Aqui el muchacho que comete | una pequefia falta, sabe que no le | castigaran mas que con tna repri- menda, que Je entrara por un oido | y saldra por el otro, sin la menor | posibilidad de enmienda. Existen muchas formas de castigo para | los pequefios delincuentes, que | suélen dar excelentes resultados, | sin Megar a péligrosas exagera- | ciones. Por ejemplo, dar ordenes a Jos | Cines para que no se la permita | concurrir a ellos, durante determi- | nado poriodo de tiempo. Suspender- les en sus estudios en el High | School, obligandoles asi a tener otro afio escolar mas, aates de terminar. Y asi sucesivamente. Todo esto, a nuestro juicio seria mejor que esos regafios, que esas reprimendas én espiritus extravia- dos, que no serviran de nada y que acaso si sea peligroso tratar de penetrar en la psiquis de esos peqtiefios delincuentes. Otro de los remedios, es la practica del scoutismo. Los Boy- | Scouts sitven de valladar a mu- chos pequéfos extraviados, La practica de ese provechoso depurte, les aleja de los vicios, de la mal- dad y de los malos ejemplos, ha- ciendo hombres ‘tiles para el mafiana.

The brilliant | producer-director’s first sceen drama since the memorable Aca- | demy Award contender, “A Place} |in the Sun,” this arresting love story boasts three top-flight stars | —Joan Fontaine, Ray Milland and| | Teresa Wright—and a strong sup-| porting cast. The two annual citations for ex- cellence which mean the most in Hollywood are the Academy Oscar} and the New York Film Critics Award. Members of the “Some- thing to Live For” company have earned more than their share of both. Stevens was chosen best di- rector of 1943 by the Film Crites for his handling of “The More the Merrier.” Miss Fontain won both of 1941’s big “bests” for her per- formariée in “Suspicion.” Milland similatly swept the field in 1946 with his portrayal in Paramount's “The Lost Weekend,” and Miss Wright’s supporting role in ‘Mrs. Miniver’ garnered a 1943 Oscar “Something To Live For’ camera- man George Barnes also got the Academy’s nod with his filming of “Rebecca.” In the forthcoming Stevens pro- duction, this unusual line-up of award winners lends its talent to} an unusual and frank drama about |a beautiful and talented actress | whose addiction to drink plagues | her career, shatters another wo- man’s marriage afd drives the | man she loves to a tormenting di- lemma. With Miss Fontaine cast as the alcoholic, Milland playing the reformed lush seeking to save her, and Miss Wright portraying his wife, “Something To Live For” | sensitively traces the anguish and | eestasy of three people desperately | seeking love and fulfillment. | As in “A Place in the Sun,” | Stevens has stocked his drama | with frank love scenes that solidly | underscore an absorbing romatic triangle, and the Dwight Taylor| screenplay penetratingly probes| the vital, but seldom-discussed, | problems of modern marriage. | Richard Derr, Douglas Dick and Richard Heyes head the support- _|ing cast. Fan Dancer ‘Tosses Self Into Fountain ROME, (@—A blonde fan dancer | | from Tacoma, Wash., claiming she j had no coins, cheerfully threw her- self and a pet monkey into Rome’s | tourist-lined Trevi fountain today. ; An astounded policeman chased the blonde, Chariene Castle, and the monkey, named Paris, away. | But she said she hoped she’d re- | turn to Rome one day anyway, just the way visitors who toss coins | into the fountains are supposed to. Thoughtfully forewarned, a bevy of press photographers snapped Miss Castle’s picture as she re- moved a ledgard - skin coat and took the plunge in a leopard + skin Bikini with the monkey. Mes Castle and the monkey emerged quickly, took short slugs of whisky and dashed off amidst the gaping tourists while the cop bore down. “LT was too fast for him,” said the fan dancer at her boarding house later. She said she pulled the stunt to get publicity for a book she and a traveling compan- ion, travel lecturer Abby Ricker of New York City, are writing about their current trip around the | wold, | NO MORE PINE CONES | JACKSONVILLE (®—The Flori- da Forest Service will quit buying pine cones Friday.

GREEN } EAST LANSING, Mich. (®—Vice President Nixon last night chal- lenged Adlai E. Stevenson to offer “constructive” suggestions rather | than ‘‘quips and criticisms” on the Eisenhower administration. Nixon issued the challenge to the former Democratic presidential nominee in a major address at Michigan State College. It was billed as an administration reply to Stevenson’s recent attack on Eisenhower policies. Decrying what he called Steven- son’s failure to offer “constructive suggestions,” Nixon told an audi- ence of 7,500 “under the circum- stances we can only assume, as his (Stevenson’s) national chairman | admitted in answer to a question| recently, that all a Democratic! Congress offers is a return to the policies of the Truman adminis- tration. “Until Mr. Stevenson tells the American people how he differs from those policies we shall have to continue to remind the people what those policies were.” The vice-president said the for- mer Democratic nominee for the presidency would talk in Detroit Saturday and hoped that then Stevenson will say “how his pol- icies and those of a Democrat Congress would differ from pol- icies of the Truman administration | so that we can debate the issues of this campaign on policies of the present rather than the past.” Nixon made what he called a “point - by - point’ reply to Stevenson. He said Stevenson “criticizes the settlement in Indochina and what has happened to EDC (European Defense Community). “I think he owes it to the American people as a spokesman for the ADA (Americans for Demo- cratic Action) wing of the Demo- crat party, to tell us honestly whether he believes the war in Korea ought not to have been ended, whether he believes Ameri- can boys should have been sent to Indochina, what he would do on EDC or the other problems on which he criticizes the Eisenhower administration.” Nixon rep'ied to the charge that the Republicans had a rigid for- eign policy upsetting to our allies and was unable or unwilling to} negotiate and compromise. Nixon argued. that economy ¢uts in military spending and in foreign aid have made Amreica stronger and able to meet any aggrésston. Nixon referred to Stevenson's statement the Republicans had attacked the loyalty of Truman and the Democrats. “Let me set the record com- pletely straight on this issue,” Nixon said. “No party has a mon- opoly on patriotism in America ... The issue has never been and is not now the loyalty of Demo- crats versus the loyalty of Repub- licans. Nixon jeered at the assertion that there is no difference between the Truman-Acheson foreign policy and that of Eisenhower-Dulles. “The difference is this’, he said. “The Truman-Acheson policy got us into war and the Eisenhower- Dulles policy got us out of war.” Everybody Loses OKLAHOMA CITY (#—Oklahoma City football parlay card who lost, lost, and those who won, also lost.

By JUDSON STEPHENS, Arthur Sawyer Post No. 28, American Legion Meetings: Regular Post Meeting Initiation Ceremony for new mem- bers, Wednesday, September 22, 8 p.m., Post Home, Stock Island, House Committe, every Friday, Post Home, 7 p.m. * * Flag Presentation: During the pre-game ceremonies last Friday evening at the newly completed high school football field, the Key West Guard of Honor presented Dr. principal of the Key West High School, with an American Flag to |be flown from the staff at the field. After the presentation of the Flag to Dr. Campbell by Vance Stirrup, the Color Guard proceeded to hoist the flag during the playing of the National Anthem by the high sehool band. I believe that the Guard deserves a pat on the back for the excellent way in which these ceremonies were carried out. It was the first time for something like this for the Color Guard and it was done exceptionally well. From now on at each of the games the Color Guard will raise Old Glory prior to the game. Upon completion of the flag rais- ing the Guard then left the field to assist the School System as auxiliary police. x* * * Membership: If you have received your “Florida Legionnaire” then what I) have to say isn’t news t 5 A new membership plan een proposed and I am highly in favor of it. In fact so much that I will bring it up at the meeting this week. The idea was conceived by new National Commander Seaborn Collins and has been slightly vari- ed by Department Commander Joe Jenkins. I believe it will work but only if all legionnaires will co- operate. The Department of Florida quota for this year is 42,000 members and this will not be reached un- less all of us help. I noted in the Legionnaire the other day also that one of the Posts in the De- partment had set as its own quota 1,000 members. That would be a good number for our Post to shoot at but unless each member works toward this goal it could never be reached. Members are signed up only through sale of the Legion. x kk This ‘N That: Noted last Saturday evening that everyone enjoyed a pleasant even- ing of dancing at the Post Home during the 40 and 8 sponsored dance. I know for one, that I real- ly had a nice time even if I didn’t) win one of the prizes. | lieve we should have more of these affairs. Post Commander Kranich has| still a few weeks to go before he | can get into the swing of thjngs | but even during his convalesence | period he still manages to take care of the business of the Post. Believe that whoever is respons- ible for the new football field de- serves a lot of credit. I don’t think I have seen a better one in many years. The game that was played last week didn’t seem to| hurt it in the least. I know a few) of the boys that did work on it} | since we cut into their work time} and sent about four of them to Tallahassee for Boys’ State.

I am writing my final column this week and I must admit that I have had lots of fun in bringing you what news about the goings-on |that I could muster up. I ap- preciate the help that has been | given me in writing the column and I am sure Post Command- ler Kranich will be able to find | another Legionnaire to continue | these weekly writings. I must give} them up now because of my work. I firmly believe that if you can’t do the job expected, then you should let someone else take over and do it right. | Since I am not able to attend all) of the meetings that take place/ to get the necessary information | to write the column then I feel} that I should let someone else take | over.
