"LADIES IN RETIREMENT" GREAT SCREEN DRAMA "Ladles In Retirement", the turbulent drama which was a Broadway and London stage success, opened yestorduy at the Hulglar Theatre with Ida Luplno and Lftuis Ilayward giving the greatest performances of their screen careers in roles wnose matchless Intensity have rarely been equalled before the cameras. Nor are the stars alone in their superb performances A brilllan supporting cast Includes Evelyn Keyes, Lisa Lanchester, Edith Barrett and Isobel Elsom. Chwles Vldor'a masterful direction adds suspenseful entertainment value to the new Columbia film, which wns produced by1 Lester Cowan and Gilbert Miller. Miss Luplno appears, In "Ladles In Retirement", as the lovely, lonely companion to a retired actress. The girl's devoted care ut her two elder | sisters, her determination to provide them sanctuary nad protection, keynotes the gripping narrative. Hayward 1h cast as a likeable knave of no principles, who does not hesitate to employ blackmail or other villainy. The relentless conflict between the two?husband and wife in real life? Is a major motif in the Columbia drama. " Where the famous ''pixilated sisters" of "Mr. Deeds (Joes to Town" won screen renown, a few years ago, the light headed sisters portrayed by Miss Lanchester and Miss Barrett are certain to achieve even greater acclaim. The former, a well-known character actress, and the latter, a Broadway star making her motion picture debut, brings to the screen a mirthful pair of sisters whose vagaries not only contribute refreshing merriment to the story but supply it, as well, with a brooding mystic i Intensity which superbly matches the fog-bound marshland and fore-boding Interiors against which the strange, Huspenseful story is told. The superb photography ol Georgi liurnea contributes greatly in establishing this mood. The lovely young heroine Of Columbia's "Here Comes Mr. Jordan." Evelyn Keyes moves another step closer to her richly deserved stardom. Her performance, as the romantically-inclined maid with a weakness for handsome, unprincipled strangers, Is a contribution of vulue to the rich film fare currently at the Haiglar Theatre. Similarly to be praised is Isobel Elsom, who portrays the illfated actress who, like her maid, has a weakness for rascals. The screen version of "Ladies in Retirement" is well worth seeing.

Millions of loyal and putrlotlc American* want to know what they tan do to make tlieae buL| warka stronger. The answer to this is that wo can make America Strong by making Americana stronger. Nutrition and heulth uro tho foundation on which we must start. America 1h doubtless tho best fed nation on earth but every American is not well fed. More than one third of the men rejected as physically unfit for selective service had defects due directly or Indirectly to nutritional deflclences. Farm people must produce moro food, especially the protective foods like milk. eggs, vegetables, cereals, and fruits. People living in towns and with limited Incomes must know how to buy to get the ffreatost benefit lu health for their food dollar. If you do not know about this you can securo this. Information from the County Health Department, Extension Service or from your Load Defense Council. Building strong bodies is the primary responsibility of the individual but community services help by safe-guarding basic health. These services Insure Inspection of milk supplies and Insures cleanliness in tho handling and distributing food. It provides adequate sewerage and sanitary facilities, pure drinking water, adequate hospital facilities, and prevents the spread of contagious diseases. At present the defense situation is making new and serious demands. Doctors and nurses are being called into active service. There Is not time to train enough professional peoplo. Here is a great opportunity for volunteer service. Outstanding among i the opportunity for preparing for service In this county now are the First Aid Classes which have been and are being conducted in towns and 17 rural communities. Soldier centers have been established throughout each town in the county and both rural and town people have been most generous in opening their homes to soldiers during the maneuvers. Recreation is a vital factor and don't underestimate It. Don't think that health and welfare make no dlfI ference. Look at England who Is really up against the guns of war. The English are a race of men and women used to playing games; to giving and taking; to fighting on when the end is unpredictable. When their critical moment came they faced it as only a free people imbued with the spirit of fair play can. Anyone who has skill and can impart it to others can be a successful recreation lender. Just as the homemaker or the specialist in nutrition could turn to the Nutrition Committee of the local Defense Council so the person who can render these services in recreation can sign up with Recreational Committee of that Cou ncll. There is a job for everyone. There Ik a need for people to Inform themselves and select the Job they tan best do and do this In preparation of the critical days to come. Health and welfare are merely two of the many vital sectors along the fighting front of defense; we are preparing to defend our homes and families and it is tho privilege and duty of every loyal and patriotic citizen to see that the welfare and health of these homes and families is preserved.? Margaret B. Fewell. HAIGLAR ? Monday and Tuesday Ida Lupino and Louis Hayward are co-starred at the Halglar Theatre in Columbia's turbulent ''Ladles In Retirement", which is based upon the sensational Broadway stage success.

Iho House this wook has b^en doing nothing much but attending to routine matters and committee meeting#. The bill which paused the Houso about two' weeks ago to arm oyi* merchant ahlpe has been debated In the 8enate all this week. The debate there will probably last a week lougor. It seems that the Senate will amend the bill in several particulars and, it so, it will have to go to free conference. The free conference report will then come back to the House and Senate for adoption. Word has JuiSt como ip that the Reuben James, a U. S. Destroyer, wtfB sunk last night west of Iceland, and apprehension .grew In Washington as hours passed with no word of the fate! of the crew of 6 officers and 114 men. This is the second U. S. Destroyer hit by German torpedoes in the last two weeks. It will be remembered that the Destroyer Kearny was hit by a torpedo, but not sunk, on October 16. Naturally, the attack on these United States war ships increased the tenseness of the atmosphere here. It is impossible to forecast what the future will hold for the United States?war or peace. We hope it will not be war, but are getting ready for anything that may happen. Every one seems to think that our defense forces are doing a pretty good Job in their efforts to get ready. The Navy Building Program is far ahead of schedule, defense production Is ahead of schedule in many instance*, airplane production has reached 2,000 planes per month, and the Army Training Program is doing as well as cpuld be expected. ' i Tuesday (October 28) was the 55th anniversary of the unveiling of the Statue of Liberty on Bedloes Island in New York Harbor. There are many citizens still living who remember the occasion with an enthusiasm by no means dimmed by time, the occasion was possessed of those qualities which entitle great events to enduring recollection. Yet the story of this notably famous j example of the modelers art Is but Imperfectly known to the American people. The whoie tremendous enterprise, as It happens, developed from a casual ^conversation at a dinner party at Gavigny near Versailles in 1865. One of the guests had remarked that such a thing as national gratitude could not exist. The United States, it, was suggested, probably no longer recalled with appreciation the assistance given by France in the thirteen . rebellious colonies in 1776. To the skepticism thus expressed, Edouard Rene Lefebvre de Laboulaye,, a distinguished jurist and historian,: now undeservedly forgotten, opposed a practial resistance. In brief, he pro-1 posed that the American Nation' should be presented with a gift which , should constitute a reminder of its, ties with the country from which, Lafayette, Rochambeau and De1 Grasse had come. The plan took de-, finite form with the founding of the j French-American Union in 1874. j Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, a sculptor j of genius then in his prime, began his' labors on the colossal figure of the Goddess of Freedom during the following-year. The finished work was | turned over to the United States on, July 4, 1884. j The Statue weighs 450,000 pounds. (225 tons); the copper alone weighs 200.000 pounds and is 3-32 of an inch thick; 40 persons can stand in the head. The public is not admitted to the torch. The number of steps in the Statue from the top of the pedes- y tal to the head is 168; the number of || rungs in the ladder In the uplifted j right arm, 54. The pedestal of the' Statue 1s 89 feet in height and 62 feet j at the base. Liberty carries In her i left arm, pressed against her side, -a | book representnlg the law, which has j on It the date, in block letters, (July j 4, 1776), and meaning Liberty based 11 on law. The Statue Is visited by | 400,000 visitors in a year. ji The Irony and tragedy of it all is j that now France, sometimes called the cradle of liberty, is under the heels {>f Hitler.' The fact that France, a longtime democarcy, made such a weak fight against the dictators brings up the question of whether or not a democracy can effectually wage war against a dictator who has supreme power over every one and every activity in a nation. I still believe that a democracy, whose citizens are willing to cooperate, will fight better and longer than any dictatorship on earth. The trouble with France was that the French people had grown soft through the benefits Df democracy and simply quit. This, of course, wai partly due to the subversive elements that undermine the morale of the French people. We should learn our lesson from France and ruthlessly stamp out the elements in our country who have no ' love for it and are unwilling to sacrifice for the United States. I am afraid our people do not reaHxe even now the great sacrifice that every strata of American life will be called upon in the near future to endure. rmmm LOOKS AO mm Things have changed a lot in 25 years?yet there is much that is the same. In 1916 it was Preparedness; in 1941, National Defense. But now the scale is . ._. fau bigger, the pac$ is faster. There was pressure on the telephone business then. The .-pressure is infinitely greater now.. Nejv training camps; new aviation fields; new munition plants; new shipyards and many other defense industries, all need telephones. Everyone is moving faster.. * and, when a nation hurries, it does so by telephone. Southern Bell spent about $4,600,000 on new construction in 1916. It is spending over $51,000,000 in 1941. The entire Southern Bell organization serving nine Southern states, is giving "first call" to Defense. We believe you would want it that way.
