THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER
Sgt. Smith Back
After 32 Months
In Air Force
Member Of Ground Crew,
Has Helped Keep Planes
Flying In Southwest
Pacific.
Tech. Sgt. Charles Smith is home
for the first time since he enter
ed the Air Force 32 months ago.
During these 32 months he has
seen a greater part of the world,
especially much of that area in the
Southwest Pacific.
For 18 months Sgt. Smith was
in New Guinea, and for eight more
months was in Australia, for a
total of 27 months in all in the
"land down under."
He gets a 20-day leave at home
before leaving for a rest period in
Miami. From there he does not
know where he will be sent.
While down in the South Pacific
area, it was his job to help keep
the big war birds in the air. Motors
would be overhauled out in the
open, rain or shine, and the planes
kept ready for action, and during
a raid, the ground crew stayed on
the job and saw that not a prec
ious minute was lost.
"There have been changes made
here in the 32 months," he said,
"but I know almost everything that
has happened because I've kept up
through The Mountaineer. Some
times I would not get a copy for
six weeks, then here would come
in six copies along with a lot of
other mail. I would start with the
oldest issue and read every word
in it and go right through every
copy. I sure enjoyed seeing those
papers come. I don't believe I
missed a single issue during the
entire time.
Before entering the Air Force,
Sgt. Smith worked for Smith's
Transfer Company here. He has
a brother, Pvt. Francis Smith, in
the medical corps in England. They
are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Smith, of Waynesville.

RINGS
THE BLACK BEAUTIES OF
THE TROPICS
The ring that is carved by hand
from the nut of the corozo tree,
from the land of the Boriquen In
dians. The im. pearl is inlaid
with great skill, and to make one
of these rings, a native must work
all day long. Many legends are
heard about this ring, many na
tives believe it to be a token of
good luck, and that when they
give one to the best girl then no
other guy can get that girl. If all
the natives claim about this ring
were true, it would be some ring.
All we know is that before the
war we purchased several hundred
of these rings, and sold them for
11.00 each. We have about 100
of them on hand and we are going
to sell them
