~PHONOGRAPH RECORDS

Continued from Page One.)
cording companies, who grinds them
up and use the resultant material
in making new records. They pay
the national organization of the
American Legion on a poundage
basis and the American Legion
uses the money to purchase icy
sets of records at lowest factory
prices, and sends them without
charge to the army, navy, marine
corp and the coast guard. Most of
the kits of records have been sent
to overseas stations and to the
fighting ships on and under the
seas.
A set of new records consists of
48 double faced prescriptions, and
each set requires the material from
$50 pounds of solid scrap. The cost
of such a set is approximately SIS,
packed and delivered. National
headquarters states, "while cash is
acceptable, unless we get the scrap
material from which the new re-
cords are made, it is impossible for
the recording companies to furnish
the new records. Since there is
no other material available, it is
essential we collect the old records"
The men and women serving in
the armed forces all over the world
have made known their want for
new photograph records in no I'M
certain way. They say there is
nothing that takes the place of
music when out in the unnamed !
places of the globe in which they
are serving. One young fellow in
the Seventh army writes, "The re-
cord drive is one of the most ap-
rrcciated things you have done for
the men overseas. I never thought
I'd see the day when a record would
actually be played so many times
that it was absolutely smooth and
produced only a few weird sounds
instead Of a tune. But that's one
thing | know happened right in my
outfit. We all are anXiously await
ing the time when your drive will
yield its fruit for us over here"
The reason a new set of records
mas not been sent to that outfit is
thai at the time the American Leg
ion started on the project, it was
estimated that 10000 sets of new
records would be needed by the
armed forces. Since that time the
demand has grown to 35,34O sets.
This takes 8,585,0O0 pounds of scrap
material, of which the workers have
been able to collect only 3,525,0 900
There is also a new group of re-
quests coming into the national
headquarters for records. They
from the men who are in the
army and navy hospitals.

are now enjoying the English
countryside and are perhaps won
dering just when they will take
off on the other side! We are
still predicting an invasion this
month!
The other day we received an
interesting letter from John An
derson, Jr., formerly connected
with this paper. In spite of con-
ditions, etc., John is enjoying the
English countryside. He is one
of those fortunate individuals,
who is always able to get some
good and enjoyment out of life.
Incidentally, he is one of the
most up and coming young news
papermen we know and we ex-
pect big things from him when the
war is over. eve can say all
these things unprecedented because
he happens to be a brother-in-law,
instead of a brother of the writer
Captain Wood and T. S.
Captain Hoyt H. Wood, former
pastor of the West Jefferson Meth
odist church, writes an informa-
tive and interesting letter from
Camp Mackall.
Hoyt tells of the ''TS' slips he
gets. ITS" is the army language
for trouble shooter" which is
what chaplain usually is.
The following from a Division
Paper will be of interest to the
many friends of the Woods, here:
Captain Hoyt H. Wood of the
515th Parachute Infantry has had
some honest-to-goodness rs slips
printed and is now issuing them
to members of the regiment who
need professional guidance beyond
the crying towel stage. The Chap
lain's rs slip, which he calls a f.
F Card, reads as follows:

seem more certain than ever.
We were reminded of a defin-
ute change in fashions this week
when Miss Margaret Phillips
known as the girl with the mil
,1ion dollar smile" was in with a
new skirt on. Many remember
the crazy quilts" pieced by mo-
Tiers and grandmothers. Well,
Margaret had on such skirt. No.
20 was not quilted. On the con-
,trary, it was well tailored to fit
from multi-colored scraps, after
the same fashion that quilts were
once, and still are, by some peo-
pie, pieced. The result was both
startling and effective. Margaret
has a good time recalling certain
dresses and times the skirt repre-
SentS, by the various scraps that
are in it
The Show Goes On!
Last week, the lower grades of
the West Jefferson high school
presented a very successful oper-
eta, which delighted the audi
ence. One of the remarkable
things about it was that it was
presented under such difficulties.
During the final days of rehearsal
several Of the characters were
victims of measles, whooping
cough and one even suffered a
broken arm.
But in spite of these handicaps,
fttae show went on. Ritz Ray, Jr.,
was one Of the leading actors that
had to drop out because of whoop-
ING cough; but he was represented
there, anyway. His little dog,
~sJack', that had practiced so
faithfully I'm the rehearsals, was
<IgaIon hand for the performance,

Catching Fish
We have long thought that
catching fish was an art and
en1dst have a lot of patience mixed
with it. Running a linotype ma
chine also requires these attri-
Sbutes. Jim Story is good at both.
fEhe other Saturday afternoon he
T5Neat fishing with Hoyle String
tar, and the reason we think he is
"A good fisherman is because the
fish he caught tasted so good. In
clder1tally, they were the first fish
from Ashe streams we have tast-
ed this year.
