Junior Star Editor.

what 1t is, what 1t is supposed t(
accomplish Since then. my tele'
phone has been ringing almost con-
, stantly. Every boy and girl, il
semes, wants to be jeep.
Well, that suits me fine. Tht
more jeeps, the more weeps-fo1
the enemy. Which is horrible
rhyming, but, after all, this isn't g
poetry contest. It's a war-ano
for keeps, which is all the more
reason for jeeps. And that's a punl
rhyme, too, but what am I to dc
when all want is to see the jeeps
through? Which is still another
poor rhyme, but I'm afraid 1 just
can't stop it this time -.
All of which is to say that the
fellow who has spurs that jingle
jangle, jingle" has nothing on me
I have a telephone that does the
same thing. And the gist of all the
jingling, jangling, jingling seems to
be that just about every reader OF
The Junior Star seems to be deter
mined to become a jeep.
Which is all right with me be-
cause the more jeeps we have, the
more weeps our enemy will-but,
shucks, there I go again!
Well, anyWay-and just for in
stance-out in Cottage City, Md,
the boys are doing some Junior Red
Cross jeeping that is, so far as I
know, entirely original. That, at
any rate, is the way I get the story
from Pauline sissy Haley. 10, of
Barron street. She says the Cot
tage City army" which was COW
cred in a j. S. story several months
ago (and also on THE Junior Star
of the Air'D, is now engaged in
special work for the Junior Red
Cross" Part of this special work, "
she explains, is putting on a carni-
val at which cents admission Is
charged, the proceeds to go to the
JRC. She promises detailed story
of the Cottage City crowds "jeep-
ing" later.
Another "jeeper" is Charles Potts,
16, of 4401 South Sixth street, Ar
lington, who wants to give a play
for the benefit of the United Service
Organizations.
ITO do this" Charles writes, IT
must get together boys and girls
who have the ambition of becoming
great actors and actresses. This
play will be shown two or three
weeks. The full proceeds will go to
the USO."
Charles plans to present a band,
as we'll as a play. He has written
to several Hollywood movie pro-
ducers for help, he says, and is
sure" that his plans will be a
great success" He is anxious to
hear from actors, actresses and mu-
sicians from 13 to 18 before August
l. His phone number is oxford
l484-J.
This Is the last "Just Between
Ourselves column until August 9,
because yours very truly Is going
on his vacation. In fact. by the
time this is published, he will have
gone. 1t seems good time, there
fore, to clean up lot of odds and
ends that have been kicking around
for too long already. Such. for
instance, as
This note from Jeanne Barinott,
Is, Of Mckinley High School: This
is just to thank you for the last
two prize checks. I used the money
to pay my breakage bill in chemistry
and for War stamps" And from
Maxine Goldstein, Is, Roosevelt
High School: II want to thank
you very much for the dollar I re-
ceived for my poem. I am going to
buy War stamps with it. Perhaps
you might be interested in the corre-
spondence I have with q boy in Car
acas, Venezuela. This boy is very
intelligent, and he describes all
the interesting scenes in his country.
One of the most amazing things he
told me about Is tree more than
1000 years old. 1t Is called 'Saman
de Guere' This tree is so huge, he
told me, that it is said that Simon
Bolivar, iberator Of Venezuela and
other South American countries, sat
in its shade with an army of 1000
men. Although this sounds fantastic,
he says that this tree, from far away
looks like small mountain. The
tree has great history, going back
to the days when the Indians ruled
the land. This is only one of the
many interesting things I have
learned about down the South
American way" John Boyle,
18, of New Orleans, La, who has
just discovered The Junior Star
while vacationing in Vienna, Va,
wants to know if he can become
a contributor. The answer is: "Of
course. Just turn in something in
teresting." His hobbies are books
of adventure. hiking, fishing, dane
ing, music, writing, movies and bowl
ing. Belonging to the Campfire
Girls is lots of fun," reports Dagne
Nordholm Lindinhurst, 10, Franklin
Sherman School, Mclean. Va.
Il received the check for ST as pay
ment for my prize winning poem,

land I wish to express my
thanks for it. I used the money
to increase my savings in War
stamps. I'll soon have my own War
bond, so feel like I, too, own
share in America"
