Mom Waits At Home
Four Brothers Together,
Yet Far
By MARY COWLES
ETOWAH, (AP) The play
ing field next to a log house
under the willows beside O 1 d
Highway 64 is abandoned now,
and the deer and rabbits are
promised a safer season.
For four of the five Day boys
William, Bud, Larry and Ha
ry who romped their way to
victory in all kinds of athlet
ics and who were avid hunters,
are not playing games this
year. The hunting they're do
ing now is not for sport. J
They have joined the armed
forces and all four brothers
are serving in the Viet Nam
war.
And Mickey, the youngest,
iust turned draft age, is miss- '
ing his brothers badly and is
putting fn too many hours wor
king with his dad to give
thought to games or hunting.
SCHOOL PLAYGROUND
Time was when the field at
thje Calvin Day home looked
like a" school Ttfayground. And
the boys rail "within five years
of each other in age, boasted
that they could form a team
for almost any game. Crowds
of children always gathered a-t
round them. '
"I guess," said Mrs. Day,
Vthat's what we miss the most
the children playing out
?ere on the field."
Although the Day parents
have more at stake in the war
in Viet Nam than mot, they
make no fu's about it. They

ar quietly, prayerfully proud
of their sons.
Clearly, the seven members
of this family feel strongly
about fheir country's obliga-
tions and their resDonsibilities
as individuals to help meet
them. They are strangers to
self - pity.
"I imagine," Mrs. Day said,
"that Mickev. being the young
est, has had his orders from
his brothers to try to stay home
as long as he can and help
us. T don't know what his dad
would do without him. either,
with the others gone and
hIo so hard to get.
"But when the time comes,
if he feels that he has to go,
T couldn't ask him not to just
for our sake."
3 SEAMEN
Three of the bo vs enlisted
in the Navv in 1964. Harry,
one of the twins who will be
20 in October. .w the first,
entering in Julv. He now is . a
radioman, 3rd class, serving on
"SH-ESTT
William. 23. oldest of t h e
boys, enlisted the following
month. He is an aviation con
trol system technidian. 3rd
class, serving on the aircraft
carrier FDR.
Bud, Followed suit, becoming
a hospital corosman. 3rd class,
assigned to the Marine Croos.
Navy recruiters wanted all
four and tried to enlist Larry,
but he waited for the draft
and entered the Army. On the
day he took his Army physi
cal, Mrs. Dav said. ' he ran
uo on the norch in high spirits
and shouted:
"Hey! Know what? I made
it!"
"Larry had Dolio when he
was small," his mother ex
plained, "and although it nev
er stooped him from playing
football or doing anything else,
he somehow got the notion he
would be rejected. And he iust
Dut off finding out for sure. But
he was a haDpy bov when he
knew he could go." Larry is
now a private first class, with
the 410th Transport Co.
Harry has been in Viet Nam
since April l and Bud arrived
early in August. The first
bombing missions from Bill's
ship were Aug. 10.
NOT TOGETHER
So far the brothers have
been unable to get together,
although all four are aware
that the others are somewhere
near. Harry and Larry, the
iwms, ininK tney may be able
to see each other before long.
Harry will be in Nha Trang
soon, about 35 miles from Larry-

'.'And Larry thinKs he is
about 200 miles from Bud, but
I think it is a little farther.
They are writing to each oth
er, and trying to arrange what
they call R and R rest and
recreation leave, but their let
ters may have to come to San
Francisco and be sent back be
for they get them."
Mail time, naturally, is the
big event of every day for this
household.
"When the mail comes, we
are at the post office," the
boys' father said. "Eight-thir-ty
every morning that's the
only mail that brings letters
from overseas."
Mrs. Day said they had
heard from all four the week
before. "And we got three let
trs yesterday and three to
day. However, two were from
Larry each day, and one from
Bill. ;;.
"They do write the most en
couraging, wonderful letters," J
- she-said. ;"We -get no c o m
Dlaints from them. All are en
thusiastic about what they're
doing, love their work and
what they are learning. Larry
is rlways writing about the
good food. And Bud got to go
with thQ doctors into Vietna
mese villag s to treat the sick
and he loves that. He might
just become a doctor some
day."
The van array of football,
baseball and basketball troph
ies glerming on the mantl and
atop the television set in th
Da.y home are evidence that
all five of the Day boys are
winners.
Three impressive troDhies.
given by radio station WHKP
the oustanding football team
member, were won by three of
the brothers in three consecu
tive years. The winners are
chosen by the team.
There are many others, in
cluding the Great Lakes Com
mander's Cup and the Great
Lakes Intramural Champion
Football awsrd, won last year.
"But those," Mrs. Day was
quick to .explain, "are team
awards, not for individual per
formance. Anyway, I think a
little too much .has been made
of the boys' athletic achieve
ments. After all, with five of
them so near the , same age,
they could get a lot more prac
tice." 1

Keep Your Form Graceful
Lauundry Soaps
Threat To Life
ROME (UPD The detergent-happy
housewife with her
determination to get everyth
ing cleaner and whiter is a
menace to humanity.
So warns Josef Zimmerman,
an Israeli irrigation and sew
age engineer who acts as con
sultant to the United Nations
Food and Agriculture Organi
zation (FAO).
Zimmerman, temporarily at
at FAO headquarters here is
convinced mankind faces the
threat of mass poisoning un
less it drastically curbs ineffi
cient sewage disposal, which
is agravated by growing use
of detergents in the home and
- by industry..,,-... . ,K . ,
The trouble is most deter
gents do not disintegrate but
remain in the water or seep
into the ground. There they
kill fish and destroy bacteria
necessary to break down hu
man wastes. They even pene
trate back into drinking water
supplies.
REAL DANGER
"We are in real danger of
poisoning ourselves with our
own waste matter. The prob
lem is so acute that it must
be tackled immediately on an
international scale," Zimmer
man said in an interview.
The Israeli expert said that
the soap industry has made
some progress in developing
detergents that will disinte
grate in water and in the
ground but "not nearly enough
is being done to introduce
them."
"In America recently," he
said, "I was horrified to find
that housewives are being told
through advertising to buy
various brands of detergents
because they contain boron.

"Boron, which has become
the magic word, in detergents,
is a chemical element which
certainly helps to give the kind
of miraculous results that de
tergent manufacturers claim.
But it also interrupts biologi
cal action, killing not only fish
and other fresh water creatur
es but also destroying the bac
teria which break down human
wastes," Zimmerman said.
In America and other coun
tries, boron, perborate bleach
es and other detergents have
seeped through the soil into
the groundwater and found
their way into drinking water
supplies.;, "That is, , why in a
number of American . cities
you get what looks like a glass
of soapy water when you turn
the tap on," he said.
Zimmerman became a cru
sader for "non-persistent de
tergents" the kind that break
up and disappear eventually
because his main professional
interest is promoting the use
of treated sewage for irrigat
ing farmlands.
Sewage water is fine for ir
rigating many crops but not
if it contains heavy concen
trations of "persistent deter
gents." 1 Divide 30 by 2

Who will be chosen to cheer
next year's Tar Babies on to
victory?
A pretty active, pretty loud
and just plain pretty group of
freshmen vied for the honor
Thursday before a panel of jud
ges at Kenan stadium.
No matter who finally pass
ed inspection, a good time was
had by all, especially the
group of guys that gathered to
watch the girls go through
their routines.
The duties that a Carolina
cheerleader are required to
perform and the skills that
she must have are many. But.
basically they add up to two
things: jump around and yell.
If the group that tried out
this week for the freshmen
squad could do nothing else,
they could do that that
jumped around and yelled to
the oint of exhuastion.
So much in fact that our
snap - happy photographer ran
out of film trying to capture
them all in pictures.
