ture stars have traveled a dis-
tance equal to more than 30
times around the world, enter-
taining the men in uniform or
making hundreds of speeches to
sell millions of dollars worth of
bonds. They go by plane, milk
trains, buses, and even motor-
cycles . . . work unbelievably
long hours . . . endure tremen-
dous physical strain. The Honor
Roll includes all the familiar
names: Auer, Breen, Berle,
Burns, Blondell, Benny, Brice,
Bruce, Cantor, Chaplin, Eilers,
and so on down the alphabet.
Prize for the greatest distance
covered goes to 56-year-old Al
Jolson . . . and he's just start-
ing. Award for greatest number
of appearances goes to the Ritz
Brothers with 66 to their credit.
Harpo Marx is near the top with

recognition from Secretary Mor-

tour. Leon Schlesinger's cartoon,
"Any Bonds Today?", produced

up the Treasury.
