has already come to pass, in the
short space of two years.
This current project Of Golden
Ayers day is the biggest entera
prise undertaken so far. Furch
and his wife are trustees of the
association. Mrs. Ruth Waca of
St Petersburg is president.
Furch began his career a the
sanitorium business in Chicago,
some years ago. He was part
owner of a private hospital in
Chicago when, in 1949, he bought
a rest home in Fort Lauderdale.
Florida, of course. is a paradise
for elderly retired people. be-
cause of its benign climate. And
there are a great many rest
homes in the state,
Over the years, Furch has be-
come increasingly alarmed at tile
extent to which old people are
neglected by the younger mem
bers of their families. 0ldsters
are. he says. too often parked in
rest homes and more or less for
gotten.
iii addition, Furch decided that
many homes themselves lacked
facilities for recreation and d.
version and creative things for
the old people to do. It was with
these things in mind that he or
panized the association.
And the idea of the Golden
Ayers Day is the same-the idea
of drawing national attention %
the needs of Americas increasing
number of elderly people. This
group is getting larger in pro-
portion to the rest of the popula-
ton each year, as a result of adj
vances in science and medicine.

FAR-FLUNG U. S. AIR BASES no cover TIE EARTH

1t officially confirmed that the u S. Air Force
has developed five permanent air bases in the North A
territory of French Morocco in addition to perma
headquarters for the Strategic Air Commands Fifth
Air Division
Undoubtedly, similar bases are being developed in
other The present plans of the Air Force recently
placed before Congress- provide for expanding the base
structure" from 232 installations 3O9 major nsalla
tons 1t is understood that number of these bases will be
overseas
The creation and maintenance of air bases throughout
the world represents part of the strategy of this country
in world that is threatened by Communist aggression
Adequately developed arpors and necessary installations
to the bombers and fighters of the Air Force what the
naval base used to be to surface ships
While one be certain, without being on the in
side the extensive program of base construction indicates
less reliance upon the ongrange bomber which, was re-
ported could leave the United States and bomb any place
IN Russia and return to its base Presumably cheaper
to have farung series of bases than rely exclusively
upon super-distance bomber.
In the present condition of world affairs creation
Of the bases is probably necessity We should recognize
however, that they constitute safeguard the peace of
the world long the policy of the United States and its
Western allies based upon program of justice for the
world Certainly our European allies regard them in this
hight or they would not consent to their establishment
One easily conclude however, that the Russians
view their creation with ALARM fearing their effective ac
lion against Russian forces moving for aggression
so possible that the Russians may in response Com
munist propaganda view them threat their security
and national existence.

'pcIite Work in
 Paris Revealed, CapitoI's Bill

A breath-t taking story of police work in Paris, filmed in the French capital and with an all-star Ameri- can and continental cast. comes to the screen as '"The Man on the Eiffel Tower" photographed in Ansco Color. This feature comes to the Capitol Theatre tonight.
 Produced by Irving Allen and Franchot Tone, and distributed by RKO Radio, the picture presents Charles Laughton as famous Pa risian detective who is certain of a murderer's identity but has no evidence he can bring into court. So he inaugurates war of nerves, skillfully planned to shake the crim- inal's sense of security. And this campaign. plus the romantic troubles of a rich young American whose aunt is the killers victim, comprise the unique plot of the film, which builds up to stirring cli- max on the Eiffel Tower.
 Bracketed with Laughton in the star roster are Franchot Tone as the suspect, Burgess Meredith as the latter's weak minded dupe. Robert Hutton as the American, Jean Wallace and Patricia Roc as the women in Hutton's life, and Belita as Meredith's wife.
