Salem Heights Pupils Rival Older Performers In Entertainment . . it i ! ! Br Edna Garfield What was said to be one of the most successful entertainments ever given by, the Salem Heights school was that featuring Thanks- . riving, which, for excellence throughout, would have done Jus tice' to an amateur dramatics club Too, the artistic decorations fes toons of autumn foliage and other colorful effects furnished a love ly setting for the Puritan festival program. . Miss Wlggln and Mrs. Zosel played the piano numbers and ac companiments, assisted by a har saonlca player, drummer, and oth ers.

"We Love Our School," written by Le- tha Polk, aged fourteen. In the dialogues, which fea tured epochal historic events of the early Colonists, particularly picturesque were the. demure Purl-! tan maids, with' white caps and kirtles, together with the diminu tive Puritan men, wearing the tra ditional 1 capes and "John Alden" steaple-hats. The special charac ters were all excellently Imper sonated. Outstanding as a dramatic . cli max impressive and. realistic and in, distinct contrast with the Pocahontas-ead-Powhatan friend lixess of the Indians, was the In dian war dance, in which the par ticipants, clad in full regalia of war point and feathers, carrying tomahawks and bow and arrows, their weird songs, vividly por- beating tom-toms and chanting trayed the Indian ceremonials. During the program, a huge basket of flowers was presented to the principal. Miss Cecil. Wig' gin, on behalf of the pupils.

Fox Films ver sion of Gladys Unger's Broadway stage hit at the Capitol theater to day. Unlike the pathetic little Paris sreet waif, whom Miss Gay nor Interpreted in "7th Heaven,? the picture which brought Iter faraer in this, her first stellar role, she plays " 1 the part ; of aT young American working girl who must make Jier own wayi x ;i . And from; the--tragic role of Diane, she steps into the coznedic part of Marianni and ecorea'a tri umphant characterization. She is a typical American girt . In this story, plucky, resourceful, with a keen sense' of humor and always lovable. Even when she dons a boy's outfit, to get a boy's Job when all other means cf getting one fail, she is delightful. " Girls Wanted," which played for many ' months on Broadway, has been made into a fine screen entertainment by Alfred Green. It is the story of two sisters, Marian na. played by Miss Gaynor, and Sarah, played ty Marie Mosquinl. Sarah is Incapacitated by a broken arm and Marlanna seeks in vain for a job. : All else falling, she ex changee some of her clothes for a boy's In a second-hand store and tries to get a' job as an errand boy. It is during a fight with another boy that she meets Dexter Wright, played by Glenn Tryon, through whose efforts she lands a job which: leads lo the" unfolding of a very happy romance between her and her rescuer. ; : j . t i .

This is the senti ment as gathered from ev discus sion with both county -and state officiate. ; Last year both the state and county received tneir gas zor a flat price of 18 cents. .This year the oil companies have made an offer of a three-cent "reduction from prevailing prices.- At the present p'rice of gas the county and state would, have to pay 20 cents a gallon. If the price of gas went up the cost to the 'state and county would go up accordingly. County and state officials are afraid' that the oil companies are figuring on raising the price' and for this reason would much prefer to offer a differential in price rather than a flat guarantee. One official put it this way yes' terday: i "Even though there may be as overproduction In oil the eampan ies are not forced to dispose I their product at cheaper prtees. for the reason that the have im mense storage tanks and can put it away to await another rear if neccesary. 'If there was aa -fever production Of hops, for JaiUsse, the hoD growers would hare te sell and take their losses.
