We promise not to be that way,

Luncheon at this point is inter-
rupted by motherly looking woman
who comes to the table carrying a

Deanna will and does. As the
woman departs, she comments with
reference to the accent:
sShe is from Louisville, isn't she?"

learning to play the harp, read
poetry and the like, for using up
the extra time she will have when

are downright luxurious.
That trip of hers to Washington
couple of years ago still is a
pretty memory. Hardie Meakin,
maharajah of Keith's, was a perfect
host and she feels that the four
days OF sightseeing in Washington
were marvellous" Mount Vernon
and the F. B. I. were her favorite
points on the tour. She would like
to return and do them both again,
and cover a great deal more ground
than last time.
AS 1t does every one else in the
movie business. the idea of being
guest at a Presidents Birthday Ball
is one that pleases Deanna. She
would have come along to the last
one If 1t had not been for work,
school, vocal lessons. and a COM

She has great many questions
to ask about Washington. Unlike
every one else here, however, she

Universal is very happy about
Deanna's having reached her pres
sent state of maturity.
Between now and her next pic
ture, Spring Parade" she will
have finished school, Thereafter,
she will be allowed to work on an
adults basis, no more time out for
that three hours of tutoring daily.
1t will greatly shorten the shooting
schedule on her pictures and that
means lowered production costs.
Her pictures have required some
thing like twice the shooting sched-
ule of others of similar scope and
nature. Universal is glad schools
out and it is easy to understand
why.
Deanna is glad, too. What with
voice lessons and picture making
and school work, her last four
years have been busy ones. She
has thrived on them, she feels, and
so does every one else, but she
would like a bit more time to
herself. -
What will you do with it?" we
wanted to know.
"Ah." said Deanna, II have q
new harp out at the house and I
want to get busy with it,"
In addition to that. she will go
on perfecting her badminton game,
which she feels is pretty good but
considerably less than perfect,
swim, have dates. and make pic
lures as often as the studio thinks
she should. That will be two or
three a year.
Picture making also will change
for Deanna now that she has grown
up. Heretofore, the scripts from
which she has worked have been
created to considerable extent on
the set. Producer Joseph 'Pasternak
has followed that system on the
assumption that giving Deanna her
dialogue and business on the floor
twere learning the lingo, see) has
given her pictures a freshness and
naturalness they might not have
otherwise.
\ \ X
Hereafter, her scripts will be
handed to her in advance and in
the complete form other players
get them. She will be required to
learn her. dialogue in advance.
No one is afraid the changed
method will modify or alter the
spirit Of her pictures. She simply
has grown up and is being treated
accordingly.
In her calm way, Deanna admits
. feeling she has missed some
things that other youngsters have
had chance to study and enjoy.
Poetry, for instance. She likes
poetry, but has had very little time
to do anything about 1t.
Where shall start?" she wants

Levi j. Burd
Resigns Judgeship
By Stewart Hazlett

At the last meeting Of the old
council not much occurred. except
of one fact, the resignation of l..
J. Burd as tribal judge. A few
bills of minor Importance were
authorized paid but the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Burd was a surprise
and to many of the Blackfeet. the
resignation really hurt.
Mr.. Burd was appointed as
judge upon the death of the late
John Hunsberger. For the past
eighteen months or so. Levi Burd.
one of the fairest minded men
that ever lived. tried his utmost,
to fulfill all the requirements of
the law and still be Humanitarian
in all his decisions. 1t is to his
credit that he has done so and
his resignation at this time is GER
tain to prove catastrophe to the
tribe. With his broad insight in
tribal affairs. having personal
knowledge of the individuality
and background of each and every
one who appeared before him as
a Judge, he saw fit to use common
sense. rather than hard bitten
law. He realized fully the inc
qualities of the law in-so far as it
pertains to the Indian and he
judged accordingly. We Black
feet are proud of his record as a
judge-we earnestly hope that his
successor, whomsoever he may
be, will at least follow in his
footsteps. His successor is facing
hard proposition. Levi Burd, as
a judge has set an enviable re-
cord, his successor has a target to
shoot at and with bat a poor
chance to come anywhere equal
ing the record established by Mr..
Burd. His resignation as Judge at
this time is a distinct loss to the
tribe and while all appreciate his
elevation to the chairmanship of
the tribal council. yet his services
as tribal judge are going to be
missed.

Military Roads

A long time ago it was pointed out or claimed that in the event of war the United States government might com mandeer such highways as were import ant links between munitions nanufactur- ing centers and ports of distribution. The Merritt Parkway was mentioned as one of those strategic highways which was marked for control by the govern ment. Whether or not this was just so much talk no one ever learned. But on the basis of our World War experience there would be no necessity of any such official seizure. Of course things were bit different in 1917. There was no fear or thought of invasion then. Today there actually is and New England believes it would be a focal point in any attack from European ppwers. As matter of fact there is no
 more reason to think that the assault would come from the northeast via Ice land and Greenland than it would come from Mexico and Central America. Either avenue of approach is possible.
 The importance of good highways, though, for military purposes can't be overlooked, but we never hope that our highway engineers will have to take into consideration in their plans this factor. We'd like to continue to believe that our future roadways will be built for the safety and pleasure of the riding public as well as for expedience in traffic be- tween communities. However, if the thought that a good highway up the Nau- gatuck Valley would be of importance in case of war hurries up plans for inn provement of the present route we'd voice 1t very loudly.

Even As In Waterbury

Adequate police protection to prevent
 vandalism in parks is being sought by New York's Department of Parks Only few short weeks ago Superintendent of
 Parks James Curtin made similar ap-
 peal to the local Park Board when It
 had received and noted protest about
 various actions here. There's only one
 successful way to combat vandalism in
 public areas and that's by use of unl- formed attendants empowered to make arrests if they are not members of the community's law enforcement forces.
 Among the acts of depreciation com-
 mittee in New York parks which natur- ally are far more extensive and wide spread than our own were destruction of electric light bulbs, holes dug in lawns, dogs running loose through gar dens, mutilation of trees, breaking of benches, etc. To these can also be added loss of flowers in bloom, uprooting of small trees and shrubs, as well as theft of bulbs. Waterbury suffers similar brighten up their appearance by pre- sentable public areas.
 It's evidently the price we pay for be- ing democracy wherein dwell all classes of people who like to manifest their inde. pendence and liberty by display of license. Of course many acts of vandal- ism are simply the result of careless youngsters running wild, tut others are not If we want to preserve beauty spots here as elsewhere, we've got to place protection over them at all times until the idea is driven home that like mans home these areas are for distinct pur- nose and violation of the same is punish able.

two governments, neither of which adopts the viewpoint of past centuries, both of which cling to the forward-looking viewpoint that there is better way than force. The controversy has now reached this point: The oil properties have been seized. No Mexican administration can 20 back on that - it has become, rightly or wrongly, point of national honor. The United States comedies the seizure, main- tains the companies sould be paid. Mexico agrees.
 Nobody has ever determined how much should be paid, whether all the potential value of oil beneath the seized lands, or simply the value of the physical invest ment. Mexico has no money to pay im- mediately in any event. One of the two principal appropriated companies is about ready to accept payment in oil. After all, what would it have gotten if there had been no appropriation? Oil.
 It is all question of how much, and when, and how.
 Mexico needs more capital, which 1t surely cannot expect to get until this matter is adjusted. The United States needs all-American goodwill; the Mexican case, rightly or wrongly, is being used to block it. When both sides to a controversy stand to gain more by settlement than by continued disturbance, reasonable people on both sides will continue to hope for amicable settlement.

Squalus to Sail6sh

The Navy is not easily intimidated Jinxes and superstitions which might cause a furtive litter in ordinary folk just aren't allowed to figure when the Navy has a job to do. Hence when the sub marine Sailfish was commissioned at Portsmouth the other day four men who stood at attention on her deck were prob ably less concerned with the past than with the future. They were survivors of the Squalus disaster of almost year ago, and the Sailfish, reconditioned at a cost of $1,4O0,O00, used to be the Squalus.
 She sank off the Isle of Shoals, and the bodies of 26 of her crew were still in her hull when they brought it up from the depths after months of effort. Ex- cept as bright episode of heroism in Navy annals, the Squalus is no more. Sail fish, anchors aweigh!
