cConstance . Talmadgo, Charming Motion

NSTEAD of eating between meals ... instead I of fattening sweets ... beautiful women keep youthful slenderness these days by smoking Luckies. The smartest and loveliest women of the modern stage take this means of keeping slender ... when others nibble fattening sweets, they light a Lucky!

Lucky Strike is a delightful blend of the world’s finest tobaccos. These tobaccos are toasted—a costly extra process which develops and im­ proves the flavor. That’s why Luckies are a de­ lightful alternative for fattening sweets. That’s why there’s real health in Lucky Strike. That’s why folks say: “ It’s good to smoke Luckies.”

For years this has been no secret to those men who keep fit and trim. They kn ow that Luckies steady their nerves and do not harm their physi­ cal condition. They know that Lucky Strike is the favorite cigarette of many prominent athletes, who must keep in good shape. They respect the opinions of 20,679 physicians who maintain that Luckies are less irritating to the throat than other cigarettes.

A reasonable proportion of sugar in the diet is recommended, but the authorities are over­ whelming that too many fattening sweets are Constance Talmadge, harmful and that too many such are eaten by Charming Motion the American people. So, for moderation’s sake Picture Star we say: —

Any teacher who has been bawled out in front o f his class by an over zealous adminis­ trator will attest to this fact. This incident is not an isolated example o f the department’s need to show how moral its teachers should be. At another school in the western suburbs, an area in­ spector was sent to warn two male teachers in their 20s about their “ overfamiliarity” with students. He was mainly concerned about the teachers drinking down at the pub with students. He also mentioned that two other teach­ ers had been suspended by the department for similar offences. When the inspector was asked by one o f the teachers who had dobbed them in, he replied, “ a friend” . Pardon me, education de­ partment, but your Gestapo tac­ tics are showing. Another example of the de­ partment’s intrusion into teacher's private lives took place earlier this year in a country area o f New South Wales. Two young teachers, one male and one female, decided to live together for financial rea­ sons and perhaps a little natural dalliance. Since small country towns are hard places to keep a secret in, the two teachers were discovered “ living in sin” . School administrators said no, area inspectors said no; and need­ less to say, the two teachers were transferred to separate districts to prevent any further dalliance. A veteran female teacher corrobora­ ted this story by saying that in several o f her former schools, the principal would transfer a teacher if he or she were found to be having a romance with another member of staff. The education department tries to pretend it is concerned with the morals of its students and teachers, but it seems more wor­ ried about adverse publicity. One principal’s favorite warning to his teachers about watching their be­ havior is: “ Just think of what the Daily mirror would do with this story” . The prevailing attitude seems to be: do it with teachers or
