to Roland except make him
appear more virile. What's
his secret?
"Beefsteak and wine, amigo"
he answers. He still has the
same waistline as when he
started as an extra back in
the silents. Daily tennis takes
credit for that. Roland be-
lieves that his return to
romantic roles after a long
lapse augurs good things for
the status of Latins in Holly
wood. He points up the sue
cess of Fernando LamaS and
Ricardo Montalban.
Roland believes the public'S
picture of the Latin love-
making prowess is greatly ex-
aggerated.
I'VE Latins are just men.
like any one elSe-f1shermen.

From SiIents to Sd
HOLLYWOOD.

Gilbert Roland is once more
playing a romantic lead, thus
proving himself the most dur
able Latin lover in Hollywood.
He now has made screen
love to Norma Talmadge and
Jane Russell, a fact that tips
how long Roland has been
round this business.
His current stint in French
Line" opposite the shapely
Jane rounds out for Gilbert
a movie cycle unique in the
business. Seldom does a star
drop from the lover ranks to
character roles and then make
the climb back again. Espe-
cially when the cycle extends
from the silents to Sd.
Roland's first big movie
break came in 1927 when he
played the lover to Miss Tai
madge's Camille"
His smooth WOO technique
was in demand for the next
eight or ten years until the ad-
vent of the push-them-in-the-
face school of screen lovemak-
ing.
Roland, who never took his
star role too seriously, then
became a character actor and
an exceptional one. Some OF
his characterizations, eSpe-
cially that Of the non-believer
In Miracle Of Fatima," are
movie classics.
Howard Hughes gave Miss
Russell her choice Of roman
tic interest for French Line"
Her first and only choice was

Marguerite CORY Retires
After 81 Years OF Service
Maggie Rose Will
Be Missed BY All

1t was two years ago, July %,
1851, that story was published
which started TN Marguerite
Maggie Rose Gorry's apartment
on East High Street Friday morn
ing was a huge bunch of red
roses. Long after the last, full
blown flower has faded, will ling
er the memory of the occasion
which the flowers commemorate.
1T was on the eve of Maggie
Roses thirty-fifth year with the
London office of the Ohio Bell
Telephone Company that the flow
ers were given her along with the
coveted diamond studded pin
awarded by the company to en-
ployees who have been with them
for that number of years. "
At that time Maggie Rose"
could have retired, but she chose
to accept the mandate of the
company that she could stay on
her job as an operator for them
as long as she cared to.
Then along came an illness
which made it necessary to avail
herself of the company's sick
leave, and though she has been
out for a year and a little more,
as of July 20 this year, she has
been an operator for the London
office for 81 years.
AS of Wednesday, August 5,
Maggie Rose" has definitely re
tired from the company's employ
and as a testimonial to her long
and excellent service for the COM
pany, a dinner was given for her
at noon on that date at the Red
Brick Tavern. This was the sec
ond, such affair in her honor, the
first having been given two years
ago at the Tavern when her 35
years were up.
At Wednesdays dinner were r.
R. Sheets, district traffic superin-
tendent; A. McCaIla, assistant dis
trict traffic superintendent; E. A.
Griffith, vice president of Column
bus Council N. c. Kinsbury Chap
ter of Telephone Pioneers of
America, national organization
in United States and Canada, who
presented Maggie Rose with a
lifetime membership in the organ
ization which requires a service of
q years for membership and Miss
Ruth E. Lambert, chief operator
at the London office.

Marguerite CORY entered the
service of the Ohio Bell in Lon
don after three years previous ex-
perience with the Citizens Tele-
phone Company. She got her
training under Miss Grace Bal
lenger, then chief operator, (now
retired) in the exchange that was
over the present Days Drug Store
on South Main Street. Other
chiefs with whom she has worked
after Miss Ballenger was trans
ferred to the Ohio Bells Com
mercial Department of the Lon
don branch, were Tillie Neer,
Olive McCorkle Cornwell, Mabel
Johnson and presently Miss Ruth
E. Lambert.
When asked to comment on her
service, she reiterated many times.
I'll miss my friends whom I have
made throughout the years l al
ways enjoyed my work immense
ly; was glad to serve the public to
the best of my ability; wanted
them to know always that I re-
Spected their wishes and was al
ways pleased when l could be of
service to any person who was in
trouble"
Laws, honey, 1 wouldn't have
any idea how many calls I've
taken in that long time; they've
doubled and trebled as the load
increased through the passing
years. Sure I've had lots of funny
things happen"
One of these in particular
stands out in Maggie Roses mem
ory. Her voice has a most unusual
timbre and was always easily rec
ognized by her thousands Of
friends whose calls she answered
but one day when she said. Mum
Der please" for the first time to a
newcomer to the official family
IN the Madison County Court
House, she got no response and
called May help you, Mr.. x?"
Still no direct reply to her query.
but she heard the gentleman in
question turn aside and remark to
some person in his office, "I didn't
know they employed men opera
tors in London"

Bell Visits Home
Club On Tour Of
District Rotary

Rotary Clubs in Sc countries
and geographical regions through
out the world are united in an en-
deavor to promote international
understanding, good will an d
peace. That was the message of
Judge. James F. Bell, of London,
Governor of District 231 of Ro-
tary International, in addressing
the Rotary Club of London today.
His address preceded a conference
with local Rotary Officers, direc-
tors and committee chairmen.
In addition to the activities of
Rotary's 5000 clubs within their
own communities to promote this
objective, Judge Bell explained,
Rotary international through its
ideal of service above self" offers
a blueprint from which can be
fashioned a structure of lasting
peace among all nations and
creeds.
"Our safety as individuals or as
a nation" said the District Cover
nor, mo longer lies in the ability
of our armed forces to repel in
vasion. Safety against attack now
demands that we make our serv-
ices so essential to, our neighbors
they cannot afford to attack us.
The admonition Thou shalt love
thy neighbor' thus becomes uni
versal imperative, and service-to-
others is synonymous with surviv-
al-of-self. For if in the near future
all peoples and all nations do not
begin increasingly to share in the
good life, none may"
