MILITARY experts con tend that “Singing sol diers are fighting soldiers”— so American army men on all fronts and in camps at home are to receive army hit-kits each month, with the lyrics of six top songs selected by the soldiers and a committee headed by Fred Waring.

Kate Smith and Guy Lombardo are also members of the 1 committee. -* Laraine Day, Cary Grant’s lead ing lady in RKO’s "Mr. Lucky,” has her biggest opportunity in that pic ture, but she had to be killed off to get it.

The sound effects library at War ner Bros, keeps right up to date; added some new effects for "Air Force,” and ran into one of the most difficult recordings made so far— the smacking sound made by the opening of a parachute when a pilot leaps. -% Henry Aldrich and his family have burst into print, by way of an ex cellent article in a national maga zine. They’re so real that it’s a shock to go to the play, "The Pa triots,” and see House Jameson, Henry’s radio father all these years, giving a superb performance as Alexander Hamilton. Incidentally, Madge Evans, silent screen star and wife of "The Patriots’ ” author, plays Thomas Jefferson's daughter.

For months, in the face of shortages and lack of experienced help, he’s been trying to carry on ... trying to give you the kind of service you’ve always ex pected of him. Now he has a brand new problem — point rationing. He has to collect the stamps from you as well as the cash. It’s a burden for him—sure—and for you. But he knows and you know that it’s got to be done. It’s the only fair way of making sure that everybody gets a tair share. That’s our way of doing things. So it’s his job—and your job—everybody’s Job — to mate point rationing u>ork...as smoothly, as efficiently as possible. Traffic jams in food stores aren’t going to help anybody. ☆ ☆ ☆ Now there arc a number of ways in which you can give this grocer of yours a real hand ... in a good, neighborly American way. You can shop early in the day, early in the week. You can shop as infrequently as possible—once a week only, if you can manage. You can always make sure to have a shopping list, and to have your “point values” added up before you go to the store. And you can help yourself as well as your grocer by using the plentiful, non rationed foods as much as you can, instead of the scarce, rationed foods. Foods such as cereals, fresh fruits and vegetables, home cooked soups, home-canned fruits and vege tables are wot rationed anj they deserve an important place in your wartime meals. ☆ ☆ ☆ Because cereals are one of these abundant un rationed foods, we here at the Kellogg factory in Battle Creek have been doing everything we possibly can to meet the unprecedented de mand for our products.
