In the midst of any type of excitement. you will always find teen

Ire broke ot ii the top of Saunders Drug store, half the downtown

minutes. Perched atop a flaming red car, I saw Perry James, camera

on hand with his trusty camera, too. I stopped to talk to Sarah Anne
Eaton who was standing with Mrs. Phelps and her young daughter
Ann. Together we spotted lots Of the gang, gazing anxiouAy toward
the top of the building. Most Of them were no doubt wondering if their
regular afternoon mlkshake would be cancelled by the fire. Standing
in the middle of Market street, eyes fixed O the smoke pouring from
the building were Betty Walters and Muggie Parks. Lily Grower
neglected MI. Farmers law business long enough to dash down town
and add one more person to the crowd. Nudge Strange had also for
saken her fathers establishment to stand with Lily and ponder over
the cause of the fire. Frances May came rushing through the crowd
to take her place in the front line Of spectators. Soon my glance fell,

Regretfuly we watched the fire come under control. and l say re-

had to 20 back to work. Nice work, firernen.

I told you that Durwood Orrel was
confined 20 q hospital in New Or
leans because of infected eyes.
He's better now, and back at the
base. Durwood has been doing fine
with his studies. and under the help
Ct his instructors, he's going to try
to make up all the work he miss
ed. If he doesn't, he'll be coming
home soon. But l know you'll
make the grade, Durwood. We're
all pulling for you. Incidentally,
Durwood has been promoted to a

The best jamboree yet was
staged this past Wednesday night
at Lumina, climaxing four jambo-
rees presented entirety by the teen
ayers. This jamboree was diffrent
from the others in a lot OF ways.
First of all, the half-hour show was
broadcast, and those who couldn't
be on hand fer the festivities could
listen in. A newcomer to the field
of voice was starred on the pro-
gram. Miss Martha Denney.
Although she s only seventeen, she
sings with the finished voice OF a
much older person. Her selection
was the song dear to the hearts
OF all, Zone Alone. Bobby Melton
did himself proud with Surrender
and Come Rain or Come Shine"
Bobby just has that certain some
thing in his voice that can't be
beaten. OF cours Sarah Anne
chose two songs that were perfect
1y suited to Ler voice, and render
ed them to perfection. Although
Might and Day" was lovely, my
vote of praise is cast especially for
her rendition of Tomorrow is For
ever. l couldn't begin to list all
the people who were there, but l
can say for sure that Diane Co.'S
tello and BlbDer Sykes were there,
cause when Jimmy Caudill was
singing Cement Mixer, accom-
panied by the Keen-teeners,
he added a cnorus which went like
this Cement mixer, putt, Diane,
- Cement mixer. puttie, Buhber'.
But everything was really swell,
and all Of us who have ben regu-
lar patrons ot the jamborees are
sho going 20 miss them on the few
Wednesday nights that are left in
u summer vacations. l haven't
sent orchids to anyone in some
time, but Id like to send them to
