i Mothers' Chorus Sings For Meeting; Officers Installed As a climax to the year, the Roosevelt Mothers' chorus sang or the last meeting of Roosevelt Parent-Teacher association, held recently at the school. The cho rus sang two groups of songs, with a total of seven numbers, receiving enthusiastic applause. The association is particularly proud of the chorus since it is the only group of its kind In Medford. Mrs. Harlan P. Bosworth Jr., spoke on the importance of re ligious education in the lives of American children. She said that the first great event in history was the creation of a human be ing with a soul, enabling man to deny his animal instincts and rise above the mere animal crea tures. Mrs. Bosworth said that children's ideals are usually de termined by the lives of charac ters they love and she suggested that parents give more thought to the spiritual welfare of their children by studying the Bible and observing the practice of family worship and graces in the home.

This worries one Brooklynite. Says he: "Not long ago in Italy an entire champion ship soccer team was killed In a plane accident. What a catastro phe it would be if an entire championship major league base ball team was in a similar acci dent. I'm worried. I wish Rickey would keep our beloved Dodgers on the ground." Loses Stogies Joining in a recent discussion here concerning the comparative prices per quart of milk in Mi ami, Fla., and New York city, a man named John Flournoy Mont gomery claimed all the major dairy products companies in the New York area were losing money. Mr. Montgomery added: "I will give a box of stogies to anybody naming a dairy prod ucts company of any size that made a profit in 1949." It looks as if the gentleman is stuck for the stogies. According to that re liable publication, the Rural New Yorker, the net profit of the Na tional Dairy Products company for 1949 was $33,258,853. That of the Borden company was $21, 890,479. Asking Queries from clients: Q. In what film did what actress intro duce the song, "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes"? A. Irene Dunne sang this song in the film ver sion of the stage hit musical, Roberta. However, the song was originally introduced in the stage version by that actress known, as Tamara. Q. Don't un derstand a word of French but I am very fond of listening to songs sung in that language on the radio. My wife says it is ri diculous to listen to songs in a language you don't understand. What do you think? A. Pay no attention to what your spouse says. French is a beautiful lan guage. French singers, especially of the feminine gender, put a lot of feeling into a song. I don t understand much French but I buy all the records of Lucienne Boyer, the trench chanteuse, and can listen to them all night.

Among the Married What were you wearing when married? Does your husband re member? Of course, if you had a church wedding that is easy to recall. But if you were married by a justice of the peace or other quaiitiea person, your weaaing day attire might be difficult for your husband to recall. However. if he doesn t remember, don t blame him. He was probably just looking into your eyes. There are illumerable versions of that poem dealing with the color of the bride s attire. Here is ona a California matron recalls: Married In while.

Pleata Note The most brilliantly acted play of the current New York theat rical season is, in my opinion, "The Innocent s." Beatrice Straight, the star, is destined to be our first lady of the theater some day. David Cole is the most remarkable boy actor I have ever seen. And I have seen a lot of them.
