released on a downtown street

downtown theater during the

Virginia Simms
To Be Seen Here
In Kyser Picture
Since the recent stories in the
Panhandle Herald, many persons
have wanted to know when Vir-
ginia Simms will be in Panhandle
in the Kay Kyser feature film,
"That's Right You're Wrong."
Manager H. B. Skelton has an-
onuuced that Ginny Simms will
be here today and Saturday in the
film at the Panhandle Theater.
Ginny Simms has a wide follow-
ing in the Kay Kyser radio show,
and her singing is considered
most distinctive.
Cast of "That's Right, You're
Wrong," includes Kay Kyser,
Adololie Menjou, May Robson,
Lucille Ball. Dennis O'Keefe, Ros-
coe Karns and Ginny Simms.
Ginny- Simms is a neice of
George L. Simms and Frank
Simms of Panhandle. As a child
she lived in Pampa, and many
persons thought she was born ir
that city. A check though showed
that she was born in South Texas
Skelton said that the picture
has all of Kyser's radio associates,
the band turning in one great
number after another. Adolph
Menjou gives a wonderful imper-
sonation of a film producer and
May Robson contributes a warm
character bit.
This will be the opportunity to
see a girl who lived in the Pan-
handle area as a child show how
much she has achieved as a mo-
tion picture star.

Roberts Urges Teach-

Scout Age
Rotary President
Talks at Abilene
Needs of Boy Scout work in
Panhandle were emphasized in a
30th anniversary week program at
the Rotary Club luncheon Friday
noon. C. P. McCollough was chair-
man of the program.
Fred Roberts of Pampa, execu-
tiev of the Adobe Walls Council,
urged Rotarians and Panhandle
to get behind Scouting. He held
that unless Americanism and high
'deals were learned by a boy dur-
ing his Scouting years, that it
would be too late when he went to
college.
Roberts said that there are
300,000 American Boy Scouts to-
day and that 9.000',000 have been
touched by Scouting in 30 years.
He urged that boys be encour-
aged to become Boy Scouts. "You
never dodge the cost 'of raising
bcTT<a." Roberts said.
H. G. Robinson. Scoutmaster of
Trooip 1, pleaded for the coopera-
tion of adults in Panhandle, also
for better equipment and a better
place in which to meet. He told of
the intense interest of the boys in
various crafts and of the need for
work benches.
Robinson said that there were
not even seats for the boys for
their formal programs. He said
that, his troop needed American
and Boy Scout flags.
Following: the program Frank
A. Paul asked questions and it
was learned that the flags would
ooot around $10. Rotarians con-
tributed $10.50 fop the flags and
the money was turned over to
Mr. Robinson.
Sam Goodner, Scoutmaster of
T'roon 8. said he was assistant to
Pevton Beavis and inherited the i
job when Reavis left last May. As
the Rotary club sponsored the |
troop for many years, he urged
Rotarians not to forget it.
When business men are named
counselors to nass on merit
badges, he urged that they bo
strict in their examinations and
tests. Slackness in testing mfeans
trouble for boys in passing for
advanced merit badges, Goodner
said.
Smith, council Scout com-
missioner, and J. C. McCollough.
assistant Scoutmaster of Troop
1. wore guests oif the committee
in charge along with the other
Scout leaders.
Visiting Rotarians were Bob

you our sincere appreciation for
each lovely deed and kind
thought. The warmth 'of your
friendship helped when we needed
.it most, and it is our wish that
you. too, may always feel the joy
that is ours.
