As I was thinking about the news to write today, I remembered the day I went from Santa Ana, CA to Hollywood, CA to take an exam to qualify for the service. I had received a letter from the government that stated "My friends and neighbors had selected me to represent them in the Army." After we had our physicals we decided to go to a radio show that was being recorded near the clinic. I was selected as a contestant. I had answered two questions and for my final question I was asked what the origin of the word NEWS came from. I attempted to talk all around the subject but didn't say anything the host would accept. He told me the word was from the four directions of the compass N E W S! I had won $65 dollars which was enough to pay the college and get my diploma!
