It’s been a long, hard road for a former German war bride but Mrs. Hildegard Webb has made an exceptionally fine record at Wake Forest College. The story of the Webbs began in Wiesbaden, Germany, in the summer of 1947. Hildegard Buse, daughter of Theodor and Katha- rina Busse, took a job as a typis in the Air Inspector’s Office of the Air Force which was quarlcr- ed in Wiesbaden. Sergeant Marvir Webb, an American from FoUn tain, N. C., was stationed then with the troop information edu cation section of the Army. Hilde gard and Marvin were attracted tc each other immediately and in ? few months they became engaged After months of waiting in which they filled out numerous forms & underwent considerable Army red tape, they were married in Apri 1948 in the Luthern Church. They had passage on an air plane going to the States but the unexpected Berlin airlift put a halt to that. They had to change their plans and Marvin came alone on a boat to New York in Aug. He enrolled at Wake Forest College in September to begin on his college education. Marvin hurried back to New York in mid- October to meet Hilda’s boat and he brought her back to Wake Forest. Hildegard enrolled at Wake Forest in January, 1949, and ex cept for the ssummer of 1949, went straight through and gradu ated in August, 1952. Marvin finished three months earlier in June. Hilda majored in French & minored in Education while her husband majored in History- Government and minored in Ed ucation. She was elected into Phi Beta Kappa, highest scholastic academic fraternity, and graduat ed Magna Cum Laude. Both were members of Sigma Pi Alpha, national honorary modern langu ages fraternity. Worked Way Through College Although Marvin went to school under the GI Bill of Rights it wasn’t enough to get them both through College so each had to work part-time. Both worked in the College Cafeteria one year & Hilda served as a student assistant Continued on Page Four GIRL SCOUT WEEK IS OCT. 26 to NOV. 1 Girl Scout week will be celebrat ed October 26—November 1.

We still haven’t managed to get back to where we were before we took off for the wild north. Thus, we have been rather lax in getting our story about Canada to you. After we left the Olde Englishe “beanery” we last told you about, we decided to look in Toronto for a place to stay. (Now, we found tourist homes the nicest places for our overnight accomodations; for two reasons — (1) they are easy to find, inexpensive — we’re only pore newspaper folk; and (2) I can always find someone to talk to in the friendly environment of a “home.” NICKEL PHONE CALL IS THING OF THE PAST The nickel telephone call will become a thing of the past in the Wake Forest area this week as the Carolina Telephone & Telegraph Company makes the change from five cents to a dime pay station operation. This announcement was made today by H. N. Kerman, lo cal telephone company manager. In May, North Carolina Utili ties Commission ordered the Caro lina Company to increase the charge for local pay station calls from 5c to 10c. Since that time, the Company has been making the change in one telephone exchange at a time. Fayetteville, Rocky Mt., Jacksonville, Wilson, New Bern, and Greenville have already been placed on dime pay telephone operation. When the change is completed. Wake Forest pay telephone users will have to deposit a dime to complete a local call. Instructions for operation of the pay stations will be posted on every public telephone. Kerman, the Wake For est telephone manager, pointed We traversed the entire city lim- out that these instructions call for of the ctiy. We’d see, hopefully. The gal, a cute red-head who takes her vacation in, you guessed it. North Carolina, at the tourist in formation booth in Toronto told us that we’d have oodles of nice homes to choose from. Taking her at her word, we started thru the Capital city, which was now cloaked in its nocturnal nightcap (that means it was dark, I think). We looked and we looked and when we got tired of looking, we looked some more — but no tourist homes were around. They were scarcer than a Republican in No’th Ca’lina (not the Eisenhower Democratic variety, though). WAKE FOREST GIRL SCOU IS TO SEIT. COOKIF.S ON FRIDAY tec ro suy COOKIES For all Girl Scouts, the dates October 24 through November 10 are very important. They include a variety of activities. The annual cookie sale begins with distribution of cookies to all Scouts on October 23 in front of the High School at 3 p. m. The sale will close on Nov. 10, but all unsold cookies and money must be turned in to the troop cookie chairman, Mrs. Leonard Shearon, by 6 p. m., November 8. use of a dime and added that two nickels will not work for local calls. DR. WILKINSON ATTENDS HEAI.TH COUNCIL MEET Dr. C. T. Wilkinson as request ed by the president of the Medical Society of North Carolina attended ■ he Rural Health Council meeting in Raleigh.. About three hundred represent atives from various organizations interested in health were present. Dr. Wilkinson said the Medical Society played a leading role and was well represented. DOWN TO 28 TUES. MORN We hear that the thermometer went down to 28 degrees on Tnesday morning, Oct. 21. Do not know if this is a “new low” or not — hut do know that it was darned cold, after the sum mer weather we have been hav ing for the past 2 weeks. Ice on chicken drinking water pans was reported and we can guess that “frost” was on top of more than one set of bed quilts overnight. a neon light way up ahead, and as we got toward it, we were sure that we were in sight of one of those “plentiful” tourist homes — but alas, it was only a doctor’s sign or a paint sign, or something. Now, long about this time not only discouragement was upon us, we were getting road weary! Which wasn’t too unusual, be cause we had been riding, seeing and sighting for about 13 hours. Well, at last, up loomed a sure thing — just like betting on Um- stead to be the next governor of N. C. We stopped, went up tiredly to the door and after waiting for ten minutes for the man of the house to appear, he opened the door and greeted us with, “Oh, I’m so sorry; I meant to take the sign down last week — when we stopped taking in tourists.” We didn’t think it could happen to us! but it did. But he did direct us to a place up the street (it seemed like it was about 25 more miles). And there we stayed — after informing the woman that we just wanted to stay in the room for one night — Continued on Page Four
