Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 6th, 1944 RENDEZVOUS WITH RHYTHM Three little "debs," all brownettes and pretty, have made it their patriotic habit to climb into their car after the day's work's done and go off to the mil-itray camps to offer something tuneful for the boys. They visit the training centres in and about Halifax, they go into the canteens, and the hospitals, to give the men their favourite songs in the deb's own special manner. And for the boys out of reach of their concert car, the Three Debs sing every week over the CBC National Network in the Halifax broadcast of "Rendevouz with Rhythm." They will next be heard on Thursday, December 23rd, at 7.00 p.m. EDT. Maritimers all, the Three Debs run from left to right as, Grace McMurray, who is married to a navy man, Janet MacPherson, who keeps a daytime typewriter humming with victory business, and Doris Marsh, who is up to her musical ears in secretarial work. BBC PHOTOGRAPH ADMIRAL HAROLD STARK, Commander United States Naval Forces in Europe, giving a talk on Nelson at the British Broadcasting Corporation microphone. Sixty-two years old, genial and quiet-spoken, Admiral Stark has had an extensive experience at sea. The citation for his Distinguished Service Medal, won in the last war, notes his "efficient leadership in command of a Squadron of small and old destroyers hurriedly fitted out in the Phillipines, and dispatched to the Mediterranean at a season when the south-west monsoon was at its height." He is of the firm opinion that Britain and the U.S.A. must work together to safeguard peace after the war. BBC PHOTOGRAPH JOHN MORRIS, who regularly broadcasts to Japan from London, is the British Broadcasting Corporation's Far Eastern Program Organizer. He spent four years in Japan, as a University lecturer on English literature, and as an adviser to the Japanese Foreign Office. Because of this last, he was the only Englishman allowed to remain free after Japan entered the war.. Since his repatriation, th 1942, he has written a book on Japan called '"Traveller from Tokyo." He knows the Japanese language, but his broadcasts are given in English, which numbers of Japanese understand. Mr. Morris was formerly a major in the Gurkhas, in India, and knows the East Well.
