LARGE detail of Ameri-A can soldiers stationed now at Accra, on the Gold Coast of West Africa, sat through a driving rainfall to see one of the "global" pre-mieres of "Stage Door Can-teen." Lt. Col. Flynn L. An-drew, who returned recently from an extended tour of the fighting fronts, reported on it. This was one of simultaneous showings of the picture on 38 battle fronts. It took place in an open-ai- r theater, and a sudden rainstorm dampened the audience considerably, but not ' their enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, he's doing fine with his new radio pro-gram "The Frank Sinatra Show," 45 minutes a week of joy for fans who've made him "America's favor-ite male "vocalist." Victor Borge goes into the army in September. Not content with do-ing his Blue Network show and working in a picture on the MGM lot, he recently opened as a night-club entertainer at one of Holly-wood's favorite spots. He explains his passion for work in this way "I'd like to do a year's theatrical work in three months." Looks as if he'd manage it. Jack Whiting subbed for William Gaxton on the CBS Playhouse "The Gay Divorcee" and did a fine job, but his heart wasn't in it. His step-son, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. was in New York on leave, and Whiting was to have been godfather that day at the Fairbanks baby's christening.

Ginny Simms has stepped into the lead in the Metro musical, "Along Broadway," and Eleanor Powel who had been mentioned for the role, steps out; she asked for a release from her contract, which had nine months more to run. According to the dancer, she wants to devote more time to army camp entertainment, which is wonderful news for the boys who'll benefit. After signing Anita Louise to a long term contract, Columbia has given her a leading role in "Restless Lady," which will be a comedy thrill-er rather like "A Night to Remem-ber."

Numerous Floating Isles ; One Traveled 1,000 Miles Two Brazilian airmen forced down off the coast recently took refuge on a floating island from which they were rescued. Float-ing islands are frequent in the estuaries of big South American rivers such as the La Plata, Ama-zon and Orinoco. They were orig-inally parts of low-lyin- g jungle torn away by floods and held together by roots. Sometimes they carry animals and insects as well as vegetation. Some years ago a floating island two acres in extent was seen drift-ing in the Gulf Stream off Key West, the southernmost point of Florida. It was thickly covered with bushes, and at one point rose to 30 feet above sea level. That was in May. By the end of August it had passed Cape Cod and was veering towards the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. One month later it was in mid-ocea-northwest of the Azores, but now it was considerably small-er than it had been earlier in the year, and after the end of Septem-ber was not seen again. Gales, no doubt, had broken it up," yet be-fore its destruction it had voyaged a distance of rriore than a thou-sand miles. 'Tivas Too Late Then for Stammerer to Take Time As the train sped on its way, the little man leaned for-ward and tapped the big man op- - j posite on the knee. "Your " he began, and it was obvious he was making a big effort to control his stammer. The other man smiled gently. "Now, take it slowly," he said. "Yes, your " the little man gulped. "No hurry, old chap," said the big man, winking at the others in the coach; "just take a deep breath and " Crash! His words ended in a yelp of pain as his bag up in the rack overbalanced and struck him squarely on the head.

Who's News This Week By Delos Wheeler Lovelace Consolidated Features. WNU Release. MEW, YORK. John Jeremiah Felly, president of the Associa-tion of American Railroads, takes a rightful pride in his contribution This Man Fulfilled l?. Boyhood Promise What his Made to Mother trains nave d o n e i n hauling war supplies and moving troops on top of their regular traffic makes every railroad man from president to brakie hold his head high. This is the second war Pelly has had to contend with. Twenty-fiv- e years back he was keeping soldiers and munitions rolling suc-cessfully over the IUinois Central, for which he was then superintend- ent of the Southern division. Leaving the University of Illinois early because his family needed an extra bread winner, he started out teaching school in Anna, 111., where he was born 65 years ago. When the Illinois Central gave him his first job as a clerk at Anna, he promised his mother he'd give her a ride some day in his special car. He kept his word. Before that, however, he had been a section hand. The fine physique he'd gained hoeing onions on bis father's farm stood him in good stead there. Soon he was foreman of the gang and in 1904 his road made him a division supervisor. Later he worked all over the system, ris-ing with each move. When he left the Illinois Central In 1926 to head the Central of Georgia Railway, he had become vice president In charge of operations. In 1929 he moved to New York as top man of the New Haven. Five years later even the travel-wor- n commuters mourned when he left for his present job. ASKED once what his hobby was, James Vincent Forrestal re-plied "obscurity." That's something he gets little chance to enjoy these days in his Has Obscurity for roie o un. HobbyNever Able derseere- - To Meet Up With It tary of e navy. In fact, ever since he took over that job in August, 1940, just two months after congress created it, and be-came the driving force behind the production of ships, planes and guns, he has been very much in the fore-ground. Blunt in speech, quick in his grasp of new and intricate problems, steady under pressure, this civilian from Wall Street hits it off well with the Annapolis-traine- d career officers. Forrestal is a product of the Hudson valley. He was born in Beacon, N. T., 51 years ago. After graduating from high school there, he tried his hand at newspaper reporting before entering college. He started at Dartmouth, but finished at Princeton. Despite the fact that he had to work his way through, he found time to edit the Daily Princetonian. The last war, in which he was a naval aviator, interrupted his finan-cial career for a couple of years, but soon after the Armistice he was back at it. The twenties were still young when he became Clarence Dil-lon's right-han-d man. In June, 1940, when President Roosevelt called him to Washington as an executive assistant, he left the presidency of Dillon Read & Co. to accept. BRIG. GEN. Patrick Jay Hurley's in the present war have been as minister to New Zealand and as President Roosevelt's spe-cial repre- - Kiched at Missing sentative in Shooting, but That the Middle Is Soon Remedied Efy kept him clear of excitement and danger, though. As a result his coun-try has just awarded him the Dis-tinguished Flying Cross. He has made extremely hazardous flights to the South Pacific, the Orient, the Middle East and Russia. On these he displayed "conspicuous courage and initiative," his citation read. Early in the war he was kick-ing that he had missed all the shooting. Then while he was in Port Darwin, the Japs cut loose with an air raid, and he was slightly wounded. He had had two other close calls. Last December while he was touring the Russian front a land mine left by the Nazis just missed blowing up his car. In April, when on his present mission, his plane developed engine trouble over the South Atlantic and the pilot barely got it back to Hurley won a Distin-guished Service Medal with Ameri-can Expeditionary Forces in France in. World War I when he fought in the Aisne-Marn- Argonne, and St. Mihiel sectors. In this conflict his organiza-tion of blockade running into the Philippines and his observations in Russia got him an Oak Leaf Cluster. The Spanish-America- n war was the only scrap of his lifetime he missed. He tried to join Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders then, but they ruled him too young. He was born down in the Choctaw country of what was then Indian Territory. He was orphaned at 11 and had skinner and a cow been a mule puncher by the time he was 14. He s profession. He was sec-retary a lawyer by of war for President Hoover. President Roose-velt In January, 1941, made him a brigadier general aud sent him back into the thick of things. Frozen meats should not be thawed before cooking. Soaking them to hasten defrosting impairs the flavor. The setting of a jelly can be hastened by placing the mold in a pan of cold water. A cloth dipped in linseed oil and wiped over a polished surface will improve the appearance. ' When pickling onions, if you are using white vinegar, a few drops of sweet oil of almonds added to each jar will help to keep them white. Cut two large apples and one lemon into slices without removing the peel. Add three ounces of sugar and one or two cloves. Pour over this a quart of boiling water, cover closely, and leave until cold. Mayonnaise used on sandwiches should be thick enough to prevent its running out at the sides. A piece of wax tied in a rag, and rubbed over the hot iron be-fore ironing, will help it to run along smoothly, and prevent its sticking. Wood siding from which mois-ture has not been sufficiently re-moved may be finished with shingle stain instead of a solid film of paint. When stubborn particles of meat and vegetables stick to the inside of the grinder, run a small piece of dry bread through the grinder. The bread acts as a chaser, and saves work in the dishpan. Rub bacon fat over the skins of potatoes before they are put into the oven to bake. Then the skins will not crumble or break, and will have a delicious flavor. Eat the skins with the potatoes. For a spring dessert how about rhubarb shortcake? Serve rosy rhubarb sauce over slightly hot biscuits made with a bit of sugar added to flour. Trim iob A young miss was arrested for a traffic violation. Upon posting bail, she was told to fill out a card giving make, type and model of her car. After she left an officer picked up the card and his eyes popped wide as he read: MAKE Female TYPE Blonde YEAR 21. Break Away Wife wonder if I'll ever live to he a hundred? Hubby Not if you 'remain forty much longer, dear. And There Ain't Mrs. X, who had two sons in the marines and a daughter in the WAAC, was visiting a farm when she came upon a youth of draft age milking a cow. "Young man," she asked stern-ly, "why aren't you at the front?" "Cos there ain't any milk at that end, missus," was the calm reply. Life is just an eternal struggle to keep one's earning capacity up to one's yearning capacity. Out to Please As the quiet little man got up from his supper and went towards the front door, his wife snapped out: "Now, don't tell me you're going to that horrid club again tonight!" "Right, m'dear, anything to please you!" he replied soothingly, as he picked up his hat. "I won't say a word about it." You can understand why the average man doesn't welcome a visit from his mother-in-la- It's another mouth to heed. Double Benefit "I'm very careful; I always send my children out of the house before I quarrel with my hus-band." "The little dears, they look so healthy from spending so much time in the open air." Cost and Worth "How much are potatoes worth now?" "They're worth no more than they ever were, but they're cost-ing about six times as much.". Airplanes and Pilots in World War I, and Now Our army and navy had only 55 planes when the United States entered the first World war. And 51 of these had been pronounced obsolete by the advisory commit-tee on aeronautics. The Allies had, all told, about 700 planes at the start. At the close of the war, Great Britain had 14,000, France had 12,000 and the United States, 10,000. At the war's end, Germany had about 11,000. In 1914, there were only about 1,000 trained pilots in the world. Four years later there were more than 100,000. Today there are more than a quarter of a million.
