But you can't - depend on It.
There are vague stories of fur
tive individuals lurking in the
shadows who are willing to part
with a carton for a price, but
they don't seem to deal with
strangers.
Cigarettes' are ust plain
scarce. Even the members of
congress, who have their own
nice little restaurant in the base'
ment .of the Capitol and their
own. private subway lor going
back and forth without getting
their feet wet seem to be as hard
up for cigarettes as anyone else.
STILL this strange fact is ap
parent here as elsewhere.
Nobody . seems to be GOING
WITHOUT SMOKES. You see
very few rolling their own. Pipes
appear to be no more numerous
than in other times. The smoke
filled rooms are still filled with
smoke, and most of it is still
cigarette smoke.'
There are mysteries In the
modern world, and this is one of
them.
TJOUSEHOLD help,, here In
the upper fringes of the deep
South, is as scarce and as exotic
as everywhere.
This writer had dinner the
other night with a friend in
Alexandria. He and his wife
are doing the housework have
been doing it for quite a while
and expect to be doing it for
some time to come. rteason: o
help available at ANY Dnce.
In the course of the evening
we called another friend on the
phone to suggest that he drop
over lor. a little light conversa
tion. He just couldn't make it,
he said' regretfully.-as he was
taking care of his granddaughter
while ' his - daughter and her
back-f r o m-the-w a r s husband
were out to a show.
"I really needed to go back to
the office tonight myself," he
explained, "but we just can't get
any help at all, even baby-sitters.
So I'm doing the Job."
THIS, please remember, oc-
curred in Alexandria, just
over the Potomac in Virginia
from Washington, If help is
utterly unobtainable In Alex
andria, it's little wonder that it's
scarce elsewhere.
At High School Hugh Vin

On Fertiiixer
Shortage Here
Word has been received from
Representative Lowell Stock
man in Washington by the
chamber of commerce regarding
fertilizer allotments in the
Klamath basin area.
In response to inquiries from
County" Agricultural Agent C.
A. Henderson, Stockman stated
that he has spent considerable
time contacting officials of the
agricultural adjustment admin

board with the object of secur

Each of the agencies contact
ed, says Stockman, seemed co
operative, but are limited by
war and navy departments in
amounts of materials available.
It may be that as soon as Ger

Stockman said he would

t h e visiting officials, looking
toward possible further developments.

. Meanwhile, at a meeting o(
the'eity council, city officials de
clared their desire to cooperate
with housing authorities in con
nection with sewage outlet for
the 155-unit military housing
project soon to be started on
Washburn way.
. Mayor td ustenaorr ana uy
Engineer E. A. Thomas said that
the present city sewage facili
ties in that area are inadequate
to handle sewage from the proj
ect, and that it is hoped to get
government aid in constructing
a new line. They said they need
some government assurance of
such assistance before agreeing
to permit sewage connection.
The council authorized Mayor
Ostendorf to write various gov
ernment authorities assuring
them of the city's desire to co
operate. The city is willing to
pay part of the expense of the
construction, it was stated.
It is expected an application
will soon go through federal

Enough penicillin to treat 2000
cases has arrived here for dis
tribution to physicians, hospitals
and pharmacies in the north
west. . . ' .
The wonder drug is now be

well as military personnel.
Brown, brings to mind all the
dash and color of the old west,
for Johnny is a striking figure
who keeps fresh in our mumorlei
the romance of those early days
of the pioneers who nuide this
the country it is today.
But to moot Johnny Mack
Brown personally Is an added
pleasure in itself. Besides being
handsomo and possessing a mag
netic vitality which only comes
from clean, right living, ho is u
true southern gentleman, courto
ous mid kind. His firm hand
shake mid sincere smllo Imme
diately puts anyone at ease.
Johnny is truly from the
south, Dotluin, Ala., being his
home town. There lie attended
high school, colk-go and tho Uni
versity of Alabama.
Ho looks back with pleasure
upon his football days there. His
last game was played at the Rose
Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., against
the University of Washington.
The game was won by Alabama.
He went back homo as assist
ant coach at tho University of
Alabama, where ho married
"the most wonderful woman In
the world." Ho also won anoth
er championship that year.
When Johnny speaks of his
wife, who was Frances Cornelia
Foster, the daughter of Judge
Henry Bacon Foster, and his
family of three children, his faco
lights up happily. Jane Harriet
is utmost 15, John Lachliiu, 11,
and little Cynthia Foster, 0.
Tho University of Alabama
was playing Kentucky at Birm
ingham at tho time "Men of
Steel" was being made there, as
they used the big steel mills in
the picture. The cast included
Milton Sills, Mao Allison and
Doris Kenyon.
That was where Johnny met
George Fawcett. The two struck
u u a lasting friendship, Faw
cett became Interested, saying he
thought Johnny would screen
well. When Johnny came back
to tho Rose Bowl as coach, they
got together again, Johnny took
some tests, and thus began his
career In films.
His first picture was with
Marion Davles In "The Fair'
Coed," and tho second and third
with Joan Crawford, men two,
with Greta Garbo. followed by
one with Mary Pickford.
Then he started making west
erns and has been making them
ever since, and has a lot of fun
doing It. , '
Johnny says (hat above all
else, the secret to happiness and
success is always trying to do
tho right thing. "Of course."
ho said, smilingly, "I believe in
taking advantago of opportuni
ties coming my way." He has
dreams and ambitions, but
doesn't fret if sometimes they
come tumbling down. Instead he
has learned that very often
things turn out much better than
he planned. Faith In tho 'One
Higher Up' Is what it takes, he
says.
