q lovely natural blond who in the
past year or SO has been committed
to soft and languorous screen rolls.
What you possibly don't know is
that Carole Is privately recognized
as the best all-around athlete Of her

She shoots golf in the low 90s,
swims and dives often and expertly,
once bowled a league average of
172 and on a tennis or badminton
court can defeat almost any actress
in town.
Yesterday, however, came the
Lands capper. Much to the
amazement of a movie director, a
baseball club director, IS ex-big
league players and a gang of 1900
extras, it was revealed that the
slim, 1.-the Carole can play baseball
in mans style.
All this came to pass on the back
lot at goth Century-Fox Studio,
where the 1T Happened in Flat
bush" company had gathered around
an improvised patch of diamond
and a section of bleacher seats to
film a story about those Brooklyn
Dodgers.
While Director Ray McCarey con-
centrated on an intimate little scene
at home plate, Carole strayed out
in the nearby pasture where the
uniformed ex-professionals were
warming up with bats and gloves.
She wore high heels. a wide
brimmed hat and tight skirt, but
that didn't stop her.

Taking free, easy swings, Carole
crashed one ball after another to
the far reaches OF the lot. The
professionals were amazed. Actor
Bill Frawley strolled over and
blinked as he watched. Frawley, 4

and Rooney to Eugene Loring.
Loring, an actor-dancer, is never
going to have Hollywoods yardstick
of too long or too short applied to
him.
He is short and that's that. He
has, accordingly, carved himself a
private niche in the world and is
going to have whole career in 1t.
Loring, in case the name is vague
or altogether new, is the young man
who has formed the Dance Players.
Ever since he was a young man in
the tropical fish department of a
Milwaukee department store, he has
been unable to make up his mind
whether he wanted to be an actor
or a dancer. 1t kept him nicely
muddled. as thing like that we'll
muddled, for instance, through his
captivating performance in William
Saroyan's The Beautiful People"
all last season. That, of course, was
part of his impressiveness in the
role since a muddled person has
his greatest professional opportunity
In a Saroyan play in which normal
ity is not permitted even for con-
trast. Even the mice in The Beau
tiful People" were so muddled, you
may remember, wasting their time
spelling out a girls name in flowers
instead of being about their usual
business Of unbaiting traps.
However, to get back to Loring, it
was after that engagement he
decided to reject all offers and be-
come an actor-dancer. 1t was to
him the perfect medium of express
sion, the ideal combination of yearn-
ings in the soul of a young enter
tainer.
There was still the handicap of his
shortness. but that's where Loring
was smart. He could not dance with
other people, but, what the heck, he
could dance alone. That necessi-
tated creating his own material but
after you have been a student of
tropical fish, a telephone operator
cashier, dancer in Milwaukee, and
finally a character in Saroyan, be-
coming choreographer is nothing
at all At least not if you have a
special talent for it as he had had
through all those other jobs.
Today, as director-ch -choreographer-
soloist of the Dance Players, he is in
a fine position to laugh ironically
at any one who would throw him
back into the actors breadline on
the assumption he was too short.
Living intimately with Hollywood
publicity for years is never to get
over admiration for the lengths to

Your Opportunity

We know that there many persons in Greenbelt who
cannot give their personal services and time to actual Civil
ian Defense. Now happy to report opportunity
for participation by every resident in town. The coming
A-VIctory Rally gives chance to aid your neghbor
in his efforts Your dollar, whether you attend will
go long to make up the necessary $1,000 needed
properly equip volunteer workers.
Few of realize the needs of the defense worker and
therefore the request for dollars may surprise
However, example, those watchers the roof of
tn drug store must be there "a hours day. ran
sunshine They do not have the clothing boots
for this work We cannot ask them pay for these things
Your dollar will help equip them.
The air raid warden while protecting you must also be
protected and given the tools to work efficiently He needs
steel helmets, clothing lights ETC. Remember, when bombs
fall he is not in safe shelter with you; he in the
open watching your welfare.
The auxiliary policeman and fireman need equipment
Medical supplies must be purchased communications pro-
vided; gasoline and supplies for ambuances and other
emergency vehicles must be purchased. Money needed
and the only place it can be obtained is from you.
The Town Council has provided much money as
possible and it is hoped that the balance will be raised at
the rally You will not be buying ticket to just another
affair Your contribution will be investment in Green
belt yourself and your family.

IANSONIA, OTHER
TOWNS MIXED UP
They Waited for BIackOut
Signal, But 1t Never
Came on Time

Ansonia, Conn, March 2--(UP)--
Nine p. m.
More than 5000 air raid wardens,
flremen, ambulance workers, nurses
and other defense volunteers waited
tensely for the signal to go into ac-
ton.
They waited at Ansonia, Derby,
Shelton, Seymour, woodbridge and
oxford.
Nine p. m. came and passed, and
still there was no blackout signal.
In 81 towns neighboring these COM
munities, the sirens were whining
and the lights went out. But In this
area, a huge center Of blazing light
in the midst Of surrounding dark
ness, nothing happened.
Anxious telephone calls were made
to the New Haven control center.
Governor Robert A. Hurley was
called at Hartford.
The calls were put through, and
another wait began. Someone re-
called that the state defense coun-
Gil definitely said there would be q
blackout at 9 p. m. Sunday night.
But where were the signals to set
of the sirens?
Finally, the state defense council
called to say the blackout was of,
and gave no explanation. officials
held a hurried consultation, and de-
cided to hold a blackout anyway.
It was held-an hour late.

WAR HITS AT
SOFT DRINKS

Miss May v. Murnane, writing In
the Crosby high school Argus, says
tn eschool cafeteria is affected by
the priorities, the war and boarding
and that only 40 per cent Of the
popular beverages have been obtain
able in the past two months. Miss
Murnane who is dietitian for the
school, states in the paper that in
stead Of receiving 200 bottles Of
one beverage as before the war, the
cafeteria is now allotted 80 bottles.
On the sugar shortage, Miss Muir
name points out that the school res
taurant formerly used 100 pounds a
week but during the past month only
so pounds have been allotted the
cafeteria. Other items on the menu
to feel the pinch, Miss Murnane con-
tinues, are desserts. Milk deliveries
are being made, Miss Murrane
states, and the restaurant receives
500 bottles of chocolate milk and
100 bottles of plain milk a day.
