ana IT'S prOQuCClOn resources are
likely to amaze you. but from seat
Ed, it lacked those pleasant, polished
entertainment values of previous
university musicals.
! AS a student contemplation of
current moreS and foibleS, That's
Where the Money Goes" has a
tolerant laugh and gay sort of song
to ameliorate a number of things
that may be fretting you. Its con-
Germs naturally are those of imme-
diacy to campus dWellerS, such
things as present fashions in love,
movies, radio, horror literature and
beauty culture. It's treatment of
these is sometimes smart indeed, and
at other times, no smarter than that
of established professionals with
whom misfiring has become habit
Even at such times as its writing
and its singing leave something to
be desired, That's Where the Money
Goes" is retrieved by a flashing zest
which is characteristic of C. US
musicals.

achieves the most expert pitch of
the entire revue in taking apart
Director Leo McCarey's story line
and making pretZel of it. Going
Whose Way?" she wants to know
and before her Father Chuck O'Mal-
ley has sung his last disaster out of
the way, she provides a hilarious
answer to her question. Radio drama
and horror publishing also receive
the same writer's ministrations in
the course of the revue, but in
neither case with such glib destruc-
tivenesS.
In throwing back its head and
singing your troubles away, That's
Where the Money Goes" cavorts
through most of the known musical
styles, with the accent upon the
modern. There is merit in a number
of these, among them the spirited
theme song, a pair of ballads This
Bright Day" and Where Is My
Hearts Desire" both by Joan
OByrne. and a couple of biting
items entitled My Bert" and Who
Wants Me?" The misfortune of the
Irevue's tunes is that their solo in
depreciation, save in the case of
Anthony Donadio, lacks the finesse
some of them deserve. Unlike the
ensembles, the soloists refuse to let
themselves go, which does not show

But over here there is a cross.
And over there another,
And Just beyond a thousand more,
Alike as a twin brother.
Aye, rows of them; yes, miles Of
them,
And poppies blooming red.
How strange 1t Is that I forgot
These sentinels Of the dead.
How strange that I forgot my cross,
So small, so straight, SO white,
That sheltered me and guarded me
Each day and every night
While nature covered up the wounds,
The scars on earth and tree,
And hid from man the sacrilege
That only God can see!
The greed, the hate, the broken
things.
Mans vengeance" wreaked on
man.
Did Christ know this on Calvary;
Know this and place no ban?
No ban on those who would destroy
The things He held most dear
The right to live, the right to love,
The faith to conquer fear.
Oh, God, forgive the erring ones
Who make of war a toy,
Who reap their harvest with a sword
And build-but to destroy.
Blow, bugles, blow! My Armistice
Is through,
And Life and Death and I have kept
our promised rendezvous!

The bonded" label was permis-
sible on the liquor originally, WAA
explained, because the whisky was
intended for overseas shipment.
Due to these and other compli-
cations involved in disposal, WAA

Sherbow Group Plan
For Prince Georges

grated towns would get $347 900 an
nually from the State If the Sher-
bow Commission proposals are en-
acted into law, w. Paul Walker, tax
specialist, told the November meet
ing of the County Civic Federation.

incorporated towns, according to
Mr.. Walker, an economist of the
University OF Maryland and con-
sultant to the Sherbow Commis-
sion. -

ment of State funds for roads would
be on the basis of county road
mileage, rather than on total road
mileage throughout the State. he

receive 1882 900 If the State Assem-
bly, approves the Sherbow proposals.
Under the new setup the State

the Maryland Public Service Com
mission that the Capital Transit Co.
is carrying out ION the installment

pany has failed to improve the con-

And only talk with death?

Or screech Of bursting shell.
No bayonet, all rcd and wet.

No mustard gas. that I must pass,
or wheat fields red with blood;
No comrades In the trampled grass
Face downward in the mud.
No nights of watching, waiting

No days Of pain and fear.
No filthy lice as big as mice.
No dead and dying here.
For trees grow on these hills again
Which once were raked with fire
And birds sing in these trees again
