You know the artist often sees things that the average person misses. Maybe we aren’t artists because our vision isn’t quite that good. How about you?

Well, girls, if you are interested in keeping your school girl com plexion, please report to Edith S. She has an interesting method of applying carbon paper. It makes the skin soft and appealing and even adds a touch of color. When the moon comes over the mountain—Ruth, it must be per fectly wonderful to watch the moon come up so early in the morning with the beautiful sun glinting on it. Here’s a tip for you: just be careful not to get moon-struck. Did you see those generous smiles lighting up Ruth A’s face one morning ^ when she came bouncing into the locker room and proudly announced, “Well, girls, he’s here.” That, we persume, is one of our heroes in the fighting forces. At any rate, best of luck for a happy furlough, Ruth. We are sorry to have lost one of our gang since our last report. But here’s to you! Our best wishes for a nice trip to California, Geraldine. Did I hear someone mention ice cream? I don’t wonder at Willa Beth R’s. bubbling over with joy at work on swing shift Thursday night. Bruce T. seems very liberal with ice cream, doesn’t he, Willa Beth? Um-n-n. We like ice cream, too. We are glad to welcbme Ralph Smith and Russell Mason on our Hoeing For Victory p^ipp ^t. R. F. Johnston Is Killed In Action Like Father, Like Son—^Here is the pictorial proof that George Love is teaching his son, John, wliile he is young the art of the hoe. Here they are in his Victory potato patch. Mrs. Robert F. Johnston, of Brevard, received notification from the war department July 16f, that her husband, Lt. Johnston, was killed in action in the Southwest Pacific on July 11. Lt. Johnston, who had been-in foreign service one month, was a bomber pilot. He was the only son of Mrs. Robert A. Johnston and the late Mr. Johnston, of Colum bus, Ohio, and Miami, Fla: One sister also survives. Mrs. Johnston is the former Miss Christine Yongue, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Yongue, of Brevard, where she has been residing the greater part of the time since her husband entered military service one month ago. Mrs. Johnston works in the of fice at Ecusta. shift. We sincerely hope they like us and will make their stay a long one. By the way, how’s your goat farm coming on out at Osceola Lake, Lynn? Baa! Baa! No wonder Gracie P. seemed so happy during the past two weeks, after what that fortune teller told her. We still don’t beleive it’s all true, Gracie. Boy, oh boy! The ,effects from the sun and the recent horseback ride was really terrific, says Lucy M. We certainly are a curious lot, but, never-the-less, can’t help won dering how Wanda’s pleasure trip to Canton turned out. Bet she had a swell time. Was the movie inter esting, Wanda? We have two swell ones in Brevard. Shook, what is one your mind? You look rather bewildered these days. Yeah, we know, plenty of hard work. Cheer up, pal, Farmer will soon be back and releive you of part of your burdens. Levonne, we’ve missed you ter ribly during your illness and we sincerely hope you will soon be well and back among us. It seems that Inez L. is very happy now that she is back home on No. 14 Rewinder.
