this be so, then Blackstone must
indeed feel flattered for, this great
magician has originated and brought
before the public more original
tricks and illusions than any con-
temporary or magician before him,
which have been copied through
out the world by other mystifiers.
But there is one great asset pos
sessed by Blackstone which no one
has been able to borrow from him.
Not one, but two his two hands.
which are acknowledged to be the
fastest pair of hands in the world
today. His ability to fool you close
up, with your deck or playing cards
is little short of uncanny, and even
when you see Blackstone perform
some of his miracles with cards.
you will say, Il don't believe it,"
But bis illusions or the smaller
miracles like his vanishing bird
cage and bird all add up to a great
evenings entertainment.
Milford Theatre patrons are for
tunate in having a show of this
magnitude within easy riding dis
tances of Kent and Sussex COun-
ties and the Eastern Shore and
adds another to the list of big name
performances to the New Milford
stage list of personal appearances
and famous personalities.
When the nicklelOdeon had its in
itial showing a couple of decades
ago, entertainment big wigs scot
fed. Just a passing fancy" they
laughed, and paid scant attention
to the development that was to COM
pletely revOlutiOnize the show bus
mess industry.
And when the talkies were first
introduced, Hollywood moguis
scoffed again, stating that the pub
lie would never accept such shen-
anigans-"never in a million years"
they chOrused, and continued their
plans for silent film production.

ceptance wherever shown, marks
the beginning of an entire new era
in motion picture entertainment.
Three dimension is Natural
Vision" that induces no eye strain.
POlOrOid glasses are worn by the
audience in viewing the picture.
and careful tests have shown that
within d matter of seconds the
viewers forget about the glasses
and proceed to enjoy the unprece-
dented novelty of true three dimen-
sion.
Bwana Devil is based on a true
story and filmed in natural color
and took place during the building
OF the first railroad across Central
Africa at the turn of the century.
Motion pictures are not fiat any
more. Do you want a lion in
ycur lap and lover in your arms?
Then, for heavens sake, see Bwana
DaVil. You've never seen anything
like it. They've taken the screen
away and the picture comes to
life. Arch ObOler's "Bwana Devil"

Lord, and The Glory of the Cross
The book is useful for the Lenten
season. "The Cross stands at the
center of the Christian religion. II
is the dominating theme in art and
architecture, it is the determine
tive criterion in faith and conduct
1t is the impelling motive in devO-
ton and service. Other systems re-
volve around other symbols
but Christianity revOlves around
the Cross. Nothing has a right to
the name Christian that is con-
trary to or incompatible with all
that this symbol represents" The
test of discipleship is seen as a
Willingness to bear the burdens of
mankind. The closing chapter abIv
offers some definitions of the Cross

Domestic Workers
Aided By New
S. S. Plan

You don't have to consult vour
crystal ball for this.
Your employment as a domestic
worker can mean cash in your fu-
ture. Two years of proDerIv 70
ported employment in a Drivate
household have given insuranca
protection to thousands of domes-
TIC employees. You may be one of
them and not know it: if so. il
could be costing you money.
This was the statement issued to-
day by MyrOn Milbouer, manager of
the Wilmington Social Security Off
ice In the Old Custom House Build
ing at 9Th and King Streets.
II you work as a maid, cook.
laundress, nursemaid, chauffeur
gardener, or do any other kind of
work for one household on at least
"A different days in a calendar quar-
ter of a year, and if your employer
pays you at least $50 in cash wag-
es during the same period. vour
work counts toward social securi-
ty and must be reported by vour
employer, according to Mr.. Mil
bOuer.
If your work is covered by the
law, show your social security
card to your employer and ask to
have your work counted. Make sure
she copies your name and number
exactly as they appear on your So
cial security card because she can
not properly report your wages un-
less she has your correct name and
social security number.
The small amount of money with
held from your pay for social Sc
curity taxes buys you valuable in
surance which can mean payments
to you when you stop working at
age 65 or later, and to your loved
ones in case you die. Your social
security card is the key to these
payments. Guard it as you would
an insurance policy.
Remember! Social Security can
mean cash in your future; be sure
your record is right. Get the facts
from your social security office to-
day!
