Pacific Candidates for AI-America Team Of Heroe
Yankee Doodle
Dandy Opens at
Jewel Sunday

This years most spectacular
film is on its way to the Jewel
Theatre, opening Sunday after
noon for a four day run. Yet,
spectacular, in its true sense,
does not de scrib be Warner S
Yankee Doodle Dandy" The
picture has and does several
things which make it a fine film,
but the warmth of its story
makes it great!
Yankee Doodle Dandy tells
the life story of Americas great
est Snowman - George M. CO.
han. And it tells that story in
the grandest way possible -
through the songs and plays that
he wrote - his vaudeville and
legitimate stage career an d
through the inspiration he gave
to others. 1t is the life story of
a man, but it is also the life
story of show business from the
1905 until today.
James Cagney plays the role
of George M. Cohan, and adj
vance reports say that he fits
it in every detail. His hoofing
is perfect and his talking of
songs rather than really singing
them, which was always Cohan S
way of putting over a number,
makes the Characterization per-
feet.
The cast is made up of fine
group of performers. Joan Leslie
is cast as Mary, a naive girl who
wants TO get on the STAGE. She
meets George M. Cohan and he
gives her a chance to do a song
and dance act. However, he de-
cides she'd make a better wife
than a vaudevillian, and she be-
comes Mrs. George M. Cohan.

WITH AMERICAN TROOPS
IN A SOUTHWESTERN PACI-
FIG REST CAMP. Feb. Is =
(Delayed)-(P)-If ever there's
an "All-America" named from
among the American soldiers
who performed heroically on
foreign battlefields, here are
nominations from the New Gui-
nea sector.
Some of the nominees are bur-
led in the now quiet Papuan
jungle not far from where they
fought and died. Others are rest
ing in this quiet, peaceful camp
far from the scene of their hero
ism.
Asked the question, "What
was the outstanding act of hero
ism you saw during the Papuar
campaign" both officers ano
men told the stories of Ameri.
cans in action for the first time
at Buna and Sanananda, battling
heroically.
Capt. M. M. Higgins, Salem
Ore, nominated two Grand Rap.

Wentzloff and Russell Young

Higgins, one of the few Off
GERS to have military objective
named after him - they calico

it.
Zone morning about 10 o
clock, the Nips threw a counter
attack that was a vicious thinl
and it appeared for time i
might be successful. We had suf

"Wentzloff grabbed an auto
matte rifle, recruited five mes
sengers on the spot and pepper

back and they retired. l believe
their attack would have beer

The scene of Young's heroisn
also was in the road block area

were most important" contin

surrounded by Japanese. Patrol

Wyandotte 5
Whips Bathers
Loss Of White
KsenIy Felt

An infected hand, the flu and
Big Ed Mierkowicz conspired
last night to give Wyandotte a
81 to Is victory over Coach
Harvey ELEPHANTS Bather Gag
ers.
Bob White, ELEPHANTS best de-
fensive eager, was left at home
nursing an infection and Ralph
Siewert, six foot nine inch CEN
ter, the flu victim, was used only
briefly in the second and fourth
quarters.
Under the circumstances,
Mierkowicz, six foot five inch
Wyandotte center, dropped in
nine field goals and two fouls
for 20 points. In an earlier game,
White held the big center to two
points and the 'Dottes barely
won.
Mierkowicz is the lad who led
Wyandotte's sensational winning
streak last year. Many veteran
cage followers regard him as the
best center in Michigan high
school basketball today.
The defeat gave Oliphant a
record of five wins in IL starts.
Hard luck logged the new cage
cooch throughout the year with
Siewert unable to play most Of
the games either through inelig-'
Utility or because of Clipped
ankle bone.
The Bathers today looked for
ward to the district tournament
at Ferndale next week. There
they are entered along with Van
Dyke, Hazel Fark. Port Huron,
Ferndale, Royal Oak, Pontiac
and Crosse Pointe.
If White and Siewert are both
able to play, the Bathers may
upset the dope and win tourna-
ment honors.
Despite his illness, Siewert
dropped in two baskets and as
many free throws to lead his
team in scoring.

Hot? Then Fellow
Advice of Health
Officer of County

Heat exhaustion and pros
tratlon suffered by incau-
tious persons in Imperial
Valley during extreme sum-
mer weather may be avoided
to a large extent by the jrdicious
use of salt" DR.. E. B. Godfrey,
Imperial county health officer said
Friday, during one of the most pro-
longed hot spell in history.
The correct amount of salt to be
consumed daily is one teaspoonful
or its equivalent in salt tablets for
every gallon of water consumed
during the day Workmen doing
strenuous physical work under the
hottest conditions seldom drink
more than two gallons day. The
average person should take tea
spoonful of salt every day.
MAKES SUGGESTIONS
DR.. Godfrey made the following
suggestions for avoiding heat ex-
haustion: Avoid heavy midday
meals. 2-Avoid alcoholic drinks.
3-Take a salt tablet at least four
times daily. Persons who perspire
heavily should take more. 1t is
better to take the tablets in cool
rather than iced water. 4-If a per-
son is suffering symptoms of heat
exhaustion, he should work short
shifts and rest few minutes until
comparatively cool, about every
two hours. 5-Any newcomer from
different climate should rest or
cease work for a few minutes every
few hours.
THE cause of heat sickness, ex-
haustion, and prostration, DR.. God
frey said, lis the loss through
sweating of a large amount of
body liquids and salt. Sweat is a
dilute liquid containing i to IS per
cent sodium chloride. Persons with
weak hearts are more susceptible to
