THE CHILD WHO
BARGAINS
By LUCIA MALLORY

When Il child is always ready to bar
gain in order to get what he wants, it
is almost certain to be the parents or
other older members of the family who
are to blame. Sometime they have
yielded to what seemed to them to be
the easiest way-tO offer a bribe so as
to have no argument about what they
wished to have done.
When Gertrude was asked to wash
and dry the cups and saucers which
her mother had used for an afternoon
tea, the little girl looked shrewdly at
her parent and came back instantly
with the proposition, "Ill wash the
sups and saucers, Mommie, if you'll
give me money to buy Il red belt for
my white dress"
Gertrude was granted the money and
she collected it before she washed the
few cups and SiucerS. She even went
and bought her belt first, at nearby
store. .
Can YOU wander that she has grown
everything she does?
Jackie'S older sister, who was away
from home most of the time, said to
him one day, IF you will go out and
pick Il quart of those nice, big straw
berries for me, I'll buy you Il pair of
sneakers
"Okay," responded Jackie, where
upon he walked Out into the kitchen
where his mother was filling baskets
Of berries and packing them in crate.
She had gone to the telephone for Il
moment, and when she returned, she
looked surprised
Why" she said to her husband who
came in for the crate of berries to take
to his customer, Il thought | had the
right number here, but | see l am one
box short. Perhaps | made Il mistake. "
But she dadnt made Il mistake, for
Jackie has taken that box and given
the berries to his sister who was go
| ing to call on Il friend.
"Tll bring you the sneakers when l
come back" she promised.
In this case the bargaining instinct
had led to direct dishonesty. Moreover,
Jackie had discovered that by little
shady practice he could get something
! for nothing. Such experiences lead
straight along the pathway to trouble.
1t is far better for children to dis
cover early for themselves, that price
of some kind has to be paid by some
body for whatever we have. They
should learn that members of the fam
| lily should expect TO render reasonable
service to each other and should share
with each other without thought of
pay or reward, and also that good
neighbors and friends enjoy doing kind
and helpful things for each other. 1t

those in the home, in order that each
one may have something he can call
his own and do with as he pleases.
1t is we'll to call the attention, of
even the smaller children, to the fact
that Daddy and Mother must have
most of the money because they have
to buy the food, the clothes and the

OftentmeS the bargaining spirits
shows itself because the child does not

matters of this kind to him.

Then as time goes on, they come to

standpoint and here again, we have the
beginnings of greed.

know and really understand from eX-

Lucille Ball

By CHARLES GENTRY

"a LOT on the Ball" is what we
have always said about lovely Lu-
ellie. but Hollywood has taken its
own bitter time 10 find out that
Lucille Ball was potentially one of
the cleverest young actresses on
the screen.
Now Lucille, whose husband,
DeSi ArnaZ, rs soon going off 10
ioin the Cuban forces, is devoting
herself entirely 10 a new career
which is certainly poisoning into
full bloom.
This beauty from Butte, Mont,
started her theatrical career by
enrolling in New York dramatic
school, where she learned every
thing except how to get into a
producers office.
She finally got a dancing job in
the chorus Of musical show. but
no big producer or talent scout
ever saw her, because the princi-
pals were always in the way.
She did get another job as a
mannequin, however, and this led
to her posing as a professional
model. She became famous as the
Chesterfield Girl" and some of
the smoke from those ads blew in
the general direction of Sam
Goldwyn who brought her out 10
the coast for his Roman Scan
dals." He also hired several thou
sand other beauties, so Lucille
found herself right back where she
started-in the chorus.
FOLLOWS A REPRISAL
Lucille claims that she's been in
more choruses than they've got
music for and one of her favorite
pictures is Follow the Fleet"
which co-starred Ginger Rogers.

dolph Scott.
II you look quickly you can spot
her as the third girl from the left

The only time she ever got
break she had TO disguise both her
talents and her lace.
FINALLY AT TOP
Gradually her sense. of humor,
her wit, her easy-going charm and
her beauty began to dawn on the
boys who had signed her several
years before.
And now she has left the studio,
where they used 10 send out a sta
ton wagon to pick up her options,
and is on her way to stardom.
In The Big Street" the film
version of the Damon Runyon
story, you will begin TO see some
of the talents, which the producers
have been overlooking.

Frui+Iess Search
For 4-year-Old

Search for four year old
Jimmy Scott, missing since
Monday afternoon from his
home on the Dahlia canal
southwest of Ell Centre, con-
tinued Thursday with no indica-
tons of success.
More than IS Boy Scouts joined
the search Wednesday afternoon.
They hunted along the lateral cam
ais leading off the Dahlia canal and
painstakingly searched the fields
and groves near the Scott home.
No trace of the youngSter was found.
Rumors that the boy had been
kidnapped were discounted by Deputy
Coroner Herbert Hughes Thursday.
The child is Mrs. SCOTS son by a
former husband. The boys father
arrived from Los Angeles as soon
as he received word of his sons dis
appearance and assisted in the
search. Reports that the boy had
been seen in Ell Centre and in the
country near his home, Hughes said,
all were investigated but as yet
nothing has developed from the in
veStigationS.
SIPHONS DRAINED

tanned horses Thursday and rode
along both sides of the Date and
Dahlia canals in search of the
body Two irrigation district men
patrolled constantly along the cam
ais and five siphons were pumped
out by the district, assisting in the
search. The search spread Thurs
day to the Rose canal northeast of
Imperial as both the Dahlia and
Date canals waste into it and there
was possibility the body might have
been carried that far.
I'VE believe the boy must have
fallen into the canal" Hughes said,
and the body will come to the sur
face before long. 1t may be caught
on something or be covered with
silt. In similar cases in the past, >
he said 1T was several days before
the body would rise to the surface"
He quoted Mrs. Scott, the boys
mother, as saying she thought she
heard a scream about IS minutes
after Jimmy went into the yard to
play. This was one of the main
reasons the boy was believed to have
fallen in the canal.
In a search conducted Thursday
morning, Deputy Sheriff Art Knut-
son found what he believed to be
a boys footprint along the canal
bank near the Scott home. The
print, while faint, compared with
prints left by the missing boys shoes,
Hughes said.

Russian dispatches SAID tnaC the
Soviet forces, led by tanks and Stor-
movik airplanes under Marshal Sem
yon Timoshenko, broke through the
first enemy defense lines and forged
forward, inflicting heavy losses on
the Germans. One dispatch told Of
fighting in the streets OF an i'm
portant town on the southern front,
which might be Kharkov but more
likely was another center in the
Nazi fortified belt in the south.
Details of the Kharkov drive were
lacking but the Berlin communique
acknowledged strong Russian at
tacks and Moscow put great en-
phasis on the onslaught of the Red
army without saying exactly how
far the troops had progressed or
how far they were from their i'm
mediate goal.
Timoshenko apparently launched
the attack to counteract the Ger
man offensive against the Kerch
peninsula in the Crimea, where the
Nazis claimed important successes
and the Russians said they till
we're fighting hard after retiring to
new positions If Kharkov is taken
the Germans will lose an important
spring board for their contemplated
summer offensive but they also will
face a grave threat of Russian flank
attacks, endangering their Crimea
position.
MURMANSK ATTACKED
In the far north the Russians said
they shot down IL of fleet Of
enemy planes that attacked Allied
ships, apparently at Murmansk, and
at Leningrad they reported an adj
vance into the German second line
of defense around the city.
In the Staraya Russo sector, where
the Germans have been surrounded
for many weeks, more than 200 Nazi
transport planes were reported shot
down recently and on the Kalinin
front generally there were renewed
German tank attacks which the Red
army said were repulsed with heavy
losses.
Scattered fighting also was re-
ported on the muddy Smolensk Sec
tor of the central front and near

were said to be in action on much
bigger scale and with excellent
heavy equipment, against Hungarian
troops.
