More than 100 pilots of the company who worked for % month in Canada are now in service overseas. James Cagney, Alan Hale, George Tobias and Dennis Morgan now would rather talk about the Royal Canadian Air force than about anything else. They have so many friends in it! By the time the picture is re leased, virtually every one of the Canadian fliers who appear in it will be overseas. *— Jean Phillips has finally taken it for granted that she’ll have to change the color of her hair for each new picture. Naturally blonde. JEAN PHILLIPS it’s been dyed four times for her last four films. She thought she could just be herself for “Sweater Girl,” but June Preisser and Betty Jane Rhodes have the other top roles, and they’re both blondes. Back to the hairdresser’s for Miss Phillips! * Samuel Goldwyn has acquired rights to the famous “off to work we go” song of the little men in “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” It/will be used as theme music for the seven droll professors in “Ball of Fire,” starring Barbara Stanwyck and Gary Cooper.

GOLDEN TEXT—For God so loved th# world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth In him should nol perish, but have everlasting life.—John 3:16. “I believe in God, the Father Al mighty, . . . and in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord ... I be lieve in the Holy Ghost.” How often we have solemnly repeated these words in the Apostles’ Creed, and how appropriate it is that our pres ent three month series of lessons on great Christian teachings should be gin last Sunday with a study of God, the Creator and heavenly Father, and continue today with Christ the Saviour, and present next Sunday the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. These are profound Christian truths, but at the same time they are so simple as to be grasped by the youngest child. Today we have the great privilege of presenting in our classes our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. He was I. The Self-Denying Servant (Matt. 20:25-28). Scripture clearly teaches that God’s standards are not the same as the world’s standards, and that His methods of operation are just the opposite of those of the world. All too often Christians and churches imitate the world both in principle and practice, with disastrous re sults. Consider 1. The False Greatness of the World (v. 25). “Rulers”—“great ness”—“exercise authority”—how altogether up-to-date these words sound. They are the big and swell ing words of the small hearts and minds which rule after the manner of this world. They epitomize the ambitions of the great majority of mankind, but they are definitely non-Christian. We see that as we go on to consider 2. The Humility of True Great ness (w. 26, 27). Service in the spirit of humility and self-sacrifice— this is the standard of Christ. Yes, and it is His command to His fol lowers. To be great for Christ one must become the servant of others. This teaching appears all through Scripture (for example, see Luke 4:11; John 13:13-17; I Pet. 5:5, 6). Twentieth Century-Fox sort of faced a problem recently; Ginger Rogers was to make one picture for the company, and there just wasn’t a good story for her. And Ginger’s valuable property nowadays. So— she’s going to appear in a re-make of “Chicago,” which probably will be called “Roxy Hart.” She’s also slated to start in “Self-Made Cin derella,” Lubitsch's first one for Fox. Too bad the off-stage dialogue of Myma Loy and William Powell can’t be used jp “The Shadow of the Thin Man.” The other day they made a scene in which Asta, the famous dog, had to sit on Powell’s chest. Asta seemed to feel sort of silly. v Powell retired to his dress ing room for a few minutes, and when he returned they tried it again, and Asta adored sitting on his chest. “I changed my necktie for a few strips of bacon,” Powell explained, exhibiting a neat bow. “Do you suppose Asta was Inter ested in the bacon,” asked Miss Loy, “or in the ham?” * How often service in the church is rendered in a spirit of pride, self- glory, and for the commendation and reward of men. When that re ward is not forthcoming or some real humbling sacrifice i$ required, the work is not desired or the work er becomes offended. Here is one of the roots of trouble in the church. Let us put it away as we look upon 3. Christ Our Example (v. 28). He paid the price of our redemption, going to the death of Calvary for us. From the highest glory which He had with the Father (John 17:5), He graciously stooped to deepest ig nominy as He became sin for us (II Cor. 5:21). Throughout both His life and His death He perfectly rep resented that self-denying, self-hum bling service which He expects of His followers. H. The Seeking Saviour (Luke 19:1-10). r There is much that is precious and beautiful to be said about our Lord, but perhaps nothing which brings Him so close to needy hu manity as the fact that He had “come to seek and to save that which was lost” (v. 10). He was The fourth picture dealing with the Burma road will be Metro’s “China Caravan.” Columbia plans “Burma Road,” Fox plans “Over the Burma Road,” Universal has “Burma Convoy” all done. Evident ly everybody decided at the same moment that the Burma road was news. To make factual, uncolored news available to the people of Central and South America, one of the big radio makers is sponsoring a daily program of press association news over local radio stations throughout Latin America; it’s the first special news program for general distri bution there to be sponsored by a United States company. * There are more ways than one to make an excellent living and a solid reputation in radio. Alice Youngman is doing it via the dram atized commercial route; she has assignments on “Are You a Miss ing Heir?”, “Helen’s Home” and the Lanny Ross programs. SK ODDS AND ENDS —Radio's Dinah Shore, singing star of the Eddie Cantor show, has a new college degree—Doctor of Blues, presented to her. by Harvard freshmen . . . Monogram's going to bring "Black Beauty” back to the screen . . . And Metro will do the same for the play, "Her Cardboard Lover," which mas made way back in 1932 under the title of "The Passionate Plumber" . . .

Olivia ie Haviland escapes from hoop skirts and bustles for her role as the young wife of college professor Henry Ponda in "The Mmla Animal" 1. Ever Interested in Sinners (w. 1-7). Jesus was on this occasion coming up to Jerusalem for the last time. The cross was ahead. He was much taken up with His coming death and greatly straitened in spirit (see Mark 10:32 and Luke 12:50). He was passing through the great and wicked city of Jericho, ' yet in the midst of His deep sorrow 1 and out of the vast multitude of that city He reached out to touch one sinner. Zacchaeus was a man despised for his calling of tax collector, and hated for his dishonesty. He was an outcast from his own people and a stranger to God’s grace, but Jesus was interested in him. Are we ready thus to go to seek and save the lost? Are we better (or busier) than our Lord? 2. Always Able to Save Sinners (vv. 8-10). Zacchaeus was a rich | man, but he was a sinner. It is not easy for a rich man to be saved, but it can be done (see Matt. 19: 23-26). Read the preceding verses of that chapter (w. 16-22) and you learn of another rich man who was not saved, the rich young ruler. He was a far better man than Zac- rhaeus—honest, upright, honored in his community. How was it that the wicked and despised rich man was saved and the good and respect ed rich man was lost? The answer is that the former ad mitted that he was a sinner and thus made it possible for Christ to save him, while the latter loved him self and his gold more than Christ and shut the door against His ro deeming love. AMERICA’S FAVORITE DESSERT I Confess now, how often would you turn down a tart lemon pie, a deep- dish apple pie, or a juicy cranberry one with the bright berries peeking out of the lattice crust? Not often, I imagine, or pie wouldn’t be our country’s fa vorite dessert. So here’s to pie, fa vorite at dessert time or at a bakery sale, made in big tins or as indi vidual servings: * Lemon Angel Pie. (Makes one 8-inch pie) 4 egg yolks % cup sugar Yt cup lemon juice 1 tablespoon butter 2 egg whites, stiffly beaten Cream egg yolks and sugar to gether. Add lemon juice and cook in double boiler until thickened, stir ring often. Add butter. Remove from heat and fold in beaten egg whites. Pour into a baked pie shell. Top with meringue and brown in moderate (325 degrees) oven for 15 minutes. Meringue. 2 egg whites, beaten until frothy 4 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon lemon juice Add sugar gradually to egg whites and continue beating until egg holds up in peaks. Fold in lemon juice. Any pie is as good as its crust, and if you’ve mastered the art, your pies will always be something to come back for. A good crust is ten der, short, flaky, well flavored and smart enough to stand by itself. If you make a crust to )>e filled, cool the filling before it comes in contact with the crust so you won’t have sqggy pie. Flaky Pie Crust. 2 cups flour % cup shortening 3 A teaspoon salt About % cup ice water Mix and sift flour with salt. Work in shortening using pastry blender, fork, knives, or fingertips, until mix ture appears crumbled. Moisten with water until dough just holds togeth er. Roll out on floured board and cut to fit pie tins. This makes enough for a double crust for a 9- inch pie tin. For a one-crust pie, use: 1 cup flour, % cup shortening, % teaspoon salt, and 2\fc to 3 table spoons water. Delicious Rhubarb Pie. IV2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca IVs cups sugar Yt teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon grated orange rind 1 tablespoon melted butter 4 cups cut rhubarb 1 pie crust Combine ingredients and let stand about 15 minutes. Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry rolled one-eighth inch thick, allowing pastry to extend 1 inch beyond edge. Fold edge back to form standing rim. Fill with rhu barb mixture. Moisten edge of pas try with cold water; arrange lattice LYNN SAYS: To keep your pie crust short, have the shortening and water ice cold. If possible, have your bowl cold, too, and when handling the crust, use your fingers as little as you can, to keep the heat from the hands from getting into the dough. Avoid rolling extra flour into the dough for this makes tough pastry. Fold the pastry over sev eral times while rolling to help make flaky pastry. Never stretch the pastry into the pan. Make it large enough before fitting into pan. Pie crust should be baked quickly on the lower shelf of the oven to prevent sogginess. The intense heat of the oven expands the cold liquid in pastry into steam, making the crust rise in flaky layers.

Fill un baked pie crust, cover top with strips, and bake 30 minutes in a hot (400 degrees) oven. There are pies in which you bake just the crust, pies in which you bake crust and filling, and other pies which you don’t bake at all. In this latter class are those pies whose crust is placed in the icebox to cool, then filled with filling and cooled un til set. Here’s a pie with crust, rich and crumbly, a filling that really melts in your mouth: Coconut Custard Pie. (Makes one 9-inch pie) 2 egg yolks 1Y2 cups milk Y2 cup sugar Y\ teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons gelatin % cup cold water Soak gelatin in cold water.

Chill before filling. Pile meringue on top of filling. Use 2 egg whites stiffly beaten, to which add Ys cup sugar slowly, and Ye cup of coconut. Brown lightly in broiler. In making a successful meringue, beat the egg whites until stiff and glossy, then blend in sugar com pletely to prevent beads of syrup from forming on top of the me ringue. Leave the pie on the top of the oven after it is baked. Cold air striking the meringue will cause it to fall. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) T’S to be another jumper year,” says every fashion prophet who knows a thing about school smartness. Pattern No. 1450-B sounds a new note in jump ers—it has a jacket, too. The jacket is long sleeved, waist length, collarless—of a peasant feeling which keys it perfectly for the youthful, wide-skirted jumper. The latter is cut with a square neckline, low enough in front and in back to allow a great part of pretty blouses or soft sweaters to be clearly visible. The jacket makes this outfit warm enough to carry you right through the early autumn, and the whole outfit is so “Mail call sounds as sweet as pay call when the folks back home send a carton of cigarettes or a tin of tobacco.” This is the con census among men in all branches of the service who have ranked tobacco first in the gift line. Actual sales records from service stores— in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard—showing the fa vorite cigarette is Camel. The popular smoking tobacco is Prince Albert. Local dealers have been featuring cartons of Camels and pound tins of Prince Albert as most welcome gifts from the folks back home to the boys in the service. —Adv.
