SINGING PRIVATE DUMB-BIMSI

WINS BIG PRIZE

That lovely Italian song, “Santa Lucia,” has just earned a 19-year-old private in the Royal Army, Medical Corps £2,000.

He is Pte Edwin Roberts, and he sang it with typical Latin bravurn and with rare feeling at the London Coliseum to win the first prize in the broadcast fint of a Talent contest, directed and compered by that ebullient Cánadian entertainer, Carroll Levis.

Yet Edwin has only had nine] months voice training in his young life; he does not know Italian: he has never, even left the shores of Britain.

The Coliseum show Was the clunox of year's nation-wide hunt for latent talent among would-be stars of stage, radio and screen, in which thousands of competitors took part in over 360 eliminating contests in almost every county.

"Stare of tomorrow" Edwin Roberts is at present a medical or derly in the hygiene department of an Army Medical College in London District. A quiet, unassuming lad, he's been wearing battledress since November, 1945, Dofore that, ho spent two years pushing a

Yellow and red golds are the favourite metals for mounting precious and semi-precious stones today. A great many of the now jewel designs showing nt the British Industries Fair. which opened in London and Birmingham last week, demon- strated this new trend.

The fashion, to some extent, is based on the state of the world mar- silver ket. In days of abundance,
