THE WOMEN- Britain Realistic" In Bringing Soldiers Home To Be Fathers

bearing years left when Che var is over to have the children she wants and England needs.
 But the woman of Self she ia ever ~to have 6 first child-otlght to be getting at it. And England can't afford to have such marriages remain forever childless.
 So the husbands of these women are going to get to 90 home. FATHERS FAVORED
 There's nothing sentimental about that kind of reasoning. We in this country are the sentimental ones. For the pressure brought Co bear on the War Department to get our men back home almost always is in za- vor of the men who already have children,
 If anybody is going to get first chance ct leaves or of being given duty in this country we think the fathers should have it - and tho more children c man has the naoEe we feel he Is needed ct home.
 So of the two attitudes oirs is the more sentimental and least realistic.

POLI'S

dermany'S secret plans for World War IT form the unusual basis of RKO Radios newest screen of. fering, '"rhe Master Race2" which features George Coulouris ct the head of c distinguished cast. With most of It's action laid in Q little village in Belgium as the victori. ous Allied forces march in, the pie ture vivldiy deals with the rela" tons between the townspeople and the American and British troops aS the Allied forces try to restore or. der and reconstruct the cotmmun- fly.
 Working unobtrIlsiyely to arouse dlscon tent and antagonisTn through out the area Is Colonel Won Beck
 Won Beck's plans interfere con- siderabiy with the Allied comman- ders efforts to bring back pros- perity and they are dramatically interwoven with the lives of the villagers. How Won Beck is ur- masked after daring attempt to kill . group of German prisoners and blame Americans for the deed forms the striking climax to the picture.
 The big co.hit on this thrilling program is "Mademoiselle Eff" with Simone simon in the starring role, Simone's part is that of Q little French patriot who flaunts her de- fiance in the face of the oppressor "Mademoiselle Elf" is the nick name of c brutal and satistic Prus- sian officer who is the chief in. stigator of the torments leveiled against the French civilians. Tho heroine to obtain liberty for group of selfish fellow citizens submits to the humiliation of dining private ly with their oppressor and is af- terward sneered ct and snubbed by them. Aided by 6 patriot Republ- jican and the village priest the girl is instrumental in breaking the yoke of the oppressor and finds happiness for herself in the arm Of the man she loves.

STRAND

''TAke 1t or Leave It" is the cur- rent feature at the Strand. m addition to Phil Baker, the cast in. cludes Phil Sllvers, Edward Ryan, Marjorie Mossow and Stanley Prager.
 Phil Baker, cast as himself, in the surprise entertainment film of the year, presented Director Den- jamin Stoloff with somewhat of c problem, for many of Bakers scenes are centered around the actual hap- penings on his air show, "Take It or Leave It." The question was: Gould Bakers scenes be filmed on schedule, yet retain all the spon. taneous humor, pantomine ana suhtlety of the actor
 Bakers assurance that if he could make an unrehearsed program click off on schedule, he certainly would have no trouble with the same type of program on rehearsed time and lines. It brought to the fore the actors extraordinary sense of "tim- ing.
 The companion feature on the current Strand bill is Underground 0uerillas." and features John Cle- ments, Godfrey Tearle and Rachel Thomas.

ment of Negro soldiers and civil
ians, it is very discouraging, not
only to me, but to thousands of
soldiers over here including the
white soldiers. / have found out

your race, creed or color has moth

army. Out here Jap bullet doesn't

white soldier out here knows that
we are fighting for the same thing
that he is; that we are giving our
lives the same as he. He also knows
that we are human beings; that we
have feelings; that we have a heart
and mind that functions the same
as his. I have had the opportunity
of hearing them ask this question
over and over, what are we fight
ing for or what are we suffering
for? I would like to explain to
them and to all Of my fellow
soldiers, that we are Americans;
that we belong to the government

CamphOr Church News: "This is
the dawn of new day, and a new
South is in the making" stated
Reverend G. T. R. Nelson last Sum-
day morning when he spoke on the
subject, Sunrise" The context of
the sermon was a report of con-
ditions in the south as seen by the
pastor, and an interesting account
of the religious activities of our
sister churches in the south. The
choir rendered special music with
Miss Olga Anderson at the organ.
The Guild Hall was the scene of
a lively surprise party given by
the members of the church last
Sunday evening in honor of the
pastors birthday. Mrs. Josie VIII
liams shared honors with the
pastor, and was surprised with
a gift from the choir and church
members. Mrs. Genevieve Smith
was chairman of the affair.
On next Sunday evening the
choir will make their annual visit
to Fairmont Ave. Methodist church.
They will be guests at the evening
services of that church, and will
sing under the direction of Mrs.
Celesting Douglass.
Mrs. C. T. R. Nelson will report
on the Central Jurisdictional Lead
