the Loew Poli theater Saturday for four day run.
 Miss Rogers, the top-ranking blonde of the screen today, who re- gently won new favor for her dramatic performance in stage Door, returns to the gay. effer- vescent type of comedy which popu- larized her in the series of musical films in which she co-starred with Fred Astaire.
 Virtually an unknown two years ago, James Stewart has scared to a high place in film popularity as a result of his last four hits, Seventh Heaven" "The Last Gangster," Navy Blue and Gold" and "Of Human Hearts"
 In "Vivacious Lady" Stewart es- says the role of 8 represSed botany professor who encounters Ginger Rogers, featured entertainer at 8 nightclub, falls madly in love with her and brings her back to his dig nified home town as his secret bride. The efforts of the couple to keep the boys family in ignorance of the marriage form the basis for most of the hilarious action.
 Although most pictures end with an engagement and a suggestion of future bliss in wedlock, "Vivacious Lady," begins with whirlwind mar riage and swiftly builds up through the complications so typical of mod- ern newlyweds.
 The supporting cast includes James Ellison, Charles Coburn, Beu- lah Bondi, Frances Mercer and Phyllis Kennedy.
 The companion hit, is well-knit production, with an excellent cast, headed by John King, Constance Moore, J. Farrell Macdonald, Larry Blake and William Lundigan, who play their roles to the hilt, as "State Police" whirls rapidly through 8 series of drama packed and roman tic situations with never a let-down.
 Current attractions at Loew's Poli include Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, the Kings of Mirth in Swiss Miss" and Hollywood Stadium Mystery" with Neil Hamilton, Evelyn Venable and radios ace announcer Jimmy Wellington.

 The massive Technicolor picture that has been long-aWaited by all Waterbury comes to the screen of Warner Brothers State theater to- morrow with the presentation of ''The Adventures of Robin Hood"
 Starring Errol Flynn, the hand some Irish star who had such tri- umphs in Captain Blood" and "The Charge of the Light Brigade" as Robin the role he was born to play, the film features Olivia de Havilland, Basil Ratffoone, Claude Rains and a cast of thousands.
 It is the most important picture in many years being considered a masterpiece of screen entertain ment,, and Miss Julia Smith, man. ager of the State theater, takes great pride in being the first to show it locally.
 The familiar tale, descended from English ballads of centuries ago, was seen on the screen some fif- teen years ago when the agile Doug las Fairbanks ST. played the title role. The present Warner Bros. yer sion goes deeper into untold esca- pades and exploits of .he gay ras- cal who plundered the rich to feed the poor.
 It is, of course, famous story, filled with breathless adventure, mighty men and mightier deeds, and lovely ladies who are supposed to have spent most of their days in ivory towers embroidering and weaving. Robin Hood lived, ac- cording to the legends, at the end of a century of adventure that has no equal in history or fiction.
 Sherwood Forest, Nottingham Castle ard all the other locales so familiar from song and story are beautifully recreated on the screen.

 Randall, as you'll remember, was winner of second prize in THE MOST POPULAR BABY CONTEST last year and we've been predicting great things for the boy who made such an excellent race for first honors last year. Now, he's in the race with a vigor such as he showed last year and his first submission of subscriptions brought him 2,0O0 votes, which, with the 500 for en- tering, gives him the nice total of 2,500 votes.
 Lots of the candidates are show ing strength this third week of voting but none has reached very close to the total of the leader, Margaret Lemere, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Lemere of 2G5 South Main street, whose supporters pre- dict that she's going to get many more votes within few days. Mar garet. who sometimes takes her sunny smile along when Mrs. Le- mere seeks support for her candi- date, now has 6,200 votes plus, the "plus" being for some subscriptions which have not been made official yet in the tabulations. If these "plus" votes are added, Margaret will advance her lead.

the widespread popularity OF what
P. w. A. has to offer the country as
evidenced by the concerted rush to
obtain P. w. A. projects. I author
ized taking applications for new prof.
ects late in May and the first were
received about June l. The 1888 act
was signed by President Roosevelt
June 81 and applications then began
to now at constantly accelerated speed
Industry in general has realized
that this type of program actually does
prime the pump" although that term
has been subjected to notorious
amount of abuse and free interpreta-
ton. The ''priming' that comes to
American industry from the P. w. A.
program, however, comes in meas
urable amounts of specific orders for
materials and supplies that
careful compilation by disinterested
agency has shown have kept the
wheels of many of our corporations
moving during lean days.
Two Facts Stand Out.
As the course followed by p w. A.
Is reviewed. two important facts stand
out. One is that, almost paradoxical-
ly, while the Nation was in the throes
of a great depression, it made its
greatest progress in improving its
public plant and increasing its real
wealth in the form of new schools,
new municipal buildings, new bridges,
streets, libraries, hospitals, subways
tunnels, harbor and terminal facilities
and the like.
AS method of battling the depres
sion and diverting its destructive
forces, we launched what probably
has been the greatest single program
Of public improvement in our his
tory. The result is that because of a
depression our educational facilities
have been amplified many times, the
national system of highways has been
extended and improved. diseaserid-
den slums have been torn out and
good housing put in their place, and
in general our physical municipal
plants have been refurbished and re-
built. All this certainly meant the
conversion of an i'll wind into one
form Of general good.
The second fact of importance is
that We have learned to guage and
direct the multiple economic forces
which come into play in a public
works program. so that in the future
we can guide a public works program
in the direction in which it will do
the most good.
Job Creation Studied.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics of
the United States Department of Labor
undertook with the cooperation of the
P w. A. to measure these quantities
Tn exact proportion. AS a result,
that agency was able to determine that
for every hour of employment created
at the site of P. w. A. construction,
two and half times as much work
was generated in regular industrial
employment - furnishing, creating,
transporting and distributing supplies
and materials. 1t determined how
much employment was cerated, di-
rectly and indirectly, in the construc-
tion Of public building. or a reclama-
ton project, or a water or sewage
project. 1t found out what types Of
project would take up the slack" in
the lumber industry and lumber areas
in the machinery business, the stone,
clay and glass industry, or the chem
tcal business.
Never again will we have to strike
out as We did once, blindly but hope
fully. Thus We have learned as we
have built

Quiet Nazareth.

The gentle heart of the Holy Land,
q pilgrim center for centuries, has
scores Of spots with hallowed memories.
Except for few buildings, the village
Of Nazareth is unchanged since the
time Of Christ. The streets are narrow
and dark, but clean and even elegant
with a population mild and intelli-
gent. Many sites are legendary, Mary's
well at the foot of the hill, the car
penter shop Of Joseph. Easy motor
excursions go to the Sea of Gaililee,

wanderings along its shores. Trains
run from there to Haifa, the port. The

Are still full of natural peacefulness.

taxation must be enacted to pay the
stupendous cost of government and
the interest on the greatest debt in
our history.
The only alternative to increasing
taxes at great rates is reducing the
cost Of government. But to date none
Of the administration leaders has
mentioned reduction of governmental
costs as means toward the end of
balancing the Federal budget and
meeting debt obligations.
Asset to Taxpayers.
1t cannot be expected that reorgan-
ization of the Federal Government
could be made to bring into balance
excessive expenditures and insufficient
revenue. But very definite and tan
gible asset to Federal taxpayers and
prospective new taxpayers might be
made the results of proper reorgani-
zation within the bounds of tried
fundamental principles for economy
and efficiency, for elimination Of
wastefulness and extravaganza and
duplication in governmental activity
and expenditures, for abolition of USE
less and overlapping agencies and
functions.
The current admission by our lead
ers that increased taxation is con-
templated is sufficient reason for i'm
mediate reorganization for economy
and efficiency, even if there were not
others equally imperative and equally
obvious to all who take the trouble to
look about themselves.
The distressing thing about Federal
Government reorganization is that 1t
is not in progress at the moment-for
economy and efficiency. 1t might
easily have been if those who took
the initiative in the reorganization
proposals of last year had made econ
omy and efficiency, beneficial to
citizens and taxpayers, an objective
of the program. But they did not.
Therefore, we who sought reorgan-
ization for the benefit of those who
pay the bills as we'll as those who spend
the money were forced to fight the
proposals in order that reorganization
for economy and efficiency might have
a chance to live and be eventually
enacted.
Fight Was Successful.
The fight was successful and, al
though delayed, the advocates of re-
organization with emphasis on
economy and efficiency are looking
forward to an opportunity to support
a reorganization program which has
for its purpose fearless and thorough
going reorganization of the Federal
Government that will reduce the num-
ber of agencies now nearly twice as
numerous as they were five years ago
without impairing necessary functions
and objectives; that would apply the
brakes to the record breaking debt;
that would deter the upward trend of
taxes; that would expedite and SIM
plify dealing with Government agen-
cies; that would strengthen inde-
pendent accounting and auditing of
Government fiscal affairs: that would
preserve the independence OF the three
branches of the Government; that
would facilitate relief for those who
need it.
The constructive approach to Gov
ernment reorganization is toward the
dual objective of economy and eff
cheney. The sum of these is simplifica-
ton.
Such reorganization program with
the definite detectives of economy, eff
cheney and simplification I believe
would be quickly enacted, and this
much needed legislation no longer
delayed.
