missed by anyone.
Based OH popular magazine SER
ial by Barre Lyndon the picture
brings to the screen an entirely new
background, the hinterlands of Bri-
tain's Kenya Colony in Central East
Africa.
Briefly, the story revolves around
small group of white men who rule
over several hundred thousand
blacks and are in constant danger
OF humiliation by semisavage tribes,
especially when the latter are pro-
vided firearms by enemy agents.
Ella, the stellar character, is played
by the lovely dark beauty, Gene
Tierney. Supposedly the half-caste
daughter of rich Arab trader, the
hauntingly beautiful Zia and her
mysterious action provide the story
with spirited romance and breath
taking suspense.
Shutdown" Is reputed to be wholly
unlike any other picture previously
filmed, with a locale that Is off the
beaten track and with story that
maves across the screen at thrill
ing and suspense-packed pace.
Strictly story Of today, Shutdown"
reveals the efforts Of enemy agents
to break Britain's hold on her
strategic stronghold in Africa.
And for your further enjoyment
the management will present q star

ded hit Sing Another Chorus" with

Chinese Relieve British

The recapture from the japanese Of point
in the heart Of west Burma's oil fields by
Chinese forces with the consignment relief of
beleaguered British soldiers totaling several
thousand is not to be considered major
engagement But it is heartening for many
reasons the chief of which is that it indi-
Gates China is getting more of her fighting
men into action in highly strategic at
a critical time
British retirement in west Burma has ex-
posed the flank of the Chinese battling the
enemy to the east and making their position
well nigh untenable. The heavy japanese pres
sure there has threatened break through for
some time Unless the flank could be COW
cred and a major attack from that point pre-
vented, the hope of holding Burma would be
slight indeed.
Thus the battle at Yenangyaung has sig
nificance not to be measured by the number
of men engaged alone 1t gives the Chinese
another front to hold, to be sure, but it also
raises hope that, with their flank protected,
the Chinese will be better able to withstand
the attack on the main Burma front.

fires, which are all unnecessary.
This state is rapidly losing one OF It's great
est assets-its pine forests-because the peo-
pIe as whole refuse to recognize the neeo
for conservation, and the utter nutility OF burn
ing over fields in the spring preparatory to
crop planting
Thousands upon thousands of acres covered
with young pine are the scene of costly fires
because the torch is applied to brush and
weeds bodering woodland tracks. In few
wears this young growth would be worth many
millions of dollars. AS it is, it is worthless
The idea that the ashes left after field fires
add fertility to the soil is an exploded myth
They do not. Instead they decrease fertility.
The habit of firing fields creates double
loss. in the productivity of the fields them
selves and in the destruction of young timber.
