The White Falcon - 23.09.1944, Blaðsíða 2

The distinctive shape of this chair tends to accentuate the
shapely curves of sultry movie starlet Aquanetta — the girl we’d
like most to blow out the candles on the Falcon birthday cake.

Take A Grain Of
Salt With This One
In McCook, Neb., Pfc. Ernest
Olivier of Pittsburgh, Pa., round-
ed out a neat “jitterbug spin,”
reached for the hand of his part-
ner, missed it and toppled out
the second story window of a
dance hall.
Bouncing off the roof of a low
shed he landed unhurt — then
looked up at his dancing partner
framed in the open window, and
asked: “How about the next
dance?”
Chicago Theater
Closes Burlesque — Too
Few Male Customers
One of Chicago’s most famous
burlesque houses — the Rialto,
— has been forced to discontinue
its more spicy entertainment fea-
tures because of the growing
scarcity of male customers who’ve
been caught in the draft. In place
of thinly-clad girls, the theater
now presents swing bands and
movies.
War Increases Sale
Of ‘Who-Done-Its’
At least one effect which the
war has produced on the home
front is an increase in detective
fiction — which now constitutes
one-third of all fiction being pub-
lished in the U.S.

OOTNOTES
Bv
< PvT. ET. Ja-ck Grv&y
A FOTQ-NOTE about Tec 5 William Unverzagt, PX steward
and mail orderly for Camp Herskola. You who “sweat out the
line” know Bill. But few know that he was a
successful tax accountant for nearly 15 years be-
fore coming into the Army. A native of Brooklyn
(but minus the accent) Bill was with the well-
known accounting firm of Price, Waterhouse
& Co. in New York, In the Army now for the past
year, he has been in Iceland for seven months.
Although his present duties are a bit alien to
him, he finds his contacts “over the counter”
interesting —„ often giving him an engaging ip-
sight into human psychology. Married, the father of a 15-month-
old daughter, Thora, Bill hopes to returti to Brooklyn and Price
Waterhouse & Co. before too long.
To some GIs here, the impossible had happened .... they
were actually going HOME! .... To some it seemed incredulous
....Others would not even believe it—still asking “What’s the
hitch?” .... But after becoming familiar with the TD set-up and
as it became increasingly evident that it was true, the poignancy
of the fact lost some of its punch .... but none of its antici-
pated pleasure .... Home, to many GIs, may seem a little strange
.... for most of those eligible to return have more than put in
their “time” here in Iceland.
Most of the GIs have been agog over Miss Dietrich this past
week .... Aside from her show, she has been popping up in
many unexpected places .... doing many unexpected thing
For instance she proceeded to show Cpl. Dytro Dykan, Pvt. Earner
and Pfc. McEarchern how to make some delectable potato panc-
akes .... and brother, she knows how! .... Someone on this
“Rock” can collect a rare reward-an oscculation fom Marlene, no
less .... for the return of her overseas USO cap which she has
lost .... Finder please contact this, office .... Elsie Celli’s many
friends' are welcoming her return and she looks mighty happy
.... Cpl. Millard S. Thomson of the Base Chaplain’s office here
deserves credit for the fine job he has been doing as piano ac-
companist to violinist Werner Gebauer of the USO troupe playing
the island.
A reluctant good-bye was bid to Miss Louise Tucker, former
program director of the Red Cross • Center in Reykjavik ....
Bound for the States and her home in Chattanooga, Tenn., she
plans to spend her furlough there and then possibly accept a
domestic assignment.

to buy them.”
Some other recommendations
made by Byrnes were: (1) A re-
turn to the 40-hour week. (2)
Abandonment of manpower con-
trols to facilitate transfer of work-
ers from curtailed war programs
to civilian production. (3) Re-
tention of existing price ceilings
on civilian goods. (4) Removal
of additional foods from the rati-
on list as soon as supplies justify.
(5) Increase of gasoline allow-
ance for civilians. (6) Dropping
of the excess profit tax after the
defeat of Japan. (7) Reconsidera-
tion by Congress of a proposal
for a minimum weekly unem-
ployment compensation of $20
for a period up to 26 weeks.
Byrnes emphasized that the
prosecution of the war against
Japan would require a continued
production of great quantities of
war materials and declared that
basic industries such as steel and
textiles would not be affected by
the end of the European war.

Postwar Airplane
Fares Will Undergo
Large Reduction
Harold II. Bixby, vice-presi-
dent of Pan-American World Air-
ways, took a glimpse into the fut-
ure last week and revealed that
i postwar airplane fares between
i the Pacific Coast and Hawaii
1 would be less than $100. He de-
clared that his firm would offer
one-way fares from Los Angeles
and San Francisco .to Honolulu
for $96. A round-trip would cost
$172.00. The present fare is $278
one-way and $500 round-trip.
Planes which will make this
run, said Bixby, will have a speed
of 300 miles per hour and will
carry 128 passengers.

Shown above is Tec 5 Edgar A.
Galvani, ace shoemaker of the
QM Corps. Formerly an expert in
orthopedic footwear in New York
City, Galvani used to make shoes
for the big city’s “carriage trade”
— the Vanderbilts, Rockeffellers
and Whitneys. Many of Europe’s
royal families were also among
his customers. He claims that
some of his custom-built shoes
sold for as high as $67 per pair.
