want to keep seeing on the screen;
they'll appear in 1941-42 produc-

Ginny Simms, Joan Carroll, James

them, if you're interested in seeing
how stellar material is developed;
some may hit the heights, others
won't. You'll be the real judges!
Some Of these players might be
called stars now, of course; James
Craig, who clicked as the young doc
tor in kitty FOyle," is to become
star in Unexpected Uncle"; Ed
mond O'Brien had one of the four
stellar roles in Parachute Battal-
iOn." But it's the public, not the
studio, that has the final word in
these things; fortunes have been lost
in attempts to cram "stars" down
the public's throat, when the public
stayed away from the resulting
pictures in drOves. Let's hope
RKO's choice is good one!

Is The United States Prepared?
Record Proves We Are On Our Way

speedy armament of this country a
prime necessity for the insurance
of it's continued existence in a
chaotic world.
To the casual spectator the de-
tense program has been scape-
goat for name-calling and bureau
cratic fumbling. Behind the sur
face one of the greatest industrial
feats of all time has been accom-
plished in the last year. At the
present rate the United States, the
worlds richest country in natural
resources, will soon be among the
most powerfully armed nations in
the entire world.
The Wall Street Journal recent
ly issued special edition to sum-
Marie the accomplishments in the
first year of our defense effort. 1t
is the first thorough compilation
of the record to be made. The
contents refute the notion that the
democratic process is a handicap
in the efficient preparation for
war.
Some of the things on the ac-
complishment list:
An army of over, 100000 men
has been built on the foundation of
last years Regular Army of 243,-
900 and a National Guard of
225, 900.
Navy planes, all types, as of
May 1, this year, number 9,476 as
against 2.172 on July l of last
year.
Construction of a "two-ocean"
Navy is running ahead of schedule,
Airplane production has been
jumped from $50 month to over
1900 and is scheduled to reach a
monthly total of $500 by October.
That will be equivalent of 1920
annually.
In 1941, 115 merchant ships will
be delivered, compared with last
years SO.
A year ago there were only 83
privately owned ship ways in the
country. Today there are 254.
Before the summer is over, sew
eral industries will be in quantity
production of the most modern and
powerful armored machines in the
world.
Government arsenals and newly
built and equipped private plants
are turning out large and small
cannon, antiaircraft guns, rifles,
machine guns and ammunition in
ever increasing quantities.
This showing has been possible
through one of the greatest con-
versions of industry to the pur-
poses of war in the history of the
country.
In commenting on defense pro-
gress editorially, the Wall Street
Journal says:
"a year ago we heard men say
that much of this was not possible
under our form of society, that we
would have to accept dictator
ship. That is not So"

A year ago America was unpre-
pared. It's weapons of war were
obsolete, its military manpower at
very low point, its citizenry
blind by trusting too much in iso-
lationism which grew up after the
first World War.

Roosevelt went before Congress

their old jinx to win, 36 to "a.
In the contest the lead changed
hands FIVE times, and the Pirates
threatened thruout the closing min
utes.
Wiltshire led 10 to 6 at the quar-

halftime, 20 to 18. A strong rally
by the visitors near the close of the
third quarter gave the team 20 to

real thriller. With Wiltshire lead

onds, however, as Wiltshire added {

BIuffton High Wins One, Loses TIVE
In Rigorous Week Of Cage Competition

After losing two heart-breaking
contests by a total margin of FIVE
points, Bluffton High cagers broke
back into the winning column Tues
day night by trouncing Wapakoneta,
DO to 34,at the local gymnasium.
In a rigorous week of play, the
Pirates lost their first decision of
the season, 80 to az, at Celina last
Friday; then were edged by Will
shire, 36 to "a, here on Saturday
night.
Buttons loss to Celina was par
ticularly disappointing to the local
crew for in addition to representing
their first setback of the season it
also was the teams initial Western
Buckeye league contest.
The Pirates evened the count in
circuit competition, however, by
crushing Wapakoneta, 46 to 81, after
slow start.
Buttons attack was sputtering
badly in the first quarter against the
Indians and the period ended with
Wapakoneta on the long end of a II
to score.
Better ball was played in the sec
ond stanza, and with only a minute
remaining the Dillermen went out in
front, 19 to IL. Before the quarter
was over, however, Wapakoneta came
back to knot the count at 19-all, then
took the advantage q to 19 at half
time.
The third quarter was closely
matched all the way, with Wapak-
oneta out in front, 81 to 80, as the
gun sounded.
A whirlwind Bluffton assault in
the fourth period gave the Pirates a
decisive victory as they racked up
16 points while holding their foes to
three, all of which We're made on
free throws. In direct contrast all
of Buttons scoring in the final
stanza was on field goals.
AT Celina, two evenly matched
teams put on thrilling show that
left the final outcome in doubt until
the final gun cracked, and the Bull
Dogs won, 42-39
Bluffton set the pace in the first

She stood near a table: but all at
once, with the blood gone from her
face, she dropped upon a bench and
stared back at him, speechless.
She had overheard his telephone
conversation, yet even as Walt Gan
dy took step toward the girl, he
realized that what he had told Sher-
iff Battle was not news to her. The
shock now registered upon her face
was something else.
Her first words seemed to prove
it, for she did not question what
had happened. Hoarsely from a
Tightening throat she asked, "Where
is my father?" And before he could
answer: "Why did you call Battle?
Why did you'll"
Unanswering, Walt Candy let
himself down upon bench opposite.
He took off his hat and laid it at his
side. His weight creaked the floor
boards, and there was a clink of
spurs under the table as his legs
shifted uneasily. he'd give anything

"But where is he? What !"
Her tone had risen, sharp and ring
ing. With a startled look she broke
off and sat rigid, staring at him but
somehow strangely through him.
And then her words began again,
quietly, with more self-control and
determination than he had ever
heard in a girls voice:
