compass but a vision, amid the dis

1t took only that cold drizzling
rain the first of the week to get
some of the oldsters recalling that
fateful May in 1883 with a 14-inch
snowfall which fell on the 22nd. 1t
was preceded by rain turning to
snow as the mercury dropped, and to
make matters worse there was a
killing early frost on September 8.
Spring had been unusually early
that year, corn was up and trees in
full foliage. So heavy was the
snowfall that limbs of trees broke
down and some of the young folks
celebrated by taking a bohsled ride
with apple trees in full bloom.
That oldtime picture in the Bluff

The picture was turned over to us
by Mrs. Roy Kohn of st. Louis, the
former Lulu Steiner, who was here
last week to attend the fiftieth an
niversary of her high school gradual

Lambert's place was one of Bluff

on a site now occupied by part of
the Basinger furniture store.
Standing in front of the store

'HeIIfire' for Sure Tonight
 Al Capitol

Five thousand dollars would just about cover the cost of a church in the hellbent West-an amount that happens to be the price on the head of lady bandit Doll Brown.
 Into this intriguing situation rides William Elliott in one of the finest action pictures to come out of Holly wood in many a season-the Elliott McGowan Trucolor film "Hellfire, filmed at Republic, which comes to- night to the Capitol Theatre.
 As the story opens, an itinerant minister of the gospel. Brother Jo- seph, saves the life of card sharp Feb Smith, played by Elliott, in a barroom brawl, and loses his own in doing so. Feb makes a death-bed agreement with the preacher to carry out his desire to have church built-not in the way of violence and cheating. but rather, according to the precepts laid down in the Bible.
 Men laugh at Feb as they had at Joseph in his appeals for money to carry on the good work. Then, cir constance brings him into the orbit of the notorious lady bandit, Doll Brown, who has price of $5,o00 on her head.
 The way Feb figures it, he could turn her in, collect the reward, and build the church. But that isn't the way he's supposed to do it, accord ing to his new set of rules. He must touch her heart, and convince her to give herself up. This touches off a conflict which is strikingly unique. and full of heart appeal.

Exploring the Child's World, by
Helen Parkhurst. (Appleton-C Gen.
tury-C Crofts, Inc, $500
AS experts have long declared,
no amount of wishful thinking
will tell parents what children
really think and feel.
To find this out, Miss Helen
Parkhurst, originator of the famed
Dalton Plan in education. made
10000 miles of wire recordings of
unrehearsed interviews with them
about their problems.
This route to the child's world
proved so effective that The Amer
ican Broadcasting Company in
vited her to broadcast further ur-
rehearsed interviews on q coast
to-coast program. In the years
1947-l949 she conducted a
weekly radio program. and for
eight months. presented the pro-
gram on television. Over 5000
children of all backgrounds were
interviewed on her program,
Child's World. and four awards,
including the Radio Television
Critics Circle Award, were pre-
sented to it. The programs, Miss
Parkhurst believes, inaugurated a
new and vital science of child
hood.
Incredible though it may seem
to some adults, the average young
child has untutored insight and
pure wisdom that enables him,
when given a chance, to penetrate
situations which at times baftle
his elders" Miss Parkhurst ex-
plains. "He knows instinctively
when he is understood and guided
wisely. And at all times he op-
crates within the boundaries of
his own experience. Therefore any
demands we make on him should
be based on it."
When adults fail to understand
him, he turns away not only from
those who have failed him but
from all adults, Miss Parkhurst
adds, and builds for himself
world apart in which he fire.
quently takes refuge. This she
calls the child's world.
But there are some who are
welcomed there she learned.
"And from f1rsthand experience I
know that, on his own ground,
the child will reveal himself to
the grownup who can be regarded
as a friendly stranger, as he did
to me. To enter the child'S
world you will have to renounce
punishment, refrain from bribing,

For some strange reason which
II do not understand. the woman
with very long neck seems to
have q fatal attraction for the

who should wear high collars. She
can afford. with happy results. the

Price ceilings for Santa Claus
are stirring up a fuss here these
warm June days.
While Santa takes it easy at
the North Pole. his agents, the
toy manufacturers, are arguing
hotly with the Office of Price Sta
bilization.
Hanging in the balance is the
cost of skates for Tim and doll
for Mary next Yuletide.
OPS told about 1t in a press
release yesterday:
Up to now. toys have been under
the general freeze, their prices
fixed at last January's levels. OPS
says that effective July 2. they
must be priced by different
system. This will fix ceiling
prices at about nid-1950 levels
plus cost increases since then.
Santa and his agents prefer
the freeze. Oddly enough. they
protest that their ceiling prices
actually would be forced up by
the new system. Moreover, they
say they're already shipped half
their toys for next Christmas, and

lit told the toymakers that some
Iof their number disregarded Presi-
dent Truman's request to keep
prices down prior to last January,
and that their price boosting gave
them a tremendous advantage"
over competitions when the freeze
went on. The new system will
iron out such inequities, forcing
some big manufacturers to reduce
prices, OPS contended.
The agency declared it would
stand firm.
So if Santa wants to stay under
lthe freeze he'd better hop down
from the North Pole and apply
some heat.
