"ADAM'S RIB" Hilarious comedy "Adam's Rib," story of a district attorney and his lawyer-wife who take opposite sides in the trial of a woman who has shot her philandering husband, brings Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn to the Roxy screen in one of the funniest comedles of the year. The screen play, written by Garson Kanin and Ruth Gordon. bears the same contagious humour and outrageous wit of Kanin's long-run Broadway comedy success, "Born Yesterday." and, furthermore, Judy Holliday, who starred in the Kanin play, now offers filmgoers a view of her distinctive comedy tal. ents in the role of the deceived wife in "Adam's Rib." But the story is primarily Tracy's and Hepburn's, with the former cast 88 the placidly successful Adam Bonner.
deeply in love with the sparkling and impetuous Amanda, tolerating her impassioned polemics on the equality of women with men, and even forgiving her- mild but Irritating Airtation with David Wayne, the songwriter in the apartment nextdoor. It is only when Amanda rushes to the defence of the would-be murderess and, by making a fool of Adam, in court, persuades the jurors to find the accused innocent. that a rift opens husband and wife. Two such electric personalities may cause sparks when they are together but they obviously cannot engender A flame apart, and Adam and Amanda resolve their differences just 88 they are on the verge of divorce. Incidentally, there have been plenty of reconciliation scenes on the screen before but never one as uproarious 88 this one.
Tracy and Hepburn, who have proved their mettle A8 a comedy team in such hits as "Women of the Year" and "Without Love." are utterly delightful as the sniping couple, of 'Adam's Rib." Judy Holliday. as the mousey wife, wins some of the Aim's loudest laughs in the howling courtroom sequences. Tom Ewell is a perfect choice 88 the henpecked worm who finally turns, David Wayne gives a Noel Coward flavour to the role of the slyly amiable song. writer. and Jean Hagan rounds out the cast as the blowey "other man" whose affair with Ewell starts off the hilarity reworks.
The George Cukor fair for original comedy devices and slap-stick punch is again evident in his happy direction of this new M.G.M. offering. "Adam's Rib." an M.G.M. Silver Anniversary Picture, emerges AB witty and sparkling comedy gem.

Whitton Man Injured FOOT NEARLY SEVERED Doctors at the Leeton Hospital are still fighting to save the foot of Mr.
Jim Pannowitz, which was injured last Wednesday while he was operating a cumbungi cutter in a channel on Kooba Station. The cutter WAS being reversed when it overbalanced and slipped back, striking Mr. Pannowitz, and half severing his foot from the ankle. By good fortune the cutter just missed an artery but still the wound bled profusely. Workmates applied first aid and transported the injured man by horse and cart for a distance of three miles to the woolshed where he was picked up by the Leeton Ambulance and hurried hospital where the doctors immediately performed operation in the hope of saving Mr.
Pannowitz's foot. SANTA VISITS RICHARDS STORE Scenes of terrific excitement were witnessed in Pine Avenue, Leeton and at Richards Store on Friday afternoon where all the children in Leeton appeared to have congregated to extend a right royal welcome to Father Christmas. Promptly at 3.30 p.m. the grand old man moved up Pine Avenue in a red van, decorated on the front with two lifelike reindeers, continually tooting the horn and pulled up in front of the store. As the gentle man red robes struggled out of the laden down with bags full of and his long white beard streaming out in the delightfully cool breeze, that was such a pleasing contrast to the heat wave conditions of Thursday, woman's voice was heard shouting above the shrill welcoming clamour of the children, "It's just as well you didn't come yesterday Santa." Owing to his portly figure, the weight of the toys, and the children surging all about him, Santa Claus had quite a battle to get inside the doorway and there were shrieks of laughter when he got jammed half WAY across the threshold and for some moments was unable to move backwards or forwards.
Inside the store was just one seething mass of children and it was with the greatest difficulty that Santa Claus was able to struggle up the stairway on to the balcony from which vantage point he addressed the children. The crush became so great that the management store had to request Santa Clause to continue his talk with the children out on the footpath. Santa will again visit Richards store to-morrow (Wednesday) afternoon about 3 p.m.. and also on Thursday afternoon at approximately the same time. BOWLS Last Sunday's GRADE Wade d.

is red serious two years ago when no citrus on the Irrigation Areas position was even worse, and Jack Davison, Lake Wyangan, even more." Mr. Davidson stressed that the position was by no means hopeless, block which was infested with scale last year and the year before could be cleaned up thoroughly and effectively in one season. He said the ideal combination to effect such a clean up of Red Scale in any orchard was that of fumigation and oil spraying. To secure 100 per cent control 8 combination of things was necessary. Warm still nights were needed for successful fumigation.
In the Griffith area, he instanced, there were quite a number of very large blocks of trees which could not be fumigated in one night. If broken weather came along it was possible for trees which had been fumigated to be reinfested from the dirty part of the block before the job was ished. It was not possible however. for the number of fumigation gangs available to get around all the farms in one season, and 80 a number of growers would have to rely on oil spraying. Properly carried out, this programme could give good control of the serious peat.
He went on to out the mafor flaw in many growere' attempts affecting farmers' profit from scale which was regarded as less than 30 per cent. of the was affected. Last year the this year Extension Officer reports, "It could deteriorate to combat Red Scale with white oil. He said they followed the recommended practices for securing control, but very often fell down on the important factor of gallonage per tree. It was not generally realised that 10 gallons of spray on tree was only equal to about 10 points of rain, and some growers mistakenly applied only two or three gallons of spray to the tree.
"Everything depends on the thoroughness of he added. "I've sprayed trees 14 feet high by 16 feet through, and they took 12 gallons of spray per tree. That gives some idea of what must be done if spraying is to be effective. Inefficlent spraying is a waste of time. effort and money." At Tocumwal, one year, spraying was carried out at a rate of 100 galIons to 59 trees, and scale had not been much of, a problem there since.
Mr. Bill Jackman. of Farm 659. Yoogall, is one grower who has been able to keep scale union control by annual attacks in which he has put 88 much as 15. gallon; of spray on some of the larger trees.
