WHAT SAINT JO THINKS
Some of the opinions expressed by our citizens on the
■uuiksgiving day question:
"It doesn't matter to me. The turkey will taste just as
jpflo one day as a week later."
"Yeah, it's O.K. (this from one of the younger set) only
fiflrah they'd set aside two days of the week for Sunday, so
wouldn't have to work so much."
"Why don't they put it to the vote of the people ? We'd
MAI have the same Thanksgiving day then."
^ don't like it."
'The idea of Thanksgiving has been changed since the
of the Pilgrim fathers, who established it. Let's not
■wteoe over the specific date, let's bend our efforts to make it
A-reaf day of thanksgiving."
"When are they going to change Xmas?"
"It's all right, if it is better for business."
"•Looks like we're going to have two Thanksgivings."
'"Roosevelt is taking too much authority."
"It will disrupt school and college schedules."
From one of Saint Jo's best citizens: "No matter what
flfce president or governors say, there are just 365 days of
JuuiLsgiving to me every year."

SATISFACTION
Ginger Rogers in
"Bachelor Mother"
At Texas Theatre
The mirth-makinir talents which
Ginger Rogers exhibited to effec-
tively in such previous hits as
"Stage Door" and "Vivacious Lady"
ars developed to new hilarious
heights In the Texas Theatre's cur-
rent offering Monday and Tuesday,
"Bachelor Mother."
Miss Rogers enacts the role of a
department store salesgirl who sud-
denly becomes a synthetic mother.
She finds an abandoned baby, and
fkspite her frantic denials, the whole
world believes she Is the tot's mama.
When she plans to abandon the
bahy herself, the boss Informs her
that he will so ostracize her in the
business world that she will never
have a chance to earning her liveli-
hood—and all because she refuses to
fulfill her duty to society: raising
"her" baby!
Hopelessly Ginger accepts the
task. When a romance springs from
h;:r boss' constant meetings with her
ubder the guise cf assisting her in
bringing up baby, Ginger's self-
appointed Jealous boy friend apprises
her boss' father that his son is
actually the infant's father. The
Ixss' father demands that his son
marry Ginger so that he can right-
fully assert his role as grandfather
tr the baby, and the story assumes
hilarious, side-splitting proportions!
Matching Ginger's splendid por-
trayal is that of her co-star David
"'yen, seen as the boss. With
Charles Coburn as the frustrated
grandfather. Prank Albertson as
Ginger's green-eyed admirer, E. E.
Clive as an acidulous butler, Perike
Boros and Ernest Truex in the fea-
tured cast, "Bachelor Mother"
boasts a superb acting roster.
Carson Kanin, remembered for
his brilliant work on "A Man to
Remember" and "The Great Man
Votes," directed "Bachelor Mother"
fiom the clever screenplay by Nor-
man Frasna. A production by B. G.
DeSylva, "Bachelor Mother" is an
RKO Radio Picture.

\Vould be a priceless book, were some compiler to put

At such a time one father's only words were these, "Son,

The son was a success.
Would it make any difference if we took this maxim as

Because it is the easiest thing to do and bring less strain

AND Irs A FACT that a penny is
BIG MONEY WHEN YOU SPEND
rr FOR ELECTRICITY
The penny is Uncle Sam's smallest coin but it's
big money when you spend it electrically. At
this company's low average rate, one cent will
light a (>0-watt bulb nearly three hours. It
will make 10 slices of toast or percolate t cups
of coffee. It will wash a big tubful of clothes
or vacuum clean two large rugs daily for a
week. It will provide two hours of radio en-
tertainment. In fact, if you paid for y0ur
electricity as you used it, pennies would pav
yout electric bill.
