~ sports. Dancing on the outdoor pa
vilion with amplified music contributed heavily to the entertainment of the vast crowd of participants, who gleefully and gracefully
engaged the fantastic toe. Re.
freshments _and holiday felicitations rounded out the afternoon
and evening there. Several home
parties were staged after the picnic hours. The one at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Henry G. Reynclds was typical but in one respect different since it was made
up exclusively of members of Mrs.
Reynolds~ family and near kin. It
is good to get the family together
some time.

On the whole. Flint took the 1941
~Fourth of July in the spirit of independence for which the day is
celebrated.

TO IDYLE WILDE

Talking apout independence, here
is one for you: The Undertaker~s
wife, Mrs. Henry G. Reynolds and
a party of her girl friends refuse
to drive the Lincoln car but took
the little ~Lizzy~ and motored to
Idyle Wilde for the Fourtn of July
this time. After arriving there the
Whittington girls telephoned their
father that the trip was safe getting there.,Mr. Whitington was
very pleased ~with this for he took
occasion to relate the incident tc
Mr. Reynolds. So at least two men
were made sedate by the message.

HOLLYWOOD~(ANP) ~ This
being written in Fourth of July
week, when all the nation is celebrating the independence of America, you can~t expect much out of a
columnist, can you? For he, too,

may suddenly feel the ~urge of the
summer, the crowds deserting the
city; the balmy ocean-breezes, and
the call of the wild,.than fise up
on his hind legs and declare his
independence from the chains that
bind him to his desk for the other.364 days of the year. In the case

AT LAST HERE~S THE INDEX
So just in case a lingering spring
fever, and the anticipation of fried
springers, become too overpowering,
here is at least the index of what
is supposed to follow in.the Ol Kolyum this issue. Better the index
than nothing at all. Isn~t it? Business manager of ~Wings Over Jordan~ choir arrived in town at Municipal airport last Tuesday to close
important deal concerning series of
motion pictures. ~Yes I know all
about it, but I ain~t tellin,~ at

First Lady of Swing~ - closed a
triumphant run at the Orpheum

last Monday night and started work~

at Universal studio the next morning. The picture in which she makes
her debut at Universal is ~Ride em
cowboy,~ and one of the numbers
she may swing out on is the new
comedy tune; ~Wake Up Jacob~
cleffed by Don Raye and Jean De
Paul. It was originally intended for
the ~Merry Macs.~ Duke Ellington~s
~Jump With Joy~ opens at Mayan
next week.
~TYPE MARCHES ON,~ BUT
STOPS GROW SHORTER

Vaina Haissen, beautiful, but, tirelessly industrious secretary of

the Sid Dones- company, has been
directing the work of a dozen carpenters, painters, gardeners, horsemen, and other workmen for the

|| past week, preparing Desert Para
dise for a throng of Fourth of July
visitors. Like an efficient general,
her shapely, ~graceful figure attired
in a brown riding habit, she has
directed the addition of an archery
course, horse-shoe pitching grounds,
a badminton court, and other recreation facilities, besides seeing to
it that the saddle horses were well
groomed, and the fine cement tennis court ready for action. Some
girl! (and doesn~t even realize how
pretty she is). Garlyle Scott chorus,
