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 climax brings the two feud
ists together at the opening of Ber

The ending is happy even though
the truce may be temporary.

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

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

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

ment receives its first tenants in a
few weeks. The corporation was
formed by Edward A. Filene, Bos

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.”

IN THE WAKE OF FLOOD
Town’» Women Officials
Say Men Loafed on Job
Friendly, W. 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

San Diego, Calif.—The age-old
mystery of the location of the breed
ing grounds of the female elephant
seal today still is as much of an
enigma as the fabled "graveyard
of the elephants.”
A thorough search of the Guada
lupe and Sedros islands, off the
coast of Mexico, by an expedition in
charge of Capt. 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.

services.
Paul Hathaway, town marshal,
freed the imprisoned parishioners
by spraying the bees with gaso
line and setting fire to the swarm.
