NIGHT in your own backyard, in
your Victory Garden, you can help to forge
weapon mighty as tank! Food is weapon
of freedom 1t will help to win the war and
write the peace.
Every day more and more American food
stuffs have to be transported to our fighting men
and our Allies. The Nazis have overrun and
pillaged Russia's fertile granary in the Ukraine
.. They stripped North Africa bare
Japanese hordes have burned and blasted the
good earth" of valiant China e. England
has already increased her. hllable acreage fifty
per cent, and plans to increase it another ten
percent this year. But even that is not enough
to feed the brave people of the tight little
island, who fought off our foes single-handed
in 194l. And there are our millions of
war workers who must be fed.
American farmers and processing plants
must produce vast amounts Of food this year.
And most of it must be transported by rail.
The war traffic load of the railroads is increas-
ing every day. So every way in which you
can ease the burden means more equipment
to move our men and munitions of war. Every
pound of foodstuffs that you produce means
one less pound that has to be transported to
you . and another pound that be
ried to our own fighting men and fighting Allies
on the battlefronts of the world.
Turn your backyard into battlefield -.
Victory Garden. No vegetables ever tasted
SO good as those you raise with your own hands.
And there's not Ration Point in truckload!
Dig into the good earth - you'll find pleasure
in it, and have the double satisfaction of know
ing that you and your family are fighting for

Presidential Material Put Through 'Wringer' on
 Timely Questions

WASHINGTON, Oct. Wendell L. Willkie will speak in the poli- tically important states of New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts within the next few weeks, but he is not expected by friends to for mally enter the race as Republican Presidential nominee until some time after the first of the year.
 This became known last night, when the COP standard bearer addressed an informal off the re- cord meeting of freshmen Republi- can congressman and then was sub mitted to more hours of question: ing on international and domestic and political affairs, which gave him the appearance later of having just emerged from wrestling match
 You look as if you were pulled through a wringer," one reporter told Willkie, noting the awry tie and the tousled hair.
 Willkie replied, smiling, "Oh no, I had one of the best times I've ever had in my life"

"50NG OF THE ISLANDS" AT
 10TH CENTURY

Imagine blonde, lissom Betty Grable being made love to by hand some Vic Mature in South Sea island setting, and you will get some idea of the treat for moviegoers when they see 20th Century Fox's technicolor musical Song of the Islands, which opens at the 20th Century Theatre tonight for a four-day run.
 Filmed under the aegis of ace di- rector Walter Lang, this latest musi- cal adventure into the lazy, care free life of the South Seas, offers practically everything in the way of top screen entertainment.
 With the round Jack Oakie handling the comedy, assisted by Thomas Mitchell and George Bar bier, the film takes us to a small outpost of the Pacific where Nit chell and his daughter, Betty Grable, are striving to keep the island unspoiled from the encroach- ments of civilization. Tycoon George Barbier sends his son. played by Vic Mature, down to the island to take care of the cattle ranch which he owns. Vic's side-kick, Jack Oakie. goes along for laughs.
 Also featured in the cast are Billy Gilbert and Hilo Hattie for some clever comedy characterizations Hilo Hattie is out to get her man and her man is Oakie With an assist from Gilbert, she nearly gets him-much to the amusement of all. The script was written by Joseph Schrank, Robert Pirosh Robert Ellis, and Helen Logan. Will liam LeBaron was the producer, and Hermes Pan staged the dances.

DRAMA OF WOMAN FLYER IS FEATURED
 ON CAPITOL SCREEN

For sheer dramatic sock, poign- ancy, and sustained thrills, Wings and the woman" coming tonight to the Capitol Theatre, stands out as a real achievement in motion pictures. This is the screen at it's best. This is truly high entertain ment, an adventure in emotions that will long be remembered. It is magnificently produced, superb ly acted, beautifully written. It is, in short, the kind of picture that deserves hosannahs and the tossing of hats in the air.
 Wings and the Woman" is the story of Amy Johnson Mollison, the famous English flier, who in l930 flew from London to Australia in a secondhand biplane that barely held together. The picture is as much a character study of this dar- ing woman, and dissection of her restless spirit, as it is factual ac- count of her adventures. It cuts deep through the veneer of popu- larity that clothed her for more than ten years and reveals the real Johnnie" as she was known to her family, her intimates, and later her husband. Jim Mollison. Amy John son Mollison is dead now; she died flying, which is probably as she would have wished it. It happened early in 194l when a bomber she
 was ferrying across the English channel for the RAF crashed into the Thames. Wings and the Wo- man" is thrilling tribute to this remarkable woman.
