idea that nothing could be more
breath-taking than to have his
novices in the art of flight end
up by having to scale few per-

is the one way of leaving a coun-

state Secret" is effectively
acted in every expert phase of its
script, no less so in it's comedy
passages than in the manhunt
sequences. All of it's characters
are socially adroit, civilized enough
to face any situation with just
the right quip. This gift on their
parts is something to be grateful
for and Gilliat has made wise use
of it in easing the story's tension
at the right times.
Fairbanks. Glynis Johns and
Jack Hawkins, the latter as Vos-
MAS villain, are the dominant
members of the cast. Such lesser
ones as Walter Rilla, Karel Step

to leave their marks on you also
in the new Playhouse film.

Just because the handsome red
leaves have dropped from your
Christmas poinsettia plant does
not mean it is dying and you must
discard it.
The dropping Of the leaves after
blooming just means the plant is

which should last until about the
first Of April.
With a little care, you can keep
the plant in good condition for
blooming next year.
After the leaves fall, put the

No, there Is nothing miraculous

benefits of HADACOL are
based on a proven scientific
fact: Lack of sufficient vita

leaves the door WIDE OPEN

that door and KEEP it closed.
