...matter where the 250,000 nomads wander, 100 nurses and doctors of the California State Board of Health pursue them in shiny station wagons, inoculate them against typhoid and smallpox, take X-ray pictures of their lungs, give them Wassermann tests and treatment for syphilis. In 1939, reported State Health Director Walter Murray Dickie last fortnight, there were no first-class epidemics among the "Okies," although there were 696 cases of smallpox, 280 of malaria. Strangely enough the incidence of venereal disease among the migrants is lower than among native Californians, and they have relatively little tuberculosis. Greatest plague: dietary...
...second bad break was an injury to Ray Jenkins, a 6-foot 2-inch Sophomore who was the best of the Freshmen last year. Jenkins also plays football and is a great pitcher. But he broke his left arm in the football game with Columbia last fall and probably will not be available for basketball duty until the beginning of February, if at all.

Everything Happens at Night (20th Century-Fox) continues prudent but so far rather unproductive efforts to turn Sonja Henie into a dramatic actress against the day when even Henie fans may tire of seeing Henie skate. Surrounded by a capable cast (Maurice Moscovich, Robert Cummings, Ray Milland), in a trite little, tight little tale, this time Sonja Henie skates only once, and though she is a competent skier, long shots of her skiing were done by a double. But whether she is gliding backwards or forwards, or skating rings around Greek columns to the strains of The Blue Danube, Sonja...
...Then in 1937, having done what he could for R.K.O., Producer Aylesworth gave up cinema, went to work for the management of Scripps-Howard Newspapers. No lover of the New Deal, he suited President Roy Howard's increasing distaste for the Roosevelt Administration. Last year Roy Howard upped Ray Allen Huber, publisher of the New York World-Telegram, made him general manager of Scripps-Howard newspapers and put Merlin Aylesworth in charge of the World-Telegram...
