ing in London, and everybody gets
tilled, in the first 5 minutes of the
:how. They find themselves on a
royage bound for eternity and
iach one in turn has a meeting with
die examiner who prescribes
vhether they push clouds or shovel
:oal, determined by the things they
leserved by their mortal life ae-
;ions. The situations that develop
nake it a very interesting show on
die creepy side.
Lowdown: It will leave you a
letter person.
The second feature is “Prairie
dhicken”.
, Lowdown: ^our guess is as good
^s mine.
Showing Sunday is “Hollywood
Canteen” with Bette Davis, John
larfield, Jack Benny, Jack Carson,
Dennis Morgan, and just about any
ither star you can think of. Talk

good music are the background
For this production portraying the
Famous Hollywood Canteen. The
Andrew sisters sing a couple of
good songs, such as “Corns For
My Country” and others. The plot
;omes in when G'l Joe from New
guinea visits there in hopes of
neeting his dream girl, Joan Les-
ie. His vision becomes a reality
vhen the film star entertains ar-
•ange an introduction, plan a date
:or him with his idol, and advise
lim on love. A bang up romance
levelops, and she being a celebrity
eaves him room for some doubt
vhether she really loves him or
vhether it is just a publicity stunt,
it all ends up with everything
itrictly solid, with plenty of fun

star-studded cast, centered around
the excitement attendant to the
Cavalcade of Stars’ benefit show
and a mixup in contracts. This is
a Readers Digest version, but it
is a really good show with a pret
ty good plot for a musical.
Lowdown: Go see it.

Stag-line Etiquette:
Here are a few suggestions for
the poor stag who thinks he has to
go on dancing, dance after dance,
until someone else cuts in. Don’t
make it so hard for yourself. All
that is required is that you dance
one dance with encores, at any one
time with any one girl. Of course,
if you want other dances with the
same girl come back later, or even
ask her for the next dance but it is
not required. There are several
ways of disposing of the partner
with whom you have just danced.
When the music for the next dance
starts or a few moments before,
say:
(1) May I take you to your part
ner? (2) May I help you find your

Greenwood-Adams
Says Australia Cannot
Become Great Power
A. & M. students and College
Station residents Friday night
heard M. P. Greenwood-Adams dis
cuss the role of Australia as a new
force in world affairs at the local
First Baptist Church. He was the
concluding of four weekly lecturers
brought to this section by the
Bryan Rotary Club to explain the
relationship of the peoples of the
world to each other. Preceding
sessions had been on Russia, China
and the North Amercian continent.
While Australia has a definite
future sphere of influence for
world peace and security it never
can become a great world power
such, as the United States, the
speaked asserted. The island con
tinent has too much waste land
and her natural resources are too
limited to rival the U. S. as a con
trolling influence in the Pacific.
Greenwood-Adams traced the
historical development of the is
lands of the South Pacific and loca
ted the five main racial groups
native of these islands. He listed
these as the Polynesians, inhabit
ing the eastern islands, from Ha
waii on the north to New Zealand
on the south; Melanesians, on New
Guinea and in the Bismark and
Solomon archipelagoes; Malays, in
the Philippines and Dutch East
Indies, and lastly the aborigines of
Australia, whom the speaker said
were “near the bottom of the scale
of humanity.”
European explorations and con
quests were enumerated, in order,
by the Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch,
British and French until there was
a general grouping of colonial is
lands under flags of these coun
tries.
Germany became a factor in the
Pacific when that country pur
chased a number of island chains
from decadent Spain, and others
through claims on lands passed up
by other powers. German islands
north of the equator were mandated
to Australia. This transfer to Nip
pon paved the way for her bid
for domination in the East touched
off at Pearl Harbor.
Greenwood-Adams claimed i t
was in the Japanese strategy to-
bypass Australia and come on down
thru the Solomons to New Zealand
and thereby control a large string
of islands separating the home
land from the United States. Had
the Japs been able to do this it
would have made the war im
measurably longer and the task of
throwing the Japs out exceedingly
difficult. The United Nations, he
said, sensed Japan’s purpose, check
ed their drive near Port Moresby
in New Guinea and finally halted
the southward march in the Solo-
Mae-Bell Adkins Wed To Fernando Gonzalez
The marriage of Miss Mae Bell
Adkins, daughter of Mrs. Myra
Jones of Edinburg, Texas, to Fer
nando Gonzales-Alfaro, of Man-
gua, Nicaragua, was solemnized
at seven o’clock Sunday evening at
the Church of Christ with
R. B. Sweet performing the cere
mony. The bride wore a fuschia
suit with matching accessories and
her flowers were white gardenias.
Mrs. C. L. Andrews, sister of
the bride, attended the bride as
matron of honor. She wore a black
dress with black accessories and her
corsage was of pink tulips. Guiller
mo Moncada, of Honduras, was best
man.
The ceremony was followed by
a small reception held at the Char
les Hotel. The young couple will
make their home in College Station
where the grooln is a student in the
school of veterinary medicine. The
groom is a lieutenant in the army
of Nicaragua. Mrs. Gonzales is
employed in the office of Dr. G. S.
Fraps and is a former student of
Stephen F. Austin High School in
Bryan.
Rev. Farrell Discusses India At Regular
Meeting Of Campus Study Club Tuesday
Seder Banquet To Be
Held Wednesday Nite
A Seder banquet in connection
with Passover, a festival which
commemorates the deliverance of
the Jewish people from Egyptian
bondage, will be held Wednesday
evening, March 28 at 7:00 p. m. at
Duncan Hall. The Passover cele
bration is observed by the Jews
throughout the world as a symbol
of struggle for liberty and democ
racy.
The observance of the Festival
begins with a Seder service in the
form of a banquet on the eve
of the holiday date. The banquet
arrangement is a dramatic pre
sentation of the events connected
with the festival.
Dr. Ettlinger of Austin, chairman
of the department of Mathematics
will be in charge of the Services.
The affair is under the joint aus
pices of the Hillel Foundation at
College and the USO-JWB in Bry
an.

mons. To do this General MacAr-
thur was brought out of the Phi
lippines to take command in that
area and the combined U. S. and
Australian fleets were based
New Zealand.
Australia owes much to the Uni
ted States, Greenwood-Adams de
clared. In the first place, England
did not become interested in that
continent until the stupidity of
her rulers caused the Revolution
ary War and the loss of this coun
try as a possession. The Australian
constitution is patterned after that
of this country and American bu
sinessmen have left their influence
on Australian industries. In a
world-wide contest for a planned
capital city, Canberra, the plans
accepted were submitted by Wal
ter Burley of Chicago.
The speaker discussed at some
length the role Australia and New
Zealand have played in the two
world wars, the Anzac divisions of
three decades ago, and the sacri
fices of island troops in Africa,
Greece and the Singapore cam
paigns.
Future strategy was shown to
call for the United Statees forces
to head on up through the islands
to the Japanese home land or the
China coast; for the main body of
British forces to retake Burma,
Malaya, and the Dutch East In
dies, while current Anzacs exter
minate some quarter-million Japs
by-passed in the islands of the
Melanesian people.
The speaker closed with a re
sume of lend-lease and reverse
lend-lease. The two at this time
are near a balance and it was
Greenwood-Adams belief that the
future will see the scales tipped in
Anzac favor. Up to this time, he
asserted, these islands had been
furnishing many items to Ameri
can forces, including 83 per cent
of their food supplies.

lectures, going each noon to Ste

♦ The Campus Study Club room in
the Y. M. C. A. was rather like
an Oriental bazaar on Tuesday
afternoon with tables and screens
laden with objects of Far Eastern
art, exhibited by club members and
friends. Arrangements of spring
flowers graced the piano and occa
sional tables. Mrs. G. B. Stiles and
Mrs. Ida Kernodle were hostesses
for the afternoon.
The most important matter of
business disposed of under the lea
dership of the president, Mrs. John
Ashton, was the election of offi
cers for the ensuing year. These
officers are: President, Mrs. P. B.
Pearson; Vice-president, Mrs. H.
L. Heaton; Recording Secretary,
Mrs. J. L. Shawn; Corresponding
Secretary, Mrs. E. P. Humbert;
Treasurer, Mrs. C. W. Crawford;
Reporter, Mrs. Nat Edmonson;
Parliamentarian, Mrs. John Ash
ton; Auditor, Mrs. Roy Snyder.
The President-elect, Mrs. Pear
son, is a graduate in Speech of
Brigham Young University, Provo,
Utah, where her father is Profes
sor Emeritus. Her activity with
various types of club work began in
college and has continued when
time permitted. She gave an in
teresting report on the recent
stream-liner Fourth District Con
vention of the Federation held in
Houston, reporting that the Camp
us Study Club was awarded the
honor of second place for its
Yearbook. Mrs. M. C. Hughes,
from the Campus Study Club, was
elected Second Vice-president of
this District.
Mrs. G. S. Stiles introduced the
Reverend J. Hugh Farrell who
spoke on “India-The Land of Ma
hatma Gandhi”. He pulled aside
for a few moments the veil of
mystery which, for most of us,
shrouds this country, revealing a
surprising drabness and lack of
glamour. This peninsula with an
area of something over one million
square miles contains one-fifth
of the world’s entire population.
The debilitating effects of child
marriages, the crowded efforts to
sustain life on the impoverished
soil, the great illiteracy, all are
responsible for the strange social
conditions prevailing there.
It was pointed out that Christ
ian influence is felt very little be
cause of our inability, belonging
to the “untouchables”, to reach the
women who are dominating influ
ence in the impressionistic, pliable
years of early childhood. The great
est progress in this direction has
been made by the medical mis
sionaries.
In this nation we are able to see
all stages of civilization from its
dawn to the modern ages and Rev.
Farrell advocated our taking con
ditions in India as a warning to
ourselves of the evils of the caste
system and bureaucracy to the
end that we not allow ourselves as
a country to be thus stifled and
choked.
Exhibits of Oriental art from
India, Turkey, China, Japan and
the Philippines belonging to Mrs.
Ida Kernodle, Mrs. Bill Morgan,
Mrs. J. T. L. McNew, Mrs. J. C.
Gaines, Mrs. C. T. Spiker, Mrs G\
S. Frapps and Mrs. Sheldon Wimp-
fen were discussed and examined
in an interesting conclusion to the
program.
The next meeting of the club will
be a tea on Tuesday, April 3, ar
ranged by the Fine Arts and En
tertainment Committees.
