This whole thing is ridiculous if you just sit Down and think logically about it. Here these people arc our enemies they declared War on us we had to come Clear Over Here and Light them a and now that we re Here they look on us As their friends if anything their attitude is More that of liberated Peoples than was that of the French in North Africa and they seem to look to us More eagerly for Relief from their hunger. In several of the smaller Mountain towns our troops were greeted by signs saying Quot Welcome in English pasted on building Walls and american flags fluttering from the w windows. Of course there Are some sicilians who Are Loyal no matter what and treat us As enemies. 1 there is some Small sabotage. Such As cutting of our phone wires. But on the whole the sicilians Are certainly More for us than the arabs of Africa were but in springtime s oily must look like a Garden of Eden. It could be a Garden of Eden. Too.

Planning on a curio shop mail Gall a mail not airmail dear editor everyone seems to have a different idea on the question of Vernl is air mail. Sometimes we ail know regular air mail letters arrive sooner than a mail which is supposed to be quicker.

Is she a real wac or is she something you dreamed up not As a straight account of How the Royal Navy protects merchant ships.  now playing at the Vox is an adequate entertaining picture. It has none of the drama of that other recent British epic of the sea in which we serve a and at no time does the audience find itself sitting on t Edge of the seats in anticipation of a great crisis. Destroyer commander Clive Brook matinee idol of London and Hollywood in a gone by Day finds himself the Superior of Leer of John Clements who previously had run away with Brooks wife but a j failed to marry her. Naturally their Mutual feelings Are not cordial. In a heroic Battler Ith the German pocket battleship deutschland Clements acquits himself Admiral by and saves h. M s. Apollo from certain destruction. So the Convoy reaches Britain safely and a the Royal Navy chalks up another win. Perhaps the most human charac ter in the picture is the old Captain of a blockade Runnel who refuses to join the Convoy and is Cap ured by the germans he is freed by the British who order him to sink his failing Vessell but the love of his ship is too great end he steals away or. The fog Only to disco a cd the deutschland lurking near the Convoy while the battleships big guns Pound the vessel the can to in discloses her presence to the Convoy by the Morse code in steam whistle boats. Is Mesto gave the he Dies but Convoy time to escape. The first half of the picture is horribly slow but the action picks up and the film comes through with a Fine Battle Between the destroyer and the big German warship. A Cpl. Al Kohn
