' Multiply that Incident many times,
and you have an Idea of a small part
of the work being done in Fort Bragg
repair shops by soldiers of the com
paratively new 53rd Quartermaster
Regiment.
I Under the command of Lieut. Col.
Walter C. Thee, of Southern Pines,
the 53rd is living up to its motto,
“We Serve,” printed in Latin under
the crossed connecting rods and gear
on their regimental insignia. Its per
sonnel, according to Capt, H. M. Wil
son, of Stuarts Draft, Va., the adju
tant, has pledged itself to “do work
on Army vehicles as well as we would
want it done on our own property."
In order that they may fulfill that
pledge, the regiment has sent many
soldiers to Quartermaster Schools and
private plants to study. .Some have
learned about all there is to know
about tire repairing at a tire factory
in Akron, O., while others have re
ceived their mechanics’ diplomas from
the Holsblrd Motor School, Balti
more, Md.; the David Kankin School]
at St. Louis, Mo., and the mechanics’
school at Ft. McPherson.
Benofito of the 53rd’s work will be|
felt by the Army long after these I
current maneuvers are ended. For the!
soldier mechanics aren't merely re
pairing faulty vehicles—they're try-|
ing to find out just what is responsi-l
ble. For example, numerous trucks
of one particular make came In for
repairs because they “steer hard," It
was discovered that the steering-gear
assembly parts weren’t strong enough
for the demands placed upon them
by Army demands. This was report-1
"d to Washington, and now that par
ticular motor plant is using heavier
parts on all Army vehicles.
Accidents are re.sponsible for only
about ten per cent of all the work
being done here by the Quartermas
ter men who have charge of major
repairs on the thousands of vehicles
u.sed in the First Army war games.
The Wg reasons why lights burn'
late in the shops these rights arc I
tho.se same bugaboos which caujjel
civilian motorists to tear their hair;i
bad pi.ston rings, loose steering co!-i
umns, broken springs, the hundred!
and one other ailments suffered at
one time or another by even the best
of machine.
And, ju.st as the civilian takes his
car around to the neighborhood me
chanic, the maneuver-drivers come to
the Qiiartermaster’.s mechanic here.
The 240 or so soldiers in Companies
K and L of the 53rd Q. M. Regiment
have repairiHl a totol of some 1200
trucks and HO motorcycles since the
simulate'! warfare began two months
ago. Most of the troops are in the job
from 7 r.'iO in the morning until 10 at
night—hammering fenders into shape,
soldering broken loints, overhauling
motors, even puttinc on such fini.sh-
ing touches as a bit of. new upholstery
here and a dab of paint there.

One of Cameron’s best-known and
longest residents was laid to rest last
Sunday afternoon. F^meral services
for Mrs. Loula Mclver Muse were con
ducted Sunday afternoon at the Pres

of Andrew H. Muse and was 77 years
old.
Mrs. Muse died unexpectedly la.st

the county. She was born near San
ford, when it was still a part of Moore
County, and moved to Cameron upon
her marriage to the late Mr. Muse.
She was a life-long member of the
Presbyterian Church.
Mrs. Muse was graduated from Old
Peace Institute in Raleigh in 1882 at
the age of 18, majoring in art and
elocution, both of which subjects she
taught for a number of years. There
is scarcely a home in the village that
does not boa.st hand-painted china
and pictures, made by Mrs. Muse's
students. She left the imprint of her
education on the entire comnnmlty.
The one-room school building in the
church grove has long since been torn
down, blit her teachings live through
out the section.
When her husband, whom «hc mar
ried in 1887, di'-d in 1896, shf> planted
a seedling magnolia by hjs grave
side. Now this tree has grown to great
size and shades the two, reunited af
ter 47 years.
