 The old tar was on his feet, beaming like 8 harvest xnocgi:.
 "On behalf of the LOch Lonond, sir, I accept the post. She's always. happy to help out the Navyl"
 The room echoed with deep- throated, good natsired daughter. The friendly rivalry between theE two services was never 90 sdperb.S ly evident. The captain flashed al smile at the commodore.
 "And the Navy is grateful" his tone absorbed. Tn conclusion, IA must point out to you that should your vessel or vessels be over- taken by serious engine trouble, off should faulty navigation or bad weather cause you to lag behind the convoy you must proceed aa best you can to whatever port yoUH may choose. The escorts duty d to remain with the main convoy and stragglers cannot be given protection.
 Somewhere around Snid-ocean 6 heavy escort from the Royal Navy, probably accompanied by an aircraft carrier, will meet the convoy. They will relieve the| Royal Canadian Navy escort as well as some of the Royal Navy ships assigned to special duties from that point"
 The commodore took over.
 There Is only one more matter to bring before this conference You are under strictest secrecy orders in being informed that wsE have good reason to believe a veryA forceful attempt is to be made by the enemy at some time during this crossing to attack the convcSE and particularly the troopships.
 1T cannot divulge any further details but the information is sufficiently urgent to prompt an order from the Admiralty that al 3reighter captains be given full opportunity to withdraw from the convoy without any reflection up- on themselves. If they remain. they must do 90 under complete authority of the escort command and be prepared to sacrifice them- selves, if need be, for the safety of the troopships. If any desire to withdraw, please do so now"
 He locked around the room. No one moved. A salty smile wTin- kled the captains "sideboards":
 Tn which circumstance, gentle men, find nothing further 10 oc- cupy this conferences attentioslA other than the happier business of joining in toast to our safe pas- saget ogether. If you will all stepE into the lounge, you will find thea essential liquids awaiting your pleasure"

 "And now you are asked to lis- ten more closely - this is an i'm. portant command to all cargo. carrying ships in the convoy as well as the troopships.

STATE

If you intend to see James Gag rey and Bette Davis in their first bowling hit together "The Bride Came COD" currently at Warmers State theater you'll have to hurry as performances tomorrow evening conclude its engagement.
 "The Bride Came c. o. D." is definitely the laugh hit of the year, and according to audiences who viewed the picture over the week. end, the new comedy lives up to the intriguing promise of its title and exciting star combination.
 Jimmy and Bette have pooled their considerable talents to make 1t hilarious entertainment. Cagney, who had some practice in his re- cent hit Strawberry Blonde" ap- reaches his comedy role with an ef- fortless saviour faire that is said to be a joy to behold. As for Miss Davis, playing her first light role in several years, she is said to prove that comedy is just as much her forte as drama.
 The story, adapted for the screen by Julius J. and Philip c. Epstein, twin scenaristS responsible for some of the screens wittiest output has the supreme virtue of getting com edy from legitimate situations, rath- CT than trumped-up ones.
 An unusually grand supporting cast lends able aid to the stars in bringing the picture to such high peak of perfection. Stuart Erwin, Eugene Palette, Jack Carson, George Tobias and Harry Davenport are in- cluded.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents '"The Nurses Secret" & ine-tingling drama. with Lee Patrick and Regis Toomey in featured roles.
 All in all here is a show you can't miss seeing. You'll howl with glee when Jimmy and Betty get together for the first time in a rough and tumble comedy all their own.
 The next big attraction coming to the State is the glorious te.hnicolor production. 'sThe Shepherd of the Hills" with John Wayne, Betty Field and Harry Carey in starring roles. The second big hit of this program will be 'They Met in Ar- gentlna," with James Ellison and Lucille Ball.
