Hollywood, to make the film version
of the play Thereafter, they all
became known as the Dead End
Kids" and producers wanted to hire
them-whenever they wanted to hire
them-in block, to play TOUCHES.
Billy didn't like that. He had
dramatic ambitions. And though
there was money in the other way
of living, he decided to branch out
for himself. When he heard the
famous Towne and Baker, once
Hollywood's leading team of screen
writer's now turned producers, were
going to film Tom Browns School

proposing him for the role of Flash

arrangements to sleep at least 200
more under canvas this summer.
Most of the children do not pay
attention to the war. But there was
a little boy whose father won a
medal on the Maginot Line last
winter. The government sent a
duplicate, along with permission to
wear it, to his son. and the boy be-
came the hero of the camp.
And there was a 5-year-old boy
whose father had both his arms
blown off and the boy didn't seem
to notice anything was wrong. Per-

The children vary so. There is a
6-year-old girl who cries herself to
sleep every night Not for any per-

She says her prayers and climbs into
bed and lies there thinking, a
moment, and then she starts to weep,
almost silently, and she weeps until
she falls asleep and she will weep
until the war is over Will there be
any tears left over for crying then
or will all our eyes be dry as dead

The rest of the time, all I got was
