Mushy was the worlds junior

activities like boxing, handball

Any day, you can see him jog

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Pauls declaration to the Hebrews,
Jesus Christ the same yesterday,
and today, and for ever" will be
the Golden Text in the Sunday les
n-sermon on Christ Jesus" in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist.
The lesson-Sermon includes this
statement from Malachi: Behold, l
will send my messenger, and he
shall prepare the way before me:
and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall
suddenly come to his temple, q.
And he shall sit as a refiner and
purifier of silver We are told in a
selection from Johns Gospel. Jesus
went up to Jerusalem, And found in
the temple those that sold oxen and
sheep and doves, and the changers
of money sitting: And when he had
made a scourge of small cords, he
drove them all out of the temple,
and the sheep, and the oxen; and
poured out the changers money,
and overthrew the tables; And said
unto them that sold doves, Take
these things hence; make not my
Fathers house an house of mer-
chandise."
On this subject Mary Baker Eddy
says in the Christian Science text
book, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" "As in
Jesus time, so to-day, tyranny and
pride need to be whipped out of the
temple and humility and divine

REFORMED DEAD ENDERS

One of Musings first big jobs
was to handle the Dead End
Kids. These outsiZe moppets were
confusing their screen and Off
screen personalities and indulging
in activities like setting sound
stages on fire, tarring and feather
ing ingenues, and applying the
hot-foot to their school teacher
Mushey stepped into this chaos and
did a little persuasive arguing
with his dukes. From that time
on, the Dead End Kids became
more amenable
Mushey trained Wayne Morris
for three fisticuff films. He also
trained John Payne, Jimmy Gag
ney, John Garfield, Enrol Flynn
and a lot of others, and acted as
technical adviser.
According to Mushy, the legend
that screen actors are sissies is
ious L wouldn't advise
anyone to tangle with some of
those guys" he says. They're
plenty tough. They keep in good
physical condition. They've got to,
because the camera is tough on

Women Ask Supervisors For
County Child Specialist

That proposition has been pre-
sented to the board of supervisors
with the request that the grant be
made, and the board is to vote on
it Monday. Every county in South
ern California, with the exception
of Imperial. has such a pediatri-
clan on full time.
In order that the supervisors
may know that the desire for such
a physician is general, a large at
tendance at Mondays meeting is
desired.
Dr. Ellarene Mccoy, pediatrician
from the State Department of Pub
lie Health, who, at one time con-
Quoted Well-baby conferences in the

travelling a matter of uncertainty,
the need of a pediatrician present

the deaths occur in the Mexican

represents menace to all chill

ice is being curtailed and remain
ing physicians overwhelmed with
demands upon their time, less at

through the early years when most

At the present time, conferences
