Addressing the largest class yet to
graduate from the Advanced Flying

the German is tough with more
brains."
' From now on you are members
of a team,” the General told the
graduates. “You will be operating
in flights, squadrons or groups, not
individually. Get to know the other
members of the team, the men who
fly and the service men, and you will
make the team a better one.’’

Y. H. Taylor. Post Commanding Of
ficer. told briefly how General Royce
■was awarded the D. S. C. for leading

gratulations from both. Capt.
Claude Ennis, Asst. Post Chaplain,

diction.

Under the new plan, it is necessary
that tires be inspected at authorized
tire- inspection stations at stated in
tervals, depending on the type of

Young Girl Drives
School' Bus Here
Miss Louise Nobles, a junior in the
Plymouth High School, is the only
girl school bus driver in Washing
ton County; and, so far as can be
learned is the second in the history
of the county schools. She is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. W.
Nobles, who lives on the Hoke road
about 9 miles from Plymouth, and
she makes a round trip daily over a
12-mile route.
According to H. H. McLean, county
superintendent of public instruction,
Miss Nobles is one of the most ef
ficient drivers in the local school bus
system. Her bus carried from 50 to
65 children twice daily, with the
average being nearer the higher fig
ure.
Checking back through the history
of the school transportation system
in the county, it was learned that
Miss Lucy Davis, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Ernest Davis, was the first
of her sex to become a school bus
driver here. She drove a bus to and
from the Westover section back in
the early 1930’s, it was said.
Dr. A. Papineau Is
Speaker ai Recenl
P. T. A. Meet Here
Cites Advancement Made by
Medical Science in Past
Fifty Years
The Plymouth Parent-Teacher As
sociation had a splendid attendance
at its regular meeting in the high
school here Wednesday evening of
last week. An encouraging sign to
officials of the organization was the
presence of several fathers at the |
meeting.
Dr. A. Papineau. principal speaker [
of the evening, gave some interest
ing facts about the advancement
that medical science has made in the
past 50 years in the diagnosis and
treatment of disease. He stressed the
importance of early diagnosis and
prevention of disease by inoculation.
"Vitamins in concentrated form do
not take the place of an adequate
diet.” the physician stated. ‘'Milk,
fruits, whole p'ains, vegetables and
meat will supply these in the best
form, but in cases of marked vita
min deficiency, concentrated vita
mins are a necessary treatment.” he
concluded.
Mrs. W. V. Hays, the president,
stated that the P. T. A. member
ship envelopes, which were distri
buted by the grade mothers, should
be returned to the teachers with
either donations or membership dues.
The money thus raised will be used
to augument the paint fund. Grade
mothers for several rooms reported
money raised for this project.
A prize of $1 will be given to the
room having the best attendance at
the January meeting of the associa
tion.
Principal R. B. Trotman reported
that several rooms had been painted
in the primary school building. Bet
ter lighting has been effected by the
use of light colors, and enthusiasm
is higher among the children in the
rooms painted, he said.

The local draft was advised yester
day that it is still possible for men
between the ages of 18 and 38 to
volunteer for service in the Navy.
Coast Guard or Marine Corps, pro
vided application is made through
the selective service board. Those
wishing to volunteer must apply to
their local board, who will issue pa

rine recruiting station, as the case
may be, where final examination will
be made.
Such volunteers must pay their
own expenses to and from the re
cruiting station, and in the event
they are rejected by the branch of
service to which they apply, they are
classed as 1-A by the local board and
are subject to induction in the Army.
It was stated that it is no longer
necessary for boys of 18 and 19 to
have their parents’ permission to
volunteer for service in any branch
of the armed forces.

fuel oil in a year to drive a destroyer
50 miles.
