BEAR GIFTS

Angels, sent by the Christ Child, bring presents to Hungarian chil- dren-that is, if they have been good. They believe the angels are listening long before Christmas. If the youngsters happen to find bits of tinsel on the floor they are certain of it, as this is angels hair.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-12-22

The giving of gifts to the poor at Christmas time originated with the belief that the Christ Child some times came to the door of beggar.

BOXING DAYS

In England, Boxing Day-usually Dec. 26-formerly was the day when the old squires distributed Christ mas boxes to the help on their estates. It has since become sort of legalized blackmail-an excuse for delivery boys, the postman and others who have served you during the year to call and collect a tip.

WALTER STEVENSON

IDA LUPINO, one Of Holly
woods best dramatic actresses,
does an about face for film fans
as she turns from the sublime 10
the ridiculous TO emerge as a
comedienne in pillow TO Post, "
which opened yesterday at the
Palms-State.
The English-born star whose
serious portrayalS brought her
film greatness appears here as a
gay, funloviHg oil saieswonan
whose merry miXupS with an army

ationS.
Designed solely for situation
comedy, the story begins with a
young girls efforts TO obtain
lodgings in an auto court where
she is required TO have an army
husband. She finally convinceS
an officer William Prince, that
all he has 10 do is register their

NO HORROR

the film is the fact that there is
absolutely no horror about ii.
Everything that happens occurs
with a kind of quiet, suppressed
terror that makes 1T even more
compelling drama than if you saw

BOgart does a great job as a
man who deliberately plans the
whole affair with the same kind

manages a very successful buSi-
ness. The death of the wife in an
automobile accident on a lonely
mountain road appears as sheer
accident, he being too crippled,

the crime.
But If dead men tell no tales,
murdered ladies do sometimes,
and the wife begins 10 reappear in
the form of a ring, a brooch, a
handkerchief and a iocket with
such regularity that Bogart is not
only driven almost crazy, but also
drives himself back 10 the scene of
the crime.

There are nine talented young

for a very entertaining stage
presentation.
There's Bob Hopkins, who is
not only a very clever comedian
himself, but who also imperSon-
ates all the top laugh talent in the

which is terrifically funny. When
he gets through being everybody

becomes himself and introduces
such amusing nonsense as h Q

LANIER UNIVERSAL
CHOICE FOR MINISTER
TO LIBERIA

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
R. O'Hara Lanier, former acting
president and dean of instruction at
Hampton Institute and now a spe-
cial assistant at UNRRA, has the
backing of all factions of Negro
leadership for the position of Min
lister to Liberia, the NNPA has
learned this week. Pres. Truman is
expected to fill the position, vacated
by the resignation of Lester Wal
ton, within a few days.
The name of C. C. Spaulding,
president of the North Carolina
Mutual Life Insurance Company of
Durham, N. c., also was recon-
mended to the President for con-
sideration. He was backed by ]. E.
Mitchell of the st. Louis Argus.
Mr.. Spaulding's name, with his con-
sent, has been withdrawn by his
sponsors, however, and they are
now backing Lanier for the post.
Lanier has been endorsed and
urged by Congressman William l..
Dawson, Mrs. Mary Mcleod
Bethune, and DIR. Charming B. To-
bias. He was the first Negro dean
of instruction at Hampton Insti-
tute. Formerly, he had been in adj
ministrative positions at Tuskegee
Institute, Florida A. and M. Col
lege, and at Houston Municipal Co.
lege. Before going to Hampton, he
was assistant to Mrs. Mary Nc
Leod Bethune in the Office of Ne
gro Affairs of the NYA.
When DR.. Malcolm M. Mclean
resigned as president of Hampton
Institute, Lanier was named acting
president, and was at one time con-
sidered for the presidency of that
institution. He served as the first
Negro head of the Institute frl(n
Jan. 1943 to Feb. 1914.
He is native of Winston-Salem,
N. c., married and the father of
two daughters. He is member of
the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity,
the National Vocational Guidance
Association, Pi Gamma Mu, Delta
Zeta Chi, Phi Delta Kappa, and
Alpha Pi Mu.
The President is expected to with
hold action in filling the Liberian
post until after the new Secretary
of State is named to fill the vacancy
created by the resignation of Ed
ward R. Stettinius.
