Social and Club Activities Entertainer Credits Guardian Angel For Protection of Overseas Tours By DOROTHY ROE Associated Press Women's Editor Once upon a time there was a little little girl who lived in Pittsburgh, went to Mount Mercy academy, saved her allowance for tap-dancing lessons and dreamed of seeing her name in lights on Broadway. Dorothy Wenzel made the grade on Broadway, all right, had parts in several hit shows, worked for a while as a Powers model and then made a date with adventure. That was 10 years ago. Since then she has traveled close to a million miles and has seen more of such places as Okinawa, Guam, the Aleutians, Tokyo and Korea than she has of the lights of Broadway. Dorothy, a small and vibrant brunette whose eyes light up when she talks of America's fighting men, joined the first unit of USO camp shows at the beginning of World War II, when the organization was under direction of the Citizens' committee for the Army and Navy. She traveled to U.S. Army camps on truck shows at the beginning, then made five trips overseas during the war. She was with the first camp shows unit sent to Newfoundland, the and Cuba. She has traveled 90,-000 miles since last May. Back in New York for a brief breather, Dorothy said her next assignment probably would be with the first Z.I. (zone of the interior) camp shows unit, slated to entertain at atomic bomb bases within the United States. In her 10-year career with camp shows, Dorothy has had numerous narrow escapes. Camps have been bombed a few minutes after her troupe left, planes on which she was scheduled have crashed. But Dorothy is very much alive and eager for the next assignment. Says she: "I just trust my Guardian Angel. So far she hasn't let me down."

She traveled to U.S. Army camps on truck shows at the beginning, then made five trips overseas during the war. She was with the first camp shows unit sent to Newfoundland, the first in Europe, the first in the Pacific Theater. She was aboard the clipper which crashed with actress Jane Froman, but disembarked in Bermuda, five hours before the trip ended in tragedy. When the first camp shows unit was reactivated last May, Dorothy was on hand to M.C. the troupe of six men and three girls, and again was with the first unit to reach Korea. She says: "We lived in tents and mud, we gave shows right behind the front lines, we averaged three shows a day, traveling by truck, jeep or plane. We ate with the boys in mess lines, sometimes gave shows in the pouring rain—but the excitement of the boys at seeing some folks from home more than made up for all the hardships." "AT SOME OF THE bases the boys would try to put on a party for us, and decorate the table with wild flowers in tin can vases, or they would rig up a tent for us with ponchos. At one base they even provided dinner music—by Gi's playing harmonicas." After Korea, Dorothy and her troupe visited Tokyo hospitals, stopped at the Philippines, then were sent to Alaska and the Aleutians. She spent the Christmas and New Year holidays in Europe, where the company visited 14 countries in 10 weeks, giving shows to U.S. troops in Iceland, Greenland, Labrador, Newfoundland, England, Scotland, France, Germany, Austria, French Morocco, Trieste, Italy, Tripoli and the Azores. She was back in New York for one day, just long enough to exchange winter clothes for summer At Local Church A special program for youth night on Tuesday, April 22, at the Stanton Community church will feature an excellent motion picture, "The Bible on the Table," at 7:30 o'clock.

On Sunday the Roman Catholics will celebrate Easter at the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre, a service marked by the joyous ringing of many bells at the resurrection. Many Protestants will attend an outdoor sunrise service Easter morning at St. Andrew's churchyard. Good Friday devotional services were held in all churches of Western Europe—Catholic and Protestant alike. In London a three-hour service began at noon in Westminster Abbey. In Western Germany and elsewhere business places closed and government offices shut up for the week-end. Thousands of pilgrims from many parts of the world thronged St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City and Rome’s more than 400 other churches where the Mass of the Presanctified Host was celebrated. In this mass the host, or eucharist wafer, was consecrated on Holy Thursday and placed in a symbolic sepulchre to be consumed by the celebrants at today’s services. Later, Tenebrae services commemorating the death of Christ on the cross were celebrated in St. Peter’s and other Roman churches. At this service 15 candles are snuffed out, one by one, amid deepening darkness until only the topmost remains lighted. It is then hidden behind the altar. There is then a loud noise, representing the convulsion of nature at the time of Christ’s death, and the lighted candle, representing Christ, is restored to its place.
