 The picture tells the amazing ex- periences of Q handful of Army nurses, their romance, their hero- isms while under fire at Bataan and Corregidor, and their eventual thrilling escape. It is said to surpass anything yet made in its dramatic and emotional appeal to men and women alike, and in its exceptional entertainment values. So make "So Proudly We Hail" right at the top of your must list and be sure to see 1t at the State before the closing performances Tuesday night.
 Henry Aldrich Swings with Jimmy Lydon in the title role, is the second hit of the program.

POLI'S

Continuing to amuse and enter tain capacity audiences at all per- formances at the Loew Poli Theater is the comedy sensation of the day, Heaven Can Wait" The techni- color hits stars Gene Tierney and dynamic Don Ameche in the lead- ing roles with an all star support ing cast headed by Marjorie Main and Charles Coburn.
 The spicy film is the story of Grandpa and the French made moiselle, and ladies fair who gave their lovers the air. And when 1t comes to what went on after the gas lights went out, the famed ''Lubitsch Touch" becomes a wallop.
 Don Ameches IS a scion of a staid New York household, and antics stand the family on It's ear. Gene is the lady fair whom he woos, and wins, but Don is a fiighty person, while Gene is not what you could call submissive sort of a gal. Which means that even after they're happily married there are lots of fireworks. Heaven Can Wait is Q frivolous comedy, frank and fro- licking, aided immeasurably by the calibre of its performers. In addi- ton to Miss Tierney and Ameche, others in the large and capable cast include Charles Coburn, Marjorie Main, Laird Cregar, Spring Bying- ton, Allyn Josleyn, Eugen Palette and Slgne Hasso.
 Still others who have important roles are Louis Ca1hern, Helene Rey- holds, Aubrey Maher and Michael Ames..
 The second big hit on the program Is Someone to Remember" with Mable Paige and John Craven in the leading roles of a heart warming story. This program positively ends here Tuesday evening, will not be held over.
 Coming to the Loew Poll theater Wednesday and for two days only, is another smash giant vaudeville show direct from Broadway, and featuring your favorite stars of radio, stage and screen.

MAY. MUSIC MONTH

May, rather than single week, is
being devoted to music by women's
clubs and other organizations through
out the nation. President Roosevelt
wrote in letter to c. M. Termaine,
secretary of the National and Inter
national Music Week Committee:
Music builds morale. 1t inspires our
fighting men on battlefields abroad and
in training camps at home. 1t spurs
soldiers on the production front to new
goals. 1t refreshes all of us, young and
old alike, as we move forward in our
wartime tasks to inevitable victory.
Throughout the centuries music has
we'll served as the universal language.
AS modern science conquers time and
space, music assumes an ever increas-
ing Importance in the international
understanding. 1t will contribute much
to strengthen the bonds of friendship
and cooperation among the Americans
and the othe free people in the
peaceful world of tomorrow"
Folk songs of other countries are be-
being sung and freedoms cause is be-
ing aided by encouraging this May the
study and enjoyment of the music of the
United Nations.

OPEN LETTER TO A COUNTY HOME
DEMONSTRATION AGENT


adapted from Thought and Things by
Ray Nelson in Logan, otan, newspaper).
In the county extension office the
other day, you comemnted that any
American girl having the necessary
qualifications would do herself proud
to join the WAAC or WAVES or some
other service corps for women.
You stated that serving such an
organization would be a gallant way to
serve the war effort, magnificent way
to show ones patriotism.
That is granted.
But Miss Home Demonstration Agent,
did you ever stop to think how neces-
sary are the services of people as your
self, neighborhood leaders. All club
leaders, in wartime,
True, WAACS and WAVES and the
rest of the alphabet women can do much
for the Nations welfare. Their services
will undoubtedly become more valuable
as their training progresses--valuable
to the men on the battlefield, valuable
in relieving men for combat service,
valuable in doing many jobs which must
be accomplished on the home front.
Home demonstration agent, neighbor-
hood and All leaders do not wear natty
uniforms. Bands do not play while they
parade; seldom do they visit far-off
states or cities or countries.
Home demonstration agent, neighbor-
hood and All leaders do not learn to
salute and march in ranks. The whirl
of the international merry-ge round, it's
seeming glitter and blaring music, are
remote.
But they also serve who only stay at
home and teach others bo raise victory
gardens, bottle peas and stitch mat
tresses!
The role of farm women is becoming
increasingly important in this life
death struggle. Fundamentally, without
food more food can not be produced
First someone said steel will win the
war;" Lot of truth in that.
Then, someone contended, Food will
win the war;" Lot of truth in that, too.
Matter of fact, without food men can
heaps. Without food they cannot trans
form the steel into tanks, airplane
motors, guns and ships and all the
other things used to fight the enemy.
Without food the soldier on the battle
fields and the sailors on the seas can
not throw the steel at the enemy.
So your job-facilitating and increas-
ing the production of food-takes on
pretty important proportions, doesn't it?
Even though you don't have uni
form, and you aren't sent off to Fort
Des Moines for training.
Mind you, the Importance of the
WAAC is not minimized here, The inn
portance of foodproducers is upped tc
the level they deserve.
