SCOUT COMMITTEE WILL MEET AT CHURCH TONIGHT The Transylvania district Boy Scout committee will meet tonight at 7:30 o’clock at the Brevard Methodist church and all members are urged to attend, Chairman E. H. McMahan stated today. “At no time in the history of the United States have the Boy Scouts of America been in a position to make a greater contribution to the present and future welfare of our country,” he stated. “The boys in our armed forces are the grandest people in the world to sing for,” Adelaide Van Wey Hill declared here Saturday. Mrs. Hill, who has been spend ing the summer here visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Silver steen, has returned to New York city to resume radio and concert work. Last year Adelaide, as she is affectionately known in Brevard, sang to over a million boys in service. Under U. S. O. sponsor ship. she gave numerous per formances in three states and participated in a great many shows for the merchant marine. Appreciative Audiences “I love to sing to the boys be cause they are the most apprecia tive audience I have ever had and because I am profoundly grateful for the sacrifice they are making for the cause of liberty,” she said with feeling. This year she plans to devote even more of her time to singing at various army camps and naval centers. “These boys are ready to give their very lives in the defense of things that eveyy true American holds dear and the most that I can do to add to their pleasure and enjoyment is too little,’' she said. No Remuneration Adelaide, as well as all other artists who appear on U. S. O. programs, give their time and tal ents without financial remunera tion. In addition to singing for the men in uniform, she does a great deal of concert and radio work. Adelaide has a striking person ality and a rich, mellow contralto voice. “The servicemen like to hear all kinds of songs, but they seem to prefer the snappy tunes that have a lot of zip and rhythm,” she asserted. They like such songs as “Move It Over,” “The Man I Love,” “It’s Postwar Date,” negro spirituals and similar- tunes. “It’s Postwar Date” was introduced for the first time by Mrs. Hill at a merchant marine benefit in charge of Mrs. Thorwaldf A. Bjerg. Dog Vaccination Schedule Given Wade Bagwell announced today that he will be at Brevard ele mentary school Saturday after noon from 1 to 4 o’clock to vac cinate dogs.
