Zanuck has done it again!
The unprecedented advance- -ac-
claim being accorded his production
of “The Purple Heart” which will
show at the Grand Theatre on Sun-
day and Monday, hearlds the fact
that the producer who has given the
American movie-going public it's
most memorable screen thrills, has
once again achieved a screen master-
piece —and one being hailed by pre-
| viewers as his greatest triumph.
| With such unforgettable produc-
| tions as “How Green Was My Val-

| others to his credit—as well as the

FORTY ACRES FOR A PARK |
Forty acres of land have been of-|
fered to the City of Altoona for |
park and recreational purposes by |
the Pennsylvania Railroad, the State
Department of Commerce has been]
informed.
The plot for years was the home|
of the Altoona Cricket Club in which |
railroad officials and citizens of the |
community were interested. In addi-|
tion the field presented facilities for |
tennis players and an extensive golf

The railroad company’s proposal |
to turn the plot over to the city was|
coupled with the suggestion that it]
be turned into a memorial park in|
honor of the community's sons and |
daughters who are now in the armed |
forces.
In giving tentative consideration |
to proposed plans of the {future of |
the plot, members of council have |
expressed the desire to make it a re-|
creational center for the public.
RE-SURVEY OF HOSPITAL
FACILITIES TO BE MADE]
A re-survey ot the hospital facili- |

The protective council, a subordi-|

up a system of base and secondary
nospitals last year in anticipation of
calls of an emergency character in
war time,
Sixty base hospitals were selected.
There are over a hundred listed in
the secondary group of hospitals

One of the reasons why the new |
survey has been ordered is to ascer- |
tain the number of patients that could |
be hospitalized in the base hospitals |
which may differ from what was es-
| tablished last year because of the!
personnel situation affecting every
hospital.
