My, won't the "city folks" be impressed. Band practice was last week and from our grandstand hearing post we are glad, right now, that practice is only once a week. „ "Glamour-pants Blake" had all the lack. That boy must have cut his teeth on horseshoes! Imagine drawxtg a police car out of a hat. We see the Local Lions had their elections and we are breaking out with curiosity again. Wfcat does the Lion Tamer and the Tail Twister do? With Bill AlthofT and Johnnie Karls in those spots it might be wrt Wthing. The Forum 'at the Community church really went to town Sunday night. Everyone had a chance to speak his mind on whether the United States should mix in Europe's affairs. It was lots of fun and the eats were ~ swell, thanks to Margie Cos and Vivian Bassett. ^UCTIONT v ' Consignment Sale at the STATE LINE SALES BARN on the Illinois and Wisconsin line on "fJ. S.

Freeman, Auctioneer Thorp Finance Co., Thorp, Wis,, Clerks We are anxious to-see "Union Pacific" which we understand is a very good movie. This is one of the pictures we watched in production at Paramount. We are especially interested in seeing the shots of the Indians burning the railroad trestle. This was taken on the lot under that black canvfes (black velvet) covering we told you about in our Paramount story last winter. We imagine it will be hard to believe that the Indians weren't actually outside but we .e«Mt swear to this, they were inside. If you want to see a big Holly- Wood, watch for the Premiere of "Man About Town" in Waukegan. Jack Benny will be there and a number of others in the cast- This will be June 25th, a Sunday. Jack will broadcast from Waukegan at his regular time, 6:00 DST, and if you can't go over tuns in. This should be fun a& we don't have many "per meers" in this neck of the woods. • YouH like "Love Affiftr." This is Irene Dunne and CljrfrleS Boyer at their best. We saw them both at the pre-view of this. Irene looked lovely in the silver fox jacket she wears in the picture. The change of moods may startle you a bit at first. Charles Boyer's acting is superb, especially at the last when he realizes why Irene failed to keep her appointment. Be Sure to watch his facial expressions in these last scenes. This picture has everything -- comedy, drama, much laughter, a few heartaches* Mod the ending is grand. Are the weeds growing in your garden too? We practically need a wailing wall, we feel that badly over seeing our hard work ruined by the rain, which seems to make the weeds grow two inches to the carrots' one. It's mighty hard to write a column these days. Every day seems like Saturday because we haven't become used tio the quiet school yard.

Noted Exiles Given Warm Welcome in Republic. PARIS.--France *is a great country for authors; witness the recent public excitement over the election of M. Charles Maurras to the French academy. The addition of another reactonary and so eminent a one as the Royalist leader and editor of the "Action Francaise" at that, to the immortals was a matter of Widespread general concern. Small wonder that Paris should be chosen as their home by eminent literary exiles, for perhaps nowhere else are writers of talent and merit so seriously esteemed. This summer a group of some 20 writers has left Vienna and Budapest lest the growing power of Naziism should hamper their pens, to settle here and organize their work on a sort of collective basis, especially for the cinema. Among Noted Exiles. They include Ladislaus Kodof, the fiungarian playwright, who supplied Hollywood with "The Unguarded Hour," "Jewel Robbery" and "Girls Dormitory"; Georges Manonand Gina Kaus, author of "Luxury Liner"; Eric Remarque of "All Quiet on the Western Front" fame, deprived of his German nationality, is working on a new play, a comedy, and a modern love-theme novel, in the environs of this city, too. Rodin's statue of Balzac (who, incidentally, was twice refused by the academy) is now to" be set up in Paris at the junction of the Boulevards Montparnasse and Raspail, a most important site near the Dome, the Rotonde and the Coupole--"literary" cafes. A year or two back a census was taken in the department of the Seine to discover the most popular French writer. Tne honor that France has showered on her writers was then shown by the number of streets named after them. JQNGRESSIo" NAL VIEWS by Congressman Chauncey W. Reed Leprosy Ratio of World Estimated at 2 per 1,000 SINGAPORE.--One person in 500 of the world's population is a leper. Dr. Gordon R. Ryrie, medical supers intendent of the largest leper hospital in the British empire, estimates. Doctor Ryrie appealed for a more intelligent understanding of leprosy problems in a speech at Kuala Lumpur, Federated Malay States. . It is time, he said, that the archaic conception of the terrors of leprosy be changed. "It is by no means a rare disease," he said, "it is not ordinarily infectious among adults, but is generally contracted by children between the ages of 5 and 10. Even a person married to a leper does not usually contract the disease." The tragedy, he said, was that probably not 2 per cent of lepers were being cared for, and not one in 50 was being cared for as a leper should be treated. "The world is not willing to spend enough to give a certain amount of care to one leper in 50," he added. "The money spent on cosmetics in England and the United States would provide comfortably for every leper in the world. "A fraction of the money spent on tobacco, sweets and alcohol would provde for all the lepers,** y. Corner Main Street and Route 81 Phone 284 Star Repeats Eclipse Cycle Twice Every Y<aar AUSTIN, TEXAS --The first major discovery from the William McDonald observatory--that the bright star Mu Sagittarii undergoes eclipse every 180" days--has been announced by Dr. Otto Struve, co-director of the observatory. "The discovery of an eclipse v hich repeats itself every 180 days ;i a bright star is an important matter in itself," Doctor Struve wrote the University of Texas. "The importance is enhanced by the fact that the phenomenon is quite similar to that observed in the £,clipsing of the large double star, Epsilon Aurigas, much discussed by astronomers a year ago," Doctor Struve added. ' He informed university officials, that the discovery was made upon the basis of a prediction by Dr. W. W. Morgan, an astronomer. The discovery was recorded in the observatory by Dr. C. T. Elvey. Although McDonald observatory has been in use for some time, it is not yet fully equipped. Struve pointed out that instruments in use there now are suplemental to a major lens being ground in a Cleveland laboratory. The observatory, in the Davis mountains of southwest Texas, is operated jointly by the University of Texas and the University of Chicago. Honor Will Rogers In the presence of his wife, son, sister and 1800 spectators, including many men and women prominent in our national life a huge bronze statue of the late Will Rogers, American humorist was unveiled fn Statuary Hall in the Capitol Building on June 6. The bronze replica of the genial Oklahomian, who during his lifetime, through his wit and genial philosophy, brought happiness and joy to many thousands of his countrymen was pre. sen ted to the Congress by Governor Phillips of Oklahoma and was accepted by Senate Majority Leader Barkley. In accepting the memorial Senator Barkley pointed out that the Rogers Statue would be the twelfth such replica in Statuary Hall of citizens who had never held public office^ Each state is allowed to have statues of two of their outstanding sons or daughters in the Hall of Fame in the Capitol. Another? : President Roosevelt's recent appointment of Archibald MacLeish, as Librarian of Congress to succeed Dr. Herbert Putnam aroused a storm of criticism in the House of Representatives. Representative Thomas of New Jersey accused the President's appointee of being a "fellow traveller" of the Communist Party, and stated that the Dies Committee Investigating un-American Activities had information to this effect. Congressman Thomas explained that a "fellow traveller" is a person sympathetic to the Communistic cause but for some reason «does not want to Join'the Communist Party. Wage-Hour Amendment On June 5 the House defeated a motion to suspend the rules and consider amendments to the Wage and Hour law under restricted procedure. If the motion had carried the House could only have considered the amendments proposed by the House Committee on Labor and it would have W>n precluded from proposing any amendments other than those recommended by the Labor Committee. A number of farm organizations opposed the Labor Committee amendments on the ground that $hey did not ?o far enough in exempting agriculture workers. It is reported that the Ljib- Committee angered toy Monday's rebuff will take no further action toward amending the Wage-Hour law at the present session, but there are some rumors to the effect that several members of the committee may go over the head of Chairman Norton and seek a Rule for the bill which if granted by the Rules Committee, will brin* the bill to the floor of the House open to amendments of all types. Neutrality The Administration was victorious in the first test vote in the House Committee on Foreign Affairs on the new so-called neutrality bill when it refused to retain the present embargo on arms, ammunition and implements of War. It is reported that the vote was along straight party lines,! the Democrats voting against the em-j bargo provisions, and the Republicans voting for them. It is also reported that the Committee, on a straight j party vote, approved the section ofj the bill empowering he President to defvie war zones. With the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs again postponing ,the commencement of healings on neutrality legislation, it appears that Administration strategy is to allow the House to act on the tneasure first. It is anticipated that a lengthy filibuster will result when the Administration attempts to force the bill through the Senate. Because of House rules a Republican filibuster in that body would not be effective. ersofidls Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lawrence of Chicago spent the weekend with her mother, Mrs. Mollie Givens.
