Adventure
Poll eoture
Gable and Carson
In Starring Roles

Now on the screen at the Loew-
Poll Theater Is Adventure" in
which Clark Gable makes welcome
return TO the screen co-starring
with Greer Carson in the most eX-
citing teaming of the year,
AS the tough, open-shirted bo'Sun
of a Merchant Marine freighter,
Gable comes back to the virile type
OF role that kept him among the 10
boX-office bets for 10 years, while
Miss Carson makes an abrupt
about-face from her recent char
acterizationS to play an utterly
captivating modern girl
The story OF Adventure" heav-
lily charged with both drama and
comedy, has Gable and his pal,
Thomas Mitchell, on a big shore
leave in San Francisco, Mitchell,
who has made certain promises
when his life is saved following
Ship-wreck, fails to keep them and,
as a result, believes he has lost his
soul. In an effort to convince him
otherwise, Gable enliSts the aid OF
Miss Carson, playing a rather prim
librarian.
Her primneSS soon wears off when
she and her roommate, Joan Blon-
dell, spend a riotous evening with
Gable and his crew and Miss Gar
son finds herself involved both in
a dance marathon and a free-for rail-
bar-room brawl, She also finds her
self very much in love after whirl-
wind courtship with Gable at little
farmhouse, 1t is not until after
their impetous marriage, when
Gable prepares to shove Oft on an
other cruise, that Miss Carson rea-
Lies she Is married to man who
will spend very little time with her
and decides the whole thing was
grave mistake.
Miss Blondell is pert and viva
cious as the third member Of the
trio. Mitchell gives striking por-
trayal of the drinking sailor
who searches for his lost soul -
and the uniformly fine cast also
includes Tom Tully, John Qualen,
Richard Haydn, Lima Romay, Philip
Merivale, Harry Davenport and Tito
Renaldo,

HOLLYWOOD, March l5-Rita
Hayworth Is very much upset be-
cause columinists continue linking
her name with Tony Martin, One
femme gossiper announced that
Miss Hayworth and Martin would
marry In i947, sending the star into
another whirl Of denials, Accord
ing to Rita, her association with
Martin Is strictly friendship and
romance Is not In the cards.
I can understand why news
gatherers were quick TO scent q ro-
nance and II Is my feeling that
Miss Hayworth has herself TO
blame, Hardly week after her an-
nounced separation from Orson
Welles, Rita and Tony were seen
together almost nightly, and eer-
tainly they seemed to find pleasure
IN each others company. This, IN
spite Of the fact that Miss Hay
worth had taken no definite steps
TO end her marriage 10 Welles
But ! think Rita Is wise TO steer
clear OF romance for awhile, Still
In her twentIes, she has two divor-
ces 10 her credit, which isn't much
OF q record In Hollywood but Is
enough to prove that there might
be something 10 the addage, Mar
ny in haste; repent at leisure"
1t would be we'll for Miss Hay
worth TO 60 ahead with her plan
TO file suit for divorce, since she
insists there is no chance for a re-
Cancellation, then take time TO make
up her mind before re-entering
matrimony. Meantime, she is very
foolish 10 resent being mentioned
by Hollywood news hawks, especial
ly when she supplies the ammunl-
ton.

And endeavored to exemplify its
teachings in his everyday life by
his sterling integrity and Christian
example. He has left to his child
rem a legacy that cannot be meas
ured in dollars and cents.
He was a man of noble character
and used all of his entire life in
l, trying to make his family and
Ieveryone around him the same
way. He was a great lover of child
rem, flowers and music, and always
took delight in having many flow
ers and gayety i'm the home. He
took great pride in his grandchild-
ren and they all loved him dearly.
No words can express how much
we will miss him. No amount of
sympathy can comfort us, but we
must feel that il is for the best and
realize we must go the rest of the
way without him. He was a good
man. Gods will will be done.
II recall the days of childhood,
WonderOus days they were to me;
In the meadows, in the wildwood
Dreaming of the days to be;
Often-times my castles tumbled
And my childish heart grew sad;
But the one who helped rebuild
them
Was my dear, old Dad"
Dear, old Dad! Dear, old Dad!
You're the swellest pal 1 ever had." "
HE fell asleep! He knew that
night would come
For him, and grieved for others in
his home,
Who must his tasks take up and
carry thru,
Without his cheering presence kind
and true"
He wakes in fairer lands beyond
the sky,
Where love and happiness shall
never die.
His loving memory in our hearts
we keep,
Until we, in our turn, shall go to
sleep"

GI HOME LOANS
ARE MADE EASIER

Loans with which to buy, build
or remodel homes have been SIM
plified for World War II veterans
under terms of the amendments
to the Servicemen's Readjustmen
Act signed by President Truman
right after the holidays. This was
pointed out here today by Fred
Johnson, assistant secretary of the
Citizens Federal Savings & Loan
Association which has specialized
in making veterans home loans
during the past year when the old
law was in operation. Mr.. Johnson
said that to date the Association
has made possible, under the orr
ginal law, the ownership of 8 homes
by veterans in this locality. He
cited the recent prediction of a
Veterans Administration aide that
100000 h ON ownership loans
would be made to veterans under
these new provisions in 1916.
Under terms of the amendments,
the Veterans Administration will
guarantee up to $4,000 of the
amount loaned by the savings and
loan or other lending institution,
and thus it is possible for the vet
eran to get a loan, without a cash
down payment, .on a much more
adequate type of home than before.
Mr.. Johnson pointed out that the
amount guaranteed by the Vet
Grams Administration takes the

Arthur Norris Hartshorn, son
of George p. and Sarah Jackson
Hartshorn, was born Sept. 8, 1866
and departed this life Jan. 8, 1916,
aged 70 years and 4 months, He
was a member of a family of five
children, four brothers and one sis
ter. All preceded him in death,
Arthur being the last of the fam
lily.
On July 4, 1902 he was united in
marriage with Alice Hinton Harts-
horn. They had one daughter, Eula,
who is deceased. On June 5, 1906,
Mr.. HartShorn was united in mar
riage with Jessie Hemphill, who
survives. Also surviving is a daugh-
ter by this marriage, Mrs. Samuel
IWestlake, who resides at the par

place of the cash down payment
ordinarily needed for acquiring a
home, and with this substitute
down payment raised from the for
mer $1,000 to the new $4,000 amount,
returning service men have a bet
ter chance to acquire the kind of
home they want.
The veteran is still however
protected against buying a home
which he cannot afford or at a
ridiculous price, Mr.. johnson said.
THE new version of the law re-
tains the stipulation in the old that
no undertaking of home ownership
is to be guaranteed for the veteran
means and suitable for a dwelling
unless the house is within his
and unless the appraiser who is
appointed by the Veterans Admin
stration thinks its long-term value
is equivalent to the price being
paid today"
Priorities recently established
to channel the ten most scarce
home building materials into new
houses and apartments to which
veterans will be entitled to make
the first occupancy bid will mean
more and more utilization of the
terms of the Servicemen's Read
justment Act This Act visualizeS
home ownership as definite part
of the program for reabsorbing
servicemen into the civil life of
the community.
