MARATHON NEWS NOTES
BY THELMA PARKHURST

Friday was the first day of our
American Legion Auxiliary Rum
mage sale, and we were rained
out. We started out fine Friday
morning, Kay Spence, Francis
Coons, Helen Williams, Ella Ora
ham, and ! with high hopes, and
everything was going along well,
until about II O'Clock - then the
rains came. We finally had to
close shop for the day.
Thursday just as / parked my
car in front of the fruit stand op-
poSite the Flamingo, ] heard a
terrific crash. Kay Spence and
Francis Coons were in the car
with me delivering things to be
sold at the Rummage Sale. A car
had run smack into the sign
in front Of the L and L Drive In
lunch stand. We three went run
ming over to the car, and found a
local man, Bob Wood, behind the
wheel. He was bleeding from the
nose, and suffering from shock.
Francis ran to call the doctor,
and Zay ran to call the patrolman,
and some stranger to me-, got a
towel and was wiping Bob's face.
I asked if there was anything l
could do to help him, and this
stranger replied, Get a doctor or
something if there is anybody in
this blankety-blank town that has
sense enough to-"
l said, "a doctor and the police
are on the way right now"
! know that the man was excited
and all that, but that is truly the
way mot to make friends" in a
village such as Marathon. / do

"Bwana" represents a happy tri-
umph for Oboler over his scofferS.
Where can he go from three
dimenSional films? He's got an
answer. His next project will be
called "Spear in the Sand" and it
will have third dimension sound as
we'll as sight. Sound will be pro.
jected realistically from loudSpeak-
ers in various parts of the theater.
He advises the major studios to
start scouting new horizons, too.

heard that he was once on the
New York police force, and was
well trained in the art of first aid
1 must say that he must have
stopped the course before he got
to the part about courtesy and
diplomacy. l hope this gentleman
will be more polite to the Rebels
from now on as the remark was
heard and resented by several old
timers, who have asked me to
write this.

Three Dimension
Movie Proves To
Be MOney-Maker
BY SOB THOMAS


HOLLYWOOD Rt-They laughed
when Arch Oboler sat down to
make a picture in three dimen-
sionS.
The Hollywood wiseacreS scoffed
when they attended the premiere
of the film and had to view it
through special glasses. Three top
studio executives walked out in the
middle of the film. The press re-
views varied from condeScending
to brutal.
And does Oboler sit around cry
ing about the result? Nope, He's
too busy making millions with the
movie.
The picture is happy little col
lection of hokum called "Bwhna
Devil" Far from being a disaster,
it is expected to draw eight million
dollars at the box office, accord
ing to Oboler'S reports That would
mean four million to its hackers,
and Oboler Owns 60 per cent. Now
do you see why he's far from un-
happy?
At the moment, the Stubby film
maker is sitting ON dandy deal. A
group wants TO buy his interest in
"Bwana' for two million. This cap
ital gains deal would net him far
more than If he paid straight in
come tax.
All this high finance almost
/ seems to bore Oboler. At least he
is very offhanded about these
shakespeare sums and claims the
money is no great regard for him.
The money is convenient to
have" he remarked, but only so
can make more pictures. I've
never really aimed at commercial
success. The only person I am
striving to please IS myself. . want

TboNgbts on Life
Light a Candle
By DR.. JOHN W. HOLLAND

stantinople devised a plan for light
ing Saint Sofia's church. Each per-
son coming to church brought a
candle, for which little holders were
placed all around the walls. Then
when the worshipers were as
sembled the room was filled with
light.
Easier TO Protest
The moral and spiritual atnos-
phere in our own homes may be
dim. The thing to do is to ''Let our
light shine" No one can measure
the good that even one light will
do to throw back the shadows.
have letter from a reader in
which a wife-mother tells of the
Transformation that came to their
home. The father had. taken to
drink and to general disregard for
the welfare of wife and children.
At first she complained to him and .
finally thought of leaving him.
Then, a better idea came. She
would give herself more to prayer
and over-kindness to the erring
husband. Nothing happened for
some months, but she kept her
candle burning.
One Sunday morning, the hus-
band said, eve are all going to
church today" She said nothing,
but got the family dressed for the
occasion. At the close of the morn
ing service, this father arose and
said to the congregation: 81 have
been a fool and worse, as most of
you know. The light of my wife's
daily walk has shown me the way
to her Christ. 1 want to confess
my faith in Him, and unite with this
church,
Let Your Light Shine So
''Let your light so shine before
men that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father
which is in heaven"
One hundred and fifty years ago,
the passion of Christian Missions
was almost dead in A m r j
churches. Then a little band of
students in an eastern college met
out in field to pray. They offered
themselves as missionaries. Their
candles burned dimly at first, but
that "haystack prayer meeting" be-
came a master candle from whose
flame thousands of other candles
were lighted. A century of great
missionary endeavor resulted, the
greatest since the days of the
Apostles.
''It is better to light candle than
to grumble at the darkness"
In an age so dark that our own
times seem bright in comparison, a
Biblical writer said: ''Thou wilt
light my CANDLE Gods Spirit glow
ing in his heart gave him enough
light to walk safely and helpfully
amid the gloom of paganism. You
and I do not need light to dazzle
us; we need light enough for the
next step ahead. This age will be
described by future historians as
the age of the great denial of God
and His Christ. We may spend our
time in complaint and grumbling.
or we may keep "the light that is

Members of Congress even
have to be careful about the
sociability they stir up among
themselves. Witness the ex-
plosion over the Republicans
new Capitol Hill Club when it
became known that not only
lunch and dinner but also
cocktails were served there, as
in the case of nearly every
other private town club in the
country. The hue and cry may
be the reason the clubs busi-
ness has fallen off since early
spring. With 675 dues-pay-
ing members, though, it's still
a going concern.
House Chowder and Marching
Society
Ever ready criticism from
one source or another is the
reason the little known Chow
der and Marching Society,
which was formed by a hand
full of Republican representa-
tives in 1947, has kept its ac-
tivities quiet. Limited to about
IS members, though others
would like to join, they take
turns staging a party once a
month which the wives are in
vited to attend and adore.
They give good ones such a.
their beach and river parties
Of the summer.
The most famous member,
Vice President Nixon, likes to
play the piano and have a
group gather around and sing;
the Norblads of Oregon usual
ly have a planked salmon
party with an Oregon salmon
so big it can't be cooked in the
oven: the Byrneses of Wiscon-
sin often stage a barbecue at
their place in Arlington, and
so on.
At all meetings, particular
ly the weekly stag meetings
on Wednesday evenings, the
group is up to their ears in
political talk. They insist they
vote independently and rep
