THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. By VIRGINIA VALE Released by Western Newspaper Union. J ACK BENNY’S feeling that he hadn’t been given adequate publicity, and that Bob Hope and Jimmie Durante had, brought up a reminiscence about Hope. Someone said that Hope works at it—that, if he sees four soldiers standing on a street corner he grabs 'a pianist and does a show for them. “Back in 1938,” said somebody else, “Bob was doing a summer fill-in show, and we never could find him ■when we’d scheduled interviews, be cause he’d be off somewhere doing a benefit. He did benefits for churches, for clubs, for everybody who wanted him. He thought we were crazy to expect him to spend 'time on a newspaper interview when he could be working hard, for noth ing, for someone else.” * “Columbia Presents Corwin" stepped right to the top with the first broadcast; those Tuesday night programs have broken down the re sistance of people who say haughtily that they never bother to listen to any broadcasts but music. Of course, Norman Corwin long since NORMAN CORWIN made radio history; he has always had new ideas, and is a pioneer in radio technique. He has won prac tically all possible awards. This series of dramatic presentations, done with excellent actors, ought to bring him a special one, and a host of new listeners. Marie MacDonald’s going through the Hollywood “streamlining” proc ess—voice lessons, dramatic coach ing, dancing lessons, having her hair done a dozen different ways—pre paratory to play in j a nice part in Hunt Stromberg’s “Guest in the House.” Before going to Hollywood two years ago she was soloist with Tommy Dorsey’s band and specialty dancer and singer at two smart New York night clubs. —*— Nobody can say that John Carra- dine isn’t versatile. He has the heavy role in Wallace Beery’s new “Gold Town.” Movie-goers know him by his work in “Stagecoach,” “Reunion in France,” etc. And he’s recently been touring in Shake- spearean repertoire! If you had visited a rehearsal of CBS’ “Crime Doctor” you would think you’d stumbled onto a bunch of small boys playing cops and rob bers. “Take that—bang! bang!— you’re dead!” you hear, but it’s a grown man saying it. It’s all be cause of the shortage of blank bul lets and the lack of a reasonable facsimile. There are enough car tridges for performances, but not fox rehearsals. Connee Boswell, the Blue network songbird, has been appointed head of a nation-wide morale boosting or ganization of people who have "ar rived” despite physical handicaps. Connee has been an infantile paral ysis victim since childhood. * Twentieth Century Fox did the country a service when they bought screen rights to “Winged Victory,” the army air forces show now play ing to packed houses in New York. The cast of 358 goes to Hollywood next month, starts the picture in June. It’s a swell show, amusing, informative, soul-stirring. The cast Includes a number of men who’ve made pictures and done radio work, as well as Corp. Layne Britton, a former make-up man who made up Joan Crawford, Robert Taylor, Greta Garbo, Walter Pidgeon, and even did his stuff on Charlie Mc Carthy! —*— Fannie Brice, who once was a star in the stage “Ziegfeld Follies,” has been signed by Metro for its screen version of the Follies. She will appear in a sketch, “Sweep- stakes,” and will also do her famous Baby Snooks routine. * ODDS AND ENDS—Radio ttatUticians are trying to discover if any other net work announcer beats Milton Cross’ rec ord ; the chief heckler on “Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street? is on his 23rd year as announcer . . . Dorothy Shcy has arrived—originally appearing as guest on CBS “Carnival,” she’s now a perma nent member of the show, co-starring Alex Templeton and Morton Gould . . . “News Front,” fifth of “This Is America” series, is dedicated to 320 war correspondents, 16 of whom have lost their lives . . . 12 years ago George Sanders gave a piano recital for television; he plays and sings in “Ac tion in Arabia.” Quick Pickup . . . Cookies and Milk (See Recipes Below) Fill the Cookie Jar Sometimes I think the cookie jar Is the favorite piece of equipment in the American home — especial ly in the kitchen. At least it’s the most popular, and that’s not just among the young sters for many a time the oldsters make the path to the cookie jar just as often as the children. If there are cookies in the house, then it’s the kind of a house that spells “Welcome Home,” for cook ies are not just delightful to have, they often take the edge off hunger when it’s most necessary—after school, or after a meal to give it the fixiishing touch. Cookies aren’t hard to make. They last longer than cakes. They take less ingredients, and they go much further. Keep a list of favor ites on hand that will keep the cookie jar filled no matter how popu lar that jar is! Save Used Fats! Oatmeal and peanut butter have long been popular ingredients in cookies, but here they are together —guaranteed to be doubly popular: Oatmeal-Peanut Butter Cookies.

Hermit Bars. 94 cup butter or substitute 1 cup brown sugar 2 eggs, well beaten Vi cup milk or coffee 1 cup baking molasses or sorghum 4 cups sifted cake flour 1 teaspoon salt Vi teaspoon soda 2 teaspoons baking powder Lynn Says Make Cookies! It’s fun to make cookies when you have the “know-it-all” right at hand. Make it easy for yourself by following these simple directions: Start heating the oven before you actually make the cookies so all will be in readiness when you pop the sheets in the oven. Assemble all the equipment needed. Assemble and measure the ingredients. Prepare cookie sheets next. If cookies contain much fat, sheets need not be greased. Pans for bars should be buttered, lined with waxed paper, then buttered again. Shortening creams best at room temperature. It should not be melted as this injures texture and flavor of cookie. Eggs are usually well beaten before added to the shortening and sugar. If the quantity of eggs is small, they may be added directly to shortening and sugar.

As he grew from infancy he never spoke a word and his parents raised him as a deaf mute. One day the father was bent over at his work in the orchard and did not notice that he was directly in the path of an enraged bull. “Look out, Pa,” the son shouted. “Here comes the bull.” The father ran to safety and ex pressed his joy his son had found his speech. “Well, Pa,” the son replied, “I just ain’t had nothing to say be fore.” u. s. o.
