In passing along the following sug-
gestions to Sallyann and all other
girls who face this problem:
Whenever possible, it's good idea
to avoid bringing commissioned
officers and enlisted men or non
CONS into social contact with each
other. In following this policy,
you'll be sparing both groups pos
sible embarrassment.
The inevitable distinction between
officers and enlisted men which Is
found in all armies, and which Is
essential to maintaining proper dis
cipline, makes them ill-at-ease and
uncomfortable when they are to-
gether on q social basis. Even II
Pat Private Is q blueblood in civil
ian life, while Sammy Shavetail
comes from the great common
people, 1t still makes no difference.
The barrier of their military rank
Is Is real as ever.
Although officers and their men
are often on friendly. cordial terms
In their professional relationship
they've learned that mixing together
socially simply doesn't work. The
boys in the barracks know this as
well as the men In the officers
quarters, and they are apt to feel
only contempt for the misguided
lieutenant who crosses the line into
their territory.
That being the case, you can easily
see that 1t would be tactless to stage
. double date with a private and
an ofilcer unless they'd been bosom
buddies in the past. In that event
and II the date were q parlor affair
they'd undoubtedly forget rank and
60 back to their old basis for the
evening. But II they were out in
public, and particularly In the sight
of other military men, they couldn't
very well do that. Results stiff
strained relationship and q ruined
evening.
Casual contacts at dance or a
party should cause no embarrass-
ment, because they need not be long
continued. Nor should q girl hesi-
tate to introduce an enlisted man
and an ofi1cer TO each other, pro-
vided the ensuing conversation is
kept short and sweet. The chief
point to remember in this situation
Is that the man Of lower rank ID

likes soft. slightly sloping shoulders
In suits. Well-tailored clothes Of less

way, for this designer believes In
giving such fabrics the same excel

Maxwell has q great desire to work
With fabric technicians In the crea-

that rough, warm-looking cloths

 MRS. MNTVER'
Heart.Warming Story of Average English Woman
 Opens This Afternoon

Jan Struther's best-seller Mrs
 Miniver," heart-warming story oI
 an average English woman, hal
 been brought to the screen as 6 timely and significant motion pic. ture, dealing as 1t does with thC
 heroic courage of the British middle classes on the home front during the present war. It opens today al the LOew Poli theater for a i've day engagement.
 The story, simply, honestly and graphically told as 1t might be in dispatch from a bombed English village, is woven around the Min- ivers and their family. Greer Gar son as Mrs. Miniver and Walter Pidgeon as her husband, Clem, are. starred in the Metro Goldwyn- Mayer picture. The film happily re- unites them as the public demanded after their outstanding perform ances in "Blososms in the Dust"
 Principal locales of the picture are London shortly before the war and nearby village on the Thames, where the Minivers live in solid middle class fashion with their three children. While the picture has several spectacular wartime se- quences, the rescue at Dunkirk and the bombing of the vilalge, empha- sis is placed on the reactions of these everyday people going through the horrors of war in their own homes, rather than the tragic events themselves. The Dunkirk se- quence, for example, shows the non- combatant British men of the vil- lage' collecting their fleet of tiny boats to rescue trapped fathers, sons and brothers across the turbu- lent and dangerous channel.
 Teresa Wright, bright Hollywood newcomer from the New York stage success, Life with Father" and who recently scored in the Little Foxes," plays Carol Beldon, grand daughter of the vilalge aristocrat. She is romantically teamed with Richard Ney, also from Life with Father, who has the role of Win Miniver, son of the Minivers and an RAF pilot. Lady Beldon, benev- olent ruler of the village, who looks down her nose at the middle classes, is portrayed by Dame May Whitty, noted English character actress. In other leading roles are Henry Trav- CTS as the station master and Henry Wilcoxon as the village vicar.
 Mrs. Miniver" is positively 8 pie ture that belongs on your must see" list of attractions. Don't miss 1t, for 1t far surpasses anything to come out of Hollywood so far this season.

It's Waterbury's first great western jubilee with two outstanding first run western films. Heading this gala program is Gene Autry in "Stardust on the Sage", with Smiley Brunette, Bill Henry, Edith Fellows, Louise Currie and George Ernest in the action-packed cast. This latest Autry musical western presents Geen as chief buyer for a national packing concern who scents trouble when he learns that his r:ailch owning friends are investing all their spare money in a hydrau- lie mining venture instead of in cattle. The mining venture is being promoted by young Jeff Drew, local agent of the packing company, and his two attractive sisters, Nancy and Judy, lend support through the radio station they own and operate. Gene quickly learns that young Drew is up to his neck in the ven- ture, with his sisters being auto- matically implicated. Jeff has been using the cattlemen's funds to keep the mine running, relying on the undeniable fundamental soundness of the mine to keep him out of trouble, however, he failed to reck- on with the dishonesty of the fore man, who wants to gain sole rights to the mine. In traditional style, Gene saves the day for the Drew family and see sto it that the ranch CTS get just return for their in- vestment.
