POLI'S

If your funny bone could stand a bit of rib- b-tickling the place to go is the Loew's Polt theater where M- G-M's movie version of the humor- ous side of Army life, See Here, Private Hargrove," is playing and two more days to go. Robert Walker, who made his movie debut to im- mediate acclaim in "Bataan" and later appeare din Madame Curie," appears as Private Hargrove Kee- nan Wynn plays his buddy, Private Mulvehill. When Hargrove, a re- porter on the CHARLOTTE NEWS. is drafted he quickly learns he is not adaptable to Army ways. His buddies played by Keenan Wynn, George Offerman, Jr., and Bill" Phillips do their best to help him, but Hargrove finds himself spend- ing most of his time polishing gar- bage cans. Things change when Mulvehill, whose eye is quick to de- tect the means of making an extra dollar, sells Hargrove a date with Donna Reed, although Donno knows nothing of it. Despite Donna's res- ponse to Hargrove's introduction, they fall in love and Hargrove turns over a new leaf. AS result of this improvement he is made an acting cvorporal but mistakenly delivers his squad to the enemy during maneuvers. Meanwhile, he has been writing series of articles for the CHARLOTTE NEWS. which he be- heves can be made into a good book. He journeys to New York to sell the book and to see Donna. His trip is successful on both counts. On his return. Mulvehill figures out an angle to be transferred to a desk job on Public Relations. But when he and Hargroye learn their squad is to be sent overseas they manage to be transferred back in time to retoin their comrades. Robert Walker is outstanding as the hap less rookie, whose fumbling finally turns into good soldering, and Donna Reed is delightful as his TO- mantle interest. Good jobs are turn- ed in by Keenan Wynn, George Offerman, Jr., and Bill" Phillips as Hargrove's buddies and Chill Wills and Donald Curtis as the luckless sergeants. Robert Benchley supplies additional moments of comedy. Wesley RuggleS directed and George Haight produced for M-G- M.
 The co-hit on this big program Is Hot Rhythm" with Dona Drake and Robert Lowrey. The story is a comedy of errors. which concerns a popular radio band, a manufacturer Of photograph records, a girl singer with radio ambitions and a wacky secretary who is no slouch herself, when it comes to singing. It all adds up to a very amusing and very en- Joyable film.

 Fred ]. schwiart and his group of theaters recently sponsored the Nassau County million dollar bond dinner. I brought over @ deck of cards autographed by General Eisenhower and General Clark, and while the top bid on the cards in the bond auction was $100,0O0, the deck actually resulted in the sale of S275,000 worth of bonds.
 These big figures remind me of a grand slam hand. The final con- tract was forced by East, who felt that the small slam in spades was certain, but that his club ace would provide him with a good defense against seven. The reasoning was good, but the distribution favored South.
 The opening lead was won by South, and low club was ruffed in dummy. He ruffed a diamond in his own hand, and when both opponents followed suit, the rest was easy. The ace dropped both adverse trumps, and South mad no further worry about a possible club loser. He entered dummy with the ace of hearts, ruffed another dia- mond, which dropped the queen, and then spread the hand for all the tricks.
 South could not safely bid the grand slam himself. as the bidding indicated that the club ace was held by the opponents. North made a fine bid by going to seven. when South made a forcing pass after opening with a two-bid, declining

Tn the home to wary beard reduce accident hazards for all members of the family, but parti- cularly for the old people. All stair ways or steps should have hand rails. Steps should be kept firm and free from loose boards. protruding nails, or loose carpeting.
 FIREPLACE GREAT HAZARD
 Halls and stairways should be kept lighted at night. If an old person needs to be up at night, a dim light should be kept burning in the bathroom. and the door left open for his convenience. If he sleeps upstairs, gate should be placed at the top of an open stair way. Old people are likely to be- come confused in the darkness, make the wrong turn and fall downstairs.
 Care should be taken to protect old people from accidents about the stove or fireplace. They may not smell escaping gas. or discover the burning match or live coal that has poped out on their clothing. Any necessity of their refueling the stove should be avoided.
 It may take constant watchful- ness to prevent such accidents, but don't forget the dignity of the in- dividual in trying to protect him. He is often sensitive about his weakness, and for this reason one needs to be tactful about setting up restrictions. He should not be made to feel that his ability to take care of himself Is questionable

BARGAIN HUNTERS NOW FIND BEST BUYS AT SWAP SHOPS
BY CAROL HERMAN MIA cknee VUf-ata-

New York-The pinch of wartime scarcitieS is making Mrs. America an inveterate barterer. Housewives who once had quite a time keeping within the budget have learned to strike shrewd bargains at swap shops, trading egg beaters for diap- CTS, heating pads for alarm clocks and baby buggies for snow suits.
 Three trade-in marts are flour ishing here under auspices of the unteer Officer. The first of these put out its open-for-swapoing sign less than a year ago and already has made more than 19,000 ex- change transactions.
 The shops started business with a stock of donated articles. These items were given point evalua- tions and tagged with white, green, orange, yellow, or red tickets. Mer- chandise leaves the shop only in possession of persons who have trad ed in articles judged equal in value by the swap shop appraising com- mittee.
 Every day occur such trades as, six dozen diapers for pair of roll- CT skates and an egg beater, two felt hats for lamp, meat grinder for skates and four Louis XVI chairs for brown carpet, 9-12.
 Some transactions involve credit slips. For instance, a woman who brought in an ash tray, heating pad and costume jewelry, picked out two ornamental vases and four unframed prints and was still en- titled to credit slip, good for one item tagged with a yellow ticket.
 Electrical appliances are most in demand. Scores of women who rush In and offer to pay any price for the electric toaster or the alarm clock in the window are always doomed to disappointment. Swap shops are not interested in money.
 Children's shoes and rubbers are also highly prized, while the rapid turnover in maids has given rise to a brisk business in uniforms. An array of maids uniforms in one shop carries a sign reading: "If the old uniform doesn't fit the new model, come in and swap it."

NUTRITION NEWS BY BEATRICE HALL
 Nutrition Directory Connecticut Dairy and Food
 Council, Hartford

With the sudden changes in the food picture these days, the one who does the grocery shopping has to keep an eagle eye to know both points and money values. The Nu- triton Committee calls attention to the large number of foods which are on the abundant list at pres ent Certainly, one can follow the Basic 2 with the greatest of ease and use only abundant foods.
 Green and yellow vegetables are in the first food group. There is. of course, an excellent variety of fresh vegetables in the market to- day-dandelion greens and aspara- gus, carrots, beets and beet greens, fresh new cabbage and salad greens. Potatoes and onions, though scarce earlier, have been on the abund- ant list for some time. Tomatoes and frozen vegetabels are at zero point value. Fresh grapefruit has remained of good quality and reas- enable in price. Canned grapefruit juice requires only few points. Frozen and dried fruits have a point value of zero.
 In Connecticut we have a good supply of fresh milk. which is more than welcome news with the ap- proach of warm weather. Although point values of most meats are at zero. from few days observation of the situation it seems that this does not mean that all cuts of meat may be available when we want them. This is good time to use an occasional can of salmon, zero point value, or fresh fish which is more plentiful now The egg sup ply . good and we should not for ge. some of these meat alternates in this present meat situation.
 Cereals have been fairly abund- ant, are low in price, and give high food value for money spent. They are good source of vitamin Bl and contribute varying amounts of the vegetable type protein, which must be supplemented with milk, cheese or eggs. Point values of butter and oleomargarine have been reduced and with the reduction in point value of meats the reaction of many persons was that they would now have more points for butter. How ever, it must be remembered that red points have to last twice as

 It's much more important, and more fun, too, 1t seems, to spend money for things that are scarce, hard to get, or just pure luxuries. WANT SCARCE ITEMS
 The government doesn't have to ask people to buy liquor, or dia- mond rings, or fur coats. They'll stand in line for those things.
 Since that is true, and since the government is bound to re- member the way, before ration ing, people rushed out to buy and hoard everything rumored soon to be scarce-it looks as though government officials would have known better than to say 'Buy-there's plenty" If they really wanted the people to buy.
 That isn't wartime philosophy of the American people. We've been fed too long on You'd bet ter buy this while you can get it, because there is going to be 6 shortage" to pay attention to any other appeal.

Firms Draft Rejection
OF Russian Terms,
Prepare 10 Fight On

By the Associated Press
LONDON, Mar. l6.-Warned by
a British broadcast that she faces
the most momentouS decision of
her history" Finland was re-
ported drafting a negative reply
today to MoScow'S peace pro-
posals and wearily digging in for
a last ditch fight beside the
Germans.
A Helsinki communique last night
said the Finnish Parliament had
unanimously approved a motion "to
return to the order of the day'-a
move tantamount to approval of the
Finnish governments rejection of
the Soviet terms.
BIC Urges Acceptance.
At almost the same time Parlia-
ment was considering the question
of peace or war, a BIC broadcast,
obviously officially approved, gave
what it called final warning" to the
Firms to accept Moscow's "moder-
ate" terms and get out of the war
at once or face the prospect of ma
tional suicide"
ITO reject the terms will be to
court national disaster" said the
broadcast, directed to the people of
Finland, ito accept means the sur
vival of Finland as an independent
sovereign state"
The British appeal to the Firms
said "the world at large-notably
America and Sweden-rAgards the
armistice terms as acceptable and in
the circumstances even moderate. 1t
regards them as such in the light of
facts which Finnish censorship was
kept from you
Nazi Defeat Declared Near.
''The Finnish people must decide
whether to accept the armistice
terms for which the Finnish gov
ernment asked and thereby retain
the sovereignty and independence of
the Finnish state or reject the
terms and thereby court the full
horrors of war"
The statement declared that "the
final defeat of Germany is at hand"
and asserted that the world regards
you (Finland as the aggressor ma
ton"
A dispatch from Stockholm said
1t was expected there that Fin
lands final reply would be forward
ed to Moscow Saturday or Sunday.
From Helsinki, Associated Press
Correspondent Edwin Shanke re-
ported that the Firms were pre-
pairing everywhere for resumption of
hostilities. "Pessimism predomi-
mated in Helsinki," he said.
