"Ann Shendan 1s Starred | in (apllol Show : Appears With Richard Carlson Tonight in ‘Winter Carnival’ Movie fans everywhere will have one decided advantage over the gay thousands who go to New England for the snow sports this year. They will be able to view the celebrated Dartmouth winter carnival at first hand in Walter Wanger's “Winter Carnival,” which is slated for its first showing' at the Capitol tonight. The film co- stars Ann Sheridan and Richacd Carlson | “Winter Carnival” is unique in that neither winter atmosphere nor winter sports control any portion | of the story or demand even the slightest deviation from a smoothly moving story plot to accommodate scenes of the 1939 Dartmouth car- nival, To offer a relief from time- worn settings Producer Wunp,nr! chose to create a romantic fllm] tale around the Dartmouth carni- val because it presented New Eng- land in its most colorful natural raiment and because the winter sports fete is America’s most dis- tinctive social event The story which the Wanger film depicts has had more than one parallel in the history of winter carnivals and Director Charles F. Riesner exercised extreme care in presenting the romance between | Jill Baxter and Prof. John Wel- | don, in the film, as it might be| seen through the eyes of youth, Both story and accompanying mu- sical score were created by Dart- | mouth men whose memories of many winter carnivals are still| fresh 1918, highest sacrifices were n sary. As the olive-drab line American troops advanced a: s the poppy-studded fields of France, men dropped, never to rise again. There, amid the poppies, they gave their all for America. of | “The poppy became the symbol of remembrance of those men. It be- came the memorial flower of the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary and all America. Each year, on the Saturday before Memorial Day, patriotic Americans wear the poppy to pay tribute to the World War dead. “Poppy Day this year comes on Saturday, May 25. On that day the women of the American Legion Aux- iliary will ask all to wear poppies in honor of the war dead and to make contributions for the welfare of the war disabled, the widows and the fatherless children. The day should have high significance for us all. We cannot honor the dead and aid the disabled without think- ing of the sacrifices they made, and with such thoughts stirring our hearts we cannot fail to catch their spirit for continued service for Am- erica. “The poppies, exact replicas in paper of those which grew along the \battlefront of France, have been made by needy disabled veterans bravely struggling by this means to earn a livelihood for themselves and families. Vividly and -simply these blood-red flowers .symbolize the | highest ideal of patriotic service. By wearing them we help keep that ideal bright for the Ameriea of today and tomorrow. “The need for the inspiration of the poppy, the need for remembering the. patriotic sacrifices of the dead, also has become greater as the war of 22 years ago becomes more distant and the war in war-torn Europe be- comes more real. Today we need to | remember that men have died for | this country of ours, given their lives | by the thousands that we might be | secure in. the blesings of democracy; | then no sacrifice. we are called upon to make, no service we are asked to | give, will seem too heavy. Wearing | the poppy in tribute to them, we feel | their sturdy patriotism stir -within us, and we will go forward in their spirit to serve America in these critical days of peace as they served during the crisis of war. “Buy a poppy!” Baccalaureate Exercises next Sun- | day. night and Commencement.

She insisted she was a lazy linguist who spoke only three lamguages well . . . admitted she had terrific stage fright in contemplating a lec- ture tour. She did express special pride in her sister, Irene, and Irene's husband, Frederic Joliot, who carry on the work of Marie and Pierre Curie in the same laboratory. Although she was chosen almost at the outset of the war as feminine leader of the French Ministry of Information, Eve Curie asserted her lecture tour was her own and that she was no agent of the French government. She is telling. her own story of French. women and the war. And she thinks Europe has more than a scrap-of-paper chance to be unit- ed because of the practical coop- eration between France and Eng- land.
