Choosing Companions in Service,
Mark 3:7-19, 31-35, for Sunday,
Feb. 20:
Why do people follow Jesus?
What were the credentials or
Christ's disciples?
What are essential elements OF
Christian companionship?
Why did Jesus not choose the
more educated to be his disciples?
What are some of the privileges
which we have a right to assume
if we are closely related to Jesus?
Glorious says: "Jesus' call for
companionship is universal. The
twelve chosen as Christ's disciples,
his intimate companions, were Sc
lected because they were willing to
follow him. Jesus takes any and
all who will accept him. The high
est form of companionship is Chris

MRS. BLANCHE DRAKE FORREST
COMPLINIENTED


The following is taken from "The
Pure Oil News" published at Chi
cago:
Mrs. Blanche Drake Forrest, pop
ular receptionist on the 22nd floor
of the Chicago offices, is perhaps
the most widely known member OF
the fair sex in the Pure Oil organi-
zation, for during the year she con-
facts literally thousands Of Pure
Oilers and other visitors. Her
maiden name was Blanche Drake,
and she was born and reared near
Waterford, o. In 1909 she was
married to Clarence H. Forrest, who
was at that time employed by the
B. & o. railroad, but since Novem-
ber, 1880, Mr.. Forrest has also been
employed by the Pure Oil company
in the traffic department. On jan
uary 20, 1888, Mrs. Forrest COM
pleted eighteen years of continuous
service for the company, having first
been employed in Columbus office
in 1920 At that time she was In
charge of the telephone ROOM and
Chicago when the company moved
their head offices from Columbus
to Chicago in 1926. A year later
she assumed charge of the reception
room on the executive floor at Chi
cago, which position she still re-
tains. Her quiet, unassuming, dis
eliminating personality has made
her particularly suitable for po-
sition of this nature. Mr. and Mrs
Forrest reside in Rogers Park.
Mrs. Forests husbands mother
is a sister of Mrs. Jesse Sherman OF
this place.

presSionS on the faces of Marie and Annette when the Prince dances with Cinderella. They are supposed to look envious-and they sure did. It was real, absolutely. You would have thought those little kids could really feel jealousy.
 And Emile did a magnificent job of parading around with the slipper. She was the Prince, you know. She came in carrying that slipper very proudly and after a couple of turns around the room got to the part of the story where she tries it on the sisters.
 "well, she got so ambitious there 8 couple of times that she was practically lying on the floor try ing to get the darn slipper on the sisters feet. It was acting with a vengeance, but it wasn't in the script"
 The only really tragic incident in the whole Cinderella" produc- tion came when Marie put her foot right through a gown as she was donning it. She grew very sad and, although Miss Marie wouldn't know the business end of a needle from the other, she offered to help nurse fix the gown.
 The other kids hocked around, of course, to hold conference on the problem.

Quints Are Coming To Town, Play-Acting Out "Cinderella'
Watch for the First Episode Tomorrow

Finally there was the day when Yvonne hatly told her nurse that she was through getting her pictures taken. In trying to finish his work before Yvonne's attitude became ir- flexible, Davis ran back toward his camera and tripped over light cable.
 Yvonne roared with laughter. Her unwillingness to be photographed vanished. But Davis-who is 40 or SO -shudders at the idea of what he may have to do hereafter to get Yvonne to cooperate.
 "All the girls are swell, natural little actresses" reports Davis. T wish you could have seen the ex-

The whole family will want to follow the Canadian cuties in Gin derella. Callander critics, who are never very critical of the five lov- able little Dionnes, say this new picture play is the best yet.
 And remember: pictures of the quints appear exclusively in The Waterbury Democrat in your terri tory.
 Acting out Cinderella was lot of fun for one and all around the nursery here in Callander, and the quints themselves had more fun than anyone else.
 Yvonne, you know, is the No. 1 actress of the quintuplet troupe. It's not that the other girls lack talent. It's merely that Yvonne already shows the variety of mood, the ten- dency to lord it over everybody, the stubborness and the lovablenesS that usually goes with being the first lady of the company.
 When Fred Davis, NEA Service pIlOUOSTdpIer, UcSdA SAlOOGAA4S IAAC Cinderella" picture series, the fa- nous five were cast as follows:
 Emilie-Prince Charming.
 Cecile-Fairy Godmother.
 Marie and Annette-The Sisters. Yvonne-Cinde
 Now any actress would give her eye-teeth to play the juicy, many sided part of Cinderella. Why, that's like being Scarlett O'Hara. But when it came time to cry Lights! Camera!" the disconnected Davis found Yvonne wouldn't get down on hands and knees to scrub" the floor as the script required. In fact, she was crying.
 The producers comprising Fred Davis and a nurse-called a hurried conference. The second half of the producers, being practical psy- chologist, suggested that Yvonne didn't like being in old clothes when the other kids were wearing such lovely ones.
 So Fred started the Cinderella"

of the last ten years. It was an old-fashioned crime.
 In its essential features it was just plain footing. The criminals merely footed the great drug company of it's physical stocks took them out like any burglar and carried them away.
 About that kind of crime we do not have to trouble so greatly. The public is absolutely opposed to it. The laws denouncing it are plain and there is a district att torney's office and police force which goes to work on it sooner or later with inevitable vigor. MAKE IT HARDER
 FOR SAFE ROBBERS
 There will be demands for this reform and that one, this amend ment and that to the law. And the laws will be slightly improved and the way of the burglar-the fellow who steals physical assets or who actually rifles Safe-will be made 8 little harder, which is as it should be, in spite of the fact that it is already quite hard.
 But when all is said and done the McKeSSon & Robbins crime amount ed in the end to 10 or 15 or 20 million dollars to be determined but merely a flea bite.
 What really is serious are those far more intricate, more subtle forms of stealing which are not against the law, which are, indeed, more or less respectable and which run the national loss into perhaps billions of dollars each year.
 It is all the difference between the fellow who breaks into a bank at night and makes of with the cash and the insider who, by clever, legal but deadly devices, manages to permit the banks assets to trickle slowly into his hands.
 The disturbing feature of this is that there are no laws against much of this kind of crime, which is loosely included under the head of exploitation, even after all the skull druggery of the '20s and there is little demand for doing anything about it.
 MANY ROBBERIES
 WITHOUT A GUN
 It is still unlawful and messy and rude to go into a store, hold up the owner at the point of a gun and loot his cash register.
 But there are ways of going in- to store, pointing stock certi- cate at the owner and making him hand over the cash with a smile, but which deprives the own- CTS of his cash is effectively-and essentially as criminally-as if it were done with blackjack.
 The McKesson & Robbins thriller cost no lives, save Coster'S, made perfectly thrilling reading and cost only a few millions. But it filled us with a fever for reform al- though not for reform of the cute schemes by which less interesting but infinitely more costly burglaries are committed.

 That pleased the leading lady no end. She immediately began CO., operating, and the producers grad ually moved her from her finery back to the point where the story and the costumes-should logically start.
 Yvonne co-operated so much that by the time she sat at the fireplace (you know, when the sisters have gone off and left her alone) she wouldn't do anything but laugh.

The act the Four Casting Campbells Hiliars selection in The Billboard that year. The troupe then was made up of Lou and William CrOnan, the late Harry BOrdner and Charles Barlow. Hiiar chose them because they practically stopped the show in opening position, ba- they truthfuy called the aces of aerialism because they kept everyone gasping, wondering what was going to happen next and because they made it easy for all the other acts to follow them at the COm bia Theater in New York.
