Rainbow Striking
Story of Russia
Courage in War
By VILLA BOOKER

Tuesday, Feb. 81, we with several
others, viewed the film, '"The Rain
bow" in the goth Century-Fox pre-
view theater. This film, Russian
produced, based on the novel
written by Wanda Wasilewska, is to
be shown in one of the local
theaters soon. 1t shows the hard
ships the Russian people under
went during German occupation. 1t
also depicts wildly the great cour-
age of the Russian people.
In this picture a particular Rus
sian village has had their stores,
homes, food and other properties
confscated by the Germans. The
Nazis are living in their homes,
eating their food, as much food as
they could find, and going mad
under the quietness of the Russian
people. The punishment the women,
the children and the old men left
in the towns take from the Ger
mans rather than reveal their
plans, will make the spectator sit
on the end of his theater seat.
The women undergoing childbirth
under eyes of German guards; see
ing their little babies shot as we'll
as their other children, see their
families starving, see old men,
children and old ladies as we'll as
young, killed, shot and hung and
yet refuse to give the enemy in
formation exemplifies courage not
found in too many nations.
They had faith in those fighting
for them. They formed secret
bands killing traitors and Germans
silently and cautiously. But not
all of them displayed courageous
spirit, for there was one Russian
girl, the wife of a Russian soldier,
who for the price of stockings,
clothes and plenty of food, lived
with a German officer, she was
killed by her husband when he re-
turned with others to save this
little village.
i Then there is the Russian peasant
who was termed mayor" by the
Germans, he revealed as many of
the plans of his people as he could
learn, for they soon became wise to
him. He returned to his cabin to
eat his eggs and meat only to find
secret band sitting in his room
to kill him for his betraying his
people.
The story ends, Russian soldiers
return to this village and take the
Germans prisoners. If you want
to see an epic of courage don't fail
to see "The Rainbow"

THE Able WALLACE SERVICE

put your money to work when you
bought this home and it is already
making you a siZeable income. AS
long as you are single, remain with
your mother and help her take care
of the notes on her home. She
frowned upon you buying the place
because she was afraid you were
going to move in the house alone.
Refuse to discuss the subject and it
will soon cease to be a bone of con-
tentiOn.
G. 81 am a girl of 10 years of
age and l think that maybe I am
in love with a boy %. He is a
country boy therefore not knowing
how to take a girl out and show her
a nice time. He and I get angry
with each other and tell him not
to come around any more and later
on he's back at my house again. He
is a good church boy, 1 am a girl
who likes to make all the dances,
but he doesn't want me to go to
dances. I like to skate too, he'll go
skating but he won't skate. He'll
drink a little sometimes but he re-
spects me when he does. Can you
tell me if he loves me or not? 1
get after him some times about not
going places and he always says he
doesn't like to go. What must l
do?
Ans: The vast difference in your
outlook toward life makes congeni-
atty almost an impOssibility. You
admire and respect him because of
his fine character but unless you
were very cOngenial and enjoyed
the same things in life, you would
be somewhat miserable. You, the
vivaciOus fun loving type, would
were you tied down to a quiet,
modest man who wanted only the
seclusion of a home and a few
casual friends. And if he found no
enjoyment in the activities that in
terested you, he would be very I'M
happy in your company. The time
to realize that a great difference
exists between you two is now, be-
fore either of you have grown
serious.

C. M. B.-I am really worried.
If my husband passes and goes in
service should go and live with
his sister and get a job or should
1 forget about a job and stay at
home with my mother and father
and look after my two little girls
and take care of what we have ac-
cumulated. Please help me.
Ans: The proper place for you
and your children is there in your
own home or in the home of your
parents. Rearing two children is a
full-time job and they should be
your first concern. Your parents
are eager to help you in any way
that they can while your husband
is away. You wouldn't be happy in
the home with your sister-in-law
very long. Neither would you be
cOntented to leave your children in
the hands of others while you work.
The income you will get from the
government will amply fill your
needs while in your parents home.
F. M.-Ten years ago I fell in
love with a girl but her mother
would not let her go with boys. I
went away and married but it didn't
last but two years. Recently I came
back and she was married but when
she found out 1 was back, she left
her husband and came to me and
told me she still loved me and only
me. We want to get our divorces
and get married. 1 love this girl
from my heart. Tell me what to
do.
Ans: Definitely refuse to en-
courage this girl to leave her hus-
band. Neither should you date her
during her present separation. You
would be happier to know that you
had no part whatsoever in this
broken marriage. However, if she
carries out her plans and gets a
divorce Of her own vOlitiOn, you can
renew this friendship with an easy
conscience.
B. C. M.-Please give me some
help as I am worried about an in
vestment I made. Last year I
bought a house and lot against my
mothers wishes. 1t is a nice house
and I have it rented out. haven't
finished paying for it yet but I pay
by the month. The rent more than
pays the notes. My mother thinks
that I should be saving my money
or put it on the homestead here.
Should I sell against my wishes or
continue on as I am? am &c.
Ans: From every indication you
made a good investment. Don't for
felt this place to settle family dis
pute but show your mother that you

our own devices our destinies, they
said, pointed toward the reform
school at Lancaster.
That first week Third Baptist
choir never missed a night singing
Religion Is A Thing Money Can't
Buy"-and the deacons never
missed a collection. When Friday
and six nights of moaning and rock
ing on the mourner's bench had
brought George and me no nearer
deliverance, my mother said it was
futile, that we were only soaking
up space and heat and denying two
more worthy little sinners a chance
at Heaven. But Georges Aunt
Emma, ever the incurable optimist,
contended that if Saturday night
and Reverend Howe's "Dry Bones
In the Valley" didn't fetch US, moth
ing would. The truth was Dry
Bones scared so much hell out of us
we were too weak to profess and
ask remission.
The next week the revival moved
to Zion Baptist, and the picture
changed. Zion, according to our
elders, was soft-shell. 1t would
take lightning and no bed to crawl
under to reach two hardened little
sinners like George and me. Zion
appealed to me. 1t seemed to have
the lofty purpose of its spires, the
quiet dignity of its stained glass
window with Shepherd and sheep,
the sweetness of the vox humana on
its great pipe organ. Reverend G. w.
Braxton's sermon on the sinking of
the Titanic was graphic, full of
beautiful words that went over too
many heads. The white-robed choir,
replete with that era's Andersons,
Maynors, Robesons and Hayes,
verged on the operate. Miss Beulah
Underwood sang Ave Maria, with
voice like Florence Mills, and the
dropping of a pin was audible, but
nobody was united with the church.
I, always the aesthetic, was all for
joining Zion, then and there, but
George said not to rush it but wait
and see what Middle Run had to
offer. We waited-and were glad.
Middle Run fairly jumped. I
shall never forget the Downward
Road or This Train Don't Garry No
Gamblers, Robbers, Thieves Or Mid
night Ramblers," snug with
strange analogy to the days hit
song, Livery Stable Blues"
The memorable thing, however,
was the conversion of Mrs. Betty
Trash. Neither George no I had
suspected that Mistress Trash was
not already a Christian. She was
to our way of thinking one good
woman. She had adopted and
raised little deformed Bradley
Trash when everybody else looked
for beautiful children with strong
bodies. Mistress Trash was a lady
of great circumference, strength
of character, and strength beyond
the possibilities of any of the best
known deodorants. George said one
drop of her perspiration was suf-
ficient to knock a hyena off a
garbage wagon.
All evening she had implored
Jesus to take her to His bosom.
George said it should be the other
way round. I knew what he said
was blasphemous, but thought it
funny, yet was too reverent to

London.
Concerning the charge that he
organized the Montoire meeting be-
tween Hitler and Marshal Petain
and arranged subsequent collabor-
alton, Laval replied the armistice
itself rather than anything he did
brought about collaboration, and
added:
"If the armistice had lasted sew
eral weeks-nay, several months
we would not have had to suffer so
many exactions and harshnesses
from the occupiers. But 1t lasted
four years and we had no power
whatever, no means other than ne
gotiation-now termed intelligence
with the enemy-to try to dam Ger
man rapacity and cruelty"
To the charge the Germans want
ed him in power when he was re-
stored to office March /. 1912. La
val said Reichsmarshal Hermann
Goering wanted the contrary. He
said he first refused to return and
then accepted, because he felt he
would be a shield for France.
He said he never ordered the
scuttling OF the fleet at Toulon, and
that its disposition was not in his
province, but that when he was
told II was going to take place, the
German official who brought word
stood guard outside his door until
after the seizure.
To the charge he urged resist

with the texts of several tele-
grams he Said he received from
the Germans, asking France to de-
clare war on the United States. He
said Hitler was in rage when he
told him France would not do so,
Among the other points in the
document:
That Laval thwarted plan to as
sassinate former Premiers Leon

That he (LavaD was grilled un-

That Britain had asked and OBJ

That Poland had agreed before
the war to a German superhighway
across the Polish corridor, and that
