Christmas To Be
First Holiday
For Wor Workers

Donald M. Nelson, WPB chair
man. has suggested that Christmas
be celebrated as the first full holi-
day for war production workers
since Pearl Harbor. In a statement
issued last week, Mr.. Nelson said
he believes this day should be the
one exception to the rule which has
been observed so far" that war
workers forego traditional holidays
in the interest of greater produc-
ton.

"A Yonk at Eoton ="
Another Triumph
For Mickey Rooney

Mickey hooney proves again why
he is Hollywood's number one star
in "A Yank at Eton.' The new Met
ro-Goldwyn-Mayer film coming
Sunday and Monday at the Koote-
mai theatre, is acclaimed as another
triumph for tie inimitable Roo
ney.
As a typical American boy in
England S most exclusive school,
Mickey has some of the most hi
larious scenes of his film career,
and some of the most dramatic. He
plays American football and Eng
lish cricket. He runs a steeplechase.
He leads Il little Elton boys in a
slapstiok brawl with four husky
walters of a roadside inn. And he
licks the Elton bully.
In short, there isn't much that
Mickey doesn't do.
After a few preliminary events
in America, and shipboard ro-
nance with cute, red-haired Tina
Thayer, the action really gets into
full swing when Mickey arrives in
England and is enrolled at Eton.
Resolved to dislike his new sur
roundings, he gets into one scrape
after another. Then, when Freddie
Bartholomew, as his English step
brother, is suspected of stealing the
housemaids car and wrecking it,
Mickey takes the rap and IS
sacked"
But, when he learns that Fred
die isn't guilty, he sets out to prove
his own innocence. He does it. too,
just in the nick of time, to be re-
instated and run in the big steeple-
chase, which he wins from the
school bully
While Mickey is his usual brilliant
self as THE Yank,' Freddie Bar
tholomew, playing in his fifth pic
ture with Rooney, also is outstand-
ing. Now a full head taller than
Mickey, he is hard to recognize as
the little boy who once starred in
David Copperfield,'

Bird Cage Curios

Ancient bird cages are more than
ornamental curios or collectors
items. Oddly enough. through these
miniature art works by master
craftsmen can be traced the archi-
tectural history Of many lands and
civilizations.
For in these homes for domestic
birds were reproduced dwellings of
the period. says the Christian Sci
ence Monitor. They are also sig
nificant because they show the in
stinct Of men-Whether king or
peasant--to beautify the common
place objects of the household.
