Miss Barbara Ann Beckstrom Becomes Lieut. Kane's Bride

Mr. and Mrs. Ross Beckstrom are announcing the marriage of their daughter, Miss Barbara Ann Beckstrom, and Lieutenant Jack Dare Kane (j. g.) U. S. M. C. R., Saturday morning at the Coral Gables Methodist Church. The Rev. Carlock Hawk officiated, and the ceremony was attended by relatives only, due to the last-minute changes in the nuptial plans. Home for the week-end from Pensacola, where he is stationed with the U. S. Marine Air Corps Reserve, Lieutenant Kane has returned to his base. He is the son of Mrs. Rodney Miller and attended the University of Florida, where he was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity. Mrs. Kane chose a tangeleo crepe frock for her wedding with small white hat and gardenia corsage. Graduate of Ponce de Leon High School, the bride attended the Florida State College for Women and the University of Miami, where she was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority. She will join Lieutenant Kane Monday at Pensacola after attending a round of parties planned for her this week.

'Escape to Sun' Next Show For Fifteen

"Escape to the Sun", a modern comedy by De Witt Bodeen, opens Wednesday evening, March 25 at the Theatre of the Fifteen. Bodeen is also the author of "Argosy at Forty", which The Fifteen produced with great success last season. "Escape to the Sun" tells the story of Penelope Lynn and her brood who, seeking shelter from a troubled world, descends upon her sister in Southern California. Penelope's four children, each the offspring of a husband of different nationality, are testimonials of the colorful and varied life she has led abroad. The readjustments of this motley family to a new environment are the basis of the many amusing and piquant situations. Mary Green is Penelope, and Elizabeth Cope her sister. Frank Rollinger plays Penelope's present husband, and Sally Lou Berger their small daughter. The other children are played by Janet Cole, Hugh Miller, and Andre Ricou. Barbara Parnley, James Crow, and Dorothy Beyer also play important roles. "Escape to the Sun", directed by Vaughn Baggerly, will continue through Sunday, March 31st, at the Theatre of the Fifteen. The settings have been designed and executed by Edward Sheffield.

State Control Board Members Attend Races at Tropical Park

Following its annual business meeting in Fort Lauderdale, the Florida State Board of Control motored Monday to Tropical Park, where members were the guests of the Gables Racing Association, Inc., for luncheon and for the eight races which followed. A. Charles Schwartz, executive vice-president of the track organization, was host to the party. Heading the Board of Control party was R. H. Gore, Fort Lauderdale, ex-governor of Porto Rico. Others in the group were T. T. Scott, Live Oak; Hal B. O'Dair, Jacksonville; N. B. Jordan, Quincy, and W. M. Palmer, Ocala. Mrs. Gore and Mrs. T. T. Scott accompanied the board members to the races. After luncheon, the party occupied one of the directors' boxes on the upper clubhouse terrace. The program's secondary feature was named for the board, which controls women's colleges in the state, the University of Florida, Florida A. and M., the Deaf and Blind School at St. Augustine, and others. Tropical Park's clubhouse "regulars" set a new record for smart spring costumes, with purples and blues vieing for first place in the color line. A noticeable swing to brimmed hats—doubtless chosen to provide shade from the brilliant tropical sun—was noted. Mrs. Henry Ridgely chose a large white straw to wear with a red-dotted dress with skirt made in two-tier style. The hem was bordered with material of a larger dot. Mrs. Ridgely's luncheon guest was Mrs. H. Gilbert, Miami Beach, who also chose a large-brimmed hat to wear with her mauve-colored two-piece dress.

CALLING DRAFTED MOTHERS By ERAINE TURIN

Drafted mothers of our nation, there is only one kind of "hope" that is constructive. It is the hope of "good promise" which entertains trust and the belief in the outcome of right—that of Divine Justice. It is founded on intelligent reasoning not on fantasy. It is the "hope" which is yours when you trust in Him to protect your soldiers from the ravages that war inflicts. But, unfortunately, under our present pattern of warfare, there is another kind of hope—not "the constructive," but a destructive hope"—which has proved and still is proving to be the undoing of nations. And if it is not checked in time, it can cause the entire undoing of us over here, in these United States. This "destructive hope" is ephemeral and presages all types of cataclysmic, because it is here today and gone tomorrow when it is destroyed by its own destruction. It comes of wishful thinking on the part of those who start bickerings and controversies, which create delays in war activities and production. It disregards the likelihood of enemy onslaughts and thereby makes those onslaughts more effective; it takes the so-called easier path of indifference or of evasion to facts; it permits the sparks of unpreparedness to smolder under the guise of speechmaking, compromises; it discounts that those sparks can rise into flame at an unpredictable moment and can lay waste to all that for which a nation is fighting. Such "destructive hope" has no sound basis for hoping; it is bereft of every quality from which the "constructive hope" comes. England hoped that Hitler was bluffing; Holland and Belgium hoped that he would keep his word not to invade those countries—and even after his former promises to other nations were broken. In like manner, all the conquered nations hoped that his assurances would hold and that his threats were unfounded and harmless—as those yet unconquered still are hoping. Then too, many individuals in the United States succumbed to this "destructive hope." These Americans hoped that war with Japan would have been diverted. And even now those same Americans are hoping that the French islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe are not the bases providing supplies and fuel for the enemy submarines in the Atlantic. Also they are hoping that these Vichy-governed islands will not prove to be the bases for enemy aircraft; that, on this issue, Petain will not take his orders from Berlin; that the French fleet will not be Hitler's for the asking. Obviously this kind of hoping is wishful thinking on the part of certain Americans and will prove as destructive in the Atlantic as it did in the Pacific; for it keeps the United States from moving in on Guadeloupe and Martinique before it is too late. Drafted mothers of our nation, it is in your province—since you are such fine examples of putting the "constructive hope" into practice—to show these misguided Americans to what perils their "destructive hoping" will bring us all. Therefore you, more than any other group, can prove that "constructive hope" makes for overcoming, for working together, for unifying our nation, for attaining our goal of victory, before too many of your sons must lose their lives. It is the hope to which you, the drafted mothers, hold fast; it is the hope that you inspire in your boys, without which their fighting would become aimless and ineffectual; it is the hope that brings you strength and solace when you give those boys to your country to conquer barbarous enemies, and to safeguard the freedom we cherish so dearly; it is the hope that will bring us victory, because it endures the test of time that war puts upon it.
