STATE

There's something thrilling in the air, and Warner Brothers have dra- matized 1t, photographed 1t in wonderfully natural technicolor and have presented 1t as Dive Bomber" which opened today at Warmers State theater with two of the screens most dashing heroes, Errol Flynn and Fred MacMurray for its co-StarS.
 Every type of fighting and obser- vation plane used by the United States Navy, including the newest super -bombers and fastest pursuit and interceptor planes off the as- sembly lines, were used in the film ing of the spectacular air drama.
 But what is more important from the Navy standpoint Is that the entire picture was filmed without interruption of any training of flight routine necessary under the current emergency defense program.
 Flynn is seen in the picture as a flight surgeon who Is out to over- come pilot fatigue, and develop a AAyAAA6 OuAts o4AAA4d4 OO tAtOoC tAoCNA by deep-sea divers, to relieve the pressure of high-flying and dive bombing. MacMurray plays g sea- soned pilot, who at first scoffs at the work Flynn is doing, but soon sees the importance of it and eventually makes the test flight that proves its worth. The personal rivalry between the two men is played up in 8 well-handled TO- mantle episode which features Alexis Smith, beautiful screen newcomer whose dramatic talents and photo genie qualities makes her excellent star material.
 The strange supporting cast inc cludes the capable Ralph Bellamy. Regis Toomey, Allen Jankins and Cliff Nazarro, Robert Armstrong, Craig Stevens and host of others.
 You'll sing out and swing out when you see the second big hit, "San Antonio Rose" which high light that famous tune, ''The Hut Sut Song, in addition to ten other songsations of the nation. Jane Frazee, Robert Paige, Lon Chaney, Jr., Eve Arden. shemp Howard and The Merry Macs are featured in the talented cast.

Diagrams Guide in Home Study
 Do you look ruefully at your at- tempts to be an advertising artist? Perhaps your main trouble is not knowing how to make your draw ings interesting.
 Commercial artists have 8 whole bag of tricks to add excitement to their folders or posters or what not. These methods you can study at home, teaching yourself. Z One of the first steps to learn is handling tone values = blacks, whites and grays. Begin, just for fun with travel poster temple columns against a night sky and a forest.
 Decide where you'll place your columns, sky, moon and forest. Then divide the poster into areas of gray, white and black-the white for brilliancy, black for accent and gray for quality, as in our sketch.
 See what strength and dignity those vertical lines-the columns give the posterl Horizontal lines would suggest peace and calm, oblique lines exciting action.
 This is the kind of knowledge that turns your crude" stuff into the art that sellsl Our 32-page booklet gives fundamentals of de- sign, color: explains techniques, let- tering, reproduction; also posters, booklets, other forms of advertising art. Tells how and where to sell art work.

PROTECTING CHILDREN

PROTECTING CHILDREN
 From an isolated northwestern village where there is apparently no physician the mother of a four teen year year old boy writes against what she regards as perse- cutiOn by the school and health authorities, who, she suspects, are Nazis, or in sympathy with Nazl principles. The boy, says mother, is such 8 good example of undoped boy" that 1t seems a crime to "flll him with dope and poison" The boy has won various awards for scholarship, athletic accomplish nnents in school field meets and character. Now mother doesn't want him filled with heaven knows what" To prove there is good ground for her anxiety she incloses a blank sent by the county health authorities to all parents in the school district.
 The health department blank asks whether the child has been vaccinated for protection against smallpox; whether the child has been irnuunized against diphthe- ria: and whether the child has had 8 tuberculin test, x-ray of chest, and complete physical examination. Finally it asks, that the parent an- swer the questions and return the blank to the teacher.
 From the incidental observations in the. letter concerning the atti- tude and methods of the teacher, l infer that this is the tactical error in the health departments pro- gram. After all, school teachers are rarely qualified to administer health or even to teach hygiene, except the few who have had social training in physical or health edu- cation.
 The health departments blank .inquires the name of the fam- fly physician. It might be more in order to instruct parents to re- turn such information to the fam lily physician = but unfortunately in many communities the local health department feels its oats, so to speak, and fails to cooperate with the family physician tends to treat the family physician rather as an incompetent and very likely llntrustworthy individual who just doesn't understand the highly al- trusitic object of local health ad- ministratioY.
 This mother asks for my view or opinion, and in the hope that she really wants 1t and accepts it as sincere I give 1t here.
 If I had a child or children of any age in school I'd want to be sure they were vaccinated against smallpox, Schick- tested and if the test showed susceptibility irnlnu- nized against diphtheria. I'd want them to have the boon of tuberculin test and, if this gave positive re- action I'd want them to have both the chest X-ray and the physical examination.
 It is astonishing to find the strange views expressed by this mother in a letter so well written, worded, spelled and punctuated. I suppose the good soul has been misled by anti-vaccinationists and other propagandists who have no use for the medical profession or any of its works.
 For the benefit of other parents who have young children, I advise vaccination preferably within the first six months and immunization against diphtheria before the child is three years old.

GIorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service staff Writer


 Do your autumn weekend plans include picnic or 8 stroll among the turning leaves? Then here's a thought: NOBODY is immune to poison ivy, and the leafy pest can put you in bed for month. A very slight brush with the poison may give you a rash that will mar your skin for days.
 Furthermore, autumn is really the season to look sharply for the danger signal: the three leafed stem. Everybody reminds you about 1t in summer. But the fact is there's likelihood of overlooking poison ivy when cold nights come, too. For its leaves turn also; they acquire just the brilliant hues that you're looking for when you go gathering Sprigs to decorate your apartment. NO REMEDIES ARE
 SURE CURES
 A pharmacist turned beauty Spe- cialiSt has just announced some thing special for poison ivy victims. It is the old favorite remedy, cala- mine, with something added to pre- vent it's turning the skin brash pink. This product, however, is not available generally yet.
 And calamine is no sure cure for poison ivy-there is no certain cure. There is one worthwhile pre- ventive that works most of the time. If you've been exposed to the poison, take 8 shower the mo- ment you get home, and scrub your body well with plain kitchen soap.
 But poison ivy could have been the original inspiration of the idea that prevention is better than cure. And the best preventative is-stay away from three-leafed plants. No matter what the shape, or texture of the foliage, leave it politely alone unless you're absolutely certain you know your creeperS.
 Virginia Creeper and Boston Ivy, commonly mistaken for the poison ous plant, have five leafs to the stem. If you can't remember about three and five, better step aside for both kinds of stems. That's much the safest way to insure your return to work with a healthy com plexion.

POLI'S

Stars, thrills, drama, all combine to make "Dr. Jekyn and MT. Hyde" now at the Loew Poli Theater one. of the seasons most exciting films. Spencer Tracy plays the dual titlee character, Ingrid Bergman is seen for the first time as a "bad girl, and Lana Turner is cast as Tracy's fiancee.
 It is Tracy's delineation of the,' dual personality of the good Dr. Jekyl and the evil MT. Hyde which again proves his artistry. He had no need of superfluous horror makeup for MT. Hyde. His change of facial expression achieved even more than any makeup alone could have done.
 Miss Turner definitely steps into the category of dramatic. actresses as Beatrix Emery. She injects a spirited flavor to the role of the Victorian girl who is willing to defy convention for the love of her sweetheart and more than justi- flies her recent elevation to star. Z dom.
 More superlatives may be used to describe the performance of In- grid Bergman as Ivy Peterson, bar. room entertainer ill-fated from the moment her path. crosses that of Jekyll. Her scenes of terror before the menacing Hyde will long be re- membered.

 e. I have a large bed of nas- turtiums, and have heard that the seeds can be pickled and used in salads and as a substitute for cap- CTS. How is this done2
 A. Collect the seeds while young and tender. Place them in a double boiler: cover with strong cold brine; let stand for an hour, then place on the stove and bring to a boil. When they have boiled up once, take them out of the boiling juice, place in suitable jars and cover them with boiling hot spiced picking liquid Or, have at hand a jor of sweet ened spiced vinegar and into this drop the seeds, pickled as they ac- cumulate during the season and be- fore they become hard and woody. They can be used as an agreeable addition to salads and sandwiches or as an excellent substitute for capers.
 e. Why is ice in an icebax. or the evaporator coil in a mechani- cal refrigerator. placed near the top of the cabinet instead of the bottom?
 A. The ice or cold evaporator coil cools the air immediately surround ing 1t. Cool air is heavier than warm air and sinks, displacing the warm air, causing 1t to rise in the cabinet. This produces continual circulation of air and distributes the cool air throughout the re fTigeratcr.

 cated girl who can do her work as a domestic in half the hours her husband spends at his job and who finds it hard to keep the leftover hours filled day after day.
 If she spends her time educating herself about national and world affairs in keeping up with the good books, and in general turning her. self into a person of culture and awareness, she often finds herself geared too high for her husband, who hasn't read anything heavier than a detective story since he finished school and who yawnS through any conversation that gets above story swapping. AMBITION
 WITHOUT OUTLET
 Then there is the woman with more ambition, pep. and get-up-ard- get than she can find any real use for. So she turns herself into a bossy, autocratic club-woman, al- ways excited over some cause, even when it isn't worth getting excited about. The numerous clubs and causes that keep her chasing around in circles are just result of her being geared too high for the rather placid life of 6 housewife.
 And in every large business con- cern there is at least one and often a number of brilliant, selw-assured. ambitious girls who are unhappy in their jobs because they know they are too good for them and would be moving lip into positions of much greater responsibility except for the fact that they are women. They are geaFed too high for their cppor- tlinitiea.
 Whether CT not the woman speeder's defense of her fast drive ing was legitimate or not, there are lots q women ln the world goared too high for the speed limits Go- clety piis upon them simply because they are women.
