Glamor Manor has its ups and

descends to street level, Cliff Ar

Hal Stevens sings “It Had To Be

plays “I Got Plenty of Nothin\”

involved in your whole life. That
is what happens in the Blue Net
work’s broadcast of My True Story,
Thursday, July 20, at 9:00-9:25
a.m., CWT. The drama is called
“For Keeps.”
When his younger brother re
turned from combat, a hero, the
older brother, as was natural, felt
elated as is shown in the My True
Story broadcast of Friday, July
21. But when the older brother’s
wife started going all over town
with the younger man, the usual
difficulties ensued. The story of
“Kid Brother” is one that listeners
will long remember.

The orchestra under the direc
tion of Harry Kogen will occupy

ling presentation of “Darktown
Strutter’s Ball,” and then accom
pany Curley as he sings “Ah Ha.”

The maddening problem of what
is a woman’s hat nowadays and
whether the average crazy skim
mer is entitled to be called a hat
anyway, will be discussed with as
much gravity as the question de
serves by “Judge” Ransom Sher
man and his Nitwit Court over the
Blue Network Tuesday, July 18,
at 7:30 p.m., CWT.
Sherman, who wears his judicial
robes with the same dignity in
which less subtle comics sport a
false nose and baggy pants, will
have as his jurors the regulars
Arthur Q. Bryan as “Wayman
Wadcliffe,” Mel Blanc as “Bige
low Hornblower,” and Sarah Ber
ner as “Bubbles Lowbridge.”

half hour of whacky fun will be

Upon hearing of a Navy chap
lain who married three sailors in
15 minutes, Charles Irving, quiz
master on the Blue Network’s
Coronet Quiz Quiz (Saturdays,
8:55 p.m., CWT) remarked: “He’s
a fast man—makes twelve knots
an hour.”

Lew Green, as producer of the
Blue Network's Breakfast Club
(Monday through Saturdays, 8:00-
9:00 a.m., CWT), finds it necessary
at times to prod the orchestra. As
a result, musicians call him “Simon
Le Green.”

Though she is one of the busiest
vocalovelies on the air, Nancy Mar
tin, Blue Network songstress heard
on her own show, Hellow Sweet
heart (Saturdays at 4:45 p.m.,
CWT) always finds time to enter
tain servicemen. Her recent trip
to the Naval Air Training Station
at Ottumwa, la., is an example of
why she’s been called the “B-29 of
Morale Builders.”
After a four-hour ride on a
stuffy milk-train, Nancy was met
at the station by an enthusiastic
throng of naval air cadets. Escort
ed by a guard of honor to a sta
tion wagon, she was promptly
whisked to the Officer’s Club
where she delighted her audience
with a half hour of song and
friendly patter.
From there, Nancy went to the
station hospital where she brought
appreciative smiles with her songs
and greetings. Then in rapid suc
cession she sang at the enlisted
men’s mess, the cadet mess, and
the WAVES dormitory. Escorted
by proud “boots,” she bowled, rode
in a jeep, went swimming, and
then entertained the commanding
officer and his staff.
Leaving the officers, the attrac
tive Blue Network star immediate
ly went into a practice session with
a group with whom she was to
sing later that evening. The re
hearsal ended just in time for her
to answer the curtain call for an
appearance before 2,000 “boots.”
Nearing the point of exhaustion
(the thermometer hovered at 108
degrees all day) the pretty singer
finally was escorted into the post
exchange for a bite to eat.
When Ensign Kevin Sweeney,
public relations officer, asked
what he could offer her in partial
appreciation, Nancy thought a mo
ment and then replied: “Two boxes
of kleenex.”
(And she got them!)

Beaumont Enterprise
“Killing mad” is the phrase used
by Captain Jimmie Cokinos, class
of ’40, to express his feelings when,
on the Momote, one of the Admir
alty islands, he found a dead Jap
with a Texas A. & M. belt on the
body. Captain Jimmie decided that
it was taken from a dead Aggie on
Bataan or some other place in the
Pacific theatre by the little son-of-
(tish tish) heaven.
Jimmie offered some advice
worth listening to. “After the first
shot has been fired, you get over
being scared and just go around
doing things that you have been
taught to do, automatically. That
is why training officers insist that
recruits (or Fish) do the right
things over and over . . . under
fire they do the right things un
consciously.”
I wonder why
Birds sing just before day break
. . . city people go to the country
and country people go to the city
for the same thing . . . Aggies nev
er are allowed to sit in air condi
tioned passenger coaches . . . men
sweat and women perspire . . .
they call a fish a poor fish . . .
TSCW women are all alike ... I
can’t understand women . . . she
called him a teaspipper with Ag
gie intentions ... I never get back
from a week-end until Monday
morning ... all the Aggies congre
gate in one place on Greenville
Avenue in Dallas ... I can be
lonesome for her without her be
ing lonesome for me . . . she
doesn’t like for me to late date.
Off-Campus Distractions
Thumbing this past weekend was
fast. Just took some of the fellows
four hours to get out of Bryan.
Men went north in droves while a
few went west with even fewer
going south. Can you blame them
in this heat?
Reports are that a few misguid
ed souls found their way up to
Denton. Well, they were misguided
by the time they returned to Col
lege Station. These Tessies. Tes-
sie-land will begin a new summer
term along about the 19th of this
month. Be pretty much a change
of faces so if things were getting
too complicated to handle among
the old personnel maybe one of
them will be gone for the rest of
the summer.
There is one big trouble with
TSCW. A guy going with a nice
(Give it your own definition) girl
up there nearly always meets
someone a little better. There is
always one just a little bit more
attractive than the one the guy is
going with. Get on your horse and
play the field. The pasture is green
now but later in the summer they
will have learned a lot.
Aggie Exes Receive
Citations, Promotions
Another group of Aggies exes
have just received citations and
commissions. They are Hansford
Lee Sandlin, James DuBose, Don
ald M. Davis, and Warren H. Tom
linson.
Sandlin, son of Hardy L. Sandlin
of San Angelo was commissioned
a second lieutenant in the U. S.
Marine Corps after completing
advanced flight training at Corpus
Christi. He is to be assigned to
active duty with a flying Leath
erneck squadron.
DuBose has reported, for duty
at the Carlsbad Army Air Field
in New Mexico. He was commis
sioned June 27 upon completion of
cadet training at Douglas, Arizona.
He is the son of Mrs. E. A. Du
Bose of Fort Worth.
Davis also reported to Carlsbad
Army Air Field in New Mexico.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J.
E. Davis of Nederland, Colorado.
Davis received his commission at
the same time DuBose received his.
Lt. Tomlinson was recently
awarded the Air Medal for meri
torious achievement in bombing
attacks on Germany. Tomlinson re
ceived his commission at Elling
ton Field last February 4. He is
the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank G.
Tomlinson of Dallas. His wife and
son also reside in Dallas.
He who is pleased with himself
has a poor memory.
