DOT LAMOUR IS
ACE SALESLADY
OF BOND FORCE
BY MARTIN KANE

United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, June 1.-(UP)-Doro-
thy Lalnour, who is most generally
on view winning the sons Of tycoonS
during typhoons, while. clad In
zoot sarong, wishes she was q man.
What with one thing and another
this is clearly impossible but Miss
Lamour has a strong yen to heave
hand grenade at Hirohito. Know
ing that better pitching arms are
available among the male sex, she
has turned down an offer of $4,000
week plus percentage for per-
sonal appearance tour to start her
second trip around the country sell
ing war bonds and persuading fac
tory workers that the treasury's pay
roll savings plan is a good idea.
100000 Minute
The first tour ran five weeks and
this one began April 26 and will end
In mid-June. She used to do one
night stands singing with a band
but 1t was nothing like working on
treasury booking.
There were 10 days when we
didn't sleep in a bed one night" she
said. Her recollection of the tour
thus far is montage shot of pa
rades, factories, faces, boots march,
ing up and down again, and thous-
ands Of hands signing up pledges to
buy bonds and taking away auto
graphed pictures Of Dotty.
In Gary, Ind, she sold $4,500,000
worth Of bonds In about As minutes,
as nearly as she can recall. It fig
ures out to a neat 100000 q minute.
In Huntington, w. Va, 1t was So
10000, and In Charleston, w. Va,
1t was close to 100000.
No More Canned Speeches
"At other times ! talk in factories
about the payroll savings plan or
do whatever the treasury thinks I
should do" she explained. She does
not sing except when she entertains
service men, The tours began Just
after she had completed two pic
lures, Beyond the Blue Horizon"
and Road to Morocco" and, as she
has developed laryngitis Just from
making speeches constantly, her
voice wouldn't stand the added
strain Of singing.
A treasury writer prepared her
first speech, delivered at City Col
lege Of New York.
THE audience was all boys" she
recalled. II read 1t down to a part
where it said, "Well have to fight
together-you, and you, and me.
The boys all screamed 'Whoo!' and
now don't read speeches any more.
I just talk to them from my heart,
even II I'm not much of a speech
maker.
That's No Chi-Chi
II was talking in one factory
about the Hollywood Committee for
War Savings Staff and how all mo-
vie workers are turning In part OF
their earnings for bonds, but I could
see what these workers were think
ing.
"They were thinking, Look at her
all dressed up, telling us to buy
bonds-on our wages So told them
it's only nine years since I was work.
ing in a factory, too, for SIS a week.
Them they started coming up to
sign pledges French, Italians,
Greeks, Germans, every nationality,
men with dirty, grimy hands who'd
been working for that dough.
II felt so proud Of them. This
trip has opened up a whole new
world to me. And that's no CHI
Chi"

WATERBURY BOYS ARE FOR U.S.O. :

George Rowbottom, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Archer Rowbottom of 1872 Columbia boule-
ward, who recently enlisted in the U. S. Navy,
says:
II have been in many USO club houses
and believe me, the USO is the sailors home
away from home. would have been mighty
lonesome many times if there were no USO.
The knowledge that these facilities are pro-
vided by you folks at home sure makes life a
great deal more pleasant"

liberty to 60 to Balboa and Panama
City on the Pacific side of the
1sthmus. However, liberty for all
servicemen, in both the Canal Zone
and the Republic of Panama, ends
at 1890 pm.
Men who go over to the Pacific
side must spend the night in the
Marine Barracks there and return
the following morning. Transporta-
ton from one side to the other is by
train (about an hour and a half
rlde) or permission may be secured
to go through the Canal on a ship.
Recreation Facilities.
Here at the base there are recrea-
tion facilities open to marines. A
gymnasium is near at hand. A new
ships service store (post exchange)
has just been opened. An attractive
theater near the barracks (natu-
rally air conditioned, it is screened
in on both sides) has nightly
movie. The movies, like the maga-
zines mentioned above, are also a
month or so late. The fact that the
theater is packed nightly speaks for
itself.
Marines have always prided them
selves on appearance, so a large
part of Leatherneck' spare time
here is put in shining shoes and
pistol holsters, pressing pants and
shirts and cleaning equipment.
Also the barracks provides a Ii
brary, pool tables and combination
radio-Victrola with a supply of rec
ords recorded by Marine Corps
groups.

Juneau's rubber salvage campaign really rolled into high gear today as youngsters combed the beaches and vacant lots for the vital war materiel for which the government is paying one cent pound. One boy turned in 375 pounds, collected $375 and bought $375 worth of War Stamps
 Collection depots have been es- tablished in Juneau Motors and Cowling and Davlin Go. Free do- nations will be taken to the depots from homes by grocery delivery truck. If you expect to get paid for the rubber, turn it in at one of the depots.
 Executive Officer Frank Dufresne was appointed by campaign chair man Tom Dyer today as official rubber stamp collector for the fer tile grounds in the offices of the Federal Building, and started out this afternoon on his duties.
 Dyer said that the response has been fine, with all businesses, or ganizations and Juneau residents cooperating 100 percent.
