Other food items now under

next year include sugar, coffee,
meats and cheese. Canned goods
may be rationed because of the
shortage in many items and milk
may be doled out in metropolitan

The agriculture department
moved TO alleviate the milk situa-
ton somewhat by releasing &c.

He yelled and cheered and

TAKEN ON STAGE
Then when the curtain closed
with the last smashing finale,
Capt A. II. Rankin, executive Off
'tcer of the show, took Pvt. Leslie
Taylor, 80. the lad from Dieppe, up
on the stage.
The boys of the cast had asked
to meet him. All afternoon auto
graph seekers had been swarming
about. Now it was different. The
stars of the show wanted to shake
Leslie's hand. They wanted to
hear him talk.
There isn't much to say" said
Leslie, recovering from a shrap-
mel wound in the leg. "Only this.
The next time We go we'll stay"
Then he limped off the stage.
He did not 60 on TO the barracks
) for the get-together of American
and Canadian soldiers. He left TO
ATTEND memorial service for his
younger brother, James, who died
on the beach at Dieppe.
d Said Berlin TO Leslie:

real soldier
Thank you, sir" Leslie re-
Y piled.
: Somebody asked:
i what about a Bible ut

Leslie smiled family.
81 guess we all said a few
! prayers. j know I did"
CRAwLED HALF-MnE
That was while Leslie was
crawling half a mile to the beach,
head with his serious leg wound.
But, as Irving Berlin said, never
did his boys have such an audi
ience. IT was hard to tell who had
the most fun, the boys out front
or the actors.
Listen, we've had some good
n shows, but this one was tops,-
Berlin said.
u The start brought tears to many
an eye. Cast and audience stood,
sang first, God Save the King"
then the "Star-Spangled Banner"
Mrs. Berlin, very proud, sat Just
back of the boy from Dieppe.
Wish you could have seen her face
when her husband sang his old hit
of 1918. "Oh How / Hate 10 Get
up in the Morning" II is just as
good a song today, as you could
tell by the roar which went up
from the 1000 threats of boys
who live by the bugle.
AGREE HE'S TERRIFIC
She smiled happily:
HE Is terrific, isn't he ." And
we agreed
Then the big buses carried the
cast over TO St. Lukes Barracks,
where they were entertained in
the sergeants' mess.
Side by side. Canadians and
Americans sat down. drank their
ale, ate large sandwiches. The
Canadian boys wanted Cpl. Earl
Oxford (Stage Door Canteen), Cpl.
Robert Stanley (American Eagles,
Sgt. Jimmie Burrell. Ezra Stone
and the rest pointed out. They
wanted 10 meet those famous
ltumblers.
Driving back 10 Detroit, Berlin
talked about his boys:
They work like beavers.
They love II. We've played extra
shows before, but never one To
which everybody came with
such eagerness. They'll spend
Christmas here. You've been
wonderful 10 them, you De-
troiters."
HUNS WHITE CHRISTMAS
He hummed phrase of his
famous White Christmas"
Funny, wrote that two and
half years ago for stage
show which never came of. No,
never thought that II would
have special meaning for us with
our boys In Egypt, India, QUAD
