Reece-Stone Nuptials In New York City
Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Reece of Scandia announce the marriage of their daughter, Verlee, to Pvt. John William Stone, son of Mr. and Mrs. Emery D. Stone of Kansas City. The ceremony took place July 31 at 6:30 p.m. in the Little Church Around the Corner in New York. Pvt. Winfield Harvey of Salina, Kan., acted as best man.
The bride was a member of Gamma Phi Beta sorority and the groom belongs to Sigma Nu fraternity. Private Stone attended K.U. as well as Kansas City Junior College. Private Harvey is a fraternity brother.
The couple will be at home in New York where Private Stone is taking army specialized training in engineering at City College.
HEY, YOU---ladders (stairs) and shuffles out to the guard post wondering why he ever joined up with this outfit and why the Master of Arms has to pick on him for night watches.

A plus utilization of time.
"Well, guess I will take a nice nap until classes start at 0830", says our friend Mac.
"Not on your life, sailor," commands the Apprentice Chief Petty Officer in charge. "You get to your room pronto and htie those books. No ups in the navy."
From 0630 until 1630 (4:30) with an hour interruption for noon chow, the time is spent in classes, studying, and physical education, either in calisthenics or swimming.
Finally, after 10 hours of this regi-
mented schedule, the V-12's are allowed Lawrence liberty from 1630 to 1730 (5:30 p.m.). Evening chow is served at 1730 and again they eat quickly and are back at the P-T by 1810.
Then they play football, listen to the radio, get in bull-sessions to learn all the latest scuttlebutt (gossip), and have a general recreation period until study hours begin at 1930 (7:30).
All is quiet, and I do mean quiet, until 2230 and then, well—they have 30 minutes to release their excess energies built up during their three hours of vigorous concentration before bed check is taken at 2300. Unless they have permission to study, they had better be there too.
Exhausted after the day's activities, we find Mac and his mates on the top deck soon asleep.
"Hm-m, seven hours of shut-eye," thought Mac as he dropped off to a deep slumber.
But, oh, no! About 0145 the next morning his mate comes in, drags him out of his bunk, and tells him he has guard duty at 0200. Mac groans, utters a few unprintable words as he dresses, climbs down the
Engagement Of Reetz-Self
The engagement of Lila May Reetz of Eudora, to Madison A. Self, formerly of Meriden, was announced at Westminster Hall last Monday evening, August 9, at a special house meeting.
Miss Doris Larson of Watkins Hall made the announcement and Miss Mary Jellison passed chocolates to the girls of the Hall and the following guests, Miss Maxine Jones, Miss Betty Lederer and Mrs. Norma Hardman.
The wedding will take place late this summer in York, Pennsylvania. Miss Reetz is a sophomore in the College. Mr. Self received his degree in chemical engineering last spring and is now employed by the York Corporation of York, Pennsylvania.
Out in the open air his mind clears and he understands things in a different way. He realized that down deeps he's proud to be in the navy and that he wants to be an ensign no matter how tough the road is.
"Anyhow," thinks Mac, "this weekend I'll paint the town red and forget this engineering, guard duty and regimentation. That is, providing my grades are okay so I don't get restriction for three weeks."
The V-12's get liberty Saturday from noon chow until 0100 Sunday morning. After morning chow at 0730 they again have liberty until 2300 that night.) In case you haven't mastered the Navy time yet, just put a colon before the last two figures and you have the hour, i.e., 1000 is 10:00. After noon, subtract 12 from the first two figures, and the hour is the same as that used in civilian time.)
Saturday morning is spent cleaning up their boat from top deck (top floor) to the hold (basement), including their rooms, passageways (halls), sleeping quarters, etc. After these duties are accomplished they practice marching for an hour or so or listen to indoctrination lectures.
That's the life of a V-12 living in one of the eight P-T's on the campus. Sounds sort of rugged, doesn't it?
Yes, it is a pretty tough battle, but you can bet that Mac and his mates will see it through and come out with flying colors.
(Ed. note—Next week Miss Foster will write a article on a typical day in the life of a Machinist Mate.)

THERAPISTS---credited until next year when the first senior graduates. When the course was started here there were only five other schools for occupational therapists in the United States. Since then several other universities have added them. Mr. Jaucua of the Manpower Commission in Washington has been encouraging schools to start the course. The government is interested in promoting them because there are so few therapists now and the need is so great, University officials in charge of the program, say.

In addition to the swimming programs of the machinist mates, the V-12 and A-12 students, the natatorial interests of the naval flight cadets and of civilian students are taken care of.
New filters have been installed in the pool, the pumping capacity doubled, and additional purification facilities added. Samples of the water are sent several times daily to the headquarters of the Water and Sewage laboratories on the campus, and the findings sent to army, navy and University health authorities.
While the naval school for machinists mates provides officers to conduct its own physical conditioning program, its swimming program is supervised by the University. As a result, since all army and navy men must take swimming, the swimming schedule is full from 7:30 in the morning until 8 o'clock in the evening every day of the week except Sunday. R. R. Strait, graduate of Ottawa University and former director of physical education at Chanute High, is in charge of the swimming program.
So great is the physical education schedule that the University administration has had many headaches finding accomodations for the many classes. All of which scheduling has finally resulted in Robinson gymnasium being assigned chiefly to naval students and Hoch Auditorium to the army hopeful. And there are practically no hours during the day, including the noon hour, in which classes are not going on in both these buildings.

(continued from page one) to hospitals in different states for their training. They must be trained under a registered occupational therapist, and as there are only three of these in Kansas at present, some will go out of state for training. This is fulfilling the requirements of the American Medical Association. They receive maintenance while working at the hospitals, and when they graduate the women will have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and be registered occupational therapists.
The K.U. course will not be accredited until next year when the first senior graduates. When the course was started here there were only five other schools for occupational therapists in the United States. Since then several other universities have added them. Mr. Jaucua of the Manpower Commission in Washington has been encouraging schools to start the course. The government is interested in promoting them because there are so few therapists now and the need is so great, University officials in charge of the program, say.
At the beginning of the war the navy realized the value of occupational therapy in helping men to recover from battle injuries. The army saw little need for it, so did nothing while the navy grabbed off all of the good therapists in the country, according to one professor. Now the army is looking for therapists.
"Occupational therapy is a serious study, and not for the student who doesn't plan to work," said Miss Marjorie Whitney, associate professor of design who is in charge of the course. "It is similar to nursing but brings the therapist into a more pleasant contact with the patients."
O. T. is a comparatively new profession, starting during the last world war.
Several fellows took it upon themselves to give a pal a regulation fuzz cut, fervent "hep-cats" jazz the brass, but one command that gets action, and fast is, "Watch it, you lugs, there's a female in the building!" Well, you know how it
"We're just out of high school," said Steinzeig, speaking for the A-12's. "and I guess we're still hanging on to that high school spirit. You get an outfit like this together and things happen."
Mrs. H. B. Chubb, wife of Professor Chubb of the political science department, was one of the first therapists in this country. She took her training in private studios and then worked in Walter Reed hospital and the army hospital at Plattsburg New York.

"I've been bunking in a pup tent," said Malcolm Hamilton who has had his basic training in the regular army, "and they get plenty dusty. This is a fine building, but right now it's a little rough even for an enlisted man." But he had that gleam in his eye when he said it.
And then there's the indispensable gripe session—the consolation of the student second only to the check from home. The weather, the food, the regulations, the colonel, the girls on the Hill are hashed over during the day and also at night as the weary sarge travels from floor to floor shouting to them to "for Pete's sake, let's keep it quiet, men." They say the food stories get really good. And even the flies are considered.
"It's cool enough in our room at night," says Bill Dunn, a tall blond number, "and I could use that top sheet the flies pull off the bed every night—the flies get pretty thick up there."
That's the way it is—life and lives in Lindley. These high-spirited A12's and ASTP men giving Lindley hall a real initiation, and a quarter of a century from now some mining engineer on the Hill can look up from his lab table and say, "Fellows, my Pop slept here!"
Q. Does an album filled with Stamps automatically become a Bond that will mature in 10 years?
A. No. It must be exchanged for a Bond, and it will bear no interest until it is so exchanged.
By Gib Crockett.
A. Yes, when bankruptcy or insolvency has been adjudicated and request for payment has been duly executed.
Can payment of a War Savings Bond be made to the receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of the estate of a registered owner?
Q. Can I authorize my employer to set aside portions of my salary each pay day until enough is accumulated to buy a War Savings Bond?
A. Yes, if your employer has installed a Pay-Roll Savings Plan. More than 24 million wage and salary earners are saving their money this way.
Q. Can I invest a lump sum in War Bonds and receive from the investment a return in the nature of an annuity?
A. No. The purchase of each War Savings Bond is a separate transaction. Each Bond is dated as of the first of the month in which payment for it is received by an authorized issuing agent, and matures exactly 10 years from that date.
Remember—the longer you keep War Bonds, up to 10 years, the more valuable they become.
