After developing a mild case Of
audio- -modulated schizophrenia last
Tuesday night by trying to listen to
Bob Hope and Arthur Godfrey at
the same time, we reached the con-
clusion that we should have left
that dial set at 1900 in the first
place. That this feeling may not
be universally shared is something
that Mr.. Hooper may point out to
us when he next releases his ratings.
But we said it and we're glad.
1t is not that Mr.. Hope is not
a funny man. 1t is rather that
we find the humorist more appeal
ing than the wise-cracker. Hopes
comedy is pitched in high key,
delivered as If by Gatling gun. He
gets sustained laugh from a studio
or living room audience by sheer
speed, his delivery being such that
he can afford three bad gags in a
row if every fourth one clicks.
Godfrey, on the other hand, man.
ages an easier, genial mood. There
is nothing high pitched or breath
less about his approach. When the
necessities of his Talent Scouts"
show call for him to play it straight,
he plays it straight. When a situ-
alton comes along bearing any pos
sibility for humor, Mr.. Godfrey is
a quick man to take advantage of it.
The two shows differ. of course,
in other aspects than the styles of
their two stars. Hopes is the
comedy half-hour. with a little
music and with Vera Vague and
Jerry Colonna joining the comic in
a sort of verbal rough-house wise

How you spend your Tuesday

British Women Petition Kino
To Intervene in Food Crisis
By Wendy Moe6owon
North American Newspaper Alliance.

LONDON, June 27-Great Bri-
tain's reaction to the food situation
Is such, I learn from unofficial in
formants, that there is definite
undercurrent OF alarm among cabi-
net ministers. Complaints and re-
ports. of trouble have been coming
in from all over the country be-
cause Of extreme shortages which
are said to result from mismanage-
ment and improper distribution
rather than from any actual lack
Of foodstuffs.
Last week end many protest meet
ings were held, attended by serious
minded women. The most interest
ing was series in Chalfont st.
Peter, Buckinghamshire, a town of
some Importance in the London in
dustrial setup. Here women gath
cred at the behest of Mrs. Mary
We're, president of the recently
organized British housewives ma
tional revolt campaign, and decided
to petition the King under the 157-
year-old bill of rights.
Mrs. Were plans a country wide
campaign with protest officer In
each district or town to enroll as
many local women as possible. A
gigantic demonstration would then
be planned; the women would
march on Westminster and petition
the Prime Minister to end bread
rationing after it begins July 81.
This movement is gaining impetus.
> What amounted almost to a riot
took place during the recent potato
scarcity when women, standing in
line outside grocery store, in
furiated on finding no potatoes for
sale, broke into the shop and a
nearby warehouse and helped them
selves to the needed vegetables.
I understand no official action
whatever has been taken. This is a
serious state of affairs, for the people
of this country, especially the house.
wives, are accustomed to abide by
regulations with a minimum of pro-
test.
Indignation is running high over
the lack of potatoes because it is
understood that while the people
here cannot buy any or, at least. are
limited to two pounds each, potatoes
are being shipped in huge quantities
to Germany.
Another thing incensing buyers is
that the illegal condition of sale
being imposed on wholesalers and
retailers are in turn being imposed

The County's bedside nursing
service, which is available to any
one desiring it, was the topic of
talk given by Miss Sadie Glad
win, Director of Public Health
Nursing, before the Ashton Epis-
copal Women's Guild last week.
The fact that the bedside service
is for all residents of the demon

the 0lney, Laytonsville and Coles
vile areas, seems not to be we'll
understood. The fee for it is $3.50

Annapolis--At a meeting, held at
Carvel Hall recently, Vice Admiral
Fitch, superintendent of the Naval
Academy, told members of the
Annapolis and Anne Arundel
Chamber of Commerce that the
academy should be expanded to
take care of the present enroll
ment of 2,713 midshipmen; but
under the measure approved in
Washington must handle 5000 in
the future. This, he claims, is alb
solutely impossible with present
facilities. Before adjournment, the
Chamber unanimously endorsed
the Naval Academy program of
expansion, in it's entirely and
pledged support. The preliminary
plans call for an airfield at Sandy
Point and an expansion of the
Naval Academy Grounds by the
filling in of College Creek, taking
in property along King George
Street and the extension of the
grounds seward in the Severn

County residents, at P-TA meet
ing at Frank Knox, DR.. T. J. Pull

Schools, repeatedly stressed the
importance of an interested citi-
zenry attacking the problems now
facing education in the state. EN-
phasizing the fact that the grade
of teaching is, to a large extent,
proportinate to salaries, he stated
that it is up to each community to
put their just share and not rely
on the state for the entire out
lay. He pointed out that the State
