§We persuaded two girls to slay
with the children 'not mine, not
the other night while we went out
to dinner, and were explicit that
we would be back in an hour"or
just as soon as we finished.
"Take your time," ore of them
spoke up. "We're in no hurry.
They're all playing bridge over at
my house and get mad if we make
any noise. So we'd rather be over
here."
0And Bill Bondenhamer tells
about the girl who said she charged
30c an hour to mind the baby be
fore 12 midnight and 50c an hour
after midnight.
When he inquired why the dif
ference, she explained, "Anyone's
foolish enough to stay out after
midnight is crazy enough to pay
50 an hour for minding the baby."

Radio Station Head Sees No Reason
FCC Should Turn Down Application
0 Louis N. Howard, one of the
wners of the proposed broadcast
ng station for Jacksonville, told
he News and Views Tuesday that
le saw no reason why the Federal
Communications C o m m i s s i o n
hould not approve the application
or a transmitter here.
The application of the Jackson
ville Broadcasting Company for
lermission to construct a new 250
/att standard broadcasting station
lere was filed with the FCC in
Vashington Monday, according to
Associated Press reports to the
«Iews and Views.
The company is owned by L. N.
ind Ellis Howard, both of New
Jern. each of whom owns one
luarter interest in station WIIIT
there.
Here on business. Howard said
an option already had been taken
by the firm on a building and ad
jacent property for the studios
and the transmission plant. The
building is the new brick structure
owned by George Howard on N.
C. 24 and the property is owned
by the E. L. Cox heirs in rear of
that location.
He added that he thought the
commission would hand down a
decision at least within 60 days.
The Jacksonville Chamber of
Conimtl ce eridorsed the efforts
to locate a station here. It would
be comparable to those in New
Bern and in Kinston, Howard said.

Camp Davis PRO Explains Function
Of Air Forces' Convalescent Center
0 The Army Air Forces redistri
bution and convalscent center at
Camp Davis is designed to take
the returned airman's mind off
combat and prepare him either for
return to active duty or separation
from the service. Lieut. Charles
Moxey, public relations office, told
the Jacksonville Kiwanis club at
its weekly meeting at the USO
Pine Lodge Tuesday afternoon.
Likening a combat airman to a
clock that's wound too tight. Lieu
tenant Moxey, a man himself dec
orated for heroism and meritorious
service on numerous occasions,
said the airman like the clock
could break and be unfit forever or
be unwound easily so that he would
be in working condition again.
To better fit the airman for fur
ther duty or for a return to civilian
life, the Camp Davis command of
fers him rest, education, physio
therapy, occupational guidance,
studies and hobbies. Gradually he
is guided away from the tenseness
of combat back into his former ha
bits and occupation. Lieutenant
Moxey explained.
All the cases at Camp Davis will
be ambulatory, and no cases of
mental disorders will be treated
there, according to the speaker.

Johnson retained as principal of

ently tendered his resignation.

Carl B. Craig and seconded by
Rev. F. N. Cox. Action on the mo
tion was opposed by Billy Arthur
who contended that it was not in
the Kiwanis club's authority to dic
tate to the committee and that
such action would be embarrassing
both tb Johnson and a member of
the committe who was present.
His substitute motion that the mat
ter go over unil the next meeting
did not receive a second, and
Craig's motion was passed by a few
scattered ayes. There were no dis
senting votes.

:: Joe Bynum Has Narrow Escape
• When Shell Fails to Explode
0Army Air Forces, Pacific Head
quarters—Thanks to the failure of
a Jap anti-aircraft shell to explode
and the failure of one of the
plane's bombs which it struck to
detonate, Technical Sergeant Ly
nell Bynum, Maysville, North Car
olina. left waist gunner-engineer
n of the 7th AAF Liberator bomber,
i- Miss Traveller, has completed 40
i- combat missions in the Central and
a- Western Pacific.
d Miss Traveller was making a
11 bomb run over an Iwo Jima target
when a 120 milimeter Jap shell
J, shot up through the plane'e open
s. bomb bay. ricocheted off a bomb,
i- ripping off the fin, bounced off a
iy bulkhead and emerged from the
it side of the craft.
ul "Those were the most anxious
moments we spent during our 40
m missions," said Se/geant Bynum.
k. "Although the bombs were of the
r, delayed action fuse type, we
8. weren't sure but the one the shell
r. hit wouldn't explode any instant,
id It was a mighty jittery situation
k- until bombs were released."
'e Sergeant Bynum also described
as the "prettiest sight he ever
saw" the destruction of a Jap
fighter plane by 7th AAF P-38
Lightning fighters which was es
orting Liberators on a mission to
Iwo Jima.
"A Jap fighter, a Zeke, was pre
paring to make a pass at our for
mation when it was jumped by
two Lightnings. Gunfire from one
P-38 started the Jap plane smok
ing, bursts from the second Light
ning set it afire. Phosphorous
bombs it was carrying exploded,
a wing dropped off and the plane
crashed into the oean."
Sergeant Bynum flew his first
combat mission against Truk in
August last year, and has also hit
such targets as Yap, Hahi Jima,
Chichi Jima and Iwo Jima. Miss
Traveller has been credited with
sinking a Jap cargo ship off Chichi
Jima. He flew the majority of his
missions over Iwo Jima during the
pre-invasion pouitding to which
the 7th AAF subjected the island.
Sergeant Bynum's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. J. C. Bynum, live in
Maysville. He attended Maysville
high school prior to entering the
armed service.
