Ever since war was declared, Mrs.
Briggs has seldom been seen in
public. Some have compared her
with that perennial hibernator,
Gretta Carlo. Others have simply
wondered. Now she is ready to tell
all.
Well, Mrs. Briggs, who in her
capacity as an actress is referred to
as Ginger Rogers, owns and operates
. 1,000-acre ranch at Eagle Point,
Greg. She raises herd Of Guernsey
cattle, pigs, chickens and other live
stock. Milk from the range supplies
1000 soldiers at nearby Camp White.
And she's busy evenings keeping
books for the ranch.
"It isn't that I don't like going
out" Ginger explained. "IGust have
so darned many things to do that
are more important. Don't put me
in the hermit class. Just toss me in
with several hundred thousand
working women whose husbands
have gone to war. That's the right
classification"
When Jack Briggs went off to war,
Ginger lived alone in her Cold-Wa-
ter Canyon mansion. And then Jack
wrote from the South Pacific and
asked her to come to the rescue of a

ARMSTRONG SET
 FOR TWO BOUTS IN FIVE NIGHTS
By JACK FROST

OhAASSN hNeo OSShA SVAhSURVhbANAhS
 Boston, March 20. (UP)-Seem- ingly immune to the ravages of ring and time, former triple champion Henry Armstrong of Los Angeles comes here this week to seek his second victory in five days and high light the New England boxing par- ade.
 Tonight the little perpetual mo- ton man" battles Frankie Wills in Washington, then travels north for his l0-round engagement at Boston Garden with Ralph (Ripper) zan- nelli of Providence, R. l., a heavy handed puncher who has been fight ing with success this year.
 Attendance at the fight may top 10000 with a gate of perhaps ESQ., 900; definite indication that boxing has hit the comecack trail, a $30,- 900 house would means that in 15 days just under $l00000 has been grossed in three fights here.
 Despite reports that Armstrong's eyes are in poor shape he apparent- ly has sufficient sight to toss straight and deadly punches and boasts of Q record of six straight knockouts since starting his second comeback.
 zannelli may be the toughest op- ponent he has tackled in his tour of the nation because the ProVi- dence puncher has Q surprising ability to absorb punishment. Never theless, Armstrong will be favored to win, possibly at odds as high as 3-to-l.
 For the rest of the week, shows will be slightly better than average but not outstanding.
 Probably tonights best fight will be the meeting in Holyoke between Jerry Fiorello of Brooklyn, N. r., and Freddy Wilson of New York city, q pair of l50-pounders who offer plenty of action. In another fight tonight at New Britain, Conn.,, Heavyweight Sam Maltempo of Manchester, Conn, seeks to regain his stride after losing close deci- sion at Boston last week by meet- Ing Al Stepney of New York.
 Welterweight George (Red) Doty of Hartford, Conn.,, will be in action at New Bedford, Mass, tomorrow with Oscar Suggs of Newport, R.
