Editor Tribune: ‘Thursday morning, according to of- | ficial report, it was 15 below zero. AS) I passed the Will school just shortly before 8:30 I saw a sight that should freeze most anyone, for would you be- | lieve it there, shivering in the cold, stood some 75 small Bismarck citizens, waiting for “opening time.” | ‘Now due to the great national game wf thrift we all practice just now, most likely some of these little folks ‘were none too warmly clad. Probably | some lacked overshoes, or possessed a | pair whose usefulness would be hard} to detect. Maybe the undergarments, | mittens and overcoat, were thin from | Jong usage, for many a little Johnnie and Mary is wearing a big Johnnies or Mary's year before last cast off's and trying bravely to like it, while} daddy is on his big vacation. Studying | up on the “marvelous achievements of | civilization” and endeavoring to find put what it is all about. ‘Well, anyway, there they stood. In. Bide was warmth and comfort; ou! side was cold and discomfort. And be- tween was a two-inch thick door. This | door is a perfectly good one; good} 7 | hinges arid all, Only the force that! ps in 1498 has been found in Con- Operates it says, it shall not swing | wide its welcome till the clock has| ticked so many ticks. This, I under- stand, is the practice at all schools in! Bismarck. Does this practice meet the approval of our board of health ‘which teaches us and our children to use our handkerchief when we sneeze? I would like to suggest to the grown ups responsible for this hard boiled regularity that they try it some time. And since a large object cools off Jess quickly than a small one and since you are better clad and tougher any- way, I would say that you should wait ‘until it is about 25 below, and also that you stand somewhat longer than the small folks in order that the ex- periment may be as near relative as Possible. And by the way, don’t forget to take a good clean handkerchief along. You may need it for the above- mentioned purpose. Oh no! Sure you won't like it, but come on, be a good sport. Try it just once. Yes just once. Please! And another thought. Does the ‘Humane Society function or find any- thing in the situation that interests it? You can’t tie a horse in the cold ‘without blanketing, or mistreat a dog or cat, and rightly so. Even a big spider attempting to kill a small snake shocks the nation and brings rescue to the snake. But here we are in the Capital City of our state inflicting a perfectly fheediess hardship upon and en- dangering the health of our very own Mesh and blood. And why? You tell, I give up. But really now, folks, come on. Let us be human. Let us put a sign on that door something like, “Welcome” or “Walk in.” Let us have a new deal in this matter for the kiddies. Let’s open up when it is 15 below. Respectfully, C. A. Mason, A West Ender. Editor's Note: ‘The Tribune has called this let- ter to the attention of school au- to keep the door in cold weather, here- after. The Armour Creameries in | Eddy Wirtz |} genue lead in “Million Dollar Legs” so At the Movies All Is Forgiven Susan Fleming, pretty, darkhaired Hollywood “find,” and her grandmoth- er, the Baroness Casimir von Philp, have kissed and made up. Miss Fleming, who played the in- ‘well that she was rewarded with an limportant role with Stuart Erwin and Alison Skipworth in “He Learned About Wome! comedy now at the |Paramount Theater, recently received {a letter from her grandmother, a member of the Swedish nobility who jmakes her home at Bethehem, Pa., which said, in effect: “All is forgiv- | en.” A difference of opinion occurred five years ago when Susan left an ex- clusive boarding school at Forest Hills, L. 1, for a part in Ziegfeld’s “Follies.” The rift widened perceptibly when | Susan went to Hollywood last summer jand accepted a part in “Ladies of the | Jury.” | But success covers a multitude of sins. With Susan's success as leading | lady in “Million Dollar Legs,” and the! news that she had been cast opposite Erwin in “He Learned About Wom- randmother relented. “I'm proud of you,” she wrote. “The reporters have already been to see me about you.” “He Learned About Women” is a comedy dealing with the adventures of a young man with $50,000,000 and a lot of book knowledge, who suddenly | decides it’s time he learned a little bit bout the world. Erwin plays that ‘role, and Miss Skipworth, with Miss Fleming, helps to teach him, A copy of a map made by Colum- stantinople.
