Many juniors and seniors resented that anybody should sug gest that they might vote the money saved on Junior-Senior dances to some emergency war measure. Then they found out nobody was trying to steal the money, that they can do as they like with it. They also saw a lot of self-help students cut ting'down to two meals a day, watched CVTC boys drilling in rain, snow or shine and wearing khaki pants which many of them could not afford, read in a country paper where a little -high school down East cut out its junior-senior banquet en tirely and gave the entire sum of $60 to help in the crisis. The fingers have wagged long enough.

Lynn Gault, ace scene- designer for the Playmakers, and staff of assistants are working every after noon m tne scene shop underneath Emerson stadium in preparation for the show's opening.

Just as an illustration: the first act opens in a synagogue, fades back to a scene on bboard ship, then to a Bronx flat Guess what comes next! A scene on the observation platform of a stream- ined train. In addition there is a scene in a swanky Kiverside Drive apart ment in the play somewhere. Lynn Gault, who is designing the sets, and staff of technical assistants nave been at work for about two weeks. Standing around in the scene shop are speckled sections from the Riverside Drive apartment, a steel girder, and four white virginal pews, absolutely innocent of paint.

Rw Pt Jim Klnttx FORT EUSTIS, Va.' -For a look in to the daily life of one of Uncle Sam's soldiers during his basic training per iod, well follow the activities of Pvt. Johnny Davis (Though this isn t his real name) at Fort Eustis, Va., a Coast Artillery Replacement Train ing Center. At 5:45 a shrill blast from a whistle rouses Johnny from his sound sleep and he sits up on the side of his bunk, blinking his eyes and wondering why it seems as though he had just gone to bed. Then suddenly realizing that he has only five minutes in which to dress and fall "out for reveille. Johnny feverishly begins pulling on his clothes and makes a mad dash out of the bar rack, fixing his tie and buttoning his field jacket as he goes. Johnny stands in formation for about five minutes while the roll is called and the Sergeants report to the Officer of the Day. Then the Battery is dismissed and told to "Police up" the barracks, which means picking up bits of paper, matches, cigarette butts, and anything else that isn't "growing." j After this is completed Johnny goes back into the barrack to make up his bunk and sweep and mop from under it. Breakfast, or "chow" as Johnny calls it, consists of a bottle of milk with a box of cereal, hot coffee, scrambled eggs, and bacon. He then goes back to the barrack where he shaves and gets ready for the day's work. During the first hour the boys are drilled in Battery formation when they learn how to do "left turn," "right turn," and other similar movements. Then they are divided into platoons and given a- ten-minute break during which time they can lie around on the ground and smoke. Then they are given another hour of drilling in pla toons in which they execute such foot movements as "to the rear, march," "Column left," and "to the left flank," with a sergeant or corporal giving the commands. At ten o'clock Johnny is told to take another ten-minute break and fall out in fatigues again. Then the boys are marched down to the area where the guns are placed. Johnny is given in structions on how to load and fire the gun to which his unit is assigned. At 11:00 o'clock the boys are assembled and marched back to the Battery where they are dismissed for the lunch period. Just as Johnny finishes putting back on his dress uniform, someone shouts "mail call," and he, along with the other boys, races madly over to one of the other barracks where the charge of quarters hands out the mail. A sharp blast from the whistle sends Johnny scurrying for the mess hall at 11:40 sharp. Dinner today consists of roast beef, slaw, mashed potatoes, green peas, hot coffee, and fruit salad. After eating his fill, he goes back to the barrack to rest until called out again. , At 12:20 he is told to f all out in fa tigues with his rifle, minus the cat ridge belt. The next hour is devoted to making slings with the leather straps attached to the rifles, (the leather straps are used to wrap around the arm so as to help steady the gua while firing) . Also, the boys are given instruction on handling the rifles, aim ing them at targets, and pulling the triggers while in standing, kneeling, sitting, and prone positions. At 1:20 Johnny is instructed to put up his rifle and fall out again for "mass games. This consists of soft, ball, touch football, volley ball, horse shoe-pitching, or any other sport the boys wish to play. The only require ment is that they stay outside and in dulge in some sort of game. At four o'clock Johnny decidea that he's had enough, (the boys are allowed to go back into their barracks at thai time if they wish, but some continue playing games) so he goes in for a hot shower and to put on his "O.D.'s," (having changed clothes for the sixth time that day) , after which he carries his dirty clothes over to the supply room to be sent to the laundry. Lights are out at 9:30, and some of the boys are still outside talking, or singing to the accompaniment of an old guitar. But not Johnny. He's been in bed for nearly an hour, dream ing about the girl friend back home as the clock hands speed on toward that inevitable 5:45 A.M. when the blast of that whistle rouses the boys from their slumber and announces the beginning of another day.
