The Country Doctor a a a a a a A Novelization of the Twentieth Century-Fox Film,, Starring the Dionne Quintuplets With Jean Hersholt, Dorothy Peterson, June Lang, Michael Whalen and Slim Summerville.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Dr. Jnhn Luke, country doctor In the little north woods orttlrmcnt of Moosetown. receives sn emergency ell to the lumber mill when Mike Scanlon, lumberman. la crushed under a fallen lo(, Mike has a close call. Is obliged to stay behind when the mill crew leaves at the end of the season. Storms Isolate Moosetown. breaking telegraph and telephone connections. Then a diphtheria epidemic strikes the community. Father Bonel, parish priest, and Dr. Luke convert the church into an isolation hospital. Mike Sranlan. who. since his injury, has been tinkering with a radio set. tries to get a message through to Montreal, to have antitoxin sent by plane. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORK CHAPTER FOUR MINUTE followed long minute in the little room. There was no sound but Mike's droning voice, "CQ. CQ.— any amateur, especially Montreal . . .” “Don’t you hear ANYTHING?” pleaded Dr. Luke. Mike made a gesture for silence. “CQ, CQ . . .” he repeated, and listened more intently. Then from his receivers came a voice, strained and faraway, but audible, barely audibie. “CQ. Go ahead!” it said. “Ive got it! I’ve got it!” cried Mike wildly. The faraway voice droned a station number. “Quick! Take it! It’s Montreal!” whispered Mike. Fumbling clumsily, nervously, his skillful hands all thumbs for once, Dr. Luke took Mike’s nlace at the table. His voice trembled in the effort to speak clearly. “Can you get a message to my brother, Dr. Paul Luke, at the Curzon Street Hospital? It’s very serioius—an emergency! Can you get hold of him and let me talk to him?” "Yes, sir, I’ll do it! I’ll get him and try to call you back in 30 minutes!” The faraway voice was clearly that of a very young boy. So much depended on his understanding, acting. Sweat stood out on the doctor's forehead as he pronounced, “Thank you very much." Then with a faint click the receiver went dead. Dr. Luke subsided on the edge of the bed. Mike leaned back on the pillows. They looked at each other in silent dread, in awful helplessness. Was the receiver at the other end a responsible person? The voice sounded like that of a mere boy. Had he really understood? Would he do anything? Both Mike and the doctor felt their utter helplessness. There was nothing they could do. nothing even that they could say. Each kept his thoughts to himself. a it a ONCE Mike made a gesture toward the apparatus on the table, then caught himself. “Better not monkey with it,” he muttered. “It brought them in before. Maybe it will again. Honest. I don’t know enough about it to try to change The doctor shook his head. Both were silent. 20 minutes passed. 30. 35. An alarm clock on the bureau ticked disconcertingly. Then there was a faint buzzing on the instrument board. Mike tensed toward the instruments, torn between the temptation to make adjustments so as to resolve the voice, and the chance that he might lose it entirely. Then it became clearer. A station call letter could be distinguished. “Here he is, Doc! Talk to him!” quivered Mike. The doctor again slid into position before the table. "Hello, Paul?”

“What's that? Hear that, Nurse?” cried Dr. Luke excitedly. High above, unseen in the waning blizzard, was the drone of an airplane motor.

“You’ve GOT to get somebody, Mike,” breathed the doctor. “You’ve GOT to! Those children ... up there in the hospital!”

“What is it, John? Are you ail right?” The voice was clear and distinct. Thank God! Thank God! both men murmured inaudibly, deep inside themselves. "I'm all right, but we’re in a bad way, Paul.” The doctor's voice was steadying now'. “It's diphtheria—and w'e're snowed in. Wires dowm, blizzard raging. The serum's just about out, and w'e’ve got to have more—right aw'ay. Got more than

30 children in an isolation ward in the c'hurch!” ‘‘Can a car get through?” came Dr. Paul's voice. ‘‘No, the roads are completely blocked. Go to the Trading Company. See Sir Basil Crawford. See him —the head man—himself. Tell him he's GOT to send a plane with a supply of serum—today.” Then the doctor's voice rang with simple sincerity and all the devotion of the lifetime he had given to "his” children. ‘‘Tell him about the 30 children, Paul! You’ve got to help me. He's got to help me!” tt a u “T UNDERSTAND, John.” came the brother's voice. “I’ll see Sir Basil immediately. I’ll see that you get the serum. Good-by. Steady it is, until we get there!” The call resolved itself into a series of call-letters and signals, then faded away. “I knew Paul would do it!” There was a choke in Dr. Luke's voice. Mike wiped beads of sweat from his forehead. “Gee! Was that exciting!” he whispered. “Like a movie!” Dr. Luke appeared not to have heard him at all. There was an almost religious thankfulness in his voice as he said: “Mike, it’s a funny thing. As long as you had good legs, you were just a dumb lumberman. Along comes a spruce log—and the next thing you know your brain starts working. You build a radio, and . . ~" the doctor broke into an almost hysterical little chuckle,, “it works!” Then, as if he feared to trust himself to speak further, he rose and almost abruptly strode out the door. His sleigh and the patient horse shivering in the icy blast of snow were waiting. Instantly the thought of the church-hospital and the children crowded out everything else. “Sorry, old fellow,” said the doctor softly, rubbing the horse's nose. “I guess this is just one of those nights. There’ll be apples and a good bedding of hay for you later.” The doctor was half-dozing under the blankets when the horse pulled up in front of the church door. Nurse Kennedy met him in the vestibule. “This is the last of the serum,” she said gravely, handing

him a box. “Laura Ogden needs it badly.” The doctor had already shucked j off his big fur overcoat. “Well, I j don’t know of any one I’d rather see j have it than Jim Ogden s child,” j he said. A few minutes later he was wiping his hypodermic needle and putting it back in its worn leather case. a a a HE made his rounds then, shaking his head sadly from time to time. At intervals he would shuffle to the church door and turn sleepheavy eyes toward the skies. A figure came tramping, toward him through the driving snow during one of these anxious vigils. At first he could not make out who it was. then as the figure came closer, its bulk made it certain that it could be no one but MacKenzie. Gruffly, and without preliminary salutation, MacKenzie shot out a question: “Is Mary in there, Doc?” “Yes, she is,” replied Dr. Luke softly. “And it was a pretty gallant and generous thing. Mac.” “Send her home —at once!” came MacKenzie’s peremptory command. “But I need her. Mack,” interposed the doctor mildly. “Didn’t you tell her —” ' “No!” There was a pause. Then, “she’s safe, you know,” suggested the doctor.’ MacKenzie spoke with cold deliberation. “Dr. Luke, you seem to forget that I’m capable of deciding for my own family—” then his voice rose to an angry pitch, “ just as you seem to have forgotten that I am the head of this community—not you!” “Ridiculous!” snorted the doctor in return. “And I warn you now,” continued MacKenzie in a rising voice, “that when you begin to get the idea that you're a bigger man than the district manager for the trading company that you’re getting on mighty dangerous ground!” His manner was menacing as he leaned forward and shouted the words. Curtly, and with just a shade of contempt, the doctor replied simply, “I’ll tell Mary you want her.” He turned on his heel and re-entered the church, leaving MacKenzie staring after him with dislike and hatred written on his face. Dr. Luke beckoned to Nurse Kennedy. “Tell Mary to go home,” he said briefly. “Tell her we appreciate all she's done—but that we won’t need her any longer.” Nurse Kennedy surveyed him cynically. She understood what had had happened. “Do you blame her for wanting to get away?” she asked as she moved away. a a a WEARY 1 to the soul, Dr. Luke picked his way through the crowded church aisles, through the chancel rail and into the dingy vestry. He passed a tired hand over his eyes and relaxed in a chair, completely exhausted. In spite of himself he dozed into fitful sleep. He was conscious of Nurse Kennedy standing beside the chair. “Didn’t mean to wake you up, Doctor,” she said, “but you needed those few hours of sleep, and you WOULDN’T go to bed.” “Shouldn’t have allowed it, Katherine,” he reproached her, rising stiffly from the chair. “Look here. You blew up a little bit this morning, Katherine.” “I ought to be kicked,” rejoined the nurse, remorsefully. “I just want to warn you,” went on the doctor wearily, “that what we've been through is nothing to what we may have to go through now.” “No news at all?” asked the nurse. “Oh, you can’t blame ’em.” he went on tonelessly. “We’re just a little settlement on the edge of nowhere, and this weather and all—they’re human, too. Only— I guess I’ve never learned to take things the way a doctor ought to take them. I know all these kids and their mamas and daddies. They're my babies. I brought ’em into the world. And to have to see ’em strangle to death because—” His sudden anger died away. He cocked his head, listening intently. Then, excitedly: “What's that? Hear that, nurse? By golly, that’s it! 4 plane!” The two leaped from the side door of the vestry into the chill air. High above, unseen in the waning blizzard, was the unmistakable drone of an airplane motor.

Jane Warns Woman, 40, Against Marrying Youth

Look before you leap! Put your problems in a letter to Jane Jordan before you make a doubtful decision! Dear Jane Jordan—l am a w'oman of 40 years and have been divorced from my husband for 10 years. I’ve led a very lonely, useless life. My sole advantage is that I have plenty of money. For the past year I have

been seeing a lot of a young man of 22. He is a shy, retiring sort of youth who never has had the advantages in life that I could give him. He is too quiet to be popular w'ith the giddy young people of today, and has looked to me for companionship.

Jane Jordan

At first I simply felt a maternal interest in him because he was young and lonely. I enjoyed talking to him and doing things for him. He is eager to travel and see the world, anxious to study and catch up on the education he has missed. He is an orphan and has made his own way since he was 16, although he never has earned more than sls a week, whereas I spend that much on trifles. He doesn’t care for girls his own age, and says he is in love with me. I have been thinking that if I should marry him I could give him many advantages which he does not have now. The only thing that stops me is the difference in our ages, which is great enough to be embarrassing. On my money we could live in another country away from the friends who would ridicule us. Even if it didn’t last I would have the feeling of having been useful to someone I love. What do you think? DIVORCED. Answer—ls you want a son it would be better for you to adopt a child than to cripple this young man by mothering him after he has reached an age where he should not lean. Better still, you should marry a man of your own age who would be as glad as you are to adopt a child, or, perhaps, a widower with a child who needs a mother. Os course you will say “there is no such man or I should have married him during the 10 years.” In my opinion you were too discouraged and disheartened by the failure of your first marriage to look for another husband. You didn’t believe in your own worth enough to make an effort with mature men. In choosing this youth you have

BY MARIAN YOUNG YORK. Feb. 27 < NEA> Ski togs for a winter vacation at Lake Placid. Montreal, Quebec, or any other northern resort ought to be assembled cautiously and with a great deal of restraint on your natural impulses to be original. Dont be persuaded to buy heavy, cumbersome clothes, gaudy mufflers or bright red or orange trousers. Look for warm but extremely lightweight woolen pants in navy blue or black, classical flannel shirts and sweaters and equally unobtrusive caps, socks and other accessories. You'll need sheer silk and wool underwear, ski pants which you tuck into boot tops, a flannel shirt or a sweater, heavy socks, boots, wool gloves and the all-important jacket. Even if you get a jacket with a hood, take along a cap. It can resemble strongly the caps you wore when you were seven or be some kind of ear-muff arrangement. Gaberdine, whipcord and other smooth-surfaced fabrics are recommevded for trousers. These keep you warm as toast and. because of their very sleekness, shed snow and keep you dry as well. You ought to wear two pairs of gloves or one pair of gloves and a pair of mittens. If your hat doesn’t have a visor brim, take along colored glasses. One ideal skiing ensemble, shown in the phonograph, includes navy blue woolen trousers and socks, white kidskin jacket with blue doeskin lapels and blue pyralin buttons, navy blue cap. white leather gauntlet gloves and a blue and white plaid muffler.

placed your hopes on a relationship in which your partner is under the obligation to be grateful to you. His youth and ineffectiveness give you an advantage over him. You are determined to occupy the superior position and will not try fin- a relationship unless you can have the upper hand. What you propose to do sounds like the easiest way to , solve a hard problem, but in reality it is the hardest. The boy’s timidity has caused him to retreat from the competition offered by his own group. Marriage witn you might increase his courage to the point where he wouldn’t feel so incompetent with younger women. In time he would chafe against the feeling of inferiority which follows unworthy dependence on an older woman. At present he is asking in the pleasure of having replaced his deceased mother, and is striving to live like a child whose primary needs are supplied by a doting parent. It just isn’t in harmony with reality. You could not avoid a jealous watching of his attitude toward younger women. Doubtless you would enter upon a pathetic struggle to ward off encroaching signs of age. You would not dare to relax in comfortable maturity, because of the unpleasant contrast of your age and your husband's. In the end you would have wrecked your own peace of mind and done nothing useful for the lad. With a little more courage, you would succeed with an older man and he with a younger woman. This is a better goal for both of you to work toward. Heads Card Party Mrs. Mary Sutton is chairman for a benefit card party to be given at 2 Friday in the Sears Roebuck & Cos. social room. Bridge, euchre and bunco are to be played.
