M-G-IVTs^Salute to the Marines’ Wins
Honors for Veteran Star, Wallace Beery
Mrs. Bill Hatcher
Entertains Club
On Tuesday Night
Mrs. Bill Hatcher entvrtaified
the Bridgettes Tuesday night. War
Stamps were presented to Mrs.
Bernard Buie as high score prize
in bridge games. A dessert plate
was served before the games.
Guests were Miss I .a Verne Grace
Mmes. W. O. Smith, Jr., Marvin
Hinds, Bernard Buie, J. B. Thax-
ton, Don Sadler and Nat Wash.
Filmed in cooperation with the
ynited States Marine Corps,
M-G-M’h “Salute to the Marines”
slurs Wallace Beery in a two-fist-
ed, action-packed wartime story
that is as inspiring as Old Glory
itself. The photoplay comes to the
State Theater Sunday for a 3-day
engagement.
Done up in Technicolor, the pic-
ture is not only a tribute to Wal-
lace Beery’s thirtieth year in mo-
tion pictures, but also a salute to
the fighting Marines, the “fightin’-
est men” in the service.
Beery, in a “diamo-nd-in-the-
rough” role that has made him
famous, portrays a bellowing,
tough - a.vthey-come leatherneck
sergeant, veteran of years in
uniform. Retired from the corps, he
later organizes a Filipino “army”
to fight the ruthless Jap hordes in-
vading the Philippines.
Teamed with Beery for the first
time is personable Fay Bainter, re
•nembered for her stirring per-
formance in “The War Against
Mrs. Hadlev.” As his peace-loving
wife, Miss Bainter persuades Beery
to leave the service he loves for
domestic life.
“Salute to the Marines” is a
vivid and warm picturization of
leathernecks in the Philippines.
Marine training und valor in bat-
tle are carefully pictured in the
inspiring story.
The supporting cast performs
admirably. Reginald Owen is a
Nazi fifth columnist, Ray Collins
is Beery’s veteran colonel, Marilyn
Maxwell plays Beery’s comely
daughter, William Lundigan is a
young leatherneck flier' in love
with Marilyn, Keye Luke is Beery’s
Filipino punch-drunk boxer pal,'
und Donald Curtis, also in love
with Marilyn is an infantry lieu-
tenant.
Highlight of the picture is the
Technicolor battle scenes at the
climax. x
S. Slyvan Simon’s direction is
skilful. John W. Considine, Jr., pro-
duced! Charles Schoenbaum and
W. Howard Green handled the fine
photography. The original story is
by Robert L). Andrews. Wells Root
adapted, while George Bruce wrote
the screen play.

mustard jackets stand for in M-G-M's action-packed film, “Salute to

be a better man than Wallace Beery to take that smile off his face.
And Marilyn Mnxwell, who plays his daughter, also can take care of

Hr- *nd Mrs. Joe Hatcher of

family. They wars accompanied by
Mrs. Betty Gowan of Oklahoma
City, Oklq., aunt of Bill Hatcher,
who also visited here.
County emphasized today in urging
greater protection- of our vital food
Supplies.
“Carelessness is the ring-leader
of this enemy crew”, Mr. Smith
said. “And among the rascally
agents are rats, fire, improper food
storage, disease and improper feed-
ing *of livestock, and bad manage-
ment.’’
Not only must our farmers pro-
duce all the food possible but they
must protect that food after it is
produced, the FSA official points
out. Extraordinary care should be
taken to prevent or cheek disease
in livestock, because every , cow,
pig or chicken which dies is that
much food lost to our home folks,
fighting men and allies. Serum
treatment for cholera in hogs,
greater sanitation to check masti-
tis in dairy animals, and worm cap-
sules for chickens is recommended
for saving the lives of animals or
increasing production.
Immediate steps are urged to
destroy rats which take high toll
of our groin supplies especially in
fall and winter months. Precau-
tions against fires on the farm,
which annually destroy millions of
dollars worth of foodstuff and val-
uable timber, should be taken. Care
in storing food is urged.
Finally, in Addition to not wast-
ing food we must not waste time
which is vital to the production of
food, the supervisor suggests. He
urges farm families to do their
farmland home planning carefully.
“We ought to have timetables for
running a farm, even though the
weather may occasionally alter our
plan. Wasting time is wasting food.
We must check waste of every
kind.” T

When the big plnne hit the water
it broke in two and the emergency
rations were swept away. The only
drinking water salvaged was a half
canteen for the 15 passengers a-
float on two rubber life rafts which
had a rated capacity of only four
men each. No water was consum-
ed for the first three days and then
the meager supply allowed only
sip for each of the 15 men. The
same day the group managed to
kill two seagulls, which they ate
"raw and even managed to salvage
fish and squids from the gullets of
the birds. The fifth night a storm
overtook the rafts and they were
able to catch a supply of rain

day. The rafts had drifted some
240 miles from the New Hebrides
