analyze our scrap collections.
Detroit's initial collection of tin
cans was the largest of any city in
the country.
Detroit,S 3"Buy-A-Tank" cam
paign was also the largest indi-
vidual scrap collection TO date.
Baltimore, with $500 tons, was
until last week first in the nation.
Today, / am informed, our Buy
A-Tank" campaign is to be used
as a pattern for the rest OF the
country. / ask you-"are we, as
a committee, so lousy?"
EXPENSES REVIEWED
So much for our work.
Let's review the expense in
VOWED by the DPW.
At no time, prior to yesterday,
did the question of reimbursing,
however, that if the DPW were
found to operate on Sunday, that
we would reimburse the city &C.
cordingly. I, myself, didn't feel
that it would be necessary to use
any trucks on Sunday. and if any
were to be used. thought it might
be a few miscellaneous trucks
picking up material which had
been missed.
I have no quarrel with the DPW
paying the DPW workers double
time for Sunday. because obviously
that was the agreement which had
been reached by the DPW with
the workers.
The fact that publicity has beer
given TO this overtime matter is
most unfortunate and embarrass.
ing to the committee, because We
did have some 404 voluntar,
trucks in operation on Saturday
in addition to 200 volunteer
workers. These men received moth.
ing. not even a lunch, for their eff,
forts. In our own particular case
we had some 80 odd trucks in the
Saturday collection with three
men on a truck. These men art
not grousing today, but are rather
confused by the attitude taken BY
the mayor of their city.

Sammy Kaye
Brings Band
To Michigan
by CHARLES GENTRY

BRIGHT AS brass Is the new
band which Sammy Kaye brings
to the Michigan Thester stage this
week and we're not kidding about
that brass either because almost
every member of the band doubles
in il.
This is quite in keeping with the
times since, with the vogue for
patriotic tunes. an orchestra needs
q lot OF brass to make these num-
bers effective.
You can't play Praise the Lord
and Pass the Ammunition" In a
particularly military fashion on a
|celestina and an old lutte.
But Sammy's organization Is not
just loud and martial. II is one of
the most versatile bands we've
heard in a long time. Eight of the
boys can play horns, six of them
also tackle clarinets. most Of them
can play saxophones. there's a
goodly assortment of vocalists,
several comedians and we wouldn't
be surprised II there was even a
plumber In the lot-you know, a
pipe player. Ouch!
TOP FLIGHT BAND
Seriously Sammy has a top
flight band and one well suited to
stage presentation. Among his
most effective numbers Is a clever
arrangement OF "Stardust" to
which the Steiner Sisters, two
blond beauties dance. while the
most in the orchestra manipulate
Illuminated red, white and blue
stars.
His instrumental arrangements
include such tunes as I've Got
Spurs that Jingle. Jangle, Jingle"
in one OF the few settings which
don't spur us on TO slaughter. two
OF the hit tunes from his new film
musical. Iceland" these being the
patriotic Let's Give New Glory
TO Old Glory" with the octet and
Another You" featuring Nancy
Norman.
HIS FIRST GIRL
Miss Norman is the first girl
vocalist Kaye has ever had with
him and while this 17-year-old
cutie has q smooth voice with
somewhat of range, her tech
nique is too immature and her
phrasing leaves a lot TO be desired
Tommy Ryan we liked. He does
ballads, like MY Devotion" and
Others OF the hit parade Tx, with
real feeling and pleasant voice. He
also enunciates clearly which is a
great renef from the throaty who
try TO keep the lyrics a secret

lyrics shouldn't be kept a secret) :.
A GREAT GUY

incest guys in the whole band BUSH

and generally wins applause for
having such a modest and amen
able personality.
He does4t con" the public. try
to impressive fans or even repri-
mand the jitterbuRs. He has a.
show he believes in and that's all,
brother. Take it or leave il, be-
cause plenty OF people are going
to take il and really like il.
On the screen you will find the
latest of the Dashiell Hammett
mysteries confronting you, an ex-
citing affair called, for some
reason or other, The Glass Key"
A murder-mystery with a poiiti-
cal background this. picture has

AT 10l per cent of capacity There
was no particular change in the
rate Of incoming orders in De-

November. but in the final weeks
of January there was a squirt in
new business. This was probably
due 10 the reduction in the-haek-
