Today, the hammer taps on little-
known facts about well-known peo-
ple.
Did you know that Homecoming
Host Charles Brinkley had a weak-
ness for fried chicken? If the chick-
en is served with pie and ice cream
with a side order of chicken and ice
cream, he will like it just that much
better. Black curls end eight les-
sons from Mrs. Childress makes
Charles The Voice’s most dangerous
rival. (Any unbelievers, ask Polly.)
Blondes attract his attention, and
yet he says he is color blind. (Curi-
ous situation.) Before his graduation
from Weatherford High School in
1943, Charles played the trombone
in the band and for this reason he
likes Tommy Dorsey’s band best.
Kay Kyser follows for a close sec-
ond. He listens to Spot Light Bands
whenever possible for his favories
are Spot Light favorites, too. Clar-
ence—that is the middle name—is
extra happy when the program in-
cludes “You Always Hurt the One
You Love.”
Charles looks to the Baptist
Church for spiritual guidance and
he is treasurer of the B. S. U.
The Marines and MacArthur are
his wartime heroes. Speaking of
war, Charles has the help shortage
beaten. He has already hired a cook
and a gardner for the home he plans
to build after he. makes his first
million as a banker.
W. C. students, in their old age,
can look back and say “I knew
Charles Brinkley—the man who
played the trombone into the White
House—when he was elected Stu-
dent Body President on the Demo-
cratic ticket.”
J apanese-Americans
Visit W’ford College
International data about reloca-
tion centers were given to the Stu-
dent Body by two Japanese-Ameri-
can girls who are students of T.W.C.
in Ft. Worth. These two girls met
for the first time in T.W.C. The
girls, Mary Tahoa and Tomi Azeha
have just recently been released
from Relocation centers in Califor-
nia.
Mary, who was living in Medford,
Oregon, and was attending Oregon
State College was evacuated to Tulia
Lake, California where she spent
ten months. At the college she was
studying how to work with her peo-
ple in Christian religion. In T.W.C.
she is president of the Methodist
Student Movement. Tomi was living
in Los Angeles at the time of evac-
uation. She was sent to a camp in
Southern California where she
stayed two years. In camp she at
first went to a trade school and later
worked in a garment factory. Tomi
plans to be a dress designer.
When the war broke out, the Jap-
anese-Americans had to leave their
homes and go to the Relocation cen-
ters assigned to them by the Army.
These centers which are built on
the same basis that the Army Camps
have from three to four small apart-
ments in the barracks. Each family
of not more than five persons is
given one apartment. All the fam-
ilies eat together in a central mess
hall; the food is furnished by the
United States government. Since
the Japanese can bring nothing with
them when they are relocated, they
make their own furniture and other
necessities.
The camps are largely self-sus-
taining as they raise most of their
own food. The camps have their
own schools, churches, and indus-
tries. There are usually two or three
types of churches. These are the
Buddha churches, the Catholic
churches, and the Protestant
churches. The industries vary with
the equipment that is on hand and
with the need of certain commodi-
ties.
If a person wishes to leave the
camp to get a job or to attend school,
he must be investigated by both the
Army and the F.B.I. These people
who leave are fingerprinted and are
escorted by military police until
Moving swiftly, the tide of life turns as we grow
into adulthood. Our capacity to accept the responsi-
bilities demanded by this period of life, depends greatly
upon the preparation we make in our youth. Now is the
Bell Indicates Meditation
Each morning at 10:05 o’clock, the huge tower bell
is rung and in every class room of Weatherford College,
students rise and bow their heads in reverend meditation
especially offering silent prayer for the boys who are
fighting for them. The Student Christian Association
council decided to ring the bell at this time because it
seemed most convenient for the majority of the students.
During this short reign of silent meditation, we be-
lieve many of the prayers then prayed will be answered
and God’s heart will be gladdened.

And before we go any further, I
shall tell you about some of the new
arrivals, while they can still be put
under that classification. Kathleen
Gunn (Mrs. T. S. Bruton, 1004 6th
Avenue, Fort Worth, Texas) has a
baby boy; Sgt. and Mrs. Chester
Hudson had a little daughter, Cath-
erine Jane, born in Weatherford at
a local hospital on December 12.
Chester is in the Air Force at Celina,
Kansas. Word has been received of
the arrival of a baby daughter in
the home of Lt. (jg) Ernest Yar-
brough and Mrs. Yarbrough, in
Brooklyn, N. Y., and the little miss
has been named Susan Jane. Lieut.
Yarbrough was at sea when she ar-
rived. A baby girl was born to Capt.
and Mrs. J. M. Neussle (former
Gayle Bourke) in Mineral Wells and
christened Lucille Dee. Recently
Gayle learned her husband had four
Oak Leaf Clusters added to his Air
Medal and has completed 55 mis-
sions over enemy installations. He
also had the Distinguished Flying
Unit Badge.
Since we seem to be back to mili-
tary news now, we might as well
continue our journey and look up
some of those we’d like to see
around England and France. First
Lt. W. H. (Bill) Teague in the Air
Corps as Aerial Photographer and
has been in England for the past
year. When he was a Corporal, he
was a volunteer with Col. Paul T.
Cullen and Col. Elliott Roosevelt on
the Photo Mission to map North Af-
rica. He was commissioned Second
Lieutenant in November, 1942, and
to First Lieutenant soon after ar-
riving in England. He was recently
awarded the Bronze Battle Star and
citation for his work prior to he
invasion.
Ben Harley and Jack Miller (Stel-
la’s husband) are botn in England,
but after enjoying those scenic Eng-
lish views for awhile, they both
agreed they’d much rather have just
one little spot of Texas than all of
England put together.
Douglas Grogan recently arrived
in France, is seeing his share of ac-
tion, and has just been promoted to
Corporal. His address is Corporal
Douglas R. Grogan, 1807341, Hdq.
Co-397th Inf., APO No. 447, care of
Postmaster, New York, N. Y.
Pfc. Eddie Means, who has been
in service two years, is now in
France attached to the General Hos-
pital of the Medical Detachment. He
went overseas in September, barely
stopping in England before going on
into France. His wife, the former
Kathryn Server, remains here and
works at Consolidated.
Douglas Fain is also in France,
and someone reported meeting him
in Paris.
Lt. Marvin Swofford some time
ago received the Air Medal. He has
also received four oak leaf clusters
since being awarded the medal.
And now good news. Pvt. Billy
Jack Hart, who was first reported
missing in action on July 7th in
France and later reported being a
prisoner of war in Germany, has
written his mother for the first time.
He wrote from a prison camp to the
effect that he was OK and doing
all right. The letter was received
December 4th.
to say winter.) She is most comfort-
able when she is wearing a sweater,
a skirt and loafers. Her favorite
sweater is pink.
Mart—as her pals call her—is a
real jive baby. “My Heart Sings” by
T. Dorsey sends her solid. She
wrinkles up her nose and says, “Son-
ny Dunham has a cute style, too.”
She doesn’t overlook the classics,
however. Any moonlight night one
will probably find her balleting on
the front lawn. She cannot get the
touch without moonlight.
Martha’s business experience has
been varied widely’ She has been
a hospital secretary, a salesgirl, a
cashier, and a lifeguard. The life-
guard job at a summer resort near
St. Louis was the most exciting; she
saved two ladies from drowning be-
fore her mother asked her to give it
up. She plans to become a dress
designer or an interior decorator
when she finishes college.
She uses her free pass to the
movies every time that Van John-
son is featured. (Who wouldn’t?)
Her favorite pastime though is danc-
ing or dating Clayton.
Martha thinks the Republicans
will win an election after Roose-
velts’ nineth term because nine is
her lucky number. The war will be
over as soon as her dad is made a
part of the Navy, Martha says. The
only catch is that there are no Ma-
jors in the Navy. ,
Bve now, Martha must go after
another tube of lipstick—Coty’s
“Tamale”—“the only kind I can
stand.”

husband in the Air Corps, received
a broken arm while sight-seeing in
Belgium and a consequence furlough

Tucker still in the South Pacific and
she’s employed at the Station Hos-

since Freddy went back to sea. An-
other “waiting wife” is doing her

back at her old job with the Civil
Service (analyzing civilian position
the Transportation Corps installa-
tions) and her address is 2940 Mills

A second wife who’s doing her
waiting in a distant state while
keeping her hands busy is Stella
Ragsdale Miller, whose new address
is 1800 Longfitt, Richland, Wash-
ington.
This is off the subject just now,
but perhaps you won’t mind my
stopping now to include it before
it gets too awfully, awfully stale.
These notes are just in answer to
some of your questions, so here
goes:
Rev. and Mrs. Ervin Gathin now

Texas, where he is assitant pastor
of the First Methodist Church.
They are successors to Rev. and
Mrs. Irvin Smith (She was Saleta
Wentworth) who went to Lamont,
Oklahoma where he will serve the
Methodist Church there. Incident-
ally, did you know that the Smiths
have a little girl several months
old?
Rev. and Mrs. Ernest Potter (She
was Iva Sumrail), are enjoying their
full-time pastorate at Iredell, Texas,
