Everyone Knows Miss Mable
But What's Her Last Name?
By Arnold Schulman
"Miss Mable" Mallett, Dean F.
Bradshaw's secretary has
been working on the campus 22
years, yet the chances are that
not that many people know her
last name.
She began work at the Univer
SJty as secretary to six men of
the extension department. She
worked there for four years then
left only to return again a short
time later and begin work as
-Dean Francis F. Bradshaw's
secretary. She has occupied this
position for 18 years and hopes
to continue that much longer.
Besides doing all the secreta
rial work for the busy dean, Miss
-"able also acts as a one-woman
reception committee for Dean
Roland Parker and Dr. W. D.

through her office to reach eith

The second V-5 instructor
training course to be conducted
at the Navy Pre-flight school will
begin tomorrow, according to an
announcement by Lt.-Comdr.
John P. Graff, commanding offi
cer of the station.
Lieut. William C. Clark, who
served as officer-in-charge of the
first course given here in Septem
ber, will serve in a similar ca
pacity again and will direct the
Naval indoctrination of the 125
V-5 instructors expected to re
port for the course.
The course which will continue
through December 26 is designed
o acquaint the new officers with
Navy customs and. traditions,
train them in the elements of
military drill and work them into
top physical condition for their
obs ahead.
Several more indoctrination
courses for V-5 instructors will
follow this one since the expan
sion of the physical training pro
gram for Naval aviators makes
it necessary to obtain additional
personnel to man the new sta
tions and to increase the number
of officers at the stations which
are being enlarged. Four simi

Advanced
Shifted to Raleigh
By Madison Wright
The University's $348,000 airport, which was destined to be
the finest college field in the nation, is largely inactive at pres
ent as a result of apathy on the part of the University itself,
investigation by the Daily Tar Heel revealed today.
At the very time when there is a critical need for pilots, the
advanced training course of the Civilian Pilot Training pro

'More Effort'
War Chest Drive
Hinges on Dorms
Following yesterday's report
of the failure of the two-week
$10,000 Carolina War Chest.
Bernard Moser, co-chairman,
called for "redoubled efforts" on
the part of Chest convassers dur
ing the two weeks that the drive
has been extended.
. At the same time, Harry Co
mer encouraged all those who
wished to contribute now to bring
their donations to the YMCA of
fice. "Anyone who does not wish
to wait to be reached, is urged to
stop in at the YMCA."
Moser again emphasized that
final success of the drive depends
to a great extent on "what the
workers in the men's dormito
ries, ineffective to date, do. If
they get to work and reach every
man in their section, I have no
doubt that the $10,000 goal can
be reached."
Sarah Sutton's girls' division
continued to report large dona
tions and "efficient canvassing."
Miss Sutton scheduled many
War Chest meetings in the coed
dormitories and, according to
Comer, "sparked the discussions
herself."
Bucky Osborne and Lee Le
vene, fraternity division heads,
asked all houses to report dona
tions as soon as possible. To date
only one-fifth of the fraternities
have reported to Comer. Al
though all these contributions
have been consistently high, Mo
ser and Comer asked for com
plete tabulations from this sec
tion as soon as possible so that
they could calculate what part
fraternity money will play in
reaching the $10,000 goal.

The planes of the basic course,

are at present housed in a leak

every other building on the place,
is neither weather or water

ing is nothing more than an out
dated shack with insufficient
heating and the student pilots
will be mostly unprotected this

there is no provision for heat at

A comparison of this and

the worst. From an administra
