MA SERVICE StoIk NOTIeSpOuucus
HOLLYWOOD, March 10
Every studio in town has been
trying to turn out a war time
service picture which will make
Johnny want to get his gun and
20 after those so-and-so'S across
the oceans.
It's a hard job, and getting
tougher by the hour. Leaders
of our military forces naturally
are in favor of such movies, but
men and equipment are too busy
with the vital drama of training,
transport and action to pause
and pose in front of Hollywood S
cameras.
The worst of it is that the pres
ent conflict is too stupendous,
colossal and terrific for Holly
wood to reproduce. The movie
magicians think nothing of such
tasks as staging the destruction
of Pompeii by Vesuvius, or the
parting of the Red Sea for the
flight of the Israelites, or the
burning of Chicago, or the mum
dation of cities by tidal waves.
But give 'em any little sector of
World War ii and they begin to
sob with Illustration. They need
planes and tanks and ships and
men.
There is an obvious limit to
the reproduction in miniature of
modern warfare. And the day is
past when a studio could get by
with a fleet of nondescript old
crates masquerading as war
worthy fighting planes. or with

HiehIiqhts from
the Latest Books
BY JAMES E. HILBERT

Craig Rice. who has been
writing hard boiled detective
yarns starring Jake Justus and
Helene Brand, has turned her
expert hand to something else in
the way of mystery fiction in
"Telefair" Macmillan: $2.50).
Discarding the rye and rough
house technic of her earlier
b ks, Miss Rice employs a
slower and subtler method of ap-
preach in Telefair, creating an
atmosphere of dream-like hor-
ror and suspense through the
use of symbols, ghostly legends,
and fantastic landscape.
The orphaned David Telefair,
after completing his education,
goes to the island which bears
his family name at the request OF
his great-uncle Philip, who lives
there in the great old Telefair
house with his daughter and his
doctor. Charmed by the island
and its inhabitants, David in
herits the estate. But in the
midst of his delight he grows
frightened and disturbed at the
kind of life that moves through
Telefair. Eventually the secret
comes to light in all its compli-
Gated mystery, nd only then
does David understand why he
was made the heir to Telefair.
This book has something Of
the same suspense of "Rebecca."
A mood of excitement is created
and sustained with no mean
skill, and it is surprising how
fresh Miss Rice has made that
old family-curse plot. Nothing
new has been added, but the
whole is a pleasant blend.

He began it, to be sure, but the
absurd prejudices of Muriel, his

WASHINGTON, March 10
-One of the best mirocle octs
ever posed by these congress-
men you people out in the
country do manage to find,
elect and send to Washington
has been this bill granting con-
eressmen q pension. Not, how
ever, for the reason you think.
The pension bill itself hos
been repealed now, so there's
no real danger from that ex-
trovoeonce. But the mere pos
soee of the original bill eront-
ing the pensions wos q fine
thing for the reason that it
made everybody so mad. It
mode the voters so mad they
started writing letters of pro-
test and throwing verbal bad
eggs with such accuracy the
congressman woke up to the
fact thot taxpayers will stond
for just so much and no more.
And it stiffened the gelatin
Gus spines Of some of the
statesmen who deep down in
their hearts have known it was
wrong to keep on spending and
spending, but none the less
kept on voting unquestionin9ly
for each succeeding oppropri-
alton bill just because it SEEM
ed the smart thing to do.
AGRICULTURE BILL
A TARGET
For q manifestation of the
wholesome effect this "beot-
some e n S e into your
congressman" campaign had,
you need look no further than
the record of the House Of
Representatives in considering
the Department of Agriculture
Appropriation bill. For the post
nine years, these bills have
sWished through the House in
two or three days, though they
called for appropriations rising
from $247 million in 1882 to
Sl.2 billions in lo4l. Few
congressman understood what
they we're voting for, but it was
all for the formers so they
passed it with q loud "oye!"
and then went home and told
the voters, "Look what ! did,"
But not this year. The Aeri-
culture Appropriation Act for

Columbiand County Public
Health League To Extend
Services Without Cost

Because 18 civilian workers are re-
quired to equip and supply one man
on the war front, this conflict will be
won in the factories and on the farms,
says DR.. Kendall Emerson, managing
director of the National tuberculosis
Association, in the January issue of
The Bulletin, the monthly magazine
Of the association.
"Victory depends always on the
heroes of the air, the oceans and the
land, but all these would be powerless
without the equipment necessary for
mechanical warfare. Those who work
must be kept as effective as the fight
ing men. On the health of the work
ers, we must rely for victory" he
writes.
DR.. Emerson's article is in direct
line with the plans for the coming
year Of the Columbiana County Public
Health League, according to DR.. Guy
f. Byers, president of the Columbiana
County Public Health League. "The
home front is the sphere Of immedi-
ate action of our association" says
DR.. Byers. "Our part is to help raise
the national level by fighting the
spread of tuberculosis, which is still
the chief killer of persons between Is
and 45-the very group this country
most needs"
DR.. Byers pointed out that in 10
large cities in the United States,
where defense industries are concen-
trated, tuberculosis has already
shown an increase. This, DR.. Byers
said, is undoubtedly due to overtime,
increased strain and overcrowded liv-
ing conditions.
1t is the hope of the board of trus-
tees of the Columbiana County Public
Health League that we will be able to
extend our services to the industries
Of the county following much the
same procedure that we now follow in
the schools, that is, offering the patch
tests to the employees without cost and
where possible assisting and arrang-
ing for the chest X-rays where it is
advisable.

Merchant Marine Z
Employment Seen
Doubling By l943

Washington QLNS). - The total
number of jobs for Americas deep
sea merchant seamen has been little
affected by the curtailment of normal
maritime commerce since the outbreak
of war in Europe in September, 1889,
according to survey made by the
Division of Economics and Statistics
of the United States Maritime Com
mission.
Repeal of Neutrality Act restric-
tions on freedom of movement by
American merchant ships and the rap
idly increasing output of new vessels
from the nations shipyards, it is
pointed out, should eliminate future
job shortages for skilled seamen. Pre-
liminary estimates show that the total
number of deep-sea jobs in the indus
try will be almost doubled by the end
Of 1943.
Upon the basis of these estimates
the training program of the Maritime
Commission for both officers and sea-
men to man the greatly expanded
American merchant marine of the fu-
ture has been doubled. About 600 new
ocean going cargo vessels are expected
to be delivered into service by Amer
lean shipyards by the end of 1912
and an additional like number by the
end of 1943 under present commission
construction plans.
The conclusion to be drawn from
the survey is that the restrictions i'm
posed on American maritime COM
'merce by the war have had but slight
effect on the total employment of sea-
men, which has fluctuated around 50,-
600 over the period surveyed. Using
that figure as basis for future esti-
mates, it is believed America is des-
tined to reach an all-time high in the
employment of seafaring men by late
1912 or early 1943.

One Of the women listed wrote a

this list also is spinach.

Not a labor woman on the list. Not
a social service worker; not an econ

anything to the righting of wrongs
and the progress Of the human race.
The list is said to be one Of "young"
women but it isn't stated how young
a woman has to be to be classified
as young. Some Of the names-not
to be catty-don't sound too young.
The whole thing is just little bit

"Wagnerian soprano" if we could find
in the list instead the name Of some
