Those golf clubs you see in the
pro shop with sign on them, Buy
these for the USO' are destined to
make some men in uniform happy.
They're being raff1ed off at most of
the golf shops around town without
profit to the pro, and will be placed
by the United Service Organizations
in the hands of some soldier, sailor
or marine who wants to play golf
and hasn't any golf clubs If the
service man goes to the public links
he has to pay a charge for rental
clubs. but the USO wants to build
up pool of golf clubs. This is one
way to do it. And if you happen
to be lucky you'll win duplicate set
too. The scheme has its points, the
chief one, of course, being that the
boys in uniform will have golf clubs
with which to play.

WelI-Fimed Bombi Story Not Insulting
To w. S. Sportsmen, Despite Charges

Walt Disney,s Bambi, to be re-
leased here shortly, stirred up quite
a controversy in certain sections af-
ter being previewed by sportsmen's
organizations. Reviewers claimed it
was insulting to good craftsmanship.
What they could find in this ap-
pealing story by Felix Salten that is
so wonderfully interpreted by Dis
ney to take exception to is difficult
to understand 1t appeared to
be mighty fine entertainment, the
way we saw it. A fantasy? Yes
but certainly not an indictment, nor
even a "backhanded wallop' at
sportsmen as was claimed.
The original story was laid in the
Black Forest of Germany, but by
no stretch of Imagination could we
accept the animal characters as be-
ing so typical of our own woods and
fields that we would brand the al
most unseen hunters as American
sportsmen.
One Could Find Flaws.
Had we gone to view the picture
with the express idea of picking
flaws there was the owl that, acting
as master of ceremonies, was on the
most friendly terms with every other
forest creature, In real life his only
contact with other woods denizens
comes when he is out to kill. We
took him at his picture value anc
enjoyed, immensely his croakina
beneVolenCe.
The charges of those objecJing tC

deer in the spring and the use o.
savage dogs.
1t is true every State in the Uniol

is also true that many persons-ant

men-shoot them when they are 81
