Half Century Is Behind
Tester of Air Rifles

PLYMOUTH, MICH.-Many peo-
pie think of retiring when they get
to be Sc years old, but not Arthur
Burden, the ''one-man army" He's
having too much fun at his job.
Burden has just completed so
years as tester of air rifles. The
fact he's fired 165 tons of BIB shot
through 100000 weapons has not
materially lessened his initial en-
thusiasm as a lad of 16, when he
got his job.
Burden says he was bouncing tin
cans with an air rifle behind the
plant when the company manager
asked if he wanted job as tester.
II just blinked and said, And get
paid for it?'" Burden reports.
Boys think Burden is the worlds
luckiest man, and adults call him the
"one-man army" 1t looks as if the
Burden family will be testing rifles
for a long time, too. Burdens two
sons and a grandson are working
under him.

Father Sends Sons to
Army to Reimburse u. S.

ST. PAUL.-As Sam Lee read the
black headlines of war and Americas
preparedness efforts he began to
think about a young fellow who got
off a ship from Europe in New York
harbor 80 years ago.
Friendless and a fugitive from
tyranny and revolution" as he put
it, the young Rumanian got job.
and because it was hard to say
'Leibowitz" he changed his name to
Lee"
He remained in New York, reared
family, saved his money and be-
gan to enjoy the fruits of an Amer
lean standard of living. All this,
Sam Lee reflected upon as he read
the newspaper. He was, you see, the
young man of 80 years ago.
Recently there appeared at Fort
Smelling for enlistment two well-built
brothers, Milton, 81, and Gerald Lee,
%. Residents of Brooklyn, they had
come here at the behest Of their ia
ther, now a ST. Paul furrier.

Scholarship Gives
Newsboys Education
Circulation Boss Sends Is
Boys Through HARVARD.

BOSTON.-Everyone along Bos-
toms newspaper row knows Nate So
dickson, spry little city circulation
boss for the Globe, but very few peo-
pie know that he has rs "sons" who
are Harvard graduates-all former
newsboys like himself.
In fact, very few of those "sons"
ever heard of Nate and he knows
only half-dozen of them person
ally.
But every year at commencement
time, when he grabs a paper wet
from the press and thumbs through
the list of Harvard graduates, he
knows that one of them was recipi-
ent of Boston newsboys Harvard
scholarship that he started back in
1906.
The boys just don't know the
story" Nate says. But what more
do l want? Don't I know that I've
helped make a heart specialist,
C.P.A., an architect and some
teachers in the Philippines out Of
poor kids who sold papers on the
street corners?"
Don't get the idea that Nate was
in the money back in 1907, and just
wrote a check for a few thousand
and turned it over to Harvard. He
was still ''newsie" himself, but as
a former president of the Newsboys'
Protective union, he hit upon the
idea Of raising fund to give news
boys chance at something better
than the grammar school education.
Those were the days when the
newsies hung out in a section where
their heroes were prize fighters and
pool room sharks.
The union was doing a good job
at bettering conditions" said Nate.
I'VE had $120 in our treasury, and
sold the boys the idea of giving
500 Of it for starter toward schol-
arship. Don't faint, but the idea was
to raise $1,000 so that the interest
would give free tuition to some smart
newsboy every year."

Any farmers who hoped to finish
their threshing early this year,
have suffered quite a disappoint-

Smyrna had relief from the heat
wave which she suffered for five
DAYS, when the storm last Wednes-
day night finally came. Needless
to say, the children didn't care
about the hot weather, so long as
the Lake filled with water.
Thousands of people passed
through Smyrna last week, on their
way to the shore and other sum-
mer resorts, where they spent the
Fourth of July. The restaurants
and eating houses along the Boule-
ward were all crowded on Thursday
evening and again on Sunday even
ing when the vacationists returned.
Children and young people who
hoped that the pond would be filled
on the Fourth of July, would have
been disappointed, even though the
day had been clear. In the state
ment which Engineer Hadaway
made last week, the pond should
have been filled with enough water
for swimming, but due to complica-
tions, it had only about half the
water needed for swimming on the
Fourth.

 Only one person was outstanding, This was a college girl, was told, who in Q previous addition was found to be 6 good actress but with an unphotogenic nose. Now her nose had been fixed by a plastic surgeon.

JOHN LONG RITZ

ViOIinist and Band Booked for Bridgeport; String
 Section Nucleus Group

Johnny Long comes to the Ritz Ballroom in Bridgeport Sunday No- vember 18th. Maestro Johnny Long not only plays the violin in Q most proficient manner, but he too takes great delight in defending the time honored instrument when ill advised or badly informed persons refer to 1t as "Corney" or Obsolete, When these remarks reach his ears, John. ny's first comeback reminds hls lis. teners that the violin is one Of the primary instruments in the world of
 music and will continue to remain one. Generally speaking, 1t has al- ways been his idea that popular music needs the violin to mellow the heavy brass or humping rhy- thms, He likes to inform any ridicus Ter of the fiddle that famous orches. tra leaders Of the past and present have led their musical aggregatons, violin in hand. Long goes on to name Paul Whiteman, Jan Qarber, Joe Cenuti, Leo Reisman, Xavier Cugat and Ben Bernie as examples. For Johnny, the violin has the pow- CT of expression found in no other instrument. Played properly, Long believes more moods can be reached through the strains of Q violin than any other instrument in the music world. For this quality alone, John- ny has continued to feature his styl- ized versions of various numbers Long has Q proponent of the violin in popular music at Q time when swing was king and six saxophones and six brass were to be found in the average dance band. Like any real student of the instrument Johnny ventures to predict new found glorieS for the instrument oi StradivaTius. He thinks more or- chestras will feature string sections this winter and next spring. His as' ute knowledge of the instrument and his profession leads him to list Harry James, Artie Shaw, Clyde Lu. cas, Russ Morgan and Fred Martin as bands harboring fiddle sections More will follow, he believed thC fiddle not only has an expert crafts man in Johnny Long-it has ( champion of the rights of its past present and future.

Hollywood--A triple layer of plate glass separates the two small rooms. The unlighted one contains chairs for studio executives and Q desk with telephone and audio controls, The other room Is raised and il- luminated like O stage with micro phone and e few props - piano, couch, chairs, table.
 It's good arrangement, Nervous aSpirantS for Paramount contracts can see only their own dim reflee- tons as they face the dark void Of glass, They can't hear anything from the other side either except when William Meiklejohn presses a button and gives them e noncom. initial Thank you very much"
 The head of the talent depart- ment and his assistants, along with whatever casting directors or other studio officials happen to be inter- ested, sit only Q few feet from the emoting hopefuls, yet they can stare ct them and discuss them. TOO MOUTHY
 As Q visitor during an afternoon of additions, I had little trouble getting used to this one-way sound and vision. The first prospect was 6 girl who did Q dramatic scene and then Q song. Right at the peak of her histrionics a voice behind me said casually: Pretty fair voice, Don't like her mouth, though"
 "A little heavy. Her figure, I mean" added another,
 The girl knew nothing of these criticisms. She finished, smiled gamely in the direction of her un- seen audience as she started for the exit. Holding down the button that cut in his speaker, MeikleIohn said, "Thank you very much"
 Almost anybody can get an inter- view at nearly any major studio. It may lead to an addition, maybe to 0 screen test or Q contract, but the chances drop sharply on this path Of progress. Last year Meiklejohn and his aides saw and talked with some 4200 men, women and kids seeking movie contracts. Of those they put approximately 400 through the auditioning process, Only about 50 won screen tests, and 27 of them got term contracts,
 The additions are conducted much like tests. If @ promising candidate is a girl, say, she'll be assigned q competent young contract actor tc appear with her. They'll learn and rehearse several pages of dialog =

HOT SPOT OPENS

Betty Cradle, Victor Ma ture, and CarOle Landis
 Starred in Picture

The years most exciting hit Hot spot", IS the way that ell critics have been speaking of the film now current at the Loew-PoN theater. and which will continue until Sun- day night only, with Q new program then to start on Monday and con~ tinue through "Wednesday,
 There were 5 men who went for her in O big way yet they all had reasons for wanting her out of the way. That is the background Of this film which stars Betty Grable, Vic- tor Mature and Carole Landis, and the story Is that of Q girl who was taken out of hash-house and made the darling of cafe society,
 Hollywoods three most thrilling personalities, as you can see, are fea~ tured in this film and they make the screen sixxle when they are on it. Mature is known to screen fans as the new It man of the screen all know Miss 0rable as the 'bombShell' and when these two get together, Q new high in screen artistry IS brought to Waterbury theater-goers,
 Hot Spit has already been hailed as the most unusual film of the year, 1t Is e thrilling, splne-chilling mys- tery drama, and tells its story In . way that held the audience last night spell-bound.
 Mature aS Q promoter, Allan M0h- wray as an actor and Allyn Josllyn, aS Q newspaper coiumnist, select Cas role Lands, who is e waitress, In Q cheap restaurant and as e prank publicize her, make her an attraction at several of the leading night clubs and finally the night that she has had Q screen test and contract for Hollywood, she is found murdered.
 Mature is really on the spot as Laird Cregar, who plays the part of the detective, starts out to prove that he Is the killer, and with many clues that seem to prove this thought on the part of the detective, Mature Is in quite 0 lot of not water, until he finally gets himself off the spot, we are not going to tell you how this happens as to do so would spoil your appreciation of Che film, but we will state that IS quite Q unique method followed and while not probably up to the work of police departments, works out to the end that 1t was In. tended.
 On the same program there also Is another fine film Down In San Diego" with Bonita Granville, Ray Mcdonald and Dan Daley, Jr. in the leading roles, this is the story of the Marines in foreign territory and Is one of the most action-packed films to have been presented in town in some time.
 To make the show complete there is also one of the ever popular Dis- ney Cartoons, featuring Donald Duck, the title of this one is skiing" and you can imagine the fun that you will have and the abuse that Donald will take during the showing of this.

Belle Starr Features Flaming New Personality
 in Gene Tierney 5s

Performances tomorrow evening at Warmers Strand theater terminate the engagements of Clark Gable and Lana Turner in "Honky Tonkp and Marjorie Weaver and George Reeves in Man ct Large.
 "Belle Starr," the pettlcoat terror of the Ozarks, comes wildly to life on the screen in the technicolor pro- duction bearing her name, which comes to the Strand Sunday for three days. ]"
 Lovely Gene Tierney, Q flaming new personality, won the role of the beautiful bandit queen opposite Randolph Scott, who portrays Sam Starr the daring guerilla leader who loved and married Belle.
 Belle was c fer cry from the rough frontier woman her twO-gun history might indicate. Studio research ex- perts uncovered the fact that she patronized masseuses to keep her, figure @urvaceous and went to the best dressmakers in Chicago and New York to enhance her allure.
 Furthermore, 1t is said that she never fired Q shot when Q smile or flash of Q neat ankle would do the trick.
 The film opens in Belle's home in Carthage, Missouri, at the close Of the Civil War and shows the devel- opments that turned this sheltered but headstrong girl, passionately de- voted to the cause of the South, into daring desperado.
 The Starr band, lead by Sam and Belle, becomes the scrouge of the countryside. They rob banks end trains, force many of the carpetA baggers to flee and even storm Q Federal arsenal.
 Others prominently featured in the cast are Dana Andrews, John Shepperd, Elizabeth Patterson, Chill Wills and Louise Beavers.
