The spicy, exotic different recipes make quite a hit in all locales: The gay original drawings, plus the blithe humor, of the chapter forewards combine to make a delightfully different cookbook — and the recipes are rewarding in that they are fair- ly easy — foolproof — and pro- duce exotic results which will satisfy even the most finicky of gourmets.

Service people must of a necessity, as they move about #0 much, form quick friendships — but many of these prove to be firm and vital and lasting. “Our boy, Zupp” as we called him was caught between his Army ties — being a Pointer and his loyalty to the Air Force which at the time we met him was a brand new thing. He was a wonderfully happy person and there was much good-natured kidding and many jokes. I can almost hear him say “0. Be ee s and at — bah humbug — or down — here we go!” 554 I mention this because I feel the ews so keenly and his silver wings were almost used here recently in a practical joke, They'll be drop- ped in the Gulf — he loved fish- ing and could never visit, here as he was in Belgium at the time, and now — the wild blue yonder Miami Deanery At St. Paul’s On Wednesday Plans have been completed for the Miami Deanery Spring meet- ‘opal Church on Wednesday, branches of the Woman’s Auxi- he Miami area will be delegates |, Pompano Beach, Miami Beach, Hialeah, Coral Gables, Coconut Groves and Homestead. ed by Mrs. Mervin L.

The play, being about life aboard a U. S. naval cargo ship during war time, will be seen here by many persons, who had direct, personal experiences similar to those situa- tions developed in “Mister Rob- erts.”” It will be very interesting tc hear their comments after they have seen the show, and had the opportunity to compare their phi- losophy with that of Lieutenant (j._g.) Roberts. The opening on Wednesday, March 24, is an event of some special note, not only because this jis one of the biggest hits in the | history of the American theatre, | but also because it is the first Play to bear the name, as co- author, of one of the theatre’s most phenomenal and glittering person- alities — Joshua Logan. In an exhaustive article about him in 1949, Life magazine tried | to describe his stature merely as | a stage director. “If,” the Life article ran, “you stage one big success in the Broadway theatre, you are A Very Fine Director. If you stage two very close together, you’re a Genius.” Since Joshua Logan had four “Annie Get Your Gun,” ‘Happy Birthday,’ ‘John Loves Mary’ and ‘M Roberts,’ his level above “genius,” in Broadway’s eyes, is like the le- vel above super-collossal — with- out definition. And even that level | was exceeded when ‘South Pacific’ opened.” | Since then he has had one great | | success after another, probably be- | | cause of two factors. . .an innate | | sense of self-direction and an un-| | failing sense of drama.
