Since she first appeared with Judy before an audience in June, 1941, Shirley has performed nearly 300 times, mostly at service shows and, lately, on the air. Her grown-up manner is high-lighted by Judy's unquenchable juvenility.

While the treasury department is optimistically urging everyone to make provisions for paying their Income taxes on March 15th, realistic tax experts are predicting that the government will have one of the worst collection problems in history. The tremendous shift in population to defense areas means that new addresses will be untraceable in many cases, also that it will take months to locate delinquents, many of whom never before paid federal imposts and thus do not understand revenue laws. Hardships will be inflicted upon persons with Axed wages who have signed leases or are making payments for the purchases of homes now beyond their means.

Still greater burdens are in the offing, for the treasury department is disappointed with returns from voluntary bond sales, regardless of Morgenthau's pep talks, and will ask congress to pass a law for compulsory savings. All this means that tax revenues will be far under the estimate of the treasury. Today merchant ships carry units of "cataflght-ers."
