the axiom, “Always a bridesmaid,
never a bride,” Is going to be brok
en in the case of attractive Miss
Jean Brabham, of the staff of the

maid.

assistant to William Gunn, direc
tor of -the USO-NCCS Club here,
Miss Brabham has attended more
than forty brides, and she is now
gradually gaining the title of "of
ficial godmother” too.
Miss Brabham is often called
into service as a bridesmaid ber
eabse many of the brides come
from the North and West to marry
soldiers stationed here, and while
the bridegroom finds it easy to
press his “buddy" into service as
best' man. few of the girls bring
friends with them.
Often there are wedding break
fasts after the ceremony, and Miss
Brabham has received many bou
quets of flowers and gifts from ap
preciative newlyweds.

shopper for the men of the armed
forces, acts as hostess at the ser
vice men’s club, is program direc
tor, general counselor, visits the
station hospitals, sews, cooks,
speaks at civic meetings, writes let
ters for the soldier boys, acts as
nurse, and finds accommodations
for the relatives and friends who
visit service men stationed in this
area.
The.volume of mail she receives
is tremendous as soldiers who have
visited the USO-NCCS Club hei;e,
and who are now serving at other
posts, write to her from the na
tion’s batle front which extends
around the world.
A native of Batesburg. Miss
Brabham holds an A. B. degree
from Winthrop College, and an M.
A. degree from the University of
North Carolina, where she majored
