Important Service To _— OPERATION OF LITTLE-KNOWN SERVICE DESCRIBED BY NAVY One of the important an “War Paint Filled With Grim Drama “War Paint,” filmed in vivid Pathe color, a tense cavalry story of the Old West, the first feature length picture ever filmed in grim and historic Death Valley, opens Friday at the Strand Theatre, through United Artists release. Co-starred in “War Paint” are Robert Stack, Joan Taylor and Charles McGraw. However, the real star of the pro- | duction is the taut story, that of a young Indian’s one - man war against the United States Cavalry. Suspense mounts to the breaking point as a detachment of cavalry doggedly attempts to reach an In- dian village with a treaty from Washington, and the son of the tribe’s chief seeks to prevent what he considers a false peace. The young Indian, acting as guide, brings about the loss of their map making equipment, leads them in circles, to dry water holes, tw poisoned water. In the end he pays with is life but it appears the cavalrymen cannot long sur- vive. The dead Indian’s sister takes _ up the task torn from his grasp and she, too, is faced with death. Physical conflict and __ thrills abound throughout the picture with Robert Stack as the unbending, de- termined leader. The screenplay, by Richard Al- an Simmons and Martin Berkeley, was based on the original story by Fred Freiberger and William Tun- berg. All the featured roles are of in- dividual importance and are por- trayed by Keith Larsen, Peter Gra- opulation Performed By Air-Sea id little-known services to the } general population performed by military forces is the function of Search and Rescue, Naval Air Stations and Air Force Bases have special- ly equipped planes in constant readiness for search and rescue whenever the occasion arises.

The state highway patrol said some 250 volunteers had the fire around Dodd City, lake resort com- munity to the northwest, under “general control” before 10 p.m. last night. But the big blaze threat- ening the eastern edge of the 5,000- 6,000-acre Bastrop State Park, 35 miles to the southeast, burned on. REAL LONG FLY AHOSKIE, N.
