guy Maestro Freddy Martin really is. The band leader’s life is like a scenario. He grew up in a Knights of Pythias orphanage in Ohio, worked his way through a year at Ohio State and then went to Finland, where he played for a year in, of -'ll things, a military band that was supposed to be 100 per cent Finnish. Quite an Horatio Alger twist for Martin now to be leading his own orchestra in the Cocoanut Grove and other smart spots of the land A John Burroughs high school boy named Skipper Daley had this experience, which is the new year's top for coincidence. Young Daley went into a barber shop. As they were getting ready to give him the works, he said: "If I don’t come out of this looking like Tyrone Power, I’m going to demand my money back.” There was one other customer in the shop—a man with a hot towel ever his face. He sat up and said: “I demand your money back for you.” It was Tyrone Power. Bette- Davis’ four weeks’ vacation—until they need her again in “Juarez”—will really be a rest. She’s going to La Quinta and her only companion will be Margaret Donovan, her hair dresser. Bette Grable was with her mama and papa at Stage I, with Jackie Coogan nowhere in sight . . .

FORMER BANKER i UNDER ARREST Donald Harter Os Peru Faces Federal Embezzlement Charge | Peru, Ind., Jan 17.— (U.R) Donald M. Harter, former vice president and secretary of the Wabash <■ Valley Trust company, today faced a federal charge of embezzling ■ 6285.000. Harter wus freed after tils arrest yesterday on a 110,000 I bond. A member of the banking -flrrp from the time he began work as 1 a messenger in 1914 until he re- • signed last December, Harter is accused of false entry, misappropriation and embezzlement.

He retained Russell I Rhodes, former state American Legion commander, as counsel. Rhodes declined to discuss the ' ease until after he had absorbed the text of the indictment. For years a trusted employe of 1 the bank. Harter was asked to resign by its directors in December. , Dr. C. O. Wainscott, president of I the Trust Company, said in a statement that knowledge of Harter's alleged acts came to the attention of the directors shortly after Dec. 15.

Woman to Woman By Mary Morris

More years ago than I like to think about (being a woman!) I started my study of advertising. One of the first thngs which impressed me was the frequency with which the word "service" cropped up in copy. It seems there is no real synonym for the word — and it’s the pass-word of good business of the funeral director. Without using the word "service” it would be almost Impossible for me to tell you I anythng about the ZWICK Funeral Home for example; all their activities are centered about the thought of service to the public.

Some observers have believed that Daludier encouraged u more sympathetic attitude toward the loyalists because of Italy's campaign for French concessions in the Mediterranean). SENATE VOTES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONO Roosevelt once stated that "the measure of a man's sincerity is not what he says but what he does.” “What confidence can the people have In a man who has acted in such Fashion?” the Senator asked. The senator charged that Murphy drew salary as high commissioner ; to the Phillippines while he was campaigning for governor of Michigan. He also accused Murphy of “Communistic activities and associations." He read from a publication i entitled “New South," which endorsed Murphy for President in 1940. "This is a communist jurnal” he said. * • Adams County Memorial Hospital • « Admitted — Richard Drake, 516 Short Street; Mrs. Cora King. New Corydon; Mrs. Don Sheets, Dixon.
