SCHOLARSHIP DETAILS

In the announcement of the
Weyman Memorial Laboratory
Research scholarship, given by
Dr. Caryl P. Hasklns of the
Haskins Laboratories of New

General Electric company, who
did the electrical wiring for the
mines laid by Colonel Sewell
along the New England coast
during the Spanish-American
war, which incidentally were
the first mines ever used in this
country.
Mrs. Sewell said that it was
during their association in this
work that a devoted friend
ship was formed between Col.
Sewell, then lieutenant of engi
neers, and Mra. Hasklns, and
that years later when the son
Caryl was born, Col. 8ewell was
chosen as Godfather, making
his responses and assuming his
responsibilities by long distance
telephone, from Birmingham to
New York.
In her letter Mrs. Sewell said
"we have no 'kin' that Is nearer
or dearer than this godson of
ours. We have watched his car
eer with a pride and joy that
could not be augmented by any
blood tie, and he has given- us
care, thought, attention, love
and appreciation. So you see
how doar this scholarship U to
your little Mrs. Sewell."
The scholarship carries a sti
pend of $100.00 for fouf weeks'
work at the Laboratory.
After the war, helicopters,
Jeeps and other tools of war
will be used to fight forest fires
?but it isn't true that Army
coffee will be used to spray in
sect pests.

Letters signed 'gratfully yours'

young people, headed by Bud
Thompson, further entertained
them with a steak supper on

Two of the boys were only
seventeen. The third had his |
elgthteenth birthday Sunday,
and to this amazement and de- I
light Miss Ravenel had placed
beside his breakfast plate a
small birthday cake decorated
with candles.
Knowing Miss Ravenel, her
gracious manner and charming
home, with its magnificent views,
It Is quite understandable that
these young soldiers would sign
their thank you notes 'grateful
ly yours.'
