STUDENT DAY

Methodist Churches Plan Fist Annual Observance
 Next Sunday

More than 8,OOO,OOO Methodists in over 43,O00 churches throughout the country will mark the Fist annual observance of Methodist Student Day, Sunday, June IA. Contribu- tions that day will 90 to the Stu dent Loan fund to assist those stu- dents who otherwise might not be able to continue their college edu- cation.
 This years observance of Method ist Student Day, originally known as Childrens or College Day, will serve a double purpose, Doctor Harry Wright McPherson, director of the Fund in Nashville, said to- day.
 Donations may be made in de- fense savings stamps and bonds" he said, mot only providing for the immediate aid of our country, but building toward its future security and happiness"
 The Fund had Its humble origin in 1872 and the following year 9 students received $500 toward their college fees. In the ensuing 70 years the Fund has loaned more than 49O0O,OOO to over 60,0O0 stu dents.
 Loan recipients range from bish- ops to missionaries and from col- lege presidents to all branches of professional men and women. At the present time, nearly 40 bishops and college presidents in 2S states and in India are among those who received help in their college years.
 We are fighting on many fronts today" Doctor McPherson said, mot only for survival but especially for those tenets of Christianity and democracy which alone make Amer ica fit to survive. It is of vital im- portance that as many students as possible complete their higher edu- cation before being called into the nations armed services"

STATE

Plenty of sure-fire entertainment was afforded local theatergoers att tending Warmers State theater this afternoon when "T71e Big Shot" starr ring Humphrey Bogart in his best role to date began an engagement of four days.
 On the side of law and order in such recent successes as '"The Mal- tese Falcon" and "AlI Through the Night" Bogart now returns to his underworld haunts as a full-hedged gangster in the new thrill film.
 Tough is a meek word to describe the type of role played by Bogart in this film, and only he could do full justice to 1t, according to ad- vance reports. He ducks the police like a plague and tries to give equal- attention to his former cohorts, but the effort is useless.
 In the feminine lead is a new conner to the screen, lovely blonde Irene Manning, girl whose dra- matic ability coupled with her fine voice, although she doesn't sing in this film, Is a sure ticket to screen success.
 The pace of the film is rapid but never does it's speed give you the feeling that anything has been cut short or left out. Its continuity flows smoothly and holds out. The dialogue is brisk and realistic, lend- ing spice and color to the prcduc- ton.
 ''The Big Shot" has a fine sup- porting cast made up of Richard Travis, Susan Peters, Chick Cham dler, Howard de Silva and many more.
 Tn addition to this thrill hit the management proudly presents "S.ng Your Worries Away" hot-shOt musical that will keep you Iaugh- ing from start to finish. Alvina Rey. famous band leader who proves that swing can be both solid and sweet, and his orchestra together with the King Sisters are featured in the picture with such fayoElte i comedians as Bert Lahr, Buddy Eb- sen, June Havoc and Patsy Kelly

 First, they provide burial for a man = either in a national cerne- tery or wherever his family wishes. All shipping is paid for and trans portation of one escort furnished. A special storm flag" used for the ceremony, becomes the property of the mans nearest relative.
 Beside all back pay, an extra six month gratuity allowance is made to the family as matter of course. And, in addition, a very reasonable type of total war risk insurance, known as National Serv- ice Life Insurance, is available up to $10,OOO to any service man as a greater protection for his family.

ENLIST AND SAVE MONEY

 Washington, June 10.-It's fine that U. s. fighting men and their families will have more dollars to spend = through the new pay-in- crease bill or the allotments and allowances proposal. But the army and navy regularly provide lots of ways for a man in uniform to Strech dollar, the civilians might well envy.
 Besides getting that free ''chow'' you hear so much about, a fellows clothing problem is simplified as soon as he joins the armed forces. Privates and enlisted seanen, of course, are given Q complete basic outfit--fromt shorts to necktie.
 OFFICERS ARE NOT
 so FORTUNATE
 Officers, leEs fortunate, receive seem big, but actually only gives a guy a start on that fabulous wardrobe of dress, Undress work, rain, arctic and tropic ensembles every well-dressed officer re- quires.
 Though a fashion-minded man may pay metropolitan tailorS top prices for elegantly-cut olive drabs or special gold-cuff stripes, there are regulation army and navy stores where enlisted men and thrifty officers can bull stand ard items and replacements at more or less fixed prices. Hankies come around 3 or 4 cents, for in- stance; plain sturdy black oxfords
 Nearly everything a man on duty buys at the Army Post Ex- change or Navy Ships Service small stores" is limited in profit. On board battleship 8 man may buy shaving soap-or perfume for his girl at just 10 per cent mark up over the Navy purchase price. Laundry too, is reasonable.
 No one needs to remind fur- lough-hungry gobs and rockies that they can get train tickets at a low cent-arld-a-quarter per mile. With fewer motorists on the road to give numbers a ride, this Serv- ice rate will be more welcome than ever.
 FINEST MEDICAL CARE
 COSTS HIM NOTHING
 Think for a moment, now, of the doctors and dentists bills a mem Der of the armed forces can laugh off once he's signed up. Complete medical care and disqualification Is his while he is in service. If he cracks up on active duty, either Army or Navy is responsible for total care, although it may Some- times mean flying for 8 particularly delicate operation. If he's laid up on furlough, the man is still en- titled to full treatment at Army or Navy hospitals - even if he has busted his hand in purely pri- vate round of fisticuffs.
 Families of men or officers may receive courtesy treatment at regu- lar post or base hospitals or clin- ics-if there is room for them and provided they pay minimum charges for drugs and X-rays or hospital bed space.
 Looking on the more macabre side of soldering or sailoring, there's always the chance that a man will be casualty and leave his dependents without any sup- port. Besides the complicated pen- sion and compensation system run by the Veterans Administra- tion to care for widows, children
