MOVIE ACTORS SAY
THEY PORTRAY REAL LIFE

HOLLYWOOD-(ANP)- One OF
the topics most frequently discussed
among those circles in which the
more important colored actors in
films move, is the current attitude
toward roles assumed by colored
actors. Almost inevitably the COM
ment veers around to the now fam
Gus visit Of Walter White TO Cali
fornia last year in what the actors
contend was the self-appointed role
OF MIR. Fix-It." They insist that Mr..
White came out to adjust job for
which he was i'll fitted to serve,
that he did not deign to consult
with or secure the opinions of any
Of the workers on the job and that
msnifestly il he attempted to speak
for two and a half million colored
theatre goers, he was in no position
to reveal what was in the mind OF
that army either.
MAINTAIN Moreland, one OF the top
delineators OF comedy on the Hol-
lywood scene just now, relieved
himself OF series OF opinions last
week which were interesting.
Moreland and Ben Carter have just
formed a team which, because OF
their wide contacts and the I'M
doubted artistic standing, is expect
ed to soar to new heights in the
portrayal of funny situation.
Moreland, referring to Walter
Waits and the NAAQP in it, cur
lent Interest I'M the theatre said!
II admit there's q big job for
those guys to do but they should
start with the man on the street"
They ought to put out deputies, I"
Moreland continued, sin each COM
munity like Little Toxic here in
Los Angeles and even some parts
OF Central avenue Hastings street in
Detroit; Fillmore street in San Fran
cisco; Beale street in Memphis; RAM
part street in New Orleans; Five
Points in Denver; North Second in
Miami and l25th street in New York
city. These deputies could help to
see to it that those people who don't
conduct themselves decently, who
are loud in theatres, curse, wear
conspicuous clothes and in million
different ways reflect upon the rest
OF us, might be induced 10 change
their attitudes and habits. Much
good could be accomplished.
The scenes in pictures which
are now called degrading would
really be artisticslly beautiful Gre
atoms il the man on the street
were not living the scenes in real
life. What people really resent is
the fact that the situations are true.
II we commercialize on the comedy
in some OF the situations, it is AIT
TO people who actually who do not
know that it happens in real life.
"A campaign to straighten out
theareal life situations fmong our
people would be more like starting
at the root OF the evil. You can say
what you will about Judging all
Negroes by the conduct OF one and
the evil which results from that
attitude but TO tell the truth the
undesirable Negro is in the majority
SO far as meets the eye.

Echoes of the letter we had about
the Great Blizzard" have been COM
ing to me in the form of letters from
other readers. One of these, from
Mr.. G. B. Rittenhouse of Montreal,
says that in 1888 he was in South
Carolina, where the blizzard did not
strike. but he heard a great deal
about it from relatives in New
Jersey.
A woman who tells me she is 81
years Of age sent me typewriter
letter but neglected to fill in her
name.
The story of the Great Blizzard
OF 1888 brought back many memoir
les OF that time she writes. Il was
then homesteading in what is now
South Dakota. I had been through
many storms and billiards. during
my two years of homesteading, but
that was stemwinder alongside the
others!
There were reports published
that the loss of life in the Dakotas
was 1000. but the Mitchell 'Repub-
llcan made study and finally pub
lished list of 1O9 known Dakota
deaths.
When I think of those storms,
l wonder that we survived. I had
three miles to walk to my school
(Which. at first, had walls COM
posed of sod, and there was not
even a telephone pole to use as a
guide. I shudder now but enjoyed
1t then. This is Just a letter of
thanks for bringing back memories
to an 84-year-old woman"
From another woman. Mrs. S w.
Ludlow, comes friendly letter deal
ing with the same event:

enjoy your letters. One interested
me especially, the one about that

/ Il was a child living on top of a

point in Pennsylvania The blizzard
lasted three days. At the end my
father dug a passage through a snow
drift to get to the shops where he
was foreman. He said the snow
was 80 feet deep at one place be-
tween mountains. People in town
on the fourth day were walking on
snow piled so hard and high that We
thought they were walking on our
fence on the main street.
During the blizzard we were shut

Suppose East had failed to return
a trump when he got in with the
spade ace. Suppose he returned a

would ruff heart. A low diamond
to dummy's eight would force East S

be too late. South would win, cross
to the diamond queen and ruff a
third heart, then cash his spade
queen and discard one of dummy S
clubs on the fourth diamond. East

If he had led a diamond at once
instead of the spade king, no de-

Cashing the ace and leading another
spade would cost East his trump
trick and still permit South to ruff

any other card would keep East's two
trump tricks. but would enable de-
clarer to ruff both of dummy's re-

ID. T.. Seeks Location,
'0f Ornamental Pools
To Kill Mosquitoes

Health Officer George c. Ruhland
yesterday requested all District
property owners having ornamental
pools on their premises to register
the locations with the department,
as means of expanding the anti
malaria control program.
Specialists will investigate the
pools and take whatever precau-
tions are necessary to eliminate ma
laria-carrying mosquitoes and their
breeding places, he said. One Of the
preventive steps being used is to
dust" the breeding places with paris
green.
The private-pool registration plan,
recommended by the departments
malaria control unit, was prompted,
DR.. Ruhland said, by the recent
discovery of malaria-bearing mos
quito larvae in an ornamental pool
on the grounds Of a private school in
Northwest Washington. Use of
paris green promptly eliminated it
as source of mosquito breeding,
he added.
The malaria control unit reported
that ornamental pools which con-
tain large quantities of aquatic veg
citation such as grasses, lilies and
algae and constant supply of fresh
water offer ideal locations for the
breeding Of the quad mosquito. Pools
stocked with goldfish or minnows
usually are free from mosquito
larvae, but In many cases the vege-
tation is so dense the fish are un-
able to get at the larvae, DR.. Ruh-
land said.
I'm spite of all vigilance now be-
ing exercised" he said, the fact
remains that the essential factors
for the spread of malaria, although
not quantitatively alarming, are
nevertheless here. The Health De-
partment is not going to miss q
single, opportunity to stop malaria
before it has gained force enough
to cause an outbreak in the city"
Owners Of ornamental pools were
urged to call National 5000, Exten-
sion 2l67.

Sea Serpent. E. Flying Reptiles.
larger than insects Of today. Some
of the dragonflies had = wingspread
Of more than feet
Certain reptiles learned to fiy, but
much later. They had bones which
held up sheets of skin.
Scientists call the flying reptiles
by the Greek name of "Pterodac-
tyls,' meaning wings" This
name arose from the fact that one
finger of each Of the front feet had
a very long bone. The long bones
were edges for the two wings. Some
times such bone was yards long.
For our knowledge of those olden
flying reptiles, we depend on i'm
prints which they left in mud, as
we'll as on their bones. After the
mud hardened and became rock, tho
imprints were saved Some natural
history museums have pieces of rock
with such imprints on them.
The imprints give us knowledge
OF the fleshy parts of flying lizards.
The flesh wasted away with the
passing years, but we learn about 1t
from the marks left in rock. The
skeletons, on the other hand, give
clear idea of the home formation.
We learn, for example, that there
were short finger bones at the bend
OF each wing
Flying reptiles differed a great
deal in size. Some had a wing
spread OF less than IL inches. Others
were larger than an albatross of the
present time. In the British Mu-
scum in London saw an imprint
OF a flying reptile with a wingspread
| OF about 20 feet.
At the same time there were large
reptiles which spent their time on
land and in the sea. Among these
was the sharklike fish lizard, the
snake-necked near lizard and the
Meuse lizard. a type of "sea SER
pent." Certain kinds Of dinosaurs
also roamed the earth.

South had the right idea when
he decided not to play the hand
at spades. He thought he might
have dificulty getting to Norths

appeared to have heart suit which
South's ace would make absolutely

Everything was reasonable except
the curious fact that, no matter
what East led, seven hearts could
not be made The singleton trump ace
was bound to put the lead in dunn
