at ffHs sttf3ff3. AiiGEIff.IIf Reerleeiional Attention ls Explained Many
 Agencies Involved

The Army-through the Morale Branch with headquarters in Wash ington, and s'tq
 The Navy through the Bureau of Navigation, take full responsi bility for the needs of soldiers and sailors within the reservations. They have provided theatres, re- creation halls, day rooms, service clubs, guest houses, and chapels in the camps. Under the Command ing Officer, Morale Officers, Re- creation and Athletic Officers, Hostesses, and Chaplains are re- sponsible for the entertainment, re- creation, athletics, welfare, and re- ligious programs.
 The Red Cross-is responsible for a Home Service program for the soldiers and sailors through family contacts and correspondence. It also conducts welfare and recrea- tion programs in the hospital areas.
 The Federal Security Agency through Paul McNutt, Coordinator of Health, Welfare, and Related Defense Activities, and Charles P. Taft, Assistant Coordinator is the agency designated to supervise and supplement community activities. Congress is being asked to appro- priate funds for recreational build ings for soldiers and sailors in con- munities where local resources are inadequate to provide such facili- ties. These recreational buildings and service clubs will be manned with personnel supplied by thu e United Service Organizations.
 Local Recreation and Health Councils-organized in communities adjacent to camps and reservations and working with the Coordinator rs field staff, are asked to do all they can to provide wholesome re- creation, entertainment, and re- ligious service for the soldiers and sailors who flock to them in off, duty hours on evenings and week ends.
 The United Service Organizations -"the US.O.,s with the approval of the Government, is undertak- ing a drive for $10, 0,765, ,000 to meet the crucial needs for personnel for the operation of recreational build- ings planned by the Federal Co., ordinator and local communities for soldiers and sailors in com munities where local facilities are inadequate. The constituent organ izations-the Y.MC.A., the Nation al Catholic Community Service, the Salvation Army. the Y.W.C.A., the Jewish Welfare Board, and the National Travellers Aid-are par ticularly qualified to operate these community service clubs providing recreational and welfare facilities

The second picture. Keeping
Company" is neat little do
nestle comedy, the first, we're
told. Of series, telling of the
troubles which can beset fwo
youngsters like John Shelton and
cutie pie Ann Rutherford during
the outset of their married life.
The moral, eoidentIy, of this
and the subsequent offerings, is
that no matter how much pa

and Irene Rich. tDant to help, the
young couple must work them out

JOE CONT, the Detroit boy
who signed film contract With
Warner Brothers last Summer is
in town today. Not in person,
however, but in celluloid form. He
appears in the cast of John Gar
fields latest picture. East of the
River" which opened at the Palms
State yesterday, along with Santa
Fe Trail" moved over from the
Michigan.
Cont, who is well-known around
Detroit as S'radio entertainer, en-
acts the role of Garfield as boy
in the film. IT is easy TO under
stand why Joe was given this
assignment for he not only looks
like Garfield but he also displays
the same mannerisms and speech.
With his performance in this opus,
it might be well to add that young
Mr.. Cont is well on his way TO a
film career.

To Horse Again

The film feature is Trail of the
Vigilantes" and is a western TO
end all westerns. We don't know
whether the producers were DELHI
erately trying to pen a parody of
all those mesa melodramas you've
been riding through for the past
few weeks. but they've got just
about everything you could expect.
Stagecoach holdup, cattle rustlers,
surefire heroes. dirty villains.

female; all come in for fair share
Of film footage.
Franchot Tone is the tcnderfoot
who goes west TO uncover some

Detroit Boy Has Role
In NelU PaIms-State Film,

last long. but here is Garfield
again in the same, familiar under
dog role that gained him screen
fame. He is either a wiSe-cracking
hoodlum or a hard-to-handle con-
vict. In this case he's both.
Aside from John, the central
character in the story is Marjorie
Rambeau, a veteran actress whose
portrayal is faultleSs.
Brenda Marshall contributes the
love interest. Shr' appears first as
Garfield's scheming companion,
and then later as a reformed girl,
seeking refuge in domestic happi-
ness.

Those Taylor-made roles in
which Robert appears misunder-
stood are all very well for win

gets to be the kind of material
they'd hand out for Gloria Jean as

The picture is too long and not
enough attention is devoted to the
comedy Of Red Shelton. Miss Hus-
