Newspaper Page TextFleanor Roosevelt tß r collection Z&tSSS'oi&SZ ho “ r . „at the early Italian primi lookf g What a marvelous collection! rimed to me I had never seen many priceless treasures gath- Sed together in one place. Mr. Da- Tffinlev and his staff are particu ,l happy over the fact that they lave had between eight and nine thousand visitors daily. So, beauty ,'. s a ppeal to the American public. In the afternoon, I went to the concert at the Library of Congress to hear the Budapest String Quar tette which was a joy. On the next afternoon, I went to tea at Mrs. Florence Kerr’s with the regional directors for the WPA community service projects. As usual, I was impressed with the amount of valuable service which the bulk of the WPA projects render in every field of community life. fund appeal There seems to be one more fund appeal which cannot be ignored. It is the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund of the U. S. A. Inc. Their offices are at 515 Madison avenue, New York city and they are help ing the needy dependents of RAF pilots, punners and observers, who are killed or disabled in the per formance of their duty. I think all of us have been stirred by the extraordinary services of the RAF, and you will perhaps be inter ested to know that the royalties from the books written by Lawrence of Arabia, were willed by him some time before his death to this fund, which was founded in 1919. He, him self, enlisted as a mechanic in the RAF and was known in the service as Aircraftsman Shaw. One interesting thing about the fund is that neither in England nor in the United States, does a penny raised go to overhead. The neces sary administrative expense is car ried on by the small group of peo ple who were instrumental in set ting up the fund. Perhaps, because I like flying so much, I often think of that particu lar branch of the military services. I know that even in peace time pilots worry about the care of their fami lies in case they “go west.” The men who fly daily and nightly across the enemy lines may meet death almost any time. All we can do is to give them the assurance that those they leave behind will be cared for. DOCK THEATER In driving around the City of Charleston, S. C., I passed the Dock Street theater, which is one of the interesting buildings erected by WPA. The theater is charming and a real effort has been made, I un derstand, by certain people to re vive and present old plays. I have been told that they have been charm ingly done, but that the support is not really sufficient to warrant con tinuance of the effort. Audiences just do not attend, and so it may be nec essary to close the doors of the Dock Street theater. This seems a sad waste. It is hard to understand why, jn this city of great culture and taste, such a program as has been carried on is not successful finan cially.

By VIRGINIA VALE (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) VERONICA LAKE, the beau tiful blonde who’s expected to zoom to stardom as a result of her appearance in Para mount’s “I Wanted Wings,” doesn’t want wings right now all she wants is a chance to stay put right in Hollywood for a while. After finishing work in the pic ture—in which she plays a heart less vixen and provides tragic love interest—she flew to Montreal with her mother; she spent three days there, during which she made three personal appearances and four ra dio broadcasts. Her name was giv en to three babies, a new fox trot, a park and a military aerial maneu ver. Canadian fliers named it the “Veronica roll” in her honor. Then she headed for New York, where she spent a day, and then flew home —where it had been planned that P* Ik fral Hf jw jJiiiii VERONICA LAKE she’d be a feature attraction at the military aerial review at Randolph Field, Texas, staged as a prelude to the first showing of “I Wanted Wings.” “Broadway Limited,” which is be ing made at the Hal Roach studios for release through United Artists, promises to be one of the year’s most hilarious comedies. It’s a tale of a film star en route from the West coast to New York with her direc tor and her publicity man; the cast includes Victor McLaglen, (as a lo comotive engineer), Zasu Pitts, Pat sy Kelly and George Stone. Bette Davis received unexpected assistance the other day. For a scene in “The Bride Came C. O. D.” she was to walk down a flight of stairs, pause at the bottom, then rush into James Cagney’s arms. Just as she reached the bottom a lamp above her head sizzled loudly and shot out sparks; without look ing, she gave a surprised leap, and landed in Cagney’s arms. “Print it!” shouted Director William Keigh ley. “It’s perfect!” Incidentally, Miss Davis will have, in “The Little Foxes,” a role which might have been created for her. Tallulah Bankhead played it when the play had a long and successful run in New York, then took it on tour throughout the country. This will be the first time that Miss Davis has worked for Samuel Goldwyn, and the picture marks his resump tion of picture-making after a year of inafctivity. William Wyler, who directed “The Letter,” will direct, and the play is being adapted for the screen by its authv, Lillian Heilman. Melville Ruick, a radio theater an nouncer, has been one of radio’s top announcers since 1935, but mo tion picture casting directors per sist in seeing him as a typical or chestra leader. Be appeared in one in “Kitty Foyle,” the picture that brought Academy honors to Ginger Rogers, and has been cast as one in “Miami” his third such assign ment in a year. Bonita Granville has her most dramatic role in “The People vs. Dr. Kildare,” the latest of the Kil dare series; she’ll have to be on her toes, with Lionel Barrymore, Lew Ayres, Laraine Day and Red Skelton also present. There’s a new style in the air, thanks to Janet Logan and Barbara Fuller, the mythical stepmother stepdaughter team on the CBS day time serial, “Stepmother.” They used to check up on each other’s plans for a week ahead, to make sure of not wearing similar cos tumes. Then the stress laid on “mother - daughter” outfits gave them an idea; they wear clothes of similar design in contrasting shades —and fashion promoters are inter ested.

HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL, PERRY, GEORGIA IMPROVED^'” 1 "' UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAV I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D, Dean ot The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) S. S. Lesson for April 13 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International council of Religious Education; used by permission. CHRIST SHOWS HIMSELF ALIVE LESSON TEXT—Luke 24:13-17, 25-33. GOLDEN TEXT—I am he that liveth. and was dead; and, behold, X am alive for evermore.—Revelation 1 : 18. Certainty and assurance these are at the heart of our observance of Easter. We declare with Paul, “Now is Christ risen from the dead” (I Cor. 15:20), and that He is “de clared to be the Son of God with power ... by the resurrection from the dead” (Rom. 1:4). We would join the apostles who “with great power gave . . . witness of the res urrection of the Lord Jesus” (Acts 4:33). Someone may say, “That’s well enough for you who have faith in God, but I’m bewildered, uncertain, fearful, in a disordered world. What shall I do?” Come with us as, in our lesson, we join two men who had become bewildered, who felt that all their hopes had been crushed, that the future was only to be feared. We join them as they walk wearily along the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus. Suddenly there is Another with the little group. Let us listen to their conversation. First we find I. Holden Eyes and Slow Hearts (vv. 13-J7, 25, 26). The two sad men who had left Jerusalem to go to Emmaus were disciples of our Lord who had just been through the crushing experi ence of seeing Him crucified. Now, as the jeering mob held triumphant sway in the city, they left the dead Christ (as they supposed) in the tomb and went their way. True, there had been some reports on the morning of the third day that the women had seen Jesus alive (vv. 23, 24), but their hope and faith was at such low ebb that they could not —or did not—believe. Even when Jesus appeared to walk with them and question them, they did not know Him. Eyes closed by unbelief; faith hin dered by doubt and fear; a despond ent heart slow to believe God—how very effectively these shut out the blessing of God and of His Word, even to the believer. Even deeper is the darkness in which the un believer finds himself. But all is not lost; there is One here who can open unseeing eyes and warm cold hearts —even Jesus. 11. Burning Hearts and Opened Eyes (vv. 26-32). Although they did not realize it (how slow we are to appreciate our blessings!) until after He was gone (v. 32), their hearts began to burn within them as soon as He began to expound the Scriptures to them. What a Bible exposition that was, as Christ Himself opened all that the Scriptures taught concerning Him! Bible teachers have talked about, and it makes one’s heart burn just to read their suggestions (see for ex ample Morgan on Luke, page 278). Little wonder that these men were “strangely warmed” as they lis tened. The way to have a burning heart is to read God’s Word or to have it expounded by a Spirit-fillod teacher or preacher. Especially is there blessing in reading and studying what the sacred Book teaches about our blessed Lord. With the heart “strangely warmed,” as John Wesley described his Aldersgate experience, comes the opened eye. “They knew him” (v. 31) in the breaking of the bread. Perhaps they saw the scar in His hand, or possibly they identified a familiar gesture or something in His voice; but until their hearts were warmed they did not see. Paul knew that truth when he declared: “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (I Cor. 2:14), Some reader who has trouble be lieving in the resurrection will find the problem solved when he meets Christ and has his heart changed in regeneration. What follows? 111. Quickened Feet and Glad Tes timony (vv. 33-35). The seven miles (sixty furlongs, v. 13) which had passed so slowly were now quickly retraced. They had glorious good news to bring to the disciples at Jerusalem. How swift are the feet of the one who has good tidings to bear (see Rom. 10:15). One wonders why so many professed Christians are so slow about carrying His message. Can it be that they do not yet know the risen Christ? For if we know Him, surely “we do not well” to keep silent in a day of good tidings (II Kings 7:9). Note in verse 34 that before they could speak, the others gave them the good news of the resurrection. It is proper and delightful that be j lievers share spiritual blessings (Rom. 1:11, 12). That’s why we come together in God’s house. Brother in the Lord, Christian sis ter, how long is it since you had a new and stirring experience of the presence of Christ? Not necessarily spectacular or exciting, but a real spiritual experience. Let’s ask Him for it! I MTfTmsx l A DRESS that’s complete in it self and smart for general Wear.

Wise gardeners pick bouquets of favorite annuals like Marigold, Zinnia, Petunia, Sweet Peas and Snapdragon with systematic regu larity, for the picking promotes continued blooming. Periodic trimming is not best for such small, low-growing edging flowers as Alyssum. A complete cutting, however, will benefit this type of plant. This treatment may be applied to Ageratum, Linaria, Lobelia, and Ncmesia as well as Alyssum. Pinks, Cynoglossum, and Dwarf Bedding Rust Resistant Snap dragon are grown both for cutting and for garden beauty, but they too will profit by a thoroughgoing “haircut” such as that prescribed for the smaller, edging favorites. It is advisable to pick the flow ers of certain popular perennials when they are in their prime, to prevent their running to seed, and to promote the production of a sec ond crop of blossoms in a single season. Delphinium, Sweet Wil liam, Coreopsis, Perennial Di anthus, and Pyrethrum should be handled in this manner. 4.
