British Children Hear Lectures
On D. &. From CorpI. ScuLI

A BASE IN ENGLAND.-Corpl.
Joseph D. Scull, 81, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frederick Scull, 735 New Jersey
avenue NV, spends his spare time
here telling young Britishers about
life in America.
Stationed with a fighter group
here, Corpl. Scull thought Of this
way of improving mutual under
standing between the two countries
when he visited some local secondary
schools one day on pass, and found
the pupils full of questions about
the United States. He prepared two
talks, which he illustrates with post
cards, snapshots and folders, one on
Washington, D. c., and the other
on American life in general. He
has given both several times, at the
invitation of the local board of edu-
cation, in various schools.
He found the interest in Wash
ington centered around the Capitol
Building and the White House,
partly because they are associated
In peoples minds with Prime Min
lister Winston Churchill's visits to
America.
The questions he is asked are
mostly about two things SO diverse
as the rationing Of food and cloth
ing in America, and the activities
OF cowboys. Indians and gangsters,
whom British youngsters are said
to believe have the United States
pretty well sewed up between them.
They want to know how Amer
leans spend their spare time and
are intensely curious about film
stars, the movies and Hollywood In
general. They are always intrigued
by the samples of American money
