New Dance Studio Opens

Betty Martina whose dance
studio opened this week at 1886
Mass. ave, wrote the hit song,
I'm the One" which has been
recorded by the Five Red Caps
on Beacon records. 1T is No. 4 on
the Boston juke boxes and Is
fast becoming a countrywide
rave.
Miss Martina, a native of
Spanish Morocco specializes in
South American dances as we'll
as the familiar dances of the
United States. She was educated
both here and in Latin Ameri-
can schools.
Through her studio she seeks
to discover talent of a high cal
iber. Miss Martina will write and
produce her own plays. Coming
here from New York where also
she taught dancing. she is in
touch with leading New York
producers who assure her that
any talent trained by her will be
given stage employment.
One of her special pupils is
lovely Chirlaine Dupree, In
whom Miss Martina sees unus-
ual natural talent that only
needs systematic development
to rank high among stage ar
lists.
Miss Martina's real name is
"Biera Evelina Gonzales Mar
tina but she says that's too
long for American use and she
sails herself simply Betty Mar
tina. Vivacious and of a charm
ing personality, Miss Martina
will undoubtedly win friends for
her dancing school enterprise

to use a pressure cooker for can

the only safe way to avoid rare but

may be on any non-acid vegetables

Observations

Rev Walter G Wynn of Prov
idence, preached another in
structive and inspiring sermon
at st Marks church, last Sun
day and we predict for him
great success in the new work
to which he has been called.
Mr. Rufus Brent was the. eff
cient soloist at st Mark last
Sunday and he had never
sounded better with that rich,
resonant baritone.
The passing of Harry Hicks
leaves another gap in the
ranks of musicians. Before his
health failed he was active in
the profession Of his choice,
and was rated among the top
ranking performers, conduc-
tors, arrangers and composers.
At the regular monthly
meeting of Coleridge-Taylor
Musical AsSo last Sunday, 1t
appeared that Everton John
son was the only scheduled
performer for the day. Mrs
May Persip, chairman of the
program committee, had given
the program to another men,
Der and it seemed that there
was some misunderstanding
Was Mrs Persip dismayed? She
was not. She immediately
drafted a program from among
those present to reinforce the
beautiful songs and convinc-
ing readings of Mr. Johnson.
Fred Henderson. who never
refuses, sang tenor solo;
Joseph Stewart tried himself
on the piano; and John Pow
ell gave an eXtemporaneous
speech which was worthy of q
much larger audience. Gladys
Perdue accompanied Mr. john

complimentary remarks.

from the United States to an over

Force supply officer in England. He
opened the box and wondered
whether a gang of American train
robbers were about to start oper-
ating In England-or whether the
Navy had lot of executions
planned in the near future.
Just What Was Needed.
But then it was suggested to him
that this might be just what the
Air Force needed. Complete pro-
lection of the faces of gunners had
proved difficult problem. At high
attitudes it was necessary to wear
the oxygen mask, which often was
. not a good fit. This Navy hood
would fit over it perfectly and could
be arranged to fit tightly around
the shoulders.
Some notifications were neces-
sary, especially mouth outlet for
the oxygen tube. From the start
the mask made a considerable re-
duction in frost-bite cases and
these have further been cut down
by providing waist windows in the
plane to protect the waist gunnerS.

Accounts of the decorations to the

Capt. Wright, 43, native of
Knoxville, Tenn, was a commander
when he performed the services for
which he was decorated. He was
cited for meritorious service as COM
mander of landing craft f1otilla
during the amphibious invasion of
Sicily in July, 1943.
He developed an inexperienced
group of officers and men into a
well-trained fighting force, it was
said, and in July gallantly directed

Recalls Storm at Sea.
Pressed to tell about his personal
experiences he recalled riding out
a storm for four days in the Tasman
Sea in former liner without ballast
drifting with the engines off.
They stopped the engines because
every time she pitched the screws
would come above water. The off,
GERS were afraid she would break
a shaft SO we put out sea anchor
and rode it out for four days. Meals
were soup-a little in a tall glass.
BY timing the pitch you could drink
without spilling it. Or you could
practice walking with hands and
feet along the passageways using
your hands along the walls"
He told how the Red Cross and
the Army managed to arrange week
end recreation for the Yanks in the
Australian cities.
Nothing was open from Satur-
day noon until Monday morning,
due to Australian labor and blue
laws" he said. I'VE arranged for
three movie houses in Sidney to
open on Sunday for servicemen and
their companions. And We put on
a dance every Sunday night, with a
thousand girls invited. The per-
sonnel manager of a department
store would invite 200 girls and the
attendance would so be rotated
among the working girls of the city's
5000, 900 population"
He remembered two plane rides
vividly-one going north from Sid
ney when the pilot and the co-pilot
each thought the other was flying
the plane and both went to sleep.
The plane went into a dive. The
pilot woke up and pulled it into a
sharp climb. The passengers were
all pitched over the seats in front
of them. And 1,000-pound Fort
ress motor they were taking to the
front got loose and began to bump
around. That was bad moment.
But nothing to the ride from New
Zealand to Australia in Liberator,
The way things were down there
at the time" he said, was that
when a bomber got sour from being
shot up or bumped around, they
made transport plane of it.
