CITY OF CASTLEGAR Well attended Bible school held at Grace Presbyterian The final day of regis- tration saw 36 children, rang- ing in age from three to 13, enrolled for Grace Presby- terian Church's annual Vac- ation Bible School. The theme chosen for this year was Jesus, Lord and Saviour. As well as leading the opening exercises, Laurence DeWolfe taught ages 10 through 13. Linda Webber taught ages 7-8-9; Margaret Harvoy instructed ages 6-6; while Barb Poznikoff guided the nursery set. Anne Cum- mings was on hand to help as well, and those working in the kitchen preparing snacks were Liz Smith and Isabel Gordon. After opening exercises of songs, a story — complete with flash cards of Hudson Taylor — and offering, the. children went to their classes where they spent an hour in lessons of Jesus. Following a cookie and juice break, the remaining time was spent on crafts and outdoor activities. A capacity crowd filled the church on Friday night for the special awards night, where 24 children received awards for perfect atten- dance. The children sang songs which they had learned during the week, as well as teaching their parents, who then joined in. Gary Damberger of Van- couver and Lori Kinakin re- ceived special mention for the best three-day and five- day projects, respectively, in the 9-13 class. ie Some dam good people ay api If these benefits appeal to you, please phone our Circulation Department at 365-7266 * Our Circulation Manager will be pleased to discuss route opportunities with you. delivered papers in their youth... and in retirement some darn good people are going back to it!

Pu lished by J ‘the ie iy Los Angeles Times Syndicate.) * * * Carole Lombard’s real name was Alice Jane Peters, a matter-of-fact, unpreten- © tious name. which probably... suited her real personality better than the screen name she adopted. She was born in 1908 and lived in Los Angeles. The tow-headed tomboy Alice attracted the attention of a film director who saw her playing baseball with her two brothers in the suburb where she lived. Already, little Alice Jane ‘Peters possessed that com- bination of cheery, out-of-doors high-spiritedness coupled with strikingly glamorous looks which would make her famous. She therefore began her film career at the age of 12, but fortunately for her, she did not turn into that coy and synthetic Hollywood product known as a child star. After her film debut, Lombard played in a few more movies but she remained an ordinary American girl who led the life of a typical teen-ager. Then, h h d whic! d to . spell an ‘end to any ambitions about becoming a real film actress: while she was out on a date with a boyfriend, she was involved in a car accident which slightly distigured her. Discouraged and depressed, she assumed her film career was over, but her face healed quickly and scon there was only a faint scar on her cheek. In 1928, she was. signed on as a Mack Sennett bathing beauty, a job where a curvaceous figure mattered more than having a perfect face. Over the next two years she played in 13 Sen- nett comedies. Having custard pies thrown in her face or being doused with buckets of water offered little scope for development as an actress, but it did teach Alice Peters, as she was still called, an excellent sense of comic timing and @ flair for sensing what would come over as funny on the screen. In real life, Lombard loved playing ractical jokes on.her friends, and her Fomor made her a natural comedienne. In 1930, she joined Paramount and acquired her new name along with her definitive image: from now on, she would be Carole Lombard, the glamorous yet funny heroine of the zany comedies so popular in the ‘30s. She rapidly became one of Paramount's top stars and was soon making as many as five films a year, : Audiences took to Carole Lombard as a screen character and as an in- dividual. They avidly read the gossip about her private life, the dazzling par- ties she gave, her romantic involvement with some of Hollywood's most eligible males. 8 She eventually married another star, the urbane William Powell; the marriage ended in a friendly divorce on grounds of mutual incompatibility only two years later. William Powell would later become Jane Harlow’s closest companion; in this way the lives of Harlow and Lombard were interwoven as well as in another: in a number of her films Harlow was teamed up with Clark Gable who was to become the great love of Lombard's ‘life: ‘By 4hi8 ‘mid-'30s, Lombard’s fans 'were fascinated by the tantalizing rumors of her amours with Gable, the reigning King of Hollywood, but in fact lived out in hell, the Gable- Lombard marriage turned out to be a perfect match and the coupie lived ex- ceedingly happily together until death parted them five years later. in her films, tombard had everything a man could ask for in a woman, and yet other women could like . her too. Her appeal was probably fess - potent than the radiant, nakedly sexual one of Jean Harlow. and Marily,. yet is was also broader. : “t-"Women admired Harlow and Monroe, but they also felt threatened by thelr blonde and blatant lity.

The Lombard-Gable affair was an open secret for many months and, despite the hypocritical convention that film stars should be sexually explosive on the screen but paragons of virtue in ceal life, the popularity of neither star was affected by their irregular situation; they made such an irresistible couple: the fair, willowy Carole and the dark, suave Clark. H When Gable finally got a divorce it | bard said: “You can trust thot little screwball with your life or your ho and she wouldn't even know how to think about letting you down." Gable liked the simple, outdoor life 80 Lombard made herself like it too. The photographs of them feeding their chickens or riding in the desert show us a Lombard just as appealing as those of her attending a film premiere or sitting in d fashionable restaurant. Her quick wit, her glamor and her sense of repartee made her an ideal star for the slick, offbeat comedies which Hollywood was turning out. She made 42 pictures in all, four of which are among the best American comedies of that. period: “Twentieth Century” (1934), “My Man Godfrey” (1936), “Nothing Sacred” (1937) and "To Be or Not To Be" (1942). Carole Lombard was immensely popular during her lifetime. Women everywhere copies the “Lombard look,” her impeccable dress style, her winging eyebrows and billowing flocked to all her films and her romance with Gable was a popular topic of speculation for years. The Gables were such VIPs that when President Roosevelt heard that they were in Washington he invited them to the White House to sit in on one of his Fireside Chats, the informal radio broadcasts he made to the country about and married Li . an ideal marriage. Carole Lombard's fans were ecstatic: their golden girl had been as successful in her private life as in her film career, Indeed, unlike so many Hollywood marriages supposedly made in heaven and foreign issues. a In some ways it could be said that the special relationship with F.D.R. led to the ultimate tragedy in the couple's lives. Immediately after the attack on - Pearl Harbor, Lombard, who was inten- sely patriotic, had written to F.D.R. to tragedy, but Clark Gable refused to allow her funeral to become the same kind of hysterical spectacle that had marred Jean Harlow's. hair. Fans ° prestig: dand Gable enjoyed, F.D.R.'s reply disappointed Lom- bard; he told them thet their most. _ The last im- pression Ameri- cans were to have of Carole Lombard was that of a beauti- ful, dedicated woman in a black, strapless evening dress, weeping as she sang her coun- iry's national an- them along with the audience against a back- drop of flags and banners urging all to "Sacrifice, Save and Serve.” valuable contribution to the war effort would be to continue making films, stressing the importance of entertain- ment in keeping up public morale In time of war, Carole was soon busy helping to organize a Victory committee in Hollywood and was delighted when she was asked to go on o campaign to sell U.S, defense bonds in her home state of Indiana and in Utah. She went, and turned out to be such a saleswoman that she sold $2 million worth of bonds at a single sitting. For 12 hours on end, she chatted with the people who. lined up to buy bonds from the star In person, giving each pur- chaser a receipt that carried her ~ autographed picture. She-attended a patriotic pageant in Salt-Lake City:and burst into ‘tears when *" “The Star Spangled Banner” was played by three bands and the huge Tabernacle pipe organ. This was to be her final public appearance. The last impression Americans were to have of Carole Lombard was that of a beautiful, dedicated woman in Ss On her way back from Utah to California, she and her mother were killed in a plane crash along with 15 Ar- my pilots. The plane, seven miles off course, had crashed into Table Rock Mountain, a few minutes out from Las Vegas, and had burst into flames. There were no survivors, Carole Lombard’s death was treated as a national tragedy, but Clark Goble tefused to allow fer funeral to become the same kind of hysterical spectacle that had marred Jean Harlow's. Both bombard and Gable had been present on that occasion, ond Carole, deeply a a PP Y P' hope that nothing like that would hap- pen at her funeral. Accordingly Gable and MGM made sure that Carole'’s funeral was a simple, private service with only close friends present. Gable hi jalt personally guilty about Carole’s death for many years at- terwards, having quarrelled violently with her just before the trip. The close relationship had not been entirely free of marital problems, which had erupted again at that point over Lana Turner, but the couple had made up by telephone. It was Carole’s anxiety to get home to her husband which made her insist on taking up seats on the plane which had been requisitioned for three officers at an Albuquerque stopover. t d's status from that of film stor to heroine. President Roosevelt awarded her a posthumous medal as “the first woman to be killed in action in the defense of her country In its war against the Axis power.” A Navy air squadron decided to call itself “The Lombardiers” in her honor and used her profile on its in- signia. A Liberty, ship was named the “Corole Lombard.” The myth of Lombard was finally consecrated by Gable’s sudden decision to enlist in the Army, where he served until the end of the war, because it was something that Carole had been urging him to do from the start of America’s en- try into the war, The story of the golden girl of the silver screen had now become a legend of virtue and valor; perhaps the only way for the public to compensate for the tragic death of such a likable per- sonality.
