Lexington Water
Project Progressing
"Some people seem to think all
that is necessary is just to write in
and ask for it," . said Mayor Tom
Barnett of Lexington in referring
to progress on Lexington's PWA-as-
sisted water system when in town
Tuesday. It takes more than one
writing, however, said he, alluding
to a great number of forms which
the city's attorney had spent two
days in helping to fill out and which
hadn't yet been completed.
"Oh, it's coming alright," Lexing
ton's mayor averred, "but we've still
got lots of writing to do." It was ex
pected things would soon be in shape
for advertising for bids. -

"Inside the Magi not Line" is the
one topic covered by March of Time
which will be shown Wednesday
Thursday, Nov. 30-Dec. 1. This is a
revealing picture of the defenses be
hind which France waits for the
next war. The marvelous system of
underground fortifications is pic
tured in such detail that you will
wonder how the French government
could have permitted the film to be
taken. Just about tops in interest.
"DRUMS" is the feature, with Sa
bu who caused so much favorable
comment when we showed him in
"Elephant Boy." Plenty of romance,
intrigue, glamour, the spell of In
dia as only Kipling has ever done
it ... in beautiful technicolor . . .
another prominent player in the
cast is Raymond Massey who is cur
rently making such a hit on the
New York stage in "Abe Lincoln in
Illinois.
