Maids Night Out
BY RAYMER
''VALLEY OF THE EAGLES. a

NA6I6I vt bHE GHS66S8
at San Carlos Theatre.
A Sovereign released film, this
most unusual picture was actually
filmed in Sweden, Norway and on
the Lapland tundra with herds Of
reindeer, packs of wolves and
hunting eagles. The out-of-door
shots, the handling of light effects
and the character studies of Lap
land are fascinating.
The plot of the story concerns q
Swedish scientist who has been toe
devoted to his work to devote much
time to his wife. AS a result, she
leaves with his assistant and takes
sound-into-light invention with
her. The police of the Crown are
advised and the husband joins them
in the chase. 1t leads from Stock
holm streets to a gloomy mansion
and from there out into the snow
blanketed wastes of the stark
Northland near the Artic Circle.
The actors are British, with hand
some, big Jack Warner in the lead
as the inventor. He is like larger
edition of Stewart Granger. 1t takes
an Englishman to say simply,
''My darling. ;" and get all the
implications and complications of
a romance into just that one phrase
by the intonation.
As the guilty pair with the in
vention are tracked across the
frozen land, the audience is wit
ness to a fearful stampede in which
reindeer herd decimates itself
by Swarming over a cliff to pur-
suit by wolves {. .and there's
nothing like the eerie howl of To-
bo leader and the CLINT of eyes in
the outer darkness just beyond the
camp fire to instill sheer terror
and to other exciting episodes in
cluding an avalanche. It is drama
tically photographed from the first
thin trickle of snow to the all
engulfing onrush which sweeps
within range to destruction.
Most sinister of all, are the
barbaric Laplanders in skin cos
tunes right out of medieval days,
as they stalk prey with fierce-eyed
eagles on perches. When they ad-
vance slowly through the deep
drifts the menace is emphasized
in the silent, grim faces of the
men, and their peculiar founder
ing approach.
This is unique movie fare and
guaranteed to satisfy the iaded
taste of movie goerS in search of
something different.

Magazine Editor
attends Meeting
Of Writer'S Group

The newly formed Writer'S Group
was pleasantly surprised and hon
ored by the attendance of MISS
Bobs Pinkerton, associate fiction
editor of the Woman's Home Com
panion, $40 Fifth Ave-, New YORK
City, at the meeting held Wednes'
day night at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. D. Rodin, 22o-C Poinciana'
Miss Pinkerton is vacationlne
here with her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert E. Pinkerton, who are
professional writer's. Yesterday.
Mr.. Pinkerton celebrated his 52nd
anniversary of receiving his first
check for a story. The family OF
writer's are enjoying Key West and
plan to extend the stop-over at the
Southwind Motel.
Miss Pinkerton was brought to
the meeting by Yvonne C. Baugh-
man, one~of the members OF the
group. After the short stories were
read, comment and criticism was
invited by the monitor, Margaret
ForeSman. Miss Pinkerton advised
and answered questions in open
forum. Her comments were not on
ly instructive but graciously given
and the group gave her a rouslng
vote of thanks for her time and
consideration.
All the old members submitted
short short material with a set
situation, chiefly for writing dis
cipline. The story was to begin
with the entry of a passenger or
passengers into a taxi. From there
on, the theme was up to the writer.
The situations which followed
ranged through fantasy, humor,
drama and domestic crisis, ac-
cording to the imaginative trend of
the author.
The same material is to be re-
polished and re-read in the light OF
the criticism offered, and to be
presented at the next meeting
which is set for Wednesday, No
vember 10, at the home of Miss
Dorothy Rath, 400 Sim0nt0n St., at
s pm.
New members are welcome. If
they wish to bring a short short to
the next session, they may do so.
Or, if they would like to simply at
tend for the first time without sub
mitting anything, they may.
1t has been decided that the
group will meet the first and third
Wednesdays of each month, sub
ject to change if necessary. The
meetings are informal, there are
no dues, and all you need is am
bition.
Present at the Rodin home were
the hosts; the honor guest Miss
Pinkerton; a new member, Joseph
Mazzawi, and the following: Larry
Karns, Jeanne Skewis, Jim Cobb,
Margaret ForeSman, Yvonne
Baughman, Dorothy Rath, Doro-
thy Raymer, Gloria Brindley,

Proposed Amendment To The

Preventing Increase In Number
Of Negro Voters In Mississippi

OSN) - The speech delivered in
the high school auditorium here
last Thursday night by Senator
James 0. Eastland, the senior
United States Senator for the state
of Mississippi is being widely in
terpreted as a demand to continue
the widespread denial of the right
to vote NEGRO citizens of the state
and call for the passage of
resolution to amend the states
constitution of 1890 in order to
further prescribe the qualifications
for electors of the state which it's
author has been reported as saying
is designed primarily to prevent
any further increase in the num-
Der of Negro voters in the state.
In a speech which was billed to
enlghten the citizens of the Delta
on the current national political
situation. and to explain the action
on the Mississippi delegation at
the Democratic National Conven-
ton in Chicago, largely devoted
to a discussion of the race ques-
tion," the senator is seen as hit
ting at the Negro voters of the
state, and calling for the passage
of the resolution TO amend the
states constitution of 1890 when
ne is quoted as saying: There are
two real dangers facing the South.
Number one is statehood for
Alaska and Hawaii. The reason is
that four votes those new states
would break the deadlock in, the
Senate and practically assure pas
sage of civil rights, socialized
medicine, and other such laws.
Number two is the granting of
q large vote to minority groups in
the South. That would make sena-
tors and congressman in Southern
states tend to vote for the anti
Southern bills for political reasons"

tinue the widespread denial of the
right to vote to Negro citizens of
