gram. We want to be sure there
will be plenty of game and fish for
our boys when they come back from
the armed forces.
Thursday morning, club director
Gene Benroth, students Warren
Sites, Dick Berky and myself as
club appointed refuge manager, had
a very interesting time releasing on
the college campus, % grey and
3 fox squirrels, which arrived by ex-
press from the Sandhill Came Farms
of Babcock, Wisconsin.
They seemed to make themselves
right at home with the exception of
one which Immediately crossed the
Riley Greek bridge and headed up
town. Later it was seen by Edgar
and Brooks Root in the middle of
the road near the Readrite plant,
Ed immediately recognized it as a
grey and said, "our shipment of
squirrels must have come in from
Wisconsin"
Many young fox squirrels have
been reported seen by faculty and
club members during the summer.
Most of the dens that were put up
last winter are occupied and more
are under construction for immediate
usage. The club extends hearty
thanks to the college folks for their
cooperation in making the game
sanctuary success.
Mayor Howe is doing his bit to
exterminate the red squirrels in the
vicinity of the Game Refuge. His
Honor states that in the past fifteen
years he has shot at least 120 reds,
and most of them from one walnut
tree in his back yard. In all the
shooting he believes he missed only
two shots. "That, mister is mighty
good shootin', l would hate to be
caught in your line of fire."

her brother Homer returned home on

Henry Gratz tells us this is the
first summer in his recollection that
bluegrass didn't turn brown because
of drought.
Sometimes penalties are pleasant.
In a husking bee at a Halloween
party given by Sara and Bill AM
stutz, at the Wilhelm Amstutz farm
Saturday night, Bob Gratz found the
only red ear of corn. He was too
bashful, so the girls said, to follow
the tradition so his penalty was to
kiss every girl present.
The young people then enjoyed
treasure hunt through the fields fol-
lowed by dancing to phonograph
music. Enjoying the affair were:
Mary Margaret Basinger, Jean Ann
Steinman, Esther Berky, Genevieve
Buhler, Alice Jean Bixel, Nadine
Altman, Mary Lou Schmidt, Mildred
Campbell, Eileen Weinhold, Sara
Amstutz.
James Daley, Bob Gratz, Dean
Niswander, Otto Klassen, Kenneth
Oberly, Charles Tripplehorn, John
Schmidt, Ronald Zimmerly, Kenneth
Winkler and Bill Amstutz.
Halloweeners seem to be more
active this year. Whether it's "a
war psychology that prompts the
young people to these actions is not
known but everyone has remarked
that the activities started earlier
this year and have been more in
tense. Nobody objects to harmless
fun but property destruction, espec-
tally in wartime, is an unpatriotic
act. We heard, for example, that
there has been some slashing of
bicycle tires. Such actions are not
only cowardly but not at all in keep
ing with the spirit of wartime vic
tory conservation.
A bunch of boys and girls attend
ing Joan Harmon's Halloween party
decided to take trip to the grave
yard Friday night to see if any of
the spirits had decided to return to
the mortal sphere. Evidently some
of the boys were tipped off and
the girls were in the middle of the
graveyard when a blood curdling
yell rent the air and they found
themselves being pursued by who
knows. Attending the party were:
Marjorie Klay, Louise Johnson,
Betty Morrison, Alice Schmidt, Col

Jane Huser, Jean Ann Burcky, Lois
Hauenstein, Richard Minck, ROLAND

An interesting note with so many
of the hunters from the state now in
the armed forces IS the fact that
hunting licenses sold in the state
total 614,000 since September /,
about $500 ahead of the correspond
ing 1941 period. Fishing license
sales for the year are ahead of the
number sold in 1941. These figures
were released by the assistant Con-
servation Commissioner, H. A. Rider,
and are just another good reason for
the Club to keep up their restocking
program.
Local license sales have increased
very notably. This year 450 fishing
licenses were sold in Bluffton and
in addition 200 hunting licenses have
already been bought. There is an
increase of 10 hunting licenses sold
to date over the corresponding
period of last year.
Robert Kohl, club member now
serving in the Army was pleased to
hear that the National Quarry has
been closed to fishing for the dura-
tion of the war; he told Pres. ST

of it all is highly mechanical. AS
substitutes for passing out chickens,
intimate pottery, washtubs, hot dogs
and similar items to members of the
audience, pelting it with peas or pea
nuts and otherwise jeopardizing its
sanity, the stunts look fatally forced.
Watching them fail really is one of
the more interesting aspects of the
picture-in its negative way.
H. c. Potter, who directed "Hellza-
poppin'," fell right into the spirit OF
the thing in trying to keep it moving
at a speed which might belle its
venerability When speed was i'm
possible, as it frequently proved to
be, he fell back upon such handy
devices as pretty bathing girls and
a couple of songs by Miss Frazee,
who is prettier than most bathing
beauties. Heaven for Two" which
you have been hearing, is one. The
other is You Were There" which is
not to be confused with Noel Cow
ards number of the same name
which you may remember from sew
eral years ago. The water ballet,
dancing and vocal passages are given
handsome production in every in
stance.
1t seems, however, like great deal
of wasted effort, although that is
what reviewers have been saying at
virtually deadly risk for the last
four years.

IN1i .. w WYNN ny oAAC ceSAAa~
name, which opened yesterday at
Loew's Capitol, is seriously afflicted
with the "cutes," more overwhelm-
ingly than anything that's been
.around in seven weeks.
Apparently, 1.-The Vanishing Vir-
ginian" was intended as a monu-
ment to one of the last few repre-
sentatives of what Is known as the
civilization of the old South, way
of life which Hollywood always re-
CARDS with awe and admiration,
possibly because it was at least
gracious and dignified, and not ex-
actly the way of life Hollywood
might find nearer home But what
comes out on the screen is sort of
milksop melange of the one about
the glory that was Dixie, "Life With
Father" and the one about the
woman who, for some reason, wants
her husband to abandon his career.
The central figure in this saga Is
Cap'n Bob Yancey, who represents
the law, sub, as Commonwealth at
torney at Lynchburg, Va, in 1918
when the picture opens. and who
continues to do so until he is de-
feated, by a Republican backed by
Northern money one might guess. in
1929 when the picture closes. Mr.
Yancey, as his wife so cutely calls
him throughout, seems sort of
refined Wallace Beery type, who
busters about, often hiding his heart
of gold, though never his regard for
the Bill of Rights or his disregard
for prohibition, under the sulphur
GUS fumes of his expressions of ire
These include, we feel called upon to
warn you, such quaint expressions
as "Sufferin' Savaranola!" and
"Bosh and Bullw1ips!"
There are number of other cute
little touches, including Stanley
Steamer, which the producers of
"The Vanishing Virginian" probably
hoped fondly would be quaint and
nostalgia. They're quaint and some
thing, all right. Perhaps the best
example of the cuteness of it all is
the manner in which the songs of
Miss Kathryn Grayson, who is
singer and after all must sing, have
been dragged in. Once, for no good
reason, she puts a record on the
gramophone and sings to couple

appreciation are supposed to be,

choir to deliver, tearfully, "Steal
Away"
There are some mighty silly 60
ings-on in "The Vanishing Vir-
ginian," all right, but we are fairly
certain that Ralph Morgan, Spring
Byington and others who take part
couldn't help it. SO don't blame
them.
Headliner of the Capitol's stage
show is Mr.. George Murphy, the
genial Irish dancer who went to
Hollywood to become a genial Irish
leading man. Mr. Murphy is not one
of your Hollywood personalities max
ing one of those "Im-so-thrilled-
to-meet-my lovely fans" personal
appearances, but is gent who has
not forgotten how to act when be-
fore an audience. He doesn't dance
as much as those who remember him
as dancer might wish. but he does
toss of couple of nimble routines
and that is something. And he
sings a couple of songs, tells a few
Jokes and altogether contributes an
agreeable interlude to thes show.

1t was logical enough for Olsen
and johnson to go on believing
in their original "Hellzapoppin'."
Vaudeville and burlesque comedians
always do and when they make all
that money out of a nightmare,
they are going to keep on having it.
They do, and they can.
Universal Pictures which hired
such additional help as Miss Raye,
Mischa Auer, Jane Frazee and Hugh
Herbert, did convince the pair that
a dull, little love story wouldn't hurt.
Accordingly between the mechanical
tricks, such as jerking characters
away on wires and balloons, spilling
q menagerie out Of a taxicab, and
the like, there are faint traces OF
romance to serve as intermlSSlons.
They justify the introduction Of
several musical numbers sung by
some people who don't seem very
enthusiastic about them either.
X X X
Further by way of celebrating the
running time of ''Hellzapoppin'," the
producers inserted a number OF
specialties. The Six Hits, group OF
colored instrumentalists who play
tricks on music, Slim and Slam, the
Congeroo dancers, and water bal
let all add their antics to the aggre-
cation which implies that he'll has
broken loose. Good enough each
of them is in its way, but apart from
the Congeroo dancers, they bear too
close a resemblance to many others
that you have been seeing In the
movies. The Congeroo dancers,
however, are a group of Harlemites
whose sophistication is not SO great
that they could not teach few
tricks to some dervish tribes whose
pictures you may have seen in the
National Geographic. The Congeroo.

The audience participation quality
which made the original "Hellza-
poppin'" the thing it was Is impoS-
sible to achieve on the screen, but
that does not keep Olsen and john
son from trying. They indulge
periodic asides to fellow named
Louis in the projection booth, and
occasionally have a few words to
say to the audience, but the flavor
