Reen Shining out of the house

Been slipping out of the house
lately, men Maybe you didn't in
tend to, but slippery sidewalks
caused the slipping. Over $4,000
persons die of accidental falls ev-
cry year, warns the National Con-
servation Bureau. Many of these
fatal mishaps occur on ice-coated
walks and porches. Play safe -
use sand or ashes when sleet and
ice endanger lives.

About Your Vote

The right and privilege OF pub
lie expression at the polls is so I'M
portant in our democratic system
that il becomes the duty Of every
eligible citizen of the State, Earl
Coe, Secretary Of State, empha-
sized this week. Coe made this
statement in connection with his
program to bring the Importance
Of voters registration to the at
tention of the public.
"The opportunity to express
your opinions by means of the
ballot box is, of course, the most
benefit to be derived from regis
tration," he said, however, there
are other very important benefits
which the average person may
not realize"
The registration record, for ex-
ample, establishes an authentic
source from which to verify the
fact that a person is a citizen Of
the State of Washington. This
proof of citizenship may prove
very valuable in receiving various
benefits, Coe pointed out. Older
people who wish to apply for old
age assistance can readily estab-
lish residence requirements with
a certificate of their registration,
while younger people entitled to
the lower tuition fees at state

By Hal Clark

It's getting near the time o.
year when the leaders of our ma.
ton must decide whether they're
going to run FROM or FOR pub.
lie office.
. os..-@
It's a sort of toss-up. Some.
times the rewards Of running
from public duty must seem to
outweigh the rewards of bringing
the best one has in himself to
the service of his country. At least
having kept his head below the
mud of obscurity, the candidate
need not endure the malicious
comment of the crude and ignor.
ant.
Lest you think I'm being un.
duly sharp tongued about this,
let me hasten to assure you that
I have offended as greatly as any
on this score. I've set myself up
to criticize men much finer and
ADLER than myself. We all do that
at times. And maybe that's the
true strength of democracy.
= -
In conversations with others,
I've been trying to figure out
who - at this moment - appear
most logical as the two men, who
will stand this fall for the office
of President of the United States
of America.
4
On the Republican ticket, Taft,
Dewey, Vandenburg and Stassen
seem logical contenders. I would
say Taft outbalances Dewey at
the moment, with Vandenburg
in the compromise category and
Stassen gaining ground rapidly.
The Democrats will find it most
difficult to transfer their political
fortunes to candidate other than
President Truman with any
chance of success.
So
I could easily cut my stock of
personal linen in half by losing
my shirt on the election. But I
have already placed one small
wager.
My bet is with that rootin',
tootin' Stassen advocate, Don
Knowles. My little fling with for
tune looked pretty good to me
until this evening, whenthe ire
pressible and singular Knowles
reported his telephone converse
ton of last week with Candidate
StasSen.
. .
Knowles began his remotely in
innate aquaintanceship with the
youthful COP challenger last
September, when (acting on i'm
pulse and the knowledge that he
was in Pendleton he called to
invite Stassen to the Grape Fes-
tival.
"This," said my friend Knowles,
els Don Knowles in Kennewicl."
Knowing that Stassen is, if any,
thing, more familiar with Adams
off OK, I asked my fayorite ex.
trovert to reeval his reply. ooh
The just said: Hello, Knowles.
How are your" Knowles informed
me.
From there on, I gather, the
conversation proceeded on a very
cozy plane between these two
men who had never seen nor
known each other. Quite a man,
this Stassen!
Last week, Knowles, still grass
rootin' for Stassen, called the COP
-ster up in Seattle. Cost him $1.9O,
he said. Il just threw that in as
a small detail to assure you of
the accuracy of my reporting)
?
Hello" said Knowles, "This
is Don Knowles in Kennewick.
Do you remember me?"
Sure" said Stassen promptly,
You're the man who called me
up to invite me to the Kennewick
Grape Festival"
You know, maybe that guys
not such a dark horse after all.
But anyway / don't intend to
pay up until the Republicans wise

Politics No Place
For actors, Says
Lillian Gisb
Bv Frances Kuhn

The belief that actors should not
take an active role in politics be
cause politicians are always bound
to offend someone" was expressed
yesterday by Lillian Gish. "As en-
tertainers, it Is our job to please
everyone" she declared.
While actors should avoid po-
litical controversy, they should exer-
else their rights as citizens by
voting, Miss Gish added.
Asked her opinion regarding
Communist infiltration in the
movies" the actress said. 'You. the
audience. are the people they make
movies for. If you don't like it.,
stay away. They will soon change
their tune"
Miss Gish was interviewed at a
luncheon meeting of the Women's
National Press Club, held at the
Statler Hotel, substituting for Helen
Hayes who was originally scheduled
to speak. The program, which was
broadcast, was in the form of a
general question period.
With the topics turning to her
work in the theater, Miss Gish
said the theater is more satisfying
to the actor than the movies "be-
cause you never see yourself" I'm
the films" she said, you find only
two minutes Of satisfaction in any
thing you do" Her favorite per-
formance, she added, was probably
her role of Ophelia in Hamlet"
because II could listen to John
Gielgud's Hamlet eight times a
week."
The speaker said that movies lost
great deal of their power when
sound was added Il never felt that
the movies should have married
words" she declared, They should
have married music" Words have
slowed down motion pictures and
stories aren't told as well when
words must be considered as they
are when the audience Is given a
freer range of imagination, she ex-
planned.
In answer to other questions, the
petit actress recommended the SUD-
sidization of theaters in every city
and said that the role of little the
aters and college drama groups Is
of tremendous importance to the
future of the stage.
Miss Gish recalled the early days
of the movies in which endless re-
hearsals were held SO that the final
filming would not cause costly film
waste. I'VE didn't have enough
footage to waste time walking in
and out of scenes. That's why we
were always seen hopping in and
out of them and that's why we
always looked as If we had st.
Vitus' dance"
Miss Gish was interviewed by
Ruth Cowan, president of the club.
