Game — FRED HALL 236-12—248 In the ninth week the score is still in favor of BETTY GRABLE, but this time both LYNN BARI and GEORGE RAFT are giving her the rush! But the four-game lead that BETTY GRABLE has this week looks pretty good for the time being. This week JESS WOLF and his gang of WOLVES pulled one out of the bag by having A.C. BOB BOW in anchor spot. You did all right, BOB! See where your Cadet training and football playing certainly hasn't harmed your usual 190 bowling average — sorry you had to leave for Albuquerque again, because something tells me you and PAUL WURTZEL would have a good time slugging it out for first place in standings. How about it, PAUL? This week good bowling by — BEN CASS— 224-199-182— 605; PAUL WURTZEL—223; RALPH HICKEY— 223; WIMPY WISE — 221; M. MORGAN — 219; BOB BOW — 217; RAY FERREL — 216; HAL BOW— 214; GEO.

Game — SID PECK 200-28—228 The tenth week opened with a Captains' meeting to discuss the problem of allowing Twentieth Century Fox Service Men, who are on furlough, to bowl In the League; that Is if there happens to be an opening on some team that night of bowling. There seemed to be some objections on the part of a few members of the league — but it seems to me that if the Studio is willing to keep these boys on an Inactive payroll and the Studio Club carries them on its Service Lists, the least we can do is give them a chance to bowl with us If they are that Interested in our league to come down to the alleys and are willing to bowl for someone who may be absent. This would certainly show our boys our good sportsmanship and also give them something to remember when they return to Camp, and really something to look forward to when they have another chance to come home again. BETTY GRABLE's TEAM Is still holding the lead — and as the games roll by, they are widening their lead by more points. This week they are out In front by a margin of five games. Outstanding bowling this week from MICKEY MORGAN— 217-192-204— 613; PAUL WURTZEL — 212-210-190 — 612; HAL BOW— 198-193-218— 609; L. HARTIN — 233; R. ALEXANDER — 225; AL SWEITZER— 219; J.

FRANK B. DESSLER, Chief Clerk at the Mill Office at Western Ave. FRANK B. DESSLER, the second highest member of the TCF family in point of blood donations (listed on page 8) has had a very interesting life up to this point, and we predict an equally interesting and exciting life for the balance of his years. Frank was born In Chicago in 1908, and at an early age went to Europe with his parents, where his father was engaged as a representative of an American transportation company. Frank was educated In Norway, Germany, Russia, France and England. He' became acquainted with the Prussian methods of discipline while attendlnq school In Germany — engaged in fisticuffs with the "lehrer" and was expelled, much to his delight. During the first world war while still in Europe, Frank was on a train bound for France when a bomb hit the car Immediately behind the one in which he was riding, and another time, while out in a sailboat, he was shelled by a German sub. Frank was 14 when he returned to the U. S. and, as he says, "got In a few licks at college" and then was employed variously, including newspaper work. He worked in the picture business In 1928 and 1929, left it for other fields, returned In 1941 and was employed by TCF In 1942. As soon as war broke out, Frank devoted his efforts voluntarily to the American Friends Service Committee (a Quaker Group), the French War Relief, the Committee for the Care of European Children, and other organizations. Frank Is married to a charming young lady by the name of Elsie, and his two ambitions are to be a director In the moving picture business and to own a home high in the hills of California. SHAVINGS FROM THE MILL By A. P. "WHIZZER" WHITE Well Fellas — Roosevelt's been reelected and some propositions have been defeated. Armistice Day was observed (we hope a new Armistice is near), another Thanksgiving has rolled around, the end of the war is coming and so is Christmas. Our Mill was turned Into a busy workshop for Santa Claus. RAY CONWAY & Co. turned out over 900 scooters, doll beds, kiddie kars, ironing boards and wagons for the Studio Club. These gifts will be presented to the kiddies at our annual Christmas party at the Carthay Circle Theatre. After enjoying (?) JOHNNY RIGGS' presence for three months, we had to lose him again to Western Ave. It seems Johnny has had three eye infections since being out to the hills, probably caused
