Daryl Zanrck doesn't mind being
boiled in oil.
I'll be boiled in oil no matter
what happens were his exact
words
The goth Century-Fox studio pro-
duction boss was discussing his
two forthcoming films, Wilson" j"
the story of President Woodrow
Wilson, and "One World" the
screen perturbation of Wendell
WILKES best-selling book.
1.-The die-nard isolationists-and
there are still plenty CT them
aren't going to like me at all, he
said. 1.-The Republicans won't like
Wilson" The Democrats will yell
that I'm trying to help elect Willkie
president"
Well, said Daryl Zanuck, let
them yell. Let them scream. He's
going to brave the political roper
cussions because:
Cd I'm not interested in the
political aspirations of anyone"
(2) IT'S time the screen did
something significant, and the most
important thing right now is con-

we can't fence ourselves off from
the rest of the world. We must
learn about our world neighborS

them learn about u.s."

says, IF no one sees the picture?"
So there will be plenty of typical
Hollywood drum beating. Zanuck
says he can see the campaign on
"One World" now-big billboards

paws Sunday afternoon late to
the CONSERVATION of local mo-

Some cur snarled at Rex OH

about to discipline the other
dog. The. FIGHT began on the
sidewalk and wound up in the
middle of the street.
While traffic halted for two
blocks and drivers fumed, Rex
administered a thorough beat
ing to his enemy. The blows,
snaps, grabs, and growls last
ed 10 minutes, and until Sgt.
w. r. Zibclin could make the
canine fighters feel the lash of
his big stick. For overstepping

Camp Davis Purchases
Ice Making Machinery

Equipment has been purchased
which, when installed, will double
the capacity of the present ice
manufacturing plant at Camp
Davis and will go long ways to
prevent the repitition of serious
ice shortage here next summer.
Colonel Rolla V. Ladd, camp
executive of the anti-aircraft artil-
lery training center, revealed
Monday that the equipment,
bought from a Pennsylvania con-
Germ, is now en- route to the camp.
The enlarged plant, however, will
not be ready for operation until
next spring.
Because the present ice plant S
output was insufficient for the de.
mands of the personnel of the
huge post during hot weather this
summer, ice was purchased for
the camp from Wilmington con.
Germs, lessening the supply here
which was also depleted by sup
plies of ice contracted to the
Fruit Growers express.
