Published in ffl-lBaW The greatest
this space star of the
erery week ” */ screen I
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s latest screen
play by Donald Ogden Stewart, based
upon I. A. R. Wylie's widely read novel,
"Keeper of the Flame” is a perfect
picture for Americans.
★ ★ ★ ★
Brought to the screen with the moving
conviction and vivid imagination that
is second nature to Hollywood, "Keeper
of the Flame” is sure to take its place
among the best screen fare of this decade.
★ ★ ★ *
A powerful and dramatically woven
TRUTH, it strikes a new height in
vivid realism, hitting out with all the
artistic force that has given the screen
such immortal pictures as "Mrs. Mini
ver”, "Random Harvest” and “Journey
for Margaret”.
* ★ * *
So timely, it will make you stop and
wonder about what’s going on, and
about your part in it all. With great
depth and quality, "Keeper of the
Flame” stresses the importance of
every race in this country. In seeing it
you will realize the futility of hatred
towards any group of people.
+
The story, the plot and the characters
are so closely knit together by the deft
touch of director George Cukor that
they advance to a realistic finis that is
as American as the Stars and Stripes
and as down to earth in its message to
all people as the Declaration of Inde
pendence.
w
As the stars of the piece, Spencer Tracy
and Katharine Hepburn achieve the
outstanding performances of their bril
liant careers. The huge supporting cast
wins new laurels in one of MGM's most
endearing pictures.
★ ★ ★ ★
See it—and you will give and accept the
greetings oi a isew
Year with renewed
strength and the (
happy thought that
we are all Ameri- ^
cans, standing
guard together and
are the “keepers of
the flame."

«. national organization of Negro
pupils studying vocational agricult
ure in public schools. But their
activities are not confined solely to
agriculture. Look at this pOst-Pearl
Harbor record, for instance:
1. More than 7,50o NFA youth
have collected 1,825,208 pounds of
scrap metal in ten states.
2. Approximately 2,583 members
have collected 141,567 pounds of
waste paper.
3. In eleven states, 9,583 Negro
farm boys have purchased $47,196.22
worth of war bonds and stamps.
4. In seven states, NFA mem
bers have collected 149,174 pounds
of scrap rubber.
5. In three states alone, NFA
members have canned more than
667,110 quarts of food from Victory
Gardens.
Typical of the individual work of
these youth in contributing to the
nation’s food supply jn war time
was the activity of Ulysses Lacy,
fourth year student in the vocat
ional agricultural department of
Alabama A. and M. Institute in Ala
bama. Ulysses is secretary of his
local NFA. chapter. He formerly
was president.
During the 1940-41 scholastic
year, Lacy planted one acre of cot
ton, three acres of corn and one
acre of peanuts, and devoted one
third acre to a vegetable garden.
After the first year, the youth was
able to finance all his own projects.
The cotton and sweet potatoes in
Lacy’s program were grown for
market. The vegetable garden was
maintained each year for his own,
purposes. The corn and peanuts in
last year’s program were grown for
the purpose of feeding his hogs in
the 1941-42 program. This year he
Is marketing some of his hogs.
Young Lacy was able to furnish
his family with plenty of fresh veg
etables and a surplus for canning.
He had 60 bushels of corn to carry
over for his hogs. He raised a
brood sow and had $140 in cash
from which he drew sufficient
money to finance his 1942 practicfe
program.
Lacy also had a home improve
ment project last year through
which he screened the back porch,
repaired the front porch and built
a poultry house for the increasing j
family flock. Supplementary act- i
ivities included the construction cf j
a watering trough for his mules,
pruning and spraying the orchard
and controlling insects and diseases
in the poultry flock.
Ulysses Lacy has been an out
standing performer in the NFA.
With other members, he attended
both state and national NFA con
ventions for the last three years.
He is also a booster in the joint
efforts of the NFA and the Progres
sive Homemakers Association, and
has assisted in the publication Of
the joint quarterly bulletin “Panfa*'
official organ of the vocational
home economics and NFA organiz
ations.
The New Farmers of America
have pledged themselves to aid the
country in every possible way, and
the Negro youth are fighting on the
home front to keep that pledge.

PLAIN FACTS AND NO "BUNK”
“LYING LIPS” IS A BIG
PICTURE!
"LYING LIPS” is a big picture,
produced on a bigger and more ex
pensive scale than any colored pic
ture up to this date. Yet, a pic
ture could be so produced—and still j
not he a good picture, not interest
ing and no draw at the box office.
Remember this first last and all the
time, a picture must first have a
story—a good story! Adapted from
“THE CASE OF ELSIE BELL
WOOD,” "LYING LIPS” carries the
best story any Colored pictured,
barring none, has ever had. It is
not an “imitation” story with Negro
Sheriffs, Colored Judges presiding
over courts in Harlem of all color
ed people, all Negro police depart
ments, all Colored Juries—for there
is no such thing in Harlem or any
where else in this America. We
have Colored Judges and no end cf
Policemen, including many sarg
eants, some Lieutenants and a few
Captains; but all work together with
white officers. So we mix our Pol
icemen, our audiences and our mob
scenes. Our story is, however, u
bout Colored people, was written bv
a Negro author and every scene and
every spoken word rings true to
Negro life. Negro life, fortunately
or unfortunately, is different in so
many phases, from the lives of oth
er Americans, until this is a fact
to be appreciated, and whether w«
Ike it or not, everybody knows this
is true. Meanwhile, colored peopla
see the best white pictures every
day and hae become both restless
and impatient for better pictures a
bout themseies. The Negro picture
of the future, therefore, must be
as well done, as big and as inter
esting as a good white picture, if it
hopes to draw the big crowds and
make the exhibitor money.
“LYING LIPS” is all that!

issued by Frank J. Moylan, secre
tary-treasurer of the company.
"This tremendous sum of money I
found its way, directly or indirectly
into the cash registers of Nebraska
and Iowa businesses, large and
small. And it helped to maintain
churches and community chest driv
es besides buying groceries, paying
rent and taxes and professional
service fees, and being used for
otber local expenditures.”
During 1942, Moylan reported, the
company spent $1,905,233 for mat
erials, supplies and services. ‘‘Most
of this was received by local bus
iness firms in the communities the
company sepves,” he said. "This
is an average of more than $36,000
spent weekly with local business es
tablishments.”
The company’s payroll for 1942
totalled $1,750,000 for operating and
construction purposes. This is an
average of $33,600 received and
spent or invested locally each week
by its 800 employes for rent, food,
clothing and other living expenses.
Taxes paid by the Nebraska Pow
er Company hit a new high in 1942,
Moylan’s report stated. The comp
any’s total bill will be approximate
ly $2,200,000 by far the highest in
the company’s history. “This mon
ey went for schools ,roads, sanit
ation. police and fire protection and
to the federal government for the
winning of the war and for other
governmental functions,” Mr. Mny
land explained.
