oPPORTUNE INCIDENTS!

There is nothing like concentrated,
aroused public opinion for getting action
on project-especially when that project
has been in a draggy status for prolonged
period
An Opportune incident occurred last
weekend in connection with the aqueduct
line-when it was announced that the
265th Regiment, Eng, would not encamp
here because of lack of water. 1t has been
pretty well established though, that no
question Of water entered into the desig-
nation of Texas site as the training
ground for our Guardsmen
Nevertheless, the announcement
aroused our civic leaders like nothing else
has ever done before. The C. of c. i'm
mediately got busy and "called all cars"
into action, resulting in a meeting being
held in Miami last Friday
Another OppOrtune incident was the
fact that National Democrats were hold
ing big jambOree in the Magic City last
weekend. Our group of grim mouthed
battling citizens were able to contact all
political interests involved in establish

Followed what one official called
''the best meeting he had ever attended"
Differences of opinion-conflicting be-
liefs and misunderstanding, were all laid
out ''On the table" in plain sight and
shaped, more or less, into a unanimity of
beliefs.
Right there, and The Citizen would
stress the point, is the solvent for most of
the ills that beset mankind and its or
CARNATIONS. While differences of opinion
are allowed to simmer under the surface,
thoughts begin to rankle and grow bitter.
Stir the mess up, though, and bring the
wrong thoughts to the surface, and all in
terests come to ready agreement.
So, here we have a picture of
unanimity of thought on the aqueduct
question. That is-major differences have
been worked out 1t gees without saying,
however, that there are still some interest
ing revelations to discuss. More later, on
those

 ON WEEKEND CAPITOL BILL
Big Town Czar' and Man from Music Mountain
 at Local Theatre

Barton MacLane plays the title role in Big Town Czar," which op- ems tonight on the double bill en- tertainmant at the Capitol Theatre.
 He is a New York tenement boy who rises to a top spot in gang sterdom. His method is to turn the heat on rival mobsters-a dan gerous game but a lucrative one, until the chief is in turn double crossed
 Tom Brown is seen as MacLane's younger brother, who joins the mob but proves too ambitious. Eve Ar cen carries the romantic interest. Frank Jenks appears as Sid" Mac Lanes stooge. Walter Woolf King, Jack L2Rue, Jerry Marlowe, Cor don Jones and others are featured.
 Second feature is The Man From Music Mountain starring Gene Au- try. It is far above the average western, and is the best Autry pie ture to date, which is saying some thing.
 The story concerns the revival of an old ghost mining town. An un- scIupulous Los Angeles promoter sells thousands of shares of worth- ] less mining stock and property. on the promise that a water and power line coming from Boulder Dam will bring Gold River back to life. 1 How Gene Autry thwarts the pro- moter. then discovers that mine near Gold River actually has gold in it, brings the story to thrilling climax.

TO CHICAGO TO SAVE
AXE-SEVERED THUMB

Glancing from a knot in a stick he
was cutting, an axe severed cleanly the
thumb on the right hand of Roland
Ericsson at his resort on Big lake.
Ericsson is now in ST. Joseph hospital,
Chicago, where he went by plane the
day following the accident. An at
tempt has been made to save the
thumb or at least the part below the
first joint.
Immediately after the accident, he
was taken by his wife to the Portage
River CCC camp for medical attention
but the doctor was not there. So the
plane of the U. S. forest service was
placed into service and Ericsson brought
to Ely where he was met at the sea-
plane base on Shagawa lake by DR.
Jack P. Grahek who sewed the thumb
back on at the Shipman hospital.
Next day he was taken by plane to
Duluth by William Leithold where
Ericsson continued by plane to Mime
apolis and on to Chicago.
