Lovely Star Has Best Role
In Star Dust Al The

Most folks start at the bottom ant

But not dark-eyed Linda Darnell
who has been called the screens
loveliest and most exciting star.
She achieved overnight stardon
in her very first screen role!
And now, in her third picture,
"Star Dust" the 10th Century-FoS
film which comes to the Royal thea
tire on Monday, she brings to the
screen a tale that might very well
be a chapter out Of her OWL meteo-
rio rise to fame.
For it casts her and her leading
man, John Payne, as two plucky
small-town youngsters, scrapping for
their place in the sun and finding
out things about love in the great
adventure that is Hollywood.
In the story, which has been de-
scribed as the most original enter
tainment idea in years, Linda is dis
covered by a talent scout brought to
Hollywood, tested, sent home heart
broken because of her extreme youth,
and wins overnight stardom in her
second try.

theatrical work again and send the
studio new photographs from time to

Linda left Hollywood, m~oist-eyed
but determined to come back.
Then day, she received a wire
from the studio informing her to

 So I did. Thta's why don't think this"
 He left his sentence hanging, carefully lifted another box lid. This box of light metal, had been clamped shut and was larger than the first. He reached to touch fab rics seen in there.
 Clothing" said he. Mans clothing. Rather good quality, too. American style :. Seems to be three or four suits, shirts, hats even"
 There are other boxes like that Wes."
 They peered in each in turn, careful to disturb nothing. Two more had clothing, and on one pair of trousers was cartridge bet. Next box had metal band around ioo, but was not locked.
 I'll bet know what's in that already" said Wes.
 "What?" Bonnie spoke in awed whisper again, stopping low and shading her eyes the better to see.
 He didn't answer. He merely lifted lid. There in perfect order were three rifles, short but of powerful caliber; also 10 auto matic pistols which Wesley said were of foreign make. Holsters en- cased each.
 And in a second compartment were heavy little boxes of ammu- milton packed not as cartridges usually come but in metal clips for quick loading and reloading of the weapons.

CHURCHES TRAIN
 UNARMED CORPS

Grand Ledge, Mich, Dec. T. CUP)-Hoping to set an example for other sects which preach con- scientious military objection, poten- tial draftees of the Seventh Day Adventist church throughout Michi- gan have organized an army with out guns" to prepare voluntarily for conscription.
 Fos seven hours each Sunday 400 young men in jaunty overseas caps and uniforms of green twill TuEE and drill at the Adventist camp ground near here. If there is war they will not fight but may be Of incalculable value.
 Their organization, an innovation in military preparedness, is called a Medical Cadet Corps, and each volunteer will take a minimum of 2l6 hours of training in basic mili- tary science, military and litter drilln, anatomy, physiology, first aid, and emergency nursing procedure.
 Members of 180 Michigan church. es are eligible to enroll in the corps, and supplementary instruc- ton is offered in many of the churches on weekday nights. Also included in the curriculum is one hour talk every week at the chapel on the camp grounds.
 Prof. G. M. Mathews of Lansing, designated by the church as ma ajor" in charge of the training program, says its purpose is to cooperate with the national defense program and train our youths to fit har- moniously and efficiently into the nations military machine without violating our religious beliefs"
 Mathews explained that the "ca- detS" not only provide their own transportation, uniforms and meals, but also pay a tuition fee for the privilege of serving their church and their country.
 "Adventists have been officially recognized as non-combatants since the Civil War" according to the camp leader. Many of our faith served during the World War, but they ran into difficulties because they had no training in non-com- batant duties. The cadet corps was organized by our church confer ence to prevent 8 recurrence of this"
 Although the service is designed primarily for men between the ages of 21 and 35, who might be con- Scripted, older men also are parti- cipating.

Bonnie, are you afraid?"
 Wesley whispered, that, looking down at the lovely girl. He gripped her arm too tightly because of his own excitement.
 She hooded, then whispered back. "It's is scary, isn't it? But I'll go in If you will, West"
 ''It appears to be just an ordi- nary cave. Like any of hundreds I can show you about these New Mexico mountains, some small and one - as you know - the great underground cavern at Carlsbad. I don't think this one will be very large"
 "No."
 But it's late. Twilight is getting deeper, Ronnie. See?"
 The sun had dropped behind a peak even before they left the high cliff dwelling to climb down ladders and rocks and then ride here. Rainbow Canyon was fast gathering a purplish, hazy sort of darkness.
 ''Is there a f1ashlight in your pack? Or mine?"
 No" said Wes, but I have some matches"

 Forms began to take shape. The corridor widened to make roughly rounded room like many another cave eroded in the Rocky Noun tains. The floor was fairly level rock and back safely under a sloping rock ceiling were four or five boxes suggesting luggage in size. Wes and Ronnie stared intently - until the flames licked out.
 "Unh-h-h!" Ronnie shuddereo aloud quite involuntarily, then forced a little laugh. "Golly, Wes!"

Zurich, Switzerland +CUP)-Re- gently I landed in Lisbon to find it busy crossroad for the air traf- fic of the three main belligerent na- tions, each of which maintains reg ular weekly service between Lisbon and it's respective capital.
 Three times a week Lufthansa connects Lisbon and Berlin. British flying boats ferry passengers and mail from Lisbon to London and back twice week, while the Italian Ala Littoria does a rush business with Rome four days week by air. The matter of flying boats was a delicate thing at first, for Lisbon has only one harbor and landing place for seaplanes. As all three belligerents had to use the same port, the difficulty was surmounted by having the planes arrive and leave on different days and at dif- | ferent hours.
 At Cintra, few miles from Lis bon where the land airport is sit- uated, there is a door marked Brit ish Airlines" in the administration building, but here the British no longer bring their planes. The day was there, however, an English man was waiting uncomfortably to catch German plane for Madrid l Portugal for hundderS of years has been an ally of Great Britain It is only natural therefore that Lisbon's harbor should be host to many British freighters trading be- tween England and Portugal. The port being the only free gateway left to Europe, also is the shipping point for considerable German business with South America. met French movie actor, bound for the Argentine, whose boat had been held up two weeks waiting for a ship ment of German steel to arrive through occupied France.
 Portugal is doing all 1t can in a ticklish position to maintain fair play. The Germans have naga- zine, printed in at least three lan- guages, which is sold arm in arm, so to speak, with an English mag azine of the same caliber. Both are full of the exploits of their re- spective armies, both try to give the impression of being merely en- tertaining literature.
 These magazines are distributed to dealers free, or for a nominal charge, and the dealer. being iIn- partial, sells them both for what ne can get.
 All news must be sent to the cen ser .neIore it is published. Newspa- pers must match news concerning one belligerent with similar amounts of news from the other belligerentS.
 There is a shortage of neWsprint and each newspaper is limited as to the number of pages it is allowed to print daily. This. combined with censorship, makes publishing some what difficult. The price at which papers can be sold to the public Is fixed by law, so that though pub fishers costs have risen, they can- not pass part of them on to their readers.
