HOME GARDEN
By BoB HoPE


 In order to aid UNNRA in its efforts to feed Europe, we should all try to conserve food these days. And to help the worthy cause along, I started a vegetable garden in my backyard last week. Yes sir, I'm sure glad I saved by Hoover buttons.
 I bought the very best kind of seed and followed all instruc- tions. but, at first, all that came up were gophers. Then I found out you're supposed to take the seeds out of those little pa- per bags.
 Raising vegetables certainly has its problems. The neighbor's chickens ate my seeds as fast as planted them. I don't know If they did them any harm, but my neighbor is complaining that his hens now lay Spanish omelets Then I tried putting those vita mins in the soil, but I must have used too much of the stuff. |. every time my back is turned, a tomato runs off with my cabbage.
 All my vegetables are coming up now, and today ate my first homegrown radish. The soil in California is really remarkable that radish is stul coming up
 My garden is now the talk of all Hollywood. everywhere you go you hear people talking about "the way Hope has gone to seedP Seriously though, we should do our best to conserve food. It's a great feeling to know you're do- ing your share to help others 1t may give you a swelled head. but never e swelled middle.

the man who has gone on record as favoring letting l8-year-olds have the vote.
 Maybe the squealing- bobbv- scorers, more interested in Frank Sinatra than the President of the United States, weren't yet l8-year- olds.
 But Is the Sinatra fans of 16 go- ing to be mature enough to vote at 18?
 The growing-up, maturing process just isn't that speedy, is it?
 It looks as though anyone who favors giving l8-year.olds the vote just isn't well acquainted with le-year-olds. The majority of them are still living in the little world of their own age group, with some lofty ideas, perhaps, about how the world should be run, but without enough experience in living to know whether their ideas are practical. FIGHTING ISN'T VOTING
 And the pat line If he's old enough to fight he is old enough to vote" doesn't hold water Fighting is a physical feat. The young make the best soldiers be- cause they have the physical strength and endurance necessary for the job.
 But voting is a job for maturity. We haven't taken the vote from men past the fighting age-so why should we give it to a group just because they have reached the fighting age?
 The Sinatra craze ought to be an indication to anybody that youth is still impressionable, flighty, and that kids aren't matur- ing any faster today than they ever did.

Spring Hats Are Shining Examples
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Winter

If your spring bonnet cuts shine we allude to the straws be- jeweled with sequins and gems your nails can be decked out in polish which adds its bit to the fireworks.
 That's the newest conceit on the fashion front. Made to tie in with the shimmer or sheen on spring hats or duds are high-fashion shades of irridescent polish. Proof of popularity is their adoption by top-flight models like chic Ruth Sherwood, who picks a golden-red shade of irridescent polish to wear with a sequin- trimmed green straw hat, tulle-tied under her chin.
 Actually says Ruth, this pol- ish leads double life. The fire works don't begin until night lights go on to whoop up irridescence.

Though he is the proprietor of a sWanky night club in Monogram s musical, Swing Parade of 1946." now at the Strand TheGter, and has sung in night spots from coast to coast, Phil Began would rather have nothing to do with these rendezvous of Splashy living, except professionally. Not that Began con- Siders himself above those who free quent clubs, but he doesn't dtink-- and besides he has a wonderful nome, sweet home" in California.
 Whenever the Irish tenor is on personal appearance tour, his thoughts drift back to the sunny Southland. I'm not a traitor to Brooxlyn,2 Began is quick to point out, But we do have Q grand home in Pasadena" The Regans decided to leave the happy town of the Brooklyn Dodgers some years ago, and make home on the West Coast. Up until then Phil had been member of the New York police force, but he was wearing out so many shoes, that he decided to try his luck with his voice. Then, at least. he wouldn't have to worry about flat feet.
 Began never had formal sing ing lesson, but as a youngster he was a PauliSt Choir Boy in Brook lyn, and fell naturally into the ren- dition of Irish ballads. Phil didn't worry about his chances of success, what with his voice and the con- stant encouragement of his wife. He and his Mrs. were but seventeen when they were married, and they lived happily ever since.
 Co-starring with Began in Swing Parade of lo46" are Gale Storm. The Three Stooges, Connie Boswell. Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five and VIII Osborne and his orchestra. Phil Karlson directed the Lindsley Parsons and Harry A. Romm pro- duction.

That eagerly-awaited event, the return ofa Clark Gable to the screen after three and 0 half years in the Air Corps, took place yes- terday at the Loew-Poli theatre in Adventure" in which the popular Gable is seen for the first time With Greer Carson. The combina- ton of Gable and Miss Carson is at all times exciting and electric, and 1t is obvious MGM has found Q team that the movie-going public will want to see again and again
 Gable fits perfectly into his role of the tough, carefree Merchant Marine bo'sun with a love in every port until he meets Miss Carson, enacting San Francisco librarian and a model of department. At first repulsed by the bo'sun's down. victim to his charms and before she quite realizes what is happen ing, has married him. She is dis. illusioned about any dreams of domestic bliss however, when she learns that Gable does not intend to give up his Sea-roving life, In an unexpected climax, Miss Carson finds a way of winning her hus- band back for good.
 The stars are given splendid sup port in Adventure" by such act- ing veterans as Joan Blondell, Thomas Mitchell, Tom Fully and John Qualen. Miss Blondell, in her first role since, "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" offers a warm and hum orously sympathetic portrayal as Miss Garson's roommate, while Nit chell is splendid as Gables hard drinking pal who fears he has lost his soul.

Seldom has motion picture come along to the screen with the heart-breaking intensity and stir ring characterization that are pre- sented in "The Last Chance" M. G.M. International production film cd in Switzerland and now on view at the Strand.
 Story of a group of hunted peo- pie who make their escape, to freedom across the Italian border, the picture packs excitement, from Its opening sequence of an attack by Allied planes on a prisoner war-train, through the climatic episode of the climb of the fugitives over an Alpine pass through blinding snowstorm.
 The action centerS on Sgt. Bra- dock, U.S.A. (Ray Reagan) and It. Halliday (John Hoy) of the British Army, two of the men who escape from the train. They are aided in their getaway when a sympathetic Italian hides them in a loft and subsequently, persuades a friend to transport them by cart to a lake town on the border. Here they find refuge when a priest who is har- boring another escaped Allied pris- oner, Major Telford (EG. Morri- son)
 When the retreating Germans attack the village, the priest is ar- rested and the trio make a dash for the Swiss border in company with a group of civilians. They realize that if they take the others with them. their chances of escape are slim. However. they cannot on Humanitarian grounds leave them behind, and so begins the grim march across the Alps, a flight punctuated by acts of heroism, courage and suspense.
 A nawless cast breathes reality into the roles. Began, as the Am- erican sergeant, offers a persua- siVely fortnight performance. Hoy and Morrison are excellent as the British officers, and others who stand out include Romano Calo as the priest, Therese Giehse as courageous refugee, and Robert Schwartz as her son who offers his fife so that the others may achieve freedom.
