e. LIP. Mixed Bowling League

Last week the men in the league walked of with all the hcnors, but this week 1t is Q different story. The girls evidently took unlprage at the reference made to their indifference and decided to show the male sex a thing or two about knocking down those pins. Angie Mambruno rolled 326 for the evening, with 0 niRh single of ll9. Helen Roberts continued to bowl like a champ and came through with 3l4, while Dot Whitaker helped her team along with 303, and our faithful substi- ute, Evelyn Bakmazian, produced a nice three game total of 306, hit- ting I2i for Q high single. Keep up the good work, girls.
 Jack Kearney's team of Jets went into tie for first place with the Sockets after winning three points from the Bulbs, who put up good fight. Next week, however, the competition will be provided by the Plugs, who bowled high game of 51e.
 Speaking of the Plugs, the soda consumed by the two Smith mem. bers of the team certainly was pow erful stuff. First, Florence partook of the beverage and then proceeded to get two spares in the next two boexs. Then Rosemary, after drain- ing the bottle, knocked out four spares in succession They are considering the idea of asking the manufacturer for Q commission on any increase in sales.
 Warning to Whitaker, Kearney, Humphries, Hyland. Valechkc and all high-aVeraged bowlersl Watch out for Rene Droulet, G newcomer to the league. He throws e mean ball and Is climbing right up there each week.

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. As-DEAR STAFF: It's no laughing matter, but l can't restrain Q sardonic chuckle when think how Hollywood is carrying out its boasted campaign to endear the nations to one an- other in this postwar world of ours. Consider, for instance, the beautt- iul relationship being engendered, via the cinema, between the U. S.. and Great Britain.
 Recently, Warner Brothers-which has shouted as loudly as any studio about its intention to re-educate the people of the earth in the ways of peace-offered the London pub lie a picture called Objective, Burma. And blimey if the Lon doners didn't get so mad about 1t that the picture had to be "jerked' to placate lem. Imagine, the Bri- tish actually contended that they had an army in Burma, tool They even went so far as to assert-in

Nightie Joy Ride
Brings Statewide
kidnapping Alarm


Three men and a II year old
girl clad in hen nightgown. went
on Joy ride, aided by a case OF
beer Tuesday night, and unknow-
ingly, caused a state wide kldnap-
ping alarm as well as an intense

The brother-inkaw OF the girl
reported to the sheriff's office that
car had driven To his house and
honked the horn. His sister-in-
law went outside In her "nightie"
to see who 1t was. Then, he said,
a man grabbed her and forced her
into the rear seat od the car, and
drove away.
Early this morning. state police
men saw the car turning into the
street where the girl lived. The
girl. sim in her bed-dress. was hay.
ing n good time, and with the men,
was working on the case OF beer.
She told police there had been no
kidnapping, that she knew all Of
the men, and had accompanied
them OF her own free WI.
Closer investigation revealed
that the oldest of the men. Jere-
miah Blackburn. 25, had been is
sued a traffic summons, some time
ago, and had ignored it. He also
had gasoline ration Stamps with
several different license numbers
written upon them, so he and the
other two, one Is year odd were
taken to county jail for further
investigation. The girl was re-
leased,
