POLES

'The Band of 1e42" lived up to its name when it opened its two day engagement at the Loew-Poli The ater this afternoon, Tony Pastor and the band that has sky-rocketed this Middletown youth to fame and fortune sure "gave" and when they "gave" that was exactly what the throngs in attendance wanted, its music runs the range from the sweetest of swing right down through the lowest of blues and everything done in . manner that leaves nothing to be desired in band music. The maestro is his usual calm but definite self and the band re- sponded to every flick Of his baton, for the added attractions with the band there is Eugenie Baird, the singing delightful. Johnny tPara. diddie Joel Morris and "Stubby" Pastor, all members and part of the band. Then for the added attrac. tions there Is Grandma Perkins, that loyable character from radio, who eonvulsed the large audience with the surprise brand of enter talnment that she presented, add to all of this the surprising dancing of Helen Archer, and last but by no means least, the absolute class Of novelty acts, two young, talented and beautiful girls make their ape peaFanee on the stage and from then on there is no more resemblance to them and courteous, demure young ladies than there is to a bFawl lF the corner saloon. These two delightful bits Of femlnlnity show just why the ladies are no longer known as the weaker sex. The pasting that they deal out to each other Is noth- ing short of murder. they survive thanks to their wonderful eonstitu- tons, OF something and make for entertainment that ts novel ard worthy Of the name.

Mothers can go if they wish, but first choice is given to children, then to mothers of infants under one year, then to pregnant women The reaction of the Soviet chil' dren to the war has reafflrmed ths belief of the experts on child care in the U. S. s. R. that children take their cue from those abuot them and absorb and reflect the attitudes of those who are closest to them. Soviet children have been greatly influenced by the way their parents influenced by the way their parents, their older brothers and sisters, their school teachers, and theil playmates have been meeting the anMeties and dislocations created by the war.

STRAND

HollyWood'S juveniles, paced by Mickey Rooney, score another strike" in Metro Goldwyn-Mayer's "A Yank At Eton," which is being held over at the popular Strand theater for an additional 3 days showing in Waterbury.
 The picture opened this afternoon to an enthusiastic audience which was unanimous in it's praise of "A Rank At Eton" as Mickeys most outstanding film of the season.
 Young MT. Rooney takes part in one of the widest. and funniest, fight scenes ever filmed, plays foot ball, cricket aud a couple of Eton games called "fives" and the field game" runs a steeplechase, and wears a top hat.
 The story is about Mickey, an American boy and the star of his high school football team. He wants to go to Notre Dame, but winds up at Eton instead when his widowed mother marrles an Engllshman. Re- solved to hate his new surround lngs, he gets into one hilarious difficulty after another. including an almost constant conflict with hii new stepbrother, played expertly bS Freddie Bartholomew.
 For the top entertainment offer ing in the town, don't miss Micke, Rooney, that bundle Of yankes dynamite in "A Yank At Eton."

 In Moscow and in the front line sections, the nurseries and kinder gartens have been moved under ground wherever possible. This makes it possible for children tc take place maps in the shelters If an air raid alarm is sounded in the evening and remain there overnight. Interrupted rest, which played havoc with British children's nerves during the early blitz, has thus been eliminated to a large extent in the Soviet Union.

THE MAPLE GROVE
 (Continued)

Just now am thinking Of that maple grove again, Of the hill that stands above 1t And the river on the plain. Of the "nice new house" Where we lived for many a year. We could watch the distant mountain' The very thought just gives cheer. The maple grove still stands there, As It did SO very long ago. It stands there in the sunshine, And tt stands there in the snow But there always arc exceptions 10 every rule you know, ao the bee tree was chopped down, And that Is why it had to go, TheFaN nothing quite as dear AS money you must know, mlst aoney e Ehe sweetest thing, Wherever you may go.

There are hundreds of thousands of orphans of the war already In the Soviet union. While these are cared for ir1stitutionally, still the Soviet Union considers 1t necessary for their welfare to provide them with a home life. So widespread adoption plans are in progress. The demand for children for adoption is still greater than the supply in some places.
 Usually children evacuated from front. line areas at the beginning of the war are burdened with horrible memories and must have psycholog- ical care. Those of pre-school age are put in boarding schools which give fIll-time care to those who stilI have families but are separated from them.
 The teachers in these schools must not only educate the children but have a tender parental attis tude" toward them so that the sep- aration from home life is lessened through affectionate care.
 Tn regions removed from the threat of immediate invasion an organized plan of evacuation is now being carried out. Nurseries, kin. dergarten and sometimes whole schools are evacuated as functioning units. CHILDREN REGISTERED
 NsNU HaHy MT THnNC
 If a mother does not want her child to go along, she can refuse, but the impulse is strong to let the child accompany the playmates, doctors, and teachers already fa- miliar to him. Some of the mothers are taken along as helpers.
 In addition to this evacuation by a functional unit, there is evacu- ation op a geographic basis. In each dwelling in peacetime a complete register had been kept of the chil' dren, their ages, the pre-school and school institutions they attended, and state of health.
 Women volunteer workers in the housing section of the city and dis trict soviets keep such lists up to date and make 1t possible to plan an evacuation. The women in the various apartment houses are told that busses will be at 6 specified
