They are reported to have been laying colored eggs. And it's all because of a mul- berry tree and a little animal known as the phalanger or flying fox. The phalanger started the hens off on their technicolor pro- duction by knocking quantities of colored berries down from a mul- berry tree that overhung a poul- try yard, The hens liked the berries and the rest was auto- matic. Most popular colors to date have been cyclamen and mauve, says the grocery business paper. ® 'To the kids, it means: To the women, "ettes, Shaving Cream. smile means a lot. < | druff. Len Hope, Mgr.

Italy's Musical Heritage Shown In Fine Films By Dorothy Maybee Deeply stirred by the news that his beloved homeland, Italy, had been liberated from the Nazi yoke, Toscanini called together the NBC Sympnony orchestra, Jan Peerce, renowned tenor, and the great Westminster choir of New. York for a broadcast perform- ance of Verdi's rousing "Hymn to the Nations" The significance of the occasion so inspired them that the performers appear abli- vious of mikes and movie cam- eras, and those who see and hear the film, "Toscanini," can hardly remain unmoved by this scene.
