our teeth in determination, prepar-
ing for the long, hard unpleasant
task ahead.
I'll tell them about the way SER
vice flags were hung in windows of
all kinds of homes in every town
and city, some with one star, some
with two and three-about the one
I saw in a small coal-mining town
with nine stars. I'll tell them about
the way women in Red Cross uni
forms popped up one by one, then
the Waves, the Wacs and the Ma
rines. how chic and trim and cap
able they all looked. about the
women who did mems jobs in fac
tories. how women of all ages,
sizes, and shapes took to wearing
Stacks. how the cost of food be-
came secondary to the number of
ration-stomps required.
I'll tell them about the gallantry
of women who sent their men off
to war. how they made them
selves smile though tears were
spilling out of their eyes. about
the poignant, the sad, the brave
farewells I've watched in railroad
stations, at Grand Central in New
York, at Union Station in Wash
ington, at Pennsylvania Station in
Baltimore. :. how soldiers wives
made the pioneer women seem
puny in comparison to the way
they gave up comforts and luxuries
to assume the roles of vagabonds
and wanderers, following their hus-
bands from town to town like
faithful dogs, often faced with hor-
rible living conditions.
I'll tell them about our brave,
our wonderful men who gladly left
everything that was dear and sweet
to them to make sure that our
children won't have to tell similar
tales to their children. :. how sim
pie country boys became worldly
cosmopolites, letting words like
Casablanca, Casino, Rabaul, Kwaj-
alein roll off their tongues as easily
as once they said Dover, Milford,
and Middletown how suddenly we
all began to know and talk about
remote, hitherto unknown spots of
the world. how our boys wrote
letters home, speaking always and
tenderly of little, familiar things
which once they took for granted.
I'll tell them about the songs we
sang: "When The Lights Go On
Again All Over The World" From
Taps Till Reveille," and They're
Either Too Young Or Too Old. =.
about how the familiar term Fill
'er up" became extinct after gas
how deserted the high
ways and by-ways became. how
we all walked and liked it. how
everyone, even people in large cit
les, became men of the earth, work.
ing industriously in their Victory
Gardens. >. how we all made our
selves go on living as normally as
possible, laughing and joking
though inside our hearts were full
and heavy with the burden of our
chaotic world.
I'll tell them all these things be-
cause as long as 1 live, I'll never
forget.

her parents for awhile until she can
join her doctor-husband, "Marve, u
a lieutenant with the U. S. Army
Medical Corps. Dotty popped into
the Times Office last week, planted
herself firmly in front of our desk
and announced that she had to
have something to do" Being the
obliging sort, it seemed too good to
be true to find ourself saying why
not write the What-Not column for
next week." With glee, under
stand. Said Dotty, What in the
love of all the saints is the What
Not Column?
Feathers fell, gloom descended,
tears were choked back, but after
all, Dotty is nice girl, even if
sometimes she doesn't show ordin-
airy intelligence.
Well, she caught on pretty fast
so here is Dotty's message.
'T'M GOING TO TELL THEM
By Dorothy Handloff Footer
When I was child I often heard,
but without real comprehension,
my parents speak of the peculiar
tiles of life during the days of the
first World War. They spoke of
"heatless Mondays" and "gasless
Sundays, of how they did without
sugar and how they had to buy a
pound of starch with every pound
of flour. What will be our story
after World War II?....
I'm going to tell my children
about those first days after Pearl
Harbor. the Mortified, striker look
in everyone's eye. the numbness
in everyone's heart. TIL tell them
about the boiling rage and hatred
We felt for the little yellow men OF

The postage on letters was ten
cents, and made payable either by
the sender or receiver. There were
no postage stamps or envelopes,
and the letters were generally writ
ten on a large sized letter sheet,
folded in a peculiar manner, and
either sealed with safers or sealing
wax.
Very many of the present gen.
Grafton and residents of Smyrna
have little knowledge of the Won
derful changes, and for that reason
I have thought these "reminiscences

The Old and the New Way of Re
ceiving and Forwarding the Mails
Meadow Lawn, Feb. 10, 1894
Editor of The Smyrna Times:
Looking over some very old let
tiers received when boy at John
Bullock's boarding school, Whining
ton, Del, way back in 1841, it be-
comes quite reminder of the
events that transpired at that time
and the privations that the people
experienced as compared with those
comforts and luxuries the present
generation enjoys.
Going from Smyrna to Whining
ton passengers had to get up as
early as o'clock in the morning,
breakfast, and get ready to take
the stage coach that carried the
daily mail, passengers and their
baggage.
One of the drivers of the stages
at that time was Alexander H.
Wilson, who yet lives in Smyrna,
quite hearty and active. 1t re-
quired nearly the whole day to
reach Wilmington, for every post
office on the route received the
mail, and the stage coach had to
wait until it was changed and then
proceed, the last post office being
New Castle.
The stage coaches had four seats
inside and carried twelve passen-
gers, two seats on top, five for
travellers and one for the driver,
who always sat on the right with
four reins in his hands, a long
hickory whip stalk with long whip
lashes securely fastened to the end
with which the driver could easily
reach his two lead horses. Wilson
was regarded as one of the best
drivers, always jolly and in good
humor The hind part of the stage
coach had place where the
trunks, valises and bundles were
carried called the boot, and in the
front of the stage, in the foot, the
mail bags were carried so that they
were always under the eyes of the
driver. Frequently there were
packages of money forwarded by
the banks, as we'll as letters con-
tanning bank bills, drafts, checks,
etc., there being no other mode of
transmittal, for we had no rail-
roads or express companies.
One of the peculiar features of
the arrival of the stage coach con-
tanning the mail late in the after
noon-for we had but one mail
daily-wa,s when driver Wilson
would turn the bend of the road
in the upper end of the town. He
would blow long horn, about four
feet in length, or sometimes his
bugle, in order to notify the towns
people the mail was coming. When
they heard the music, (for jews
harps, mouth organs, fiddles and
accordeons were about all the in
struments the people had to make
music the townspeople would run
to their doors and windows to see
the stage coming, and when the
mail was delivered at the post Of
flee and assorted, the people would
eagerly go there to get their news
paper or letter.

AT recent meeting of the Coun-
Gil OF Social Agencies of which
the William Johnson Bethlehem
Center is member, a motion was
made and passed, asking the Coun-
Gil to name a project committee to
make social study of the recrea-
tlonal and other leisure time needs
OF the Negroes in Jackson. There
is reason to believe that this means
enlarged opportunity in postwar
days; a program similar to the one
now being offered by the William
Johnson Bethlehem Center only
greatly enlarged.
Another trend which should

mean much to the Negro citizens
OF Jackson, says Miss Ruth M. Car
ryer, Executive Supervisor of the
William Johnson Bethlehem Center,
is the recent election of Mrs. J..
Morgan Stevens to the Board Of
Directors of the Community Chest.
This Board is all white, but aims
at having every civic and social in
terest in Jackson represented.
Mrs. Stevens is the president of
the bi-racial Board of Directors of
the William Johnson Bethlehem
Center and is as we'll able to rep
resent the social interests of the
Negroes on the Board of Directors
of the Chest, as any white person
in the city of Jackson.
A third trend, continues Miss
Carryer, which should give us
courage and make us appreciative,
is the fact that the William John
son Bethlehem Center has re-
Gently been given representation on
the Juvenile Delinquency Council
of jackson, one of the oldest and
most influential social planning
and action bodies in the city.
Here are opportunities to forge
ahead and help build for lasting.
social improvement. If you are in
terested in your people as well as
yourself and you don't know at
first hand about your community
center, you are invite to come by
and get acquainted. The Center is
at SOB N. Parish ST., across the
street from the Soldier Center.
A new booklet: The History and
Development of the William John
son Bethlehem Center is just off
the press. If you are interested in
seeing a copy of it, come by the
Center office in the near future as
the supply is limited.
This booklet has been widely dis
tributed over many sections of the
United States and already very in
teresting comments have been re-
ceived from six states, besides
Mississippi.

AUSTRIAN ACCENTS
DIFFER FOR FILMS

HOLLYWOOD.-The Austrian ac-
cents which both Marjorie Rey-

their respective roles in their new
pictures differ as the screen char
acterizations themselves vary.
Both portray Austrian refugees
who have made their way to Eng
land-Marjorie as Carla Hilfe in

Dora Brakeman in 1.-The Hour Be-
fore the Dawn" but the dialogue
director taught each of the stars
separate type of infection to use
IN their parts. With the Lake ac-
cent the emphasis is nthe gutteral
quality. Reynolds speaks with a
soft and light accent, which re-
fleets the sympathetic nature Of her
role.
