Life behind cloistered walls is not for the Rt. Rev. J. Clabaut, bishop of the Roman Catholic church mission diocese of Hudson Bay. Worthy of an Arctic explorer's efforts is the trip through the icy barrens of Baffin Land in the Arctic Circle that the bishop has just completed.

Arriving in Churchill, the mis sionary concluded a treh by dog-team and canoe, during which all the rigors of the north were encountered. Near-starvation in storm-bound Eskimo igloos proved merely an accepted part of the bishop's church duties while on the trip. During his tour he was accompanied by Father D. Dionne, a missionary from the Eskimo Point post, and by an Eskimo guide. Leaving Baffin Bay Feb.

7, the missionary mushed over hard-packed snow barrens to Arctic bay, and then moved down to Iglooik, Repulse bay, Wager inlet, Chesterfield, Baker lake, and Tavana. He visited the various mission and trading posts along the route. Largely dependent upon hunting for food, the party suffered hardship many times when storms prevented the shooting of game. During one storm which raged for four days the entire party was without food except for one small duck shot by the bishop. They took to canoes at Eskimo Point, far to the north of Churchill, abandoning their dog teams.

By canoe they skirted along the edge of a huge ice field, being forced to lay to on ice floes on several occasions. Many bands of Eskimos were encountered, some of whom were suffering from famine owing to the unsuitable hunting conditions, caused by storms. The missionary left Churchill for Montreal early in July. Last year he made the northern trip in August, on board the S. S.

CagJe, fishing in a large pond, landed a black bass weighing 8 pounds, 7 ounces with the bait. The bass struck the hook as Cagle pulled the fishtail from the water. It was one of the largest ever caught in southern Illinois. i I PURCHASE YOUR TICKETS NOW! For the Exclusive Calumet Region Premiere of Warner Bros.

(U.P.) Settlement of a strike of three months duration at the Singer Sewing Machine Manufacturing company plant was announced last night by Dale I. Parshall, plant manager. He said that the agreement with Local 917 of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers Union of America was reached through Max Schaefer, representative of the state labor commission. Parshall asserted that the company made -o concessions and that the workers would return under the same provisions as were in effect previously. Approximately 90Q workers will return during the next two weeks.

Pickets will be withdrawn Saturday and 200 men will start Monday to prepare the plant for work. Parshall said the strike was called over company policy and said the issue was whether the company or the union should determine the qualifications for employes. He said that under the settlement the company retains the power to. determine such qualifications. The strike started April 11 when a 19-year-old girl who had not been employed by Singer previously was hired.

The union contended that former employes should be given preference and the company replied that no former employes were qualified for the job in question. After announcing settlement of the strike, Parshall made a statement of company policy which said that union membership was not necessary for employment and that the company would determine the qualifications for employment. Housing Strikers To Return VINCENNES, July 20. (U.P.) Striking workers on the 42-unit federal housing project were expected to return to their jobs today to end their week-old walkout, but negotiations between contractors and labor leaders continued in an attempt to affect a compromise settlement. Meanwhile, a federal mediator participating in the negotiations threatened that "if the plans are not satisfactory, an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation will be called in to investigate the Negro in the woodpile." Officials of the Vincennes Sand and Gravel company, where cement blocks which caused the strike are manufactured, agreed to organize part of the labor in their plant, but refused to grant demands of O.

B. Soucie of Terre Haute, district head of the International Operators and Engineers union, who demanded that a union operator be placed in charge of the steam curing plant at the gravel company. Gravel company officials said that common labor has always filled the post. C. E.

Brunson of St. Louis, general contractor on the project, charged today that union officials "are practicing discrimination against us, since they have not demanded union made blocks on other building enterprises which have been under simultaneously with this one." 1 Debates during negotiations have been described as "extremely bitter" by Matthew E. Welsh, executive secretary of the housing project, but no violence has occurred during the week long strike. JUDGE'S AUTO LICENSE STOLEN ST. LOUIS.

(U.P.) A Negro burglar whose taste ran to automobiles and their equipment fled when surprised in the act of stealing some auto batteries. Behind him he left a stolen car, whose license plates had been stolen from the auto of Judge Joseph L. Simpson of the Court of Criminal Correction.

And she confesses happiness over the fact that her name appears on the project's roster here.

"The project," she explains, "has aided me In at least two ways. I had to have a job. I know noth ing except acting. The project pro vided me with a job. "I needed more stage experience and I am getting it." (She just finished a feature part in "Big With a frankness that reflects the depth of her personality she smiles and adds "I know there must be a few rough edges to my acting.

But the project work is helping me in pol- isihng them off. Soon I hope to be in a position to again pound on studio doors." On Stage at 11 Brooklyn-born, Miss Henry made her fifst professional appearance at the age of 11. Since that time she has appeared in three Broadway productions "Hobo," "Courage" and "Ah, Wilderness" and at least eight motion pictures. Critiqs, after seeing her in "Alice in Wonderland," referred to her as "the child of pure, unclouded brow and dreaming eyes of wonder." The description still stands in one sense, sne no longer is a child. But her eyes are filled with wonderment.

She is the daughter of Mrs. Ann Henry with whom she shares the small apartment and of whom she says "Mother never was an actress, but I suspect her of having wanted to be one. I guess I inherited her love for the theater, and I am go ing to continue to do something about it." She means to catch the brass ring again on the cinema merry-go-'round if it is the last thing she does. Today: 2 Giant Features 2 Dorothy Lamour Lloyd Nolan "ST.

The effective program of exploitation soon resulted in her becoming something of a household word. For a time she had what almost every youngster wants, fame and an adequate amount of money.

But that was a half dozen years ago. It was only a comparatively brief, though gay, episode in the life of this young woman who is wise enough to almost forget that Lady Luck once smiled broadly upon her. She Rides a Bus Today Charlotte Henry does not drive from a luxurious residence to a film studio for a day's work. Instead she boards a bus near her modest home and goes to work in the Federal theater project. Before she steps from that home, a small apartment, she glances at the living room walls where hangs autographed camera portraits of George Arliss and the late Will Rogers with whom she once appeared.

To her they are incentives to work willingly along the hard route in an effort toward making a cinema comeback. As she discusses her career, she is apt to mention luminaries she remembers as co-workers either on the stage or in the films. Shortage of funds, this charming actress says candidly, forced her to seek a spot in the Federal FEELS NO NEED FOR 1ST NAME DOVER, N. H. (U.P.) "Just call me Tifft!" That's what plain Mr.

Tifft, 61-year-old retired Brooklyn, N. lumber dealer, tells his friends. For he is the man with no first name, no middle name just plain Tifft, and all because his parents couldn't agree on a suitable name at his birth. Coming to Dover a few years ago, Tifft since has made his home in a remodeled farmhouse, "Tifft-Top," on Tifft road. He is quite contented with his name, he says.

"My father, Alanson Herbert Tifft, never liked his first name," Tifft says. "Most people called him Herbert. When I was born, he and my mother couldn't agree on a name for me. So father suggested that the matter of choosing a name be leftup to me. "I grew up without a first name, and I've never felt like appropriating one.

Seems to me that I've gotten along just as well without one." Since his retirement, Tifft has pursued his hobby of perfecting ingenious electrical devices. Lights flanking the driveway, at the front door and in trees on his 25-acre estate are controlled by time switches. Tifft and his wife often leave their farm without turning off the lights. But five minutes after their departure, the house automatically is plunged into darkness. Another automatic switch flashes on a light when a closet door is opened.

RHODES (Central Press Correspondent) HOLLYWOOD. There are many beautiful girls in Hollywood riding the cinema merry-go-'round without catching the brass ring. But none of them is better known than vivacious, sparkling-e Charlotte Henry who reached dizzy film heights six years ago in the title role of "Alice in Wonderland." For a brief time she clutched the brass ring right after she was selected from nearly 7,000 applicants for the coveted role in the film based on the Lewis Carroll fantasy. But a strange fate was to snatch that ring from her dainty fingers fingers that are itching to grasp it once again. Ironically, it was publicity and exploitation each vital to an actress seeking fame that sent her hurtling from the cinema pedestal.

She Was Typed "I was billed as a child actress. That was all right as far as the picture was concerned," Miss Henry says, "but it left me typed, definitely typed. "My biggest job now, just as it has been for the past two or more years, is to prove that I am quite capable of playing serious adult parts." The publicity she received in connection with the film, "Alice in Wonderland," was tremendous. It best could be measured in pounds, not in numbers, of newspaper and magazine clippings. She made a coast-to-coast per- ROYAL EYES A- 4 4- hrifi.
