STATE

Crammed with laughs from hesin- ming to end, Here We Go Again" which began it's four day engage. lnent at Warmers State theater yes terday, presents four top favorites of the screen and air waves, Edgar Bergen, Charlie Mccarthy and Fib- Der McGee and Molly, in gay Of. fering designed to make you forget than the absurdities of the story for the time any weightier affairs unfolding on the serene.
 Most of its hectic happenings oc- cur at a mountain resort in the west where all the characters as- semble-Fibber and Molly to cele- brate their wedding anniversary, Bergen and Charlie to chase moths and girls, the rest of the Wistful Vista crowd for a vacaticn.
 Desperately in need of money to pay for their accommcaa..C..- Gt the swank resort hotel, Fibber yields to the blandishments of an old friend of Molly's, Otis Cadwalader, to tell an interest in a new inven- tion to the rich Bergen-unaware that Otis is a crook and the in- vention a fake.
 What happens when Fibber dis covers the truth, Bergen discovers the rare moth he is looking for and Charlie discovers an army of Girl Scouts, all lead to the hilarious climax of this highly amusing film.
 All four stars turn in sparkling performances and Bergen also brings out Charlie's wooden play mate, Mortimer Snerd, for plenty of laughs Ginny Simms handles the romantic phase of the story in brilliant fashion, and Gale Gordon is excellent as Cadwalader, with Harold Peary and Isabel Randolph respectively scoring as The Great Gildersleeve and Mrs. Uppington.
 Ray Noble and his orchestra ham, ale the hit tunes of the film while Bill Thompson (The Old Timer !. Sterling Holloway and Esther Fer. nandez have important supporting roles. From every standpoint Here We Go Again" is a thoroughly en- tertaining picture with plenty of fun-power.
 Powder Town" with Victor Mo Laglen, Edmund O'Brien, June Havoc and Dorothy Lovett is the second big hit of the program.
 Plan now to see this msrvelous show at the State before the clos- ing performances Saturday evening. It's a Must See" for everyone.

STRAND

Steaming African rubber planta- tions, primitive souls amid a torrid wilderness, form the background for stark drama. and presents Hedy Lamar as the sultry Tondelayo, in the famous play, White Cargo, the screen version of which is now playing at the Strand theater.
 Miss Lamar, in lurong for the first time, is a vivid, alluring tropi- cal heroine, exerting sinister spell over Richard Carlson, playing a young plantation overseer. Walter Pidgeon is teamed with Miss Lamar, playing the hard-bitten sullen and determined chief overseer. Witzel. The story deals with his opposition to young Carlson's romance with the native charmer, the boys deter ioration under the endless heat and primitive conditions of the jungle, and the vivid climax in which his fiery sweetheart attempts to poison him.

A CITY WIDE REVIVAL

been too tolerant of those who worked
from within to tear down and destroy
the good that countless generations
had built by heavy labor and with
great sacrifice.
We need now to be intolerant-to
be unwilling to bear the relentless ag-
gressors whose only desire is to reap
where others have sown-to seize for
themselves whatever they wish, things
which could have made for themselves
had they bent half the effrts and skill
they use in the pursuit of war to a
peaceful attainment of prosperity.
We need to be intolerant-to be I'M
willing to stand for treachery in our
midst, for those subversive forces
who try to disrupt our national unity.
sabotaging not merely our industrial
plants and our government institu
lions, but the morale of the people
as well. These are the same forces
OF "appeasement" that opened h e
gates of the countries overseas to
the invader and betrayed a helpless
people. Call them Trojan Horses

/ name you will-we have been tolerant
with THE perverted practices too long.
We need to be intolerant-to be
unwilling to allow an attack upon any
group because Of race, creed, class,
or color. This country is based upon
freedom for all, and the right to
think, speak, write and worship as
tn e individual conscience dictates
but it does not include the right to
try to keep this privilege from any,
one else. We must not let our con-
stitutional rights be used by any one
group to destroy another which is en-
titled to the same rights-whether it
be labor or industry-or a racial or
religious minority. Above alive
need to be intolerant of-to abhor-
intolerance.

10 the presidents, m m b ers and
friends of the H. B. A.:
During the March quarter we had
a successful H. B. A. drive in which
fhty-nine presidents and their MEM
oers added 315 members to the AS
soclatlon. We wish to thank those
OF you who responded to our urgent
appeal. Had it not been for Won we
would not have received as much as
We did and neither would we have
PAID as much to our claimants.
We want to thank all persons who
had any part in helping to make the
March Boards a success.
Presidents Seventy-Fifth Anniversary
am making an appeal to the presto
dents and members of the Association
to join in with me for membership
campaign by the June Boards. Be-
tween now and the June Boards the
General President will have reached
his seventy-fifth birthday, which will
come before the June Boards open,
however, we want to do one big out
standing thing, something that all of
us can have part in; something that
will no doubt add pleasure, joy and
happiness to his life. We are not
asking you to bring gifts in the form
of handkerchiefs, shirts, ties and
money, we are asking you, however,
to bring gifts in the form of new
members to be added to the Associa-
ton for which he has given his life.
The General President has been
and still is great champion for the
poor and less fortunate. He has
meant much to our group in the state
of Mississippi.

He has built monument that will
stand when he is gone. Now, why
shouldn't we, as loyal members, a.
gents and friends, commemorate the
celebration of his 18th anniversary
in this fashion? No greater tribute
can we pay to this great hero; to this
prophet, to this sage than the cele-
bration of his 18th anniversary by
adding one thousand (1O00) members
by June. He deserves it; he is worthy
of it.
Though born before the torch of
slavery h a ceased to burn, so to
speak, and went to school only three
months in his entire life, he has set a
standard that will be hard to equal by
those who have rubbed their head
against the college and university
walls.
May l, as secretary, appeal to you
to begin now? Lets see how many
members can each of US add. The
General President knew nothing Of
this effort until he read it in the pa

launch this seventy-fifth anniversary
