PAGE 12 THE SUN, BALTIMORE, THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 24, 1944 Good GIs Want Candy, Books For Christmas "Canterville Ghost" Morning vpr wmmmmmmm By Donald Kirkley There never was an odder, funnier phantom than "The Canterville Ghost," who is now haunting the Century in the M-G-M photoplay by that name. His name is Sir Simon, and he took up his grisly business in the early 17th century; All the Cantervilles were cowards, and Sir Simon was pot the least of them. He was doomed to roam the family mansion and care folks out of their wits until such time as a Canterville would perform a deed of valor in his name. This i described in a brief prologue. we behold the castle as it was a year or so ago, deserted by.

the little Lady Jessica Margaret O'Brien and occupied by a platoon of American Rangers, hard-bitten, skeptical and ready for anything except collision with a genuine, howling, chain-rattling, versatile ghost. The fun begins when Sir Simon (Charles Laughton), loyal to his task despite his natural reluctance to terrify his country's American allies, begins seeping through keyholes and going through his clever bag of tricks. Chummy With Ancestor Of course, one of the Rangers (Robert. Iff wounded recently while serving with the 29th Division. Weight will be an all-important consideration when selecting his gifts.

Th lighter the' better," he wrote his mother, "When traveling on the front lines, we move fast and can 'carry no unnecessary weight. His packages will include cigarettes, stationery, chocolate candy and a wool sweater, muffler and gloves. He requested the last three "just in case we are still in the front lines during the cold weather." To Get Plenty Of Reading Doctor and Mrs. C. Loring Joslin, of 4400 Roland avenue, are planning to send Ensign Charles Loring Joslin.

somewhere in the Pacific, plenty of reading material. In addition there will be a box of odds and ends comb, tooth brush, toothpaste, necktie, shoestrings, playing cards, etc. The Booze brothers William and Robert-could never keep a fountain pen far 12 months and the navy hasn't taught them how, according to their father, Joseph L. Booze, of Mount Washington. "Yes, the boys will get fountain pens every year we get them fountain pens.

And then maybe candy, cookies, stationery and a few little trinkets, such as cuff links," Mr. Booze said. In South Pacific William, a chief engineer with the navy, and Robert, who is an ensign, are serving in the South Pacific theater. Lieut Richard L. Campbell, also in the South Pacific with the navy, will receive a Christmas gift of a camera and some film.

His wife, who lives at 301 Edgevale road, persuaded her family to part with the camera and has been buying the film piecemeal for months. Candy, books and writing materials are the gifts Baltimore's soldier and sailor sons who are helping to push the round-the-world offensive want most to find in their stockings on Christmas morning. Food, especially chocolate candies and mom's cookies, rates high with both army and navy personnel. Navy men in the South Pacific, where the work is "nine months' preparation for nine minutes' action," and flyers in the China-Burma-India theater invariably want something to read back copies of their favorite magazines, mystery stories and commentaries on the international scene. Knee Deep In Shopping Already the wives, mothers and sweet-, hearts of servicemen stationed overseas are knee deep in Christmas shopping trying hard to fill the orders of their men in uniform or working even harder to think of a pleasant surprise if he has failed to express a preference.

All of them plan to take advantage of the Christmas mailing month September 15 through October 15 which the Postoffice Department has set aside to handle regulation packages to overseas military personnel. Wants Mystery Stories Shopping for service sons in many instances has inspired their families to begin work on their complete Christmas list "Once you get started buying you sorta get in the mood for it picking up a small gift here and there in the shops," the wife of an army flyer said. "And it's so much easier to find things now than later when the rush begins." Capt. William L. Sanford, who pilots army planes in the China-India-Burma theater, wants mystery stories (pocket editions to conserve space) and writing, paper for Christmas.

For weeks now his wife, the former. Lucille Sandruck, who lives at 1127 West North avenue, has been searching through book stores for his favorite authors. To date she has picked out about 12 which should please the captain, who wrote "don't send a lot of any thing. Let the presents wait until I come home." In early September Mrs. Blanche T.

Brown and her daughter, Eleanor, of 3608 Buckingham road, will begin making cookies and fruitcake for the three Brown sons' Christmas packages. Asks For Cigarettes Corporal L. Edward, who was wounded for the second time recently while fighting with the 29th Division in France, wants some sweet-smelling shaving soap and lotion. Richard, in France with a field artillery battalion of the puts writing paper first on his list of Christmas wishes. The third son, Carroll, also in France, has asked for toilet articles and cigarettes.

Lieut. Leslie F. McCorkle, serving with a military police unit attached to the 29th Division, will get the "box full of good things to eat" per order, his mother, Mrs. Leslie R. McCorkle, of Parksville, said.

In addition to the food, there will be a surprise package. Dreams Of Chocolate Cake In England and amid rationing, Lieut Daniel F. Cuthbert, son of Mrs. D. F.

Cuthbert, of 3824 Barrington road, "dreams of devil's food cake with thick chocolate frosting and tuna fish sandwiches." "I don't know what condition they'll be in when they get there, but. I'm going to start them," the lieutenant's mother said. Another Cuthbert son. Sergeant John, was MISS MURIEL PEABODY HUBBARD Society BREAK.

BY THE BENTZTOWN BARD (Folger McKinsey) It was only a glad "Good Morning" As she passed along the way. But it spread the morning's glory Over the livelong day! Carlotta Perry. AFTER THE NIGHT After the night the lovely morning glowing; After the drouth the crystal waters flowing; After the agony, the pain and care. Those peaceful moments of a whispered prayer. After the storm the quiet winds arising; After the strife an armistice surprising; After the hate, the anger and reviling.

A star of love upon love's temples smiling. After the doubt, the worry and contention. The hosts of justice in divine convention In righteous reasoning settling affairs. Their lifted brows embraced by summer airs. After the sickness rising from the bed With such sweet promises of peace ahead.

The quiet convalescence through the years From hurt and ache and agony and tears. After the tempest and the thunder's roar The feet of dawn in music at the door. The sigh of birds amid the whispering trees, The earth's response to nature's melodies. After the shadow and the bitter gloom The little garden sweet with summer bloom. The tender handto hold your own and lead Where hearts no longer ever sigh or bleed.

B.B. Thank You Very Much, And I Sure Will Try To Do My Best! Dear Benztown Bard Just a note to tell you how much I enjoyed your little verse, "All," in Wednesday's paper. It took words right from my own mind and put them in a beautiful arrangement I clipped it out to keep. Please let's have some more like that. Yours sincerely, Ruth Busler.

Fallston, Aug. 18. A CANDLE IN THE WINDOW Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm xlvi, 10. You Just Never Can Tell On the evening of that day when relief came to our section from the oppressive heat wave of the previous ten days I remarked that my robins seemed to have disappeared, that I had not seen one since almost the first day that the "heat began.

The next morning, after a swift temperature change which brought the night temperature down to 50 degrees, the first thing I saw when I looked out my bedroom window was a big fat robin strutting proudly on the lawn. It convinced me, and at the same time reminded me. that they do not like too much hot weather and will not stay around as long as it lasts. Going Going is such an adventure But thinking of going is more. The clang of fancied departure.

The last look back at the door. Going is so mueh -finer When you start on the little trip With a faith ever growing diviner And a message of love on the lip. B. B. a Tournaments The banners of the knights' of the lanes and ring are tossing high in the tournament fields of Maryland.

In Southern Maryland, on the Eastern Shore and in Baltimore and Harford counties, so many queens of love and beauty are being crowned that crowns are running short but not kisses. 'Mduzer Park Uncle Pilduzer says things might be all right always if people could only make up their minds to let go of some of themselves and take stronger hold on the interests of others. Bed Upon a cloud amid the start Sometimes seems such a place To make one's bed and lie one down With a child's smile on one's face. B.B.

From that point on, the film winds through a series of fascinating maneuvers, some of them serious and dramatic, but most of them conducive to hearty laughter. Mr. Laughton is perfectly cast, and gives his best performance in a long time. Little Miss O'Brien is sweeter than ever, and adds a welcome humanizing touch to the story. Mr.

Young is suave and likable, and William Gargan and Rags Raglahd are immense as the tough soldiers who begin by cowering before the spook and end by trying to take his picture for commercial purposes. From Story By Wilde The photoplay harks back to a story by Oscar Wilde, and the screen play is by Edwin Harvey Blum. Jules Dassin did the direction, and succeeded remarkably well in keeping a balance between fantasy and reality. Like the specter in "The Ghost Goes West," this one is strangely plausible; after the first surprise is over, one accepts him' as a logical part of the scenery. Another fine thing about this photoplay lies In its appeal for children although it is, of course, made primarily for adult entertainment A child who sees the phantom through Margaret's eyes is bound to lose its' fear of uch imaginary phantasms.

By the middle of the film, the little girl is calling Sir Simon "uncle" and. feeling quite sorry for him. mMWmmmmmmMmmmmaMBBmmmmMMmmMmMMmWmWmMmMmMamMMmWmm Beauty And You By Patricia Lindsay When summer activities have dried and' faded your hair, buy yourself a bottle of Odorless castor oil, a bottle of olive oil and a good scalp pomade for dry and abused hair. Then get busy and restore your hair's beauty before it is too late. Give your hair a thorough overnight soaking (or an all-day one beneath a bandana) with equal parts of olive oil and castor oil heated and applied to the scalp with a bit of absorbent cotton.

Then brush the oil down the length of the hair, but do not rub it on the length of the hair, for it will be too difficult to remove. Brush Hair In Sunshine Begin your shampoo with liquid soap and water to remove most of the oil and follow with another thorough soaping and warm water. Rinse well and dry by hand. Then brush hair for at least ten minutes out in the sunshine. Take your scalp ointment or pomade and rub it sparingly on the scalp, and then brush a bit of it on the dry ends of the hair.

A little does the trick. Then set your hair with water and forget about it for three or four days. Then again apply the pomade as instructed above. a Mr. and Mrs.

Godparents Should Live Near By Dear Mrs. Post My husband greatly admires the captain of the ship he teas recently detached from and to show how much he thinks of him he would like to have the captain as the godfather of our new son. I am fond of the captain and his wife, with whom we have spent pleasant occasions, but the fact that my husband is no longer on the ship, and in as much as we don't live in neighboring States, makes us realize we may never have an opportunity to see these people again. We do not correspond. I feel it might be putting them under obligation by asking the husband to be godfather.

Furthermore, I think godparents should probably be more accessible. We would like to have your opinion. Answer I agree with you that I think it would be much better to have godparents who are more accessible also godparents are properly the parents' most intimate friends which also presents a question of suitability.

I am not a case of arrested development, yet my mother treats me exactly as if I were a infant. She tells me what I shall wear, vhat I shall eat, where I shall go and to be sure to be home. by 10 o'clock at night. "And she feels that she has a perfect right to read my letters and listen in on my tele- phone calls. Still A Baby Girl "This endless supervision over my every ct isn't because she suspects me of having any wild impulses or any yearning for the primrose path.

It is simply because she has never seen me as an intelligent adult. To her i am still a little baby girl who will make herself sick on lollipops if she isn't watched and who mustn't be permitted to play with the naughty little boy next door. "One of the major grievances of mothers nowadays is that their daughters don't want to live at home. As soon as they finish school. they get a job.

They insist on going off and setting up a little two-by-four apartment with some other girl, where they have to sleep on a bumpy couch and eat the messes they cook themselves after they come home from a hard day's work. Mother can't understand it and she fears the worst. To Get Away From Mother "But her Sally hasn't left home to become a wild woman. She has left home to get away from mother's babying and because she can't stand any longer being told what to do and what not to do, and because she is tired of having to have an argument with mother tverytime she goes out of the house about where she is going, whom she is going with and when she is coming home. "Funny, isn't it, that mothers never realize that their daughters grow up and that they vant to be treated as grownups?" "The whole relationship between mothers and daughters is a queer one," I replied.

"Because they are both women, they are supposed to be particularly close to each other. but sex can be a bar as well as a bond and no mother ever, understands her daughter unless the daughter is a rubber stamp of herself. The woman who was a belle in her day has no sympathy with high-browed Sally who wants a career instead of going to parties. When Daughter Is Married "Also, every woman is jealous of any other woman interfering in the way she runs her house, even if it is her own daughter, and that is why mother is always relieved and pleased when daughter gets married and sets up her own home. Nothing in family life is more curious than the fact that as long as a daughter remains unmarried, her mother treats her as if she were still a little child and not a very bright one at that.

"But the minute she acquires a husband she becomes an oracle whom mother quotes. Mothers and daughters never have any real companionship until daughter enters the lodge of married women. "Women are queer creatures, but perhaps there is always a reason for their queernesa." something sharp. 11 Movable part. 13 Painful spots.
