Friday, August 6, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Western To Be At Islander “Aren a,” M-G-M’s exciting Western opens Sunday at the Is- lander Theatre. A thrill-packed drama of the ca- reers of rodeo cowboys, who risk their lives (and sometimes marital happiness) in the dangerous con- tests of the rodeo arena, the pic- ture features.Gig Young, Jean Ha- gen, Polly Bergen, Henry Morgan, Barbara Lawrence and Robert Hor- ton, together with a group of dare- devil exhibition riders. It was pho- tographed in Ansco Color, with most of the action filmed on loca- tion in Tucson, Arizona, during the annual rodeo. : Audiences viewing “Arena” will find suspense and excitement in such thrill highlights as a race be- tween two high-powered autemobil- es culminating in a near collison with a truck; and such of the spine- tingling rodeo events as the calf- roping contest, saddle-bronc riding, ‘pareback-riding stunts, steer wrest- ling and the dangerous Brahma Bull riding contest, which serves as the pivotal point of the drama. The story, which takes place a- gainst this background of excite- ment, tells of a young rodeo star who, at the peak of his success, refuses to heed the pleas of his wife to give up his dangerous work while he is still on top. It is not until he comes face to face with a sudden tragedy which might easily occur in his own immediate future that he comes to an under- standing with the girl who loves him. Gig Young is seen as the young rodeo star, with Polly Bergen en- acting his wife, and Barbara Law- rence the girl who threatens to break up their marriage. Jean Ha- gen and Henry Morgan play an- other married couple, with Miss Hagen as the friend who sets Young on the right track. “Arena” is based on a screen play by Harold Jack Bloom from a story by Arthur M. Loew, Jr. It was directed by Richard Fleischer and was produced by Arthur M. Loew, Jr. About 11,000 babies are born in the United States every day. Although iron was once used ex- clusively for the cores of electro- magnets, silicon steel now is wide- ly used. |Navy Announces Payroll Savings Honor Roll Outstanding and excellent parti- cipation records in the Payro!l Savings Plan by civilian employees of the following naval activities Was announced last week by the Department of the Navy, office of Savings bonds.

KING LONDON (®—A page in the |history books flipped over this week in Europe. | Just 40 years ago—in the words | of a British foreign minister—‘‘The jlamps are going out all over | Europe.” The anniversary of what be- came known then as “The Great War” was officially ignored. Most | people seemed to have forgotten— or they did not want to remember. But in the English countryside an old man remembered. Winston {Churchill has said over and over | again a lasting world peace is the last prize he seeks to win. He's | still trying. Churelfill at 79 is the only topliner—governmental or military—of those fateful August days of 1914 still in power. Few ‘others are even still alive. | Forty years ago, as the 39-year- old First Lord of the Admiralty, | Churchill won praise for having the | Royal Navy already mobilized and | at battle stations when Britain went \to war with the Kaiser’s Germany. |Resting at his country home in | Kent this week, the same Churchill |kept his thoughts to himself—and the world speculating on whether he intends to retire as Prime Min- ister. The anniversary of the outbreak of World War I caught attention only in a few reminiscences—and warnings — in the newspapers. Europeans’ attention was devoted more to the uneasy peace in the world today, and focused on Asia. The London Evening News, in 2 commemorative editorial, “Lest We Forget,” said: “The forces then mobilized in Europe have never properly stood {down. The threat has been there, through 40 years of lost ideals and bitter disillusionment.” And the London Daily Telegraph warned: “In August 1914, our country had the opportunity of allowing a Pax Germanica to be imposed on Europe and rejected it. Twenty- five years later the same prospect faced us in an even more ambi- tious form and was refused. | “It would be an ill day when a Pax Sovietica became the only al- ternative to another world war and we had to take a similar grim but inevitable decision, even though in company with strong allies.” Germany, beaten in World War I and again in an even greater war —World War Il—found itself a di- vided nation in a divided world. Among the West Germans, allied |with the West, the anniversary passed unnoticed. The East Ger- mans, under Soviet domain, made no mention of it either. | France, torn today by suspicion |of a rearmed Germany and fear | of Communist aggression, was |more concerned about straighten- jing out colonial affairs in | Indochina, Tunisia and Morocco |than anniversaries. Belgian newspapers carried front page anniversary stories. There ; Was casual mention on the inside | pages of Dutch newspapers of the | flight of the German Kaiser Wii- |helm to the Netherlands and his | death there in 1941. | Moscow radio remembered. | For the men now in the Kremlin, | where the Russian czars once were | | crowned, August 1914 was the fore- |runner of another anniversary to |them—the revolutionist conversion }of all the Russias and more to |communism. Moscow radio used |the anniversary to assail the Am- | ericans, who did not get into World | War I until 1917, and accused them | of forgetting “‘the lessons” of the! | first world war. | SWIMMING MASK KILLS 'The Weatherman Says Key West and Vicinity: Partly cloudy today thru Saturday; isolat- ed thundershowers.
