ASTAIRE AND GODDARD
NEW SCREEN DANCE TEAM

Hollywood has always been the birth
place of unexpected and unusual ev-
ents, but seldom has it sprung a great
er surprise than the eXuberant swing
comedy, "Second Chorus.'' The film
shows Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
at the Roosevelt Theatre, amid gusty
laughter and ap-tap-tapping of Utter
bug feet dancing with the music of
Artie Shaw and his band.
Surprise Number One is Paulette
Goddard as Astaire' g new dancing part
ner. This is the first time the beaut-
iful brunette star dances ON the screen
and it would be hard for anyone to say
that she has not been doing it all her
life as she nimbly goes through the
gyrations Of the dig IT, with Fred
Astaire. Astaire shows himself to be
still the master dancer of the country,
and comedian whose warm and genial
personality stir ones admiration and
friendliness.
About equally surprising is the com
plete metamorphosis of Burgess Mere
dith who has turned from stark dra
matte acting to comedy. Featured in
9 Second Chorus,' he plays the part of
a trumpet player in college orchest-
ra lead by Fred Astaire, who also plays
The trumpet.

UNCLE SAM GOES TO WORK

Ordinarily Uncle Sa,a all dressed
up. He wears a high hat and a long
tailed coat. His boots are pretty Gle
giant and shiny and there s an air of
success about him. He's ready to go
anywhere and meet anybody.
But today he Is laid that tall hat
aside and he's pulled a workers hat
over his grizzled hair He's taken off
his good coat too, and he's wearing
appropriately enough overalls. For ov-
erals are good, old American cos
tune. He's in his shirt sleeves with
his collar turned in. Because he's go
ing to work!
The biggest job he's ever under
taken lies before him. He 3 got to build
lot of new equipment he thought
he'd never have to bother with again
and he's got to train a million or so
young men, that he had hoped would
be able to lead a pretty undisturhed
lives, to be soldiers. He hash It time
for that high hat for awhile. He's got
to build planes-hundreds upon nund
reds of them He IS got to turn out
of them. He must
build battleships and submarines and
guns that shoot towards the sky.
And that isn't all He has to turn
carpenter and build dozens of great
cantonment where about a million
American men will be able to live com
fcrtably and beautifully while they
learn to be soldiers. And he must
make clothes for these men and SHOES
and blankets. :.
Yes nam, he's going to be busy
these next few months. His cap and
overalls will be his regular costume.
And that's the way you III see him on
more than 5000 outdoor billboards
this month and next. He's pulling his
cap on this big picture and looking
thoughtfully out of the stern blue eyes
under bristling broWs.
This is the way the National Assoc
iation of Manufacturers, whose mem
bers are largely actually responsible
for building our defense needs visual
ize Uncle Sam at the present time
With the aid of the outdoor advertis-
ing industry, through its many ager-
cies in every part of the country, they
have set this symbol of our nation a
gainst background of factories buck
Ing down to the hardest work he 3
ever done.
There s real job ahead. It's got
to be done. American freedom, which
is more precious to us than life itself,
must be defended. It's Uncle Sam s
lob to do this. And in this country ev-
erybody is Uncle Sam. You and me and
the people next, door; the man at the
factor and the man how runs the fac
tory The storekeeper and the doctor
and the housewife 1T takes us all
to make Uncle Sam.
So look for the new poster and thrill
with pride at the stern old gentleman
who's going to do the work!

DAIRYMEN BENEFIT
AS PRICE OF MILK
IS INCREASED HERE
Retail Price of Milk Advanced
One Cent Per Quart i'm
Bluffton
Farmers Receiving $40 Per
Hundred for Four Per Cent
Butterfat Milk

Increased prices being paid to
Bluffton dairy farmers for raw milk
were reflected in a one-cent raise in
milk prices paid by Bluffton consum-
ers effective the first of the week.
With raw milk commanding a.
price of S2.40 per hundred at the
local plant of the Page Dairy Co.
representing an increases of II cents
within month, price to the con-
sumner has been raised to IL cents a
quart.
The greatly increased demand for
milk is reflected in the large amount
OF dairy exports being made at the
present time to foreign countries.
Volume of raw milk handled at
the Page plant is nearly 10000
pounds daily greater than under
normal conditions, it was stated this
week.
INCREASE
Between $4,000 and 10000 pounds
of milk are being processed daily
at the plant in comparison with a
normal average of $4,000 pounds.
This years production exceeds that
of last year by $4,000 pounds per
day.
Bluffton district farmers are paid
on the 1st and 10th of every month.
Every pay period has witnessed an
increase in the amount for raw milk
and the new period starting this
week may witness another increase.
1t is not unlikely that the figure
will reach the total of $3.50 per
hundred pounds or five cents a quart
for raw milk, observers have point
ed out.
The figure of $2.40 represents an
increase of So cents over the base
price of s1.75 quoted at this time
last year. With wholesale prices of
daily products at the highest levels
in years, farmers who sell cream
also are reaping additional income.
Butterfat was commanding price
of 36 cents pound on Bluffton
markets Wednesday morning. This
quotation is two cents under the
peak price of 38c for the present
market movement, which prevailed
last week.
