front porch is not detailed.
All seriousness aside. the ancient
Druids held their great autumn
festival something like the South
east Alaska Fair-and lighted fires
in honor of the Sun-God in
Thanksgiving for the harvest about
November l. But that's another
story F.D.R. has settled the
Thanksgiving problem and the
Druids have been dead as long as
their fires.
Still according to the encyclo-

revived by German bombers.
Skipping to Ireland we find the
County Galway huskers and the
County Mayo rakers referring to
Halloween as "Oidhche Sham

does. that means Vigil of Saman.7
Saman, lord of death, was sup

wicked souls who during the past
twelve months had been con-

animals. 1t was some fun, if you
were Druid and really went in
for that sort of thing.
A couple of centuries after Sa-
man got the gate, the festival took
on the aspects of the Roman fes-
tival in honor of Pomona, not

of nuts was the main item when
the Romans did as Romans did,

makes this picture one of the best

Producer Joe Pasternak's pic

Il believe the story of the typi-

and if that is captured realistically
on the screen it is, to me at least,
potentially ideal entertainment"
Gloria's family in "A Little Bit

Frank jerks as Uncle Dan"
Story of the film traces the rise

DRAFTED FEDERAL
EMPLOYEES TO GET
PAYMENT FOR LEAVE
May Either Receive Pay or
Let Vacation Time Re-
main 10 Their Credit

All Federal employees indicted
into the armed forces are entitled
to receive, in addition to their mill
tary pay, compensation in their civ
ilian positions covering their ac-
cumulated or current accrued leave,
John L. Mccormick, Territorial Di-
rector of Selective Service, said to-
day.
Such employees, may elect to have
their leave remain to their credit
until they return from active mill
tary duty in lieu of receiving COM
pensation, the director asserted.
However, he said, payments for an
nual leave may be made without
contravention of the dual compensa-
ton law which prohibits any person
from being paid for two positions
in the Federal service.
Recently enacted Federal legisla-
ton provides. the director said, that
Federal employees who have here
tofore or who may hereafter be
ordered to active duty with the mill
tary or naval forces of the United
States shall be entitled to receive,
in addition to their military pay
compensation in their civilian posi-
tions covering their accumulated or
current accrued leave or elect to
have such leave remain to their
credit until their return from active
military or naval service
Includes Guardsmen
The law applies to members of
the National Guard and of the Of
ficers' Reserve Corps and to men
who heretofore have or may in the
future be indicted into the land or
naval forces under the Selectiye
Training and Service Act of 1910,
Director Mccormick said, but it does
not include Federal employees who
voluntarily enlist in the military or
naval forces, or employees who COM
plete their periods of active duty
prior to August /, 1871, the effective
date of the law.
"As the law provides that en-
ployees shall be entitled to payment
for their annual leave, or to elect to
carry it over until their return to
their civilian positions" the director
said, those employees who have
heretofore been ordered to active
military duty or naval service should
be notified of their rights in this
matter.
Choice Offered
Employees who are hereafter
ordered to active military or naval
duty should be consulted and given
the choice of receiving compensation
in their civilian positions covering
their accumulated or current accrued
leave or allowing such leave to re-
main to their credit until they
return from active military or naval
service"
The act applies to employees of
the United States Government, its
Territories or possessions, or the Dis
trict of Columbia, including en-
ployees of any corporation created
under authority of an act of Con-
gress which is either wholly con-
trolled or wholly owned by the Unit
ed States Government, or any cor
pcration, all the stock of which is
owned or controlled by the United
States Government, or any depart
ment, agency, or establishment
thereof, whether or not the en-
ployees thereof are paid from funds
appropriated by Congress, Director
Mccormick asserted.
