GasIisht'
Held Over
BY CHARLES GENTRY

SHEDDING SOME "Gaslight'
on the situation at the Michigan
we find that this excellent melo.
drama is so exciting the customers
! that 1t is being held for a SECOND
week.
1t certainly represents the best
work Ingrid Bergman has deliv.
cred since she first flashed across
the American screen In Inter.
mezzo" with Leslie Howard.
The proof Of the pictures sue
cess is In the amount Of discus.
sion that we've heard and over
heard since II opened.
Several have expressed the
opinion that they think Bergman
should certainly get the Academy
Award, although it's fairly early
In the cinema year TO start talk
Ing about that.
Others feel that the role of the
wife who is slowly being driven
insane by her fiendlsh husband is
a fool-proof part and that almost
any actress who could say Pass
me the celery" would do as well.
IN EXCELLENT TASTE
This is not true. because the
emotional exigencies peculiar "a
this role are such that they could
easily be over-exploited by any one
with less good taste.
Even 10 an intelligent actress
like Bergman. the temptation to
rave and rant must have reared
its historical head, but her control
Is so remarkable that you are
more impressed by the feeling of
mounting. but suppressed hys,eria.
In fact IL is a performance OF
such power that we don't feel
that we're being hypercritlcal
when we present one point which
had US slightly puzzled.
When the husband is finally
caught and neatly trussed up IN
the attic. she requests a chance
10 talk 10 him alone. In the play,
the wife slips the bolt and turns
toward him in such weird man
ner that for a few minutes you're
not sure that she hasn't really
>slipped her cable.
Perhaps IL borders on quibbling,
since the rest OF the perform
Hnce is SO remarkable why did
Bergman throw away the climac-
tic scene? Because IL Is particu-
iarly pointlesS when played
straight and IL could have been
converted into a punch ending.

Amazed At U. S.
War Effort

TUE REV. Cyril Forster Gar
= bett, British Archbishop of
York, has returned to his native
land after a months tour Of the
United States and Canada and has
expressed to the English people
his amazement at the war effort
Of the United States.
The visiting clergyman, coming
from a distant land, uninfluenced
by current propaganda, was deep
ly impressed by the tremendous
production record accomplished
since Pearl Harbor. In this achieve
ment, industry and labor have
jointly contributed in response to
generous outpouring Of cash
from the United States Treasury
The marvellous fact Of over
whelming production overshadows
the greed of some capitalists and
some laborers. On the whole, the
nation can be proud of the achieve
ments of management and Of
labor.

alf-Holidays General

THE RETAIL merchants of this
and other communities show
good sense and a modern outlook
in agreeing to close their stores
one afternoon a week during the
summer months.
Many of US can remember when
a store-keeper thought that his
place of business should be opened
at the crack Of dawn and remain
available to customers until the
last man retired from the public
streets. Gradually, the hours have
been shortened without injury to
business or inconvenience to the
buying public. Benefits to store
workers are obvious.
The buying public, if it ap-
proves the policy of giving store
workers an afternoon off should
see to it that the stores suffer no
loss. The public should not pen
alize progressive store-keepers be-
cause they are willing to be con-
siderate Of their employees.

Proper Methods

The "open kettle" method and
the "oven" method of home can
ming cannot be depended on to kill
harmful bacteria in food, say can
ming specialists in the Department
of Agriculture, and in addition
oven canning has caused serious
accidents when jars explode. Tho
specialists recommend that fruits
tomatoes, and picked vegetables
be pre-cooked and packed boiling
hot in hot jars, with lids adjusted
correctly, then processed in q
boiling water bath Gamer with
sufficient water to cover the jars
Peas, beans and other. non-acid
vegetables should be packed in the
same way, but processed in q

the 100000 new steam pressure

Smith in that trenchant military
publication, the Cavalry Journal, "a
phase in trained armed warfare that
concentrates on destruction (the
raiders destroy. the scouts merely

Back in the French and Indian
wars, the ancestors Of Douglas

Captain Smith, an American citizen
and later Of the French foreign
legion, has put on paper some of
the principles he has adduced from
his own experiences in World
War III.

''The usual method Of attacking

in recounting one of his experiences
with the guerillas composed Of Brit

the men to leave their cars (the
rubber boat Of the deserD and go
on foot up to the airdrome at night.
When possible. they passed the SEN
tries without detection and put their
bombs on the airplanes (chalk
marks when you just rehearse) then
left the airdrome and got suffi-
ciently far away before the bombs
went off.

their planes against such attacks.
approximately 300 enemy planes
were destroyed by this guerilla unit
in single 12-month span.
Captain Smith, writing in the
early days Of the war. says. ''in case
of the invasion Of Europe" the
benefits derived from guerillas
would be "of the greatest assistance
to an army opening bridgehead."
Well. not only the land guerillas
but also the men who come up out
of the sea by night are Of greatest
assistance whether you call them
by the romantic name Of com

American designation of "scouts and

Wheat loans that will average
$1.28 a bushel at the farm will
be made on the 1914 crop by the
Commodity Credit Corporation of

$1.23. Loans will vary from the
basic national rate of $1.28 to take
into account location, grade and
quality. Loans on farm-stored
and warehouse-stored wheat will
mature on demand, but not later
than April 80, 1945. Any loan

IAN MASARYK, Deputy Prime

not believe that seventy million
German people have been led into
war "by one abnormal monstros-

that it is necessary to "prove to

aggression does not pay"
We are thoroughly in agreement
with the Czechosloyakian. In the
process of proving this vital prin-
ciple to Germany, it will be neces-
sary for many German citizens to
pay penance for the crime Of their

MinOrities and Tolerance

THERE is considerable nonsense
= in the air upon the subject of
tolerance, with the politicians in
certain areas demonstrating lip
service to the promulgation of the
ideal.
1t is vastly amusing because the
minorities in the United States,
without exception, violate the fun
damental rules of tolerance. They
organize to secure special consid-
GRAFTON, not as Americans, but as
groups that must be given favors
in order that tolerance prevail.
There is studied effort to cre-
ate the impression that the minor
ity groups are oppressed, and, in
some States, no political campaign
is smart unless it carefully stakes
care of" the prejudices Of the
minorities that vote in strength.
1t is high time that somebody
thinks straight and talks plainly.
There is no minority group in the
nation that does not receive more
than it contributes to the general
welfare. None of them, regard
less of the method Of determina-
ton, pay in taxes as much as they
get from the public treasures,
state and federal.

racial, religious or other groups in
the United States but it is getting

rather tiresome to hear that they
are saving America and deserve
greater favors from other Ameri-
cans, who, in fact, are carrying
the bulk Of the load of the nation.
There is no easier way to
create animosities between groups
than for a minority, blessed by
freedom and liberty, to misuse
the privileges that are general in
order to secure unusual benefits.
The same misuse of political pow
er, which is apparent in some
States, will eventually bring a
reaction against minorities and it
will do no good, when the day
arrives, to yell for tolerance.
For years there has been under
way gradual growth toward the
development of country which
would offer equal opportunities to
all citizens, regardless of race,
religion or other distinction. The
merit of the individual, aided BY
individual initiative, was the ideal
factor to determine advancement.
The process, no doubt, was, and
is, slow but it is the only way
human beings develop.
Now, through the organization
of various minorities, we find in.
dividuals seeking preferment moi
on merit, recognized and accepted
by other citizens, but on the mere
fact of membership in a special
group. The weight of the grour
is thrown behind the individual
and, in cases, it is sufficient tc
secure special treatment and un
due recognition.
!, OF course, it is apparent that
the minority groups are doinl
what they demand that the res
of the public refrain from doing
There is no sense in extending
) favors to members Of variou,
groups, merely on the basis of ex
hibiting tolerance, when the sam,
group, exerting mass pressure

hibit the Americanism so blatantl,

What will be the result? Well

majority force, wipe out NOR,

) We have done everything in oul
power, as an honest writer, t,
prevent the growth of faction
alism, blocs and pressure groups
whether along racial, economic o.
religious lines, but the trend il
perfectly plain and the result
equally clear. The danger in thi.
country does not stem from so

aggressiveness of minorities VIII,
