PORTA COLOR 60 Model WM221HWD PORTA COLOR Chassis Keyed AGC UHF Solid State Tuner Push Button Color Purifier By Anne Webb William Edward Brougher was born in Jackson, in 1889 of a family prominent in Jackson and state affairs. His grandfather, Charles Henry Manship was mayor of Jackson during the daysof theVicksburg campaign; his grandfather Charles Albert Brougher was Secretary of State for Mississippi during and after the Civil War. William Edward received the B.

Sc. degree from Mississippi State University in 1910 with highest honors in oratorv. He was commissioned a second lieutenant in 1911 and con-, tinued his career as an army officer until his retirement as a Brigadier General. He won distinction under Generals Mo-Arthur and Wainwright during the Philippine campaign of 1941-42. It was his troops who first battled the invading Japanese and were the last to surrender on Bataan, He was a prisoner of war three and one-half years in camps In Luzon, Taiwan, Kyushy, and Manchuria.

Mr. Brougher wrote poetry in prison camp under all kinds of conditions. He told the reactions of other prisoners to experiences endured, their philosophy and feelings. The poems published in the volume "Long Dark One is called "Oh Lord How Long?" which was inspired by an officer in prison who particularly despised the dirt; "Building Fences" reminded him of the joy the prisoners had to conceal when they learned that Americans had captured Manila. Later he wrote a book of short stories one of which recounts an experience concerning his poems written in prison.

(This story was printed in Reader's Digest and fourteen international editions of that magazine.) On this particular occasion the Japanese confiscated all books, papers, diaries, notebooks, belonging to the prisoners and terror and dread took over the camp. Baggy Pants, one of the Japanese lieutenant hatchet men, the personification of ruthless tyranny of the camp command, approached General tfrougher with his notebooks" and questioned the general about his poetry, saying that he had read it and liked it and had even memorized some, and that he particularly liked one that General Brougher had written describing the sunrise over the prison compound. He then quoted' ilie snort poem "Sun-Up at Shirakawa" The sun has slipped the noose of night; Now pricks the mist wih spears of light; The rays bend high a- galnst the sky And flash the herons drifting by; Where beams break thru the mountain pass, The drops of dew are beads of glass; Arise! 0 Sluggard, bring your cup For morning's nectar, sun is up! General Brougher entitled his book "Baggy Pants and other Some of the stories are of happenings in prison camp but there are others of rare humor and insight one about the awkward philandering of Professor Hatch told in "Onion Sandwiches," "No Money" brings Marine' Corps defense training into civilian also he invades the afterlife in "Gangway for V. I. P.

Skinny Wainwright arrives at the Pearly Gates." After his retirement and until his death in 1963, General Brougher lived in Atlanta and made more than 800 talks to civic and religious groups to tell of his experiences. These talks and his writings have Inspired many with the message of faith, courage, and compassion. Mrs. Brougher has given a rare collection of more than 800 items to the Mitchell Memorial Library at Mississippi State. This is a valuable collection giving the development of the I).

S. Army between 1911 and 1942. It also Includes perhaps the largest collection of resorts and orders of the Luzon campaign. It Is said to be one of the most complete collections of Japanese prison camp materials in the nation. Dr.
