It’s big ger, better and funnier than the stage show by far, advance critics claim. For us moviegoers who are ever- hungry for first-rate entertain ment, the news that “Louisiona Purchase" is on its way is mighty welcome. The fact that the stars of the new celluloid carnival of entertainment are Bob Hope, Vera Zorina and Victor Moore, makes the coming showing something to be looked for. Supporting these stars are Irene Bordoni, Dona Drake, Raymond Walburn and Maxie Rosenbloom. And, in the film, too, are those widely-her alded dimpled dollies, the Louisi ana Lovelies, who sing, dance, and knock your eye out. To make things still more enticing, the tunes heard in the picture were written by the incomparable Irving Berlin. The three top numbers are “Tomorrow Is A Lovely Day,” “You’re Lonely and I'm Lonely" and "Louisiana Purchase.” New Orleans serves as the lo cale of the story, which concerns the comic activities of a political band, whose innocent dupe, Bob Hope, finally wises up to their ac tivities. Bob enlists the aid of Zorina, and, with the beautiful dancer, turns the tables on Victor Moore, a baggy-trousered crusader out to prosecute the malefactors. Needless to say, thf* accent is on comedy, music and the parading of gorgeous femininity. Rest as sured that the accent will be en joyable with Bob Hope as the in nocent dupe, who is perfect for this sort of fun-making with beautiful Vera Zorina and comic Victor Moore. Local film fans should have a grand time at “Louisiana Pur chase," with its stars, songs, sweet ies and story, tested and proved already as a hit show for 58 weeks on Broadway. “SILVER TEA” FOR O'BRIEN CLUB The O'Brien Women’s club met on Wednesday, May 13th, at the home of Mrs. Nellie Wilbur, presi dent. The change in date was necessary due to the primary elec tion on Friday. The gathering at Mrs. Wilbur’s home afforded a great opportunity to those who had not yet seen her marvelous col lection of bottles which are on dis play in a specially built house. This being a “Silver Tea” meet ing honoring Mother’s Day, many lovely poems were read by the var ious ladies. Some on the serious side, some humorous and al) very- entertaining. A comedy by the Club Players proved to be a huge success. The leading lady, Blanche Lackey, deserves honorable men tion, and the two “kids" played their parts very mischievously. Hostess Nellie Wilbur and her assistants, Ella Patrick and Audrey Lemmon, served a very delicious dessert luncheon. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Morris instead of Mrs. Fessler. Members kindly note the change, and bring your favor ite recipe. Visitors were Mrs. Naomi Seat and Edna Hoskins. ■ —o------------- SUGAR STAMP NO. 2 WILL EXPIRE MAY 30 Stamp number one is no longer good and you have until midnight, May 30, to use stamp No. 2 from your war ration book in purchas ing one pound of sugar, it was | emphasized Wednesday by the ra tion board. Stamp No. 3 will be similarly used from May 31 to June 13, and stamp No. 4 from June 1 4 to June ■ 7. The remaining 24 stamps in the book may be used for other com modities, if the necessity for ra tioning of other supplies arises. , The Illinois Valley chamber of commerce in sponsoring the In ter-County Conference at the American Legion hall on May Sth inaugurated a movement of far reaching significance. The pur pose of the conference was to greatly quicken the war and peace time development of the vast min eral and other strategic natural re sources which our counties have in such abundance. The object of the conference was achieved in the fact that today (Thursday) a con ference is convening in Grants Pass with representatives from Curry, Del Norte, Siskiyou, Jack- son and Josephine counties to ef fect a permanent organization. Mayor W. E. Moore of Grants Pass presided at the sessions of the May Sth conference and guid ed the discussions. Judge W. A. Johnson spoke on “Fields and Forests"; C. H. De maray on “Meeting the Transpor tation Problem”; F. I. Bristol on "Mining and Marketing Minerals”; Richard McElligott on “The Val ues in Our County Lands"; Dav id L. Webb on “Conserving the Forests by Preventing Fires"; C. A. Cronkite on “The Crescent City Harbor”. Additional industries through various suggested projects were freely mentioned in the en livening discussions. The various common interests of the counties were summed up as follows: 1. Improved transportation fa cilities by air, rail and sea for the counties in southern Oregon and northern California. 2. Better marketing facilities for agricultural and dairy pro ducts. 3. Complete the building of the harbor at Crescent City. 4. Secure congressional action which will permit the federal gov ernment to pay counties a tax on forest reserve lands. 5. Arouse communities to the importance of cooperating in the present large plan of federal aid for developing irrigation projects. 6. Lend support to present en larging scheme to build major roads and highways to tap re gional resources. 7. Facilitate the sale of ripe timber in national forests. Mr. C. H. Demaray is chairman of the Committee on Permanent Organization to report at the meet ing in Grants Pass today. LOCAL CHAMBER MEETING TUESDAY Last Tuesday noon, the Illinois Valley Chamber of Commerce held their regular weekly meeting. Most of the time was taken up discus sing the proposed Inter-County conference to be held in Grants Pass Thursday, May 21. Dr. Brown told of the many im portant subjects to be brought be fore the conference and pleaded for a large attendance from the valley. This meeting is important, and since the Inter-County organiza tion eminated from the kical cham ber, it should be well represented. M. C. Athey explained some of the details of the coming Army, Navy and L'SO Relief drive. The valley is going to be called on for its share of the county quota, and arrangements were being made to handle this drive in the valley. Next Tuesday, there will be much to tell and discuss at the chamber meeting and all interest ed should attend. o------------- CO A TO DRILL FRIDAY NITE Co.

The object was a worthy one. and nickels, dimes, quarters, halves and a lot of dollars were dropped in the hat as the local Legionnaires passed it around. The total for the Cave City thea tre for last Saturday and Sunday nights was $30.00. This is a grand tribute from the valley, and it will be appreciated by those in want during the time their boys are in the service. The valley is to be congratulated and so is Manager Roberts for his cooperation. Ellsworth Writes Appreciation To Voters A sincere “thank you" to the voters of the Cave Junction area was contained in a letter received by the Illinois Valley News today from Hairi* Ellsworth, successful candidate for nomination for rep resentative in congress on the Re publican ticket.

ASK DEFERMENT, KEY FARM MEN The Oregon Cattle and Horse Raisers' association, meeting re cently at John Day, affirmed full support of the war effort, but voiced opposition to strikes in de fense industries.
