LOVE A N D HISSES” NEW FILMUSICAL KURRLE SERVICES HELD A T STANFIELD Walter Winchell and Ben Bernie, those famous feudists who put puns Into their punches, are back for the greatest return match in history in “Love and Hisses,’’ coming Sunday to the Oasis theatre. This time the reason for all the barbed wit Is the fight over their new sweet-hot from Paris, the saucy and vivacious Si mone Simon, who sings operatic arias and popular ballads for the greatest surprise of the year.

The new farm security adminis tration, falling heir to the $14,227,000 apartment and group house commu nity on rolling, wooded terrain near Washington, promptly found itself involved in experimental nonprofit operation of a model little business district. AU three of the low-rent housing developments were begun by the Resettlement administration, target for much anti-New Deal criticism. Recently the FSA replaced Reset tlement and assumed the duty of ad ministering the new farm tenancy loan program. A ten-year lease had been signed by Resettlement with the Consumer Distribution corporation. To operate aU of Greenbelt’s commercial es tablishments, including a moving picture theater, when the develop ment receives its first tenants in a few weeks. The corporation was formed by Edward A. Filene, Bos ton merchant, to encourage co-op erative department stores. Herbert Evans, vice president, and Percy Brown, secretary-treas urer, announced after conferring with Secretary of Agriculture Hen ry A. Wallace on details of the program that “we are ready to be gin as soon as Greenbelt opens.” They explained that the organiza tion had been “drafted” to under take the operation of the Greenbelt establishments until co-operative committees at the settlement can take them over. “We are performing merely a public service,” Evans explained. “We are glad to help. But I doubt that we will continue for the fuU ten years because the resident com mittees should be able to be in fuU swing long before then.” Commander Walter Hamm of Her miston Post No. 37, American Le gion, has been appointed chairman Qf the local committee for the ob servance -if Army Day, April 6. His post officers and other representa- tive ctttxens will compose the com- mit tee.

Va.—The women are in the driver’s seat in this little town of 175 because “the men didn’t do anything but play checkers and gossip.” It was this alleged lack that permitted the women to take over the town government. The mayor, council, recorder, all the town’s officers are women. The women were swept into office by a 3-to-l vote—a victory that would not have been possible without support from the men, because there are as many men as women in the town. The only office still held by a man is that of town marshal, and the women expect to take over that position within a short time, be cause Marshal J. Mack Doty is eighty-four years old. But there is at least one man who is decidedly in favor of the change. He is K. D. Doak, good-natured op erator of the town's gasoline station and restaurant. “This ought to put Friendly on the map,” he said. “It’s the first time in West Virginia’s history that all women have been elected.” This scene was enacted many times In refugee centers established by the Red Cross during the Ohio-Mississippi Valley flood.-Inevitably floods bring the danger of disease as drinking sources become contaminated and large groups of people are thrown together. The medical-health service of the Red Cross serves thou sands each year, and is maintained by membership funds contributed to the organization at the time of Its annual Roll Call from Armistice Day to Thanks giving. ! ~ All Ready for Wildlife Week - Map 50 Years of Ocean Weather to Guide Planes New Orleans.—Use of weather ob servations made by ship captains during the last half century to de termine the safest air lanes for reg ular transoceanic flights is foreseen by W. F. McDonald, chief of the United States weather bureau here. Composite maps showing the weather tendencies at any point in the seven seas would be used by pilots to chart their routes, McDon ald said. From nearly 6,000,000 observations turned into the weather bureau at Washington, he has worked out charts, maps and other data to show the general weather tendencies all over the world. it Expedition Fails to Find Seal Breeding Grounds 4 Get there early while the choice is wide— fine cars now offered at rock-bottom prices T h is N a tio n a l U s e d C a r E xchange W e e k g iv e s y o u a great opportunity to O W N A B E T T E R C A R fo r a sm all in v e st m ent.

G. Allan Hancock, millionaire patron of the sciences, and a group of San Diego zoo offi cials, failed to reveal a trace of the long-sought breeding ground. Religious Bees Keep Members in Church North Manchester, Ind.—Ears of the Methodist church congre gation here were left buzzing as the result of the antics of a swarm of religious bees that crowded around the church en trance and threatened to disrupt services. Paul Hathaway, town marshal, freed the imprisoned parishioners by spraying the bees with gaso line and setting fire to the swarm. Gov. Charles H.
