Studios have put final crimp in
the threadbare idea of using food
rationing as gag material. Here's
one reason why: At a preview of
Heavenly Body" the other night
the audience hooted for several
minutes when Hedy Lamar referred
to butter as being worth six points
Hedy was brought all the way back
from Palm Springs for retake.
Well I was only one syllable out
of the way she remarked. Sudden
changes in rationing of gasoline,
coffee and other commodities have
caught other picture makers fiat.
So, the order is out now to base no
more jokes on that subject.
Pictures of Bella Lugosi at the Los
Angeles blood bank were widely
printed a couple of weeks ago. What
happened, however, was that Lugosi
was promptly rejected because of
anemia-and he's the fellow who

When Dorothy LamoT took her de-

main issues. She refused to wear

A compromise was reached. If

BEASTS VS. Men
IN MEXICALI sun.

The bloodiest sport of them all
+ will again be on view in Mexicali
this Sunday afternoon when the
matadors duel the sharp-horned
beasts at the Mexicali Bull Ring.
Acclaimed as two of MeXico'S
most colorful bull fighters, Alfonso
Ramirez affectionately called Ca
lesero" and Carlos Vera, hailed as
"Canitas," will risk their lives on
the blood-stained sand for the
crowds enjoyment.
The audience of the bull fight
held in the same ring two weeks
ago remembers with horror when
Silverio Perez was caught by bull
while essaying a difficult maneu-
yer. Although Perez suffered only
minor injuries. it reminded every
one present that the specter of
death hovers over the matadors as
we'll as the animals.
The bulls have been raised with
view to making them as ferocious
as possible The inpressarios of
the affair are transporting six bulls
1000 miles from south of Mexico City
just for Sundays event. The bulls
come from the well-known Cortijo
del Colmenar Farm.
Sunday will be an especially fes-
tive day in MeXicali as it is Mexi-
can Armistice Day. Tourists will
find it a good opportunity to visit
our friendly neighbor south of the
border

SPARTAN TACKLE
OUT FROM BURNS

A setback to El CentrOS hopes OF
winning the big Thanksgiving Day
football game against Calexico was
disclosed Friday with the an
nouncement that Hugh Littrell,
first string right tackle. would prob
ably not be able to play for the
Spartans.
Littrell, who has been one of Ell
CentTos mainstays in the line all
season, was painfully burned last
week while extinguishing a fire on
his fathers ranch. The fire started
from gas explosion and while
Littrell was putting it out, flames
caught on to his pants leg. After
he had finally beat out the fire,
his hands and leg were blistered
and necessitated medical treatment.
II is definite that Littrell will be
out of practice all week and in all
probability will not see action in
the Thanksgiving day game

SpecioI Deer Season Open
For Cal. Hunters on Dec. IT

The most sought-after hunting
prize of them all will be legally
available to thousands of California
hunters when a short season on
deer opens from Dec. II to Dec. 81
Hunters are assured that they are
not oiling and polishing their rifles
in vain as the deer population has
reached the highest point in years,
due mainly to the cancellation of
the last two seasons on account of
fire hazards.
Now, however, according to Frank
Burns, state game warden, deer are
SO prevalent that farmers report
stroyed. In addition, Burns noted,
fire is much less of a hazard in the
cool December weather and also
meat ratio1ing Will be faVorably
affected.
Burns explained tnat the weeks
III December were chosen with
particular respect to the physical
habits of deer. 1t seems that deer
meat is not very edible during the
breeding season which ends about
the beginning of December. After
the end of December, the deer be-
gin shedding their antlers and
hunters wouldn't be able to tell the
difference between bucks which
are permitted to be shot and docs
and faWns which are not. There
fore, the weeks were selected in
Difference TO the convenience of the
hunters.
Only one deer is allowed to any
hunter for the short special season.
Hunters must purchase deer tags
costing 81.
The season will be open south

diaries, excepting therefrom the
