Since then, that scene has been repeated
in camps all over the country. The
Gazette" is now only one of 2lO Army
newspapers written and produced by the
soldiers themselves. Some are mineo-
graphed like the Gazette. Others,
printed, look slick and professional. Many
soldiers, like the Gazette" staff, give up
their free time to put out a paper. Others,
assigned to a posts publicity Office, devote
part of their working hours to it.
Type of material varies. Some papers
are out-and-out news-sheets. Like small
carbon-oopy of your daily newspaper, only
all the news is about the Army. Others re-
semble high-school or college journals.
Light-hearted jokes, gossip, cartoons.
GOOD JOB. The soldier r-newspapermen
are doing good job for themselves as well
as for camp spirit. The Army, turning out
good soldiers, is also, with its papers, pro-
ducing a lot of good new writers, reporters.
cartoonists, cameramen.
One boy, former mechanic, had eaten
his heart out for chance to get news
paper job. He was drafted He volunteered
for work on the Dix First Call, Gazette
competitor. Last week, he received an
offer OF a job on a big-city newspaper.
Effective when his Army time is up. Two
of the volunteer cartoonists have been
asked to contribute comic drawings to i'm
portant popular magazines. And that's just
a sample of what's happening nationally.

STATE

Beginning today, if you. see peo- pie walking around the streets wear ing silly grin, don't be alarmed because, without doubt, they've just been to the air conditioned State and have seen the all-out laugh riot, Caught in the Draft" :" which co-stars those popular screen and radio gagsters, Bob Hope and Dorothy Larnour. .ss
 If you're the type that finds 1t hard to laugh, then you just can't miss seeing this hilarious treat. Filled with wealth of brand new Army gags delivered in the inimit- able Hope fashion, the story de- scribes g rockies life in the Army.
 Against background of running wild tanks, comedy warfare, para chute drops and catchy new tunes, the film promises to be an even funnier show that Bob's last com edy, Road to Zanzibar" Bob and Dorothy are assisted by Lynne Overman and Eddie Bracken who do their best to show the Army few new, tricks
 Dorothy takes the part of the colonels daughter, who wants her rookie to be hero before she says "yes" and turns the colonel into a kernel to make her dream come true. Hope plays the part of a movie actor who's in the Army as the boomeranged result of one of his own practical jokes. He's the gun-shy, goose-pimply hero who'll floor you with his brand new stock of Army gags.
 Bob and his two musketeer rookie friends, Overman and Bracken, reach the climax of this all-out comedy film when they take part in some war games that rival any slapstick hair-raisers in the mem- ory of critics.
 Loaded with sparkling wit, tune full melodies and laugh-lines that explode in split second precision Caught in the Draft" is prize en- tertainmerit Y the kind that even the Army boys at the camps will write home about.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents another delightful comedy that is chock full of laughs and surprises, titled West Point Widow" starring Anne Shir- ley.
