Studio is now enjoying hearty laugh, tor the man who made the most extra money from this source in 1938 is Fred Schlatter, the studio’s Swiss gardener. , We like Peter Lorre’s squelch to the studio ribbers who were kidding him about his eccentric-look-ing pan. "I know I am not pretty,’’ said Peter in that sly, quiet way of his “but this last week, on Hollywood boulevard, I have given coffee and doughnut money to four of the handsomest guys you’ve ever seen." Lorre, who seems destined to an endless portrayal of Mr. Moto, is really a serious fellow whose life ambition is to play two roles: the Hunchback in “The Hunchback of • Notre Dame” and Napoleon.

Serving the people of Decatur for forty years! That statement in itself is impressive, but think what it really means. During each one of those years, the ZWICK organization has conducted many, many funerals, multiplying essential experience by the hundreds of times. Is it any wonder that an organization with such a harvest of experience can provide so excellent a service for a very moderate charge? ConBidering the progressive spirit of this community institution, in addition to its vast experience, one can truthfully say that ZWICK Service is the finest it is possible to give — every day.

HOLIDAY DEATH ! TOLL NEAR 500 Final Figure Expected To Approximate 500 Deaths (By United Press) The new year left a trail of violent death across the nation which today saw the number of reported victims rising toward the 500 mark. In the aftermath of the threeday holiday, a survey showed at i least 435 deaths from accidents, fires, suicides and slayings and inI dicated the figure probably would reach the approximate total ofi 500 recorded for last week’s Christi mas holiday. I Deaths were reported from the ! District of Columbia and all states | except Idaho, New Hampshire, North Dakota. New Mexico and Vermouth. Traffic fatalities scj counted for 250 of the total.

New York reported 53 dead to lead all states. Illinois listed 46 and California 34. j Strangely, suicides accounted for more of metropolitan New York’s fatalities than the automobile. Ten persons committed suicide yesterday to bring the total for the week-end to an all-time record of 29. Twenty-two persons died in automobile accidents. Most of the suicides chose gas; one died of strangulation; another, a physician, waited in a hotel room until the stroke of midnight New Year's eve then fired a bullet through his heart. Two deaths occurred in coal ; mines. One miner suffocated in a ! blazing shaft at Clinton, Ind., and another was killed in an explosion in a McKeesport, Pa., mine. A tenant farmer was shot to death at Tupelo, Miss., when he and his 80-year-old mother engaged in a gun battle with officers attempting to evict them from their home. j Two amateur pilots died in air- | plane crashes in lowa, and two others died in a plane crash at j Gardner, Ill.; five persons burned I to death in a hotel fire at Rumford, Me.; and a steel worker, celebrating New Year's eve at DeKalb, 111., shot and killed a tavern owner "just for fun.” oWinchester Pastor Leading Services Rev.
