Observations On High School Band,
Football Activity And World Series
By TICK MALARKEY
Charlie Ricketti and hit Rose
burg high school band! These boys
and Kills really entrance me.
Football Is Incidental when Malar
ky watches the Indians play. Fri
day night was my lastest seeing
and hearing of the lads and lassies
from the valley of the Umr
qua. They had a good
work out, for while we sat
in darkened stands waiting the
resumption of hostilities on the
turf below where Reedsport was
being thoroughly walloped Char
lie's "children" never let up. It
was music, real music and those
of us out here by The Grove liked
every note we heard.
Yes, my teen-ager Molly was
more than right when she said,
"Dad, you should see and hear
that Rosehurg High School
band." Molly's ambition now Is
to be a drum majorette. A short
time ago she wanted to be a cow
girl.

Twenty of us, with Joe Toman,
were at the game. Some of the
f;roup were backs, guards, tack
es, centers or ends of other riavs.
"Gray beards" of I. or "Kids"
from II. Your high school club
is much improved; they are not
the same outfit we saw stumble
down, but always fighting,
against Medford. The two lick
ings they have taken have taueht
the lesson which only experience
can bring. Rosehurg is beinning
to look sharp. Good coaching is
beginning to reap it's reward. We
are going to see 'em again.
That bench for the DADS. My,
how I wish that I was a DAD with
a kid out on Finlay field! It is a
safe bet that there wasn't one of
the two dozen or more of them
who wasn't feeling his vest but
tons tighten as the Indians scalp-

"Tick's" Tips On
Veterans Hospital
When Ruth S. Bloom, new chi 1
nurse, took over the top nursing
spot here at the "Vet's BY TDK
GROVE," one of the first
changes made was to name as
her assistant Miss GEORGIA
MOSS. Major Moss If you please
of the United States Army Nurse
reserve corns. With the entire
medical staff, the employed per
sonnel and the patients, the pro
motion of Miss Moss was a wel
come one and a deserved step
up the ladder for this lady who
saw active service for 37 long
months overseas In the European
theater of War II.
A glimpse of her background:
Graduated from Minor Hosnlt
al School of Nursing, as Seattle.
Attended the University of Wash
ington and was an active mem
ber of the Garrma Phi Beta so
rority. Then followed courses in
nursing education at Teacher's
college. Columbia university, at
New York. Granted was her
bachelor's degree.
When the black clouds of war
began to darken Europe. Nurse
Moss enlisted in the United States
army. The year was 1939. Came
Pearl Harbor and we were in.
When the unit to which Miss Moss
signed landed in England their
stop was lor only two weeks. Just
time enough to gather together
their equipment and land on
"UTAH BEACH." From there it
was all the way through until
Wed., Oct. 12, 1949-Tht Newt-Review, Rosehurg, Ore. 3
"unconditional surrender" became
a reality instead of a request.
Major Moss came marching
home to Seattle. Discharged.
Here she took up civilian life and
acted as assistant director of
nurses at the Children's Ortho
pedic hospital and counselor In
the state of Washington for the
state nurse's association, district
No. 2. Still not too busv to Join
the American Legion. World War
Nurses. Post 169, and serve i
Its adjutant.
"Those wonderful American
boys When I remember them as
they came to our hospital out of
linei at St. Lo, the Bulge at Baa
togne and other fronts, words fall
me. AMERICA MUST NEVER
FORGET THEM." A mist filmed
the keen, blue eyes of Georgia
Moss.
My Interview had ended.
The Bronx Zoo displays its bril
liantly colored tropical birds in
the Jewel Room, where visitors
stand in darkness and look into
small beautifully planted com
partmenta lighted by flourescent
tubes In order to see the brilliant
plumage to best advantage.

THE WORLD SERIES. IT Is
over and the Yankees are in
again. Because End Bruce Hitt
once pitched for the New Yorkers
in the davs of Babe Ruth and
Athletic Director Joe Toman was
so closely associated', with Vic
Raschi, the winning flinger of
Sunday, during their war serv
ice, the Casey Stengel crew seem
ed to have the majority of the
supporters among the patients.
At any rate every radio on ev
ery ward was going full last. And
around them standing room was
at a premium. A right hand to
Casey-Stengel and Tom Turner,
who pairing together In their first
year away from the Pacific Coast
league, not only won the Ameri
can league pennant but thorough
ly thrashed the never say quit
Bums from Brooklyn In the
world's classic of baseball.

Mv thank to Elmer C. Brown
for his letter of Oct. 4th. It is
encouraging to know that some
one had read my piece in the
Roseburg News-Review. Mr.
Brown gives his address in care
of the First Methodist church and
wrote: "It would be a good idea
to have a column at least once
a week. I am sure there are quite
a few folks here in town who
would enjoy your local gossip and
news in and around the hospital."
My sincere thanks again Elmer
C. Brown.
APOLOGIES TO YOU GOOD
LADIES. A week or so ago a
mention was made of the "culin
ary cottage" supervised by MAR
GARET PEGGY JOYCE. In a
"pearl diver's" customary hurry
to be last In the suds and first in
Ihe "chow" line, Malarkey com
pletely overlooked the tact that In
this kitchen there are a dozen or
more fine girls who three times
dally go all out to see that the 600
or more patients are quickly and
properly fed. In addition there is
quite a few of the staff and op
erating personnel. Names of Peg
gy's girls follow: Mamie McKay,
Edith Sturgell. Goldle White. He
lena Artman, Frances Polk, Nora
Carmlrhael, Helen Rice, Laura
Oden, Vera Moore, Effle Crouch-
er. Myrle Allen and Millie Cough-
ran.

GASOLINE J
PING-FREE POWER !
Into the highland or along the highway wherever you drive
you'll like the ping-free power that'a in Chevron Supreme
Gasoline. It sails you over hills, gets you,off fast at traffic lights,
lets you cruise with ease on the open road. You get ping-free
power wherever you buy it. It's climate-tailored for every
temperature and altitude zone in the West. For today's high
compression engines, you can't buy a better gasoline.
We take better care of your car
Al the twilight of this early
Fall afternoon is about to mingle
with darkness one hears the drip,
drip, drip of the Chinook wind's
tears one sees the leaves danc
ing across the lawns dressed in
their party gowns. There are ri
fles singing in the Umpqua where
a few evenings ago there wa
only a murmur. Eddies now swirl
instead of lazy water. Dam lt-all;
It's time to go fishln'. Those
silver salmon and steelhead trout
must be coming home.
Won't somebody do something
about it?
Malarkey has a fever.
Oh Lord, as I lie in this lonely bed
A prayer, I offer Thee.
Thanks for life, so quickly sped.
Make me the man I want
to be.
"30" for this evening.
Sincerely,
"TICK .
