As told in The Citizen yesterday, Holmes is alleged to have caused an acc dent Saturday night, while driv- ing his truck, and on Sunday night is charged with having been; driving again while drunk. He es-; caped before he could be detained | by the coast guardsmen, and his truck was held till he or its owner turned up to claim it. The guardsmen yesterday in- formed the sheriff's office of Holmes’ return, and Deputy Sheriff Joe Knight and State Highway Patrolman Walker went to Marathon and arrested him.

Moulton, of the Gulf Stream Trailer Park, were in the Broadway ,making the rounds of the store to obtain the groceries they wished, when they said they saw a woman, who later | from Pittsburgh fired: It happened on an airliner bound to Washington. He was just a garrulous private and he wore the starred bar that showed he had been in action. In a voice that carried over a large section of the cabin, he an- nounced that he had been in Guadalcanal, had killed 27 Japs singJe-handed. He told about his trip home on a transport. He an- nounced proudly he was going to preflight training school to be- come a combat pilot. He just coulden’t wait to get in the air. Boy, what he would do. . . About that time the airliner hit the mountains and began to bounce around like corn on a popper. In five minutes the loud lad was sil- ent and sea-green. At the Wash- | ington airport, he climbed un- steadily from the plane — but he squared himself with the other passengers.

Cities which taking in much war money are breaking records — Seattle, for example, has been averaging three sold out houses for musical at- tractions a week; Chicago is flourishing, and so are many cities such as Portland, Ore. San Francisco finished its usual fall opera season without a deficit for the first time in_ history. Popular artists have never been more successful — Heifetz has played to a succession of sold out houses, Yehudi Menuhin has had a similar experience, Helen Trau- bel has packed them in. Most managers pick as the im- portant fact about war-time au- diences the circumstance that au- asa whole are younger than they ever have been, even though millions of young men and women are in service or war work. In Boston, particularly, the war has reversed the Boston Sym- phony’s audience trend. In other days, according to George R.
