SENSE AND NONSENSE By Madrie Galloway Hey, what’s the idea of every one looking so uncomfortable? Is it the hi-spots of this column re flecting and hurting your eyes, or do you have just a little too much of “Mr. Turkey” under your belt? If it’s “Mr. Turkey”, we’ll excuse you until you let your belt out a notch, but this column’s gonna out shine a flashlight so put on your colored “sepcs” and stick around. Here comes the .navy! (almost!) Brandon, Rut and Charles. Close your eyes and imagine you see the admiral bars they’re not gonna get. Ha! No kidding, boys, we’re sure you’ll make good but remem ber we’ll have our fingers crossed for you. Gr-r-r! Jean with all her talk about a particular senior girl’s sailors, doesn’t seem to remember the Sunday she walked off and left a rather nice looking lad. The school’s interpretation of “K-K-Katy” put Helen M. to sing ing K-K-aty (or maybe it’s K-K Kazip, who knows?) Anyway, I’ll let everybody in on this little se cret if you’ll promise never to tell a soul. I)o you remember the night of the Talley party? Well, Kadez began cashing those beau tiful brown eyes . . . and . . . Helen (continued week after next.) Co-flop-oh! here goes Ivalee A.’s hopes crashing to the floor. I told you about getting your ex pecta-tions soaring so high because Henry is a busy fellow. That certain senior girl that’s receiving those complimentary (?) letters from the Aleutians is cer tainly getting her feathers ruffled. Here’s hoping she doesn’t do something tragic like flying on the wings of hate (period) to the stepping stone of Japan and tear ing that so-n-so sailor apart. We surely hope everyone had the service men on their list of “Thanks” during Thanksgiving, be cause, folks, they’re really some thing to be thankful for. DETOUR A synonym is the word'you use when you can’t spell the other one. t ( t f t t t f ( t Spartan Feeds DAIRY FEED • LAYING MASH • DOG FOOD See Us For Your Christmas FRUITS —and— NUTS Farmers Federation FRED MONTEITH, Manager EAST MAIN STREET BREVARD, N. C. JERALD TATE IS EXPECTED HOME To Ars-hre-From N. Africa In Next Few Days. Had Narrow Escapes S. Sgt. Jerald E. Tate, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Tate, of Bre vard, is expected home within a few days on a furlough, after con siderable active duty as tail gun ner in the crew on a plane which participated in bombing missions in Italy, France, Germany, Sicily and Greece within recent months. He was assigned to the plane of which Capt. Bjorn Ahlin, of Can ton, was captain, and Lt. O. A. Westbrook, of Raleigh, was pilot. The plane and its crew narrowly escaped death from enemy pursuit plane machine gun bullets during the invasion of North Africa, Nov. ’42, during which the plane was shot out of the sky and crashed in the desert. The radio operator was the only one fatally injured, and the others of the crew escaped with only minor injuries. The plane was temporarily damaged. The last active duty of the plane crew, of which Sgt. Tate was a member, before returning to the United States, was the bombing of Turin Ballbearing works in Italy, and their biggest thrill ex perienced, as related by Capt. Ahlin, was participation in the raid on Rome last July. S. Sgt. Tate is now in Florida and his parents believe he will be home on furlough some time this week, although they have not as yet had definite information as to the exact time of his arrival. Navy Recruiter To Be Here Fri. & Sat. Chief Signalman C. J. Rhine hardt, Navy recruiter will be in the post office in Brevard on De cember 3 and 4, to accept applica tions from men 17 years of age for enlistment in the Naval Service, and to give special interviews to young women interested in service in the Navy, it was announced here today by the Asheville Navy Recruiting Station. Men are needed to man the new fighting ships of the fleet in such duties as elecricity, radio, gun nery, fire control, metalsmith, etc., and most all men are trained in these various duties at the Navy’s trade schools before being assign ed to duty on board ship. The women’s reserve — the WAVES—has a need for women with all types of training and many backgrounds of experience. Re quirements of education and phys ical qualfications are not beyond the reach of the average woman. Two years of high school and good average health will qualify any wortian for service in the WAVES. Requirements have recently been modified so that a woman whose husband is in the Navy provided he is not a commissioned Naval officer, mav now enter the WAVES. SEUCANEWS BY MRS.
