MAIDS NIGHT OUT
sy DOT"
THE BIG TREES"
at the Strand Theatre.

/ Kirke Douglas has been a de-
tectlve, an ace reporter, cham
| pion prize fighter and lot of
other tough characters in his
roles, all with huge success not
only because of his ability to
act, but because the stories were
prime. In The Big Trees" he is
cast as lumberman who is I'M
ScrupulouS and just as tough as
his lumbejacks. But somehow,
this film doesn't have the timber
of the other parts les played,
and the old time serial thrills in
it so against the grain mot of
the wood). When he manages to
brake a cabooSe on a runaway
train in which his light of love
is trapped, the audience reaction
is All, Shucks. Douglas is
meant for better character parts
and his acting in this one is
wasted. just like the Stumps of
the lumber industry, it's dead
wood.
The time is 1900, costumes to
match. The setting, in full color,
is the big redwood forests of the
Northwest when land claiming
was still rampant. Douglas is
thanked by a gang of men who
are dissatisfied with their Let as
woodcutters. He promises them a
fortune if they invade the coun-
try of the big trees. They stride
in like a bunch of Paul Bunyans
but are confronted with protests
of earlier settlers of a religious
sect whose theme is "Woodman,
Spare That Tree" After the
lumberjackS file claim, the post
office burns down, destroying
the written claims through
the efforts of the daughter of
the religious groups leader. The
leader himself is killed when a
felled tree crashes down on the
cabin which he foolishly refuses
to leave. Douglas risks his life
trying to save the girls father
thereby winning at least
her attention. After that he
swings over to the side OF the
tree conservationists and ro-
nance is just around the next
big trunk. Eve Miller is the
bonneted, long skirted woodland
blossom.
Now and then. the dialogue
gets in a good chop, but d lot of
il is composed OF old saws.
There's one line, delivered by
Douglas with cutting effect. How
it missed the censor's axe is a
mystery and the movie
fans howl with glee.

BALLOTS TO BE

Continued From Page One)
Pinder will not wait until Wed.
nesday morning to canvass the
vote.
Even one member of the three
man Board is sufficient together
with clerks to canvass the vote
Pinder said.
The three canvassers and
clerks, plus the handwriting
expert dermaa Bennett. will
meet in the courtroom of the
County Courthouse the mo-
ment the machine votes are
brought in from Tavernier, Is
lamorada. and Marathon.
Today, Assistant Custodian OF
Machines, Alfred Jones has in
stalled the voting machines in all
the precinct polling places. Keys
to the polls will be distributed
by 6:l5, am. tomorrow morning
so that clerks and inspectors can
open up and prepare for their
II hours of poll duty.
Deputy sheriffS are required
by Florida law to be stationed
at each polling place to keep or
der. Throughout Florida some
1900 have been assigned for this
task, according to AP, of which
II are on the Keys and Key
West.
Deputies, clerks and inspectors
must enforce the law which says
that no one may hand out litera-
ture within 100 yards of polling
place. But no deputy or police
officer may step inside the poll
except when he casts his own
vote, unless he is called in by
a majority of the precinct cleo
ton inspectors.
Every candidate may certify
a watcher to stay in the polling
place and see that the election is
conducted honestly. But no
watcher may step within Is feet
of a voting booth or the election
officials table.
Every election official must
call out the name of the person
entering a booth in tone loud
enough for the watchers to hear
it. That gives them a chance to
check registration lists and send
out for struggling supporters OF
their men before the polls close.
Tomorrow in addition 10 the
clerks, inspectors and regular
watchers. Bennett the hand
writing expert. will make the
circuit of the IA polls to check
any alleged handwriting dis
crepancY.
Nobody can enter voting
booth with voter, unless he is
blind, illiterate or has lost the
use of his hands. Then he may
ask a clerk to mark his ballot for
him.
All other voting must be Sc
cret, even if the voter himself
does not insist.
And says the AP, one more
thing - just one vote to a voter.

CATS.
mrs. L. L., Washington

mrs. L. L., Washington
Recently there nave prcn
some inquiries and answers
concerning cats and their
care-the comments appearing
in your column. May l add a
few words at this time? First, let
me say cats are very clean--
they not only clean themselves
but they clean each other. They
have a lot of intelligence and
dignity and they make delight
full pets.
Cats are really appreciative
of all the favors you bestow on
them. They ask so little and
yet give so much in return.
They are entitled to nice food
and they eat quite a variety.
They are entitled to clean,
warm acknowledgement as
you and I.
Cats develop all sorts of cute
little tricks; they are an end
less source of amusement, and
you will be we'll repaid for all
the care and comfort you give
them. Like any animal they
need some human supervision
and attention, and they also
need companionship of their
own kind, otherwise they are
apt to stray, get lost or be
stolen.
I cut this out of a magazine
I saw recently: Il ain the cat;
serve me, love me. play with me,
enjoy me, live with me-and I
repay" ! have found this to be
true from years of experience
with cats. Unlike humans they
do not lie to you or lie about
you and they don't steal and try
to defraud you. I recommend
cats for sweet, clean, affec.
tionate, amusing companions.
POEM WANTED?

Perhaps I am old and peculiar,
Not like other people, we'll say;
Perhaps / do things sort Of funny
In sort OF a different way
There are several verses and
it ends something like the fol-
lowing:
-. Some days when the jinx has the call:
But l so right along doing business;
I'm lust what l am-thats all.
1t is an old poem and I believe
it is called I'm Just What I Am, "

DOORBELL?
STRONG SPRING?

mrs. J. r. r., PierSO7l, I0tOdJ
I am wondering if any of you
faithful readers can tell me where
I might locate two items I am
most desirous of obtaining. First,
an old-faShioned doorbell-the
kind that has a key to turn on
the outside and on the inside
there is a bell. 1t is in a half
ball that is nickel usually.
The other item is a strong
spring that came out about 10
years ago to put on a telephone
cord to keep it from twisting and
tangling. It was also metal.

I, too, have been watching for

lem. Although we aren't pes
tered with them in the amount
you describe, I can understand
how helpless you feel. These
seem to be around plumbing
and radiators. BY putting 10c
ant traps from drugstores
around, most of them have dis
appeared. They supposedly carry
the poison back to the nest and
destroy it.
We have been told they will
not cross creosote so we are
about to paint all pipes in the
basement with creosote in an
effort to stop their entry. hope
this will help you some.

feels about TV as do. We do
not have set simply because
we have had to watch it in
friends homes whom we went
to visit and have been bored
until we lost interest in owning
one.
Unless invited to watch a spe-
ciflc program I prefer to visit
but have resorted to short visits
by telephone and feel like more
is accomplished that way than
competing with TV tor an eve

Coroner Sets Autopsy
For Man Who Killed
Himself With Knife

An autopsy was scheduled to-
day in the death of William AL
bert Hines. %. who. police say,
fatally stabbed himself yesterday
at 4442 Reservoir road NV.
Coroner A. Magruder MacDon-
aid said he scheduled the autopsy
because of cuts on the head in
addition to several stab wounds
in the chest.
The head injuries were suffered
when Mr.. Hines wife Dorothy
struggled with the man after he
seized two knives from the kitch-
en- table, DR. Macdonald said.
Sergt. Emmett Waters of the
homicide squad said Mrs. Hines
took one knife away, but failed to
get possession of the second, a
3-inch pairing knife. Mr.. Hines
mother-in-law. Mrs. Beatrice
Schram. joined in the struggle
to restrain him and was bitten
on the hand.
Mr.. Hines had been detected
because of fear he could not hold
a job and because he failed to
pass an armed services physical
examination, Sergt. Waters said.
Since returning recently from
Florida Mr.. and Mrs. Hines had
lived with her parents.
