 Shrewedly directed by Charles Lamont, The Runaround" features excellent character portrayals by Frederick Crawford, Frank Me- Hugh, and George Cleveland.

TOKYO ROSE" S FAST ACTON BILL
 AT 10TH CENTURY

In thrilling action movie which opened last night at the 20th Cen tury Theatre, film-goers saw the exciting story of the mystery wo- man whose insidious propaganda out of Tokyo menaced the safety of American boys. The picture is called, appropriately enough, To kyo Rose" and is one of the most fantastic tales of World War II.
 The daring underground which helped expose Tokyo Rose a Japanese agent who tried to un- dermine the morale of the Tanks in the Pacific, is, in the film, led by an American interned in a Nip prison camp. Byron Barr, a com- parative newcomer to the screen, makes the most of a "derring- do role. He is ably assisted by Osa Massen, Don Douglas and Richard Loo, who is excellent as the arro- gant, cruel Colonel Suzuki.
 The picture shows the daring ex- ploits of a group of Americans captured by the Japanese, how they outwit their enemies and eventually track down Tokyo Rose at her hide-out in the Jap broad casting station.

 The mailboat Aurora had to make special stop here Tuesday to unload cargo of freight for the Chase's cattle ranch. It was too rough to stay tied up at the dock long enough to unload on the regular trip. Besides the fact that one of the bints of the approach is of no use as support and it is hazardous even to take heavily loaded wheel barrow across, now the outer end of the dock is a menace to boats because the fend- CT piling and the caps are eaten away and are balanced in space. It seems, in the opinion of this re- porter, too bad, that with this size of airport and the dock facilities needed here, that nothing is done

tiles that prove it to be such a
city.
The people are always kind
and friendly to you. They
smile and say hello whether
they know you or not. In a big
city you see persons once and
then you never see them again
but in small city you know
the people you see. The neigh
bors are friendly and kind al
ways. You often need help
with something around the
house or yard and you won't
even have to ask them. They'll
be right there to help you.
The natural surroundings
help in making a city friendly.
The woodlands and ravines
and the many refreshing wild
flowers add pleasure and en-
joyment to gay picnickers. The
birds make their haven in
these woodlands and we enjoy
their shrill songs. So we see
nature has been kind to us in
many ways.
Zion has culture and musi-
cal talent. One of the outstand

pitality they received from us.

We have the beautiful Lake

The streets are broad and very

so we are between two large

The churches cooperate to-
gether now too. You are free
to whatever religion you pre-
fer and other churches do not
interfere with your business
unless they are asked.
Zion has many civic activi-
ties in which the people coop
crate and partake in. One of
these is the Chamber of Com

that gives us the opportunities
to enter contests and gives us
a chance to get acquainted
with the higher society.
These are some of the fact

W. K. Rhodes, Jr., chairman of

the depleted funds of the Founda-

One-half of the proceeds of the
drive in this county will remain
here for use in the fight against in
fantile paralysis, Rhodes stated.
The other half of the funds collected
here will be sent to the National
Foundation. The National Founda-
ton is run on a cooperative basis,
Rhodes said, sending money from
its funds to any area in the coun-
try where the dreaded disease
strikes.
At the same time, Rhodes stated
that IS, 900 letters containing blank

to make contributing easier and to
further assure that the New Han

SKI PARTY SEEKS
MISSING STUDENTS
Trio Lose Way During
Snowstorm Which Covers
Mount Spokane

SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. 12-P)-
A ski party Sunday continued a
search for three Gonzaga univer-
sity students missing since Satur-
day afternoon in a snowstorm on
Mount Spokane.
F. j. Dunton, superintendent OF
the Mount Spokane State park, said
that searchers still are seeking
Richard Powell, Ed Flaherty and
Ordeen Burtenshaw, all of Spo-
kane, who apparently spent the
night in freezing temperature on
the ravine-dotted mountain.
Dunton related that Henry Ros-
coe Cheering and Doug Davis, two
other members of the student ski
ing party. told him the missing
trio started descending the fog
shrouded mountains toward the
groups car Saturday at 2 pm.
Gehring and Davis returned to the
car by another route and waited
an hour before going back to in
vestigate. Dunton said when they
failed to find their companions
they returned to the ski lodge where
a search party was organized. The
searchers were forced to turn back
at II pm. because of a blizzard
which swept owe the mountains.
The area is heavily wooded in
some sections, with numerous open,
logged-off ridges and many
..trickY" ravines. Qunton said.
