STORK TIP CANCELS MARTHA'S TRIP
All that stood between actress Martha Raye and her proposed entertainment tour of the CBI Theater was a baby, it was revealed this week. Miss Raye disclosed the fact that she and her fourth husband, dancer Nick Condos, are infanticipating sometime next fall. She was planning a tour to CBI-land "when I found out." |
Underground
CHINESE ESCAPE
Reports reaching Roundup this week from Army News Service told the dramatic story on an Underground Railway, patterned after that of the Civil War slave era, which has aided the escape of 400 skilled technicians from Japanese-occupied China. Revelation was made by Irving Abramson, chairman of the CIO War Relief Committee, who stated that the project, which has been in operation since last September, is financed partly by CIO and AFL war relief funds. |

![]() With each Thursday's edition I keep hoping for one omission. With fingers crossed and eager eye With an expression of "never-say-die," I hurriedly turn to the Poet's Corner; And sure enough, like Little Jack Horner, There's a verse or poem, however flawless, But always written by Sgt. Smith Dawless. By S/Sgt. ARTHUR D. SHERMAN |
The Chaplain speaks to soldiers as a friend What if there be no building set apart For worship only? At the world's far end There is no other altar than the heart Perhaps our man-made temples are too small Without a divine or spire arising there A synogogue is built but has no wall A vast cathedral fills the open air The soldiers hymn in reverence off-key Recalling hometown choice, they lift loud praise It may be in a closer harmony Than congregations knew in carefree days He offers benediction on the farms The factories and homes and loved ones there Above bowed heads, he stretches forth his arms While khaki-covered hearts commune in prayer If he revives that dream wherein men saw A better world to be, it will suffice Whether he wears the tablets of the law Or else the silver cross of sacrifice. By Sgt. G. ELWOOD JONES |
