SGT. PATTERSON
HIGHLY PRAISES
ENGLISH PEOPLE
Popular Brevard Boy Re*
turns After Being In
England 21 Months
“The nearer the American
doughboy and the English Tommy
get to the battle front, the closer
and more amicable are their re
lationships,” said Sgt. A. J. “Pat”
Patterson who has recently return
ed from England and spoke of the
attitude of the British people to
ward the American servicemen in
that country.
Sgt. Patterson, who spent 21
months in England with the 8th
American air force as a Link
trainer instructor on a robot plane
used for instrument flying, is
home on a 20-day furlough with
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alex
Patterson, of Brevard, before be
ing transferred to a cadet school
of the army air force at Keesler
Field, Miss.
Speaking further of the attitude
of civilians and servicemen to
ward the American armed forces
in England, Sgt. Patterson said
that even though the English are
rigidly rationed in many commodi
ties that they willingly share what
they have, almost to the point of
embarrassment, and the spirit of
co - operation and understanding
among soldiers of both countries
is most excellent, he said.
“The English women saved Eng
land in her greatest crisis by
efficiently replacing men in war
industries and other essential oc
cupations and even replacing men
in limited service jobs in the arm
ed forces,” he said in further
praise of the English civilians, and
of the complete mobilization of the
country on both the home and war
fronts.
“My prediction is that there is
much more fighting to be done
before the deadly enemy is con
quered, and it’s the sale of war
bonds in this country that will
make our victory a matter of cer
tainty,” Sgt. Patterson declared in
stressing the fact that our efforts
on the home front mustn’t relax
in this respect until unconditional
surrender is obtained.
Sgt. Patterson was given occa
sional opportunity on leaves to
visit London and other cities and

REGISTRANTS ARE
REMINDED OF PRE
INDUCTION RULES
Will Not Affect Rights For
Deferments Or Requests
For Appeal
Members of the Transylvania
county draft board reminded reg
istrants of recent changes in pre
induction regulations that were is
sued by Selective Service head
quarters.
“Every registrant, classified in
1-A, whether with or without phy
sical examination, shall be ordered
to report for pre-induction physi
cal examination at a designated
induction station,” the statement
said.
“Examinations by local physi
cians will not be made unless a
registrant claims some defect
which he believes will disqualify
him from service. In such case the
registrant may present himself at
the local board office and request
immediate physical examination by
a local physician.”
In filling calls for pre-induction
physical examination, the local
board, as far as practicable, shall
first select volunteers, then non
fathers and finally fathers without
regard to whether or not the reg
istrant has requested a personal
appearance before the board and
without regard to whether an ap
peal has or will be taken. Requests
for deferment or appeals will not
be made until after the results of
the pre-induction physical exami
nation have been received, it is
pointed out.
At the time of pre-induction
physical examination, each regis
trant who is found to be accept
able for service in the armed
forces will be designated as ac
ceptable to the Army, or to the
Navy, including the Marine corps
and Coast Guard. Before such
designation is made, the registrant!
will be given an opportunity to
express and the fullest considera
tion practicable will be given, to
his preference.
Shortly after this pre-induction
physical examination, a certificate
of fitness will be mailed to the
registrant showing that he has
either been found physically fit
and acceptable for a branch of
general military service, or that
he has been rejected as physically |
unfit or unacceptable for other j
Brevard Elementary School News |
Principal J. E. Rufty introduced
the Fourth War Loan drive at the
Elementary chapel program last
Friday. As a reason for this drive
he gave the pupils this compari
son: The total cost of the Civil
War would carry our present war
only 2V2 hours. The total cost of
World War I would run this war
about 5Vi to 6 months.
In the school, children are con
tributing their money this week
for the fight against infantile pa
ralysis. Each child contributing
writes his name on a wall chart
which will be sent to the President
when the drive is over.
Principal Rufty cautioned chil
dren about careless use of school
material, stating that play material
cannot be obtained now. He spoke
also of care in the use of library
books as new books may not be
had.
A check ,p of charts in the
school to show Sunday school at
tendance last Sunday showed a
marked increase over the previous
Sunday.
The school is supplying lunches
for nearly 400 children. The princi
pal asks these children to exercise
care in helping those who are pre
paring and serving these lunches.

reasons.
Calls for induction for February
and thereafter will be separate for
the various branches of the service,
it is explained. These calls are to
be filled by men who have been
found on pre-induction physical
examination to be acceptable for
armed services.
The key to filling calls for in
duction under the new system is
to create an adequate pool by fil
ling all calls for pre-induction phy
sical exams.
Requests for deferment, appear
ance before the board, or appeals
will not be made until the results
of the pre-induction are received.
“This order to report for pre
induction physical examination
does not deprive a registrant of
his rights of appeal or request for
deferment,” it is emphasized.
The study of God’s word, for
the purpose of discovering God’s
will, is the secret discipline which
has formed the greatest of char
acters.—J. W. Alexander.
