COURTESY OF KING FEATURES SYNDICATE.

The American Scene
A poll of Dartmouth college
servicemen shows that one third
will continue their college edu-
cation after the war. Another
third will return to civilian jobs,
and the remainder will seek em-
ployment. Results were indicat-
ed by returns from the first 2000
of 7500 Dartmouth men in the
armed forces who were quizzed.
O
A lot of wives dislike moust-
aches for reasons they usually
explain, but police chief Albert
Roll of Chicago offered no ex-
planation at all for ordering:
“All officers must report to work
smoothly shaven. No moustaches
or sideburns will be tolerated.”
It was a sad day for many a
dashing be-moustached police-
Brothers Meet
At ARC After
Long Separation
Running into a pal from the
old home town when visiting a
Red Cross club here is nothing
new, even though it can still be
classed as something to yell
about. But when a fellow walks
in and bumps into his brother,
that’s something to write home
about.
It happened this week to T/5’s
Garland and Kelly Oswald of
McL'outh, Kansas. Their meeting
at the Reykjavik Rec Center
marked the first time in ten
months they had seen each oth-
er, even though both men have
been stationed in Iceland all that
time.
Until ten months aga these Kan-
sas brothers had the Arinv’s
“scatter” system beaten. Induct-
ed together at Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas, in February of ’42, they
were both sent to Camp Crow-
der, Mo., for three months of
basic training. Their luck held
out when orders to “move on”
came in following months, and
they were barracks mates in
three different camps after basic.
Landing in- Iceland last sum-
mer, however, they were broken
up and out of touch with each
other until their meeting at the
Rec Center, By a strange coinci-
dence, they were both promoted
to T/5 on the same day, even
though in different camps.
Los Angeles police are on the
lookout for a hit-and-run pedes-
trian—.a tough Marine. Wallace
D. Whylock said he was driving
his car when a Marine dashed
across the street, collided with
his car, and kept going. Damages
to the car included a broken
headlight, a dented fender and
a broken bumper guard. When
last seen the Marine had no in-
juries.

Mrs. Donna Koch of Chicago
was indignant when she appear-
ed in superior court asking a
divorce from a 28-year-old war
worker. The judge wanted to
know the difficulty. “He stayed
out too late and never paid any
attention to the clock,” Mrs. Koch
explained. In reply to the judge’s
query as to what she had been
doing to support herself, she re-
plied, “I am a time study en-
gineer.” The divorce was grant-
ed.

“The loneliest spot in Ohio
these days is in Belmont county
jail,” say authorities who ought to
know; the jail population used
to average 80 — but not a soul
is i# residence now.
Abe Bastrom of Miami, Fla.,
a roomer, was sitting in an easy
chair, nursing a broken left leg.
He got into an argument with
the owner, 51, and soon the fra-
cas went beyond words and ac-
cording to Bastrom, McGregor,
the owner, hurled him bodily
through the front door. Bastrom
is back in his easy chair, nurs-
ing two broken legs, while Mc-
Gregor is in jail on charges of
being drunk and disordei'ly.
“Up In Mabel’s Room” is the title of Marjorie Reynold’s new-
est picture, and we’ll let you know as soon as it arrives on the
Rock.
Sacrifice On
The Home Front
People living in the vicinity
of the Ingersoll Steel and Discs
plant, in Kalamazoo, Michigan,
protested to the city commission
that they couldn’t sleep for noise
at the plant. The employees of the
war plant sent a letter to the
neighbors. “Come on over here
/and help win the War,” the letter
said, “and in that way end the
noise that much soonei;.”
The written message went on
to explain that the enemy would-
n’t stop its guns for soldiers to
sleep and “therefore we cannot
stop the testing of tanks at night
iu order that the public might
sleep.” No further protests were
heard.
‘Come Home’ Says Mother
—‘You’re Drafted’

recently in a New York City
newspaper read: “Julius, you’re
