THIS WAS LIDICE

The little town of Lidice,
Czechoslovakia, was about to
celebrate its 600th anniversary
when the relentless mailed fist
of the Nazi war machine punch
ed its way into that helpless
town and perpetrated crime
that Will forever live as one Of
the most dastardly in history.
Gustav Holm recreates that
town in his novel, This was
Lidlce p putnam: S2.75). He re-
tells the tale of how, before the
brave Czechs could d q
themselves, they were sold out
at the Munich Conference -
how occupation by the Nazis and
murder of Reinhard Heydrich
resulted IN reign Of terror
that resulted in the death of
nearly the entire populace.

T.at's not tipping the au-

by representing Pauline as

The manager, veteran show

nouncer outdoing himself in the
matter of atrocious puns and
corny, rhyming descriptive adj

Then came the newsreel. The
anecdote that rocked the Repub-

heels was the smash climax,
coming after some scenes in

No, Mrs. Roosevelt wasn't rat

Civilian War Job
Group Sorts and Mails
Hospitality Committees
Bulletin Twice q Month

-Four women have undertaken one
of the dullest jobs in civilian war
work simply because the job had
to be done by some one" They
didn't think their work deserved
publicity. and they had never had
their names in the paper before in
connection with war work. Three
present yesterday were:
Mrs. Lloyd Baird, 80S Fifth street
NE.
Mrs. j. Wesley Burton, 1858 On
tario road NV.
Mrs, Darrell Smith, 3745 Oliver
street NV.
These three women, and another
"who usually comes down" spend
five heurs a day every two weeks
sorting and mailing $4,000 copies of
the bulletin released by the War
Hospitality Committee of Recrea-
ton Services, Inc. None of them
has missed more than one session
since they started the work.
Both Vital and Dull.
',This work is as vital as it is
dull" a committee spokesman said
I'VE know it and they know it, but
they are determined to do it any
how. AS long as there are women
like these working in civilian war
activities, how can we loSe?"
Mrs. Baird is the mother of three
sons in service. She works at the
center every day doing the less
glamorous secretarial chores.
Mrs. Smith, who is head of the
group, has one son in the Navy and
another who has passed his physical
examination and is awaiting his call
to service. She, like the others, is
a registered worker of the Office of
Civilian Defense
Mrs. Burton is the youngest of
the group. Her biggest thrill since
the war started seems to have been
the invitations she received to en-
tertain soldiers at service center
dances They had me confused
with a, Miss Burton. 1t was quite
thrilling while it lasted"
The missing member of the
quartet, the one who usually comes
down" is Miss Olive S, Taylor of
3426 Sixteenth street NV.
The bulletins are mailed twice
month to Army camps, service CEN
ters and Government employe coun-
selors They inform all concerned
of the facilities and planned en-
tertainments for men in service and
war workers. The next bulletin
will go out May u when the group

BY ERSKINE JOHNSON

Listening to singers on the screen,
| in night clubs and on the radio, has
often left us wondering what they
think about when they sing Other
day we met Martha MearS, a very
fine ballard singer, who recently
signed a film contract after doubl-
! ing for the singing voices of about
every feminine star in Hollywood.
We asked Martha what singers
think about while singing, and she
had some good ideas.
Then we talked to some other
singers we know who had some
ideas. So today we give you John
sons Private Research Into What
Singers Think About When They
Sing
If she were Scat" singer she'd
be singing, Pistol Packin' Mama"
and thinking:
Gee. that sailor out there is sure
cute. I'm awfully glad 1 had my
hair waved this morning. Gee, 1
think Betty was right when she said
looked best in pink - besides
sailors see SO much blue Coop
that felt like run in my stockings
the $3.50 ones, too. Oh, we'll
Yeah, bet he asks me for a date.
He has kind of jitterbug look
about him. That last boy, from
those mountains, only knew square
dances. Gee, am l tired"
If she were a burlesque queen
she'd be singing. How Would You
Like to Love Me-" and she'd be
thinking:
"A ranch-that's what I'll have
in a few years-a ranch. I'll have
about SO cows and lots OF chickens
and a couple of dogs And I'll sit
around in big, long housecoatS all
day-and never take 'em off. And
so help me, I'll never, never smile
/ at anyone with bald head again. -
ADD THOUGHTS
If she were film star she'd be
singing a new song and shed be
thinking:
Il wonder if that camera is in the
right place. I'll be they're wrecking
my profile. Why did / let them
talk me into singing This song any
way. It'll probably never make the
Hit Parade. I'm gonna get a new
agent--thats all l need. He'll get
me some good songs, And a good
