So ended the longest Hollywood
interview that old George, dean of
movie gatemen, ever gave. He re-
turned Immediately to the strategy
of warfare, and there was no getting
him of the subject again.
KisSer-of- the-hour in Hollywood
is not Charles Boyer but Paul
Henreid, the Austrian, who is hand
ing out more kisses to Bette Davis
in Now Voyager" than she ever
had before in a single movie.
Set workers gather around to
study Henreid's romantic tactics
which, like Boyer's. are altogether
in the smouldering continental
manner.
Sometimes" remarked a Warner
script clerk, who has watched 'em
kiss and watched EN- go, Il think
the Boyer -Henreid school is better
and then sometimes I think little
tough tussle with Gable or Brent
would be more tasty"
Just then Henreid wound up and
went into another romantic huddle
with Bette.
"A lot like Boyer" reflected the
script girl. "And ought to be twice
as good. He's about twice as big"

 Spotters In Demand

 Loyalty to Task Recommended By Homer

1 have complained about the unfair ness of the sacrifices you have been asked to make so that you might do your duty as "spotters." You have compared your sacrifices and your donations of time, money, gas and tires to those of some people that exist in every community. These peo- pie do not participate in any phase of Civilian Defense activity and con- tinue to live their normal carefree lives without sacrificing anything to- wards the war effort. They do not or will not face facts and realize that this is their war, too.
 Personally, I do not like to com pare my own contributions and sac- rifices in behalf of the war effort to those of that kind of people. would rather compare my contributions and sacrifices to those made by the boys at Bataan, Corregidor, Australia, Iceland, Egypt, Ireland, France, Sol- omon Islands, and Alaska. At Bataan and Corregidor the boys were on duty twenty-four hours a day and many gave their lives. Those left alive are now living the unenviable life of a prisoner of war. The gave and sacrificed themselves to protect you and me while we, to protect our selves, give two to four or maybe six hours of our time week, together with probably a gallon of gas The boys in the other battle zones are prepared to give everything they have including their lives to protect you and me.
 In the Solomon Islands the Ma rines must have suffered terrible hardships and great losses in life in order to do their duty and start the JapS back to Tokyo. You and I may lose few hours of sleep and the gasoline we planned to burn up in visit to Cousin Millie.
 When I compare your lives and mine to that of the men in our armed forces become thankful that I am privileged to give and serve in the small way that I am doing. How about you? Compare your sacrifices to those of our best citizens and l believe you will all feel as I do.
 Tn order to protect our homes and our loved ones we must keep all the observation posts in the state of Connecticut open and on the alert 24 hours day no matter what per- sonal sacrifices we may be called upon to make. There can be no suc- cessful air defense, if you and I fail to do our duty
