P. T. A.
On Monday night, October 21 Uv High Sdhool P. T. A. will inaugurate its first meeting of the year with a very unique program. Following a pitch-in supper at 6.30 p. m. in the Home Economics Room at the gymnasium, the assembly will be escorted to the High School building where they will be entertained oy the teachers at an open house. Parents will be invited to their child: en's home rooms. For one hour they will be permitted to be high school pupils again. Classes will be conducted with ten minute periods. This will make it possible for parents to follow through the daily schedule of their children It will be a very interesting way for parents and teachers to become better acquainted and it will help parents to have a more sympathetic understanding of their children’s dally programs. This plan has been used very successfully in larger schools, tuch as Muncie and Ft. Wayne. This will also be a splendid opportunity for parents to see the newly decorated class rooms and the modern lighting system which was installed this summer. It is hoped that there will be a large attendance at this first meeting. Any parents who cannot come to the pitch-in supper but can come later will be most welcome. The program at the High School building will begin at 7.45.

NIPPON ARMY PAPER REFERS EDITORIALLY TO PROSPECTIVE FAR EAST WAR POLICY WARNING IS ISSIE1I Japanese News|ta|ier Says I'niteil Slates Musi Cease Present Activities In The Pacific SHANGHAI. Oct. 19.—(UP)—Japan's army newspaper organ here, oin-Shun-Pao, referred editorially tolay to the “prospective Japane.se-
American war.”
It said the United States must be given warning against continuance af its present Pacific policies. In its bluntest anti-American article to date .the newspaper said: “Japan will deal a direct blow to America’s challenge because Japan is responsible for the rehabilitation of East Asia. The basic reason why America will be defeated in the Far East is her mis-conception that she will benefit by prolongation of the
Chinese-Japanese war.
“Japan and China should radically cooperate, because the prospectiv 1 Japanese-American war will decide the fate of East Asia for a while . . . the conclusion of the Japanese-Gci-man-Italian alliance has already marked the collapse of Anglo-Ameri-can influence in the Far East.” Dovetailed with this lie of attack | was an editorial in the Central China Daily News, organ of the Wang Ching-Wei regime which, under Jap- I anese sponsorship, purports to ad-1 minister Japanese-occupied areas in ; the name of the Chinese people. It said that if the United States

WASHINGTON. Oct. 19 (UP) Sen. Hiram Johnson, veteran Califo: nia Isolationist who bolted the Republican party in 1932 and 1936 to support President Roosevelt, asserted in a nationwide radio address last night that the third term question casts all other issues "in-

The remodeling of the front facade of the Bark and Trust company building, at Roachdale, Is pioceeding, with indication of a considerable improvement in appearance of the building and of increased convenience in its use. In speaking of the work the Roachdale Times-News says: “The blueprints for the new front cal! for removal of tile entrance way to the center, with fine stone panels and smaller windows on either side. The stone is now in progess of being quarried and finished, according to workmen in charge of the remodel-

“An added feature of the work will be a tile floor over the entire bank lobby, the foundation of which is now being laid. The marble sidewalls will be replaced. “The bank’s name will be affixed over the front door instead of the window as formerly and will present j a much neater appearance, it is believed. The remodeling will extend over the stairway entrance to the upper part of the building housing the telephone exchange, Dr. J. P. Puckett’s dental office and the entrance to the Masonic lodge rooms and will conform in style and materials with the remainder of the bank front.” RESTORE BELGIAN KING’S STATUTE TO ITS PEDESTAL NEW YORK. Oct. 19—In ceremonies marking the restoration of the marble bust of King Leopold III to its place of honor in the World’s Fair Belgian pavilion last night, Franz van Cauwelaert, former minister of state, called on all free Belgians to renew their loyalty to their King, and to pledge their support and Belgian colonial resources to the British cause. It was his explanation of the King s conduct in the war that led Count Robert van der Straten-Ponthoz. Belgian ambassador to the United States, to order the replacement.

TRUSTEES VOTE FOR CAA UNIT AT DEPAUW The Board of Trustees of DePauw at a meeting Friday afternoon acted favorably on a petition of the faculty to allow the formation of a unit of the Civil Aeronautics Authority at DePauw if the War Department of Commerce at Washington will sanction it at the university. This is a civil organization for the purpose of training young men to fly and of course makes them available for military service if necessary in the future, but at present has no military connection.

Local Students In "Cock Robin** MISS jrnv MADDOX AM) CHARLES SHERIDAN PLAY PARTS SPLENDIDLY One of the features of Old Gold Day is the play, “Cock Robin” which was presented in Little Theater last night and will be repeated again tonight. Two Greencastle students in DePauw take leading roles in the play. They are Miss Judy Maddox and Charles Sheridan and each acquitted themselves splendidly in the opening performance. The production is under the supervision of Miss Lucile Calvert of the speech depart-
ment.
When the curtain rises on the first act. the theatre-goers find themselves watching a play within a play one which is humorous, exciting and unique. Baffling and intricate pieces of evidence lead first one character and then another into the light of suspicion, until all is untangled in act three. Robin, played by Elmer Hammerman. comes to a fearful end in the second act, leaving his stricken sweetheart. Rosa Neil Reynolds, to help solve the mystery of the murder in the eighteenth-century English grog-shop. Flank Dudley heads the cast as George McAuliffe, a hard-boiled stage director and inn-keeper. Besides the three characters mentioned Charles Sheridan, George Clark Bruce Judd, and Virginia Fairfield make up the rest of the cast with Drew Miller' Jack Wolf, Bob Landis, Judy Maddox and Jeanne Strick-

EXPERTS BELIEVE BRITISH WILL INTENSIFY H\I!)S ON GERMANY HAVE MANY NEW PLANES "Everj Blow Struck B.\ Nazis Has Been Returned,’' Says English Cabinet Member ROME. Oct. 19.—(UP) British planes have heavily raided air fields on the island of Rhodes, Italy's chief base in the Dodecanese group off the Turkish coast, and have bombed again the pod has • of Benghazi oa the Libyan coast, a high command communique said today.
LONDON, Oct. 19 (UP) Expectation seemed glowing steadily today that within the next few weeks British Royal Air Force bombing raids on Germany might assume impoitant and perhaps dramatic proportions. Vague hints that new types of both bombing and fighting planes had reached the production stage had now become statements in responsible British organs that the new planes were ready for action. Arthur Greenwood, minister without portfolio in the inner war cabinet, said in a speech last night: "Every blow' struck by Germany against this country has already been returned. Western Germany an! the Ruhr have been far more heavily punished than any place in this country. What has been done to London will be double 1 to Berlin.’ Greenwood’s statement fiAed in with claims of the air ministry. It has issued communiques almost every day since Germany invaded Holland and Belgium last May detailing raids on military objectives in Germany an.I occupied country. Bad weather which has interfered with German raids on Britain have impeded Royal Air Force attacks within the last five days, but the air ministry said today that during ’he night British planes had attacked "a naval target” and aluminum works In western Germany, even though the weather ha I forced the abandonment of most of the night's aperations. There seemed to he a confident r, xpectation that soon after air marshal Sir Charles Portal assumed ‘he post of chief of air staff next week, there would he an intensification of British offensive ope alons in the air. Thr well-informed Daily Mail said today that he was expected to decide the ze o hour, during the next 'ew weeks, for the big attacks on
Berlin.
The stea lily lengthening nights w 11 he a decided advantage to Britain because of the distance its bombing planes have to go to attack German objectives, whereas the Germans base many planes in occupied territory.

No one ever knew whether Bonnie was his heart beat or just his leading lady. In fact, he says he didn’t know it himself until they made the picture "You’re the One" for Gene Markey at Para mount. Seems they had twelve takes on a love scene and the final one “took" not only for the screen but in real life as well. They will be manned as soon as they finish "You’re the One," which would be in about six weeks. Bonnie Baker, whose name is a household word, sang her way to fame with Orrin Tucker's orchestra.
