...took half his band into the merchant marine with him during the war, and is now making a comeback-without one of his earlier singing stars, Perry Como. Last week Weems & his band opened in a famous jive spot, the College Inn of Chicago's Hotel Sherman, the oldest nightclub in the U.S., where Jazzmen Benny Goodman, Woody Herman and Gene Krupa made some of their loudest noises, and biggest successes...
...much about the mail. But in one of the huts, jauntily labeled Ice Cap Inn, three girls of the American Red Cross battle the loneliness and-boredom which breeds cabin fever.They mend G.I. clothes, darn socks, organize skiing and fishing trips with dogged gaiety. They gallantly journey to the isolated outposts for dances.

...Contentment. To Americans, Quebec's best-known resort is Mont Tremblant, where lodge, inn and 60 cottages are laid out like a French Canadian village.

A short run away is a more typical Laurentian resort: Gray Rocks Inn, a sprawling, homey frame house where the food is substantial, the rates low ($5 to $7 a day, including meals), and good slopes and trails start at the back door. There, as in most of the lodges, expert and duffer alike turn out for ski-school lessons at rates which average $2 for a half-day. There are scores of others, from the stucco Chalet Cochand...
...much to expect that the "Progressive's" first voyage into the non-political field would be entirely successful. Two short, unsigned poems, "Dream Work" and "Projections," are bright and clever, but a short story, "The Damned," and a review of the French film, "It Happened at the Inn," are both weak. The story, which concerns the revelation of a crime committed by a just-buried and much-respected member of a farm community, is clumsy and underdeveloped. The author, who is anonymous, handles the dialogue with assurance, but otherwise his style is labored and often descends to jargon...
