That Gal from Kalamazoo" has
just been in town with her young
and pretty mother. Her mother
doesn't like the song.
A few weeks ago male upper
classmen of Kalamazoo College de-
cided TO choose the coed for whom
the swingy tune. given top billing
by the luke box set. might have
been written. To 19-year-old Sara
Wooley, sparkling brunei with
black olive eyes, went the vote.
Then things started humming at
the Ned Wooley home-or maybe
you'd say things started TO swing.
BECOMES GLAMOUR GIRL
Their school girl became a
glamour girl. Letters from boys all
over the country flooded the
Wooley mailbox. Booking agents
suggested public appearances.
The writer's of the song sent a
message to the new gal, asked her
to write and tell them something
about Kalamazoo.
They've never been there.
Sara is charmed about every
thing. She loves the song Gal
from Kalamazoo" She thinks
presenting mayors with punches of
celery is dreamy. (She gave a big
bunch to Mayor Jeffries). She likes
being a real piperoo from Kala-
maZoo, the sweetest and the neat
est gal in Kalamazoo. She can't
sing but she knows the lyrics.

No Barrier,
Couples Decide;
Marriages Jump
Opinions on Wisdom
Differ. but They Think
It's Worth the Gamble

Should Susie get married during
wartime?
It's an old question-but the
point Is that Susie is getting mar
ried, whether she should or not.
Clerks behind the marriage
license desk will tell you there's
about a 20 per cent increase in
the number of applications made
since Pearl Harbor.
What do they think OF war mar
riages?
WHAT THEY THINK
Each applicant has a different
answer. but they add up to some
thing like this:
Its gamble no matter
what, but we're hoping for q
lucky break"
Here are the answers Of some
OF those about 10 get married
who were asked what they thought
of wartime weddings.
Marion Walbridge, %. OF 1910
Griggs:
1.-THE fellow I'm marrying isn't

generally. For us, of course, /
think IL will work."
KEEP FINGERS CROSSED
Virginia Tyner. Is, of 1854
Dearborn. who ap-i
peared with William Dyer. 10, OF
1880 Woodingham. said:
wen be married November

81 think he's crazy. Maybe he'll
get shipped out right after he's

that? Me? I'm getting married
when I'm about IS and able to

So the sociologists and experts
might as well keep on theorizing.
The kids will keep on getting
married.
