THANKS TO TOWN BOARD Having been among those who pleaded for repairs to be made on our streets, we desire also to be among those who express their ap preciation of work that has been done. Not for years have all our streets been in better condition, if as good. Drivers are grateful for the improvement. But our sidewalks are crying loudly for attention. With the rapid growth of grass and weeds, the washing done by rains, the wear of traffic, walking is an un comfortable process in many parts of town. If weed-cutters might spend some days in destroying the growth that impedes pedestrians, our town might boast of appearing as a model of what well-dressed summer streets should wear. Al so what they should not wear. MUSEUM HALTS FISH STORIES Raleigh, July 3.—T00 many fish stories are going the rounds these days, and the State Museum has decided to do something about it in the way of assisting with the identification and size of the fish that are being caught. Tht first collection—bream and sun fish—was brought in recently from Dr. O. S. Goodwin’s farm at Apex, and they are having a mer ry time of it gazing at their vis itors. Others will be added, ac cording to Director Harry Davis. Davis said that with the help of the Soil Conservation Service, farmers of the Wake County sec tion are growing fish “just like raising chickens” and have built about 20 one-acre ponds within the past year. After the first year, each pond should yield at least 240 pounds of fish per year. “Bass, crappie, and bream do well in fresh water in this State, but if you hear of a bass weighing over 14 pounds, a crappie over two, or a bream over a pound and-half, you send the story-teller to the aquarium at the State Mu seum,” advised Davi .

WACS have played a major role in the vital ground services for the Army Air Forces’ Air Transport Command. The same held true for the SPARS. THe WASPS proved outstanding as pilots in ferrying every type of aircraft. And members of the Army Nurse Corps gained new lustre as flight nurses. More than 800.000 sick and wounded have been flown to safe ty and care during the war, many of them all the way across the At lantic or Pacific. About 60 per cent of the first tw r o graduating classes of the Air Nurses training center at Bowman Field, Kentucky, were former air line stewardesses. The WACS have been serving in more than 150 different capaci ties related to flying, many of them overseas. Here are just a few:: grease monkeys, radio op erators, dispatchers, draftsmen, in spectors, control tower operators, priority and traffic officers, intel ligence officers, weather experts, and postal workers. Some of the air jobs performed by WAVES have been as admini strators of tests in low presure chambers, gunnery instructors, air navigation instructors, aeriologists mates, metal smiths, instrument mechanics, store keepers. Women Marines had to their credit many of the foregoing du ties and also such jobs as para chute riggers, electricians, hy draulic specialists, lubricators, propeller specialists, oxygen ex perts, all branches of radio, and aerial photography. SPARS did notable work in con trol towers and in charge of Link trainers.
