That was when the "phony'
phase of the war exploded in the
'blitz" and Nazi columns begar
stabbing blow-torch holes in the
confined Dutch, Belgium, French
and British front.
'They didn't advance on q
broad front in successive waves
of sltirmishers under n creeping
barrage, rs they had done in the
other war;" said Dickens. "They
came In swift, parallel columns

Jackie Coogon's Fists
AnsUered Tounts

Jackie was taken to DR.. Grace
Fernald. associate professor of
psychology at U. C. L. A.. for con-
sultation and examination.
Waiting in the clinical school
Jackie watched with interest other
children learning to read and TO
write, to do arithmetic and other
school work In a way he had never
known. way he would have liked
to study
Rising from a desk near Jackie
a boy OF his own age walked up
carrying a book and said:
I'll bet you can't even read
this"
And Jackie answered:
Maybe not. hut can lick YOU. -
And they dashed outside The
building for one OF the brefest
yet most bitter fights ever seen on
the campus.

Started Lessons at 3,
Composed the Next Year


Andre started lessons on the
piano when three years old. His
father was his teacher. The next
year the boy composed his first
number and at five made his first
public appearance. When nine
years old Andre gave a recital in
Paris and the next year won thun-
derous applause in a brilliant
United States debut at Town Hall
in New York City.
But one OF the best known prod
igles OF all. perhaps. is the boy of
decade or so ago who stole into
the hearts OF millions as The
Kid Jackie Coogan, the wistful
waif made famous by Charles
Chaplin.
For years the lovable kid" was

try of the world even as the Dionne
quintuplets are known today.
A talented actor. possessed of a
brilliant mind. Jackie was beset
with problems peculiar to a child
in his position. problems every
child prodigy must face. problems
Jackie is still trying to solve.
Because Of the long hours he
worked under the klieg lights of
Hollywood. unnatural hours for a
child. The Kid" had no time for
ordinary schooling. did not have
the natural life of the average
child. He had tutors. yes. excel
lent ones. but it was not a salts

1t allow Jackie the opportunity TO

Children Not AIloued
To Become Snobbish

Ordinary rules Of silence and
discipline are relaxed.
The important part of this pro-
gram is that the children are not
allowed to become snobbish or In
sufferable. for classes are conduct
ed in a democratic fashion and.
although some have a greater ca
pacity for learning than others,
they think nothing Of 1t.

THERE'S colony in Canada among whose
men there are hundreds who have been
condemned to firing squads.
The colony is Little Norway" the Royal
Norwegian Air Force training camp at Island
Park, Toronto; the condemned are filters who
escaped from Norway, some in stolen Nazi
planes, when the Germans overran it. German
authorities have announced the death sent
ences for all Norwegians who have left the
country to fight for the Allies
The RNAF-in-exile is supported by the
Norwegian government-in-exile, commanded
by the king-in-exile, and is already at many
times the strength of the few dozen out-dated
planes which battled the Nazis in Norway.
The RNAF has two squadrons in action
with British forces overseas, runs its Toronto
camp ful-tilt to provide more pilots.
Many of the men were filters at home be-
fore they escaped; many are younger, hot
blooded youths struggled out of Norway
after the occupation; many are Americans
some of them of Norwegian descent, who have
joined up to help the Morse fight fer freedom
The pictures on this page are of the
RNAF in training at Little Norway.
