C2 GETTYSBURG TIMES, THURSDAY. APRIL 30,1998 ARTS LEISURE Ike (Continued from Page 1) Nurses were in short supply, so both Ruth and her sister joined and were sent to Hawaii. Their decision was somewhat disappointing to their mother. who thought her offspring would not have to go to war because they all were girls. ED ANTHONY, anti-aircraft artilleryman Ed Anthony, HHS Class of'40.

tried to enlist when he was still only 16 years old, but was turned down. When he was 17, his mother took a paper to his grandfather, who was a Justice of the Peace, to sign. Grandfather notarized the form saying Anthony was 18, and Anthony joined the Marines, going first to Pearl Harbor as a member of the Third Defense Battalion on an anti-aircraft team. Later, he was assigned to Guadalcanal. One of his oddest, and most humorous, memories was eating Dole's pineapple.

During the early part of his Hawaiian assignment, the pineapple was being harvested and processed in Hawaii, shipped back to "the states" (Hawaii was not a state in 1941) to be canned, and then returned to Hawaii for the troops to eat. Eventually, the government figured out that the pineapple might as well stay in Hawaii. DOROTHY "DOT LEISTER, wife There was not much excitement around Hanover for a newly wed whose husband of only a few weeks was flying a bomber someplace in Europe. There were shortages a person desiring a washing machine, for instance, had to order it and wait for its possible arrival, and ordinary items such as gasoline, sugar and shoes were rationed -but mostly people just took them in stride. They went about their daih lives, waiting for loved ones to come home, and listening to the radio at night for news from the front.

Mail and news was slower coming, then than now. Without videos with live shots of incoming missiles, families could do little but wait for word about where their loved ones were, and when they might be coming home. One of the reporters who sticks out more than others in Mrs. Leister's memory was Gabriel Heider, a radio journalist and pessimist who led off each broadcast with. bad news from the front HANOVER SHOE COMPANY, keeping 'em walking In 1940, shoes were added to the list of items being rationed for civilian use.

Hanover Shoe Company received its first order from the government: 50.000 pairs of shoes for military use. L.B. Shepard. one of the company's founders, was appointed to the War Production Board as a Special Consultant on Shoes. Shoe Leather and Cat Outer Soles.

Shepard is credited with designing a poster encouraging his employees to "Keep 'Em Walking." And keep 'em walk-ing they did. Between June 1942 and October 1945, Hanover Shoe makers had manufactured nearly two million pairs for the Navy, and just over a million more for the Army. Through it all, the company brought women in to do jobs previously accomplished by men, and promised the men their jobs back when they returned from the war.
