Announcing…
The Bainbridge Review is proud to announce the addition of two outstanding national features. While The Review still maintains its rigid policy of "covering" only the Bainbridge Island field, it feels it it offering a real wartime service to its readers in presenting these two leading commentaries:
Washington Merry-Go-Round
Drew Pearson is recognized as one of the nation's top-notch reporters. His "scoops" on vital developments in Washington, D. C. are legion; his sharp analysis of the War's progress is drawn from the "inside." You won't want to miss a single ride on the "Merry-Go-Round" as written exclusively for the weekly field by Mr. Pearson!
Walter Winchell
Who doesn't, by this time, know Walter Winchell, hailed as America's ace reporter? A Broadway gossip artist (the original one), Mr. Winchell often leaves the Great White Way to tell the world about some "flash" that the press services had not reported. "Mrs. Winchell's little boy, Walter" will entertain and inform you in his exclusive weekly column.

Examination due for Port Blakely Rural Mail Route
Applications for the position of rural mail carrier from the Port Blakely post office will be accepted until April 23, the United States Civil Service Commission told The Review this week.
An examination will be held for eligible applicants in Seattle about 15 days after the close of filing applications. Application blanks may be obtained from the Port Blakely post office or from the commission's office in Washington, D. C. The applications must be on file in the commission's Washington office not later than April 23.
The position is now held by Mary Lee Kirkland, Eagledale. She holds a temporary appointment, having recently succeeded Frank Mussleman, Eagledale.
The position pays $1,800 annually on a standard route of 30 miles, with $20 more annually for each additional mile. Certain allowances also are made for equipment maintenance. The examination is open only to citizens who are actual residents of the territory served by the route.
Meanwhile, Kenneth L. Mannen, Battle Point, was awaiting official word of his appointment as Port Blakely postmaster, to succeed Mrs. Margaret Seward, Eagledale. Mr. Mannen said he accepted the appointment in a long-distance telephone conversation with Congressman Warren G. Magnuson in Washington, D. C.
"I consider it an honor to be selected by Mr. Magnuson for this job," Mr. Mannen said. "The only thing I can say at this time is that I will do my best to give the public the service it expects."
Presbyterian Flag to Honor Service Men
A service flag, honoring seven members of the congregation now in the armed forces, will be dedicated at the Rolling Bay Presbyterian Church at its 11 o'clock service Sunday morning.
A chaplain from Fort Lewis will be present. The men to be honored are: Cecil Foss, Steve Magnusson, Robert Waldron and Rodney Waldron, all of the Army, and Lieut.-Comdr. Vernon B. Johnson, Jay Hinkle and Gerald Muck, all of the Navy.

High School to Present Comedy at 8 O'Clock Tomorrow Night
Bainbridge High School's all-school play, "Every Family Has One", a laugh-provoking comedy, will be presented in the school auditorium at 8 o'clock tomorrow night.
Postponed and handicapped by illness in the cast, the play finally is ready for production, Miss Zoe M. Beal, faculty advisor, said yesterday as the reserve seat sale began.
[ ] comedy involves the troubles [ ] when a woman tells some doubtful tales about her family as she attempts to engineer a romance with her daughter and a member of "the 400". How "grandma", played by Mary Medalis, extracts the family from its predicament, provides the amusing plot.
Others in the case: Dorothy Mortenson, Roy Englund, Don McKay, Betty Erickson, Dick Nadeau, Marcia Swendson, Carl Thorsten, Don Flodin, Harriet Curtis, Beverly Clark and Florence Ferguson.

Al Copp Quits as Manager of Winslow Yard
Al Copp, Pleasant Beach, resigned suddenly as general manager of the Winslow Marine Railway and Shipbuilding Company's Island plant Tuesday.
For years the guiding head of the Seattle firm's wartime expanded plant at Winslow, Mr. Copp said he planned a month's vacation before re-entering some kind of war work.
No reason was given for the surprise move.
The company did not immediately name a successor. James Griffiths, Seattle, executive vice-president, grandson of Capt. James Griffiths, Seattle, founder of the firm, and Arthur Ayres, Seattle, vice-president in charge of yard operations, were placed in temporary control of the plant. Mr. Ayers established an office at the plant.

A dinner meeting, this will be the chamber's last session of the season, James F. Hodges, Port Madison, president, said.
Dr. Costigan's topic will be "Bombs Over London," a speech which has been heralded when presented to civilian defense groups in the Northwest. Because of the speech's interest, the chamber is inviting service men on the Island to be its guests, Mr. Hodges said.

No Watchers; Close Post?
Unless ten patriotic Islanders volunteer immediately, there is grave danger that the Aircraft Warning Service post at Battle Point will be abandoned for lack of observers, it appeared this week.
Dr. Hobart T. Cave, Crystal Springs, A. W. S. director for the Island, said the observers are needed for the shift which runs from midnight to 6 o'clock in the morning.
Volunteers need not reside near the post, he emphasized. They can be from any part of the Island. Free Army transportation will be provided to and from the post.
"The post is not being operated during that shift at present," Dr. Cave said. "The Army, of course, demands full-time operation of the post. It will be closed unless we can find ten people who are willing to put patriotism above personal comfort."
He asked that volunteers contact him at Civilian Defense headquarters, Winslow, telephone Port Blakely 411.

Honest, Folks, We Could Not Take His Money
Honest, now, here is one advertisement for which The Review refused to accept any money.
J. F. Henry, Rolling Bay, senior warden there, called The Review and directed that this ad be printed, the bill to be sent to him:
WANTED TEN PATRIOTIC Americans in Port Madison sector (north of Beach's Corner, east of head of Port Madison Bay) to serve as Air Raid Wardens. Help protect your community; Air Raid Wardens are keystone of civilian defense. Telephone Port Blakely 411 or Port Madison 3302.

Legion Will Collect Cans
Island housewives were assured this week that their patiently saved tin cans will be picked up soon.
A spokesman for the salvage committee of Colin Hyde Post, No. 172, American Legion, said Legionnaires would include tin cans in their forthcoming spring salvage campaign.
Many housewives, who began saving the cans when a national appeal was made for them last summer, recently became discouraged when no word of a local pickup was announced. The Legion spokesman said no final arrangements have been made for disposal of the cans, but he promised that the cans would be picked up.
No cans will be accepted unless they have been cleaned, labels removed, both ends cut out and the can flattened.

Rugs in Demand for Army Rooms
Still more furniture donations particularly rugs are needed to furnish two Army day rooms on the Island, Mrs. F. L. Shepard, Winslow, Red Cross chairman, said yesterday.
Trucks will begin the task of calling for donated furniture at Island homes later this week. The material will be assembled, inspected and renovated by the Red Cross and then placed in Army camps here.
She asked donors to call her at Port Blakely 454. The day rooms to be furnished are for the recreation of soldiers off duty but not permitted to leave their camps.

Island Exceeds $3,000 Quota for Red Cross!
Three Times Previous High Given
Bainbridge Island did the "impossible" by raising more than its $3,000 Red Cross War Fund quota!
With only incomplete returns at hand and still more reports to be turned in, Mrs. F. L. Shepard, Winslow, Red Cross chairman, said last night she was "positive" the goal was more than reached.
This meant that the Island had surpassed most of the nation, for - nationally - the Red Cross had asked supporters to "give double" this year. The Island, however, gave "triple," for its previous high-mark of collections was only $1,000.
The Island took particular pride in its achievement, for its goal was self-imposed - deliberately set at triple its previous high mark by Mrs. Shepard.
"The field workers just won't quit," Mrs. Shepard smilingly said after announcing the drive's success. "The girls keep telling me, 'Oh, just give it one more day, I've a few people I want to see.' Everybody, apparently, is going to get a chance to give."

3 Youths Get Prison Terms for Burglaries
Three youths who confessed to Island burglaries were given stern sentences by Superior Judge H. G. Sutton in Port Orchard this week.
Robert Lloyd, 16 years old, Tacoma was sentenced to a maximum term of not more than 15 years in the state reformatory for his part in the looting of the Bainbridge Auto Freight, Winslow. An accomplice, Edward Musser, Winslow, received revocation of a previously suspended 15-year reformatory term.
The pair stole $300 in a filing cabinet from the freight terminal.
Another 17-year-old Winslow youth was given a suspended sentence after he pleaded guilty to the burglary of Coombs' Grocery, Head of the Bay.
Still unsolved were the looting of three other Winslow establishments earlier in February.
Have New Residence
Mr. and Mrs. Glen Wise were moving this week from Mrs. Madelein Nieuwenhuys' house at Ferncliff to a nearby residence owned by Mr. and Mrs. Bob Weld, Seattle.
