Three other seminary cou-
pies live in the same block.
They all, according to Mrs.
Sweet, have a hard time max
ing ends meet, but are hav-
ing the time of their lives,
nevertheless.
Under the CT bill Mr..
Sweet gets tuition and books
free and $120 a month living
allowance. He earns $40 by
serving as rector's assistant
at an Arlington church each
Sunday. He also receives a
small monthly subsidy from
a church organization to as
sist students. Mrs. Sweet
swells the exchequer with $8
for working one day a week
at the Alexandria Hospital as
a nurse. Her husband or one
of the neighbors looks after
the baby.

the men studying for the
ministry could afford to take
wives and rear children. In
fact, marriage during the
course was forbidden. Since
the war that ban has been
modified and the CT bill has
eased the economic pressure.
AS a result a new social note
has been injected into the
student life at many theo-
logical schools. For example,
at the Virginia seminary,
about half of the $50 STU
dents are married and many
of them have children. In
doctrination courses are given
for wives.
Typical of these couples are
the Sweets, who live at 1904
Martha Gusts drive, Parkfair-
fax, In Arlington. They have
a 9-month-old baby Cynthia.

sylvania about a year and a
half ago. He is 26, graduate

Their steady outgo is $l93
a month, including rent for
an unfurnished one-bedroom
apartment. They furnished
the apartment by watching
for bargains advertised on the
bulletin board of the COM
munity drugstore. They also
inherited a baby crib and a
bookcase from neighbors.
There's a wonderful COM
munity spirit here" Mrs.
Sweet observes. I'm going to
hate to leave"
Some of the seminarianS
supplement their income by
outside jobs. Some work in
offices or department stores
during vacations. Some are
bookkeepers, some tutors. Mr..
Sweet, for example, worked in
a filling station evenings and
week ends, and coached wres-
Ting at Episcopal High
School. Last summer he, as
do other seminarians, became
a sort of modern day circuit
rider, driving about 200 miles
each Sunday to preach in a
different church. He aver
aged about $40 a sermon.

Monday. The training for
seminary wives consists of a
meeting each Wednesday
night and on the first Mon
day of each month to hear
lectures on the duties and re-
sponsibilities of ministers

In Mrs. Sweets memory Is
the admonition never to crit
icize hubby's sermon until
Tuesday. On Sunday he is
still too wrought up, and Mon
day is his day off.
When Mr.. Sweet finally gets
his seminary certificate or de-
gree he will then take the
canonical examination for or
dination. He expects, once he
is ordained, to get a parish in
the diocese of Bethlehem, Pa.
He will thus fulfill an ambi-

With a delicacy that bellies the

Evening star., 1950-03-23

1t is the tale of group OF
island people off the coast of
Scotland and how they solved the
catastrophe problem of whiskey
famine, worse than Hitler's
bombs" 1t has been made with
a keen satirical sense of how
hilarious human beings are when
they set their hearts upon con-
uuering malevolent fate, than
which none could be more malev-
olent than running out of Whiskey
in the middle of a war.
Alexander Mackendrick, Comp
ton Mackenzie and Angus Mac
phail have showered upon it an
ingenuity worthy of such a rare
and wonderful joke. If they have
not been above some irreverent
reflections upon the dignity of
man, and they most certainly
have not, they have proved that
under certain circumstances he is
far more engaging without it.
The whisky problem with which
they deal can no more offend the
most squeamish than it can fail
to delight the mass OF movie
eoers.
1t ends up as the freshest, fair
est screen comedy any one has
seen in seasons.
To-day, the Hebrides island
which is the theme OF the MIN,
is populated with as attractive a
population as can be found any
where in the world. Their charm,
however, lies in their spirit rathar
than in appearance. They are
poor and rough-hewn OF face and
figure but in the great crisis OF
their lives, they rise with an r.
resistible nobility to the occasion.
The crisis arises one night when
the last drop of whiskey runs out
of the last tap in To-day.
The island along with the rest
of the Motherland is at war with
Germany. Yet, with the excep-
ton of one Toddayite, no one has
any doubt as to which represents
the supreme emergency. This ex-
ception is the stuffy Captain OF
the home guard. He wants to
continue with the war while every
other man. woman and child IN
the community fixes his full
energies upon the whisky
dilemma.
AS Mackenzie's fable goes, these
are a religious people with 1eel-
ing that Providence is more likely
to help them in the whisky dilem-
ma than in the war. This COM
munity faith is rewarded when q
British cargo ship is wrecked OH
shore one night and the glad news
seeps ashore that the reef-bound
craft is loaded with whisky.
The problem is to get to the
ship before she can sink with the
saving elixir and the Toddayltes
work out a master plan to which
every human on the island, ex-
cept the captain, is committed.
Here, Providence which has
looked so benevolent in wrecking
the ship, suddenly turns a wry
face upon the suffering islanders.
1t is just as they are about to
launch the whisky rescue boats
that the town clock strikes the
midnight Sabbath. This is the
one thing that comes before whisky
in To-day and for "a hours the
islanders must wait, watch and
pray while the ship teeters on
the reef.
What answer they get to their
prayers is something that Tight
Little Island" reveals best in it's
own delightful way. No reviewer
in his right mind would intrude
upon it.
The hilarious, ironic humor of
the picture directed by Macken-
drick is that which flows from the
character. Its rate of flow is one
that would delight the heart OF an
