ton. 1t was Milton who went
there and he soon had a large
shirt factory booming there. Then
he acquired some farms and had a
fine success with these, too. He
married Miss Elsie Walls, and a
daughter, Miss Susan N. Graves,
was born of the union. He was a
model young man here before 60
ing to Sussex County to reside. He
was liked by all who knew him
and his kindly, lovable disposition
endeared him to a host of friends.
He was industrious and looked af-
ter his business with an eye single
to a grand success. Our residents
will miss him, quite a lot because
of the nice personality that he pos
sessed, and was kind, helpful to
everyone.
Scenes of Christmas are seen
everywhere and they give a glow
ing conception of what they have
brought about in the past. Down
the street are seen two little boys
who are trying to swap Christmas
trees, one has too large a tree and
the other has one too small. Fin
ally they trade trees and each
takes home the tree he preferred.
Also down the street two little

girls are trying to sell some ducks
so that they can get money enough
to buy a turkey for their widowed
mother for her Christmas dinner.
And so the whole panorama of
Christmas cheer gladdens the
heart of everyone. Another charm
ing holiday picture was to see two
little boys, using all their strength
to drag home a tree for Christmas
observance. They handled it well
until they reached curbstone and
were stuck for a moment by the
curbing holding it back. Finally
they made it and smiled as they
overcome the difficulty. In every
quarter the holiday scenes are
keen reminders of the holidays Of
old when the same pretty scenes
were enacted in those days, too.

1t was nice to see Aunt Julia
Todd out for a walk a few days
ago. She has been quite sick and
was confined to her bed for several
days. AS she moved down the
street she was warmly greeted by
friends and smiled back when
meeting them. She is our Oldest
resident and has resided in this
community all of her life. AL
though it was surprising she walk
ed well and said she was feeling
much better. We all hope that she
may soon be entirely recovered.
Again it is nice to see Mr.. Leroy
Mannering out on our streets
again for bracing walk. He has
been i'll for several days but is now
on the mend. We join his many
friends and his relatives in wishing
him permanent recovery soon.
Mr.. Mannering has been good

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 28.-
Howard Hughes latest defiance
Of the film industry's censors
Drought open rebellion today
from his most famous star. Jane
Russell.
Tomorrow in st. Louis, RKO
will premiere French Line"
which has been refused a seal
of approval by filmdom's self
censoring Breen Office. The
movie was repeatedly turned
down because of some "glaring"
shots of Miss Russell and a
dance by her that will certainly
bring the cops to any theater
where it is shown.
Mr.. Hughes. who operates
RKO, brought his publicity guns
into action to promote the pic
ture. His campaign was ham,
pered by Miss Russell's state
ment that she thought the Breen
office was right.
II thoroughly agree with the
Breen Office" she said. 1T is
the public's safeguard and the
actors, too. I hope and pray
the studio will make the cuts
requested.
II was all set to go to st.
Louis for the opening. But when
heard that the picture was
denied a seal, Cancelled my
plans. do not want to be as
sociated with any picture that
is denied a SEAL"
Miss Russell and the rest of
Hollywood saw the latest Hughes
action as a repeat of his ma
neuver with "The Outlaw" her
first motion picture. Then an
independent producer, Mr..
Hughes defied the Breen Office
by releasing the picture without
a seal in certain cities. He soon
shelved the picture, and later
released it again after making
certain cuts.
II had nothing to say about
such things BEFORE" Miss Rus
sell said. "But now I won't be
drawn into the affair. My con-
tract is up in February. and
this experience will color the
possibility of my re-signing."

Even Jane Russell Protests
Revealing Shots in New Film

BILE with the studio came during
the shooting of French Line"
She was supposed to wear a
Bikini-like costume.
II fought and beefed and ar
gued," she admitted.
She finally consented to a
slightly expanded version of the
costume.
RKO's release of "French
Line" is believed to be the first
time a major studio has put
forth a Aim without Breen Office
approval. Earlier this year the
producers of 1.-The Moon is
Blue" released the picture
through United Artists although
the industry's censors would not
approve it. Despite this and con-
demnation by the Catholic 'Le-
gion OF Decency. the picture has
enjoyed fabulous success.
Insiders believe Mr.. Hughes
also will release "Son Of Sinbad'
without a seal. The picture con-
tains some sizzling dances by
Lili st. Cyr and nearly nude
dance by Sally Forrest. Those
who watched the dances on the
set wondered how they would
pass the Breen Office. The answer
is they won't.
| Despite Mr.. Hughes defiance,
it is doubtful if other major
producers will follow suit. The
industry's censorship code was
set up to forestall interference
by State. city. religious and
other censors. Theater owners
are also reluctant to buck the
code. A large Texas theater
chain has repeatedly turned
down French Line" because it
lacks the seal. Theater men are
actually aware of the need for

Few artists will attempt to
perform a whole program on the
violin. unaccompanied. There is
an apparent fear that the solo
instrument has not enough va
riety of color to create an atmos-
phere of sustained interest. The
literature for the violin alone
is not large and it is reputedly
esoteric: however this did not
prevent a good sized audience
from attending the West Garden
Court at the National Gallery
of Art last night. They were
well rewarded by a brilliant per-
formance.
Mr.. Rude. a graduate of
Juilliard, concertmaSter and
assistant conductor of the Okla
homa City Symphony Orchestra.
and twice participant at the
Prades Festival, is an excellent
violinist. He has technique to
burn; he possesses a fast i'm
personal vibrato and plays with
an intense tone most of the
time but varies his bowing with
a lovely breathing legato on
occasion.
Honegger's Sonata in D
Minor" is a noisy piece in its
best moments. The :"Allegro"
and the Presto" are the loudest,
most violinistic. and most ex-
citing of the four movements.
The Presto" could be a fine
piece if its melodies went some
where. They wander aimlessly.
The Allegro" is extended by
taste. The Largo" has a nice
harmonic movement that should
be coupled to better melodic ma
terial. The whole work shows
the influence of too many movie
scores from the pen of it's COM
poser, who can write superb
music when he wishes.
The years after World War II
and before the great artistic re-
canting Of composers and writers
in Russia were unsettled times
During this period Prokofieh
composed a remarkable Sonata
for unaccompanied violin" It is
frankly romantic, Western, and
bourgeois and it is good
writing. Prokofieff's music often
includes something banal. like
adding a realistic touch to an
otherwise completely abstract
painting to show facility
and often spelling the picture.
But this Sonata" has included

A Word to the Wise HyMr'. Frank Colby

T. K. of Camden wants to
know about the word SHREW,
"a scolding woman" Isn't there
an animal of that name?" he
asks.
A. The shrew is a small mole
like animal which was once sup
posed to be both vicious and
venomouS. Hence the word
shreW came to designate any,
thing evil or dangerous. BY a
strange transition the word
shrew Sprouted a I'd" and be-
came "Shrewd," which first
meant wicked; evil" but which
now means sharp of wit;
clever"
Muncie: How did a cross
country race get so queer a name
as STEEPLECHASE?-G. A.
A. The origin is uncertain, but
it is generally believed that the

across the country toward a goal
marked by some tall and con-
