PROGRESS Pulls AHEAD

There are only two possible
solutions to the problem of human
relationships between white and
non-white Americans. One is the
ethical and the other is the un-
ethical solution. 1t is too soon to
be comfortably sure in which dir
ection the country will move, but
there have been signs Of late that
forces of progress are pulling
slightly ahead.-Margaret Halsey

The New Arthur

It's fun to teach dane

Vivian M arne tt,

and facially almost identical with
his mid-20's self. has a better
time acting his age than anyone
could realize who has not tried it
professionally himself. In song
and night club recitative, he
makes NOT going to football
games. NOT having dates, and
NOT doing dozen other things
seem reasonable. Maybe not as
joyful as doing these things used
to be, but tolerable at that.
And when Vallee sings "Vaga-
bond Lover" IF You Were the
Only Girl" (Which she now Isl,
the "Stein Song" and the others,
he puts an arch across the years
that makes you feel that, in some
respects at least. you are the same
person you were then.
No other floor show can make
this statement, not Hildegarde
even.
Vallee has not so completely sold
native night-clubbers the notion
that all ages except middle are to
be regretted. but the fashion in
which he has survived it is pretty
much Of local sensation. The
women who were bobby-soxers, or
whatever they were called at the
time when he was starting, now
look old enough to be his mother,
or at least his mother-in-law.
Naturally at this point in their
lives it is too late to do anything
about it but they can pass along
to their daughters the Vallee for
mula for retaining youth and more
than an echo Of its vitality.
He does not offer his method as
a formula. Of course. It just comes
out in talking with him.
"Everybody's too tense" he says,
especially in show business. I
never did fall for this split second
timing they try to sell you in en-
tertainment, especially in radio.
I like to relax audiences. by being

Enthusiastically, and instead of
meaning disaster, it meant a for
tune to him. He took a crooner's S
time. a soft and ambling tempo to
do whatever he had to do and 1t
kept him at the top Of radio long
after those high-speed producers
had gone through their third sets
Of ulcers.
What is more, he never felt
better.
Vallee who was born with New
Englander's faith in character al
ways knew that is what he wanted
to be in show business. A char
acter such as Bing Crosby or Ar
thur Godfrey, a pair he uses for
illustration, can go on being a sue
cess no matter how much or how
radically he changes his material.
From a saxophone player, band
leader and crooner, he has romped
through all other branches of show
business with a liveliness that dis
mays many of his fellow profess
sionals.
He even does a spot of ventrilo-
quism, more in spirit of fun than
as threat to his competitors, and
his enjoyment of it Is one of the
better parts of his current act.

One of the quieter, but most
pleasant things about Valee today
is that he is as loyal to his old
public Of the roaring '2Os as it is
to him.

women officers. The Army did this
during and after the war.
| One nice thing about taking off,
GER training, If you're a girl, is the
fact you can skip extensive field
maneuvers. Otherwise, the male
and female training programs are
ldentical-they include the usual
courses in administration, Air
Force organization, supply, military
law, field sanitation and etc.
The age limitation can not be
stretched-applicants must be at
least 20l2 years old but not more
than 26l2. They must also have at
least two years of college, or be able
to pass an exam of that educational
level. While training, the rank of
staff sergeant is held.
| The law which allowed women to
become part of the regular Armed
Forces set definite quotas on the
numbers to be taken in. For in
stance, the Air Force is allowed to
build up to total of 300 regular
officers and 1000 regular enlisted
women during the next two years.
That doesn't mean they can't give
reserve commissions to more girls
than that, because they can. Also
there is no definite limit to the
number of reserve enlisted women
who can join the Air Force Reserve.
After the two years are up and
full women strength is reached, the
regular quota is set at a fiat two per
cent of the male strength.
The Army, on the other hand, is
allowed to commission 500 regular
officers and enlist $500 regular
enlisted women during the next two
years. The two per cent figure
then takes over.
The Army's officer training school
is now operating. It's located at Camp
Lee, Va. Any physically-qualified
girl between 10 and % who has two
years of college, is citizen of the
United States and unmarried, may
apply for the six months course.
Girls accepted get the same rating
as their Air Force sisters and, if
they complete the program, come
out with a reserve commission.
They then must serve two years
on active duty as reserve officer
and, like their Air Force sisters.
some may be selected for regular
commissions.
Here's one other item for YOU
glamour girls. Tomorrow is the last
day you can enlist in the Regular
Army at the same grade you held
at the time of discharge from the
WAC if, of course, you are
otherwise qualified. This applies to
any ex-Wac discharged after May
IL, 1945.
Well get to the Navy and Marine
Corps in future column.
