One of the features of the meet- will be the initiation of a large 1 class of members from all sections of the stat^. Elaborate ceremonies will attend the formal induction into member ship. ' At this meeting delegates also will be elected to the national con vention, the supreme representa tive legislative body of the Wood men of the World. Woodmen of the World mem bers, it was pointed out, are al ways keenly interested in the progress of this state because the national association has a large investment in its municipal, coun ty and state securities. Members and delegates will re view the achievements of the past year and make plans for continued growth and expansion this year. Nineteen-thirty-four was a year of outstanding achievements for the Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Associatior. when more than $84,000,000 in new business was written. This was an in crease of more than $34,000,000 over 1933. The gross assets of the associa tion have grown to more tlian $119,000,000, making it outstand ing as the largest and richest tra- ternal life insurance association in the world. The consistent growth of the association, which operates in 44 states of the Union, is shown by the fact that in 1934 its gross assets increased more than $4,000,- 000, with a net gain of 12,322 members. • i' > The association has invested more than $108,000,000 in govern ment. state, county and municipal bonds. Since its organization in 1890 It has paid in death losses and disability benefits more tnan $240,000,000. It has a member ship of more than 355.000. Woodmen officials generally give credit to President Bradshaw tor . the unusual achievements and growth In the last two years. He was elected to the presidency after serving the national organization for many years as general attorney. He has taken an aggressive inter est in all Woodmen of the World activities and In particular has de voted his personal attention to im provement and enlarging the War Memorial tubercular sanitarium at t San Antonio.

Dowtin, R. 2, Troy, S- C. such a hit in “Flying Down to Rio.” In the story Fred meets Ginger under strange circumstances, too amusing to rob of its punch by tell ing, and he chases her hither and yon in a frantic effort to clinch their romance. She runs because she loves him . . . but that can’t be explained either, without revealing one of the smartest situations of the season Finally, through ?nistaken identity, she issues him a strange invitation which results in a conglomerat3 mixup of loves and romance and people in one hotel suite! The climax is a happy one, and the story is so entertaining that it could stand even without the re markable song and dance features. The cast includes Edward Everett Horton as a dumb English bar rister; Alice Brady, who causes him tc try every device to avoid marry ing her; William Austin as a “meaney husband,” Erik Rhodes as a debonaire professional Romeo, and Eric Blore as the funniest Eng lish butler seen on the screen in ages. The film was adapted from As taire’s international stage hit. of the same title, which ran 283 per formances in New York and six months in London. It was directed by Mark Sandrich. lay Hr* CL arias E. Otssxn. Christ the Saviour. Lesson for April 14th. John 3:14-17. Golden Text: John 3:16. Great Romance Of Air Warriors Is Booked By Luther called our Golden Text the “little gospel,” meaning that it briefly summarizes the whole glori ous message of the Christian rev elation. “For God Icved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that no one who believes in Him should be lost, but that they should all have eternal life.” Here we read the Good News of a Saviour! What do we find in this Saviour? First of all we discover the world’s most satisfying idea of God. To Jesus God was infinitely good, merciful, patient. Such a God digni fies and glorifies life. For if God is good, then life is good. Secondly we find in our Saviour the world’s most satisfying idea of man. What a faith he had in his fellow men, even the nost unprom ising! Browning accidentally pick ed up an old yellow volume from a bock stall in Florence, and was in spired by its cruel tale to write his greatest poem. Jesus did some thing more momentous. He took simple fishermen, and many a soul bruised and beaten in life’s battle, and made them over into precious servants of God. Then, too, we detect in the life and teachings of the Saviour the world’s loftiest ideals of conduct. His ethical principles are the no blest we have. “Attempt to reach righteousness by any way except that of Jesus,” wrote Matthew Arnold, “and you will find out your mistake.” We discover also in this Saviour the world’s most impressive exhibi tion of unselfish sacrifice. There is a noble devotion exacted by war. Yet the soldier, alas, must taint his soul with evil. The sacrifice of Jesus, by contrast, was pure as the morning dew, utterly unsullied. Finally, we win from our Saviour a new life, life that is eternal, inde pendent of the flesh, not bounded by the accidents of time we call birth and death. He it is who brings life and immortality to light through the everlasting gospel. Astaire And Rogers Score A Big Hit In “Gay Divorcee” Mischievous, gay, spectacular and glamorous, RKO-Radio’s musical comedy, “The Gay Divorcee” will afford wholesale amusement for local theatregoers at the Holly wood Theatre on Monday and Tuesday, April 15th and 16th, It is a high-speed entertainment with no time for parking and co- stars Fred Astaire and Ginger Rog ers, the delightful pair who made ABBEVILLE OPERA HOUSE FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY “Devil Dogs of the Air,” a mighty romance of the flying marines, is scheduled as the feature attraction at the Abbeville Opera House Mon day and Tuesday. The picture, which is the first Cosmopolitan production to be re leased through Warner Bros., is based on a story by John Monk Saunders dealing with the aviation corps of the U. S. Marines. It again brings together the inimi table trio who appeared in “Here Comes the Navy,” James Cagney, Pat O’Brien and Frank McHugh. Margaret Lindsay has the leading j feminine role. Included in the supporting oast are 1,000 Marines who take part as extras or in bit parts... There are any number of dare devil flying stunts, with planes crashing and men leaping from their blazing ships in parachutes. Spectacular maneuvers of the Marine Corps, with the U. S. S. Macon, as well as scores of air planes in battle formation and a dozen warships participating, add to the many thrills in the picture. Running through it all is a fas cinating romance in which one pretty girl holds a whole corps of marines to heel. Like its two famous predeces sors, “Here Comes the Navy” and “Flirtation Walk,” this picture was produced under a special arrange ment with the U. S. Government, with marine officers acting as technical advisers to assure its ac curacy in every detail. Two polar bears systematically drowned a black bear after he fell into a pool at the Washington park zoo at Milwaukee. First one of the polars seized the intruder and pull ed him under water. Then the sec ond polar bear repeated the pro cess. This ducking was continued until the black bear was dead. Other bears gathered around the pool and grabbed at the carcass as the polar bears pulled it from the water.
