Noel Coward Scores
Hit With Tea Parties
For u. ). Soldiers
He's Regular Guy Say
Men Who Have Been
PIoywrieht's Guest
BY RUSSELL LANDSTROM,
IIriAa 1Nnrld

AS hC0CGAA AfAINDS NUM-,
Wide World.
LONDON, Sept. 19-NoeI Cow
ard, England's man of irony and
melody, has achieved one of the
biggest hits of his career with
American servicemen.
And the famed playwright and
composer has seldom been re-
! Warded with such attentive, admir-
ing listeners as the small groups of
United States soldiers, sailors and
airmen whom he entertains at his
home near Buckingham Palace ev-
cry Friday evening.
It's all highly informal and all a
lot of fun. Coward sheds the dev-
astating cynicism that character
ICES many of his plays and intro
duces his American guests to win
ming sort of fellowship.
Hes regular guy" as L. A.
Johnson, of Corpus Christi, Tex,
put it. He certainly makes us feel
at home"
INOtUluS nlSIlDTOW,
Johnson, warrant officer in the
RAF, has been serving some time
with the British but now he's after
a commission in the United States
Army Air Force. And he's hoping
to fly although, at %, Il may be too
old, but there's nothing like try
ing"
Enthusiasm for Cowards tea
parties-with maybe an occasional
cocktall-also was expressed by two
sailors, John Loomis. of Coldwater
Mich, and Oscar Olsen, of Wau-
toma, Wis. They summed up like
| this:
wouldn't have missed for anything
He talked to every one of us, asked
what we'd like him to do and
played and sang for us. Nothing
highbrow about any of it."
These three were among II
United States servicemen at g
party especially distinguished by the
presence of Screen Actor Davio
Niven and his wife, and Bebe Dan
iels and Ben Lyon, along with vir-
tually the whole cast of Coward's
"Blithe Spirit"
Takes Group to Theater.
The Americans included Johr
Brammer, Cincinnati; John Kelly
Great Neck, N. Y; H. Medkiff
Huntington, w. Va, and D. Garter
San Jose, Calf.
Prior to some of the earlier
parties, several of the servicemer
were inclined to snort at the tea
and-cake fare and asked won
there be any highballs?" One sol
dier said Il never thought I'd q
to a tea party but If it's going to bt
Noel CoWards, I'm willing to TAKE
chance"
You don't hear any questions
about stronger drinks now.
In addition to the parties, Cow
ard takes or sends numerous United
States boys to see "Blithe Spirit.
One night he squirrel bunch o
them on g backstage visit. He alst
helped United States troops t.
stage their own presentation OF hi
Private Lives"

Aircraft Carriers

The aircraft carrier has become one of the main pons of ofense upon the of the world and 1t is good to know that the United States is busy construct ing these important units of sea power.
 When the began this country had seven carriers, with eleven on the ways. Since December ' the pro- gram has been enlarged and the Japanese have lost three or four carriers with several others damagd. Even so the Japs have eight left having had thirteen when the war began.
 Under stress of actual warfare air officers are com- ing to the top, with important command of task forces in which air strength is predominant certain. These fas-moving squadrons will carry their winged artillery close to enemy bases and the fast-fyng planes will deliver the explosives.
 The use of carriers offensive arms of the fleet and to control of the air for surface units does not the end of the batteship This heavily-armored and powerful striking unit continues to be an import ant bone of modern fleets and far possible factor the nations have not rsked them in premature action
 It is interesting to understand that American naval officers have not accepted the idea that Japan be beaten only by steppingsone process of retaking Jap anese occupied lands The leaders of the United Ma tons fleets planning for grand smash at the battle fleets of Japan confident of winning the decisive en- gagement and thereafter Stranging the Japanese oen- sive power and homeland well.

Graycr Situation

The shortage of rubber is so grave that any citizen hoardn8 rubber or using it unnecessarily is commit ting an act of disloyalty
 Il IS now illegal to destroy any rubber article
 This IS both warning and an appeal to everyone in Canada and that includes every person in Prince George district On each of rests the responsibility of supplying the 50000,000 pounds of scrap rubber needed for OUR war effort Every old piece of rubber In Our Dominion, matter how small is needed-and needed immediately
 Our rubber shortage can be appreciated by realizing that the Japanese now control the source of Canadas crude rubber The only quickly available supply is old scrap rubber, which can be reclaimed
 It IS the personal duty of every citizen to that every last pound is started it's way through the usual salvage channels to the reclaim factories
 Ii you are in earnest about wanting to help Canada win the War-then gather up your old rubber and send 1t quickly to the Red Cross Salvage Depot here.
 If you are "Doubting Thomas" think this over:
 The rubber necessary for insulating, tubing con- duts, cables vibration dampers and so on in one bat teShp is equal to the amount of rubber required for the construction of 320OO sets of average automobile tires-Prince George Citizen.

Axis Grinding

From the looks of of the propaganda which the Axis nations have been throwing way in recent months it looks if they have little regard for the in tellgence of Americans One of the NaZi mouthpieces IS an announcer who broadcaSts to America under the name of Joe Scanon." Said this Joe in a broadcast
 Join us in endeavor to save our boys from for. eign battefeds You can compel the Government to act The elections are coming again and our people Will have last opportunity to assert themselves Or ganze as free Americans to fight the dictatorship be Ing set up in Washington. The only real enemies sit right within the ranks of our Government today"
 Thus, another Nazi propaganda weapon is noted That of participating in politics with the hope that Americans would be foolish enough to believe these foul mouhings of Nazi broadcasters and clean an a- ready fairly Wel-kept household in Washington D. C.
 Tokyo, too, has been broadcaSting what it calls an America First program and this Jap announcer says: Japan would be charming partner to any nation Which would understand Japans ideals correctly Jap- an would share with the United States its newly-won rubber and tin if the Americans would only get rid of hooSeVelt Of course at the same time the Jap In- perlal headquarters declared in an announcement to Jap youth that Japans goal must be the Ultimate destruction of Britain and the United States"
