Contemporary Comment One of the young men we adore most in the whole world is Toddy, the 4-year-old son of the Harold Parrotts. Toddy is a very intelligent young gentleman and his sage advice comes from a clear little blond head. However, he was taken quite off guard the other day while his mother was, like a good citizen, listening to a radio program of air raid precertions. She didn't realize Toddy and his young brother might be listening, too. The announcer kept stressing the fact that it is important to keep cool and calm.

Finally he fairly shouted "DON'T LOSE YOUR HEAD." At which point Toddy, not having realized before that such 8 thine might happen to him, put a tiny hand on each side of his head and holding on tight said, "Oh my goodness!"

Those present were the Misses Christmas Parties Planned by Society HELEN WORTH A Certain Amount of Film Censorship Is Necessary to Protect Every One My dear Helen Worth--I wish some one would tell me why it is necessary to have all this controversy over certain movies released from Hollywood? We have the Will Hays Board and if they pass A movie I see no reason why A half dozen other organizations urge that it be banned. In the paper this evening I read that this new film, "Two-Faced Woman," has even- been protested by Congressmen. I think it is perfectly idiotic. I've read the story and I can tell every one I've certainly seen a host of movies that imply far worse things than this comedy.

In fact, I don't even see why we need the Will Hays Board. Americans are certainly broadminded enough, in my way of thinking, to receive these with the right attitude. For years there was no board and I'm sure the morals of the American population were not corrupted any more than they are today by plain jokes and regular stage shows. What do some of the other readPI'S think? A merry Christmas to you. MEL.

My dear Mel- Thank you. Americans are SO broadminded that a certain censorship is essential. Regular stage shows are not attended by children, motion pictures are. Just where censorship should begin or end, I would not attempt to suggest. It is a province with which I am unfamiliar.

Why not write to the organizations that banned that particular film and ask them their reason for doing so? Perhaps your own ideas might be clarified. A very pleasant Christmas to you, HELEN WORTH.

To associate further will lead only to greater heartaches in the years to come. A clean, complete break is the only sane attitude for you or that's how it seems to me.

What do the readers think? HELEN WORTH. A Thoughtful Idea Dear Helen Worth--Your Sunday column comment regarding this terrible war was truly educational as well as interesting. But I cannot help but wonder how loyal, sincere local semi-intelligent Americans like myself can best now aid out nation, when on every side we sort of get ignored or are given a courteous run around.

VITAMIN BREAD 2 SIZES 5. and 10 ENRICHED BRIAO: FRESH FROM BOHACK SUNLIT BAKERY There's one lucky woman in New York this Christmas, and she is lucky because her husband is lucky! All of which sounds vague, but her husband's luck depends on wagers he makes with himself and she 1s benefited by the results. Seems they formerly lived in Brooklyn, where Mr.

W. used the subway to get downtown every morning. He got tired of standing all the way to Borough Hall, so he began to take notice of the young people in the train and found most of them would get out to go to Brooklyn College. As a result he got a seat almost at once, and more often than not his guess was correct. The W's moved to Westchester recently and Mr.

who still rides by subway, had to think up another plan to get his usual seat. His final plan, one that works well, has him spot a with Nordic features and stand in front of him as the sitter invariably gets out at 86th Well, Mr. W. has been placing wagers with himself lately. If he i is right in his calculations, he puts the winning money into a fund to buy Mrs.

W. her Christmas gift, and so far he hasn't missed many times. HELEN BROWN. Jeanne Butcher Makes Plans for Wedding Miss Jeanne M. Butcher, daughter of William H.

Janet Waters Opens Home for Meeting organizations or Bundles for Britain should perhaps underwrite used clothes, lend-lease old suits, lendlease overcoats, shoes, hats, to local worthy people via wage ASsignments. One cannot even be a fire air warden or attend church unless equipped by the fortified morale and confidence decent clothes alone give. Our slogan should be A job for every work American now even though clothes would help secure more successful interviews. Steady jobs make practical Xmas gifts. GEORGE D.

My dear George you. It is gratifying 1 to know that in these days one is able to make a contribution to the morale of others. Clothes are important only as they are necessary to meet the standards of the occasion. There is sense to that which you write, your letter is published in the hope that your suggestion will bear fruit (One might smile for a moment here and talk of clothes trees, but this is no joking matter.) That which you suggest has been done on A small scale by some churches and A few organized groups, but never in A large way, as far as I know. I hope matters will improve for you shortly.

And a happy Christmas to you. HELEN WORTH. Elkton Laws Dear Helen Worth you advise me of the marriage laws of Elkton, The length of time you have to wait to get a license and if you can be married with only A temporary divorce decree from New York? READER. My dear Reader The laws in Elkton, I'm told, have recently been tightened where "quickie" marmages are concerned. Your attorney is the one to advise you.
