TEENS AND TWENTIES CLUB HOLDS MEETING The regular meeting of the Teens anti Twenties club of Adams county was held In the high rchool building here Tuesday night, with the snb-1 Ject for discussion, “Hobbies'”. The meeting was opened by Boyq Stepler. the president, who conducted a short business session. Miss Juanita Lehman led In the singing of a number of songs. The program was under the dlrec tion of Miss Betty TricJter, who called upon the members to give their hobbles, or hobbies of other persons. Among those discussed wer? maintaining of a herd of Guernsey cows, collections of snapshots and pictures from newspapers and magazines. wood carving, history, and growing white mice. Special music was furnished by a two-man band composed of Herman andand Irvin Innlger. At the next meeting of the club, a debate will he held. The subject will be determined by the debaters and will be announced later. The Adams county nurses’ association will meet with the Misses Beulah Barkley and Ruth Stuckey at 320 South Calhoun street in Fort | Wayne Tuesday. March 15, at sev-en-thirty o’clock. MR. AND MRS. EARL CHASE ENTERTAIN A. B. C. CLASS The A. B. C. class of tne Union Chapel Sunday school met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Chase Tuesday evening. Each member came dressed as a child and roll call ■was answered with a Biblical quotation concerning children. Prayer was said by Mrs. Stacy Shaw, followed with a song by the class. An account of the origin of St. Patrick’s Day was given by Ruth Walter. Sylvester Everhart gave an interesting explanation of the viriation of the date of Easter. A round table discussion of the changing of the presidential inau guration from March 4 to January 28 was led by ißev. Stacy Shaw. During the social hour, games

and Charles Homburg, and Pauline Starke and George Sherw’ood. To offset all this, the film colony could point to only one marriage— June Clayworth and Sid Rogell—unless you count the remarriage of Stan Laurel and his Illeana. Relatives of stars also made it a lively month in the courts. Martha Raye’s father, Peter Reed, sued for an accounting of her earnings up until her twenty-first birthday and slapped a $150,000 action against Peter Baumann. Later, he asked that the divorce decree of Martha's mother be voided. Eleanore Whitney's 43-year-old lawyer father asked for a $25-a-week allowance and the suit was settled. The grandmother of Tommy Kelly, Hollywood's new Tom Sawyer, demanded that his father increase her allowance. Freddie Bartholomew was relieved of paying his relatives $20,000 this year. You can’t beat the ingenuity of the Irish. Tom Moriarty, a Hollywood character actor (he played "Young O’Brien" in "Parnell”) will never be happy unless he plays Scarlett O’Hara's father in G. W. . T. W. He decided upon an organized campaign to get the role. So, starting with his parish priest, he appealed to every one he knows to write letters to Selznick. We don’t know how he is coming out, but Selznick has received more than 1,100 letters suggesting Moriarty for the part. Isn’t this a record of some kind ? Arleen Whelan, who still has to be seen in a picture, was offered SI,OOO for a radio broadcast —and turned it down. . . .

Mr., Roosevelt said that he would seek J only facts rather than opinions from the directors. Friends of the 1 TVA said that they had nothing to! fear by exposure of all the facts. > "If President Roosevelt makes public after his conference the text I of testimony or statements given; him. I think it might end the j whole thing without a formal investigation,” Norris said after his ; address. “In that way, we can protect the TVA.

!ceptance of Norris’ resolution for a federal trade commlsison invest!i gation of TVA. said that he would answer Norris In the senate this afternoon. "Since congress ’created the TVA,” he said, "it should have the ! right to do the investigating. The only reason they are afraid of an | investigation Is that they think it might develop into another Tea I Pot Dome scandal. "The charges by Chairman Mor--1 gan alone are enough to warrant i inquiry by congress and If there is i nothing rotten about the TVA its supporters should not be afraid of! a congressional Investigation." King said that the White House conference could not affect that 1 resolution for an Inquiry. "I am unwilling to vote another dollar for TVA until I know what ■ .it is doing. I am unwilling to have I ■ the TVA destroy our private utili- ] ties," he said I Meantime, most members of | 1 congress avoided the controversy ' pending outcome of the White I House conference. Chairman Roy j al S. Copeland, D.. N. Y., of the ■ senate commerce committee, had 1 scheduled a meeting today to report the King Bridges resolution but decided to delay. Bridges told reporters that among data he would present to the senate was information from I the general accounting office that | 1 th« TVA allegedly spent irregularly {around $10.0V0,000 in 1937 in addi-1 i tion to the some $5,000,000 in other | years as previously charged. It was emphasized however that the j TVA had not yet been given opportunity to answer these charges. ‘ At TVA headquarters in Knoxville, Tenn., the authority charged in a formal statement that the U.
