Twentieth Century Fox has
changed the title of Bob, Son of
Battle" but the story is reasonably
the same in Thunder in the Valley"
the Columbia Theater's Christmas
feature. The latter. CT course, is
sensible, for it is a dangerous thing
to play too loose with the loyalty
of Alfred Oilivants perpetual public.
AS it stands, Thunder in the
Valley is something the Ollivant
loyalists may see without fear that
it contradicts the real excitement OF
the original tale.
Moreover, Ould Bob in Techni-
color is at least as handsome as he
used to be in your wide-eyed

Mccoy"
ANY photoplay which marks the
passing of Andy Hardy must, of
course, be greeted with politeness.
Killer Mccoy" however, does not
have much new to say about the
prize fight game. 1t has been made
an A picture only by the expendi-
ture of money and acting talent on
a definitely B picture script. To the
credit of Brian Donlevy, Sam Le-
vene, James Dunn, Tom Tully and
some others, perhaps Director Roy
Rowland, it must be reported that
the film is played just as if it made
sense.
Mickey is cast as a tough lad
from New York's lower East Side
who rises to ring fame of a sort
after accidentally killing the ex-
champ who had befriended him. On
his way to this eminence he runs
afoul of gamblers, one of whom
(Donlevy) buys his contract from
his alcoholic father DUNN. From
this. point onward the film is based

Box Cars And The War

the battle lines did much travelling in such
conveyances, especially in France. The
French lettering on the box cars became at
the wars end, the name of one o. the vet

THE STORY OF
JOHNNY

Johnny Appleseed" travelled
back and forth over the states of
Ohio. Indiana and Illinois, through
western Pennsylvania, New York
and in southern Michigan, with
one great purpose in his mind
the planting of apple-trees. John
Chapman was his real name.
He was born on his fathers
farm near Springfield, Massachu-
sets, in apple blossom time, May
II, 1853. He was a great lover of
woods. fields, birds and animals.
When he was about twenty years
old, he went West with his
brother, Nathaniel, stopping on his
journey at the home of his uncle
at clean, New York, and there the
idea came to him of being IAN
apple missionary" He started with
seeds gathered from the cider
mills in that region.
From that time on, he travelled
for forty years, constantly plant
ing nurseries wherever he found
the soil was right and the water
plentiful. 1t is said that, when the
toll of the day vas over, the
children, who loved him, would
gather round to hear him play his
violin. He carried this with him
over one shoulder, and his bag of
seeds over the other.

the Indian wars, Johnny had a

SOCIALISM IN BRITAIN

1t has often been stated that the appetite
Of the socialists is Unsuitable. Once they
make inroads on a nations industries. it
is simply a matter Of time until the whole
economy comes under socialistic attack.
That is being wildly demonstrated in
England. The Labor government began
with specialization Of the British coal in
dustry. Production has moi been increas-
ed, costs have moi been lowered, and the
miners are as dissatisfied as ever. II is
now preparing 10 take another long step
by completely s~ocializing Briiain's power
and light industry though some Of the
best experts are extremely pessimistic as
TO the governments ability to better ser
vice or do anything except add billions
more to the country's public debt. And.
10 top it all off, it is planning TO extend
vast and completely dictatorial govern
mental powers over farming, farm land.
and the farmers themselves.
The farm bill is written in optimistic
terms. and heavily stresses such alleged
benefits as guaranteed prices and assured
markets for agriculture. But it has teeth
in it-sharp teeth. For instance, the gov
eminent reserves the right, under the
terms of the bill, to dispossess farmers
by compulsory purchase Of their land if
they fail 10 comply with government d.
receives and advice given by government
agencies. In other words, the bill is written
on the familiar totalitarian principle Of
DO what we tell You-or else"
There is a lesson here for all free ma
tions-no economy can be part socialist
and part free enterprise.

should pass through Gotham
meadow. Now, it was popularity
thought that any land over which
the king passed became ever after
a public road; SO the men of
Gotham took steps to prevent King
John from crossing that way.
The king, angered by their pro-
ceedings, sent his officers to con
duct an inquiry in the village.
When the officers arrived, they
found some of the men shouting

WASHINcToN'S BIRTHDAY NEXT

Birthdays of two Of Americas three
great men born in February have passed.
Edison and Lincoln have been the sub
jects Of we'll deserved enconium through
out the land.
Washington, whose birthday is cele-
brated on February q, although it is not
established that he drew his first breath
on that day, is still to be observed.
II is appropriate that Americans pay
reverent tribute to this man who guided
the carving Of a nation out Of the wilder
ness; whose greatest attribute, despite his
personal errors, was never-failing level
headedness.
During the Revolution and the years
following that war, when the colonies
were being transformed into states and
moulded tediouslY into a country, there
was such a diversity Of opinions, such
factional belligerency, so many hot heads
and violent firebrands, it is seriously to
be doubled if the thing that had been won
after seven years Of war-libertY-could
have found firm foundations for continued
existence had it not been that Washing
ion possessed this rare power Of keeping
his head in all crises, on all issues.
Rupert Hughes and others among Wash
ington's later biographers did the nation
good service when they took the bunk out
Of many Washington traditions and
showed him to have been a normal man
prone TO err like the rest Of us. but still
a great man, courageous, determined.
capable Of splendid exploits in war and
peace, a leader Of rare attainments. II
was these historians who helped dethrone
a tin god, so 10 speak, and raise instead
a true hero.
There used TO be a marble stature Of
Washington in the plaza at the east front
of the Capitol. On three sides of the base
were these words: First in War, First
in Peace, First in the Hearts Of his Country
men. Gradually the capital citY's climatic
eccentricities-sudden freezes kicking the
heels Of all but intolerable heat-opened
cracks in the stature, and it was removed
and stored in the basement Of one Of the
government buildings Whereabouts, 10 pre-
vent its disiniegration. But the legend.
the three "%firsts" that distinguished Wash
ington's career, were unchanged. They
we'll deserve 10 be engraved imperishablY
in the hearts Of his countrYmen.
