whose voice has been heard on the
radio by millions of listeners in this
county, makes her screen debut in

Deanna, an American girl, was born

Oklahoma City, Feb. 24.-
turlsts marshaled here for
against crop-killing wind
were told today the “dust bowl” is
spreading swiftly across the south-
west and creeping eastward in Okla-
homa at the rate of 30 miles a year.
Before the conference was a vari-
ety of methods of combatting the
dreaded “black blizzards.” Conferees
were prepared to ask the Federal gov-
ernment for aid because “the dust
problem is too big for nny one State
to handle.”
C. H Hyde, Alva, Okla., said he
had made observations that showed
the area of loose, .jjJiifting top soil
was marching eastward 30 or more
miles annually.
Declaring the dust area is spread-
ing swiftly over the southwest Giles
Milter, Guymon, Okla., publisher, said
“One Community, one county, even
one State can not handle it—it’s a
federal proposition.”
“We will have to follow a uniform
program in a 200-mile wide strip
stretching from North Dakota to the
southern edge of the Texas Panhan-
dle,” Miller declared.
- “I am of the opinion," Dr. Sears
said shortly before the conference
opened, “that deep listing is no per-
manent method of controlling dust.
. “After the ridges have been thrown
up, oxygen disintegrates the hard
clods and the dust continues to blow.”
Dr. Sears said cover crops were
the only solution to the dust prob-
lem, in his opinion, but added, “We
must use nature’s method.”
“The land* must first be allowed
to grow up in weeds," Dr. Sears
paid, “and then the grass can grow.”
Before the conference was a plan
worked out by a drouth meeting at
Laverne, Okla., to list the lands as
an emergency measure, plant “blow
lands” with a cover crop, and con-
struct small ponds with federal aid.
Julian Tarrant, planning board
erosion expert, declared “7,000,000
acres of Western Oklahoma land is
now damaged seriously by wind eros-
ion,” white in 1935 about 2,000,000
acres were “completely ruined by the
dust."
George Brent was born in Shan-
nonbridge, Ireland and educated at
the University of Dublin. He was for
a number of years an exile because
of his activities in an Irish rebellion.
George Brent is six feet one Inch in
height, weighs 170 pounds and has
black hair and hazel eyes.

Peter Lorre’s gift for language has
helped him immeasurably in his stage
and screen career. The European
star, who plays a featured role in
“Crack Up,” the 20th Century Fox
flying melodrama which shows at the
midnight ramble show Saturday, Feb.
2, has been in America but two years
yet, without instructions, he now
speaks English with no noticeable ac-
cent. He says that he is fortunate
because merely conversing with peo-
ple enables him to acquire a vocab-
ulary and learn pronounciations.
