NewHish School
Pupils esis+er
This Week

New high school students in FL
Centro who come from other cities
are asked to register this week at
Central Union high school, said
Stan D. Atkin, vice-principal.
Cther El Centre students register
ed last week and this week will be
devoted to the registering of those
new students from other cities.
BY registering this week the stud
ents will have an opportunity to
discuss their problems with instruc-
tors and their schedules can be
made out in advance ready for the
opening day of school. With all the
rush OF the opening day, and with
little time available after the school
term is well started, students will
find if they register this week, said
Atkin, that their programs can be
made out much more satisfactorily
as there will be ample opportunity
to discuss their needs in detail.
Registration of these students will
be conducted daily this week, Mon
day through Friday at the school.
Pre-registration Of the other FL
Centro students has been completed
and their schedules will be ready
for them the opening day of school
so that there will be no delay in
starting the customary routine.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept IA Every
trade has its TRICKS, ana, OF course,
the technical branches of the mov-
les are full of them. But so is the
artistic side, where every picture
is in some sense a contest between
players, and between the director
and star Actors try to steal scenes,
and some try to usurp the direc-
tors powers. The director must
know how to get what he wants
from his cast.
John Ford, before he went to the
Navy, kept actors keyed by being
tough and sarcastic. William Well
man keeps his people awake with
WiSecracks, and sometimes with a
SlingShot. Frank Copra, now in
the Army, was a tiptoe-and-whis-
per director, who led his players
aside for individual conferences,
making each one feel that the
whole picture rested on the next
line he would speak. w. S. Van
Dyke is brisk and outspoken, with
scant respect for the pride of stars
STAR GOT TICKLED
These days, of course. directors
have to be more. subtle than in the
silent era. d. W. Griffith once
had difficulty with a noted actress
who was supposed to lie on couch
and register extreme anguish. Fin
ally, while the camera watched only
her face, Griffith sat at the other
end of the couch and tickled the
stars bare feet In her effort to
keep from giggling, she made just
the faces which the director want
ed
Anna Sten was the most notable
practitioner of a trick still used
occasionally. For the long or n I
dium shots, Miss Sten deliberately
would be little careless about her
makeup, her movement, or her
enunciation. But she never failed
| to look her best in the cloSe-upS.
Thus, when a film was being as
sembled, it was almost always nee
essary to choose her close-ups.
If an actor catches another scene
stealing, he is likely to blow his
lines or make some other mistake
that will halt the shot. These in
terrUptions may go on and on until
the offended actor is able to man
euver himself into favorable pos
ition and the other guy into a
partly obscured or shadowy spot

What can I do TO help in the

woman and this column will be de-
voted to helping each woman find
her place in the war effort. and to

various defense activities.
Observers Needed
Right now the most urgent need
is for observers at the e Centre

daytime schedule. Now that school
is about to start they must relin-
ouish their listening post duties and
observers are needed badly.

GEN. MACARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS, Australia. Sept. IA
(UP)-Allied forcesc kept the jap
anese thrust toward Port Moresby
bottled in the towering Owen Stan
ley Mountains today while their
aircraft swept the seas surrounding
the Island bombing enemy supply
ships.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur an
nounced in a communique that
Royal Australian Air Force Hudson
Bombers had sought out and at
tackled three japanese cargo ships,
apparently bound for New Guinea,
and American Flying rortresses had
bombed a japanese cruiser, accom-
panied by a destroyer off the
southwest coast of New Britain.
The Australian-manned Hudson
bombers caught the enemy supply
ships in the Tenimber and Kai is
lands, roughly 400 miles west of New
Guinea and almost an equal dis
i tance north of Australia.
ATTACK MADE
Two small ships were located
in the Seloe islands of the Tenim-
berg groups. The Australians blew
the stern off one, leaving it sink
ing. The other was machine gum
ned from stem to stern.
medium sized Japanese cargo
ship was trapped and bombed in
the Kai islands, slightly north of
the Tenimbers. Results of that at
attack could not be observed, the
communique said.
Attacking through heavy anti
aircraft fire and under adverse
weather conditions, the fortresses
bombed the japanese cruiser pro-
ceeding possibly with reinforcements
for the New Guinea push, under
destroyer escort. The communique
said low visibility obscured the re-
suits.
The situation still was unchanged
in the lofty Owen Stanley noun
tains, where the japanese had driV-
en- to within so miles of Port Mores-
by Australia'S main New Guinea
outpost, before allied fighters stop
ped them.
Patrols of both sides were re-
nOrted in action hit there uere
no major operations mentioned in
that area by MacArthur's commun-
ique. The Japanese still were
roughly halfway down the Owen
Stanley mountains, where for three
days no major clashes have been
reported.
Following up Saturdays heavy
raids on the Japanese base at Buna,
on New Guinea's northern coast,
Macarthur sent Martin BIS heavy
bombers against enemy air fields at
Lac and Salamaua yesterday
The big planes, known as mar
auders, swept over Lac in two
waves one a few minutes behind
theh other. They strafed the field
and started several fires, the COM
munique said. Later, they gave the
same treatment to Salamaiia.
No Allied aircraft were missing,
