MARSHALITE 1945 PROPHECY fcontinuecll A channel of service will be open for a tall, pretty, sincere mem- ber of this crew. Hazel Smallwood will receive her training in the Army Nursing Corps and will find a place on the staff of the newly installed socialized medical department for Fauquier County. Espe- cially will she be interested in the child-health programs in the schools. Thelma Jeffries will go in for training the future cooks. seam- stresses and home makers of Marshall. Some day she will realize what a job it is to teach girls to operate a sewing machine and make edible biscuits. However, she will have a spacious, up-to-date Home Ec. cot- tage and not ONE, but fifty sewing machines. Speaking of home making, Virginia Creel will become such a success as a wife that she will write a best seller, How to Get and Keep a Husband. In fact she may rival Dorothy Dix, begin now thinking of questions to ask her. Father Nereus recently revealed to my sister Nereid and me that Ethel Welch will become the number one secretary of the nation. Efficiency will be her outstanding characteristic: when she takes over an office. the boss need never again complain he c'an't go fish- ing or golfing when he so desires. Over the radio, in the movies, over the television set-enter- tainment, yes,-Kitty Burgess and her all-girl orchestra will have the nation in a whirl with their songs, dances and beauty. Girls, re- member how you swooned over Sinatrag well, don't be angry when your l'sweeties swoon over Burgess. They will be safe, for Kitty long ago gave her heart to a sailor. The Wlitterbugsl' will be forgotten and readers of tomorrow will look in the footnotes for an explanation of the term. Don't worry, there will be a new dance step over which every slick chickl' will go 'lmadf' lt will be as fast as any gob, and as smooth as any sea. It will be Frances Nalls' new dance, the Navy swing.

Yes. there will be storms and sliipwrecks as well as smooth sailing for no ship of life braves all the waves of time with- out disasters, but fear not your ship is not destined to be lost. Hear me as I reveal to you the fate of your crew. There is one who will travel far to distant lands where she will help bind up the wounds of a bleeding world. Her understanding, tolerant and unselfish nature will be her best ally as she ministers to the needs of homeless. wretched, broken pieces of humanity. Irene Barb will be known widely as the Angel of the Reconstruction. Another member of the crew will find happiness as a good farmer's wife. Her house will be spotless, and her husband's budget will al- ways balance. To her will come the satisfaction of being a frugal wife who is cherished by her husband and respected in her commu- nity. Who is she? Why Helen Mayhugh, known to her neighbors as Mrs. Herman Moore. Aboard this ship there is a sailor who will become a great surgeon. Some day he will be the leading physician on the staff of Doctors' Hospital, and patients will come from far and near to be treated by him. Marshall will be proud to recall that he was once president of her S.C.A. I refer to Mandley Johnston.
