Work---Study
To Fill Jobs

The answer 10 the ever-inereas-
ing shortage of technicians and
skilled workers is the college CO.
operative plan of education
whereby young women can fill
these war-vital jobs while al the
same time study for professional
careers in engineering and bust
ness.
This was the message today OF
Prof. II. c. Messenger, who during
his Is years of work with the Co
operative plan has seen IL grow
throughout the nation TO play a
vital role in the educational and
industrial fields.
sTAFFS FACE DRAFT
"In recently made survey OF
the newer industries I'm northern
Ohio, and particularly the air
craft firms" he said. Officials
told me they expected to lose
up to so per cent of their tech
nically trained staffs because of
the new regulation calling for
immediate draft Of those under
90 pd previously deferred for
esseut ial work.
"The technical staffs are
comprised mostly Of these young
men who were more able than
older persons 10 study and adapt
themselves tn ways of doing
things I'm the newer industries.
"One of the greatest immedi-
ate problems of indsistrialists II
10 supplant these employees n
they are taken into the services.
They realize that the employ
ment and training of women ~
the only answer"
Messenger urged greater eX-
pansion of the college cooperative
plan. whereby women would alter
nate between periods Of classroom
study and paid work in industry.
CONTINUE STUDIES
He said that under an ac-
tolerated plan students could be-
gin 10 fill important jobs after
few weeks study. continue on 10
advanced studies and the more
technical positions.
THE plan paves the way for
more intelligent women In enter
comparatively new professional
careers while at the same time
permits them to make great
contribution 10 the war effort"
he said.

Cincinnati College of Engineering
and Science worked for many
years with the late Dean Herman

Among all these nice people engaged
in the presumably typical American
family life stalks Tone, a self-con-
fessed wolf who finds the older
daughter very attractive item fol-

George Marshall as director OF
True to Life" has seen to it that
the picture moves at pace neatly
calculated to deceive you in pas
sages that are more humorous than
they are perhaps true to life. Neither
he nor Paramount have achieved

of the program is Carolos Molina

HOLLYWOOD.
There's a little bit of heaven to
be found in nearly every Hollywood
studio these days. Fantasies are on
the upbeat and special effects men
are trotting out their best clouds,
wings and other celestial appur-
tenances to make the cycle realistic.
The comedy vein is struck on stage
l6 at Warmer Bros, where Jack
Benny is doing scene for The
Horn Blows at Midnight" It's pretty
daffy stuff they're doing out there
in the Warner heaven. Seems Jack
is an angel sent down to destroy
the earth by the simple act of blow
ing his trumpet at midnight. Guy
Kibbee as a heavenly chief "in
charge of small planet management"
is the man who sends Benny down
AS we came on the set, Jack was
being ushered into Kibbee's palatial
office by tall Alexis Smith, Kibbees
heavenly private secretary who has
crush on Benny.
Kibbee sits at an enormous desk,
dressed in his heavenly robes. At
signal from Director Raoul Walsh,
Alexis and Benny, also dressed in
long, flowing robes, make their en-
trance.
Jack is very impressed with his
surroundings and proud of the fact
that he's been chosen, among all the
hundreds of angels in heaven, to
destroy the earth.
However, Kibbee quickly debates
him. Says the chief: Our regular
demolition crew is out on a bigger

That the joke is one of Paramount S
favorites in many season is evil
dent in the fact that the cast in
cludes such a starry lineup as
Mary Martin, Dick Powell Franchot
Tone and Victor Moore They are
virtually the ideal people to catch
the most elusive overtones of the
screwball humor and the contrast
ing simple pathos of the Capitols S
picture.
On more modest scale, the Don
Hartman-Harry Tugend opus is
palpably kin to You Can't Take
1t With You of several years ago
1t deals with family life in more
imaginative terms than truth prob
ably justifies. but that never has
been harmful to any effort of the
cinema to make the customers laugh
and feel good about having to live.
"True to Life" thing of glib and
carefree movement is perfectly tail
ored to suit its cast. 1t gives Miss
Martin a chance to play role that
is so perfectly reminiscent of those
gentle, baffled people played by Jean
Arthur that there are times when
you think it is Miss Arthur. The
likeness is complete not merely in
the wide-eyedness of Miss Martins
approach, but in the various inflec-
tions of her voice. A thing like
that would give a special kind of
plquancy to film and in the case
of True to Life" makes one of it's
more arresting qualities.
The charade which she and the
others are acting out for you con-
Germs a pair of radio writer's who
have grown stiff and inarticulate
on high salaries. The one way to
save their jobs is to get back into
touch with the simple life, a thing
Which Powell accomplishes by
worming his way into the Porter
family which thinks that he is a
bum, a nice one and rather pitiable.
Miss Martin is the old daughter of
the family, waitress in a diner.
While Powell, with gentleman's
reluctance, is doing a perfect radio
script again simply by setting down
what he sees of life as the Porters
guest, the daughter is falling in love
with him. That means a lot of
complications on the way to the
denoument in which his duplicitv
is discovered by the Porters and
the romantic chaos has to be recti-
fled.
The inventiveness of those asso-
ciated with True to Life" is a
pralseWorthy thing. They were very-
smart in ornamenting Moore with
the character of the madly inventive
middle-aged Papa Porter, a won-
derfully wistful figure whose single
antipathy in the world is a brother
n-laW. 1t was clever of them too,
to Introduce Mother Porter as an
trascible matron highly suspicious
of the motives of writer Powell,
younger brother in the family whose
passion for medical education
makes him virtual ghoul in the
search of few drops of blood for
experimental purposes. and a young
sister whose heart shows promi-
nently on her sleeve whenever

The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-07-06

With all the promises of things unparalleled in charm and con- venience for postwar homes, what housewife's mind isn't alive with plans for improvements she can make? One dreams of building a brand new home, another is going to add sunroom, still another in- tends to bring her kitchen up to date or install new bathroom fix tures-after the war.
 But the homemaker who is plan ming to redo her bedrooms is really in luckl She doesn't have to wait for her plans to materialize because post-war styles in bedroom luxury are available right now in stunning headboard beds.
 A boxspring-on-legs with head board attached used to be exclus- lively a decorators item, but has re- gently captured the fancy of all style-conscious homemakers. One of the highlights of the Summer Furniture Market in Chicago, these beds will be available in almost all furniture and department stores come fall Although production of spring foundations is still limited, they are again being made accord ng to pre-war standards and pro- vide the quality of comfort that makes one bright-eyed and raring to

go in the morning.
 The headboards may be slip cov- cred or upholstered in attractive materials or combinations of ma terials to match draperies and bed- spreads which makes possible de- lightful variations in color and de- sign. Despite fabric shortages there is surprising number of headboard styles available right now after the war there will be no end os variety, and bedding manufac- turers feel that the headboard will take its place as the bed of the fu- ture.
 Elimination of sideboards and foot boards on these beds means sav- ing of 230 square inches of floor space which is no small advantage in tiny bedrooms. Twin headboard beds, although the sleeping surface is regular size, often fit beautifully into a room which might be dwarfed by standard twin beds.
 Like all things modern, headboard bers are practical as well as chic. Bedmaking is 100 per cent easier with no interefence from sideboards and footboards. Then, too, they may be combined with various styles of furniture and are truly a simple and inexpensive means of adding "oomph" to bedroom.

By WILLIAM P. MCKINNEY AmeFiea's Card Authority

The mixed pair event in the Mid- west Conference Tournament, re- gently held at Indianapolis. was won by Mrs, Max Gutman of Coy- tngton. Ky, and ?. R. lR0lly) Buck of Indianapolis. "Rolly" Is one of the 0ld-timers and his name will be found not only on national trophies, but on most of the ifn- portant mtdgesterD trophies.
 DeclareT could easily have missed making four hearts on t0day's hand, taken from the Midwest mixed pair event, When the opening lead held, West shifted to the ten Of clubs, which Buck fs0uth) won with the ace, Nov he did not make the mis- take 0f eashing three rounds Of hearts. He Jed q small heart to dummy's queen, led the seven of clubs and trumped in hls own hand with the six Of hearts. Another heart was won in dummy and the diamond sig returned,
 Nov you can see Vests predlea- ment. If East played l0w on the six odd diamonds the ten -spot would win. If West Tuffed. he would be end-played. If East played the queen and ted another diamond for her partner to ruff. the diamonds would be established and again West would be eFld-played.
 This hand has many interesting angles.
