BENEFICIAL RAINS
| CAME LAST WEEK
I Rainfall during the last week
of showers measured various
amounts in different localities,
ranging from .70 to just about
an inch in some places. Local
i gauges jead at about .71 of anj
inch in town. The manner in
which the rain fell gave the max-
imum benefit as very little ran
off. It fell slowly so that most
of the moisture was absorbed in
the soil.
Corn planting and gardening
will be the order of the day until
that work is done. Many farm-
ers are planning considerable
acres of early maize. /
LIONS ENTERTAINED BY .
EASTLAND SCHOOL CHOIR
The Acapella Choir of Eastland |
High School performed for the
Lions at their regular meeting
Tuesday. Directing this fine
group of 57 singers is W. H. Stan-
ley, principal of Eastland High
School.
Responsible for this fine pro-
gram—the best so far this year—
were Hiram Smith Jr. and Hil-
mar Wagner. J ug$r£ preceding
their performance for the Lions
Club the choir, which was on a
tour of nearby towns, sang for
the De Leon school students.
Lion President, J. C. Helm pre-
sided over the meeting. W. J.
Womack, superintendent of East-
land schools, and Buford Parten
were visitors. A very delicious
fried chicken dinner with ice
cream and cake was prepared by
the Rebekah Lades.
‘SUBMARINE COMMAND’ HITS
MARK WITH EXPLOSIVE SEA
ADVENTURE AT THE LEON
Paramount’s rousing sea dram-
a, “Submarine Command,” sails
full-steam-ahead into the Leon
Theatre Thursday and Friday,
trailing almost two hours of
spine-tingling supsense and ex-
citement in its wake. For its terse
account of the submarine Tiger
Shark and the fighting crew that
sailed her to glory north of the
38th Parallel, this action thriller
rates a twenty-one gun salute.
William Holden, Nancy Olson,
William Bendix and Don Taylor
are starred in this enactment of
a daring underseas exploit that
spelled life or death for 400
American soldiers in Korea. Pro-
duced by Joseph Sistrom and di-
rected by John Farrow, the pic-
ture zeroes in on a young sub
officer as he assumes his first
combat command and is forced!
to give an order that means
death to two shipmates. Con-
demned by his crew, he is given
a desk job, but gets a chance to
square things when he is re-
turned to sea duty at the start of
the Korean War.
In command of the undersea
raider Tiger Shark he speeds to
Korean waters for the most dan-
gerous undersea mission of the
conflict. The plan is to sail into
mine-infested waters far north of
the 38th Parallel and stand off-
shore to direct a combined land,
sea and air rescue of hundreds
of prisoners facing execution.
With the outcome of the ensuing
battle dependent on Holden’s
skill and daring, the film soars
to a thundering climax.
The excitement includes a per-
ilous underwater cruise into a
mined enemy harbor, frogmen
performing their death-defying
demolition, and jet dive bombers
supporting a paratroop assault.
The szzling action neatly under-
scores the personal drama of a
young skipper righting an old
wrong.
A vote of thanks is also due
the United Sates Navy who pro-
vide the carriers, subs and air-
craft involved in the wde-rang-
ing action.
For tense drama and sustained
excitement, you can’t ask for
more than “Submarine Com-1
mand”
