FoncieS
By Paul Harrison

HOLLYWOOD, June 22-Among
the benefits certain to come from
the war are the elimination of
those is1terminabie screen credits
which SO long have tried the pa
tience of movie-goers, and the
shortening of screen trailers adj
vertising coming attractions.
It's all in the interest of war
economy, since film contains a
good many chemicals and materials
used in explosives. Washington had
warned that something had to be
done. SO a local film conservation
committee is trying to forestall
heavy-handed action by WPB
By chopping out some of the eX-
travagant claims and often mis-
leading excerpts from pictures be-
ing advertised, most trailers will be
reduced to $50 feet, or about 80
seconds running time Trailers for
top-budget pictures MAJ last two
and one-half minutes. This move
should save 100000 feet of raw
film annually.
1t was an awful wrench for Hol-
lywood to cut the screen credits
to mere listing of stars and fea-
tured players. Gn fact, at this
wrinting, the various guilds haven't
voted consent, though it's almost
certain they will

and the choir will present for the

During his absence the Rev. Sears
will attend the Southern California
Arizona annual conference, IN Los
Angeles and at this conference the
local church will have one OF the
outstanding reports in its history.
During the past year III new
members have been received into
the church; a payment of $4,000 has
been made on the church indebted
ness; Sc baptisms have been featur-
ed; there has been 20 per cent
increase in attendance at the church
school, and in addition the social

GL0R|FYING
YOURSELF
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Service Staff Writer


Comfort is the mode in beauty
and that really means something
in terms of your summer perm
anent.
In the first place, leading style
originators are cutting hair short
er even when they leave you
enough length to pin up your locks
formally once in while. The
briefer locks simplify the waving
process considerably.
And more - new war-inspired
methods are cooler, lighter, quick
er. Instead of scarce metal, wood
curling rods are used. Heavy wired
equipment is going out, and good
salons come up with solutions and
advices which do the job much
more comfortably fo- the customer.
One new one, just about to be
introduced, keeps some customers
under a regular dryer just about
five minutes after the curls are
wound on the spindle-like rods.
One little machine to heat the
rods-away from the lady's head
enables the expert to give the
shampoo, the wave, the rinse and
the set so swiftly that some wom-
en- are in and out of the salon in
less than two hours. This process
was figured out in Paris.
Another new wave employs a
turban. When the locks are wound,
your head is done up, and out of
the salon you go to shop or do
anything you please while the wav-
ing solution works. You return
to the salon for .our rinse and
set.

MIND YOUR
MANNERS

Test your knowledge of correct
social usage by answering the fol-
lowing questions, then checking
against the authoritative answers
below:
l. Is it considerate to talk in
such a low voice that the person to
whom you are talking has to keep
asking, you to repeat what you
said?
2 If you don't know something,
is it good conversational manners
to say so frankly?
3. Is it good manners to say
to the parents of a child, Just
wait until he's a little cider; then
he really will be cute?
4. Should you tell parents whose
child is cutting his first tooth at
seven months, that all your chill
dren had several teeth when they
were that age?
S. If someone tells a funny ex-
perience should you say, That
very same thing happened to me
once?
What would you do if
Your house guest asks you which
of several dresses she should wear
to party
(A) Say, Il think the blue would
be lovelr"?
(B) Say, rs doesn't matter; any
of them will do?
ANSWERS
l. No.
2. Yes. Better than pretending
that you do.
3. No. The parents probably
think the child is tops right now.
5. No. That detracts from his
story.

Our land has protected the

It is a sad thing to say, but our
people have become a careless
pleasure-loving, selfish people. A

If you will not return unto God
your country will suffer. If your
country fails God at this time
then the world will suffer.
The whole world is looking tt
