FARM BUREAU
STAGES PAGEANT
AT CONVENTION

A pageant depicting the American
farmers important role in our ma
tional defense will be one of the fea-
ture events of the 22nd annual con-
vention of the American Farm Blu
reau Federation to be held in Bal
timore December 9 to IL, according
to an announcement by G. E. Wise,
Jr., secretary of the Maryland Farm
Bureau.
Sonia Solomonoff, who has direct
ed several outstanding pageants in
recent years, signed a contract to
direct the Farm Bureau pageant
which will be staged in the City
Hall Plaza at 4:45 P. M, on Tues
day, December 10. p. G. Turner, of
Baltimore County, who is president
of the Maryland Farm Bureau, sign
ed the contract on behalf of the con-
yention committee.
Three thousand farmers from
every State in the union are expect
ed to attend the convention, which
will be the largest to be held in Bal
timore this year. Government Off
cials and nationally known authori-
ties will address the business meet
ing. Headquarters will be in the
Lord Baltimore Hotel.
Mr.. Solomonoff plans to have a
cast Of approximately 200 persons
participate in the pageant. The
opening scenes will depict outstand-
ing events in American history, lead
ing up to Salute to the American
Farmer. Agriculturists will be por
trayed as participating in a contin-
nous fight against disaster, floods,
drought, dust storms, ETC., to provide
food for the nation.
"In these days Of war and ru-
mors of war;" Mr.. Solomonoff said,
1--WE are bending every effort to
strengthen our national defense. The
farmer has an important role in this
picture, for he is the bulwark of our
protective forces. An army can't
fight on empty stomachs, nor can a
nation be rebuilt by under nourish-
ed youths.
consequently, I believe the farm
er, who wears no uniform, deserves
appropriate recognition in our nation
nj defense activities"
A stirring portrayal of the defense
of Fort McHenry and the writing of
the Star Spangled Banner will follow
the salute to the farmer, then the
audience will join in pledge of al
legiance to the flag.
1.-THE convention committee be-
ieves this will be most impressive to
the thousands Of visiting agricultur-
ists," Mr.. Turner said. Judging
from all indications, this convention
will be one of the largest in the his
tory of the organizations because our
members are keenly interested in the
agricultural phase of the national de-
tense program. The convention
speakers, am sure, will furnish
them with authentic information of
vital Importance"

DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW

Nursemaid brought from Alabama reads, writes, regularly attends serv- ices in her church, sings in choir. Mar Jane, if you gets wet playin' with 'at hose you is sure to cotch cold" she admonishes her four year old charge.
 Mary Jane finally pauses to reas- sure Amarillo. Marilla, I'm playing all by myself. You can't catch the cri 'cept from some one who has it. So you needn't worry. Daddy and Mother know it is all right"
 The child resumed playing with the hose and pool. The nurSemaid shook her head in earnest disap- proval. Honey, chile, I knows I al- ways cotch cold if get wet and don't take of the wet things right away"
 The problem remains precisely where it was before Amarillo and Mary Jane took it under considera- tion. Amarillo believes what she has been taught to believe. So does Mary Jane.
 The encouraging aspect of it, to my mind, is that Mary Jane, at the age of four years, has no illusions about the nature and cause of the most widespread and preventable ill., ness she is likely to encounter in her lifetime. So far she is infinitely safer than ninety-nine out of hundred children of her age and social class or status.
 One day when Mary Jane was three years old her grand aunt called at her home. Mary Jane had

Gloni6ing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer

 Everyone is clothes conscious these days. Stores are filled with shoppers for fall wardrobes. Women who haven't started to buy yet are busy with lists of needed items and possible color combinations.
 Nobody looks approvingly at the nice prints she liked so much only a month ago. I haven't talked to a single woman in two weeks who hasn't turned the conversation to fall clothes within ten minutes. GET RID OF TAN
 BEFORE CHOOSING
 All of which makes the beauty angle important right now.
 It's mistake to go out to try on new fall clothes unless you have taken time to make sure that you are quite ready for them.
 The smartest black dress won't be as flattering as is possible for it to be if your hair is faded, dull and badly in need of some post summer scalp treatments and new permanent wave.
 And do get rid of your coat of suntan before you choose a color you never have worn before. It may be fine once your suntan has faded, but then again it may not. If you wore the shade last winter, you probably know about this, of course. But if you never have worn 1t be- fore, watch out.
 DON'T SHOP WHEN
 YOU FEEL LOW
 Don't buy 8 dress that seems Q bit too tight with the thought, I'll lose a few pounds before wear it" Either lose the weight before wou go shopping or else buy a dress which fits perfectly at the time, planning t ohave it taken in a little later on.
 Correct whatever posture defects you have before you ask sales woman to show you a thing. Learn to stand tall with stomach fiat, chest high and back straight.
 Don't go shopping on 8 morning when you feel your worst, and look it. Have your hair done and put on fresh makeup before wou start. And try to remember that shopping is fun for the good -natured custom CT, but a horrible ordeal for the bad-tempered one.

AS superbly cut, exquisitely finish ed and essentially wearable models were paraded before the white-tie- -top-hat audience, it was evident to experienced fashion writers that here were the clothes of truly great dressmakers-designerS with more than adequate originality and talent to make New York retain its present place as fashion capital of the world.
 A glittering emerald, as large as a walnut, dangled from slender gold chain about stunning blonde models throat. Rubles were suspend ed from the back or a narrow belt on an afternoon dress. A huge en- ameled, flower-shaped lapel orna- ment had, for a center, diamond that must have weighed twenty carats.

 If only the adult population of the country, especially the health au- thorities and the rank and file of medical practitioners, had as sound and sensible view of the matter as Mary Jane has, what a tremendous amount of illness, surgery, time. money and unhappiness we could save.
 Trouble is that the great majority have been educated as Amarillo was educated, and 1t is so hard to teach old dogs new tricks. This goes for the health authorities and medical practitioners as well as for laymen. After all, my own attitude is not quite so singular as was Johnny's when all the rest of the regiment were out of step. Mary Jane's view of the question is the one which a steadily increasing number of thoughtful, intelligent people have accepted. Health officers or authorities" and medical authors or speakers who con- tinue to get of cracker-barrel hy- potheses explaining how wet feet, drafts, change of weather or any, thing you please to call exposure" lowers resistance and so makes you mcee susceptible to whatever you happen to catch, are getting snicker from good many others besides or Doc Brady these days.
