takes"

gram.
Remember, you are as important
to your country as soldiers" the

be dismissed from the afraid war
den service.
Alexandria residents look up to
you as the protector of their family

nounced Yesterday final ALLEGATIONS
of s8,641 ,341 for the secondary road
system in 1942-43, but disclosed that
Is per cent of each county's fund
would be held in reserve because
of the uncertainty OF highway

"Curtailment of traffic due to
war conditions will very materially
reduce the Department of Hlghg
wavs' revenues for the coming year,
the announcement said. Therefore,
in order not to obligate more funds
than will be available, 25 per cent
of the ALLEGATIONS for each county
will be held in reserve until sucn
time as it will be determined def
nitely what funds will be available" f"
S35O,O00 Is Deducted.
Under an act of the 1912 General

cations was fixed at 80 per cent OF
the highway revenues. and on that
basis these roads will receive So

button is made, revolving fund OF
$3.50 900 is deducted for modernizing
bridges and adjusting county allo-
cations to an amount equal to the
1881 gas tax.
The revolving fund is allocated
to one fourth of the counties each
year. so that in a period OF four
years each county will have received
its share of this fund.

Miss Goddard is a movie queen
who can stand off-screen inspection,
the rare film star who turns out to
be what you hope she will be.
Can Remember Names.
This, for instance, is the kind of a
girl she is.
She could bring a newcomer into
that room crammed with Is other
persons, a number of whom she
herself had just met few minutes
before, and glibly introduce the new
conner around the circle.
Miss Goddard, who thinks about
other peoples names obviously, diff
fers from number of other movie
stars.
She even reads books. She knows
also what goes on outside the gossip
columns. She is happy to be told
that she can wear as much jewelry
as she wants because she always out
flashes the jewelry. She Is happy
to admit that she can't stand per-
fumes-prefers the clean fragrance
of even cheap soap to any foreign"
odors.
Miss Goddard does not talk much
of her work, which also sets her
apart from the run-of-the-studio
girls. She liked doing THE Great
Dictator" because the part was
written for herr and she does not
like the "heavies" she has had to
play.
Wants To Play Maria.
She would like to play Maria in
For Whom the Bell Tolls" but
doesn't think she has a chance.
She would like much more to play
Claudia" which would be depar-
ture, but David Selznick seems to
think it would be too much of a
departure
Miss Goddard, those who did not
get to stop for drink yesterday
afternoon might like to know. viii
be back in town next week. Mostly
she will be getting in some sight
seeing. then on Thursday night,
April 30. she will appear at the
Capitol Theater on the Hollywood
victory caravan for Army and Navy
