Member North Carolina Press Association and ... North Carolina Weekly Newspaper Association October n, 1,945 We fan across an editorial in Saturday’s Durham Morning .Herald which spoke in a praising vein of the Navy’s reshuffle and came out with the statement that “it appears that the Navy Department is getting a long jump on the Army in getting its oTvn house in or der.” Also in the same editorial were the words, “If the consolidation of the national defense forces does come, and there are many reasons why it should, the Navy will be in better shape to assume its new role in the ov er-all picture.” We wonder about that Iong*jump the Navy is getting on the Army in setting its house in order. From the abominable mess the Navy has made of its point system, it seems to us the Army’s house was so far ahead of the Navy’s in order that it willtake many jumps 'for the Navy to catch up. At least the Army „ was ready for the end of the war and had some reasonable system for releasing men when the time came. At least the Army has some detailed discharge forms which tell why a man is being released and give a record of his ser vice. We wonder if the peace time Navy will be in a better position to assume its new role under a consolidated defense force than the Army. It will take a lot of reshuffling to get rid of all the Navy gold braids who have rolled to the waves of their swivel chairs in Washing ton throughout the war and have no idea of how enlisted men and officers who have ser ved for two years through many battles feel as they float around in the^Pacific wondering if more merit for their active duty than one half point a month won’t soon be given. BY THE EDITOR A LETTER FROM MY KID BROTHER, who has been in the Navy for a little over a year, came the other day, and since a let ter from him is an event hapening only once in every eight months, I must make mention of the fact. Living down, or living up, to the name of Bob White for nineteen years, that brother of mine has .devoted his life to driv ing first grandmother, later teachers and fin allyNavy- officers to the paper-doll-cutting stage:-He spent his one year at Carolina tak ing sub-freshman Enblish, which he never - passed, and in telling physical education teach ers how to coach basketball, baseball or foot ball teams. Mother always tried to make him read something besides the funnies, but she never got to first base with that project. Dad dy always tried to put the idea across that he didn’t know everything about everything, but Daddy never got very far either. Bob joined the Navy just before his eighteenth birthday, and since that time he has made an appearance at captain’s mast every week but one, and that was the week he had a leave at home. He has been rapidly promoted from an apprentice seaman to the high standing of Seaman, first class, in only nineteen months A small minesweeper, operating up and down the coast from Baltimore to Charleston, with Norfolk as primary base, has been blessed with his presence as a radar operator. He’s been tel ling the captain over and over that he’d like to go somewhere else and see something different, and at last his wish has been granted. Here’s what he had to say about the new site of duty: “You knew we were expecting to leave Nor folk, didn’t you? Well, (the comma there am azed me; he must have dearned something from those three repeats of his college English coupe) we left, but not for Miami but just thirty miles north of Norfolk to Yorktown. You know' where Cornwallis surrendered to Washington. Frankly I can’t blame him for surrendering. I would surrender too in order to get out of a place like this. There isn’t even a movie in Yorktown. Of course Gus has a joint here, but he sells only the cheapest type o# beer.” I really think Bob waft out-doing himself with this letter. He made the statement, “Now : you’re ruining a paper by editing it, I eking this letter for gram :tuation, etc. Let me save grading it myself. F.” I if L based the grade on I remember the year school and Rill spell secret “secrete” and — ... "11 ~ 1 ~ murdered every easy word in the Webster dictionary. More extracts from the letter: “I was in Washington last week end on a 48. Sammie and I only had $15 between us; that’s why we hitch-hiked. We met a couple of girls there and there’s a chance we may re turn for another engagement. You don’t sup pose Truman will be angry with me if he dis covers I was there and didn’t stop in to see him, do you? “Maybe I’lJ see you soon. Fm due for anoth er leave k>metime before Christmas, and I promise that Betty and I will be down, or Nancy and I. If Betty and Nancy should com pare letters between now and then, I’ll come down and we ll have dinner together—just we two.” • • • MUSIC TO THE EARS of all the dogs, horses, pigs and people within a mile of the Terrace View Supper Club Friday night was my piano rendition of “Pistol Packing Mama”. Yfes, sir! I can still play the piano like nobody's business in spite of -the iac# that my music teacher told me foi^een years l‘d rievef learn C scale. I was waiting for one of those thick steaks that the Terrace View does up to per fection, and since it was only 5:30,-the supper crowd hadn’t come in. As a matter of fact, I had the whole place to myself. The band stand and the piano there looked inviting; so I tiptoed over and flexed my fingers awhile to see if rigor mortis had them. In less than five minutes I had exhausted my entire rep ertoire of “Tea For Two”, “Chopsticks”, “Mama Sent Me To The Spring” and Chloe”. Then I remembered a bars of “Pistol Packing Mama" and started in on them with a loud bang. It was about this time that a stream of people came in, and I was pound ing away with such vim that I didn’t hear them. The Terrace View lost several custom ers that night, but I had a heck of a lot of fun. INCOME TAX MEN have been at large in this county during the past week, and 'I’m* sure a lot of people have been as worried as Walt in the Skeezix comic strip a^out what the men could want with them. I saw one at Ogden’s Furniture Store in Chapel Hill Fri day, and poor Mr. Ogden had been sweating it out with him for three hours. If one ever comes looking for me,. I’m out of town, have been out of town for the last six months and don’t expect to return for six more. I THE NEWS In 1924 Hillsboro—Hon. S. M.

(Continued on page 7) Writer For WDNC Thrilled By Work by ELSIE CUSHMAN “Just what does a writer for a radio station have to do?” “Lots,” said Miss Catherine Faul coner, a Burlington girl who y/rites for station WDNC in B’or ham. Miss Faulconer is respon sible to some several thousand peo ple who expect good radio pro gldlllO. . ., i About her affiliations with WDNC, Miss Faulconer said it Was experience plus pure luck that got her the job. She began radio work four years ago at the Burlington station. She was then only 17 years old. As a writer she is responsible for arranging program schedules, writing .commercials, and writing out programs. Sometimes it takes four or five hours to shape a fif teen minute program. Since "WDNC is a small station, the staff is not highly departmentalized as. those of larger stations. Therefore her Job" envolves not only writing, but also production and all be forehand preparations such as timing the program, checking the music or data, and conferences with the annnuncfer. _' . ~~~r ‘‘But it’s worth it,” she smiled. “When you hear your work ac tually coming over- the air as you have written it and want it to go, it’s somewhat the same sen sation a newswriter has in seeing his by-line.” .rvolYCU aUUUl lcicuj i uto, 01 iv oaiu she had interviewed Robert St John and met DeWitt Mackensie in the station at Burlington. “But let me tell you,” she said, “about the funniest experience I’ve had meeting people. When I was still in Burlington, I was down at the station on a hot afternoon. It was too warm to work in my of fice, so I had moved the desk and typewriter out in the hall. There I sat pecking away, with my hair disheveled, my skirt pulled up, and a coke down on the floor. “Someone walked in and ask ed to see the program director. ‘Don’t know where he is,’ I said. ‘Any message?’ I didn’t believe it when the man told me he was Jimmy Scribner: You know, the man who writes and does all the characters on his program. He looked very ordinary, not at all as I had expected, but when he said, ‘Jimmy Scribner’, I really jumped qp and found that program director. “It was interesting to watch him do his program on the air. With all those characters to do he didn’t make any grimaces in chang ing his voice, and I’ve never seen anyone more poised in front of a mike.” The people with whom she works are varied. The news edi tor and program director is a psychiatrist by profession. Another member of the staff was a radio teacher in a southern university who decided that he needed prac tical experience. One of the an nouncers was a writer for a net work program on NBC. The whole staff is invaluable, down to the high school student who already has a couple of years ^kperience. “So you see,” Miss Faulconer concluded, “that the work is in teresting from any view point. I hope to make radio writing my life’s work, so I believe the ex perience I’m geting now will be the'best thing that could have hap pened to me.” EXECUTOR’S NOTICE Having qualified as executor the estate of William Henry Bro\i deceased, late of Orange.
