Attic Fan

AS the time for charting Spring
repairs approaches the home owner
should consider means of making
his house more comfortable during
the hot summer months.
One method of effectively reduc-
ing the temperature in the home
during warm weather is through
the use of an attic ventilating fan
which circulates cool air through
the house and exhausts warmed
air through the attic.

NEW TECHNIQUE

Hitler has revealed a new tech

Napolean and a lot of other wise
guys over in the other world musl
feel like a bunch of chumps as they
look on. The only way they knew
how to do it was to sacrifice a lot
of lives and spill gallons of blood
They didn't have enough sense to
go a title slow and win all their
aim. and ambitions by the subtle
method of propaganda.
Hitler wins his conquest by
agitation, the creation of dissatis-
faction. the suggestion of oppres-
sion the necessity of expansion.

And now, the United States is

We are giving Germany to under

we will fight with them for the

credit due us in the offer. We
haven't taken the stand until now
when there is nothing else for us
to do. We see, now, that it is the
only thing left for us to do.
IT'S ALL SELFISH
1t is all selfish. We still are not
so much concerned about what
happens to England and France as
we are about what will happen to
us. We are not doing any gracious

OUT OF THE INKWELL
Continued from poss four

Away from his studio and his inven-
tions, Max Fleischer seems a little
lost. You suddenly notice his gray
hair and his graying mustache. Il was
born with the mustache," he says, a
bit vaguely.
Fleischer dislikes riding in a car
unless he drives himself He considers
himself the perfect driver. Nobody
thinks of the gas or the oil or the
gears, he explains, except me"
He admits one general enemy -
doctors: and he loves to put things
over on them. Recently physicians
have been demanding that he rest
He says yes, and gets to the studio
next day at eight, staying on to five
in the afternoon.
The doctors insist that he put some
thing into his stomach every three
hours. He has habit of forgetting to
eat. when he gets started working on
an idea. So his secretary pursues him
about the studio with watch and
glasses of buttermilk.
The fantastic Fleischer touch is as
apparent in his home as in his studio.
Located on Meridian Avenue in
Miami Beach, his house is seven
room Spanish-type air-conditioned
bungalow. The place is illuminated
at night by blue f1oodlights. Maybe
that is his touch of whimsey. Fleischer's
own study. small and cozy. is crowded
with books of fairy tales.
Fleischer is very fond of music. On
social evenings at home he gets to-
gether with several old friends who
play the piano and violin, shyly plays
the mandolin or guitar himself. and
makes records of the result. Later he
sits by himself for hours, listening to
the records.
Max has been married for some
thirty years. Happily married." we
asked He seemed puzzled. isn't that
what marriage is for - happiness?"
he asked He has son, Richard, at
college, and a daughter. Ruth, who
married his chief artist. Seymour
kneitel.
The Fleischers are all proud of
their little. soft-spoken, pioneering
Max. They understand his reticence
and his dislike for publicity. Through
the years they have pulled for his sue
cess. And they are happy in his skill
with this vast, magic business which
started with a spot on Brooklyn
parlor rug.
THAT spot" sighs Fleischer. Il
suppose you must mention it, what?
My wife almost has forgotten it,"

HE'S IRIsH-BuT WHO IS HE ?

4 DHEN man talks about him
"" self he generally speaks with

is self-description by a well known
author who admits he does not know
much about himself, 50 it ought to be
fun to guess who he is.
Il am genuine typical Irishman of

are almost all men. They earn between
sos and $3.50 a week. In all America
there are less than five hundred quail
fed, able animators.
Top artists at the plant are Louis
Jambor, Shane Miller and Robert
Little. 1t was Jambor who hit upon
the fantastic background that is used
for Gulliver's Travels. 1t is actually
made up of coral formations that he
discovered about Biscayne Bay.
One of Fleischer's younger brothers,
Dave. is really his partner in making
comedies Dave sees things in terms
of laughter Max in terms of fantasy.
Max is shy and retiring, avoiding
publicity. Dave, on the other hand,
will enter a restaurant and start clown
ing with the orchestra leader. As pro-
duction head of the studio. Dave
supplies lot of the comedy ideas
Besides Dave, Max is surrounded
by three other brothers. Louis is head
of the music department. Joe directs
the machine shop. Charles supervises
the repair staff.
Fleischer moved his studio to Florida
because he believed his workers would
be more creative, as we'll as happier
and healthier in tropical surround
ings He thinks they need, as he puts
. it, loose clothing SO your imagina-
ton can work" We walked into the
patio of his studio and saw lot of his
girl employees sitting about in tropic
pajamas and shorts 1t was noon hour.
Max obviously was pleased. "So! he
chuckled. Healthy and happy. You
see, all a matter of clothes" But he
himself comes to his Miami studio as
formally dressed as if he we're on his
waytoa Wall Street directors meeting.
Fleischer worked out every detail of
the studio himself. The whole plant is
conditioned and there is indirect
lighting throughout Fleischer's own
office looks like drugstore. That's
because he is eternally experimenting
with the effect of various chemicals on
cellulold, ink and film. In my spare
time. as he puts it.
His only concession to Hollywood
ideas in his studio IS system of loud
speakers. An announcer calls the name
of anyone wanted for anything impor-
tant Il had to do it," he apologized
Efficiency" As he was talking. the
loudspeaker began calling his own
name. We called his attention to it.
YES. he sighed. with a shrug. paying
no further attention whatever to the
voice of efficiency.

FSA Helps Formers Solve
Home Problem

John and Mary Farmer and their
family, tenants on some 10000 farms
in Arkansas, Louisiana and Missi5-
sippi and several thousand landowners
will breathe a sigh of relief this fail
because they will not be confronted
with the yearly moving problem.
Feeling that FSA clients would
have a better opportunity to become
self-supporing, if they did not have
to move from n farm to another
each year, Farm Security Admins
tration officials in Region vi this
year have sold tenants and land
owners on the idea of having written
leases, said T. Roy Reid, Regional
Director.
Annual moving from n farm to
another costs the average tenant OF
sharecropper family about $50 a year
and the landowner loses directly CT
indirectly at least the same amount"
a survey of the Nation reveals. BY
effecting the leases we believe that
tenants and owners have saved about
1900, 900 in This region alone. II we
use the national average rs q basis
for the estimate.
Saving Of the money is Just one
way of conserving the of
the tenants and the landowners and
Of the many benefits OF the
written farm lease" said Mr.. Reid.
THE leases NEAR that the tenant
will be able to plant cover crops to
conserve the rented soil and to en-
rich 1t. Such a practice mean in
creased returns during the follow
ing years. To the landowner it means
that his soil is being well fed-that
the fertility is being restored and not
mined,
If a tenant has a written lease N
a farm for a period of a year, with
the privilege of renewing it each year,
it provides an incentive for HIM to
make his home more attractive and
inspires him to greater achievements.
To the owner such care of the prop
erty means less repairs and a great
er income.
In Holmes County, 256 farm fami-
lies have written leases, said B. F.
Wiley, R. r.. Supervisor.

Park Your Cor Right

For about two years parking in the middle of the
street in Durant has been permitted.
The Mayor and Board of Aldermen have now pass
ed an order prohibiting parking in the middle of the
street because they feel that public sentiment is against
il and public safety demands it.
Now that the Board has passed that order it seems
to us that the least the citizens of Durant could do would
be to make an effort to abide by the law in every re-
spect.
1t seems that we, out of common courtesy and
wanting to do the right thing, would want to make an
effort to park properly as well as drive properly and
not try to take up two or three spaces when parking.
So when you are parking that automobile look where
you are going. 1t isn't so big that you can't get il direct
~ between two OF the yellow lines drawn for parking.
After all, another fellow is going to want to come
along and park beside you. If you aren't parked pron-
erly you might get hit-which would serve YOU right,
Even II you don't get hit you might get a ticket.
And wouldn't that be something
