FEBRUARY 15, 1943 Sayre, Athens, South Waverly, Waverly, N. Y. THE EVENING TIMES, MONDAY, Private Sampson Oneskunk Of U.S. Army Wins Praise Of British Commando Men LONDON (Delayed) (AP)Private Sampson P. Oneskunk was a man of few words.

He seldom said anything but "ugh," which meant "yes," "no," or "maybe," or anything he wanted it to mean. He seldom Even in Britain, where taciturnity is a national trait, Private Oneskunk was a very quiet man. This was not the only thing, however, that won him the attention of British commando experts who were assisting in training Private Oneskunk and other American soldiers in a unit of rangers, the American equivalent of the Commandos. There was his name, for instance. American officers explained that Private Oneskunk is a full-blooded Sioux Indian, from Cherry Creek, S.

and that out in his part of the country, the Oneskunk family is very well known, indeed. His appearance was a little unusual, too. He stood six-feet-two, minus his moccasins, but he weighed only 150 pounds. The regimental flagpole was an ideal place of concealment for Private Oneskunk. This was very important, because stealth and concealment are parts of a ranger's stock-in-trade.

MARCH 1 DEADLINE FOR ADMISSION TO RPH NURSES SCHOOL Quota for the mid-term class of students to be enrolled in the Robert Packer hospital training school for nurses has not been filled, and the deadline for admissions has been moved ahead from February 15 to March 1, it was announced today. With the opening of classes scheduled for March 15, prospective students will be afforded 15 days more to make arrangements to embrace the opportunity for training and wartime service. The program is being developed by the hospital training school and Mansfield state teachers college in response to the plea of the federal government for more nurses to meet the shortage which exists now and will continue to exist after the war. By its provisions, 25 new students will be admitted to the hospital's regular three-year course of training at mid-term for the first time in recent years, first will be given their pre-clinical training at the college, later will be given their clinical training and hospital experience at the hospital. Two hundred dollars of the total cost of $260 will be paid by the United States public health service, leaving only $60 to be met by the student, with special provisions to be made by the hospital for those unable to pay this small fee.

Accordingly, the college advises, any young woman who is a high school graduate and who wishes to avail herself of this program still may do so by applying to Miss Nina A. Smith, directress of nurses, Robert Packer hospital, Sayre, at the earliest possible time. COUPLE CELEBRATE 54TH ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. George B.

I SAYRE AND ATHENS STUDENTS PREPARE NURSING up to the enemy's whiskers. They strike in the darkness and then they are gone. Came a day when the rangers went into some heavily-wooded country, on maneuvers. It was an exercise in woodsmanship, and particularly in travelling through underbrush without making any noise. A British officer thought Private wasn't paying much attention.

"Well, you see, sir," the can officer replied, "this is just child's play to him. He's probably known how to sneak right up on a chipmunk ever since he was six years old." So they put Private Oneskunk on his own, and told him to show them something. He did. He disappeared into the woods, leaving his unit. He was supposed to creep back to it without being heard.

About ten minutes passed. The whole force, officers and men, strained their ears for some sound of him. They heard nothing. Then they heard an "ugh." Private Oneskunk was sitting in a tree, right over their heads. Just to prove it was no accident he went away several more times, and returned, as soundless as a shadow, until he was close enough to touch them.

Once he crept up beside one of his mates and whisked away the soldier's rifle. They neither saw nor heard him. And so, in no time, Private oneskunk became a full-fledged ranger. Presently, he found "himself with his unit, aboard a transport. He said he hoped the ship was bound for India, because he wanted to be in a country full of Indians.

They told him those were not his kind of Indians. "They wear beards," they said. "Ugh," said Private Oneskunk. "Different Tribe." He is somewhere in North Africa today. DAFFODILS And a Nice Selection of SPRING FLOWERS JAYNE'S FLORIST PHONE 475 11 Garfield Waverly, N.Y.
