It is very emotional and dramatic as it soars to a high melodious pitch. Anyone who is interested in purchasing this score should go to Patten’s Record Shop. The background music for the picture is handled with wit and power. This is the story of a young girl who after serving her country and people is rewarded with death at the stake. Jean Seberg plays the part of Joan. The mus ic consists of the Saint Joan Theme, Toccatina. Strength and loneliness and Voice of Con science and Dream Minuet.

FASH TIPS TO THE LADIES By G. MILLER Well ladies, Mia Pavan a new personality in the fashion world has come up with something I think is worth talking about. She says, if you wish to dye or tint your hair you should talk it over with your beauty operator, and not try to do it yourself. This is alright she says if you have done it for years and are skilled at it, but, she says if it is your first experience, please don't do it yourself. The dangers lie first in the elements in the tint and is skilled in this sort of work and dye only your beauty operator she should do the work. Your hairdresser she says has had years of actual work and study in this line of beauty care and the tint or dye should be done according to your complextion and the color of your eyes. An other good word on this, is that so many of these tint’s and hair colors wash out so fast only your hairdresser will know which one to use for our special type. So ladies that is our word on fashion for this week. Good Grooming to you from me.

CORNER Congressman ^ GLENN CUNNINGHAM, One veteran Congressman has suggested that this Congress will be known as ’‘the Congress that adjourned one man at a time." With the work in the House virtually finished (unless the civil rights bill comes up again) many Congressmen have simply left Washington and returned to their homes. One quorum call this week found 96 out of 433 Congressmen absent. I am proud to report that I have not missed any roll call votes so far this year. There have been more than 200 roll calls and quorum calls during this session. * * • • Adjournment could come suddenly this year, or it could be a couple of weeks before we officially finish the business before us. The Senate is meeting long hours each day to catch up on the many bills passed by the House when the Senate was tied up with the civil rights bill. The House, by comparison, has only a few bills before it each day, although there are some important mutters that are not being taken up. House Speaker Sam Rayburn has announced that several of the so-called maior bills will not reach the floor this year. So we are marking time for the most part until something happens on the civil rights bill or until we adjourn. House Republican Leader Joe Martin threatens to keep Congress in session until November to force action on the civil rights bill, but adjournment could come by the time you read this colmn. Many persons have written about Hoover Commission recom mendations. H.R 8002 has been reported for Houseaction, and it has iny full support It provides for ail appropriations on an an nual basis, this eliminating the huge carry-over funds now existing. This bill has passed <he Senate. H.R. 5836, which requirei that parcel post rate* reflect certain indirect cosat, has passed the House but not the Senate. H.R. 5883, which would liquidate the Postal Savings System, has been reported by the Pott Office Committee but not acted on by either House. One other bill awaPa action by both House*. It ts H.R. 5828. which restricts government competition with private businesses. Unless the leadership of the House snd Senate caP (or action on these bills, they will not come up this session.
