Let 'er rain or let 'er snow any day 'till Easter, bat we must have the sun shine on the fair ladies •oate Easter morning. •,%Si . The only place most of aa men can hope to shine is on top of our heads. 1 • Hope we can convince the Mrs. that we didn't think this one up: "While we were young and green and unmarried, we, too, wondered why the old folks cried at weddings." ' Eddie Peisert wasn't fbolin' Monday night as he bowled a 266 game to help run up a 624 series. As George Barbian is apt to rM#»rk« "The kid is good!" . / Our high school is going to have a baseball team again this year. Haven't had a chance to look em over yet, but know there are some good t>all players in that group. Better hit the ball, boys--the big leagues are looking for players. Looks like the big leagues cant be fussy about their mfen being too "young or too old this year. ANY years ago Ellsworth ^ ' Vines, tne star tennis player, and not a bid golfer, made this remark-- "Ifs surprising how long it takes a fellow to get into hard competitive condition--and what a short time it takes to. get out agfin." And Vines was a hard trainer. This happens to be*completely true. It is one answer to Guader Haegg's showing in the recent IC 4A games at Madison Square Garden where he practically collapsed in the mile run. Haegg, the great Swedish flash, oudoors and in shape, has run the mile in 4.02. He was timed around Gander Haegg 4.31 over an indoor - y , t r a c k w i t h n o chance , to . train, soon after .he landed.. • " This means a lost or missing rtiar ' < • PALAtt * c. o. r-- Winkels, »79--StilHngs, 2351.

Hitch's new picture is the much- I talked-of "Spellbound,." with Greg- | ory Peck, making love to Ingrid Bergman, mystery, suspense, psy- I chiatry, fantastic sets by Salvador Dali, and music by the symphony composer and conductor Miklos Rossa. Hitch has his own theory about [ music. He gets a celebrated com- ( poser to write music for him just: so he can stop it. But just why, sir, do you get all that expensive music just to stop it? "You've seen people in danger?" asks Hitch. "Peoplfxat some high point of tension? Let's do a scene: We're sitting in this room talking, when bang! just like that a burglar enters and points , a gun at us. "We freeze. We don't move or breathe. Certainly we don't talk. At any dramatic moment like this there comes a hush. When the danger is over everybody starts jabbering. It's a release to talk, thejr talk louder, laugh louder. "So in a psychological mystery there are appropriate intervals at which I want the music dramatically stopped--with a hush! - "Only 'Spellbound' isn't just a 'mystery story. It's a love story.

Tiny seedlings of fir, hemlock, and cedar, developed by the scientific methods of the West Coast Lumbermen's association cooperative nursery in Nisqually, Wash., will grow into millions of sturdy trees over thousands of acres cm the rolling hills of the Pacific Northwest. Plans call' for the planting of 4 million seedlings this year, 5 million in 1945, and 7 million the year after. A1-* though the cost of hand planting is far more expensive than the natural reproduction of trees, lumbermen regard this project as,a fore- .
