Tragedy Queens Hit Top
In 1951 Hollywood Fare
By GENE HANDSAKER
AP Newsfeaiure Writer
HOLLYWOOD—Tragedy is the vehicle that has carried most of
1951’s movie actresses to the heights where critics’ praises are the
sweetest and fans’ applause the loudest.
Insanity, unwed motherhood, murder—old dramatic mainsprings
—have powered several plots whose heroines appear among the
Shelley Winlers
Vivien Leigh
Eleanor Parker

brightest bets for Oscar honors
next March.
Vivien Leigh in “A Streetcar
Named Desire,” for instance.
Twelve years ago she copped the
Academy award as the spitfire
Southern beauty, Scarlett O’Hara,
in “Gone With the Wind.”
Now the British star is probably
the outstanding feminine per
former of the past year as another
Southerner, pathetic Blanche Du
Bois in the screen adaptation of
Tennessee Williams’ stage hit.
Shy, bitter, secretly scheming,
Blanche is a tarnished belle who
tries to live down a sordid past
in new surroundings in a shabby
New Orleans flat. She goes mad
after being raped by her brother
in-law.
Then there’s Eleanor Parker as
the wife of a cruel, criminal
hating police detective (Kirk
Douglas) in “Detective Story.”
His intense love for her turns to
bitterness when he learns she
bore a baby out of wedlock be
fore they met.
Miss Parker extracts the full
dramatic impact from her role as
several interconnecting sub-plots
swirl through a busy day in a
Manhattan precinct police station.
Shelley Winters, one-time five
and-dime clerk, gives far and
away the finest performance of
her seven-year film career in “A
Place in the Sun.” In this -adapta
tion of Theodore Dreiser’s novel,
“An American Tragedy,” she is a
factory worker who befriends a
lonely newcomer to the produc
tion line (Montgomery Clift).
When she becomes pregnant,
barring his romantic progess with
a rich young society beauty, he
accidentally drowns her in a lake.
A jury convicts him of murder.
Miss Winters’ -acting is her best
since 1947’s “A Double Life”—
in which, coincidentally, she was
murdered by Ronald Colman.
Drab and deglamorized in “A
Place in the Sun,” she played the
role without ev lipstick. A $4
ready-to-wear dress was her most
expensive item of wardrobe.
White House automobiles are
not the personal property of U.S.
Presidents. They -are leased by
the government from manufac
turers, who supply the cars at
nominal rates because of the pub
licity value.
A Fellow Can Eat A Pancake “Snowman”!
Log Cabin Photo
If Johnny likes to cook, aid and abet him. He may not be a famous
chef in the making—but at least he'll glow up to have a culinary
“specialty” that will provide his wife with a night off occasionally!
With real snowmen just around the corner, Johnny will enjoy pre
paring—and eating—a pancake snowman. You provide the batter and
give Johnny the green light. He'll love you for it—now and later, and
he'll be encouraged to eat a good, a real American breakfast. Add to
the boy's props, a can of maple-blended syrup, crisp broiled bacon,
butter, and a bowl of plump raisins. Eyes and buttons-down-the-front
of each snowman will make a gay picture on the breakfast plate—
the snowman liberally covered with njaple-blended syrup will have
melt-in-the-mouth goodness. 1
Add fruit in "season, a tail glass of milk, and your Johnny c^n have
a real American breakfast of his own making!
Snowmen Pancakes
Use your favorite pancake recipe. Then, to make each snowman,
pour spoonfuls of batter onto hot greased griddle, dropping batter
so as to form small, medium and large circles, close enough together
so that they will overlap to make a snowman. Bake to a golden brown,
then turn, and brown on other side. Remove pancakes to a warm Dlate
The Youth Council of the for
mer United Christian Youth Fel
lowship of Nome wish to an
nounce to the public that they
are now affiliated with Youth for
Christ International. Henceforth
the rallies held the first Saturday
of each month will be under the
name of "Youth for Christ."
Due to the fact the School
Board of the Nome High School
does not see fit to have these
gatherings held in the school the
next meeting will be held Sat
urday. January 5 at 8 p.m. in the
Assembly of God Church. The
usual lively program has been
prepared with local talent from
the four cooperating churches
taking part. The guest speaker
will be the Rev. Arthur Freeburg
of the Nome Gospel Mission.
Youth Far Christ Policy
“And herein do I exercise myself to
have always a conscience void of of
fense toward God, and toward men,”
fActs 24:16)
General Policy
Youth for Christ International
is a world-wide evangelistic \
movement specializing in mass
evangelism, particularly among
youth. It recognizes no nation
as home or foreign, and desires
to cooperate with all who win
souls to Christ.
Objectives
1. Evangelism. To promote
evangelism in our generation.
2. Missions. To reach the un
reached in the shortest possible
time.
3. Revival. To stimulate revival
in the Body of Christ.
Relationship to Churches
We believe that the Church is
God’s chosen agency, and that
no movement or organization
can ever take its place. It is not
our policy in any manner to
infringe on the church, or to
become a denomination. We en
courage wherever possible the
choice of directors who are not
pastors of local churches. As far
as possible we strive to avoid
any conflict with the estab
lished worship services of the
churches. We encourage that
the results and benefits of
Youth for Christ be channeled
into the local churches.
World Program
It is the purpose of Youth for i
Christ International to cooper
ate with all approved evangeli
cal missionary societies in the
various countries of the world
by sending teams to specialize
in mass evangelism.
Physical Properties
It is the purpose of Youth for
Christ International to discour
age the purchase of real pro
perties by local rallies.
Rallies
Recognizing that the prime pur
pose of Youth for Christ rallies
is the reaching and winning of
unchurched young people, we
believe that the rallies should
not be church services. We
therefore should provide the
best in attractive, sparkling
programming, leading up to
concise and complete Gospel
presentations and purposes.
Purpose and Aim
1. To encourage the establish
ment of Youth for Christ rallies
wherever the Lord leads, while
providing help and encourage
ment to all existing rallies.
2. Youth for Christ is inter
church, non-political and non
sectarian.

EASIER TO REMEMBER
OMAHA, (.'P>—A man appeared
at the auto license bureau and
requested a special number—144. 1
“Why that particular number?”
he was asked.
Ever thrill to the eight of a
sabre-winged jet fighter—out
racing the sound of its own engines as it knifes through
the summer sky?
Whenever you see this exciting—and reassuring—spec
tacle, remember the crew chief you see here, crouched in
the engine compartment of an F-84. Remember that it’s
men like him, with their patient tuning and tooling, their
superb intelligence and skill, their devotion to your defense,
who keep these jets in the air. Hornet-ready at an in
stant’s notice to protect your family and you*
Remember also that defense is your job, too. And one of
the most important ways you can do that job best is to ;
buy U. S. Defense* Bonds. For your bonds help keep
America strong economically, just as the Air Force helps
keep her strong militarily. And it’s this combined strength
that protects your town, your home, your right to work
and prosper in peace. For your security, and your coun
try’s, too, buy Defense Bonds regularly — through the
Payroll Savings Plan where you work or the Bond-A
Month Plan where you bank.

The U. S. Defense Bonds you buy give you
personal financial independence
Remember that when you’re buying Defense Bonds you’re
building a personal reserve of cash savings. Money that will
some day buy you a house or educate your children, or support
you when you retire. Remember, too, that if you don’t save
regularly, you generally don’t save at all. So go to your com- ;
pany’s pay office — now— and sign up to buy Defense Bonds
through the Payroll Savings Plan.
Don’t forget that bonds are now a better buy than ever. Be
cause now every Series E Bond you own automatically goes
on earning interest every year for 20 years from date of »
purchase instead of TO. This means that the bond you bought
for $18.75 can return you not just $25—but as much as $33.33!
A $37.50 bond pays $66.66. And so on. For your security, and
your country’s, too, buy U. S. Defense Bonds now!
