82nd Airborne Division Band To Play Friday Night At Brevard-Hendersonville Grid Game The 82nd Airborne Division band, one of the finest in America, will be in Brevard Friday night for the Bre vard • Hendersonville game. The band is being brought to Brevard by the local Monroe Wilson post of the Amerigan Legion, the Lewis Earl Jack son post of the VFW and the VFW auxiliary, according to Principal Bill Stanley. r Legionnaires and VFW members are asked to wear their veteran caps to the game and stand along the sidelines daring the halftime show. The band will play before the game, during the game and at halftime. Of all the mgny .Jkpny bands, few have had as coler ful and exciting a history as the 82d Airborne Division Band. From North Africa to Europe in combat, from Tex as to New York on maneu vers, and from Miami to Cleve land on parade, the 82d Air borne Division Band has served proudly during war and peace. The band was activated on April 27, 1942 at Camp Clair borne, Louisiana, one month after the activation of the 82d Infantry Division. It was orig inally designated as the 82d Infantry Division Artillery Band. After the division ob tained airborne status, the band was redesignated the 82d Airborne Division Artillery Band on August 15, 1942. It was not until March 1, 1945 that it was again redesignated as simply the 83d Airborn Di vision Band. In its early months of organization, the unit consist ed of only 23 musicians. During World War II, the band followed the division. The musicians played for the troops when the occasion arose while performing many other details; 'such as" jtriso-* ner guard and litter bearers for the medics. The group op erated not only as a marching unit, but also a concert band and sometimes a dance band to help in boosting troop mo rale. The unit officially par ticipated in four campaigns — Nayles - Foggia, Rhine land, Ardennes - Alsace, and Central Europe. During the occupation of Berlin, the mission of the division neces sitated the freuent appearance of the band at guards of hon or and other special functions. While in Africa during the war, the band played for Gen erals Eisenhower, Patton, Clark and Spaatz. In Germany, Gen erals Ridgeway and Dempsey were among its audiences as well as Marshals Zhukov and Montgomery. Since the war, the unit has included General Douglas MacArthur, Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain and President John F. Kennedy among its audiences. In May 1965 the band join ed the re$t of the division during the disturbance in the Dominicarf Republic. It serv ed there for approximately five months, being widely used to present programs for the Dominican people in con junction with the Civil Af fairs program. It also per formed in many Washington, D. C. schools during the civ il disturbances in April 1968. Today the band is consoli dated with Headquarters and Headquarters Company of the Division Support Com mand. As the only band on Fort Bragg, it is wide ly used for division and post functions as well as in com munity relations activities. It supports an average of 100 mu sical activities per month, in- »* eluding furnishing combos for social functions and buglers for' military funerals. In addi tion to play at military changes of command and at honor guard ceremonies, the band has. given programs in area high schools and elementary schools. It has also performed at the Azalea Festi\ al in Wilmington, the Carolina 500 auto race in Rock ingham, the Boy Scout Jam boreet, ROTC balls and in nu merous parades. The band is composed of 42 enlisted men and one war rant officer. Members are carefully selected based on their musical background. They also must obtain a min imum score during an audi tion. All of the members have a wide range of musical ex perience, some having a pro fessional background. <ES AND STREAMS. WHITE CRAPPIES AVERAGE . i WEIGHT. GO FORTH!

When you think of prescrip tions, think of VARNER’S, adv. 4lfO»R HEALTH... By U5STEB U COLE MAX, M.D. ! : > A Diabetic Is No Invalid 3 h DIABETES does not run in our family. Yet our 22-year old daughter was just found to have it. There are questions we are afraid to think, muqh less to ask. What are the prospects for her longevity, and of living a normal, happy married life ? Mr. and Dr. Coleman Mrs. B.B.N., RJ. Dear Mr. and Mrs. N.: My answer may at first seem harsh when I say that I am glad you discovered your daughter had diabetes. Certainly, it would have been better If she did not have It. But since she baa diabetes, what is vital is its early discovery and active treatment. Far too many people delay medical examination and live as mild diabetics without knowing' It, without being •treated. They eventually find It hard to'control the diabetes and Its complications. The prospects are great for the longevity of today’s dia betic. With proper diet, and .insulin when necessary, the life span of the diabetic is al most as great as it is for the •person without it It may, In fact, even he greater, because the diabetic is more conscious of health. He usually keeps his weight down, does not smoke, and avoids the fatty foods thought to lead to atherosclerosis. Regular Visits to the doctor play an important role in the detection of other conditions that may. arise, thus main taining a better level of health throughout life, Infections were once the * <A iWl.Klng Fretui dreaded complications of dia betes. Today, antibiotics and sulfa drugs have reduced these. Your daughter, with contin ued treatment, can expect a full life in marriage, and with children, unmarred by her dia betic state. It is important to her emo tionally that she knows clear ly there is no need for her to go through life in the role of an invalid. * * * I have had a swelling at the base of my spine all my .life. Now, at the age of 46, it’s beginning to bother me. I have been told that I need surgery. Why would this be necessary after so many years? Mr. E. J., Mich. Dear Mr. X: Your story sug gests the possibility that you may have a “pilonidal’’ cyst. If that is it, you can be sure that it is not a dangerous condition. These cysts are the result of some defect in development while still in the mother'* uterus. They rarely cause symptom* until adult life. Usually, an in fection in the cyst makes it flare up after it has lain dor mant many years. Surgery is very successful and is far less complicated than it was years ago. If sur gery has been suggested, don’t delay. Time tends to invite un necessary complications.

Small grain crops— wheat, oats, barley, rye — also are being used in rotations with tobacco, peanuts, corn, cotton and forage crops.
