December 2, 1912, making her
stay on earth "a years, 6 months
and 3 days.
She protested faith in Christ at
an early age and was a member
of the Healing Springs Baptist
church and lived faithful
Christian to the end. She was
loved by all who knew her and
always had an encouraging word
and a smile for everybody she
met.
She was married to Buford
Gentry Waller. of Fries, Va, Au-
gust Is, 1888 and to this union
was born one son, John Eddie
Waller, now three years old.
Minnie Lee had been in bad
health for several months but
never became discouraged. Her
doctors reported her health i'm
proving until a short while be-
fore her death. Then she had a
heart attack. She had written
her mother just a few hours be-
fore she died that she was feel
ing worse but not to worry about
her for she would be all right.
She was a lover of poetry and
wrote her mother so many verses.
Following is one of her poems:
How could I do without Him.
,, Jesus is more to me than all the
richest, fairest gifts of earth
could ever be. But the more I
find Him precious, and the more
I find Him true; the more ! long
for you to find, what he can do
for you.
She wrote what she call her
creed to her father before he
died, of which he was very proud:
To live as gentle as can. To
be no matter where I am. To
take what comes of good or ill,
and cling to faith and honor still.
To do my best and let it stand.
The record Of my brain and hand
and then should failure come to
me; still work and hope for vic
tory. To have no secret place
within, nor stoop to unseen
shame or sin. To be the same
when all alone las when by ev-
cry deed is known. To leave
some simple mark behind. To
keep my having lived in mind.
To play my little part nor whine,
that greater honors are not mine.
This I believe is all I need, for
my philosophy and my creed.
She leaves her mother, Cora
Jean Andrews; her brother, Jess
Willard Andrews, of Portsmouth,
Va; her husband, Bufor(l Gentry
Waller, and her son. Of T ries, Va,
to mourn their loss. Yes. sh> is

rickety cars standing in the yards
and dreary looking clothes flap
ping on lines. Lean, faded women
came to the doors of these shacks,
looked out hopefully, patiently
watched them pass; dirty children
scrambled out of the road; dogs
skunk into bushes-the hungry,
vague, hopeful fringe of humanity
that fingers on the edge of every
oil field. The men, muscled and
lean, waited for rough-neck jobs,
pipe-laying jobs, any scrap from
the vast, teeming feast of ex-
ploitation.

STRAND

Because Waterbury demanded it, the Strand will hold over Some where I'll Find You", for four ad- ditional days, Saturday through Tuesday, when you view this time ly film co-starring Clark Gable and Lana Turner, you'll understand why 1t has been eliciting naught but the highest praise. It is a story as timely as today's dispatches from the front and 1t is handled superb fy by the stars; supporting cast and direction.
 Gable and Sterling, as brothers. and newspaper men, are both in love with Miss Turner, also cor respondent in Indo China. The ri- valry is rudely interrupted by the bombing of Pearl Harbor, which throws them into the maelStrom as something more than neutral ob- servers. The girl disappears and the brothers go after her, fighting through jungle and Japs to find her transporting Chinese children to 8 place of safety. It develops that her real love has always been for the older brother, Gable, although she was half engaged to Sterling.
 In the spectacular action of the first stages of the war with Japan, Sterling is hit, Gable and the girl are reunited and the story ends on note that leaves the feeling of eventual American victory. The supporting cast is excellent mclud- ing Patricia Dane, as beautiful adventures in the Far East, Regi- nald Owen and Lee Patrick, as denizens of Greenwich Village in
