GIRLS STAGE THE ATTACK
THIS TIME
By Dot Galloway
The great attack was staged on
Tuesday, September 21. Upon the
arrival of the soldiers from Fort
Bragg they were greeted by a
brigade of high school girls eager
to get their autographs and ad
dresses.
After getting up enough cour
age to ask them for their names
there was a major defeat over the
soldiers and very soon the girls
“had the situation well in hand.”
In every direction you turned
you heard the question shyly (???)
asked, “May I have your auto
graph?” The boys willingly gave
in and wrote their names on rain
coats, autograph books, etc.
All this caused quite a bit of

amount among the soldiers them
selves.
Happy correspondence!!!!
EDITOR SPEAKS TO GROUP
Mr. Ed M, Anderson, editor of
the Transylvania Times, spoke
to the staff of the school paper
at their weekly meeting on Sep
tember 23rd.
Mr. Anderson congratulated the
staff on their first edition of The
B. H. S. Broadcaster which came
out last week. He called to their
attention how valuable their ex
perience in journalism would be
to them in later life, no matter
what they chose to do.
Mr. Anderson promised to come
back again during the year and
go more into detail about the
different types of stories in a pa
per.—By Frances Walker.
BEWARE OF THE BIKES
There is a large number of bi
cycles at B. H. S. this year. Stud
ents and teachers at school can
only feel safe when inside the
building. Sometimes, not even
then, for one Wednesday after
noon a boy pushed his bicycle up
the steps, through the hall, and
then rode it down the aisle of the
auditorium.
There is also danger of acci
dents in front of the building at
the bottom of the steps. One can
never know when a bicycle will
whiz around the corner and
knock him for a flip.
A favorite act of many boys is
to gather speed and slide the tires
on the grass. This is harmful to
the grass as well as the bicycle and
is dangerous for it doesn’t always
turn out as planned. Bicycles are
helpful, especially during the war,
but they should not be made a
nuisance.—By Gene Hall.

Army Visit* Ecusta During Big War Bond Drive
A company of soldiers with latest army equipment from Fort Bragg, N. C., visited Brevard last
week where they participated in a large county-wide bond rally. During the rally, Transylvanians
heard the exceptionally fine 13th Air borne Division Band under the direction of Sergeant Allison.
Captain John Montgomery was in charge of the “Caravan.” The above picture shows the unit as it
visited Ecusta for lunch as guests of the company.

studying to be a radio technician.
“Madison, where our Field is lo

ta and Monano, in the beautiful
‘Four Lakes Region’ mentioned in
Longfellow’s poem—It is hard to
describe the scenic beauty of this
entire region—and especially in
and around Madison—because of
this beauty the city has often been
recorded in music, literature and
art . . . the people really try to
make their ‘War Time Guests’
feel at home—and we really en
joy it. I think this section is the
only place I have found that com
pares favorably with our own Nor
th Carolina Mountains—and their
beauties.
Never have I imagined such
farms—such grand herds of cat
tle—such fields of corn and wheat
—stretching for miles and miles.
There are also several paper mills
in this vicinity which I hope to be
able to visit before I am transferr
ed. Also many canneries to take
care of the huge crops. Speaking
of canneries those here have been
caughi short-handed and have
asked for volunteers from our
field. I volunteered along with
many other boys, and spent last

In Memoriam
Mrs. Wm. J. Wallis
Gone are the days that gave to
America the type of womanhood
so well exemplified in Mrs. Wallis.
She was of the old South.
Precisely what was the quality
the gentlewoman of her era pos
sessed, that set them apart from
others, it would be very difficult
to say. But something there was
that made them different.; and we
feel as, one by one they pass from
our midst; “we shall not look up
on their like again.”
In Mrs. Wallis was found tlje
personal charm and the sweet
house wifely art that we tradition
ally associate with the daughters
of Virginia. “To the manor born.”
She had a rare gift for home-mak
ing—and her home reflected her
personality. Like herself, it was
gracious and lovely—a place where
one loved to be.
A lively wit, a keen sense of hu
mor, and an exceptionally alert in
telligence made Mrs. Wallis a de
lightful companion. The gift of
her friend ship was somthing to be
treasured.
Combined with this attractive
personality she had a fine practical
ability and a boundless energy that
she delighted to use for others. To
the end of her life, she gave, in
generous, overflowing measure of
her time and talents for others.
Her work in connection with sup
plying clothing for the little child
ren in war ravaged England was as
lovely and effective a service to
humanity as was ever done in Bre
vard.
Might not these words from Pro
verbs have been written to-day of
Mrs. Wallis—
“She stretched forth her hands
to the needy.
Strength and honor are her
clothing.
Her children arise up and call
her blessed
Let her own works praise her in
the gates.”
How aptly these phrases apply
to this great hearted woman. But
it is not only her own children who
call her blessed; nor is it only
within her own gates that her
works of mercy praise her even
across the seas.
“Lord when saw we Thee nak
ed and clothed Thee?”
“Inasmuch as ye did it unto the
least of these—ye did it unto me.”
In affectionate memory.

“A NEST EGG IN STORAGE”
That s one Texas widow's description of her
husband's Woodmen of the World Life In
surance Certificate. They hadn't given it
much thought while her husband lived. Yet
when death took the family wage-earner,
that life certificate supplied the funds to
convert the family home into an apartment
house. This "nest egg in storage" enabled
the widow to become self-supporting.

into its brotherhood. There you may enjoy
its priceless economic, social and fraternal
benefits. Woodmen membership gives you
