DRY to every lover of liberty and justice
throughout the world:
1T may have been misfortune for the
Nation that I was elected President. But,
having been elected by the people,
mean to be President and perform my
duty according to my best understanding,
if I have to die for it. No general will
be removed, nor will any change in the
cabinet be made to suit the views or
wishes of any particular party, faction
or set of men,
Today it is the destiny of another
great American President, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, to guide this Nation safely
through the most critical period of its
existence. He. like the immortal Lin
coin, is exhibiting the same fortitude and
resolution that characteriZes the living
spirit of a free people. A united Nation,
determined that liberty and represent
alive government shall not perish from
the earth, cannot fail

STATE

Ending tomorrow evening at the sir conditioned State theater is the comedy Kiss the Boys Goodbye, co-starring Don Ameche and Mary Martin with large cast of radio and screen faVorites; also Richard Arlen in Forced Landing"
 A new and gay twist has been given the subject of conscription for Warner Bros.'s fast-paced film on that subject, "Three Sons o. Guns" which comes to the air con- ditioned State theater on Wednes- day with Wayne Morris, Tom Brown and William Orr in the title roles.
 It's when the boys get their draft draft questionnaires the films &C., ton goes into high gear.
 Morris is trombone happy, but suddenly decides to get job and support his mother, incidentally be- coming draft-exempt. Orr is thea ter-happy but takes times off his phoney rehearsals to get married right after he gets his question: naire. Brown is fun-happy, and set ties right down to list every ail- ment he ever had.
 At the head of this brood is un- happy Irene Rich, who deplores her sons lack of character, Marjorie Rambeau is the aunt who lives with the family and laments the boys eaSy-going and selfish ways. Be- cause of her responsibilities, the boys mother has even been kept from marrying an old flame, Moroni Olsen.
 Miss Rambeau fixes everything when the boys appear at the draft board. She points out that Bill isn't really married, as his showgirl wife's divorce isn't legal. Wayne and Tom, too, haven't a thing that should disqualify thief mrom serv- ice and she hopes it'll make men out of 'em."
 All in all 'FThree Sons O'Guns" is laugh riot from start to finish, so put it on your must" list and be sure to attend the opening per- formances Wednesday at the air conditioned State.
 AIld TOT your IurCner enjoyment the management will present an- other comedy hit titled Tight Shoes" by Damon Runyan, peer less short story writer, whose in- lmitable style ranks him with fic- tion's immortals. The all-comedy cast of the new laugh riot includes John Howard, Brod Crawford, Bin nie Barnes, Leo Carrillo, Anne Gwynne and Shemp Howard.

He felt pretty funny walking home with
Miss Hunter. A teacher isn't like human
being. He tried walking fast, thinking she'd
fall behind and kids wouldn't know she was
going home with him, but she could walk
just as fast as he could, and the kids whose
houses they passed all turned and stared.
When they got near Shorty's house it came
over Pickles that Pop wouldn't be home from
work yet, and he told her, hoping she'd give
up the whole idea. But she said she could
wait, and she kept coming. Then he slowed
down, hoping she d keep ahead while they
passed Shortys house, but she said, ''Oh,
am | walking too fast for you, Robert? I'm
so sorry" And she slowed right down.
Shorty Kruger was on the porch, and out
of the corner of his eye Pickles could just see
Shorty thinking up wiseTacks to heckle him
with next day at recess.
Pickles said, Hi, Shorty" as if Miss
Hunter walked home with him every day,
but he was afraid his face got red, because he
felt as if it was doing it, and generally the
more he felt as if, the more it did it.
When they got in front of his own house
Pickles said, This IS 1t, and walked up the
front walk, and Mrs. Burbridge who lived
across the street, said, Good afternoon,
Miss Hunter"
Mrs. Burbridge was on the school board
and thought she was the cats meow. She
never talked to Pickles because after his old
woman left home his Pop used to go pretty
heavy on the liquor and one night when he
was stinko he tried to get in Mrs. Burbridge's
house by mistake, He was just twisted. 1t was
a natural mistake. Right across the street
and all. But she never forgot And once
Pickles SHE'D SNOWFALL into her solarium.
That didn't help. She never spoke to them.
How do you do, Mrs. Burbridge," Miss
Hunter answered back. Lovely afternoon"
you can wait for my Pop on the porch"
Pickles said to Miss Hunter But she whis-
pered, "Oh, can't we go in? would have to
make conversation with Mrs. Burbridge,"

and overweight and would he like to take
an extra rest period. So he said, ITS okay
with me-" and went in the Coatroom and
drew men on the plaster with piece of yellow
chalk.
After a while Miss Hunter came in She
looked at the drawings on the wall and didn't
seem to like them too much. Then she ap-
pealed to his chivalry
What the heck's that?" he asked her.
She told him how men are stronger than
women and are supposed to protect them on
that account. And he said, I'VE are not only
stronger but our brains are one-third bigger
than theirs too"
So she said he was rude and insubordinate
and would have to stay after school, which
was about the worst thing they ever did to a
guy and they hated to do that because then
they had to stay also, and they wanted to get
out of school just as much as the kids did
After about ten minutes they generally said
kid could go.
But this afternoon was different. Miss
Hunter really had her dander up, as Pop
would say. The other kids had no sooner
gone than she made Pickles come up by the
desk and pull the visitors chair over by her
and sit down in it.
! HEN she began. Why did he seem so bent
on being a problem to her? What did he have
against her? He disrupted the whole class,
ETC., etc. Pickles felt kind of ashamed, be-
cause she put it to him straight enough
So he said he didn't have anything special
against her. Only against all danes.
So she said where did he get that idea,
and he told her he and Pop both had that
idea, and Pop had had experience and wasn't
likely to be mistaken.
Miss Hunter looked kind of grim then and
said she was going to have a talk with his
father. Pickles thought she meant someday.
but not Miss Hunter. She pulled her little
blue hat down over her ears and said to come
right along.
