Mr. Roose velt gave a plain warning in strong language, but he people still need to be stirred up to a full apprecia tion of what it all really means. This country has been in an atmosphere of marathon waltzing, express speedways, de luxe settings, special upholstery and bottle feeding for so many years that too many people still think it’s a sacrifice to get up the first time the alarm goes off instead of waiting for the repeat. Luke— l guess maybe you’re right.

By VIRGINIA VALE (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) TWO April weddings in the Hollywood movie colony are still topics for conversation, one because it was so conventional, for Hollywood, the other be cause it was so unusual for that colony and just the accepted thing anywhere else. The Yuma marriage of Constance Bennett and Gilbert Roland was Hol lywoodian. It was Miss Bennett’s fourth marriage, they drove to Yuma by themselves and the clergy man had to supply witnesses. The other, Deanna Durbin’s marriage to Vaughn Paul, was a big church wed ding, very beautiful, and motion pic ture stars who were friends of the bride and groom were invited but not featured as part of the perform ance. An achievement, in Holly wood! Rudy Vallee is ready to chuck his career and undertake a new one at the drop of a mega i ; • phone.

He’s Rudy Vallee even bought a home in Beverly Hills to be near the center of the movie busi ness. During the next few months there will be a virtual parade of film play ers to the Latin-American countries. Spencer Tracy and Eleanor Powell are slated for good-will visits; Doug las Fairbanks Jr. will be a sort of good-will ambassador, and Marsha Hunt plans on spending six weeks in South America after she’s finished “Blossoms in the Dust.” “Citizen Kane,” Orson Welles’ first RKO Radio production, aroused plenty of controver- sy long before it was released, and will be one of those I pictures that people 1 will argue about years after they’ve * % - lii seen it. It may not w be the best picture , J. ever made, but cer tainly it is one of || "" the best—but there § iiiii are those who main- ® - illi tain that it should Orson Welles never have been made at all. Welles himself scores superbly as writer, actor and pro ducer; the rest of the cast is so good that you forget that they’re acting. The first day she appeared on the “Manpower” set Marlene Dietrich announced that she’d take whatever punishment the script asked George Raft to hand her. That included his slapping her twice across the face, knocking her down a flight of stairs, then leaping after her and hitting her across the mouth with the back of his hand. But George hit her harder than he intended, Marlene tumbled down the stairs (as per script), but wound up by severely spraining her ankle (which the script did not call for!). Two more well known stage and screen players—Martha Sleeper and William Harrigan—have joined the cast of “We Are Always Young,” Mutual chain’s star-studded serial. That cast probably includes more “name” actors than any other se rial on the air; among them are Jessie Royce Landis, Linda Wat kins, Margalo Gilmore, Joe Laurie Jr., Horace Braham, Pert Kelton, George Coulouris, and William Jan ney, who’s starred. Andy Hardy’s own, a squadron of RAF fighters, will soon take to the air. Mickey Rooney, the Hardy se ries “Andy,” received a letter the other day from a young RAF flier who wrote “We’re all young fellows in this squadron and we all think you’re an o. k. sert of lad, so we’ve nicknamed our squadron (soon to see action) for you.” Stirling Hayward lost Madeleine Carroll in “Virginia,” but he's slat ed to win her in “Dildo Cay.” As originally planned, it was Dorothy Lamour whom he was to win, but she will be unable to finish her current assignment in “Aloma of the South Seas” in time to appear in the pictsre.

HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL, PERRY, GEORGIA S ® SSS *~IMPROVED—’ UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY | chool Lesson By HAROLD L, LUNDQUIST, D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute , of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) S. S. Lesson for May 11 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lectsd and copyrighted by International Lou,.cil of Religious Education; used by permission. THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HOME REGARDING BEVERAGE ALCOHOL LESSON TEXT—Deuteronomy 6:4-7; Jer emiah 35:5-10. GOLDEN TEXT—Train up a child In the way he Should go; and when he is old. he will not depart from it. —Proverbs 22:6. The responsibility of the home re garding liquor is primarily that of providing a place for children to grow up under proper principles and practice. That means that the home should be a Christian home, where both parents follow Christ in life as well as profession. Young people about to establish a new home should give themselves with out reservation to Christ. Those who began their home as a Chris tian home, but who have drifted through carelessness or unbelief, should renew their devotion to Christ. America needs many things, but first and foremost stands its need of real Christian homes. I. Preparing to Meet Temptation (Deut. 6:4-7). Temptations will come, and when they do it will be too late to prepare a defense against them. We are all “defense conscious” these days. We have seen in the sad events of the last year that there must be ade quate preparation in advance if we are to withstand the enemy. That is doubly true in the realm of the moral and spiritual. We must build moral fiber and appreciation of spir itual things into the lives of our boys and girls from their infancy. How? 1. By a Consistent Example (vv. 5-6). Only the father (or mother) who loves the Lord with ail his be ing and who has permitted God’s Word to enter into his heart will set the right example. It is well to know something about child psychology, about the principles of rearing chil dren, etc., but these, without a right relationship to God, are cold and powerless. But let the parents walk before their children in earnest Christian living, let them honor God’s Word in their lives and in the home, and they will lay the finest foundation for Christian character in their children. 2. By Correct Teaching (v. 7). The parent should make the teach ing of God’s Word to children a mat ter of first importance. It is to be expected that the children will be in church and Sunday school with their parents (notice the word “with”—it’s not enough to send them), but that is not sufficient. Blessed and fruitful is that home life in which the Word of God is a normal and easy topic of conversa tion, where spiritual things are dis cussed intelligently and without re straint. Every home can be that kind of a home, if the parents will do what they know they should do about it. 11. Standing in the Hour of Temptation (Jer. 35:5-10), As a protest against the heathen dom, the intemperance, and corrup tion of the city life of his day, Jona dab instructed his house or tribe to live an itinerant life and, above all, not to touch wine. We are not called to imitate in detail their way of living, but rather to learn from them the principles of consistent temperance. 1. Remembrance (vv. 6,7). Jere miah was sent to test the Rechabites (not to tempt them to fall) by offer ing them wine, but to them it was a real temptation. They met it promptly and without fear, because they had in their hearts and minds the teaching of their “father” Jona dab. Blessed is the boy or girl who in the lone and trying hour of temp tation is not confused by the nega tive or unchristian example of par ents, but who at once has a vision of a God-fearing father and mother, and a remembrance of their faithful teaching of God’s standards of life. 2. Obedience (vv. 8-10). Here again is a lesson which must be learned from the tender years of babyhood, but which bears glorious fruit in the days of young manhood and womanhood. The parent who does not tactfully, kindly, but with al, firmly, teach children to obey has undermined their life in ad vance. The Rechabites loyally obeyed the word of their founder, and passed their hour of testing with flying col ors. They had his example, they knew his teaching, and life itself had proved to them that they were in the right way. A closing word. The liquor in terests are concerned because the consumption of beer is rapidly fall ing off and because most of their customers are “elderly or middle aged.” They are spending tremen dous sums in advertising to “get the beer drinking habit instilled in thou sands, almost millions, of young men who do not at present know the taste of beer.” That is their avowed aim. Shall they be permitted to put it across? Not if Christian people will put the influence of the American home squarely where it ought to be— against the liquor traffic.

After a pause, Willie asked; “Well, what are we made of?” “Dust and earth, my son.” “My,” said Willie, “they must have made a whacking big hole when they took you out!” INDIGESTION may ailed tho Heart Oan trapped In tho stomach or gullet may act llko a Imlr-trlgger «n tho heart.
