GOOD MORN XO XA And no nope you're strictly “just my si^e", (.u.A. to you; can’t nerp but reel good to know Uiat tbe scnooi doors will open Monday as tliis is a good indication tnat all tbe vacation folks have returned to the berg and things will soon De solidly'111’thegroove. The teachers and scholars who have been away on vacates, have returned. Orchids to Misses Mildred Adams and Gertie Gracey for having hung up such impressive records so as to be the proud recipients of the appointments to the Lincoln faculty. Yes, Miss Priestley returns, too, but I didn’t note the name of Miss Lydia Shane—we wonder if she will again teach for the next nine months? From all reports of ’38 and ’39, her record as an instructor at Lincoln was quite injpressive. DO YA BELIEVE IT? They were talking so I did an easing act that naturally required that I open the ears a bit wider, this I very easily did and listened as the speaker continued, “I met a tall lite brown skinned fem there (talking about Toledo) and she inquired of me, ‘do you know a young man who formerly resided near Evansville until he was promoted to a city in the B state?’ to this I readily replied, ‘yes’—then says she, ‘see this beautiful sparkler on my finger? ‘Tis an indication of our engagement and forthcoming marriage. At the present time he is vacationing, he asked that I accompany him but at the time my social service would not permit my withdrawal from work.”

Axe me if 1 wasn’t knocked cold, put one never knows, does one? ... William “Bill” Moore, the local lad who really thump heaps of bass, took off with King Perdue’s great band the other dark. King’s reguar bull fiddler is in the hospital, but here’s odds that once the Moore hits the solid stride, it won’t be a recalling of the other cat. King plays on the steamer Idlewild and hails from Derby town (Louisville). DO YA BELIEVE IT? Paul “Flash” Gill, the mighty athlete of Derbyville but now of Naptown, blew into the city last week-end in his flashy Deluxe model Fort( V-8 that wa s sure sharp . . . several of the more cats on the sharp side accompanied him and they took the beig by storm, .gal, gals were all over them - and some lovely ones, too . . . spied the party at the Dade Park races and they say that some of the good mounts trained by Flash’s unk, stabled at the track, came in for flash and paid him some good dough . . . The party turned over a a couple of times ’tween Patoka and Vincennes on the return trip, but very FORTUNATELY, no one was hurt to any serious degree . . . the car was damaged only slightly. HERE’S ONE THAT’S A

KILLER!

BOOK REVIEWS

ADULT FICTION THE BRANDONS—Angela Thir-

kell.

Even though she has a grownup son and daughter, Mrs. Brandon^ the heroine of this story, cannot help attracting men of all ages, who are apt to express their devotion by reading aloud to her, but never get as far as declaring their feelings because she never understands what they are saying. Dangling before her relations her fortune tjhat no one wants, old Aunt Sissie at Biandon Abbey is a real and alarming person, and the romance of her long-suffering companion, though slight, is touched with sympathetic skill. Young Mr. Grant, oppressed by his Italianate mother and his devotion to Mrs. Brandon has our exasperated sympathy until his thoughts are turned elsewhere. In this novel the characterization is both accurate and subtle, and the style in both vivid descriptions and in conversations continually sparkles With humor. UNCLE CALEB’S NIECE—Lida-

Larrimore.

ing and gracious as any of them had it not been for the tremendous responsibiltiy she had assumed in proving to Unde Caleb that the Merrill s oould stand on their own feet. She intended to see that they did, even if it meant sacrificing the things she’d dreamed of for years, even if it meant losing Bill—Bill, who had character, but who seemed so obviously impressed with Linda’s vivacity and charm—Bill who pitied her when all she really wanted was his sympathy.

There are many tables, with masonite tops and trimmed in chrome with comfortable chairs. The tables are equipped with individual- matches and tray holders^ combined and nap-

kin holders.

There are large oscillating fans that keep the place air-cool-ed at all times and L. Berman and Company has installed one of their latest remote control systems that enables one to enjoy music from any point in the tavern. The culinary department is manned by Mrs. Theresa Morton and Mrs. Jeanette Roberts. There is a dummy elevator located at the rear of the tavern which connect sthe kitchen to the tavern. Albert “Al” Hall, the owner of the beautiful tavern, started from a small cafe business on Linclon avenue and today his tavern stands as a monument to careful and. tactful management. His wife, Mrs. Agnes Hall is the cashier and the other' employees include:— Claude Wjurren, Charles Decker, Kenneth Jackson and .Raymond Thurman.

Mrs. Roosevelt Addresses Group POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., (CN A)—In a direct and unequivocal reply to the question of a Negro girl, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, wife of the President, told sixty boy and girl students from this country and abroad that the persecution of the Jews in Germany

and the Negro people in this country was inherently similar. Mrs. Roosevelt spoke to the group of students at the first Work Camp for Democracy in West Park, N. Y., opposite Poughkeepsie, as they swarmed about her to tell her what they were learning of democracy. She was eager to know. Negroes and Jews are both minority groups, Mrs. Roosevelt pointed out in reply to a question whether there was not a similarity of attitudes towards Jews in Germany and the Negro people in the United States. The possibility of likeness in prejudices both groups encounter was inherent, whereas the problem of democracies was to make all groups work together, the First Lady declared.

How about the American people? They revere Washington, but they love Lincoln. How do we know? Because they weep at the Lincoln plays.
