Sidney Chambers
Erect Downtown
Street Decorations

Overhead garland, lighted bells
and stars were erected this week
on Central Avenue and Main
Street and will be turned on Fri
day night. This is a start of a
complete new system being paid
for by the Sidney Chamber of
Commerce and erected by the Ju-
nior Chamber of Commerce. The
old lighted cross strings had be-
come useless due to deterioration.
The Sidney Chamber budgeted
$700 this year for new decorations
which will be exceeded consider
ably because of the need for buy
ing new cable and other miscel-
laneous items needed for the sys-
tenn. According to Chamber Mer-
chant Committee chairman Syl
Braaten and vice chairman Dick
Tippet, this is the start of a two
or three year program.
The project is off to a good
start because of the fine cooper
alton received from Frank Brat
tin and his Jaycee crew plus the
help from other groups and indi-
viduals. The Jaycees have erected
all decorations and will dismantle
them after January /.
Much credit is due Frank and
Dick Quincy of Quincy Electric,
who have donated all labor in
electrical work. The Carpenters
Local No. GIG who turned out a
crew of seven men to install the
cable holders on buildings, also
contributed much to this project.
Others who gave valuable as
sistance included Dick Ness and
crew, Ebasco Services, Montana
Dakota Utilities, r. E. A., Bonnie
Dave, Jr., several paint contract
ors and Sidney Paint & Glass for
furnishing ladders, plus several
other individuals and organiza-
tons.
One other string is being erected
this week from Safeway to Har-
ODDS Servicenter. Some old dec
orations will be used and four
plastic Santas are also to be placed
in some good spots by this week
end. According to Chamber Off
Gals, next years program will in
clude extension of the present sys-
tenn on Main and Central, plus
strings on 1st Ave. Sc and NE, and
on 1st Street SW and Sc.
Some changes were made on
the windy Tuesday night when
several decorations were loosen
ed by the wind. Wayne Cumming,
Frank Brattin, Dan Price and Bill
Forester were the handy crew

tiss agreed with these findings
Some of the complaints come
from filling station owners, mo-
tel proprietors and owners OF
other lodgings along highways
who contend toll roads acted as
wall between them and their
motorist -customers.
The planning officials group
cited other reasons for what they
termed a fading enthusiasm 3or
the pay-as-you-go system OF
bodybuilding. One was that
many parts of the Nation did not
have enough traffic to make toll
roads pay. Another was the loss
of business from free roads run
ing parallel to toll roads.
The municipal bond depart
ment of a New York investment
house in a turnpike survey found
that S3.6 billion in bonds fol-

year. the society said. In addi-
ton. the survey showed that the

The society also cited the
drawback of lack of co-ordina-

pike with one across the State

had failed.

The Governments highway
experts believe the country has
seen the peak of toll road con-
struction.
Charles D. Curtiss, commits
sioner of Public Roads, says toll
roads are on the way out, mainly
because Federal highway plans
are making them unnecessary.
Mr.. Curtiss said toll roads were
mainly a financial arrangement
used by individual localities to
get roads faster than by waiting
for Federal aid. But the Gov
iernment's vast highway program
is rapidly doing away with pay
as-you-go roads.

action on huge $33 billion

roads started since l947. The

port to Congress on the problem
by January IL, 1858.
Public Is Resisting

ing the American Society Of

some general public resistance
to toll roads, even though it is
often overcome after the road.

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

John Dos Passos is a great
writer, and one of my favorites;
but I never fail to be struck with
his positive genius for writing
incoherent references. This is
hard to understand in a writer
of the stature of Dos Passos. He
is noted for his command OF
English, and for his forceful and
descriptive writing-and l be-
lieve that no one will deny that
this fame is deserved. But why
should he write of q. a traffic
cop in a blue uniform with a
long warm overcoat"?
1t is the traffic cop and not
the uniform who has the over
coat. Change with" to and
and the sentence becomes logi-
cal: a traffic cop in a blue
uniform and a long, warm over
coat.
Another time he speaks OF
g. pretty dark haired girl
with a glum expression on hel
face who's an interpreter.
Well, who's the interpreter =
the "glum expression" or "hel
face? Grammar and logic are
satisfied thus: the inter-
prefer. a pretty dark haired CIR
with a glum expression on hel
face.
Here is another ludicrous ref
erence: .. officers sitting
around with their tunics unbut-
toned, smoking and drinking.
This sentence clearly states that
the tunics were not only unbut-
toned, they also were smoking
and drinking.
Again the word with" is the
culprit. for note: officers sit.
ting around smoking and drink
ing with their tunics unbut.
toned.
My notes bulge with so many
of his family references that i
is impossible, as we'll as unneces.

All pass
The point is that you should
not double for a takeout just be-
cause you have a fairly good
hand, say IA or Is points in high
cards. You should also be able
to play any suit your partner
bidS-or you should have a good
suit of your own.
When you make a takeout
double over an opposing bid of
one club, you know your partner
can respond at the one level. If
you are not vulnerable and if
your distribution is favorable you
can double here on little more
than average hand in high cards.
But from an opposing opening
of one diamond on up, the
chances increase that partner
will have to show his suit at the
two level. 1t takes no arbitrary
rule from a textbook. but only
common sense, to tell you that
you need progressively more for
your takeout double as the open
ing bid gets higher.
When you are vulnerable and
make a takeout double over a
one-spade opening, you should
have a fine hand. Here it is
absolutely certain that partner
will have to show his suit at the
two range.
Are you prepared to guarantee
that your side will not be in
serious trouble-even if partner
has practically nothing?
In today's deal Mr.. Dale's
hand, containing Is points or
about three and a half honor
tricks, was just about mini
mum. considering the vulner-
ability and the fact that the
opening bid was a spade.

The beautiful Christmas rose has played it's part in the many legends associated with our Christmas ob. servance.
 An early story tells of the young shepherd girl who wept as she watched the Wise Men on their way to the Christ Child with rich gifts when she had nothing to offer as a present. An angel appeared and asked the reason for her dis. tress. And suddenly the ground was carpeted with shining white flowers. The shepherdess gathered some of the blossoms and took them as her gift to the Christ Child. When she presented her gift, the Infant smiled, and as his fingers touched the white flowers, the petals became tinged with pink.
 It is also believed that the Christmas rose helped popularize the custom of gift giving at Christ mas time. In the days of knight hood it was custom to hang kissing rings in the great halls. The rings were decorated with mistletoe and beneath them the young knights and ladies would meet, each bring ing Christmas roses to their secret love.

King Bros. Climb Saga
Of Immigrant Family

Frank and Hymie, who only three years ago moved
up into big-league movie production with Carnival
Story" made on location in Europe now have come
back from Mexico with sleeper, 1.-The Brave One,
currently the talk-of-the town in Hollywood The Kings
are three Jewish boys who made good in the film cap
ital
THEIR CAREER sounds ncredible it outshines
even Horatio Ager. Born to simple immigrants named
Koznsky their parents moved from the East Side OF
New York to Chicago and further to the Boyle Heights
section of Los Angeles, when the children were quite
small The family consisted of three boys two girls,
their father-who owned small market in the pow
erty-stricken district-and the mother small alert
woman with a tremendous amount OF energy.
By the time Maury Is, the trio owned sew
era apartment houses and caught up in the national
fever speculated with the stock margin. Wiped out
on Black Friday of 1929 the boys borrowed $3.50 and
went into the candy and tobacco business. Within ten
years. the King Brothers owned approximately l9OOO
uke boxes and vending machines, experimenting with
their own movies for penny arcades Thus they learned
the craft from the ground up.
THE KINGS made their first full-length movie in
1910 at cost of only $4,000, paper Bullets, which
crossed something over 900 During the next five
years, the brothers made nine pictures among them

known Jewish film-maker who had left Germany when
Hitler rose to power Diinger" became one OF the all
time biggest money makers Made for less than $751;

many parts of the world.
The King Bros. long ago moved from Boyle
Heights to exclusive Beverly Hills still living with their
mother now in large home with three servants They
continue to work as Maury is conceded to be
the spark plug of the company, the man with fresh
story ideas; Frank the administrator, holds down the
older ones wilder flights; Hyme the quetest OF the
three handles public relations None OF the boys has
ever married and their aging mother still plays an ac
tive part in their decisions.
QUITE A JUMP from the sunls of New York to
swank offices on the Sunset Strip! The Kings, IN spite
of their miraculous success have maintained humility

You probably have eaten buds
of the CAPER flower in salads
or sauces with a Continental fla
vor. In Southern Europe, the
home of the caper bush, these
buds are picked in salt and
strong vinegar. When they reach
the table they are small, dark
green spheres with no hint of the
lovely flowers they could have
been if left on the bush. Exceed
ingly long stamens are typical of
this family. In the caper flower
they have divided until there may
be 40 to SO stamens instead of
