Bruce Edwards, pictured at the
right, has done lot of travelling
in his l3 years. And in the course
of it he has added many interesting
items to his two collections-service
insignia and postage stamps.
Right now Bruce is living at 1925
South Stafford avenue, Arlington,
and attending darlington Ele-
mentary School But by this time
next week he'll be living in Chevy
Chase and, in all probability, trans
ferring to another school. That's
all right with him, of course, but
he'd like it heap better if it meant
new insignia or new stamp.
Bruce was born in Honolulu be-
cause his father, an Army officer,
was stationed there. With his
mother, the wife of Brig. Gen. E. A.
Evans, he has lived in the Wash
ington area since l943.
I'VE came here from Miami" "
Bruce will tell you. That's where
l. started collecting insignia. Now
I have at least 200 and before I'm
finished I expect to have lot more"
Among the places Bruce has called
home" are Panama, New York,
California and Texas. He and his
mother were evacuated from Pan
anna in l94l, going to Miami by way
Of New Orleans.
MY stepfather is always on the
lookout for insignia for me-" Bruce
says, "and other people give me
some, too. Every once in a while
run across an insigne I don't have
and, If necessary, I buy it. When
ever I have more than one Of a
kind I try to trade them of to
some other collector for some I
don't have. That's really more fun,
I guess, than buying them. or even
having them given to you"
AS for the stamps, Bruce has so
many he has lost count of them
Loads and loads" is the best esti-
mate he can give.
Speaking of travel-you may re-
member The Junior Stars old
friend, Ashton Mossburg, the Wash
ington-Lee High School boy whose
hobby was collecting travel folders.
For years, he did his travelling by
armchair and Scrapbook; then he
got a Red Cross job that called for
some real getting around.
Well. Ashton is taking another
trip next Sunday-one not described
in any of the travel folders in his
scrapbook. He'll be accompanied
by Evelyn Airline Critchfeld, and
their destination will be the altar
of Arlington Methodist Church,
where they will become Mr.. and
Mrs.
OF course, the best wishes of the
J. S. will 60 with them.
And speaking Of marriage-Mil-
dred Sears, Roosevelt High School
correspondent of The Junior Star
back in l939-4o, has become en-
gagged to Fred B. Miller of Charles
ton, S. c. Since graduating from
the University OF Maryland in 1914,
Mildred has been teaching speech
therapy for the District Society of
Crippled Children and the Wash
ington Communication Center. The
date of her marriage hasn't been
set.
Jim Lemon, l5-year-old Anacostia
High School student, continues to
make progress with his Congress
Heights newspaper, the monthly
New Moon. Now, he announces,
he's investing about $50 in an ad-
dressing machine that will enable
him to get copies to subscribers the
day of publication. rather than
three days later.
incidentally. a short story in the
current issue, Hi, Nom I'm
Home is continued from one page
to another. And Jim has such a
keen sense of humor. l know he
won't begruGge me a chuckle over
the heading on the continued part:
Hi, Mom-em Home-from %. ="
