 Citizens of these towns and oth- CTS will have a chance to see and hear one of the most entertaining quiz shows on the air as well as to thank the fighting Tanks with a bond. Known as master of adlib and ready retort, Bob Hawk keeps the combination query feature and funfeSt moving at a quick pace. Contestants from the bond-buying audience will feel right at home in their own home town as the quiz- master sets them at ease with a genial witticism. In this regard, Lynn Gardner, the shows pretty songstress. will be helpful, too.

The queries start flying just after Bob asks the uuiz- gees how many cigarettes they want to win for some selected fighting man. That may stack up to one, two or three thousand smokes, de- pending on how hard the question is.

 The questions themselves range from spelling sticklers to etiquette teasers. There are even such queries as what to do when a girl friend re- fuses to neck at the movies. Should a contestant miss out on any of the stumpers, the smokes go to an Army or Navy hospital anyway.
 All this amounts to Q double bar relied barrage against Hitler and Tojo. For the quiz show which sends smokes to our fighting men Is going to sell bonds to help smoke out the enemy.
