LAST DAY! "BADLANDS of DaKOTA" i
'Badlands of Dakota*
Record-Breaker
If there Is anything more thrilling
than the crack of six shooters, the
rattle ami clatter of u Hixhorseatage,
the warwhoop of Iudlune, and the ,
lenee. gripping story of a big Western
picture, neither fiction, the stage nor
the Hereon has discovered It.
UnlversaI'b "Badlands of Dukotu" (
last tiuiOH today at tho llalglar ,
Theater, has all of theae ulcuieuta. ^
And for good measure, it has more (
?the crackle and roar of flames as
they devour a frontier town; hand-tohand
encounters, fierce battles with
the redskins and crowning thrill of all ,
thrills, the stirring call of bugles and
the thunder of a company of calvary.
As if that- were not enough, Universal
has assembled a cast such as
has rarely been seen in any Western
picture. The slurs are Hob Stack and
Ann Rutherford, and tho featured and
supporting players Include Richard
L)lx, Frances Farmer, Urod Crawford,
Hugh Herbert, Andy Devlne, Lon
Chaney, Jr., Fuzzy Knight and a
novelty singing trio, The Jesters.
The story Is epic in that it embraces
a colorful period of tho history
of the West. The discovery of
gold In the Black Hills of Dakota Territory,
the founding of Deadwood and
the shooting of Wild Bill Hickok are
vividly dramatized. General Custer
and Calamity Jane nre characters In
the story. The troubles with tho
Sioux that led to the fateful ambush
and massacre of Custer and his regiment
are graphically pictured.
Against tills background is played a
love story between Stack and Miss
Rutherford, with Drod Crawford and
Frances Farmer adding complications.
The story is one that allows incident
to lend excitement and thrills.
Especially satisfying is the work
of Frances Farmer, as Calamity Jane,
and Hrod Crawford as the proprietor
of tho Bella Union, Deadwood's biggest
aaloon. The two characters are
well matched In fire and spirit. BoUh
players are excellent performers
and each has a role that shows individual
taieut to the greatest advantage.
With Andy Devlne, Hugh Herbert
and Fuzzy Knight In the cast, there
is an abundance of comedy, well
spotted and very effective.
GREEKS FACE STARVATION;
DEATH RATE SYROCKET3
The appalling conditions the oppressed
peoples of Europe now face
will become more gruesome with winter's
approach. Four months after,
tho Balkan campaign, Greece is faced
with literal starvation, and tho situation
In Poland, where the death rate
soars in the Polish ghettos, is no more
encouraging.
Because of the lack of food, sys-.
tomatically looted by the Nazis cud
the Italians following the former's
Balkan victory, the Greeks face starvation
this winter. Meat only the
rich can afford; sugar, coffee and oil '
are non-existent. The daily bread
ration amounts to about sixty grams
or about one-eight of a pound. The
prices on all foods are four to fiver
times above their former levels.
While prices on foods have gone ;
sky high, the rate of wages has re- i
mained stationary?an intolerable (
economic condition for the law-wage
worker. The extremely low Wages
make it difficult for the majority of
people even to buy food that is available.
Germany's policy of loot In Greece
has been shown without question to
be deliberate. Two 10.000-ton freighters
full of food, including milk for
children, were refused permission to
unload at one Greek harbor by tho
Nazis and, instead, were ordered to a ,
Rumanian Black Sea port for shipment
to Germany.
Around .l.nun.ono Jews are forced
to live in 300 squalid ghettos in Nazi*
occupied Poland. The death rate, '
mainly due to lack of food, has risen
to three and in some places to flf'een
times greater than the normal mortality
rate.
As many as ,100.00 inhabit the War- 1
saw ghetto alone where the number 1
of registered deaths rose from eighty
a day in the month of May, l!?il. to
three times that number in Ju'y, .
though there were no epidemics. For
the same district the July deaths w. re
fifteen times greater than those re- 1
ported for tlie same district in the 1
corresponding month of 1030. ,
The most pitful note is that a big .
proportion of death in the Warsaw 1
ghetto is of young children between
the age of 1 to .1 who are no longer 1
11 lowed a daily ration of milk, almost <
in absolute necessity. One glass of ,
milk daily is allowed people suffering
from tuberculosis, providing they can
-how a medcial certificate to that offeet,
and children up to one year of *
ige Occasional handouts of pnta- <
'oes and a daily bread ration of only ^
three ounces are the only foods now
keeping the bulk of the populace alive,
with the exception of those who can
iff on! to pay outlandish prices for .
luxuries" such as sugar.
Forced labor, a sort of glorif;ed (
-lavery arrangement. provides the ,
>nlv source of income?about f>0 j
i week in our money, or equal to afmut
one and a half pounds of bread
purchased In the ghetto "free market."
The Nazi authorities force hard labor
m all men and women from 16 to 60 '
rears of age.
These deplorable conditions, once
hey #ro pounded home to the American
people, should furnish the Ui?Re4 Rates
with a great cause for fighting
S'azi tyranny to the end.

#
| Damon Hunyon, famous columnist
and author, had aome nice things to
say about Camden In the February
Issue of the New York Mlrrojc
Seems that llunyou received a per*
sonul Invitation from Lieutenant Oeneral
Hugh A. Drum to attend the man*
euvers of the First Army and be a
guest at the Klrkwood during October
"and NbvembbY. j
I In hll reply to the Invitation the
famous writer refers to Camdeu as
the charm city of the old South. By
permission of Jack Lair, editor of the
Mirror'and himself a famous writer
and author, the Camdeu News Service
was granted permission to use the
Runyon story. This permission was
necessary for the reason that all of
ltunyon's material is copyrighted by
the Mlrrbr. ? * 1
The Runyon item follows:
Lieutenant General Hugh AloysJus
Drum, who has the most appropriate
surname for an Army officer that we
ever heard, extends to us a cordall invitation
to witness the maneuvers of
the First Avmy in South Carolina during
October and November.
We are deeply grateful to General
Drum, who was one of Pershing's most
brilliant aides in the last unpleaasantnoss
this , nation engaged in, but we
j will, have to miss the soiree, It is probably
Just as well. Military maneuvers
have always served to confuse us.
Our observations would be of no value
to anyone.
It is a curious thing about military
| maneuvers. To some minds they are
as clear as crystal. To others (like
ours) they are completely befuddling.
We once had the most simple military
problem iu the world to deal with and
gummed it up in no time. Maybe we
ought to tell you about that. All right,
we will..
As the senior private in a small
coterie of military, young gentlemen
on leave from camp who had stormed
and taken a refreshment station in a
western town, it became our duty to
deploy our forces against an expected
assault from the enemy, known as the
provost guard. We therefore assigned
trusty sentinels to watching the
front door to signal the approach of
the foe, and having done this we felt
we had handled the situation in a manner
worthy of General Grant.
But we forgot the back door. That
was the avenue of approach of the
provost. They caught us in the unguarded
rear, - you understand. It
was during the ample time we later
enjoyed for reflecting over this grievous
error in the (concentration camp of
the enemy that we came to the conclusion
that we were not at all a master
of military maneuvers.
We presume our own dumbness in
this respect increases our admiration
for the military experts of today who
can tell you in a couple of columns
every twenty-four hours what the
Nazis and the Russians are doing,
which is more thaa Hitler or Stalin
know. But aside from having no
savvy for military maneuvers they
cause us a vicarious fatigue. The
spectacle of a military young gentleman
laden with the accoutrements of
war and also his household effects
plodding along a dusty road makes us
I
feel very tired.
However some regret enters into our
disinclination to . accept General
Drum's invitation because wo notice
that we could witness the maneuvers
from the headquarters of public- relation
in Camden, South Carolina, and
from what we have heard of CamJea
that is a dish wprth taking. We are
told it is one of the charm cities of
the old Soyth. Well, maybe someone "
will invite us there some day when
the landscape iu not as enervating as
It would bo to us during tho maneuvers.
If it will ease the impending sore
feet of the BQldlerH any " we can tell them
ttyat they will be maneuvering
on historic military ground. In the
revolution, Camden was occupied by
British troops under Cornwullis and
garrisoned by a force under , Lord
Hawdqn, and some right good flghtlug
came off around there between the ,
Americans and the British though perhaps
we should not bring up these incldents
at this time.
Sherman covered much of the territory
over which the First Army will
maneuver. In January, '6f>, after his
march to Savannah, he hiked back
north through the Carollnas, with the Confederacy's
Johnston making unavailing
efforts to stop him. On April
16, Sherman reached Raleigh, 500
mlleB from Savannah. This made
Lee's position in Virginia desperate.
The North's "General Schofleld, who
had been helping aid "Pap" Thomas
whip Hood, Joined Sherjnao in ^orth
Carolina, Vrlth 90,000 men SherI
man drove Johnston before hiin until .<
Lee surrendered, and then Johnston
gave up, too.
In February, '65, on the march
north,, part of Sherman's army entered
Camden and burned stores of to- I
bacco and cotton. *We Judge from the j
history of Sherman's marches that It !
will be a novelty to North and South
Carolina to have a lot of soldiers run- 1
ning around down there without arson
on their minds.

Aircraft Warning Message!"
Over telephone wires the
warning of approaching ene'

Observation Post to Filter
Center to be plotted, evaluated,
and transmitted to an
Army office for action.
No fictional dream, but a
glimpse into the intricate
and efficient system of disseminating
aircraft warning
information by telephone
to Army Interceptor Commands.
This system of telephoned
aircraft warnings,
which will be tested during
the Army maneuvers In
this state, Is vltaTto our

Should you suffer temporary
inconvenience while the
