Efforts will be made to make

not a signatory to the Geneva
convention, there is no assurance

This was accomplished through

turkeys until the Quar-~Smastcr

slaughter will reach 480 million

LONDON - W.P - American
Wacs, fascinated by the idea OF
an English husband but unable
20 break through the famous
shyness of British men, have
turned in desperation TO Lon
don's Lonely Hearts" clubs.
They'd like TO meet and marry
English boys - who, strangely,
have complained loudly and
lengthily at being unable to COM
pete with CT Joes for the atten-
ton of English girls.

the same every time" said the
proprietress of one marriage
bureau" They say, we want to
meet nice Englishmen, but we
can't. They don't speak to US.
They'de too shy!'"

LegIess Youth
Teaches Vets
to Walk Again
BRIGHAM CITY, Utah-U.

BRIGHAM CITY, Utah-(UP
Joe NJ. Miller, Jr., never did
get into the ALPHABETICALLY.
That has been his one ambi-
ton since he watched his Butte,
Mont, high school pals join up,
one by one. Joe tried every
thing-Army recruiting stations,
application for limited service,
an appeal TO his draft board, and
then the Navy and the Marines.
But no one could see IL Joe S
way because Joe had lost both
his legs under a train seven
years ago when he was II.
So Joe wrote the President.
Certainly he could do something,
He had learned TO use his arti-
fetal legs so expertly that
friends could scarcely notice the
difference.
Six months ago Joe was sum-
moned to the Bushnell General
Hospital here and assigned the
job of teaching legless soldiers
how to walk again. His job
doesn't end there. He also teach
es the men how to enjoy life
again.
In six months he has won an
important place in the great
Army hospital. He works as an
orthopedic mechanic in the
brace shop. He conducts classes
in walking, driving. In the
evenings he goes swimming, rid
ing, horseback and along to
town with the boys, keeping a
watchful eye on them, or plays
the piano for them at his home
or gives individual driving les
sons in his own car.
Joe has taught wounded sol
diers arriving here from over
seas that there is still much TO
live for. He has proved to
them that a man without legs
can do practically anything
other men can do.

American WACS Puzzled
by EnaIishmen's Shyness

$50 we've had TO refuse every
one of the hundreds of girls in
the American forces that have
come here and asked TO be put in
touch with British men,"
In an informal count taken by
United Press reporters in Lon
don clubs, theaters and restau-
rants during one evening, 43
Wacs were observed unescorted
while eight others had escorts.
None of the eight escorted girls
was with an English soldier or
civilian.
Londoners' reactions TO news
of dearth of Englishmen's inter-
est in Wacs varied: -~
British male civilian: There
always have been more women
than men here and the number
of men free of the clutches Of
local girls is probably quite in
significant. Seems TO be simply
a question Of numbers TO me"
English soldier: There's no
denying your American girls
are nicely groomed for the
most part. But l personally can't
stand their voices. Much too
highly pitched and nasal"
SHYS FROM UNIFORM
Another British civilian: I'D
feel a little strange escorting a
girl in uniform - British or
American. Wouldn't your"
Another British soldier: II
suppose I'm being frightfully in
sular, but I'm quite content with
our British girls. Another thing,
a ly-traveled woman-one
who has been around as you
say - would probably brighten
off anyone who had never been
overseas or anything. To have a
woman tell you Of her exciting
experiences in foreign lands
rather reverSes the usual thing,
doesn't it,"
English girls took more prac-
tical viewpoint
A stenographer: Most Brit
ish men are in the Forces and
simply can't afford to take girls
American or British, for that
matter-out on what they earn.
And your Wacs are quite highly
paid, l believe. 1t would never do
for an Englishman to court a
girl of better means than his
own" "a Wac Corporal earns,
with overseas pay, nearly the
same as a British lieutenant
"A woman journalist: The
Wacs are probably interested in
English boys because of the nov
city of the idea. They figure like
the American CHS, that they're
going to be surrounded by
for the rest of their
lives, so they might as we'll
spend their time over here with
English boys and find out what
they're like. Just why they
haven't been successful, I'm at
a loss to say. They certainly
seem to be attractive enough"

Ft. Smelling, Minn.-Five days before his induction into the Army here, Albert Nelson, 37, of Duluth. arrived in nearby Minneapolis for one last good time. He checked in at a Minneapolis hotel, left his suitcase and his money in the room and went out for a walk.
 Later he discovered to his dis may that he didn't know the name of his hotel. It wasn't until five days later that he was strengthened out-by hotel clerk who informed police headquarters that a guest named Nelson was missing.
 Nelson got his suitcase and money back just as he was march ing off to enter the Army.
