A/ENDY BARRIE and

of rocked back on their heels
recently on the set of RKO's IA
Date With the Falcon. They
were introduced to Michele Nor
gan, the French actress who
makes her screen debut here in
"Joan of Paris" and promptly
acknowledged the introduction
in fluent French. Then they
went on from there. But Miss Nor
gan shut up like clam; not even
a "Oui, oui" did she utter.
Finally, when they'd about decid-
ed that their French was all wrong,
she explained that she was trying
so hard to be completely American
that she wasn't even thinking in
French!

If you have a relative or friend
in the service and have any doubts
about what to send him as gifts,
your problems are over. The serv-
ice men have solved it for you by
naming tobacco as their first
choice in gifts. Actual sales rec
ords show the favorite cigarette
with men in the Army, Navy, Ma
rine Corps, and Coast Guard is
Camel. Prince Albert is the popu-
lar smoking tobacco. With these
preferences in mind, local tobacco
dealers feature Camels by the car
ton and Prince Albert in the pound

service from the folks back home.

LYNN SAYS:

An assortment of cookies,
freshly baked and packed in tins
with waxed paper between layers
makes a delightful present for
youngsters away at school and
for friends you seldom see. When
your own cookie jar has been
filed to bullying, pack a few boxes
from what you have and spread
cheer to others, too.
Careful packing in tins with
waxed paper win keep even small
dainty cookies fresh for q long
time. Some favors like choco-
late improve after they stand for
some time. Chevy, nutty cookies
are the more chevy and deli
cious after several days. Spicy
cookies become moist and well
favored after standing.

can have cookies a-plenty to put in
the children's lunch boxes, to serve
as afternoon snacks, and as pick
up for mealtime.
If you're doing some baking for a
bazaar, there's nothing quite like
plates of yummy cookies to put over
the sales. Remember, you can sell
a lot more, if you give out some
samples. These can be set on plates
with white paper doilies, for SAM
ping, and those to be sold put in
boxes already fixed. Cookies can
be sold by the dozen if they're fancy
and somewhat elaborate, by the
pound if they're small drop cookies
or squares.

lectable.

SOUTH AMERICAN FILMS

One evening the PRESIDENT ana i,
with our dinner guests, had the
pleasure of seeing some new films.
One is made from pictures taken
during Mr.. Julian Bryan's last trip
to South America, and his voice
gives the running comment.
Life is full of little condolences,
and smiled when ] thought that,
only that morning had read let
ter which a young friend wrote from
Bogota. She told most Interestingly
of the country and the life there and
casually mentioned that they had
been spending some very pleasant
hours with Mr.. Julian Bryan. Here
! was looking at the picture made
on his last trip, while he was out
making pictures for future film!
The other picture shown was
done under the direction Of Mr..
Joseph Losey. It is a very charm
ing picture of a nursery school in q
rural area. Children are shown
in all the activities that are possible
in country surroundings. We see
them at work and at play. The
children range in age from two to
seven years.. It has no great sig
nificance, except that it brings the
people who see it q realization Of
the value of the nursery school.
This educational experiment is fair
ly new IN our country. In Europe
at has long been known.

ANOTHER NEW YORK TRIP


One day we caught the six o'clock
plane for New York city and worked
on my personal mail during an ex-
tremely smooth flight. I went home
first, where had glimpse of Jim
mie and Rommie, who were just
starting out in their best bibs and
fuckers to dine very gaily in cele-
bration of her birthday.
Miss Thompson and I dined in
little restaurant on Sixtieth street
near Fifth avenue, which we both
like, and had very leisurely and
pleasant meal by ourselves.
The meeting called the next day
by the Co-ordinator of Federal Sc
curity Services, Mrs. Anna Rosen-
berg, was most inspiring occa-
sion. It brings together not only
the different agencies under that
bureau, but all the other govern
ment agencies working in the area.
Here were government representa-
tives on regional level, working out
the problems which affected all their
different agencies. Thereby, they
accomplished results, which, if they
had not met together once month,
probably would have taken weeks of
correspondence finally to clear up.
In the afternoon, all the state Of
ficials joined the meeting. This
meant that purely state responsible
ties, and the points at which the
state officials touch the federal gov
eminent officials, could also become
clarified because of personal con-
tact.
In addition, Lieutenant Governor
Poletti Of New York state, state CO.
ordinator Of civilian defense activi-
ties, and Maj. Gen. Irving j. Phil
lipson, representing the, military in
terests Of the area, were present.
It seemed to me that this was as
good co-ordinating job as had
seen accomplished anywhere in the
government. as

RADIO BROADCAST
FROM HYDE PARK.-We drove
down to New York city after lunch
one day and l had visit from DR..
Reinhold Niebuhr and DR.. James
Loeb Jr., who came to ask me to
speak at a meeting. They allowed
me a choice of dates in October
or early December. October is al
ready so filed with obligations and
December is filling up so rapidly, that
/ had a very hard time deciding.
/ finally agreed that would try to
60, If certain conditions can be met,
and if no one can be found who will

Then / went over to the broad
casting station and went through
the usual preliminaries of photo
graphs and rehearsals. I wish my
reading time would be the same at
least twice, it would save the poor
people who run these programs
great deal of trouble. AS result
of the broadcast, had most enter
tanning telegram which reads:
L dCC Lie ldCt tIldt SOitilllUlilolit
and Democracy are not the same
and see where that leaves you." It
was signed: "An Isolationist."
DEFINITION OF DEMOCRACY
I must be very dull, because I
thought I had made crystal clear
that Communism and Democracy
are not the same. I thought that
had given a fair definition of what
Democracy really is! However, I
am delighted to have an opportunity
to say here that it seems to me that
Democracy has one great advan-
tage over Communism-it really re-
quires the participation of every cit
izen in the choice of the people to
fill government Office.
Of course, it would be impossible
to have real democracy in a coun-
try which has not so far had, for at
least two generations, free public
school education and laws which pro-
tected people in their right to ex-
ercise fundamental freedoms of
thought, of speech and of assembly.
Mr.. and Mrs. "Isolationist," who
ever you may be, facing the fact
of this difference between Commu-
nism and Democracy, leaves me in
just the position I was in when I
made my radio speech.
