DEAR FOLKS By VAN Here We Go Again Well, a new year has come, and here we are writing this column in our "blackout" room, one of Cali fornia's newer innovations. Of course since the war jitters have worn off. even this innovation is being capital ized on. Stores, cafes, hotels, amuse ment centers, etc., all advertise "blackout conveniences." as well as supplies, materials, etc.. for use dur ing blackouts. We gave our personal answer to the enemy by putting our Christmas tree in our blackout room for there will always be Christmas for free people, long after back-stabbing aggressors are wiped off the face of the earth. Although we only experienced one actual and total blackout at the out set of war, there there are plenty of other evidences of the war here abouts. Enlisted men have increased in numbers on the streets; long truck convoys are constantly trans porting soldiers through town; friends of ours living in coast towns tell of submarine activity in their .neighborhood; the Japanese mar kets have up signs reading: "This Market Owned and Operated by American Citizens," air traffic of army planes has increased overhead; areas around defense plants are bar- . red to those without business there. The writer of this department, even turned to unofficial transport duty recently, by giving a lift to a soldier who had missed the bus after coming off duty as a guard at a public utility station. When the pri vate climbed into our sedan with full , equipment including tin .hat anjmu; nition belt, rifle,' etc.'; we f fit '-sorry for the Japanese. Uncle Sam will soon have a lot more "nephews" like this boy who will give the "Rising Sun" an acute case of lead poisoning.

No, it wasn't Santa Claus just a simple little ad vertisement in a newspaper which began: "WANTED For important screen role small (white) boy 9 or 10 years old. Acting experience not necessary". Thus did M-G-M Studios bring down on their heads a deluge of kids, mammas, and papas, all hoping that junior would be the lucky one chosen. For the fun of it (oh well, if you must know, we were hoping, too) we tock our son and heir over to get in on the fun. Kids, kids, kids. Blondes, brunettes and carrot tops. Short, tall, skinny and fat kids were marching up and down the studio streets, under the eagle eyes of the studio police who saw that they went into the audition hall and no where else. There under the scrutiny of casting department officials, a few boys were weeded out for fur ther consideration and the rest guided to the studio gate which was surrounded with parents, like the schoolgrounds on graduation day. Only this time, sad to say, junior hadn't made the grade.
