THE NIGHT BEFORE
CHRISTMAS

It was the night before Christ
mas, and through the camp
yard,
Not a creature was stirring
except the poor guard.
My stockings were tucked in my
shoes to save space
And besides, my tent doesn't
have a fireplace.
My friend in his shorts, and
in my shoes
Had settled down for a nice
tropic snooze
When out in the area there a.
rose such a clatter
That I sprang from my cot to
see what was the matter.
I became so entangled in my
mosquito net
That, if my friend hadn't help
ed me, I'd be struggling yet.
And then very cautiously,
pulled back the flaps,
Half expecting to see a battal-
ion of Japs;
Just imagine my amazement
when I saw instead
The famous St. Nicholas in his
suit of bright red.
He sat in his sled which was
pulled by six jeeps
And they bounced along gaily
in short bounds and leaps.
They came to a halt, and away
Santa went
And then very suddenly he wa
there in my tent.
He was chuckling so merrilJ
that his little fat belly,
Just like in the other poem
was shaking like jelly
And then I thought sure thai
this was a gag

In view of the action taken
by me as stated in another COL
umn of this paper, I feel just
flied in informing my friends
and supporters what prompted
me to resign as your Mayor: I
now find that my business in
terests have so materially in
creased along with some other
business matters that require
my attention, that I cannot
carry the additional load of
caring for the office as Mayor.
You must all admit that my
prime concern is taking care of
my business interests, also in
maintaining my health, we'll
being and peace of mind. I
therefore do not feel justified
in accepting a salary from the
tax payers of the city in pay
ment for a job that I cannot
properly perform and give the
time and attention which it re-
quires. I trust that all of you
will appreciate and understand
my position. The high honor
you have bestowed upon me
during the past four years and
in re-electing me this spring
is very much appreciated. In
the role of a private citizen, I
expect to do all I can to fur
ther the best interests of all
the people of the city. The city
council has elected MI. A. M,
Chilly as Mayor for the unex-
pired term and I feel sure that
he will do a good job. With the
best wishes for the future OF
the city
Very respectfully,

Col. Westray Battle Boyce.
OF Rocky Mount, Put
On Uniform In 1912
By JANE EADS

WASHINGTON, July % - Up -
Suppose General Eisenhower had
gone right from civilian life into
officers candidate school and in
three years ended up head of the
Army.
Something like that happened to
diminutive Westray Battle Boyce.
Mrs. Boyce, 43, prematurely
grey, blue-eyed and tar-heeler
from Rocky Mount, N. c., was a
government worker for eight years.
She put on a uniform in 1912. To-
day the silver eagles of a colonel
CLEAN from her shoulders. She is
director of the Women's Army
Corps-100,000 strong.
She says she joined the WAC be-
cause she thought her joining
might make it possible for some
father of small children to be able
to stay at home"

Boyce replaces Col. Oveta Culp

She was an umpire herself once

to treat the women soldiers exact
ly like the men are treated: same
housing, same ravel accommoda'
ions, same everything.
1.-The other school wanted tc
carry thesWACs on satin pillow"
Col. Boyce says the time has
come when women soldiers are ne
longer a subject for debate. They
have done a good job. Still do. And
they are needed.
They get fair consideration but
no satin pillows.
Associates describe Col. Boyce
as the velvet-glove-with -4he-iron
hand type but explain she is
feminine and charming as we'll.
WAC public relations has this to
add:
Hearing her name, people ex.
pect to see in Col. Boyca formid-
BILE figure. 1t is a name to conjUe
with. But seeing her they see an
almost hoWer-like beauty. She is
feminine as something lovely out
of the nostalgia legends of the old
SOUTH
The battles have lived in Rocky
Mount for more than 20 years.
Many of them have been military
men. Col. Boyce is the niece of
George Gordon Battle, famed New
York attorney. Her mother. Mrs.
H. H. MacKay, lives in nearby
Maryland.

Her young friends call her Web

Col. Boyce collects pictures of
her ancestors, and they decorate
the walls of her home.
"She is a great family person."
one of her associates say. In fact,
some of her relatives are her best
! friends"
When she was in Italy Colonel
Boyce came upon her cousin,
Marion, a private in the American
Army.
A few hours later General Adam
Richmond, judge advocate of that
district, asked her to dine with
him. She replied:
I'm sorry, sir, but I have a date
with a buck private. If the
Lieut.. Col. has date with a
private an explanation is called
for" brusequely replied the Gen.
eral.
The little WAC officer explained
the situation. The General invit-
ed them to dine with him on the
terrace of his villa. Before dinner
they all went swimming in the bay
Of Naples.
Col. Boyce reads historical nov
els, collects silver and antiques,
enjoys riding and swimming and
likes everything above the home
sewing, cooking, cleaning - but
her mother has always claimed
she has mo God-given talents.
Her friends say she makes the
best popovers and angelfood cake
you ever ate.
In Rocky Mount she likes to
walk in the woods with her cocker
spaniel "Laddie'' and sit on the
banks of the Tar river.
She attended the Woman's Col
lege of the University of North
Carolina and Pells Law School,
Raleigh, N. c., but did not get a
degree form either.
For a time she was employed in
the home office of an insurance
company in Raleigh. N. c., then
she came to Washington. She was
War Public Works for the Federal
Federal Works Agency. Earlier she
had been chief clerk OF the Secre-
tarial departments of the Nation
al Recovery Administration and
the Rural Electrification Admin
stration.
She served as a company officer
at the first WAC training center,
Fort Des Moines, Ia, and briefly
as a public relations officer at the
second service command head
quarters, New York.
She then was assigned to the
Fourth Service Command, Head
quarters in Atlanta, Ca, as WAC
staff director. This command
tanned the largest number of WACs
in the country at that time.
Col. Boyce says she has no
immediate new plans for the WAC.
General plans and policies have
already been established she says,
adding:
1.-THE future task lies in the con-
tinuation of the efficient and
maximum utilization of the person
mel toward assisting in ending the
war with Japan
Col. Boyce told members of the
Corps.
"Our work is not over, nor will
it be until the war in the Pacific
is ended. I am confident that you
will uphold your notable record,
carrying on wherever you may be
serving until final victory is
achieved. Then, and only then,
may we justly feel we have
a share in that eventual triumph"
Approximately $4,000 WACs are
serving in England, North Africa,
Italy, France, Belgium. Germany,
Egypt. India, Labrador, Alaska
and Australia. About 5000 are in
the Pacific.
