Soldiers To Get Road Building Practice On New Road Into Park Approximately 1,500 negro troops with white officers, report- j cd to be engineer corps men from Camp Sutton, arrived at Proctor ' Thursday, where they are sche duled to be based while building a ?'pioneer" road in the Great Smoky Mountains National pary as a practice project in mountain road building. The contingent brought approxi mately 150 pieces of equipment, in cluding buldozers, trucks and jeeps. J. Ross Eakin, park superinten dent, said several days ago that *ngin??rs were at work in the park running lines for the "pioneer" road, which will follow approxi^ mately the route of the relocation o f highway No. 288 from Bryson City to Fontana Dam, which will be flood :d by waters from the dam when it is completed. Mr. Eakin stressed the fact that the road will not be for use by the public, but added that it will be of considerable value to contractors in moving equipment into the mountainous area when construc tion of the permanent road is be gun. He said that the amount of work to be done on the project de pends entirely upon future orders received by the soldiers. Hors? sense is the kind a Jack mss lacks. Eyes Examined, Glasses Fitted DR.

Let's go to the Officers' Club and join in the fun." George Martin shook his head. Be fore he could welcome tne approach of another year he had a trouble some decision to make. The crowd ed streets, the milling people, the babbling groups headed for Times Square ? none of these signs of the coming of 1944 had power to lift him from Ills depression. His voice was solemn. ok mj |;iuuiCJiJ 1.1 mil wi it* personal angle," he said. "Tell me, Wallace, how would you feel tf you had been tcld you couldn't return to the school ship after the holi days?" "I'd feel bad, naturally. But not as if the world had come to an end." "You're jiot a sailor," returned Martin. "You don't understand what the school ship gets to mean to a fellow. It gets in the blood . . . under a man's skin." He listened carefully as Martin continued: "You should have seen Doyle's face when the Cadet Council told him he was through. It went white. It's not only the way a fel low feel* about it himself, it's a fel low's family . . ." Wallace was saying: "The school ship's not the only place of its kind" in the world. A fellow can still work his way up from the fo'c'sle, you know, and become just as good aft officer." They were walking along a water front street, now, past seamen's lodging houses. A row of men stood in line before the doorway of a Sailors' Mission. "Shipping's bad," volunteered one of the men. "No more ships. Can't get a job for love nor money. Got a cigarette?" Martin pulled a package of them from his pocket,' ottered - it. The "You're to report back to the school fih<p January 3." sailor took a cigarette eagerly, wait ed for a light. "Thanks, buddy." "See what a fellow's up against?" Martin said. "Even old-timers can't get ships. A youngster would have no chance at all." At the next stand he purchased a newspaper. He stood under a neon sign and opened it to the Want ads. "Look. Here are your shore jobs. Wanted: an office boy. Must run elevator. War.ted: boy to distribute handbills. Wanted: soda clerk. Are these anything for a fellow who really wants a sea career ? a mer chant officer's career, the whole world ahead of him. and a captain's berth at the end?" He threw down the newspaper. "I've made up my mind. Come with me," he said. At a small hotel for sailors, he turned in and inquired: "Doyle slop ping here? Thomas Doyle?" The clcrk thumbed through the register. "Number 1215." As George Martin entered the room,. Doyle sprang to his feet. He had been strctchcd out cn the nar row bunk, his face buried in the pillow. "I heard you hadn't gone home, Doyle." said Martin. Doyle's eyes were swollen and red. "I thought I'd rather stay here, sir . . . until after the holidays. Then I thought I'd get a ship? or a shore job. J couldn't face them at home, sir ... I just couldn't." Martin took out his watch. "If you can get out to the airport by one o'clock, you'll catch a night plane to Eangor. That's where you live, isn't it? Cot enough money?" "Yes, 1 have. But . . ." "Do as you're told," said Martin. "Your case has been up for con sideration since the holidays started last week. I've been thinking it over carefully, and will veto the ac tion of the Cadet Council. You're lc r?nort back to the school, ship on January u.ird, with the others. It'll be up to you to i.:ake cood. Those are orders." Th? boy's face was radiant. "Hap py New Year, sir! That's all I need ed, ?ir, to change the v hole world for me? another chance at the school ship!" "Funny old world," said George Martin, superintendent of the Nauti cal Training School, as he rejoined his friend in the lobby. "Another chance at the s-hocl ship . . . that's all Doyle needed to fare New Year." IfcClure Syndicate?
