"It is all too evident that we need to revive the non -conformist tradition in our Christian churches" said Rev. pr. John c. Walker, Sec- ond Congregational church pastor, yesterday morning in his sermon, Life Needs An Edge
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 The pressure of the world falls on the church and its people. We are asked to conform, to accept, to tolerate. Well on the moral and spiritual issues of the day we re- fuse to conform. It may be good form in certain circles to take a cocktail more or less regularly but I for one, have no suspicion what ever that 1t is good Christianity The man who professes no particu- lar allegiance to Christ may feel free to gamble @ bit or take a fling at bingo or a lottery but cannot my self fit that into the Christian pat tern of life. The man Of the world may take an easygoing, ron-com- initial attitude toward great many things which may be the common ly accepted order of the day but the thoughtful Christian will make sharp distinctions and difhcult

Just so they (the pictures) do not
come too close together" is her
major qualification.
One says major" because there
are others.
The ma jor one of the minor quail
flcations to her love for the part has
TO do with its costuming.
1t is not its primitive aspects. Miss
OSullivan does not expect Adrian

lection to the leopard fashion with
which she must comply Is that the
skins are stiff, roughish and I'M
yielding.

van with dainty shudder, they
are worse in all three respects"

in whose canyons 30 many movie
people live.
How" she wants to know, could
any one rear a child on one of those
overhanging chasms?"
And, in her question, one familiar
with the Hollywood terrain fnds
answer to the old wonderment at
never seeing a child in the suburbs
where SO many cinema successes
have built their sprawling monu-
ments of fortune.
Miss O'Sullivan, who can be put
down as a sentimental Irish mother,
as what Irish mother isn't, is none
of your cinema stars to hide her
sons light under any bushel. Where
she goes, he goes. Her first expla-
nation of that is that she does not
want him to be lonely. Her sec
ond, with sn honest laugh at her.
self, is that she doesn't want to be
lonely either.
Miss O'Sullivan, let her tell you
with admirable courage in one so
small, is a mother who has named
her son Michael with no fear that he
will be called Mike.
Michael Is q beautiful name and
he will be called that" she says
with a flnality that bodies no good
for the lazy fledgling humans he
may encounter in his school days
She is very convincing about 1t,
which ought to be inspiring to
other mothers, and potential moth
ers, who regard Michael as a won-
derful name, but too full of hazards.
