He then came back to his hand with the ace of hearts and ran of the balance of his diamond g When he led his last diamond, ne had in his hand the eight of spades and the six of clubs. West had the jack and ten of spades and the king of hearts. He could not throw the king of hearts and establish dum- my's queen so he let go the ten of spades.
 Now look at East,s predicament. He had the jack of clubs and the king and queen of spades. If he let go the jack of clubs. the Doctors six spot would be good so he let go the queen of spades.
 The Doctor, in the meantime, had thrown away the queen of hearts and now won the last two tricks with the ace and five of spades in dummy.

and would want to go."
 It has been tough going trying to get sufficient number of WACS. WAVES and nurses to volunteer for overseas duty.
 But it's a safe bet that war wives are one group of women who would swamp Uncle Sam with their demands to go over seas with the first Shipload, if wives were allowed to join their husbands.
 It's men that have made service women reluctant to sign up for overseas duty. Either they have a husband is service they want to wait at home for, or they have a sweetheart who advises them against foreign duty, or they nave a man on the string at home they are trying to get to the altar. PIONEER SPIRIT PREVAILS
 But for the wives of fighting men there are no such draw backs.
 Besides. when you talk about pioneer spirit, you naturally think of wives. Not many women crossed the plains of the West alone. They went along with their men. They had the pioneer spirit because they knew 1t was better to face hardships and un- certainty than to be separated from their men. And wives are just the same today. They would not hesitate a minute to follow their men to war if they only had the chance.

POLI'S

The New England premiere of "1'll Be Seeing You" with Joseph Gotten and Ginger Rogers, ably assitsed by Shirley Temple, now current at thG Loew-Poli theater is attracting large crowds.
 It is a timely, poignant story of shell-shocked soldier on furlough from hospital who tries to prove to himself that he has a definite place in society. He meets girl who is on a ten-day holiday from state prison where she was serving a term for accidental man-slaughter.
 Ginger Rogers and Joseph Gotten as the young couple trying to re- habilitatet themselves give espe- cially fine performances.
 On the same program is the in- triguing mystery "Grissly'S Mil- lions" starring Paul Kelly and Vir- ginia Grey. Ably supporting the stars are a well-known group of character actors including Don Douglas, Elisabeth Risdon and Ro- bert Barrat.

My Life and Hard Times" My World and Welcome to It." and Fables for Our Time" to name few, are saved the trouble, worthwhile though 1t would be, of collecting these pieces.
 MT. Thurber is a connoiSSeur of the incredible, his humor has no bounds. The men, the women and the dog he draws and writes about will exist for you, fantastic though they may seem at first blush. And some of the best reading in the whole collection concerns his boyhood days in Columbus, Ohio, where the people and things certainly did happen-in- cluding his weekly physical exam nation by draft board doctors, which continued right up until the Armis- tice. x
