HIGHLIGHTING
NEW YORK
BY Glen wilkinson

"Roseanna Mccoy" opened at
the Paramount this week. The
picture is based on the feuding
between the Hatfields and the
McCoys. Action really, begins
when Roseanna Mccoy crosses
the river with a Hatfield. The
river is the dividing line be-
tween the two feuding families.
Zanesville's Richard Basehart
gives a superb performance in
.Roseanna Mccoy. He is fast
becoming one of the best actors
in Hollywood.
Connie Boswell is appearing at
the Paramount. Her best num-
bers were you're Breaking My
Heart, Martha, THAT Lucky
Old Sun" and Jealous Heart.
New York was saddened this
week by the death OF marx war
now. Mr.. Warnow's orchestra
has played on the Lucky Strike
Hit Parade for the past several
years.
Ezio Pima was the guest of
the Telephone Hour this week.
This is the third time Mr. Pima
has been guest on this program
since he scored so successfully
in South Pacific. The best
number on the program was of
course Mr.. PIMA singing the
beautiful "Some Enchanted Eve
ming" from South Pacific.
South Pacific" is still the big
gest hit on Broadway. Tickets
are as difficult to get now as
they were when the musical op-
ened in thesspring.

TIE: YEARS

For instance, when Caesar got
stuck with Pompilius' system the
calendar and the solar equinoXes
were months apart. Pope Gregory
went to work on Caesars calendar
in 1882 when it was tagging ten
days behind the sun.
To Pope Gregory we owe the leap
year. In presenting his calendar
to the world, the Pope specified that
the calendar play leap-frog. As re-
suit, the year 1882 holds all records
for losing birthdays. In order to
make up the ten days the calendar
was behind the sun, the days be-
tween October and October Is
were simply skipped-lost forever.
During the evolution of our cal
endar some strange things have
been tried. Once year was only
ten months long, once March was
the first month, again January was
the first month, and once February
was the last.
Scholars still wreStle with the
problem of the years. Even today

Illuminated Christmas Tree on Ldtun

A N ILLUMINATED tree - front

The lighted tree or shrub not only
makes the home look more beauti-

Christmas spirit,
There is, of course, right and a
wrong way to do this, as there is in
doing everything else. The ordinary
indoor Christmas tree lighting sets
are not apt to prove very satisfae-
tory, although often they serve the
purpose. But much more often their
exposure to the elements spells their
doom. For one thing the lamps are
quite small, and also because the
cord or wire is not properly pro-
tected by rubber or other safety in
sulation that will aid it in Withstand
ing~the uncertain weather of Christ
mas week.
In buying such an Illuminating set
it is, therefore, necessary to tell the
electrician from whom you are pur-
chasing it for what purpose it is in
tended, and ask hiT.S to suggest the
best way to connect II.
If it is to be plugged in on your
house lighting circuit, make certain
that the total wattage of the set does
not pull the full capacity of the cir

The man who inherited the re-
sultant confusion of Pompilius
errors was very busy person by
the name of Julius Caesar. Caesar
called all the best minds of his
empire into conference and soon the
world was given another calendar.
1t wasn't much good, either. 1t only
lasted fifteen hundred years or so.
Then Pope Gregory XIII tried to
straighten out the mistakes in
Caesars calendar. The result was
the Gregorian calendar which we
use today.
However, there's trouble ahead.

W0nen's Clubs
Girls Club Still Strives to Improve Its
RecreotionuI Facilities for Teen-Aqers
By Ruth Deon

Undaunted by having to seek
new quarters after losing its
headquarters two years ago, the
Georgetown Girls Club is still
striving to enlarge its facilities
for 'teen-age girls.
The club, which is the closest
counterpart in Washington to the
Boys Club, is now part of George
town House, a Community Chest

interest"
There is dancing for members
of the club, however. but as the
guests of the Georgetown Branch
of the Boys Club of Washington.

ground and in the winter at the
Boys Club Georgetown Branch.
The club, which now occupies a
room at Georgetown House, shares
facilities with nursery school
and q child day care center.
When 1t was first organized under
the sponsorship of several George
town civic groups, it was housed

on 0 street, near Wisconsin ave-
