There was bound to be a sequel
to the box office surprise, 'Hitler's
Children and "Hitlers Women"
is it.
Every studio in town tried to reg
lister the title but an independent
producer, Herman Millakowsky, a
fugitive from the Nazi, won out.
Beat Walter Wanger by only two
hours. And just in case there is no
longer a Mr. Hitler by the time the
film is released this fall, MillakoW-
sky has an alternate title, Women
in Bondage"
The women of the piece are Gail
Patrick, Nancy Kelly, one of the
greatest young actresses in Holly
wood, Gertrude Michael, MariS
Wrixon and Ann Nagel. And for
once, the villains are not square,
jawed, bone cracking Gestapo
agetns or officers. The No. l vii
lain is a woman, a Nazi party lead
er played by Miss Michael.

"The allies have the offensive
now. but we cannot expect the war
TO be over tomorrow and our Dig
lob still is to win the war-to pre-
pare our students for their places

duties as citizens after the war and
also to provide training for those
students who will enter specialized
divisions in the armed forces, de-
clared Guy A. Weakley, district sup
erintendent of schools, at a joint
meeting of elementary and second
ary to city teachers Saturday morn
ing in the junior college building.
In examining the immediate OBJ
iectives for the schools, Weakley
read statement prepared by the
Educational Policy's Commission
that now the immediate danger to
the citizens of the country is over
the nation faces a second test more
exacting, that of maintaining ma
tional Unity for the offensive.
"The teachers and students in
our schools like all the rest OF the
population. must this year continue,
day in and day out, to give to their
wartime duties an immediate and
absolute priority in time, atten-
tion, personnel and funds, over any
and all other activities. They must
teach and study better than ever,
themselves more generously than
ever. They must refrain from petty
complaints. They must buy war
bonds ana S,amps 10 the limit. They
must avoid all forms of waste in
the Use of materials, food clothing,
time and money. They must, above
I: u. learn to maintain strong and
intelligent loyalty to the principles
cr which this Aai.on is fighting.
Weakley pointed out: Education
is not q spectacular as other
branches OF the service but it is
vital. When we realize that 62 per
cent of the jobs in the armed forces
require specialized training, the
Importance of education is evident
Education should also play an i'm
portant role in formulating a just
and lasting peace and must play a
greater part in the postwar period
IF enlightenment is shared by
The peoples of the world it will be
much more difficult for dictators to
get into power, or once in power, to
indoctrinate the youth of the world
Georgia has led the way in giving
the vote to youth of 18 years of age
and if the rest of the states fol-
low, the schools have a still great
responsibility in training these
young people for citizenship.
in our school program we have
no fTills to eliminate. This year we
will shift the emphasis to mathe-

While the jumper is highlighted
in all wardrobes today, it is head
line news for the back-to school
group. All kinds of jumpers -
ruffled, tailored, embroidered, ap-
pliqued, pocketed, and banded-in
all kinds of fabric, velveteen, spun
rayon, corduroy and gabardine, are
catching on like wildfire.
This popularity is we'll deserved
because the jumper is a very
practical addition to a wardrobe
since it can be dressed up with a
frilly blouse for Sunday-best wear
and toned down for every day with
a simple tailored blouse.
Durable suits also are popular
and dresses, particularly with bows,
bands, embroidery, ruffles are
favored by the younger students.
The trend in coats is toward COL
legiate practicality. Double breast
ed styles in fleeces, pile fabrics and
tweeds, modelled on officers coats,
chesterfields, and boy coats are
favored while a pea jacket, just
like that worn by sailors, in navy
all-wool melton is particularly at
tractive with plaid skirts, dresses
and jumpers.
All in all, styles are basic, and
fabrics, durable, the whole ward
robe trend being as practical as
that designed for college girls to
meet wartime demands.

guidance program for the students
with self guidance an objective.
Mental health and mora
building. are also important func-
tions and so is participation in the
war effort. Every teacher will be
asked to take some part IN war ac-
tivities and all students will be
given an opportunity to participate
in some form of war effort. We are
also maintaining in cooperation
with the federal employment Of
flee, an employment bureau for
students. Employers wishing help
may communicate with that bureau,
calling the Junior college.
"We recognize that the schools
are only one of several agencies in
our community concerned with the
development, of youth and we re-
gret that this year we could not
ask them to join us in our luncheon
meeting, food shortage and lack OF
points making that impossible. We
know, however, we snail continue
to have their cooperation, and they
ours.
The meeting opened with the pat
riotic ceremonies and special tri-
butte to students and faculty men,
bers in the armed forces, to teach
ers now in service and to those who
have returned to service to aid in
the emergency.
George r. Kirk, president of the
elementary school board, and j. E.
Brock, of the secondary, welcomed
the teachers.
After the general meeting the
teachers adjourned to their respec-
tive school buildings for meetings
with the principals during which
all details were organized for the
opening of school Monday. The
meetings concluded with a luncheon
for all teachers in Wilso school.
Schools open Monday morning at
a. m. and close at noon. Regular
session begin Tuesday at 8:55 a. m
and the school cafeteras will be

CooIie Jackets
Are Banned

WASHINGTON. Sept. 18 CUP)-
The War Production Board today
made it clear that its restriction on
the use of material for women's
coats prohibits the manufacture of
coolie jackets.
A WPB spokesman said that
coolie coats-which only come down
to about the hips-leave too much
of the body exposed, and therefore
are considered a waste of material.

HOLLYWOOD
BY ERSKINE JOHNSON

/ men but as beaten soldiers, tired of
war after two winters on the Rus
sian front.
Like 'Hitler's Children" the
story revolves around the German
master race theme. And is even
more daring.
TYPICAL THEME
Nancy Kelly is refused permis-
sion to marry her sweetheart, a
Nazi officer, because she does not
measure up to the physical require
ments of the government. When
steps are taken to sterilize her, she
flees, is captured by s. S. men and
then killed when she attempts an
other escape.
The Nazis try to force mother
hood on Gail Patrick in a romance
with her brother-in-law when her
husband returns home from the
Russian front critically wounded
The husband, respondent, COM
mits suicide and before the Nazis
are able to arrest her, she un-
covers a skylight, guiding American
planes on bombing expedition. She
dies as the bombs shatter her home.
We watched Miss Patrick on the
set yesterday and it was very real
istic indeed She said she enjoyed
this heroic dying business immense
ly because she is always the gal
who slips poson into her husbands s
coffee, or breaks up somebody's
beautiful romance on the screen
This is her first really sympathetic
role, and she's happy for the chance
to prove to Hollywood that she can
be good girl.
We also talked to Herman Mill
akowsky, the producer of the pic
ture, who can always film his own
experiences if he ever runs out of
ideas Millakowsky was a film pro-
ducer in Budapest and Berlin who
fled to Paris the day Hitler came
into power. He fled again, with his
wife and two daughters, three days
before the Nazis marched into Paris
In CaSablanca, the family finally
received passage on boat to New
York.

Avs GAINS FAME

The fame of the ground observa-
ton corps in Imperial county is
spreading as is shown by the fol-
lowing article reprinted from the
Daily Times Advocate of Escondido: j:
Fifty years ago Coyote Wells
was one of those spots all eyes
sought out on the map if a journey
were contemplated across the
Colorado desert. Today, even with
our automobiles to travel in,
Coyote Wells is still a spot to re-
member, for there you can still
find water.
Coyote Wells lacks population.
In fact, at this writing, it varies
from one TO two persons, according
to the number of observers on shift
at the ground observation post of
the aircraft warning service. These
volunteer observers live in Ell
Centro and Imperial, some 25 miles
away.
"On June 30. 1t. Alfred Moses,
Jr., of the San Diego air defense
wing, while on his way to FL
Centro, stopped at the Observation
post to make an official visit.
While conversing with observers,
he noticed soldier who was
dressed in dungarees and covered
from head to foot with hot, dry
dust, approaching the post.
Suddenly one of the observers,
Joan Fleming, exclaimed This is
my job And the next thing the
lieutenant knew, Joan was on the
handle end of the good old hand
pump.
"'Get under Joan said and the
soldier did, finally emerging from
under the stream of water looking
like a human being and refreshed.
"I thought maybe the girl knew
the boy the lieutenant said to
Earl Northrop, district director
for the AVIS, but I found after
talking to the chap that he was
tank pilot, his tank had broken
down, and help was needed
"If you should stick around
Coyote Wells for a while North
rop said, you will find there are
numerous occasions to help desert
travellers. At times our observers
have been able to lend helping
hand in various ways.
Refreshing some truck or tank
driver out on that hot desert is the
real thing. Our observers realize
that and are civ too glad to CO.
operate in every way they cam
Joan Fleming is a Girl Scout
and a good onel Ever since school
vacation began, Joan, who is not
yet Is years old, has been making
up for lost time. She is filling
shift after shift on the observation
post while others are out on their
vacations. And in addition to that'
she and her Girl Scout pals are out
on a recruiting crusade in the town
of Ell Centro for more observers.
"They are going from house to
house, ringing bells and calling at
tention to the fact that observers
are needed for the AVIS. OF course,
Joan comes to this leadership
naturally as her mother is the ad-
jutant in The f Centro Red Cross
Motor corps. This motor corps IS
doing a wonderful job in transport
ing volunteer observers to their
desert posts.
"Yes, Joan is a dyed-in-the-wool
American girl willing and glad to
do her little bit when the oppor-
tunity affords, in order that she
might continue to enjoy her liberty
in the future.

little or no moves have been made to
consolidate and study the joint
findings.
