Down Your Alley
BY REE TOWNSEND ’
The roaming convoy of captured
equipment created quite a bit of
excitement in Brevard but we’re
still trying to decide if the nine
service men accompanying it didn’t
cause the greater sensation.
2nd Lt. Frank Izzo without a
doubt received the biggest ap
plause of any of the speakers at
the rally—even though he did re
member after he sat down that he
forgot to take his hands out of his
pockets!
Taking time out to be serious,
1st Lt. Ralph Renzulli compliment
ed the state troopers on their won
derful cooperation during their
tour. (Incidentally Brevard was
the 54th town: visited by this group
in 26 days, with stops at Hender
sonville, Tryon and Gastonia sched
uled before returning to Camp
Davis.)
H. M. Morrow lived up to the
lieutenant’s expectations and was
on hand down at the Pierce-Moore
in time to escorf the army trucks
out of Transylvania.
All the boys tuned in to agree
that Ecustans were swell hosts and
that they enjoyed their meal in the
cafeteria. In case some of you are
interested in names, here’s who all
were in the crowd: Lt. Ralph Ren
zulli, Lt. Frank IzZo, Sgt. Beraett,
Sgt. Renner, Cpl. Hanks, Pfc.
Annabel, Pvt. Payne (and his name
really is Respectable!) Pvt. Landi
no and Pvt. Hicks. Then too, Ed
gar Farr, of Atlanta, was along
just to conteract the Northern at
mosphere and, of course, to keep
the big truck which led the cara
van in the road.
Jazzy Moore, frequent visitor
in Brevard, who writes a daily
column, “The Town Crier,” in
the Kannapolis paper, wrote one
of his columns recently on Bre
vard and the people of this com
infinity. He really gave us a good
build-up, too.
Ralph Fisher is now considered
the best speaker in town by the
younger generation. Making quite
a hit with his story of the Fishers
and Owens, Mr. Fisher thoroughly
entertained the cub scouts and
school boys and girls at the bond
rally.
Another things which goes over
big with the “children” is the jeep
riding. Howard Schmidt and his
Jaycees put on a pretty big show
Saturday afternoon. Sgt. Rossi
had his Moore General hospital
band playing tip top in spite of
the extra cold weather.
Landed out at the college in
time for an informal reception
Saturday night and had the op
portunity to find out that those
boys and girls really know how
to have fun. The International
Relations club was responsible
for this week-end’s affair hon
oring the N. C. State debaters.
Paying our visit to Rosman on
Saturday afternoon we were ex
tremely impressed with the town.
i
They Don’t Want Your Tears
“DONT CRY. Don’t let them see you cry!”
Whispers the older Red Cross Worker.
And as the litters of wounded come up
the gangplank of the hospital ship, the
young novice swallows, shuts her eyes for
an instant, and nods.
They don’t want your tears . . . these boys
of ours. Not though they face a future that
at first can seem harder than death.
They want our courage . . . they want our
resolution. Courage and resolution to match
and sustain their own.
Courage to keep us going on with this great
task—no matter what it may cost these coining
months in blood and sweat.
Resolution to back the boys who are tak
ing these risks, with every breath that’s in
us and every dollar we can rake or scrape.
These boys realize, far more than we can, how
fast war uses up machines, ammunition, equip
ment.
We cannot win the war with bullets our
bonds bought last summer. Those bullets
are already buried in Jap and Nazi graves.
And another horde of the desperate, cor
nered enemy is coming on.
Bullets and shells . . . tanks and guns . . .
ships and planes. These are the things the
boys are asking for . . . the boys at the front
and the boys behind them who will never
again do things with their two hands, or walk
with two feet, or see with two eyes,
They don’t ask us to give what they have
given. They only ask us to skip the easy
tears ... To invest our money instead of
spending it ... to lend the mere money price
of Victory.
They only ask us to buy War Bonds
Attend the Bond Auction Sponsored by Brevard Merchants at the
Co-Ed Theatre Tuesday night at 9.15.

Perhaps mainly because we had
