Calling All Girls #40

This issue presents a mix of comics, movie features, and practical advice for girls. The main comic story follows Madame Ruse, a Belgian resistance fighter imprisoned by the Nazis, who escapes with help from an underground network and leads two thousand Belgian patriots on a dangerous train journey to freedom; the story concludes with the Allied liberation of Belgium in September 1944. The issue also includes movie features on "Anchors Aweigh" (starring Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly), "Utah" (a Roy Rogers western), and other Hollywood content, alongside a practical beauty and grooming advice column titled "Are you in the know?" that covers summer skincare, sun protection, and hygiene tips.
