SWEETHEART
By FRANK c. SCHNEIDER

I shall try to paint you a picture
AS soft colors I cannot blend,
Instead of the use of pigments
Tender words must their mean
ing lend.
AS you stood that night by the
fireplace,
Flames diffusing their soft glow,
I knew deep down within my
heart
Lies meaning had begun to
flow.
The years have drifted pleasant
ly by,
Twenty-three since you stood
there
l drink this toast and proudly
boast,
Though silver has touched your
hair.
EdCH udy yOu SloW il4oAC OSAetsA
full,
Your smile is more eloquent too
Your voice is like the song bird,
1t thrills me through and through.
Your eyes seems to sparkle like
diamonds,
The sunset l compare with your
smile,
Your lips are like the rose buds
Make me want to kiss you the
while.
Your hair is as soft as the shad-
oWS,
Nature gave it just the right hue;
The best things were blended to-
gether
To make one as lovely as you.

:: SOCIETY ::
Champagne Hour
Much Enjoyed

With each contest, the Cham
payne Hour at the Casa Marina
becomes more popular, SO that
Saturday night found a capacity
crowd in the patio. A few
dances beforehand attuned the
crowd to the spirit of the occa-
sion and everybody was in a gay
mood.
AS always, the award was very
difficult to make as the prize de-
ponds on the applause each cou-
pie provokes, and, naturally, the
respective tables root for their
own dancers. However, the quart
of champagne went eventually to
Mrs. Suzanne Boissevain and
Russell Mcguire, of Greenwich,
Conn. The Conga was chosen as
the first dance, and the South
American continent was drawn
upon for the second dance, the
Rhumba. And, because of its
popularity in the preceding con-
tests and by popular demand, the
Polka was chosen for the third.
Jack Cole, manager of the Ar
thur Murray Studio, again di-
rected the contest, ably assisted
by Miss Jane Peabody. And full
cooperation was given, of course,
by Dave Carson and his Casa Ma
rina orch stra. incidentally,
Louise frey, Jacks dancing part
ner who was recalled to the
Whitehall in Palm Beach, is ex-
pected to return Monday to re-
sumo her duties at the Arthur
Murray Studio here.
Among others attending the
dance were Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis
c. Hunter. Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas

Miss Effie Knowles

Miss Effie Knowles, formerly
of this city where she was a
practicing attorney-at-law before
moving to Washington, D. c., her

Defense Migrations

Social Problem
House Member Says
Congress Lacks Brains
Or Heart to Help
BY the Associated Press.


LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5-Migra-
tions Of millions of Americans be-
cause Of the defense emergency have
created this Nations greatest social
problem. And they will create a
postwar whirlpool of unemployed
more dangerous to our economy
than any military attack. speakers
from opposite coasts agreed today.
Representative Tolan, Democrat.
of California warned the California
Department Of Employment that
State and Federal agencies would
have to meet an anticipated post
war unemployment crisis, then
charged:
There are no big men In Con-
gress.
They spend billions of dollars to
save the world, but do not have the
brains or heart to take care Of our
own people.
Feeds Ducks But Not Humans.
Congress has a standing COM
mittee on wild life that provides
feeding ponds for ducks in every
State, and even in Canada. But
they have no feeding places for our
own people who migrate from one
State to another in search of
livelihood"

committee investigating defense mi

he estimated that $4,000, 900 Ameri-

quences to the country.
Permanent Change.
Industrial workers have gone to
new communities or old ones that
have no capacity to accommodate
them. Factories are expanding,
needing more men than are avail
able. So the end is not yet.
The problem - affects the
whole communitys life. Sewers are

Plane Grounded

LONDON, Dec. 5.-An r. A. r
pilot, after a forced landing In the
Libyan desert, "thumbed" q 50-mile
tow for himself and his American
made plane and returned to duty
after being officially missing two
days, the Air Ministry News Service
said today.
The pilot landed near some South
African armored cars after the
motor of his Tomahawk (Curtiss)
| fighter stalled as he was pulling out
of an inverted spin in the middle
of fight"
His story continued:
About 4 miles away were German
tanks and a motor transport and !
didn't like the idea of leaving my
aircraft for their benefit. After q
chat with the South Africans I de.
cided to tow it to the nearest landing
ground.
I'VE averaged about 7 miles an
hour-pretty good going over the

mats or high Fascists. We had /,

mats or high Fascists. We had q
special permit to use our car, but
when our ration Of gasoline reached
80 liters a month, we felt 1t was
necessary to give up driving. Taxi
cabs run only until $3.50 in the
evening, and even then one must
be going in the direction of the
taxi to get a ride, as each vehicle
has a zone and cannot go out of it.
Before the war there were as many
automobiles in Rome in proportion
to the population as there are in
New York. With cars laid up,
Romans now are obliged to take
buses or trans. And there are no
more of these public conveyances
than there were before the war So
people are packed like sardines in
box.
It's really dangerous to wear a
good fur coat or other garment,
since one is pushed and showed
about mercileesly getting in and out
of the crowds
Movies, restaurants, barS-in fact,
all public places-must be closed by
II at night.
Food Problem Difficult.
The food problem is difficult.
Rationing is so restricted that enter
tanning at home is almost impossible.
One is allowed 100 grams of butter
month per person Cthere are %
grams to the ounce, 300 grams of
oil, 100 grams of rice, liz Kilograms
of spaghetti, which is quite gray;
100 grams of meat per person a
week, which isn't even the size of a
lamb chop, and you can have your
choice of veal: 100 grams of bread
day, dark and tastes gritty. The
Black Market for food has COM
pletely disappeared, SO one gets along
on his rations.
To shop for the day, one must
allow two or three hours for round
ing up the food, as separate lines are
formed for milk, meat, bread,
potatoes, fruits, etc. Waiting around
in line long hours puts everybody in
a bad humor, the shopkeeper as well
as the shoppers.
Foreigners are not permitted to
go outside Rome or certain specified
nearby towns, but until now we have
had no unhappy experiences, and
Americans are treated the same as
before the war.
