HOLLYWOOD, Dec. g. Well
take an hours cruise today on the
good ship Ghost, out of San Fran
cisco in the year 1900. Well see
strange sights, and hear strange
things, and we won't get anywhere.
Hope you're not seasick, because
the boat is rolling-even though
the water is calm.
The water below doesn't make
any difference, because the boat
is on rollers. Water ION the walls"
doesn't make any difference, either
because it's just an effect-and
SO natural you could dive in and
almost feel the wetness. THE Sea
Wolf" is already an Improvement
in this respect over THE S e a
Hawk" picture which first used
the new cellophane Horizon"
You're not really crazy. That
fellow in hipboots walking in the
ocean below is just sweeping the
waves. He's scooping up cigarette
butts, bottle tops, and assorted
flotsam from the waves. And that
fellow at the Ghosts wheel isn't
crazy either. Sure, he's not sail
ing the Ghost anywhere, but he's
doing his individual business"
as Director (Skipper) Michael
Curtiz has instructed everybody
to do.
The movie skipper, old Wolf Lar
sen edward G.. Robinson), is hav-
ing a bit of a verbal scrap with
a rebellious youngster fished from
the sea alexander Knox. But
that needn't concern us any more
than it concerns a lot of other
people on deck who r doing
strange things.
Like the fellow named Jimmy
who is keeping the smoke com
ing from the tin smokestacks Of
the cabin behind Wolf Larsen

TWO OUTSTANDING PICTURE SHOWS

especially by all young people,
Edison is spoken of as the wizard, the great
genius, ETC.. and those titles should not be denied
him. However that may be, Edison's great
achievements were not just pleasant easy dreams
true What he did, he accomplished by the
hardest of work and concentration, and a de-
termination to win. In spite of handicaps and
failures he stuck to task until he had it master

ments and the high places they occupied, with it
all was meekness and as Lincoln would ex-
press it, a. love for the common man that made
them all the greater. These things and many
others are brought so effectively in the pictures
But what we started out to emphasize is that
those pictures should be seen by every boy and
girl They portray greater lessons in true Amer
lean patriotism than can be learned in the class
room. In the Lincoln picture so vividly and i'm
pressively is the Great Emancipator portrayed
that people in the audience really feel themselves
living with him, so well is the acting shown on
the screen. Here is another reminder OF the
great services that movies rendering.

We often wonder who the young

we now ask our elders. Then an
other thing we would like to know,
who knows the history OF your
township? Write it down. Recent
ly when questioned about j. w.
Dunaway, we at first thought it was
Donavan, and we remembered the
Donavans at one time owned the
w. O. Workman (Barclay) farm on
76, selling it and buying a large
acreage between Stockport and Dale,
afterward going west. Rose mar
ried Perley Mellor, and has been
dead many years. There was a son,
Clyde, and another daughter, Sue,
who were members of the family.
Who will tell us about the Dun
aways and Donavans?

meals. While over there we visited
the Roy James hatchery and chick

Whatever the criticism of President Roosevelt
may be along other lines when it comes to his
policies abroad we find many of those crit
les, in accord with his policies, believing that he
has sensed the true situation
Recently when he called for $4,000 airplanes
some thought his request was wild and visionary,
but in the face of very recent events abroad, one
can readily see where his reasoning was perfectly
sound, and it is pleasing to note that congress is
backing him up. It may mean higher taxes, but
when we consider what foreign countries are be-
ing made to suffer, because of the worst war in
history. no one should raise the least howl.
America is not in danger of foreign invasion;
neither need we fear the German fleet; but the
danger is in the air, and there is where the Presi
dent recommends the greater Strengthening.
great sea navy, or great Notifications, or well
trained armies in the field, can accomplish but
little in combating the airplane; and the only way
to meet airplane warfare is by the airplane. Hit
Ter never would have made the gains he has had
it not been for the strength of his air force. While
it is true many of the planes have been shot down,
yet he does not feel the loss keenly, since he has
a practically unlimited supply to draw from.
The President saw this from the very beginning
of the war; hence his demand for stronger and
larger air force Germanys air force might
short order prove very serious menace to u.s.
and as stated the only effective way OF COM
batting it would be stronger force.
Another one of the Presidents policies de-
serves special praise, and that is no concern is to
grow rich through the manufacturing of inn
plements.
That the President thoroughly understands
the situation abroad there should be no doubt;
and he is kept constantly informed through the
secretary of state and his diplomatic corps, who
have never yet failed to give him the accurate
information. He believes we should arm our
selves to the limit-not to carry offensive
war, but in order to protect our peace.
