Do not confuse the apple mug- got. which makes small tunnels in- side the fruit, with the codling moth larvae, which makes large worm holes on the outside of the apple.

Copy- right. i943) I.ON'DON.—When the time for recognition of service to the na- tion in war time comes to be con- sidered. Bob Hope should be high on the list. This man drives him- self and is driven. It is impossible to see how he can do so much, can cover so much ground. can work so hard and can be so ef- fective. He works month after month at a pace that would kill most people. Moving about the country in camps. airfields. billets. supply de- pots and hospitals. you hear one thing coming. or Bob Hope has been here. The Secretary of War is on till inspection tour. but it is Bob Hope who is expected and remem- bered. In some way he has caught the soldiers‘ imagination. He gets laughter wherever he goes from men who need laughter. He has created a character for himself that of the man who tries too hard and fails. and who boasts and is caught at», it. His wit is caustic, but it is never aimed at People, but at conditions and at ideas. and where he goes men roar with laughter and repeat his cracks shows a day. In some camps the men must come in shifts because they cannot all hear him st the some time. Then he jumps into a car, rushes to the next poet, and because he broadcasts and ovary. one listens to his broadcasts. be cannot use the same show more than n few times. He must. in the midst of his rushing and playing, build new shows constantly. If he did this for a while and then stooped and took a rest it would be remarkable. but he never rests. Arid he has been doing this ever since the war started. His energy is boundless. Hope takes his shows all over. It isirt only to the big camps. In little groups on special duty you liear the same thing, Bob Hope is coming on Thursday. They know weeks in advance that. he is com- lng. It would be rather a terrible think if he did not show up. Per- haps that is some of his drive. has made some kind oi con- tract witl-i tiimself and with the men that nobody. least of all Hope. could break. It is hard to over- estimate the importance of this in. thin! Ind the responsibility volved. ‘Ilhe battalion of men who are moving half tracks from one place to another, doing a lob that ttets no headlines, no public notice. and yet which must be done if there is to be a victory are forgotten, and they fieel forgotten. But Bob Hope is in the country. Will he come to them. or won't he? And then one day they get a notice that he is coming. Then they feel remem- bered. This man in some way has become that kind of n bridge- It Koes beyond how funny he can be or how well Frances Langford sings. It has been interesting to see how he has become a symbol. Must Lead Life of Symbol This writer, not knowing Hope, can only conjecture what goeg on inside the man. He has-seen hor- rible things and has survived them with good humor and made them more bearable. but that doesn't happen without putting n wound on amen. He is cut off from rest. and even from admit'li1g1 weariness. Havlnl become n srm. boi. he must lead n symbol life.
