Between the optimist who believes the War will* end' in a few months and the pessimist who thinks it will last ten to twenty years, is the com mon sense view that the war will end when America is fully mobilized and ready for offensive action.

Veronica Lake, Robert Taylor At The Dixie Saturday at the Dixie finds Tex Ritter and his horse, “White Flash,” in “Take Me Back to Oklahoma” with Bob Wills, his fiddle and his Texas playboys. Father and son are dou ble-dating in “Double Date” with Edmund Lowe, Una Merkel, Peggy Moran and Rand Brooks. Monday and Tuesday brings Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake in a brand new story of a millionaire who turned to hitch-hiking for the love ■of it in “Sullivan’s Travels.” Mc- Crea as a rich playboy catches the wander-lust and travels many miles via the upturned thumb method, and in and along one memorable miles runs into love and danger in the person of Miss Lake, whose beau teous face is still hidden by her hair do. It all adds up to splendid entertainment, howeVer, and all will agree that the picture is aptly nam ed. Rosalind Russell, a product of the state of Alabama, and Walter Pidgeon combine their talents, both sartorial and cinematic, Wednesday to bring you “Design for Scandal,” another modern show for modern people. “Design for Scandal” will take you back stage on some of the most delicious gossip you ever heard and show you just how tragic the foolish words of a few can be. Robert Taylor and Lana Turner are starred Thursday and Friday in “Johnny Eager,” the top dramatic hit of the year. The story is thrill packed with drama and action, and tells of a cultured girl who sacri fices everything—position, wealth and friends— on the altar of love for a racketeer who was not only crooked but cruel to the very core. The love scenes are unusual and will not be easily forgotton, in fact they are the best of the new season. ¥ ACREAGE IN PASTURE Reports from the Georgia Agri cultural Extension Service show that 62,000 acres of permanent pasture were sown daring 1941, not to men tion 40,000 acres cleared or reclear ed but not sown, and 100,000 acres reworked by fertilizing, liming, plow ing, or combinations of these im provement practices. GROWING TREES Trees, like other crops, require some httention if they are to yield the highest returns. Foresters of the Agricultural Extension Service tell us that trees need to be pro tected from fire and to be properly harvested. However, unlike most crops, trees require no cultivation, no fertilizer, and only a small amount of care. TRACTOR SAFETY A tractor up-set may cost a limb or a life, so don’t forget that over turning is four times as likely when tractor speed is doubled. ists of the Agricultural Extension Service urge farmers to be sure to go slow when working rough ground or along ditches. DON’T DO THIS Don’t plant a garden and dream of baskets full of fresh vegetables while the weeds grow. Without work they can become the major crop in your garden. Don’t start a victory garden and let the insects win the victory. A dust-gun and a good brand of garden dust are the things you will need to fight them, says El mo Ragsdale, Georgia Extension Ser vice horticulturist. SPACING FOR POTATOES Proper planting distance for sweet potatoes is usually considered about 33 to 38 inches between rows and from 14 to 16 inches between plants in the row, according to recommen dations of the Agricultural Extension Service. At this spacing, about 10,- 000 to 12,000 plants will be required to set an acre. About 14 pounds of manganese are needed to produce a ton of steel. CHOOSING A MATE Consideration of many factors is necessary in connection with mar riage, says the Agricultural Exten sio Service. Yet it is apparent that many rural young couples give little thought to the appropriate circum stances until the “knot has been tied.” Then often it is difficult to make the best of the situation. SPACING TREES A general rule which will aid in obtaining proper spacing of trees, says the Agricultural Extension Ser vice, is to add four to the diameter of the biggest trees, expressed in inches, and use this figure as the TYPEWRITER RIBBONS COST LESS —AT— Jones Office Supply Company Your choice of two nationally advertised rib bons, Underwood Elliott Fisher and Mittag and Volger, all sizes and makes, at the following low prices: All Standard Machines, All Portables, Blue, Blue or Black— Black, red Sc black 75c 60c Carbon paper and typewriter paper to meet your requirements.
