May Day Festival
Very Successful;
Attended by Many

The May Day Festival, presented
by the pupils of the Grade School
was browning success last even
ing, when attended by more than
800 persons. The High School gym
nasium was iilled to Overlooking
and many we're unable to find
seats.
All of the children did remark
ably well in their acts and their
colorful and elaborate costumes,
made by the mothers and teachers,
contributed to the festive atmos-
phere.
The Queen ON her throne, sur
rounded by her attendants, formed
a lovely setting for the songs and
dances of the more than 400 child
rem participating.
Credit for success of the affair
goes to the untiring efforts of the
Grade School teachers and Mrs.
F. N. Pitts, music director. The
teachers are as follows: Miss Dalma
Hanson, general chairman; Miss
Holbrook, Mrs. A. Johnson, Mr..
Wright, Miss Lange, Miss Olson,
Miss j. Johnson, Miss Abel, Miss
Goodell, Miss Murphy, Mrs. William

''Du BARRY WA5A
LADY" ON SUNDAY .
CAPITOL THEATRE

Red Shelton takes a hilarious
leap into the dim and distant past,
and carries with him a group of
noted screen personalities, in "Du
Barry Was Lady" screen musical
comedy in technicolor opening Sum-
day at the Capitol Theatre.
The story revolves about the
dream of the comedian, who plays
a checkroom attendant in a night
club. He is in love with glamorous
Lucille Ball, star of the floor show.
He dreams he's King Louis and
she's his Nine. Du Barry. His
friends and associates of the club
become characters in the adven-
lures of the king and the charmer.
Amid comical complications galore
Red foils a plot against him and
then wakes up-and finds the true
path to love.
The comedy is embellished with
a catchy Cole Porter musical score,
with Tommy Dorsey and his band
doing yeoman service in the har-
mony line. Beautiful girls in elab-
crate Irene costumes add glamor
to the laughs. Before it is all over,
Dorsey dances to his own music in
the Friendship" number.
Shelton was never funnier than
as the merry monarch, and Miss
Ball, in gorgeous gowns, is alluring
as well as a clever actress. Zero
Mostel, New York comedian, makes
an suspicious bow on the screen in
the picture and Virginia O'Brien.

What Other Editors Have
To Say
OFF TO CHURCH WE GO

Lear OlkS.
During the holiday season our
youngsters insist on sleeping in the
morning-and remaining up undue
hours at night. Of course this pro-
cedure upsets the routine OF the
household and we find members OF
the family lunching and eating at
all hours of the day. However, the
big problem is to get them up,
dressed and fed in time for church.
We have church at 8, 8. 10 and IL
o'clock Sunday mornings and it is
surprising how many people are al
ways late. They seem unable to hit
any hour on time. When | make
an appointment it requires very
serious difficulty to make me late.
When others are late for ar appoint
ment with me it provokes me and
upsets me- Under the circumstances
you can imagine what goes on at
our house Sunday mornings
| make the rounds at 10 a. m. and
get the youngsters out of bed if
have to haul them out. | announce
they have an hour to get dressed,
eat breakfast and get to church on
time. Comes 1890 | start putting on
the heat. Some times this means
that two little girls start off to
church with tears in their eyes and
the mother angered to a high pitch
but they all get to church on time.
Last Sunday was the end of the hol-
iday season and there was hair
combing at 10.45 and | was on the
war path. Came 1885 and we had
not started. It looked like / was go
ing down to defeat when the good
wife announced the clock was 10
minutes fast. To make a long story
shorter we were at church on time
and~Were duly distracted by many
late corners. However, there was a
deal Of satisfaction to me to hear the
Pastor sermonize on the bad habit
Of being late for church It caused
me to sit back in the pew and feel
that same one appreciated the week
ly battle 1t requires to get my out
fit to church on time.
Some people are always late. They
make the train as it pulls out They
are late for the show, late for par
ties, late for appointments, social
and business, late for meals. Us
ually they are quite unconcerned
about it and carry on through life
just as happily as we who make an
earnest effort to be on time for
everything.
!. We sticklers for promptness are
seldom rewarded for the effort it
requires and we are always being
imposed upon by the happy-go-
lucky late corners.
Now, that | have put this in

just waiting for chance to catch

duly razzed.

CIVILIAN MEAT SUPPLY

About two-thirds est per cent? Of
the United States supplies OF meat
available for all needs in 1914 has
been allocated to u. S. civilians,
according to the War Food Admin
istration. This ALLEGATION will allow
about the same per capita civilian
meat consumption in 1914 as in
l943. On dressed weight basis, it
is equivalent to approximately 1872
pounds per capita for the year
compared with the pre-War 1859
average of about 126 pounds
