OAR Committee

Endorsement Of the Junior Amer
ican Citizens Committee, National
Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, has been re-
ceived from high-ranking Army Of
flcers, according to an announce
ment by Mrs. William H. Pouch,
president general. 49,
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower has
written letter to one of the JAG
clubs named for him. A note which
was addressed to students in the
Garfield School at Abilene, Kans,

lows: citizenship classes are, in
my opinion, wonderful thing and
sincerely wish that I could at
tend one of your meetings"
Mrs. Pouch points out that the
clubs are educational, recreational
and character building and that
they offer many privileges and
pleasures as we'll as responsibilities
to boys and girls. Through them,
it is expected that the young people
will understand what it means to
be good citizens of the United
| States.
The OAR are discovering new To-
cations for clubs at housing CEN
ters and among neighborhood chill
dren who may provide stay -at-home
entertainment for youngsters and
thus further the wish that citizens
know each other and cooperate in
the war effort.
Club directors obtain the support
OF school authorities, assemble the
student and describe to them the
aims, activities, achievements of
the groups and thus organize the
clubs. Youngsters elect officers,
choose club name and plan future
work. They have form for con-
Quoting meetings with a president
or chairman presiding and a secre-
tary to take the minutes.
Besides selling War Stamps and
Bonds, the clubs are engaged in a
number Of war activities which in

Sunday evening, January the
3Oth, has been designated
heroes night" at the Fauquier
Theater in Warrenton, Va, and
will launch the Fourth War
Bond drive for Fauquier Coun-
ty. Managing the Sunday night
performance is tall, good looking
Mrs. Raymond McGrath.
A native of Warrenton, Mrs.
McGrath is the former Anne
Serre. She attended the War
renton Country School and al
most since her schoolgirl days
has been an enthusiastic horse
woman. Since the war, however,
she, like so many other women
in Warrenton, has given most
Of her free time to war work. She
Is vice chairman, secretary and
treasurer of the Red Cross Can
teen, and chairman of nutrition.
She has two small daughters and
with her farmer-banker husband
lives in a lovely old house in
Warrenton that once belonged
to the Lomax family.
Patriotic Fauquier County has
never failed to reach its quota
in any War Bond drive and Mrs.
McGrath is confident that the
quota of $650,O00 will be reached
this time. That's quite a lot, too,
for a population of approximately
21,0Oo.
The Sunday performance will
feature five heroes of this war
who will tell of their experiences
and such distinguished person.
ages as Michael Bartlett, Leslie
Brooks and Edgar Buchanan will
lend their services to the occa-
sion. 1t should be a very gala
event and we're willing to bet
that 1t will be.
No town of the same size has
done more toward the war effort
than Warrenton. The Red Cross
Chapter there has made for it
self a distinguished and impress
sive record Right in the center
of town there's a USO club for
service men and women which
is doing a wonderful job. In
every drive for War Bonds the
county has gone over the top
so here's hoping that that $780,
900 quota will be reached, too.

INTRIGUE SEEN IN PICTURE AT
 10TH CENTURY

Warner Bros. have once again achieved grand picturization of a best-selling novel in their excell- ent adaptation of Stephen Long streets The Gay Sisters to the screen. The film, which is now showing at the 20th Century The atre, has everything that makes for fine screen entertainments swift-moving story-a fine cast romance intrigue and brilliant dialogue.
 Starring in the film is Barbara Stanwyck as the fiery, imperious Fiona, Gaylord, who is forced to reveal a scandal which has hung like cloud over the Gaylord fam fly for years. At one time, in order to secure one hundred thou sand dollars left to her by an aunt, provided that she was married, Fiona met Charles Barclay and tricked him into marrying her. Then she tried to buy him off with $25,000. He took the money, but never lost sight of the fact that he was tricked. After many years he finds an opportunity for re- venge and his method in taking ad- vantage of it is so unique and has such startling results that it would be unfair to reveal the consequences in advnace.

Push Into Gustav Line Bombings, Sabotage
 Causing Confusion

BERN, May 16.-The Allied push into the Gustav line, coupled with bombings and partisan sabotage has disrupted food deliveries and thrown Italy into the greatest confusion since the days following the Mus solini custer.
 Dispatches from the border said at least half a million Italians are fleeing the southern war zone and have pushed into Rome, already short of housing, and crowded with 100000 people bombed out of their homes.
 There are virtually no rail coni- mrfnications from Florence south ward, and impossible to shunt the refugees north.
