FROM THE PRESIDENT MESSAGE
ON THE NEW YEAR
"So let us continue to give mow
tf food, of money, of beauty. The
cut-of-school character-developing or
ganization of boys and girls, the
charitable organization, the health
u storing institutions, all providing
for human needs, must be supported
Perhaps our first task as a home and
school group is to provide those ne
cessities which make it possible to
keep children in school, fed and
clothed; after that there will always
be further community needs in which
we may co-operate.
Then we shall make possible the
greatest human need—a sense of se
curity.
MARY L. LONGWORTHY,
President, National Congress of Par
ents and Teachers.
A NEW YEAR PRAYER
Dear Lord, I do not ask for ease,
As I walk with the coming year
And seek the mystic melodies
That gratify both heart and ear,
Put I would hearken to the need
Of him who tramps the road with
me,
And, leaning to his wounds that
bleed,
Lo, I would ease his agony!
Dear Lord, I do not ask for fame,
For store of silver, gleaming gold
To glorify my humble name,
Since these are things we cannot

So it doesn’t pay to let our thoughts go wool-gathering. Asa matter ol

Give to your parents deference.
Give to everybody sunshine.”

musical film abounds in catchy tunes
and hilarious comedy, and is de
lightfully presented by an all star
cast including Adolphe Menjou ano
Louise Fazenda.

and Miss Fazenda and Adolphe Men
jou render outstanding comedy per
l'oramnces that caused endless peaL
of laughter.
The story revolves about Dick
Powell, as a New York taxicab driv
er, in his efforts to launch upon a
singing career. In this ambition he is

ion from busy Manhattan to dreamy
Venice where Powell is pressed into
service as a gondolier. Miss Fazen
da and Joan Blondelle are encount
ered here by the erstwhile cab driver
and tutor, and the love interest is
started.
The climax sees the romantic en
tanglements all sstraightened out,
but how this comes about is what
furnishes a most unusual finish for
this extremely enjoyable ',piece of
screen entrtainment.
Other members of the exclient
cast include Ray Walker, Florine
McKinney, Lucien Littlefield, Brad
ley Page, Lois Wilson, Oscar Apfel
and Kenneth Harlan.
