CURLEY TOP
Speaks for ON.

11C11O, CNClyUONy 11CAC 10 OuL ICY
Top again, wishing for all who are
on furlough pleasant stay at
home and all who haven't been so
fortunate as yet, an early date on
the furlough calendar.
Our unit training is about to get
into sfull swing and the men are to
be commended for the way they
are accepting their training and
putting it into practice Our black
out driving is improving in every
respect and everyone seems to be
developing a good pair of night
eyes.
The recreational program in our
company has been greatly improved.
Since our activation, it has been
the dream of our officers and en-
listed men to awake one morning
and find a we'll equipped dayroom.
Well, their dream has come true.
When they awoke this morning
they found in our dayroom a num-
ber of divanS and other comfortable
chairs; floor lamps, magazine racks
with magazines, pool table, ping
pong table, card tables and games
of every sort to amuSe both the
young and old. To top it all off, I
think I hear music in the distance.
The men are using these facilities
in fine manner and I'm sure they
will care for them so we will have
them for long time.
No one person can be given all
the credit for this achievement,
but 1st Sgt. AL Thomas and Pvt.
Leo Claiborne are due great por-
ton of the honor and all of the
men really appreciate their efforts.
1t always pleases me to announce
promotions Here are the last to be
granted in our company. From IT'S
to Sgt. Harry Green, Jr. From Pfc.
to Cpl. James Mason, James Green,
Randolph Donaldson, George Reed,
Kenneth johnson and Charles H.
Curl. From Pvt to Cpl. Charlton
Carson. From Pfc. to TVS Wesley
Carver and James Shortt. regret
that in last weeks issue the follow
ing promotions were omitted. From
Pvt. to Pfc. William F. Edmonds
and Lorenza Forbes, Jr.
Valentines Day was last Monday.
I am sure that all of the lovely
bellies all over the country were re-
minded with Valentine greetings.
Too bad that these greetings could
not be delivered in person.
In closing, it is my hope that
next weeks news from Curley Top
can be written in Richmond, Va,
and if it seems a bit on the senti-
mental side don't blame me-for love
can be SO beautiful.
Until next week,
Cpl. CHARLES H. CURL,

Bock From the Wars

The unnerving din Of artillery
barrage and fire from German long
range guns trained into the port
that didn't stop from sunup to sun
down at the AnZio beachhead in
Italy is the most poignant war
memory of Capt. August Koenig,
home after two years overseas.
Capt. Koenig kept an eye on his
4-year-old son Billy, dressed in an
Army Air Forces uniform complete
with Sam Browne belt, as he related
his experiences during an interview
at his home, 1888 Clay street NE.
"All through the other campaigns
from the African invasion on
there was nothing to compare with

the action at Anzio," Capt. Koenig
said.
Wounded in Air Attack,
He was wounded there during an
aerial attack on the port when he
stopped while inspecting battery
to man q -millimeter antiaircraft
gun. A bomb from a Focke-Wulf
100 had its intended effect.
He and one member of that gun
crew survived the day--"the worst
I've ever experienced, Capt.
Koenig said.
Another not-so-pleasant memory
OF Anzio that Capt. Koenig would
like to forget, but never will, Is the
remains of the hospital area after
1t had been shelled by German
artillery.
Member of an antiaircraft bat
talon which has been on duty
longer than any other in the Euro
pean theater, the captain always
got little laugh about the gunfire
when he remembered soldiers
remark to him at the North African
landing.
The men were preparing to get
into the landing boats, and they
could hear the firing of French
guns.
Lieutenant, this reminds me of
home" said one of the men.
What do you mean?" the officer
demanded, surprised
This sounds just like Harlan

iectives and a different program.
In answer to a number of perth
nent questions voiced by inter-
ested women, Mrs. Rowe stated
that, IN her opinion. it is not well
for program committees to detail
them. but to have them flexible
in order to meet the ever-chang-
ing conditions Of the present, and
to be ready for emergencies, while
still holding to a selected objec-
tive.
The speaker also stressed the
Importance of a war service COM
mittee In addition to the six sta
bilized committees, such as mem
bership, program, publicity, fl
nance. etc. This committee should
be prepared TO function quickly
should the government call upon
the Parent Teacher association

tlon functions through the sum-

lin such committees as the round
up, in which surveys of the ply
steal condition of children who
are to enter school for the first
time in the fall, will be made in
order to overcome defects and
have these youngsters in prime
condition for the beginning of
their school years.
Finances and ACCESSIBILITY of
budgeting was also gone into
quite thoroughly by the speaker.
Many other details in connection
with the work of the PTA were
also gone into.
In conclusion, Mrs. Rowe stat
ed that while the PTA had no
special uniform that in keeping
the home fires burning and the
doors of the schools open during
these unsettled times the members
are as surely doing war work as

New Member OF Brumfield Store Family

The newest member Of the
Brumfield store family, Brum-

the youngest but in the few
months that it has been open it
has quickly shed its swaddling
clothes and Is assuming the stur-

II was the following month,

that the small quarters c0aid notl

P~oscogoulo Parent
Teacher Groups
Organize Council

In nswer to a wide
call to all Parent Teacher associa-
tions to meet at the USO in Pas
cagoula Tuesday afternoon at
2:30 o'clock, a number of inter
ested women gathered in the
club rooms there.
To the disappointment of those
behind the movement the only
response to the call came from
the Pascagoula associations, and
when 1t became apparent that no
other town was represented ii was
decided to organize as a city coun-
Gil.
This was done after a School
of Detectives" had been conduct
ed by Mrs. Rowe, field worker
for the National Parent Teacher
association who has been conduct
ing such a course in Mississippi
cities.
Visitors from other cities were
also Mrs. L. w. Aston, of Hat
tiesburg, district chairman for the
state body and Mrs. c. c. Clark,
OF Gulfport, who has recently re-
tired from the presidency of the
Mississippi PTA. They were in
troduced by Mrs. Warren B.
Seely.
Before going into organization,
Mrs. Rowe gave an informal talk
on the detectives of the nation
al Parent-Teache association dur
ing which time she explained that
this body is unique in that it has
no federated nor affiliated clubs
for all members, even of the
smallest local organization of the
KIND, are automatically members
OF the state, and in turn, of the
National Parent-T Teacher associa-
ton.

had been called together to or

jurisdiction over any of them.
