KNOW YOUR ALLY
FILM SHOWN HERE

"Know Your Ally, Britain" was
the name of an official picture
shown to members of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce in regu'
lar weekly meeting of the group
last night in the banquet hall OF
the Friendly Restaurant. The pic
ture was presented through the
courtesy of the Public Relations Of
flee at Camp Davis.
The film was dominated with
the idea that Great Britain and
the United States are different, but
they are Enthusiastically fighting for
the same ways Of life. Scenes
showed how little the Americans
know and understand the English
people.
Feature of the film was the his
tory Of Britain's entry into the
war and her relations with the
United States and other countries
the teamwork of the great leag-
ue allies.
According to the picture it was
one full year before the Lion Of
Britain began to awaken and slash
back with timely victories. The
United Kingdom existed for one
year as the only major power
fighting the greatest military ma.
chine in the world, before the
bells rang a song of victory and
thanksgiving for England's batter
ed towers. On the ground, in the
air and on the seas, Britain began
to fight back with everything she
had.
