ID CANDIDATE
FOR A
SUPERINTENDENT OF
PUBLIC EDUCATION

To the People of Mississippi:
When on next Tuesday you cast your
vote for the man who will determine
largely the educational future of the
children of Mississippi, you are urged
to consider seriously the fact that
Martin L. Riley has obtained the
Doctors degree in the educational
field, which represents the highest
training offered in his profession, has
beer superintendent of elementary and
high schools for Q years, has taught
hundreds of in-service teachers in
Mississippi during the IL years he has
been college or university professor,
and has had varied experience as q
practical farmer, World War Veteran,
Legislator, and State Director of a Fed
eral Agency.
Martin L. Riley is proposing a sane,
sensible, practical and professional pro-
gram with emphasis on: () cooperat-
with state and federal agencies to de-
velop a more equitable educational pro-
gram; (2) better trained, better paid.
better supervised, and reasonably re-
tiiSu dShih PSASoHCiB W.
ion of programs of studies according to
basic needs and vocational interests in
order that every graduate may be pre-
pared to earn a living; (4) more equi-
table remuneration of county uper-
intendents and employees, according to
the work required; (5)s a fairer trans
portation system with better paid bus
drivers; and CD use of sound business
and professional principles in the dis

ment of staff.
Never before have We needed out
standing educational leadership in the
State Superintendent Office as we
need it now and as we shall need it in
the postwar period; the best must be
given the youth of the State whether or
or not it means a change in admin
istratiOn. DR. Riley and his many sup
porters appreciate the splendid vote of

times demand the election of Martin
l.. Riley as State Superintendent in

The Department of Agriculture does
not recommend using any canning pow
ders to aid in preserving food. Some of
these chemicals may be more harmful
than others, and remember, too, that
some people may be more susceptible to
a chemical than others. 1t is also true
that small AMOUNTS might not be harm
full but the cumulative effects bad.

Fred Wilcox and Producer Sam

ded to move ahead with the pro-

poignant story of dog separated
from his young master, they start
ed out blithely to find the right
dog for the role. Since the palmy
days of Strongheart and Rin-Tin-
Tin, top flight Hollywood dog
actors have been fewer and farther
between. The Messrs. Wilcox and
Marx had very definite ideas as to
the appearance and qualifications
of the successful candidate; they
hoped to find dog to fill the bill
within a couple of weeks.
At the end of two months the
search was still going on, with ac-
celebrated velocity. Starting in Hol-
lywood, the director and producer
had moved on to upper California,
Oregon, then Chicago, Boston, New
York and Long Island. A total of
387 wagging, willing aspirants had
answered the first call in Holly
wood, and nearly as many had
turned out in Frisco, Boston and
New York None of them seemed
quite right.

Proudly We Hail
Is Due Here Soon

One of the most stirring film ro-
mances ever offered by Hollywood
is about to capture the heart of To-
ledo when Paramount's $50 Proud
ly We Hail" comes soon to the
Paramount theatre. The two people
whose love story the picture tells
are portrayed by Claudette Colbert,
famous around the globe for her
great acting ability and personal
charm, and George Reeves, a COM
parative unknown, who gets his
first real break as Miss Colbert's
screen sweetheart.
Reeves has appeared in some
western films, but it took Producer
Director Mark Sandrich's expert
enced eye to see the possibilities in
the attractive young man and give
him something really worth while
to do. In $50 Proudly We Hail" he
meets Claudette on board a ship
carrying nurses and soldiers to the
Philippines Immediately after the
attack on Pearl Harbor. Claudette
is one of the nurses, Reeves a sol
der in the Medical Corps. The
progress of their love affair, their
subsequent marriage and honey
moon on the besieged island of
Corregidor are reported to be abso-
lutely tops in film entertainment.
There are two other glamorous
stars in so Proudly We Hail" in
addition to Claudette Colbert They
are Paulette Goddard and Veronica
Lake, both of whom also appear as
Army nurses ard each of whom has
her romance, one gay, the other
tragic. Paulette's love interest rs
portrayed by newcomer to the,
screen - blond, handsome Sonny
Tufts, who is expected to make
terrific hit with feminine fans.
Tufts was singer in bands and
musical comedy and, although he
doesn't sing in $50 Proudly We
Hail." he is said to have high
comedy sense and his amusing per-
formance in this, his first picture,
will probably win him many more
light-hearted, romantic roles.
The love stories of the three girls
are played against thrill-charged
scenes of life on battle-scarred Ba-
taan and Corregidor. The picture is,
however, primarily a tribute to
those gallant girls who fought side
by side with their men, teasing,
loving, inspiring them and
never letting them down.
Lovely Barbara Britton and Wal
ter Abel have important roles and
are sure to be hailed, along with
everyone else in the picture, for
such memorable performances as
will definitely establish $50 Proud
ly We Hail" in the movie hall of
fame. Notice, too, the work of
Mary Servoss and Ted Hecht.

roles in '"The Purple Heart. The
big break for Charlie came when
he thought the whole world was

the blonde and glamorous Marilyn

Sports fans and churchgoers are
two groups which goth Century
Fox hopes to interest in the Rick
enbacker film to counteract the
loss of patronage from union
members.
Although the script is not yet
OKed and cameras are not sched-
uled to turn until late January,
an ace publicity man has been
concentrating for some time on
the public relations problem raised
by a picture for which an i'm
portant segment of the movie
public has indicted its aversion.
LAUNCHED AT WORLD
SERIES
The campaign to get plugs on
sport pages for the Rickenbacker
film was launched by Christy
Walsh at the World Series games
in New York. Walsh is Winfield
Sbeehan's partner in producing
the picture for 20th-Fox, and of
course is widely known in the
sports world. The years biggest
concentration of U. S. sports
writers was an ideal opportunity
to start the buttonholing.
Sports writers are counted on
to talk about the picture in their
columns and to reminisce about
the good old days of auto racing,
nlAk as an ace in World War r,
the example to American
~h of the sports figure who
mas become big businessman and
hobnobs with the worlds great.
(Sports lovers who belong to
unions will know how to protest
promptly if their favorite column
ist gets mellow about the glorious
background of the World War II
labor baiter).
BUILD UP BACKGROUND
SUPPORTING CAST. After
emphasizing the homely begin
nings of the industrialist, the
picture will illustrate the en-
inence and esteem to which he
rose by introducing as characters
Wilson, Pershing, Foch, Clemen-
ceau and Lloyd George from
World War l.
Also used will be men like Ford,
Chrysler, Deusenberg and De
Palma from the auto industry and
racing; Generals Marshall, Mac
Arthur, Eisenhower, Patton and
Giraud of the present war; world
figures such as Churchill, Stain.
Ghandi, Chang Kai-shek and
Nine. Chang; and even, not to
be too partial, Hitler, Goering and
Mussolini.
