Props Are a Problem.
Props are always the big worry. Peggy
Alexander, a combination singer. tan
dancer and comedienne, with youth and
beauty in the bargain, has a top act
that never fails. She sings "You Must
Have Been Beautiful Baby; then calls
the men up on the stage and adorns
them with baby bonnets which she
makes OF paper. This always brings
howls, especially when it's the command
Ing officer she lures to the footlights.
But there is shortage Of paper over
there, and Peggy had to take Is pounds
OF 1t with her from this country. That
cut her baggage to 30 pounds. So she
was able to take only three pairs of
dancing shoes, instead Of the 10 to 20
usually carried by tap dancers; two of
the four suits she wanted, and only a
couple OF dresses. But she squeezed in
an alarm clock, plenty of bobby pins to
1asten on those baby bonnets, and a
short fox cape for glamour.
Peggy can take it and they can take
her, so she is one Of those remaining in

OF the USO Camp Shows, the greatest
theatrical venture in history, now play
ing to over 1000 camps and bases in
this country. On nonprofit, nonroy-
atty scale, USO has turned this into the
biggest bargain ever financed by Ameri-
can contributions. Actors sign up in
three classes: Guest stars, accustomed to
$2,50O week. 60 for $40 day: less
well-to-do entertainers in the weekly
$500 to $1,000 class, who cannot afford
to donate their services, go for 500 a
week, and other desirables from lesser
salary brackets receive fair contracts.
Newsmen who have toured with them
abroad agree with the correspondent who
wrote: "The public never made sound

Only First.Class Talent.
USO Camp Shows knows and rounds
up the right people and has them ready.
The big difficulty is in finding those
who combine in themselves without the
aid of excess equipment, sufficient variety
Of appeal to be worth valuable trans
portation space. Elaborate props are
out; only small musical equipment al
lowed; the baggage question is all-im-
portant. All actors are transported by
the Army, under military supervision
from the moment they leave our shores
until they return. Any actor who goes
abroad is therefore considered more valu-
able to the war effort than his weight
in munitions or supplies. Therefore,
nothing but first-class talent for over
seas" is guiding principle of USO
Camp Shows.
The comedian, who can sing and dance,
is, of course, at premium. Martha Raye,

favorite last winter with the boys
throughout the British Isles and in
North Africa. Once during her six weeks
travels in Africa, Martha was blown out
of her bed during an air raid. Again, in
plane. she was fired on. Another night
all of her spare wardrobe except what
she was wearing was lost in an air raid.
Travel Hardships.
Martha went over as one of The
Feminine Theatrical Task Force" of USO.
The others were Kaye Francis, Carole
Lands and Mitzi Mayfair. Flu germs
and accidents laid these girls low at
various times; they travelled, of course,
with no personal maids or wardrobe mis-
tresses; did their own washing and IRON
ing in Africa, keeping their equipment
cosmetics, accessories, glamour duds-
down to the minimum allowed of SIS
pounds. In four months they covered
over $4,000 miles, never missing one of
the 125 shows booked in their schedule.
Mitzi had an impacted tooth opened
every day and danced every night in
Africa; Carole had an emergency appen-
dectomy. But they made $50 additional
appearances, never refusing an auto
graph. In the mess halls they perfected
grand system of eating in a row, fork

Schools Care for Children While Mothers Work at War Jobs
By Florence Kerr,
Director, War Public Services, Federal Works Agency

A brick schoolhouse in Alexandria
founded by George Washington is doing
its share in World War No. II.
The building, erected in 17S5, is being
used as a war nursery school in the Fed
eral Works Agency's program under the
Lanham Act to care for children of
mothers engaged in essential war work.
A plaque on this 1943 war nursery is
interesting. 1t reads:
ALEXANDRIA ACADEMY
Erected 1885, chartered by the General
Assembly OF Virginia 1886, 1Uith

John Fitzgerald Charles Lee

Gentlemen:
Here IN conjunction 1Dith the academy.
Washington established the first free
school in Northern Virginia to 1Uhich he
contributed during his life, 1Dhich he
endo1Ued at his death and 1Uhich became
the parent of the present free school
system OF Alexandria.
In this building ROBERT EDWARD
LEE received his primary education

Fourteenth in the bicentennial

What a glorious background for the
new history that is being written this
moment by the mothers of Alexandria
who are working in the Navys torpedo
plant and in other necessary war work
and, in fact, by the patriotic war
working mothers of all America.
The Washington School in Alexandria
Is one of five nurseries and child-care
centers recently put in operation
by the Alexandria Board of Education
with the assistance of Federal contribu-
tions from the Lanham Act. Others
are located in the George Mason School,
Mount Vernon School and jefferson
School for white children and at Roberts
Chapel for negro children.

company all applications is statement
with supporting data showing the war

from employers. Before funds are

cially from the United States ONCE Of

The total amount Of fees collected from

Nursery School Program.
The District of Columbia program is
expected to get into operation shortly.
Maj. Gen. Philip B. Fleming, Federal
works administrator, already has ap-
proved Federal contributions to defray
approximately half the operating costs
of 10 war-nursery schools and 10 child
care centers to care for approximately
300 children of working mothers-300
of pre-school age and 500 OF school age.
In addition, the administrator also has
approved for Washington two nurseries
and three child-car centers to care for
110 children in the Southeast section Of
the city. This latter project provides
for remodeling of some old dwellings on
D street and on North Carolina avenue
Sc
The nurseries and centers In tho
National Capital, as in other parts OF
the country, while receiving Federal
assistance through the Federal Works
Agency, will be operated locally. It
should be emphasized In this connec-
ton that the Federal Works Agency
does not operate child protection facili-
ties, nor is It's concern with them
permanent.
The Lanham Act under which such
facilities are aided expires by the acts
terms six months after the end OF the
emergency. Meanwhile, FWA provides
part Of the required funds. The opera
tion is the responsibility of the local
applicant which in the case Of WASH
ington was the Board OF District Com
missioners. The applicant in every in
stance sets the standards, provides the
housing, selects the personnel, super
vises and administers. The Federal
Works Agency is concerned only that the
Federal money is spent in accordance
with the contract between the applicant
and FWA.

INCREASE in QUOTA OPENS NAVY
RECRUITING TO l7-YEAR- old YOUTHS

An important announcement
from the Nays Recruiting Head
quarters lifted the lid off recruit
ing of l7-year-old youths in South
Florida and requested the officer
in charge to acquire 100 men in
the 17-year-old and 38 to so year
old groups during the week OF
April IL.
1t. M. c. Rhodes, Jr., stated that
now is the time for all men in
these age groups who have applied
recently but were unable to be en-
listed due to the restricted quotas
since December S, to visit the
nearest Navy recruiting office
while the enlarged quotas are
still in effect.
The recruiting officer said the
drastic increase in quotas for II
year-old youths was effected by
an urgent need for young men to
train now for duty aboard the
Naval vessels to be launched in
