side. If an enemy tank dashes up on your
flank and YOU don't see him, he'll shell you
into chunks. So narrow-visioned driver IS
asking for disaster.
Next, you're handed some strings and told
to pull them until you bring two objects at
the other end of the room alongside each
other. This tests your judgment OF distance
In maneuvering with a tank platoon at high
sDeed you've got to Judge distance or smash
up.
The most important test is for balance.
You sit astride two-nch pipe shut your
ewes and try to stay upright. If you've ever
been tossed around in a high speed tank tear
ing across rough ground. you'll see why they
have that test For, if your sense OF balance
isn't Al, you will lose control of tank, and
be upside down before you know It.
Another test is for reaexes. man holds
a small chunk of wood against the wall You
hold a pointed stick. Without warning he
drops the chunk and you have to spear it
AGAINST the wall and keep it from falling to
the floor The distance the wood drops is the
time you've taken to get into action to stop
it. Most of the drivers know - including
myself - can stop it at one inch.
Why are reAexes important? WE'LL driver
is directed by the tank commander who
stands in the turret and kicks on the drivers
back for orders A kick on the left or right
shoulder means to turn the tank; series OF
taps in the small of the back increases speed;
steady pressure in the same place orders
slower speed. In battle, the speed of your re-
sponse to those foot signals can mean life or
death.
Whaxe AIaxtnass Counts
If YOU pass those tests you're ready for
training, of which driving tank is only
part For instance, you have to know every
part of tank and what it does. A novice
can burn up a tank motor mighty quick.
So the rookie must keep his eye on the instru-
ment that counts the engine revolutions, and
make sure the engine isn't going too fast.
He must watch the temperature gauge, the
voltage gauge, ol-pressure gauge. He must
know how to read his compass, for at night
he's flying blind"
When he knows these instruments and how
to make light repairs on anything they lndl-
cate to be wrong, he takes the maintenance
test. And don't care if the recruit is expert
at the controls, if he can't pass this test IS
per cent or better, he won't qualify as a
driver Tanks are deadly offensive weapons;
they scout and roam far from their bases,
even inside enemy-held territory. If some
minor break occurs, and the driver can't
repair it, either the enemy gets a nice
new tank, or the driver touches a match
to the gasoline and destroys it. In either
case Uncle Sam has lost a tank worth
thousands of dollars.
Most of the tank drivers know, again in
cluding myself, average better than 95 per
cent on this test.
Nobody ever thinks of a tank driver as
marksman, but if he can't make expert
with AS automatic pistol, tommy gun,
machine gun, and 37-millimeter cannon, he'll
wind up driving truck. Which brings up

Dripping Collections Aid

The question may come TO
your mind Why are these
small amounts so important?
The 200, 900 600 pounds of fats
and oils which formerly came
from the Dutch East Indies and
the Philippines have been shut
off. Therefore, every little bit
that we can save counts.
The drippings 10 be sold must
contain no water, potatoes or
sediment in other words,
have them absolutely clear. No
odor should be present.
Why not collect them In one
OF the cans in which you have
purchased shortening and
do keep the drippings in a cold
place or, better yet, in the re-
frigerator
To Clarity
Here Is the method TO use in

Save your fats,
Fry the Jdps.

THIS is the motto which
Henry Schultz suggests 10 De-
troit Homemakers interested in
another project for national de-
tense.
Mr.. Schultz Is a director in
this area for the Association of
American Producers of Domestic
Inedible Fats. This organization
is working in cooperation with
the government TO conserve
fats. These can be used in the
making of soap. Glycerine is a
by-product and it's used in
making explosives, which are
important for national defense.
In Chicago the collection of
drippings has been through
grocers and tchers. Mr..
Schultz believes a similar sys-
tenn will be worked out here.
Therefore, homemakers should
start today saving the fats and
drippings that accumulate in the
kitchen. Then when a collection
system has been worked out
here, each will have some fat TO
sell

STRAND

The Strand theater opened today with a holdover of Panama Hat tie," that highly diversified musical, co-starring Red Skelton and Ann Sothern, the film is fast moving with an excellent story, an exhilirating comedy routine, elaborate produc- tion numbers and tunes you'll whistle for a long time to come. As Panama Hattie, night club en- tertainer with 8 heart of gold, Miss Sothern has one of the finest roles of her career. In love with sol- dier Dan Daley, Jr., the scenes in which she meets his daughter, Jackie Horner, and overcomes the child's dislike of her, are especially appealing. Red Skelton continues his amazing stride in the cinema heavens. Here he is one of the sail- ors who have sworn to protect Hat tie from one and all. The others are Rags Ragland and Ben Blue, as funny 8 combination of comedians as ever came out of Hollywood. An- other treat is the singing of Vir- ginia O,Brien who drops her dead pan technique for the first time.
 Something you just can't miss is Miss Annie Roone," the second de- ughtful hit on the same program. Starring Shirley Temple, the story of this new film is as up-to-date as the rubber shortage, as lively as a bunch of young jitterbugs and as appealing as a young girls first TO- nance. In fact all these elements go in making the story of Miss Annie Rooney" who was raised on the wrong side of the tracks but wins everyone on both sides with warm loveliness and infectious gay- ety. The strong supporting cast in- cludes William Gargan, Guy Kibbee, Dickie Moore, Peggy Ran, Roland DuPree, Gloria Holden and Jona- than Hale.
 Everything is in readiness for Strands second giant amateur con- test which will be presented this Friday night at 8:30. Thus far, the program includes singers, dancers, comedians and instrumentalists. The contest is open to everyone. Those desiring to enter may do so by reg istering with the manager of the Strand Theater. Winners receive cash awards.

STATE

A motion picture whose greatness is apparent long before "the end'' is reluctantly reached, the impressive ly exciting new George Stevens pro- duction '@The Talk of the Town" began its engagement at Warmers State theater this afternoon, at regular prices.
 With Cary Grant, Jean Arthur and Ronald Colman starred in roles of rich, memorable magnitude, the new film is 8 triumphant example of superb picture-making at its best.
 It is unusual, in motion pictures, for three such stars as Grant, Miss Arthur and Colman to appear in a film which does not, in some meas ure, permit the overshadowing of one, or two. But the evenly bal- anced performances, the thoughtful blending and clash of personalities is splendid tribute to Stevens work as a director, and to the masterful script penned by Irwin Shaw and Sidney Buchanan.
 "The Talk of the Town" intro- duced 8 different Cary Grant than the one known to us, greater Gary Grant. His is role filled with hu- nor and with resolution, one calling for the utmost in dramatic pur- pose. As the most lovable guy ever wanted for murder, Grant moves through whirlwind excitement with delft assurance.
 Colman, similarly, brings to the screen a character not soon to be forgotten, that of a bearded, digni- fled student of jurisprudence, man devoted to the letter of the law. Miss Arthur's performance, like those of her co-stars, is equally outstanding 8 performance both ingratiating and feminine, heroic in its dramatic scenes and, soft and winsome in the gentler moments.
 Valuable to the complete effect of "The Talk of the Town" are such lesser players as Edgar Blu chanan, Glenda Farrell and Tom Tyler.
 Blonde for Victory, another in the hilarious Blondie series, is the second big hit of the program and features Penny Singleton, Arthur Lake and Larry Simms.
 Tomorrow evening from 8:30 to o'clock, Dave Elman, Hobby Lobby's" famous personality, will again appear in person on the stage of the State theater conducting an- other of his famous Victory Auc- tions''. Last weeks auction brought better than $23,000 in War Bonds and, according to reports, thi: weeks will be bigger and better.
 Various merchants of the city are lending their wholehearted support to the auctions, donating articles of worthwhile merchandise which are placed on the auction block and auctioned of to the highest wal bond bidders. It's a full half-houl of fun, laughs and surprises, so plar to be in the audience tomorrow eve- ming when Dave Elman presents the third in series of four victory auc- tions from the stage at the State theater.
