F.S.C.W. Teacher Gets National Defense Post

Tallahassee.—Florida State College for Women received a signal honor from the government recently with the request that one of its faculty, Miss Fannie B. Shaw, nationally recognized health educator worker, loaned as a "dollar a year" woman to the Office of Civilian Defense. Miss Shaw's duties will be to conduct a physical fitness program in the civilian fourth corps area which takes in 8 southeastern states including Florida. Her headquarters will be in Atlanta. She became affiliated last fall with Florida State College in the newly created position of associate professor of education. At present she will serve as coordinator or consultant with the O.C.D. working with supervisors of health and physical education and directors of public health education in the state department of health, also state medical and dental societies and instructors of health education in colleges and universities. She also will continue her work part-time at the state college. Miss Shaw is well known throughout Florida and Georgia as well as national health education circles. She served in the school health education program with the Florida Tuberculosis and Health Association for five years; with the National Youth Administration in Florida; conducted summer courses in health education from the University of Florida, where she also taught in the summer; has acted as consultant in school health education with the National Tuberculosis and Health Association with headquarters in New York City, and with travel in 43 states; and served as director of the division of public health education in the Georgia state department of health. She is a native of Georgia and holds the Bachelor's degree from Florida State College and Master's from Columbia University. She is the author of the text-book "Malden and Materials of Health Education" written in collaboration with Dr. Clair E. Williams, head of the department at Columbia, and used in many teacher training institutions. Miss Shaw is now a member of the joint committee of the American Medical Association and National Education Association for health education. She is a member of Kappa Delta Pi, national education honorary society also.

Civilian Tradesmen Urgently Needed for National Defense

Civil Service officials disclosed today that thousands of additional civilian tradesmen are needed immediately in connection with the expansion of the national defense program. The Navy Yard at Charleston, South Carolina alone, needs hundreds of machinists, caulkers and chippers, pneumatic drillers, punchers and shearers, rivit heaters and toolmakers, for immediate duty. The Air Corps needs thousands of engine mechanics, instrument mechanics, sheetmetal workers, heat treaters, propeller mechanics, wire workers, and many other tradesmen. The officials urged that qualified tradesmen contact any second or first-class post office where full details may be obtained from the civil service secretary.

'Bond Battle' Challenge Made

Jacksonville—(FNS) Even the prophet Daniel would have one heck of a time guessing where Robert Warren, Jacksonville's gesticulating lawyer-orator, will turn up next. Warren, battered down in a local "battle of bonds", Warren startled even himself this week with a challenge to the nation in general. His idea, relayed to the U. S. Treasury department through the office of John L. Fahs, director of the state efforts, is for a coast-to-coast show. Warren will take on any "Damyankee" or any combination of four from the north on a nation-wide radio hook-up battle to sell bonds. He recently came out on the short end of a radio word battle with Elliott Butts, clerk of the circuit court, in a contest to see who could sell the most bonds in one hour over the radio. The contest resulted in the actual sale of $238,000 worth of bonds and stamps, Butts chalking up the most sales. Warren is enroute to New York to address a baseball writers convention and hopes to find a challenge acceptor while in Manhattan.

Army Mail Clerks Have Tough Post

Camp Blanding, Fla.—Army mail clerks at Camp Blanding have a tough job but the mail must go through and every effort is made to deliver a soldier's letter, no matter how strangely it may be addressed. And there are some very strange ones, daily. For instance, the letted addressed to a soldier of the "Airborne Battalion, Camp Blanding." Either the soldier had been pulling someones leg or he was trying to impress a girl friend. There just is no such organization at Camp Blanding. Private First Class Joseph C. Heath, Jr., mail clerk at Camp Headquarters, has the task of finding soldiers who get such mail addressed to, "Private First Class, U. S. Army," and to, "Novice of Parachute, Camp Blanding." The first of these two oddities was actually delivered to the soldier, but the letter had to be opened. It turned out to be a bill. One of the sad aspects of handling all this mail is the improperly wrapped packages of cookies. Either the crumbs spill out or the soldier open the package to find them hopelessly squashed. PFC Heath, of Kernersville, N. C., has handled, in addition to millions of letters, alligators, turtles, fried chicken and hundred of other items during his 13 months as a mail clerk. Particularly vivid in Heath's memory is what he terms "The unfortunate case of the fried chicken." This was a package which arrived from the West Coast. Heath sensed something strange about it, and as it was inadequately addressed to a soldier at, "Madison Avenue, Camp Blanding," he ended up delivering it in person. The grateful recipient who had been expecting it, invited him to stay and enjoy a drum stick. The package was ceremoniously opened and the two soldiers immediately realized it should have been opened two weeks previously. The soldier took Heath out to dinner. "All Out for Victory" will be the theme of the stellar spectacle standing night show at the coming Florida Fair in Tampa, February 13-14, when General Manager P. T. Streider presents the sensational Frank Wirth production, "Thumbs Up," a brilliant revue dedicated to the United Nations.

"OFF WITH THE OLD AND ON WITH THE NEW!"

Let us "Off with the old and on with the new," It never did anyone good to be blue, So why not look nappy—try wearing a smile! It might be a treat to your friends for a while. We've all been so glum, that we tremble and shake At things in the past we would laughingly take; So cheer up, old timers, for everyone's sake, Forty-two's with us now—let's give it a break! Let's start the new year and place a taboo On talk about hard times, and poverty, too, While we throw off the old and put on the new— Just try it and see what will happen to you! —Grace L. Northrup

Finding Of Old Letter Recalls Days Of World War 1

Shades of 1917 were recalled by Mrs. Frances Tippetts Johnson, graduate student of Florida State College for Women, when she ran across an old letter she had written her mother while she attended the state college during World War I. While the present generation of Florida State College students is busily occupied with defense work which ranges from salvaging waste paper to Red Cross first aid courses and evacuation drills, Mrs. Johnston came across this letter written in the spring of 1917: "The college is getting patriotic and since the Red Cross girls are wearing the red, white and blue ribbons instead of the red, white and blue bandanna. We girls have given Tallahassee and the college raised over $600. The junior class this year instead of giving a prom to the seniors are going to give the money to the Red Cross. There was a faculty senior baseball game recently and the admission fees, which were voluntary made $8 for the Red Cross ... the women of the faculty played ... on the campus they had American flags sewed on their middies ... we have a broom-stick brigade ... we use curtain sticks to drill instead of guns ... there was talk about Company C . . . there was talk of a bill having passed the Senate and was now before the Senate—prohibiting the issuing of any more diplomas until the war was over—unless you could prove sufficiently that your father was a pauper. The war is declared. You would have died if you could have seen the clothes of some of the girls ... and when they found out it was a fake, there were some "sold" girls ... the place is quite lively with legislators and page-boys." Mrs. Johnston, who now makes her home in Tallahassee, is a former president of the Alumnae Association, and is doing graduate work now at her alma mater.

Florida Rubber Survey Made

Babson Park, — (FNS) Roger W. Babson has called a meeting of government officials and representatives of the nation's rubber industry as well as leading scientists and others to make a study and survey of the possibilities of producing rubber in Florida. The late Thomas A. Edison, Harvey Firestone and other conducted years of research and while their experiments with goldenrod proved unsuccessful, they uncovered much valuable information on the subject. Recent experiments with another plant in southern California have proved successful with the Babson-conducted company feels confident that the commercial production of the shrub known as grayule will prove the solution to the rubber shortage problem. The same company is now experimenting with the growing of this plant in south Florida and a report of their progress will be heard at the conference called by Babson, which is scheduled for Feb. 18 at Webber College at Babson Park.
