IN ANDREWS LAKE

Gordon Mosely, % years old, of
Milford, was drowned in Andrews
Lake, near Frederick, Sunday after

grasp slipped and he fell in before aid
could be obtained. Two children, be-
sides the wife, survive.

There will be no fuss and

Uniforms? Yes, the WAFS will
have uniforms, Mrs. Love told
me at the Wilmington airport,
where she is busy getting things
lined up for her new command.
She said that since the Army is
not bestowing military rank on
these girls, they'll be allowed to
change to civilian clothes when
their works done. They'll wear
trousers on the job and skirts
for street wear.
Nancy Love is %, extremely
good-looking with large blue
eyes and a shock of prematurely
grey hair. She has an engaging,
frank manner She wore large
chronometer nearly as wide as
her wrist, blue chambray
shirtWaist dress and orange
mocassins, and carried a large
satchel purse over her shoulder.
Between long distance calls to
Washington, she explained what
she expects the WAFS will be
called upon to do.
"There'll be a months train
ing to start. Well get drill in the
morning, and half the day will
be spent in classes - the other
half flying.
"Of course we're all experience
ed pilots but We'll have to prove
we can really do job before

tween landing a plane at so m.
