STEPHENVILLE
Unemployment And
Self-Employment Vet
Checks Are Resumed
Financial assistance to veterans
was resumed after a temporary
stoppage as of 6 P.m. Wednesday.
April SO, due to the exhaustion of
Servicemen’s Readjustment Al-
lowance funds before Congress
passed a deficiency appropriation.
Unemployed or self-employed
veterans could not be issued by
the Texas Unemployment Compen-
sation Commission until this fin-
ancial matter was taken care of,
resulting in aid to 66,000 Texas
veterans being momentarily halt-
ed.
The TUCC was notified by the
Veterans Administration in Wash-
ington that the funds were ex-
hausted, and that no more checks
should be written until Congress
passed a deficiency appropriation.
This means stoppage of payments
to 60,000 unemployed and 16,000
self-employed veterans in Texas.
The TUCC acts as agent for the
VA in Texas in handling both the
unemployment and self-employ-
ment provisions of Title V or the
G. I. Bill of Rights. Money paid
veterans comes from funds appro-
priated by Congress for that pur-
pose.
The TUCC issues about 18,000
unemployment checks a week to-
taling more than seven hundred
thousand dollars. More than five
thousand self-employment checks
totaling $600,000 are written each
week. Under the agreement with
the Veterans’ Administration, the
TUCC writes the checks for the
veterans and then notifies the VA,
which puts the money to cover the
checks in an Austin bank.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our most
sincere appreciation to everyone
Who made our sorrow less through
their many deeds of kindness and
consideration of us in the passing

May God bless you. W. C. Blanton

Baptist Church here.
COMING ATTRACTIONS AT THE
STEPHENVILLE MOVIE HOUSES
MAJESTIC
“Swell Guy”
Stern drama built around a char-
acter unusual (or a film story^—
he’s a combination of extremes of
good and bad—a sort of a “tor-
tured soul” captive in a body equip-
ped with the most ingratiating ap-
pearance and personality. So they
say about “Swell Guy", the main
attraction today and Saturday at
the local Majestic Theatre. 8onny
Tufts, in the role of the fellow
who Is both a swell guy and an
unmitigated heel, does a part dif-
ferent than any he previously has
played. He does it mighty well,
too. Other fine-acting jobs are
turned in by William Gargan, as
the typically small-town, average
family man brother of the "Swell
Guy”; by Ruth Warrick, the wife
and young mother who is fascin-
fts; by Ann Blyth as
the young girl who thinks she’s
smart until she really falls in love
and tangles with life and near-
tragedy; by Mary Nash as the
mother who loves Tufts but des-
pises him also.
"The Shocking Miss Pilgrim”
"The Shocking Miss Pilgrim’’,
which will be featured at the Ma-
jestic next Sunday and Monday,
is a thoroughly delightful picture
from start to finish. It is imbued
with such utter charm and packed
with so many chuckleful situations
as to provide 86 minutes of thor-
ough entertainment even to Bos-
ton and Bostonians who are thor-
oughly “ribbed’’ in most of the
action. The picture is lavishly pro-
duced in pleasantly-tinted Tech-
nicolor and directed with
lian Bronson as an aggregation of
delightful eccentrics who thorough-
ly despise Boston and who wel-
come Betty to their midst when
she first arrives in the city. The
songs are in the 'Hershwin frothy
manner and all are good enter-
tainment.
A provocative story of three
men and a lovely but neurotic wo-
man is developed in "The Locket”,
RKO Radio’s absorbing drama
starring Laraine Day, Brian Aher-
ne, Robert Mitchum and Gene Ray-
mond in the leading film booked
for showing at the Majestic next
Tuesday, W ' ' ~

fun by

George Seaton, who also wrote the
story for the screen. Betty Grable
and Dick Haymes play this as
though they enjoyed doing it, par-
ticularly in the many songs they
are required to deliver singly and
as a duo. Too, they handle the
tender love scenes with consider-
able acting ability. The picture
belongs to them, but lesser parts
are played to perfection by such
fine performers as Anne Revere,
as Dick’s aunt and as one of the
leaders of the early suffrage move-
ment in staid Boston; Aflvn Jos-
lyn as a frustrated poet who is in
thorough accord with Elisabeth
Patterson, Arthur Shields and Lil-

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thuia
. Mus Day has the role of beau
tiful Nancy Patton, whose irresis-
table mania for stealing jewels
ruins the lives of the men associat-
ed with her. Mitohum, a tempera-
mental artist, is the first to dis-
cover her failing, and his career
is wrecked as a result of her ac-
tivities. So is that of Aherne, a
psychiatrist, married to Nancy for
years before he realised how men-
tally ill she is. Raymond is about
to become her second husband as
Aherne reappears from the past
to warn him, and precipitates a
poignant climax. The picture has
a strong supporting cast which in-
cludes the child actress, Sharyn
Moffett, Ricardo Cortex, Henry
Stephenson, Katherine Emery and
Reginald Denny.

Three Students Enter
Model Airplanes
(From The J-Tac)
Three Tarleton Students enter-
ed the High Fliers Model Airplane
Club contest at Mineral Wella, on
April 27.
Bill Mogford entered a glider in
the contest .which won him the
blue ribbon in this division. This
glider was Bill’s own designe and
because of Ita shape he callia it the
“Buzzard".
Billy Joe Waller entered his
“Eight Ball” as a class “C” job
which is for large plans and speed
is the main factor in this division.
With 70 feet of control lines Wal-
ler’s plane was clocked at 49 mph,
but to win two flights were requir-
ed and because of control line
trouble he could not make the sec-
ond flight.
Billy J. Baggett entered a neat
looking control line job which he
designed himself. His plane look
and is a real speedster, but due to
not enough offset in the engine
and rudder he had trouble controll-
ing his plane. -
This contest was conducted un-
der American Model Association
I rules.
These three boys and several
others have been giving the cam-
pus a bust with their planes.
