"NAVY WIVES WAIT AND HOPE, IN TRAILER HOMES IN REVERE" by Ann Hicks Mrs. Harry Woodall and Mrs. Harry Anderson live in twin tan trailers, travel the Eastern seaboard together, and have been in the war since Sept 4. That night a news flash flipped their lives into a new, grim, order. The U.S.S. Greer, first United States warship to be attacked, was torpedoed off Iceland. On the Greer were Boatswain's Mate 1st Class Harry Woodall and Gunner's Mate 2nd Class Harry Anderson.       SEE HUSBANDS TWICE Since then Mrs. Woodall and Mrs. Anderson have seen their husbands twice, once in Portland and once in Boston. Today their homes are parked side by side in a Revere trailer park run by Joseph Lee, Sr. Except to take a shower, get a bucket of water or buy some groceries, Mrs. Woodall and Mrs. Anderson never go out. They're waiting for Mrs. Joseph Lee to shout over the part's loud-speaker: "Mrs. Woodall wanted on the telephone." That day the trailers will be hitched to two cars, two radios will be unplugged and pillows will be plopped in two dish cupboards. Within 30 minutes, Mrs. Woodall and Mrs. Anderson will be driving their homes to Portsmouth or Portland, Philadelphia or Newport News. For the Greer will be in port. Meantime, they're staying in a true naval defense center. More than 50 other trailer families live at the Lee's and the men in them either work at the navy yard, commute to General Electric at Lynn or sail on an American warship.       ANXIOUS BUT CALM From the window in Mrs. Woodall's trailer you can see Mrs. Tollison E. McKinney's homestead, maybe Mrs. McKinney callilng one of her three children to come in for lunch. Her husband is on the U.S.S. Mayo. Right where you come into the park there's Mrs. Ruth Horne's trailer. Her son, Kenneth Sims, is with A Company, 65th Engineers, Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. "We'd be lost without each other," Mrs. Woodall and Mrs. Anderson agreed as they sat on the sofa in Mrs. Woodall's trailer. Both were calm and both, admittedly, were anxious. "We just don't know anything really," said Mrs. Anderson, who's brightly blonde, slim and blue eyed. Her pink silk shirt flopped over the top of her light blue skirt. She wore blue, knitted knee socks. "We just wait," said Mrs. woodall, who's almost as tall and just slim but has red hair. She was dressed in a yellow sweater and navy blue slacks. Mrs. Anderson will have been married two years next February. Mrs. Woodall next April. In March they'll celebrate another anniversary, the day they met each other. "My husband was on a destroyer that was swapped for bases with Britain," said Mrs. Anderson. "He was in Cuba, and got transferred to the Greer. That's where he met Mr. Woodall."       CHANGED HER MIND "Yes," remembered Mrs. Woodall. "Then, one night when we were in Charlestown, living in that horrible high-priced apartment, Harry came home and said, "how'd you like to live in a trailer" and I said "no". Mrs. Woodall laughed, "We went out to play bridge with you, and your trailer was so cute! When we got home I told Harry, "I want a trailer, too." Their's are roomy. Each has a stove for heat and a stove for cooking, closets for their clothes, dishes, linen and groceries, and radios that are off only when the trailers are on the road. "We can't miss anything these days," says Mrs. Woodall solemnly. "If I get a bulletin, I just open the door and yell, "Lee, did you hear that one?" She does the same, and we know all the news. Two days they eat in Mrs. Anderson's trailer, the next two in Mrs. Woodall'. They play acey-ducy, "a strictly navy game learned from our husbands," rummy and double solitaire, sew a lot and embroider. Mrs. Anderson had a two-year-old bull dog, Topsy, who's traveled 27,000 miles with her, while Mrs. Woodall's is two-pound, four-week-old Tinker-toy, a tiny fox terrier who mostly cuddles himself in a box on her bed, behing a big white pillow.       OTHER WORRIES Both have more than their husbands to worry over. Mrs. Woodall's sister, Mrs. E.P. Southall, is with her husband in Honolulu, her mother is in San Francisco and her father is at a West Coast Army camp. Just this week Mrs. Anderson learned in a letter that an 18-year old nephew, Merrill Hess, had joined the Navy and been sent to the Philippines. So Mrs. Woodall and Mrs. Anderson, who in less than a year have traipsed together from Charleston, S.C., to Norfolk, to Boston, to Newport, Philadelphia, back to Newport, to Boston, to Portland, and agin to Boston, listen to the radio and yearn for a phone call. Just as stout-hearted is plump merry Mrs. Tollison E. McKinney, just across the way. Tollison, Jr., 7, Robert, 5, and Rita, 4, were on their second lunch, said Mrs. McKinney, mothering them from the couch. "This isn't supper," Tollison reminded her, worried lest he'd heard right. "No, darling," said Mrs. McKinney. "They eat an awful lot," she added.       EASILY MANAGES Her trailer is a bit, but not too much, bigger than the twin tan ones. Yet Mrs. McKinney easily manages three youngsters. "We'll not get a real home for many years," Mrs. Tollison twinkled. "In the first place, on a navy salary we can't pay $60 rents, and besides, I want to be able to go in a minute, when my husband calls." While the tiny Tollisons play with their toys in the dinette, Mrs.Tollison cooks, cleans, embroiders and, always,listens to the radio. She hasn't seen, or heard, from her husband for several weeks. "Of course, I do worry, but still and all," she will say, "I am proud that my husband can do his part. And my husband, he is proud, too." [Note: UNITED STATES NAVAL CHRONOLOGY, WORLD WAR II.

The beans- -as beans will- -continued getting hotter and hotter and the smoke began to billow through the rooms and out the windows of the home. Mrs. Harold White, a passerby, noticed the black smoke and called the firemen, who accommodatingly came and, holding their breath as they entered the smoke-filled kitchen, turned off the fire and brought the smoking kettle outside for a dousing. The beans, as far as everyone was concerned, were "done." The Paris Daily Enterprise, Mon May 15, 1972, p 2 " Bourbon New Parade ABOUT PEOPLE....
