Over Station KXOX
The compelling, true experien-
ces of real people form the bas-
is of the fascinating dramas in
the new radio series, Modern Ro-
mances, which Sunbeam Market
present over KXOX brings to the
air every Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday, Friday, at 0:30 a. m.
These timely stories, taken
from the pages of Modern Ro-
mances Magazine, hold the mir-
ror to present-day life, in their
dramatization of actual experien-
ces will he found situations par-
alleling those of many of the lis-
teners. Down through the ages,
the greatest writers have drama-
tized the common, human prob-
lems of everyday existence, and
by so doing have illuminated
them, thus proving the way to
their solution.
The cast of big-name radio
dramatic stars include Vicki Vo-
la, famous as the feminine lead
in Mr. District Attorney: Carl
Frank, well-known actor, com-
mentator and announcer: Joseph
Julian, who currently has the
lead In Foreign Assignment and
plays Archie in the Nero Wolfe
series: lovely Lesley Woods who
is regularly heard in Bright Hor-
izons, Inner Sanctum. The Man
I Married and countless others:
I Audrey Totter, featured fn ('is-
j co Kid. Road of Life. Radio Rea-
ders' Digest: Mvron McCormick,
i star of numerous stage and radio
shows including The Man Be-
hind The Gnn, Manhattan At
| Midnight; and many other equal-
ly well known radio artists.
Leola Buelow. well-known ra-
dio writer, who has adapted
these gripping stories for radio,
lias included a wide variety of
material with appeal for men as
well as women, to voting and to
eld. Each program in the series
is a complete story in itself,
which will lie pleasing to the
many listeners averse to serials.

Nazis Have Scheme
To Save Leaders
PARIS (UP) — Reliable sour-
ces say the Germans are work-
ing on a scheme to enable some
leading Nazi war criminals to
escape to Switzerland, Spain and
other neutral countries.
Linder, tne plan, which moat
certainly will be rejected by
the Allies, the German criminals
would offer to release some hun-
dreds of thousands of French
and other Allied political prison-
ers in Germany in exchange for
their own immunity.
The plan has not yet been
made through diplomatic chan-
nels, but' information reaching
Paris indicates the Nazis have
made full preparations to launch
the campaign by propaganda
channels soon.
The propaganda campaign ap-
parently would be aimed at the
families and friends of 2,r>(M>.()00
French war prisoners and poli-
tical deportees. The Nazis prob-
ably figure these persons would
cause enough pressure on the
French government to force ac-
ceptance of the proposition.

It is now the t!me of year when the farmer is starting on
another crop We would appreciate the pleasure of discussinq
with you any financing you might have in mind. THIS BANK
HAS MONEY TO LOAN AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR.
We enjoy being your bank. We feel that you v/onld rather
borrow from the bank than from nny Governmeni agency. Our
bank pays a large amount of taxes each year on ali of its capi-
tal, surplus and profits, and real estate, which helps the Coun-
ty, the Schools, and the City. Government agencies pay no
taxes whatever, exccpf cn real estate owned and a small
amount of personal piopcrty, and r-e tl erefer: of less value
to these institutitions. Whatever affects a County, a City, and
the Schools affects every person living in the community.
You v/ill find cur interest rate satisfactory, so if you are
ip need of a loan to finance your crops or livestock, for ma-
chinery, or for any other purpose, il will pay you to discuss it
with us first.
