Hann, and Mrs. Hann are engaged now in repairing and rebinding books from the county school library. There are about 4,000 books in this department, used over the county at the discretion of the teachers. As might be expected, the books most popular with the bbys and girls get hard usage and need attention if they are to be continued in use.

Walter Pidgeon put* la Na kail! all the time.” “Hey,” Gable calls to me, “ you print that, I wasn’t evea there when he said it.” ■ t Out on the back lot at Twentieth Century-Fox, “ThO Enchanted Voyage" company is working on the banks of a Louisiana bayou, You’d think you were there, the imitation is so good. Real Louisiana moss hangs from the trees. The company brought 20 bales of it back from the location near New Orleans. Floating patches of green paint look exactly like slime on the stagnant water. • John Payne and June Haver are not working today. Director Lloyd Bacon is shooting a scene with John Ireland, George Cleveland and a little girl named Connie Marshall. Bacon brought some good stories back from location. The troupe wanted to do a scene with a tollbridge. The natives protested. The late Huey Long, they said, had done away with toll-bridges in Louisiana. Bacon had an awful time explaining to them that the movies occasionally take a certain amount of dramatic license. While in New Orleans, Bacon urged Mayor Frank Mestero to use the radio to make re-election speeches. , , The mayor’s reply was a classic. He said to Bacon: “Look at Hitler and Mussolini. They talked on the radio, didn’t they?" While Director Henry Koster Is lining up a big theater shot for “Two Sisters From Boston, I talk with Kathryn Grayson in her dressing room. Kathryn is terribly disappointed that this picture isn t in technicolor. The costumes and sets were designed for it, but there is a bottle-neck of technicolor equipment and it was a question of shooting the picture in black and white or waiting so long that M-G-M couldn’t hold the cast I find out why Kathryn is such a hit in technicolor. It’s the natural bloom of her skin. In fact her cheeks naturally are so red that they photograph purple in technicolor. She has to use makeup to tone them down. And, even with this, if she blushes, the scene is ruined.

Urges Army Planes To Ease Travel Jam Urges 1,000 Planes Return From Europe Washington, July 25 —-(UP)— The army was urged today to rush 1,000 passenger type planes back from Europe to help relieve the nation’s transportation jam. Tlie proposal came from chairman Jameri M. Mead, I)., N. Y., of the senate war investigating committee with a promise that he would seek quick action by the air forces. Mead, whose committee is investigating the transportation crisis caused by troop redeployment, .said the 1,000 planes were surplus and could be used to “augment” civilian airline service. After two days of committee hearings on the transportation jam, Mead sent investigators around to four government agencies to work out away to find the 75,000 new railroad workers which the office of defense transportation i-ays are needed “now.” The chairman said he was convinced that manpower was the key to the rail crisis. He pledged ODT director J. Monroe Johnson that the committee would do everything possible to find the needed help. Meanwhile, it was learned that about 35 per cent of the country’s Pullman reservations, aside from those held for troop ui?e, are virtually tied up by the government reservation bureau. The bureau, a eort of “super” federal travel agency, was set up early in 1942 to assure travel space for army, navy, war production board and office of price administration personnel on urgent war business. The army is the biggest customer. Under an arrangement with the Pullman Co., the bureau bookblocks a certain amount of train space every day for official travel, releasing unused reservations before train time so they can be purchased by others. 0 Stream Improvement Week Is Proclaimed Copies of Governor Ralph Gates’ proclamation proclaiming the week of August 13 to 20 as stream improvement week, have been received here. Governor Gatos urges that steps be taken in every community to correct river pollution. He stated, “The fact Indiana ranks 21st in the United States in stream pollution control with only 5-1.7 percent of our urban pollution being served with sewage treatment, is, I feel, perhaps’a bad showing on thfe part of the state.” The stream pollution control boq,rd of Indiana has ordered many citfpis, including Decatur, to abate and correct the pollution of itis rivers. An order was issued last Septemper to the city to correct the pollution of the St. Mary’s river and preliminary steps are being taken locally toward the construction of a sewage disposal plant.

DISCHARG£SYSTEM (Continued From Pago One) i7~8»39. Thy navy estimated that 30,600 reservists — 11,600 officers and 19.000 enlisted men — would be eligible for release under the system by December. However, since the plan is continuous, discharges will go on after (hat as men accumulate necessary points. Discharges will begin immediately but there may be delays of up to six months to prevent impairment of efficiency. The system applies to both men and women reserve officers and enlisted personnel in the navy and coast guard. A similar system is reportedly under consideration by the marines. Regular navy officers, with the exception of those with a’regular status of enlisted man and serving as officers only temporarily, are ineligible. Reserve officers of the medical, dental and chaplain corps are excluded until personnel shortages are overcome. The navy emphasized that the plan is not in any sense a partial demobilization measure. Navy strength will be kept up to its authorized peak of 3,389,000 officers and men until Japan's defeat. The purpose is to relieve older men with long; service and replace them with younger material. The minimum 53-point score applies to reserve officers of the line, enlisted reservists and to navy inductees and enlisted regulars serving during the war under expired enlistments. Scores of 55 and 57 apply to reserve officers of the supply and civil engineers corps because these branches have fewer officers.
