...Brucie, coal-black cocker spaniel owned by Herman E. Mellenthin of Poughkeepsie, N. Y.: the Westminster Kennel Club best-in-show, crowning glory in a dog's life; for the second year in a row; outshining 2,547 rivals; at Manhattan's Madison Square Garden. With rosettes aplenty, five-year-old Brucie will show no more, "except where he never has been shown before." >Dimpled Mary Rose Thacker, 18, of Winnipeg: the biennial North American ladies' figure skating championship; for the second successive time; by a wide margin over Toronto's Eleanor O'Meara...

After everybody digs a bit more, Gene Cedric (who, incidentally, is probably the most unappreciated jazz musician alive), slips in a tenor ride passage and Herman Autrey a trumpet. Finally, Fats takes the release, and by the time everybody else comes in for a terrific finish on the last eight bars, the tune is properly murdered. And I don't know of any small band that can take a finish the way Fats and his boys...
...this uncordiality, said the soldiers, was the result of patiently spread German propaganda to the effect that Iceland and Germany were brother States. Three years ago Poet Auden reported seeing Herman Goring's brother in Reykjavik and hearing that Nazi Mystagogue Alfred Rosenberg was soon to come. British found large areas where the shale had been scraped away apparently for landing fields. The occupation of Iceland, uncongenial though it might be, seemed worth the price as a preventive...
