enemy units on Allied troops. They
also protected ports where troops
might be embracing for combat
areas. A lot of this work included
studying the conditions of the
weather in order to determine at
what point the smoke screens
would be set off.
MY chance to study weather
conditions really came when we
got to England. While there two
out OF my group were picked to
work with the British. We found
the British to be very cooperative
and friendly, and there is where
got my real chance to study met
eorology," Wilson stated. He con-
tinued by saying that, my work
then was very interesting and en-
couraging. I shall never forget
how much interest the British
soldiers took in trying to teach us
all that they knew about this
science he added. While with the
British, he worked with the 5th
Royal M1raehesnT. T AA FADA
Royal Marines. They operated
weather stations in Brixham, En-
gland and in Cherburg, France, as
well as participated in "D-Day"
operations when the Allies invaded
Germany. Mr. Wilson was able to
obtain two battle stars to his
credit during these operations.
The different countries visited
by Mr.. Wilson and his unit were:
England, France, Belgium and
Germany. Most of his stay was in
England. He spent two years over
seas. Els entire stay in the army
was three years, which he claims
was an experience much to his
credit
Mr.. Wilson is native of Mem
phis, and before entering the
army he had been deeply interest
ed in architecture. Although, he
is taking courses in the natural
sciences" his love for the former
hasn't yet been altered. He is try
ing to take full advantage of the
educational program under the CT
Bill of Rights.
He rose to the rank of sergeant
while in the service.

MEMPHIS, TENN. - (SNS) -
An interview would reveal that
among the many veterans now
taking courses at IeMoyne College,
would be men from almost every
branch Of the service who fought
in both theatres of operation and
also sailed the "seven seas" This
feature will include a brief episode
of the activities Of veteran Shelby
Wilson, student in natural scien-
ceS," who often states that the
army was a great help to him in a
lot of ways and one of the things
that inspired him towards more
and better education. Today at Le-
Moyne he is trying to capitalize on
that inspiration by taking advant-
age of the educational opportuni-
ties available under the CT Bill
of Rights to all veterans leaving
the army with an honorable dis
charge.
Like thousands OF other young
men just entering the army, Will
son was somewhat at a loss when
he was indicted and wonderer
around for sometime without a
special job. When he tried for Of
ficers' Candidate School there were
no vacancies in either branch of
service However, his alertness and
ability to get along attracted the
attention of his commanding Of
ficer who summoned Wilson to his
office. During the discourse, it
was discovered that Wilson had a
fine background in science, which
caused his commanding officer to
recommend him for meteorology
school where he was able to study
and become a weather man" and
paved the way for further study
when he went overseas.
Wilson, together with several
other colored soldiers operated
their weather statio,l at Camp
Sibert,. Alabama. When he was
transferred to Europe he became a
member of the 9th Division, a
detachment of the Chemical War
fare Unit which took part in most
major operations in the European
Theatre. There were two colored
Chemical Warfare units, the 87th
and the 82nd. The main job of
these units was to put up smoke
screens during bombing attacks of
at his home.

One of the most popular radio

Produced entirely by the men

the show is called Thirty Minutes

the Texas State Prison board and

SERVICE FOR DEPOSITORS
Fruit Growers Bank Introduces
New Checking Service

rTub UIOWtis IdIIk DibI IUuuceo
New Checking Service
Beginning next Monday, July
1st, the Fruit Growers National
Bank & trust Company will intro
duce a new checking service called
Check Master. One of the exclu-
sive features of Check Master is
the fact that the depositor re-
ceives a personalized wallet and
checks. The depositor's name is
printed on each check and stamp
ed in gold on an attractive wallet,
which is available in a choice of
f; five different colors. The Check
Set the wallet contains has a
bound-in blotter, calendar, list of
holidays with days and dates, de-
posit page and other distinctive
! features. No minimum balance is
ever required and there is no
monthly service charge regardless
of how small the depositor's bal
ance is at any time. A Check
Master account may be started
with a deposit of any amount from
81 up. The only charge to the
depositor is sc per check used or
item deposited. This is the gist
of an announcement just issued by
HI. R. Bodley, President of The
Fruit Growers National Bank and
Trust Company, telling of his in
stitution's plans for the new
Check Master department. "We
are pleased, indeed" says the
statement from Mr.. Bodley, ito
announce the introduction of
CheckMaster to the area we serve.
Please note that CheckMaster will
supplement our commercial check
ing facilities, which will continue
as hitherto. One of CheckMaster's
chief purposes is to serve those
who did not enjoy the convenience
of a checking account heretofore.
It's modern and businesslike to
pay by check, and the personalized
check makes an even better i'm
preston. Of course, there is moth
ing on the check to indicate that
only small balance may be on
deposit. An account in Check
Master makes it possible for the
depositor to pay bills conveniently
by check at home or wherever he
finds himself. 1t allows the deposi-
tor to shop or travel without the
risk of carrying large sums of
money.
