SAGE and SOIL
By Mrs. Paul Schuller

Well, it has to be something
unusual to make me miss writ
ing. This time it was a small,
squirmy package, known as
Gary Camp, a new and only
nephew. My own are very con-
cerned, knowing him and spoil
ing him, and the dog sulks.
March the first-caravans of
people are sliding and moving
into new homes hoping for a
bountiful year-and cussing the
roads soundly and profoundly.
We have no roads-just a
mess. The timers say it is
just about the same as it was
20 years ago.
The newcomer, Mike Kuchera,
sounds as if he may have some
good ideas. Regardless of his
politics, if he talks roads and
can talk roads, faster than any
other statesman in Helena, and
if his road talk compares with
his advertising, I say let's look
him over-dig all the skeletons
out of his political closet and
do something about this boy.

Politics delight me, but I
never could be a politician, be-
cause for gain, even personal
gain, I just can't play one per-
son or a group of persons
against others. So I stand on
the side lines, and admire and
cheer the people who can do
those things so admirable.

Basedon the musical comedy
which had Broadway audiences
bowling for 235 performances,
The Boys from Syracuse" brings
a brigade of singing stars and
laugh luminaries to the screen of

twin brothers, one an overbearing
Grecian general and the other a
romantic, golden-voiced lad from
Syracuse (Greece). He has twin
slaves, both played by Joe Penner.
Martha Raye is married to one O:
the Penner twins. Irene Hervey is
married to one of the Jones twins

suing situations are among h {
most hilarious ever screened.
A cartoon and novelty will also
be seen on this program.

They also ex- plain in their way how tides were first formed and of the worlds flood. Close touch with Nature led to be- liefs that animals could change themselves into humans at will and that some humans could change into animals.
