ftORE ABOUT Charles Curtis (Continued from Paee 1) Korea last July. Lt. Curtis is happy to be home extremely so but there is . tinge of regret in his voice as he speaks of his "buddies in hospitals in this country and Japan. He is a man who has deep concern for the welfare of his men and their safety. So anxious was he to get home that he gave up a huge public celebration and a $7 steak dinner in Seattle in order to catch a fast plane home, lie arrived early Sun day night after leaving Seattle be fore midnight Saturday, He flew all the way home. The figh'tinj in Korea is far dif ferent than what he experienced in World War II against the Ger mans. "The Reds move in waves attack in masses usually at gray, ish, dawn. While I never fought the Japanese, I understand the tactics of the Reds are similar in many ways,' he said. It was only natural that 'le oe asked his opinion of the MacAr-thur-Truman episode. With a dip lopia answer he said: "We got the news as we were leaving via ship for the States. We had just a short time before gotten our or ders to return home. I know how we felt about our orders; the Gen eral will have to speak for himself." The shij) was 14 days comins t over, with the elated troops. Lt. Curtis slipped out to the golf course the thud tee is almost his front yard and swung his clubs for the first time in almost a year. H leu good to ieel the turf un der my feet again, and hear the ball click." He hopes to get in about "15 full days" of golfing be fore leaving for his new assign ment. He shot at par on this course, and wants to get in some limber Ing up before starting the rounds. HI wounds ol last December will not in any way interfere with his game, he feels. In fact, he walked 12 miles after being hit with the bullets. He is. from 25 to 30 pounds lighter than when he went to Jap an in 194!). Although weary from the tiring trip home, he feels that lie will. begin to pick up strength and. weight soon. . '.'In Korea it is fighting every day and hard going at that the mountains are about twice as high as ours narrow crooked roads, many one-way, and extreme weath er. It is tough going any way you look at It over there," said the brittle-weary lieutenant. Although the army is his career, his life is wrapped up in his fam ily, and golfing. He has some 15 golf trophies about the living and dining rooms. inAaidditional..pjfoof , ,,that,i Hay, wood men are apt to be in the thick of whatever is going on, Lt, Curtis ran across two more from thrtounty In Korea. One was his own brother, Sam Glenn, whom he thoght to be in Japan but did not Birthday Party For Boy, 7, Hearing Death V 6 t r X f y , Merrill Hampton, 7, lies in bed at his home near Morganton, and waits for death. He has a brain tumor and doctors say he can t live long. And so his birthday anniversary was celebrated the other day with a party. Thirty of his former school mates attended and brought many gilts. His sister, Mary Frances (left), 3, and his brother, Mack, 5, stand by his bedside 'during the party and gaze at their brother with solemn faces. (AP Photo). Graduation calls for a celebra tion. Any girl or boy who has managed to get over the first, second or third hurdle in educa tion's steeplechase is ready to fete and be feted. You can make a rrad'uation party a gumma, summa cum laude affair by planning your in vitation, favors and games in the traditional spirit. Make your invitation a small replica of your diploma, putting the school name on top. Fill it in with the date of the party and sign it; underneath the signature write sometWing like "Dean of Rhennanigans". Your table setting should be know exactly where. With the aid of t he a u thorit ies, he. .loca ted Sam, and .got him on the phone to ar range their first reunion in two years. Another Haywood man anxi ous to swap news from home was Cpl. Medford "I can't think of his first name" of Clyde. something special. Before you start making favors stock up on the following essen tials: black mat stock. 5 and 6-inch round lace paper doilies, crepe paper in black, nile green and in your school culors, narrow satin ribbon. Then get out scissors, paste, scotch tape and spool wire and go to work. Mortar Board Place Mats . . . Cut out 14-inch square of black mat stock, A little to the right of the center of each square, paste a narrow strip of black crepe paper about 7 inches long with a tassel at the end. Make 'the tassel by binding together, in sheath-fashion, thin shred-like strips of black crepe paper. Then over the place where the strip was pasted down, paste an open circle of black crepe paper about 2 inches in diameter to represent part of the cap's trim. When you set the mats on the table, place each one so that the corners appear in the center of the place setting and the tassel hangs down between the corner on the right side and the corner nearest the guest. Diploma Napkin Rolls . . , Roll white linen or paper napkins to look like diplomas.' Tie each with a ribbon rosette in your school colors and place to the left of the Mortar Board place mat. "Fortune-Forecast" Centerpiece . , . This is the modal-winner of the table setting, serving the dual functions of a handsome table dec oration and a source of party fun. M;ike it out of a small shallow box i t r America's Largest and Finest Low-Priced Car! LARGEST! about 7 inches wide, 12 inches long and ZI5 inches deep. Cover with colored crepe paper. On each of the long sides, paste gold gum med letters reading "Class of 1951". Trim the box by pasting naives of 6-inch lacepaper doilies around the inside of the box rim. Then fill the box with "fortune forecasts". Each forecast should be written on a small piece of paper: Exam pies: "It's plain to see a dancer you'll be"; or "Hollywood will call Mary Small"; or "A bride you'll be before leaves fall from the tree"; or "You'll write to fame, we'll watch for your name", etc. lt is a good idea to choose your rhymes after considering the goal of the guest. Roll each of the forecasts In to a little scroll and add a party frill to it. The frill is made by cutting out the center of a 6-inch round doily inserting the scroll through the opening and gather ing the doily in a ruffle around the scroll with spool wire. Tie a satin ribbon with a long streamer to a forecast for each guest at the party, using school colors alter nately. The ribbons should extend from the centerpiece to each place serving. If, because of a shortage of guests, you must fill up the box, put blank scrolls in the bottom of itHnit do Hoi attach ribbons. The guests should be invited to pull the streamers just before they , leave the table, and read forecasts aloud. Graduation-Bouquet Place Card . . .

(Continued from page lj ing the golf course, as she provides a happy meeting of East and West A ruffled starchy white crocheted mat lies almost under the figure of a geisha girl in flaming red costume. A cabinet of light-color ed wood similar to many of the pine chests of this area turns out to be of Japanese make. "It was meant for a bar," Mrs. Curtis cop Jesses, "bui it's just right for a curio collection." An item in the collection is a set of delicate pups made for sake, the Japanese wine. looking for all the world like an arrangement for a dolls' tea party. 'They don t put their furniture together as well as we do here, she says, "just look at this. "This" is an open-shelved cabinet, with a Chinese or Japanese figure in each niche. The fronts of the two small drawers come off in her hands. "I'm going to have to get somebody around here to put it together properly, and then I'll put it on a solid base, the way they do over there." One of the articles in tahe cub by-holes is a hand-carved bear, fe rociously rael despite a slightly- chewed ear. "The pup got hold of the bear," Mrs. Curtis mourns, but come look at the bear in the wall plaque In the dining room." Across the room from the bear is the china cabinet, holding a 150 piece set of fragile, delicately-colored china that Mrs. Curtis brought safely home from Japan. There's also a set of chopsticks, and a rack to put them on. Lt. Curtis volun teers to show how to eat with chop sticks. He holds them with a prac ticed ease, but noticeably refrains from going after any food to prove that he could really keep from dropping it. "Come see the bedspread Charlie brought back," Mrs. Curtis Invites hospitably. "I haven't had time to put everything away that he's un packed all over the place, but you'll just have to see the color and the work on it." The spread is a bril liant blue, embroidered with tiny stitches in vari-colored flowers. It's long enoueh to pull un over the pillows if you want, or you can use the two pillow covers that match," Mrs, Curtis gestures, "and am so glad he broueht back this heavy silk. Those light silk covers ip around so they won't ever stay put." Another of Lt. Curtis' coming- home presents was a handsome silk kimono, in the same exquisite blue. Golden embroidery makes an eye- atchlng pattern across the back. The women can use these for shopping," Mrs. Curtis explains; You can see where there's space in those sleeves to put any number of small packages." Terry and Ronnie have presents. too-r-and Lt, Curtis didn't leave himself out on this particular item. All three have reversible jackets of colorfully embroidered silk. Drag ons swirl on a solid-color ground. Out of the cabinet of curios Mrs. Curtis draws a roll of paper remi niscent of a high school diploma. I'm going to have these framed," she says as she unrolls the wrap ping. The paper protects one large and several small prints hand painted on silk. Pictured in every shade on an artist's palette are more flowers, more dragons, and the ever-popular subject of Jap anese art, Fujiyama, the sacred mountain. "Did you notice my lamps?" Mrs. Curtis points to a pair of tall brass. "They were originally can dlesticks, but I knew when I saw them they would make beautiful lamp bases, so I brought them back here and a man in Waynesville electrified them." As soon as Lt. Curtis has found place for his family at Fort Jack- sqe; they'll be rdrv t;tieir way again. ('don't .'much tare where I live, as long, as, we,'re( all together," Mrs. Curtis admits. You can't help but have the feeling that wherever she goes, Mrs. Curtis will make a real home with a touch of the dogwood along Aliens Creek and a splash of the chrysanthemums of Japan.
