I can only say that if I had lost

Could be that the apathy of the
actors in an air-conditioned bar for
the beginning scene, and at inter

ten interest is upheld with shots
from World War U newsreels which
are real enough- . .with lots of
planes on raids, bombs away, with
Airforce, Navy and Army forces
in action (and not a single Mar

that’s not enough to make a good

After th* “chow,” there were
pillow fights, bunny-hopping con
tests, singing, ticking and * . .
just about everything.
They were chaperoned by Mrs.
Amelia Camus (Momma ’Metis)
and Mrs. Annie Montgomery
(Aunt Annie). Between 40 and
50 girls attended.
The first Rainbow meeting in
