Great Production
ALL the Hollywood superlatives
may well be applied to "Gone
With the Wind," ranking American
literary masterpiece by Margaret
Mitchell, the superb movie produc
tion of which made its' latest ap
pearance at the local theater Sunday
and Monday.
While running the gamut of emo
tional appeal and revealing vagaries
of humankind, it leaves one fascin
ated by the heights to which the
art of technicolor and sound pro
cesses in movie production have pro
gressed, t
The "deep South" of old, which
the author referred to as "gone with
the wind," relives in all its romantic
splendor, while revealed with great
artistic deftness are moments of
man's less oonscionable moments.
Above all, the picture drives home
the "uselessness of waste," as Rhett
JButler put it, through the destruc
tion ot life and property in war.
It was becoming of the author and
the screen version that the wounds
between north and south were not
reopened. The story was so realis
tically told that one felt only the
characteristics of mankind generally
at work. No gross exaggeration of
detail at any point gave melodram
atic effect.
The critics have already done the
story and the picture proper honor
as have the millions of Americans
who read the book and viewed the
screen production, but "Gone With
the Wind" is a story and a picture
that becomes alive and vital when
ever it is told or seen a gret pro
duction that shall live with the ages.

I Poppy Day Purpose
Told by Auxiliary
Memory of America's war dead in
the first World war will be honored
here on Saturday May 24, when ev
eryone will be asked to wear a
memorial poppy in tribute to their
service and sacrifice.
Plans for the observance of Poppy
Day are being completed by the
Heppner unit of the American Le
gion Auxiliary under the leadership
of Mrs. Alva Jones, Poppy Day
chairman. The memorial flowei';,
made by disabled war veterans, will
be offered on the streets throughout
the day by the auxiliary women.
"This year, with the threatening
shadow of a new World war falling
across America, the memorial pop
py has new significance," said Mrs.
Jones. "It shows that America still
remembers and honors those who
fell in its defense twenty-three
years ago; that Americans still be
lieve that America's free way of
life is worth any sacrifice, and that
the spirit of patriotism still burns
strongly in American hearts.
"The poppies grew on the battle
front in France where the young
men of America defeated the mili
tary might of autocracy in a gallant
display of the strength of aroused
democracy. When we wear them on
Poppy Day, their bright red blooms
will remind us that our democracy
has the strength to repel any dan
gers if we will serve as they serv
ed There is inspiration for us all
m the poppy of great memories.
The poppies which the auxiliary
will distribute here have been made
by disabled veterans at Portland
Veterans' hospital. All Poppy ' Day
workers will serve as volunteers and
all of the money contributed to them
for the flowers will go into the wel
fare funds of the auxiliary to carr
forward Ihe auxiliary's work for the
disabled, their families and the fam
ilies of the dead during the year
ahead.

MANAGING SMOKER
Morrow county's leading sDorts
manager, Fred Hoskins. recently un
dertook a new line of activity when
he acecpted the job of promoting a
tight card for the biff celebration to
he held at Stanfield on the 4th of
July. Fred says any local boys who
may be interested in appearing
should get in touch with him. The
Stanfield plans call for a motorcycle
race for which the town is snendine
$700. Fred said.
Odd, isn't it the way everybody notices
the sore thumb?
It's the same way with the retailing of
beer. Everybody knows about the one
undesirable place... everybody seems to
forget about the thousands of worth
while retailers who operate clean, decent,
law-abiding establishments.
To protect the good name of beer, we
of the beer industry want the few...
but noticeable... "black sheep" retailers
eliminated.
That's not all. Such retailers endanger
an industry that brings important eco
nomic benefits to the community. Right
here in Oregon beer provides employ
ment for 13,238 persons, supports an
annual payroll of $11,541,550 and con
tributed $617,020.86 last year in state
taxes.
This state, too, has an important stake
in the beer industry's purchases for
materials, equipment, and services
from more than 100 other industries.
You can help us protect these benefits
in two ways by (1) patronizing only
the law-abiding places where beer is sold
and (2) by reporting any irregularities
you may observe to the duly constituted
authorities.
