In the language of 28 nations, it’s–
Wide World Features
The millions of peoples of the 28 nations fighting against the Axis say it in thousands of languages and dialects, but it all adds up to the same thing – V for Victory.
Put them all together and they’d make the Tower of Babel sound like an elocution-school commencement-day program.
In case you should want to greet some of your friends in the war slogan in their own tongue, here are phonetic translations of some of the more difficult ones:
Russian: Just say П Для Победы (P Dlya Pobyedy) and they’ll know what you mean.
Yugoslavian: В за победу (V za pobedu)
Norwegian: Vi Vil Vinne
Danish: V for sejr
Chinese: 勝是勝利 (Shèng shì shènglì)
Polish: V Znak Zwycięstwa
Czech: V pro vítězství

Jack Benny to adopt another child in fall
Hollywood (Wide World) –
Little Joan Benny, eight-year-old adopted daughter of comedian Jack Benny and Mary Livingstone, will have a little “sister” in the fall.
Jack says they expect to adopt another child, probably a girl, shortly after he concludes his present screen commitments.
Benny says:
We’ve been wanting another child, but we just haven’t had time to attend to the adoption matters.
From what home the child will be adopted is yet undetermined.
