In order to earn part of her
expenses as a student at Peru
Normal College in Neb., Betty
Ann Grady took a job learning
how to operate a linotype mach-
ine at a local weekly newspaper
plant. She recently informed
friends that she would not re-
turn to school this fall. Her new
job as editor and publisher of
the Elmo Register and Clearmont
News won’t permit her to.

Mrs. Marion Davenport is a
better soldier than her son, Pvt.
James Davenport. They made a
bet last spring, when James was
about to go into the Service and
his mother into the WAC, that
the first one to win a stripe
would get $25 from the other.
Pvt. James paid off the other day
to Pfc. Marion. She is an in-
structress in the Eighth Service
Command, Special Training De-
tachment, at Camp Robinson.
Pvt. James is at Camp Gruber,
Okla.

Patrons of a bank in Glovers-
ville, N.Y., looked at the pile of
new pennies on the bank counter
and the sign which said, “The
new pennies—take one.” They
milled around the pile of about
3,000 coins, but nobody would
touch them, fearful that a loud
burglar alarm would go off. Of-
ficials of the bank had to stand
near the money and urge the de-
positors to help themselves.
•
The reason that Orlin T. Greene
of Watertown, N.Y., is the poss-
essor of a citation for bravery
is that he had a bad cough. A
pharmacist mate, Orlin said he
didn’t really volunteer to rescue
a wounded Marine officer during
the Solomons campaign—he just
coughed at the wrong time. The
citation mentions, “Heavy Jap
machine gun fire... .complete
disregard for his own safety.”
•
William Sackel Jr. wanted to
get into the Army and especially
into the Quartermaster Corps in
Camp Lee, Va. He described him-
self as being six feet six inches
tall, so he was accepted. But when
it came time to issue his uniform,
nothing would fit. The cots were
too short, the shoes pinched his
feet, and the longest GI shirt
sleeves reached only to his el-
bows. An examination showed
that Sackel had underestimated
himself—he was really six feet
ten inches tall. He was given an
honorable discharge.
•
What is probably the smallest
gasoline allotment in the country
was granted to Mrs. Goldie Nor-
ton, town clerk of Chilmark,
Mass., by her ratioing board. The
•board allowed her coupons to
buy one gallon of gas every six
months for use in her gasoline
flatiron.
