VICTORY BELLES
ENTERTAIN SERVICEMEN SYDNEY, August 28. A Victorian, Mr. Gordon Currie, has come to Sydney to organise Victory Belles on the lines of an organisation in Melbourne which he says now numbers 9000. The belles are enrolled in groups of 10, each with its own chaperone to help to entertain servicemen at specially organised dances and also at their own homes. No belle may drink at a dance or leave a hall with a soldier while a dance is in progress. Soldiers may soe them home, but only if they travel by bus, train or tram. They must not take a taxi, if any one girl in a group of ten breaks any of these rules, she disqualifies all other members of the group from taking Pfrt \ n any more dances. It is not tha least likely, however, that Sydney girls will take to this form of regimented entertainment.
