in this latest of her films. For the first time she releases the film story of the most dramatic, difficult and exciting part of her African adven- tlIre. "African Paradise" has never before been shown to the public and is unique among the Johnson pro- auctions. It is full of romance and thrilling action of travel in Africa, the story of the discovery of Lake Paradise deep in the African wilder ness. We see the Johnson home high on the edge of volcanic crater in the prirneval forest. We see life lived in the midst of vast herds of ele- plants, rhinoS, lions and every man. ner of wild game which has enjoyed this undisturbed sanctuary for cen- turies past. There are thrilling ad- ventures with big game and some narrow escapes. The virgin territory of the film is greater in area than the State of Kansas and an area so beautiful and mysterious, SO primi- tive and unspoiled that it royalty well deserves the name of Para. dise".
 Every reservation for the evening lecture has been taken. There are a few reservations available for the afternoon lecture. This lecture is primarily intended for children and young people but adults may attend if 50 desired.

Dr. Custer, History TeaCh- CT, Also Claims America
 Must Accept War

Asserting that France, England and the United States must bear some of the responsibility for the present world conflict, and for the rise of Hitler. which provoked it, Dr. John S. Custer, history teacher at Avon Old Farm School, told the Waterbury Industrial Foremen's club at the YMCA last evening that this country must accept the state of war which has been thrust upon us"
 Dr. Custer, a former Rhodes scholar, and for thirty years . teacher of history, spoke at sup- per meeting at the 'Y' which some 200 persons attended. His argument was that this was obviously our war, since Hitler and Goebbels have ad- mitted the eternal opposition be- tween the totalitarian and the democratic worlds; and that there fore without actually declaring war, we should repeal the neutrality act and give more active and open aid to Great Britain.
 Admitting that he did not know whether Hitler could be defeated without an invasion of the contin. ent. the sepaker suggested that he might be overthrown by the rising of conquered nations, and the alien ation of other members of the Axis,
