Polish lafygee Trci¥els Long load from Wcif saw To Butf With S-pirifers

It was a long, long trail, starting below Warsaw, on to France and Cuba then back to France and finally to the United States, bv many a devious route, that brought Pvt. David Ros- en to the I76th Regiment and his- job as ammunition pioneer

with the 2nd Battalion. '

£ boy Dave had always

dreamed of coming to this country and so when his brother in Cuba offered to arrange and finance the trip he jumped at the opportunity. Leaving early in the summer of '.ig he traveled to Le Havre, France, where he boarded the •Tlandre" bound for Cuba. The .<;hip arrived at its destination where he learned with dismay that his papers were no longer legal. Hundreds of refugees from Poland, Spain, Austria, Czecho- .•^lovakia, and ■ Germany found themselve.<; in a similar predica- ment, with no homeland and no other place to go.

All attempts by the Hebrew Aid Society to arrange temporary visas faile so the ship sailed on ta Vera Cruz. Here they succeeded in ar- ranging to remain until such time a.c they jyjuld enter- the U. S. A, v.'ithin the quita. The authorities informed them that if they each

States for the necessary money. On the following day the order

was cancelled; Then to make mat- ters worse, the tax levied on mon-. etary exchange in the transfer from dollars to pesos and then back again amounted to over a hundred dollars on that suni. Once again the vessel made port in Cuba wher the HIAS offered the government half a million, dollars to allow the refugees to remain 'til they could enter the U. 3. legally. However, all attempts failed with the result that many of the despairing people slashed their wrists or hung themselves. -¥he Cuban police were forced to board the boat to restore order and prevent further suicides and that night the boat put out to sea for the long voyage back to France. GOOD NEWS

Two days before their arrival at Le Havre the captain called

WAC-Soidier

Wed At Post

Dozens of uniformed friends of bride and groom thronged the main post Catholic Chapel at 7:45 a. m. Saturday to attend the wed- -ding of Corporal Emary W. Lade, 'of Headquarters Company, 1st Student Training Regiment, The Infantry School, to Private First Class Louise M. Martin, of the 43rd WAC Detachment. Chaplain H. Hunt united the couple in the half -hour ceremony. ^ Among the most colorful in the history of the chapel, the rites be- gan when khaki-clad Corporal Lade escorted his bride down the aisle to the stately strains ' of "Lohengrin", 'played by Private Winfield Davis, organist. The im- pressiveness. of the ceremony was heightened by the bride's care- fully-selected blue wedding gown and bouquet of white roses.

From the chapel, members of Headquarters Company and' the WAC Detachment returned to their respective organization to enjoy the 39-pouhd wedding cake which awaited them at each mess hall. The couple departed for a wedding breakfast at the Ralston Hotel, Columbus, at which Lieu- tenant Gail Gaines,, commanding officer of the 43rd WAC Detach- ment, and -Captain Curtis J. Ivey, commaiider of Headquarters of Headquarters Company, 1st S. T. R., were guests of honor.

The newly weds are spending their 5-day leave at Pine Moun- tain Ga. Corporal Lade, whose home is in Watseka, 111., met his attractive bride last March at a Headquarters Company dance. Pfc. ' Martin's parents live in Cleveland, Ohio. . j

to their promise to resist any further aggression by the Ger- mans, England and France de- clared war. Then followed a period of feverish preparation during v^hich Dave got a job in a munitions factory. ' Six weeks later he was drafted into the Polish-French Army but since the foreman was desperately in need of trained help Dave received a temporary deferment.

The entire world was stunned by the. sudden collapse of the Low Countries and France. No one knew who controlled the nev^ gov- enrmentr until tired old Marshal Petain addressed his nation and the world and asked Hitler for collaboration. Dave realized that he had recourse to two things. He could stay and hope for mercy at the hand of the Huns; or, he could attempt to escape from France' to England like thousands of others were doing. He packed a few things and started out on the perilous journey, 14-DAY TREK

'The trek from Bordeaux to Lou- en to Luchon, required fourteen days, the nights were spent in the forest, and the days scrambling around for enough scraps of food to keep body and soul together. Although the French peasants are traditionally friendly, G e r m a n Anti - Semitic propaganda had turned them, and together with a fear of reprisals it created a haz- ard for Rosen to be even seen in the neighborhood of farmhouses. Arriving at Luchon, on the Franco-Spanish border, he found a camp for refugees, with in- describable conditions, but this at lea.st was a safe haven, tempo- rarily.

The Germans had placed Lu- chon in the unoccupied territory, though this did not exclude the ■fact that Gestapo agents I everywhere. This was to 1 I home for eighteen' long torturous ; month.?, during which he worked ;in the surrounding mountains ;and villages, in order to ha : enough to live on. Finally i . 1 found the -chance to get to the I American consulate. He was told I there, that in order to get ilo the United States he would I be required to show a reservation \ on a ship sailing from Lisbon, a jvLca from Portugal, a transit Ifrom Spain and a doctor's certifi- ; cate stating that he was unfit for I any military duty. Besides all the^c I paper.-;, he would require a certifi- jcate of residence from the Paris- ian authorities, who by now were completely Nazified. AIDED BY FRIENDS

Thru the intercession of friends in Marseilles he managed to ob- tain the necessary papers and with j the cooperation of a friendly and sympathetic doctor obtained a cer- I tificate proving him to save se- j rious cardiac ailments. He had 'ac- ifually lost eight-four pounds ■ in \ the past months.

j Hearing that all travelers over ; 30 years of age were not required ito have Spanish visas, he arrived I at the customs. There he was told I that he must make out an applica- I tion for Spanish transit visas, even though he had but seven days in which to catch the ship at Lisbon, Portugal. By some^stroke : of good luck, the Madrid authori- Ities sent back the visas, and he passed thru Spain to Portugal.

On the 1st of June he arrived at Casablanca, Morocco, and on the 7th of June at Bermuda. He was examined by the British- American military authorities and given entrance t^ the United States, after a slight detention. He arrived in the United States on the 25th of July, and six months later entered the Armed Forces. The total iexpenditure irt cash for the two trips was S1700, which he had obtained in various degrees from friends and relatives.

Although David Rosen still has difficulty expressing himself and .speaks a combination of Pqlish- HAirew, French - English, he has made great strides in pur lan- guage. After completing {he ele- mentarj' course given by "Dean" Troxler's staff he started taking a voluntary night-course to im- prove his English and also to bet- ter equip himself to take his place as a citizen of the- United States.

Two Infantry School machine gun demonstration records were broken this week by a crew of non-coihs from the Aca- demic Regiment.

The crew first clipped two-fifths of a second off the mark for placing a heavy machine gun in action when they" ac- complished the job in eight seconds flat. Then they took the gun out of action m six and four-fifths seconds, a fifth pi a second faster than the record.

The crew was a regular demonstration crew in the Basic Machine Gun Group and consisted of Sgt. Daniel Benner of Co, F, and Sgt. Charles I. Dinnebier and Cpl. John P. Carp of Co. E- Sgt. Dinnebier was a member of the crew which held the previous record. Others on that crew were Sgt. Edward Pagoda of Co. E and Pvt. James PuUey of Co. C.

All three members of the new record-holding crew arc se- lectees and have been in service about a year and a half. Sgt.. Benner, 25, hails from Toledo, Ohio, where- he was a polisher and buffer- Sgt. Dinnebier, 30, was a truck driver in Cleveland, Ohio, and Cpl. Carp, 25, was a paper hanger in Mechanicsville, New- York. ■ ■ -

Our plans for after the war neary always consist of what somebody else has got to do. The important thing is what we've got to do ourselves.

T^S Officer Serves From Equator to Pole

From the Eauator to the Arctic Circle, and then back to summer- time—Georgia. JE all m a year's v.'ork for Lieutenant Randolph P. Eddy, of the 16th Company, Ist Student Training Regiment.

The lieutenant certainly gets around. After 9 months duty in Panama, he came to Fort Bennmg and graduated from The Infantry School in an early officer candi- date class. Hia fir.st assignment was to Greenland, whence he re- turned to Benning after serving IS months in the icy North. ,In betv;een, he just about found time to pay fleeting visits to his home in Boston, Mass.

Hard work and plain down-to- earth soldiering filled Lieiftenant Eddy's nine months in Panama. " As a member of the Jungeleers, a detachment that trained inten- sively in infiltration tactics, he often had to cut his way with a machete through thick jungle or wade the waist-deep swamps of ,:^*fhe Isthmus,

Upon receiving his commission at Fort Benning, Lieutenant Eddy was assigned^to the Ice Cap Task Force in Greenland. In charge of £ detail of eight sergeants, he set- tled down to a dreary nine month vigil on the lonely ice-cap, ob- serving v/eather conditions and rescuing forced-down fliers. At timse the gale howled by their rude shelter at 170 miles an hour, and the thermometer dropped to 70 degrees below zero. ISOLATION' COItiPLETE

Lieutenant Eddy and his pc-vty were completely isolated during the nine month Greenland win- ter. Twenty v.rell-thumbed books and £ single deck of cards com- pleted their recreational facilities, but the monotony was broken when one of their Esquimo-dogs gave birth. Thereafter the pup- pie sprovided endless diversion.

Thankful that, as an officer candidate, he absorbed every bit of The Infantry School's un- equalled instruction, Lieutenant Eddy believes that he and his men owe their lives to the map-reading ability he gained here. Finding one's way in Greenland is particu- larly difficult, he recalls— no landmarks break the frozen des- ert, and a compass and the stars, and occasionally the sun, furnish the only guides. Eventually the lieutenant taught himself celestial ^ navigation and became quite pro- ^■ficient at at.

His training in weapons, came in handy. With the nearest ordnance depot across hundreds of miles of impassable ice, his lit- - tie unit had to keep its' own arma- ment in firing condition, even when sub-zero temperatures froze oil jn the working parts.

After some 7 months their K rations gave out and the party had to subsist on a diet of un- \-aried oatmeal. Fortunately, with the coming of spring they shot some seal and fresh meat peared on the table for the first time in months. Thawing ice fi- nally let a PBY flying boat work closer in to shore and take them off — off to nev.' adventures, as far as. Lieutenant Eddy is concerned.

Whew, but Georgia in August is a lot hotter than Greenland, he perspiringly declares.

Four 5rd SIR Officers Senf

Four well known figures in the Third Student Training Regiment of The Infantry School received orders of transfer early this week to the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Camp Bland- ing, Fla. ^

Those ordered to Blanding were: Lt. Col, Marsden P. Earle, who recently.' relinquished com- mand of the Fourth Battalion; Major Alfred M. Potts 2nd, for- mer executive officer of the old Fifth Battalion; Major Harold B. Eagle, former commanding offi- cer of the Third Company; and Capt. Harry R. Bright, former reg- imental adjutant.

Colonel Earle has been succeed' ed in the command of the Fourth Battalion by Lt. Col. Charles K. Dillingham, veteran of overseas service in both the World War and the current conflict.

Majors Eagle and Potts left the regiment several months ago to take the - advanced course at The Infantry School and upon a com- pletion of their training were as- signed to the Officers' Pool while awaiting orders.

Captain Bright became ^idjutant of the Third Student Training Regiment' updn its activation and served in this capacity until he, too, was assigned -to take the ad-^ vanced curse.

WAC Officer Visits Fort

Captain Lee Bears Message of Praise From Col. Hobby

Brmging a message from Col. Oveta Gulp Hobby, commandmg officer of the Women's . Army Corps, expressing her "apprecia- tion for a job well done" members of the WAC, Capt; Phebe Lee, Section Chief, Re- cruitmg School, at Fort Ogle- thorpe, Ga., spent two days at Fort Benning this week.

A graduate of the first officer candidate class of the WAC Fort Des Momes, Iowa, Capt. Lee has spent her entire enhstment m the Corps doing recruiting. She has traveled m the eastern sea- board states and did a tour of duty m the northwest of Utah, Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Montana.

Colonel Hobby sent with Cap' tarn Lee a message to WACs, con- gratulating them for doing a "job well done m the fact of over- whelming difficulties. That the job IS only m its beginning is evi- denced by the demands of com- manding officers from all over the world for WACs to take up duties in all sorts of assignments," Cap- tain Lee said.

"This desire on the part of the commanding officers for these WACs justifies, beyond doubt, their existence," Captain Lee fur- ther added. ■ i

At Benning she found the WAC Detachment, Station Complement, under the command of Lt. Gail Gaines, the WAC Detachment, In- fantry School, and the 772nd Post Headquarters Company at Lawson Field taking jobs to relieve gen- eral service enlisted men m du- ties including chiefs, teletype op- erators, clerks, in the Army post- office, assistants in theaters, oper- ating motor vehicles and in oth- er technical jobs.

Scirge Dives For Peciris in ' Shdrk-liifested ' Waters

All men coming back from over- seas duty boast of some true ex- perience or event they have wit- nessed. Such is the case with Staff Sgt. Edward Van Home, 3rd Bat- talion, 6th Regiment of The In- fantry School. The incident con- cerned took place on a small island "somewhere in the South Pacific." . :

One day when the sergeant had L afternoon off and he decided use this time in the island's favorite pastime, p6arl diving. The island on which he was stationed as noted as one of the world's richest pearl deposits. The waters around the island ere infested with tiger sharks, of the man-,eating species. Though many of the native are killed each year by them, they still venture in this "bread-winning" practice. The pearl Taeds themselves are about sixty feet below the surface of the lagoons, and the -divers developed their breath- holding capacity and basal meta- bolism to such a degree that they can dive to this distance without the aid of any artificial device. TIGER SHARKS

This breath - holding ajjility, however, is not used so much in staying below the surface to gath- er pearls as it is for their own protection. The waters are full of sharks. So, Whenever a diver sees one of them coming? while he is down a few fathoms, instead of mmediately swimming to the sur- face to take a chance on matching his speed with that of the shark, he goes down deeper to the bot- tom where he crawls under the corral rock and there waits till the shark moves on." This means that a man often stays under wa- ter for five minutes or more, which sounds ahnost unbelievable. Then, he comes to the surface, refills his lungs, an/i continues on his search. Occasionally, though, a shark will come into the vicinity without being seen. This leads to the sergeant's story.

That particular afternoon the sergeant was sitting in an out- rigger pulling up, the baskets as soon as the natives hacP them filled with Mother Pearl shells. From this position he saw a shocking and nerve-tangling inci- dent.

Suddenly a shark came into the area where a diver was below. On coming to the surface for air, the diver, warned by his fellows of the shark's approach, tried to make the nearest boat. Not in time, however. FISH WINS

With a loud, swishing sound, the man was carried imder the sur- face, clasped amidst the jaws of the huge fish. The otbijr divers armed themselves with knives, jumped from their small crafts, and attacked this terror of the- sea; Upi

released the stricken diver. How- ever, another shark in the area, sensing the blood, rushed in for the kill, and just as the mangled fellow was about to be hauled into the boat, shark number 2 tore him from the grasp of his res- cuers and carried him off. This time it was impossible to "save him, for the presence- of more ^arks made another rescue im- possible.

It rather spoiled the rest of the day for Sergeant Van Home, but left him with an unforgettable ex- perience.^

Overseas Vet Relofes Experiences in Jungle

After 11 months overseas with the 24th Infantry, Staff Sgt, James O. Council has returned to The Infantry School, Fort Benning to become mess sergeant for the 19th Company of the Third Stu- dent Training Regiment. Evacuat- ed from the South Pacific theater because at ill health, he has been assigned to Company D. of the Service Battalion.

Council found it difficult to ad- just himself to the climate of the South Pacific islands but he is well on the way to recovery now and those who knew him say he will prWide plenty of competition for the "Star Kitchen" award that is issued among messhalls of the Fourth Battalion.

The sergeant relates that hi§ troop transport was on the water for 24 days before effecting a landing. A circuitous route had to b« followed because of the ever IJresent peril of enemy submarines and surface craft. NATIVES INTELLIGENT

In the landing and establish- ment of a beach head which even- tually materialized, Council said his regiment confidently expected enemy fire. What happened was, however, that the men encoun- tered an enthusiastic welcome from friendly natives.

The natives, too, provided prise, for, instead of being the cannibal-type, they were intelli- gent, and cooperative and some of them even spoke English, Council recalls. ■ *

Native boys, Council reveals, climbed trees to procure coconuts for the soldiers, did their laundn' and taught the newcomers how to b^uild huts of palm leaves.

After he had mastered this arti Sergeant Council personally su- pervised the construction of a 10- room officers quarters built en- tirely of palm leaves.

Council learned . many other tricks of making oneself comfort- able m the jungle and how to get along with the natives.

Now is The Time ., To Byy More Bonds

The Germans have scuttled like cockroaches off the Island of Sicily and an Allied invasion of the Italian mainland is imminent. Our re- cent pasting of Kiska, happily or unhappUy, proved to be the beating of a dead horse, since the Japanese had flown the coop. The Rus- sians have captured Kharkov and have appar- ently finally destroyed the German power of in- itiative.

All these happy events may well put heart into both the American soldier and civilian since, if we must fight a war it is far better to be engaged in a winning struggle than a los- ing one..

To be sure "Well begun is half done" but a half done victory is no victory at all. Let us re- member that as yet neither the Germans nor the Japanese have lost a single inch, of the territory for which they are fighting^ the war. The ter- ritories which we have recaptured are merely defensive areas around the territories . which they considered vital to their several "new or- ders."

This is no time to rest on <5ur oars, for if we do so we shall most certainly find all our pre- vious sacrifices to have been in vain.

On September 9 a war loan drive in the amount of $15 billion is to be 'launched. This money is utterly indispensable to the prosecu- tion of the war and it will be repaid to the lenders. Before that dale another pay day for soldiers comes to pass. Let every man set aside a certain sum of money, possibly foregoing a couple of Saturday nights in town, and put that cash into war bonds. Just as surely as a soldier makes such an investment he is lessening the chances of himself or his comrades being killed or v.'ounded. The greater the effort we make now the less is the probability of having to make much greater sacrifices in the very near future.

The average man is much too prone to live entirely in the present and leave the future to be coped with v.'hen it arrives. Every man in the American armed forces is being iriore than adequately clothed, fed and housed. He is aid- ed by government in the matter of insurance and the welfare of dependents. To invest in war bonds can mean only the doing without of some minor luxury. Never mind making invid- ious comparisons with civilians. ' However great their concern is or should be with the war, ours is willy nilly a thousand times greater.

- Columbus' quota in this drive is $5,601,000

- and a formidable part of this should come from Fort Benning. Let us do our duty in this mat-

^ ter and be thankful that in our present order we do not have to be coerced.

CO Should Know Hk Men By Name

As a thoughtful, thorough-going -imit com- mander, you won't be satisfied until you know the name of every man in your command. At the start, as a bare minimum, you'll want to know the names of your junior officers and non-coms, and to learn all the others as quickly as possible. The swift expansion and rapid turnover that has plagued nearly all organiza- tions in recent years is no excuse for not taking the pains necessary to know your men by name.

Being able to call each soldier by name is an important part of your responsibility of instill- ing morale and strengthening subordinates' con- fidence in you, their leadet. It furnishes tangi- blt proof of your interest in them. More will- ing, conscientious execution of your orders will follow its applicatiori.

Learning to remember names and faces is not hard— every officer should make it part of his mental training. When a new officer or sol- dier reports, start off right by making sure you get the name— its spelling and pronunciation— correctly. Sometimes, . in the haste of a formal report or an informal introduction, a man tends to slur his own name. If you've any doubt how the name is pronounced, ask him a simple ques- tion and straighten yourself out at once.

Here's where "association," as used by the psychologists and memory-training experts, en- ters. Even if your man merely makes a brief, official report, observe him closely and fix his prominent characteristics in mind. A longer in- terview, of course, furnishes greater opportunity for such observation, but in any event it can and must be made. You may note that Sergeant Gross is tall and slender — the negative associa- tion will recall his name next time you see. him. Private Hardy may be sun-tanned, wiry, broad- shouldered. However foolish or far-fetched the association, its purpose is served when the sight of £ certain face or figure invariably calls to mind the corresponding name.

Once the man has left, you can puU out his credenti'eis or records and refresh your memory on the correct way to spell his name, his physi- cal characteristics, or any other information you want to associate mentally with him.

By following this p^rocedure whenever a sol- dier reports for the first.time or a new man joins your company, it .won't be long before you can address every member of your command by name. And you've made more than a good start in building the "esprit de corps" of the outfit that's going to follow you into battle.

America Will Be Pantry Of The World

Besides the people of the United States, mil- lions of additional hungry mouths today are call- ing to and depending on America for food. And when this war is over, America will have to feed many millions more . as many as three hun- dred million more.

To supply today all these staggering demands, and in anticipation of future needs, our formers throughout the nation are going all-out to ex- ceed many fold previous productions.

The states of North Dakota and Idaho, Mon- tana, Washington, Minnesota and Oregon alone have produced 342,668,000 bushels of wheat. This sounds enormous, but add to this the pro- duction of aR remaining farmers in the United States and the figures become unbelievable.

Another small army of new farmers like the civilians, who never before had to plant their own food, because of the surplus, are now using every inch of fertile soil to grow their own vege- tables and fruits. These civilians- by planting their own victory gardens are aiding our gov- erimient to win this war, because this will re- lease millions of bushels of veigetables and fruits for our fighting men, our Allies, and the starv- ing people of the nations that are being set free by our armies -of occupation. The more lands we conquer, the more people we wiU have to feed, and we feel it our duty as patriotic citizens of this great democratic nation to keep these people with a sufficient supply of food. Starv- ing people are revolutionary because empty stomachs make people restless and drives them to all kinds of crime to feed their loved ones and themselves.

It is to our benefit to keep all people happy and well fed; this will win their confidence in our sincerity to defeat the Axis dictators, and we will need their support and cooperation. By obtaining their confidence will mean the re- lease of many of our fighting men to enter new fields of conquest instead of policing conquered areas.

Gbbpl War Calls For Total Sacrifice

This global war involves all the continents, all the. oceans, aE the islands, all the people around the whole wide world. The contending forces are powerfully armed and the issues at stake are vitally important to all. mankind.

There are now more men and women under arms today than ever before, and more destruc- tion of foods and supplies than ever •''before. Victory and defeat are on a huge and unprede- dented scale. Ther^ are mass movements of troops with mass production, also mass flights over incredible distances, even mass bombard- ments and mass executions.

This war is producing the fastest planes, the heaviest battleships, the most powerful guns, the longest range submarines, the most deadly poison gas, and more important of all, the most remark- able remedies for the wounded.

It demands great men with heroic deeds. It calls for vision, faith, courage, selfless devotion to duty, and the will to liberate the needy and oppressed peoples of the conquered nations.

We, the people of America, who have always been accustomed to siu-pluses and luxury are now willingly undergoing scarcity, rationing, and do- ing without many pleasures, and conveniences to which we were always accustomed.

-Our people are undergoing hardships, and are willing to tighten their belts more and more each day, just as long as our armed forces are sup- plied with the necessary foods and implements of war to win victory and freedom for us all.

This is indeed the right time for greatness of character and greatness ^ effort. Let us not fail our fighting men in this hour of need, and let us put all our might behind our country, and our fighting men in all theatres of operations who are spilling their blood to help us remain free.

—Major Frank I. Ciofalo, Regimental Surgeon, 1st Stu. Tng. Reg.

Ed's. Note: All times are Eastern War Time.)

Probably thousands of soldiers stationed at Fort Benmng these past months have sent home "talk- ing letters" to mothers, wives and sweethearts, but the new plan adopted at the Army-Navy YMCA- USO sends not only the recording but also a picture of the service- man wjjile he is making the rec- ord. . . . The recording sessions are held every. Tuesday from 7:30 to 9:30 p. m. during which time between 35 and 50 servicemen are taken care of, according to Mr. G. W. Avison, director. ,

A recent story about the new service at the YMCA-USO relates that almosf 90 per cent of the sol- diers who send recorded letters home also "throw in" a bit of crooning. . . .

IS A STRANGE, STRANGE THING

AS THE STORY OF MIKE AND SONJA SHOWS

had it bad. But I'll admit, the object of all his devotion was pretty nice. Mike showed me ..her picture once. She was a horiey, except for the fact that she made Mike • unhappy. He told me all about it one night while we v/ere still in Africa. It's a pretty lon^ story.

While our outfit was stationed I the States Mike met Sonja. He as -sort of lonely one night and jusf dropped in at the U.S.O, to see was was doing. He peeked into the ballroom to look at the dancers . , . then he saw her. Of course he couldn't do much talk- ing that night. There were at least fifty fellows to every girl,' he explained later. But he did fix himself up with a date for the following Saturday, and he hitch- hiked all the way to Boston to keep it. He started to commute back and forth between Boston and the camp after that. The forty-odd niiles were nothing for a fellow who knew he was in love. Mike was in love with Sonja. He worshipped the ground she walked on, if I'm any judge of the disease. He called her his little "svenska flicka", or more often, his "princess".

Mike told me about how and why they had parted. I guess it was mainly because she was al- ready engaged to a captain . in the Air Force. But the kid didn't let that . st6^ him. . Love is love, as .1 see it, ahd .the kid didn't let the rank of his competition scare him. But Sonja wasn't changing her mind.- It finally looked as if Mike was out-classed. Onef more try and he'd walk out of the pic- ture without getting burned. That's what he thought at the timfe. Even when he tried to joke about it while . we were together on the desert 1 could see didn't mean it. Mike didn't get burned, he just got cremated, that's all. ■

. The last time he went to Bos- ton he sent ahead the little mes- sage that he was coming . '. . red and white roses tied with a blue and white ribbon. According to Mike this was supposed to stand for 'a whole lot. The red inH

There are still a lot of people in the world who Mse the word "coincidence'! . \vhen they can't explain the unconscious powers of the mind, or a strange -series of events. Em does, although she isn't quite sure if it's only by chance that things often happen in the mysterious way that they do.

The other night, for example, she jumped out of the chair when the telephone rang, laid down the book she was reading, remarked that "it's mother calling from New York,"° and answered the phone. Of course it was her mother, alright, but how did Em know? She couldn't explain. I couldn't either for that matter. We share the phone with two other families. Em didn't have any prearranged plan for a tele- phone conversa,tion with her mother.. Then how could she pos- sibly have made the remark, "It's mother calling from New York"? Did the telephone have a dif- ferent ring to it? Was she con- centrating on something that con- cerned herself and her mother at the very secdnd that the phone rang? How did she know? Em had been so sure when she picked up the receiver. Fellows at the company remarked that they had experienced the same thing at one time or another. Would you call this "cincidence"?

The strangest story about "co- incidence" cncerns a pal of mine who saw action with me at Mis- tretta. A big husky Irish lad he was. Mike Flaherty was his name, and he was as tbugh as his name sounded. He was tops as ' a sol- dier, one of the best in the busi- ness. If he hadn't tried a body block on a piece of lead he'd probably be wearing sergeant's chevrons right now. He might have been wearing them last year if it hadn't been for a girl. Mike was big and tough until it came to women; then , he changed into a clumsy, gawky, long-legged youngster who was as sentlmen- tar and love-struck as only i twentyone year old can be. He

To hve in this part of. the coun- try is very delightful. You can go places without much thought or preparation. There is no need for ear muffs, overcoats, blan- kets, hot water bottles, mud chains; you can travel -very light. That i^ the way most of us %vouid like to go through life; free from all care encum- brances, saved from all hard- ships; content , to let others hold the sack, be responsible for th etraining of , the young, welfare agencies, schools, churches, good government. No doubt this way affords a lot of satisfaction. But one can travel too light for s own good and the good of so- ciety. The gentry who have only to button their coats to be on their way are not the most desirable citizens. Weights serve a useful purpose. Ballast keeps the ship on even keel, in fair and foul weather.

Men need ballast. The "ball and chain" is more than an inane description in one's wife. The married are more reliable than the unmarrled.- And those who possess a home and children more so. It is the people who are settled, under obligation, have civic du- ties to perform, that make a town, a city, a worth while place to live That is a loss suffered by folks in the army. They are here and there— ships that pass in the night. It is a great loss. For there s nothing finer than to build ■ourself into the life of a commu- nity and share in its hardships as well as in its benefits. Paul il- luminates out thought when he writes:

T. p. URGES SARGE TO READ

UP ON WORLD'S LITERARY MASTERS

By S.-Sgt. TOM McDONALD

Durirfg the long period of my career iiv which I have served in the capacity of private secretary 'yardbird extraordinary" to my commanding officer, Colonel T. P. Swampwater, many and varied have been the trials and tribula- tions I have been called upon to undergo.

During "Siesta", this afternoon, while I was vitally absorbed and at the same time attempting to improve m'y mind with an ardent perusal of Hemingway's "The Killers," I was suddenly propelled back to reality by Private Saw- grass emotionally shouting "Atten- tion!; Attention!" and pointing wildly toward the office entrance with his thumb. -

Silhouetted in the doorway and startingly prevalent was none other than Brigadier General Aus- pur G. Quagmire. After carefen- iolently in my swivel chair and landing one foot in the waste basket I managed to assume the position of attention, totally un- aware that Hemingway's "The Killers" was huddled very unvica- riously upon the floor.

"My commanding officer, Sir, is now over at the W. A. C. mess hall investigating a rumor that our ^'sister-soldiers" have learned to make synthetic .chewing gum out of old bath caps and sorghum syr- up" ' • ■

"Indeed!" replied ol' one-star, raising his eyebrows. "And why in tarnation didn't he let me know about it?"

"He intends to, Sir," I admitted, not unaware that Private Sawgrass was disappearing behind northside filing cabinet, a spot he usually retired to when sleepy, perplexed or frightened.

We'll, Hell and Highwater, Ser-- geant! You tell that, chewing gum patriot to get me a .report through channels on his investigation by tomorrow morning or i will raise hell. Also add. 'the recipe as supplement.

Yes, .Sir," I answered, silently kicking the waste basket with my free foot,' an unintended action which immediately drew the Gen- eral's attention. With cold incal- culable vision he leaned over and made a reconnaissance of my sit- uation. Slowly recovering himself, to his position of "ramrod" atten-t tion, he focused one of his eyes on me and softly snarled:

'Soldier, how long have' you been in the Army?" . ,

'I'm a recruit, Sir,'' . .1 ^ gulped, sensing trouble arid hoping for' the best But the best wasn't in the deal. With • a..greedy animal- like leer the great man threw back his shoulder and replied:

white roses meant "I'll love you forever". The blue and v/hile rib- bons were the 'colors of Sweden; wasn't she his "svenska fUcka", "princess". But the flowers didn't make an impression. She didn't hurry down to the lobby where he was waiting. He sent up another messenger to get her answer to his flowers. That may sound screwy, but Mike said the flowers were really asking hpr to meet' him in the lobby after work. Sonja hadn't bothered to recognize his , question. The other times she had always sent bad: a note saying "The boss is leav- ing early tonight, I can meet you in fifteen minutes", or "The dis- trict manager is checking the books. I'll be a little late, dar- ling". This time there was no answer. . Th^ messenger came back with a plain white index card. Across one side was writ- ten, "Thanx, Sonja".

Mike went over to the drug store in the other end of the lobby and phoned up to the oL- f ice. "It's Just no use, Mike",. he heard her say. He tried to -ex- plain. He- tried to plead. It was no use. Sonja wanted a few weeks without seeing him make up her mind. As far as she was concerned how, the cap- tain^ was still leading the race for her heart. She'd let Mike know in a few, weeks just how things turned out. She would let Mike know just as soon as she was sure of herself. She said she liked Mike an awful lot, but she I't sure. It would take time. She'd let Mike knpjv. She'd let him know - by writing a note, Mike would understand when' he received a • note in which she signed her name and dotted the "j". That sounded strange, so 1 asked Mike what . It meai^t. He told me tpai in all' the notes and letters he* had received from her the "j" in Sonja had never been dotted. This wpuld be the sign

THERE'S NO USE MAKING UP BEDS ONLY TO MU SS THEM AGAIN

in addition to my- food diffi- which it . seems to me culty, the house here on the post offers problems which lessen the pleasure' I enjoyed a year ago hen Kay went off to the North. That period or a month ago was indeed a vacation for me. Cronies who felt that home was a place one .went to only as a last, resort reported faithfully to keiep me cotnpany and many problems

"I believe you. Sergeant, im, plicitly! Nobody but a recruit could work for T. P. Swampwater and stay in his right state of mind. So just as a personal favor Ser-' geant, I will arrange to have your supply sergeant issue you another shoe in place of that waste bas- iet." \

"I have my other shqp, Sir," I pleaded,

"Well, where in the hell is if'' he growled.

In the waste-basket, sir."

'Well, get it the hell out! I'm utterly exasperated. ■ What in the hell goes on around here?"

'Nothing, Sir," I stammered, yanking my foot out of the basket minus the shoe.

"By the great horned spoon'" the ol' boy yelled. "You .don't have on any socks."

"Yes I have. Sir, it's on the 'f other foot." .

"Other foot! Gadamighty, do you mean you only Tiave on one sock?"

■ "Yes, Sir," I replied, "the G. I. laundry is saving ray other one for posterity."

"Well,. It beats me, Sergeant, it utterly beats me. I'm going to let Swampwater worry with you, aft- er all you're his problem, not

"Yes, Sir," I answered as I bowed my head.

"I'm going now, Sergeant. The state of affairs in this office in utterly preposterous. But, don't ' you dare forget to tell Swamps- water to report to. me about that chewing gum!"

"Yes, Sir," I answered.

Then as the General turned, I sensed the approach of disaster. ^ Utterly unaware of Hemingway'.s "The Killers" he suddenly tapped oh the book and fell fieadlong against one of the nearby cuspi- .■ dors scattering' tobacco juice in all directions.

Leaping to hjs side I helped him to his feet arid offered him his hat. • .>»

Silently and without further' ado he yanked the liat out of my hand, wiped off the tobacco juice. with his sleeve and stalked out of 'the office red with rage. [

Ijlobbling, quickly' to the nearest window I noticed that he was headed in the direction of the W. A. C. mess haU.

With a strange sinking feeling ■ in the pit of my stpmachj I hopped over to the northside filing cabi- ne .and from the dark dark back- side, r could see Private Saw- grass's eyes staring at me in an- ticipation.

"Move over,"' I . muttered, squeezing into the remaining dark- nes with great uncertainty.'

I 'solvec

these

conferences.

Glass rings (\yhich came off when Kay came back) decorated the tables. Leather chairs acquired a distinctive g r e e n i s Jh mould. Anyone knows, of course, that it was much too hot to change clothes upstairs, and, natur- ally, the clothes taken off downstairs had a way of re- maining here and there about the . living . -'room. Men take that sort of thing for granted.

My bed on the porch off Uic living room was smoothed ciut when I expected guests, bu seldom expected them so - it ually presented a friendly tousled appearance. One of the things

that she loved him. Mike would come back to claim her. when tiie "j" was dotted:.

That's about all Mike, told nie of his love life. The kid never got a chance to find out whether Sonja cared for him. A week after that last trip to Boston' our outfit left the country, And now Mike was dead. I came back to the States on a hospital ship; it's only my arm that's hurt. I came back to a hospital not so far from Eew, England. One day while Em was visiting me we made up our minds to go to Bos- ton and have a, talk with Sonja the first chance we got. That was a week ago. •

I was given a ' leave starting last Saturday. My arm is pretty well healed by now. Of course I wanted to go home .to Vermont io spend a little time ' with my folks, but Boston isn* so far out of the way. Besides, ,1 sort cf wanted to hurt Sonja by telling her just what a strange smile the kid had on his face when hcfdicd. (Continued on Page 10)

which it .

waste so. much time on is the , making of beds and my chief gripe against our company com- mander when I was . in the In- fantry School was his foolish in- •sistence that beds be made. What rthly use is there, say I, of making a bed In the morning just to unmalie it to sleep in at night? ■

We were writing and preparing the "Cheers From . the Camps", Columbia Broadcasting System program, right at that time too, and script writers, directors and what not found, in my' .place a haven. Some of the best jjarts of that show, particularly the . re- • ous note, were . conceived dst piled up ash trays and general disorder, In fact, this was more than a 'house. It was a home that showed 'definite" signs of having been lived in.^

But this year there is Jean, an energetic, efficient sol- dier's wife who makes her home in ours. She supervised also the •colored man who ^ comes in once a week. Ash trays are emptied, floors are scrubbed, beds are made, things are picked up. 3Iy one note of defiance occur- red this morning when .Hold her not to let him touch the top of my burea»i where I have my'one orgy of disorder and where I kriow where every last thing is.

Kay complained last ye^i about the accumulation of soda. , bottles but.i ! smoothed her o^- when the FX- made a magni/i- ; cent refund for the who!6 lo^ This year such things arc frownea upon, and there is no such ac cumulation to show.

To toi) the whole thing General Rosenberger tells that the General doesn't Uke tn piles of stuff on my desk no the disorder on the desks of tn^ other former riewspapermen the office. I'm worried for if'^ that women and . the .^rmy ■ getHer are going to remove last vestige of freedom ^'^'^ _ joyed all these years. The « ^ tion or the swing of the pew lum might be terrific Right I envy a nice, interesting comber.

Novel Way To Stop Hiccoughs But- Well Take Vonilla

Candido 'Pancho' Rosado, a private in tlie Sth Company of the Sixth Basic Training Regiment, had a fit of hic- coughing in the regimental barber shop. When the attack failed to respond to the nu- merous methods suggested , by the barbershop's- customers, one of the barbers suddenly turned on Pancho, wielding a razor.

His rage appeared genuine as he slashed at the bewil- dered Paricho. Pancho ducked the swipe and started on the offensive. Suddenly he stop- ped and the barber smiled.

The hiccoughs also had , stopped and Pancho also smiled.

QM Quarter HourClianged

"the Quartermaster Quarter Hour", one of Forti Benning's old- est radio programs, has been shift- ed to a new time on Station WRBL in Columbus. Starting last Mon- day, the broadcast is aired on Monday evenings at 7:15 (EWT).

The fifteen-minute informative program has been aired for more than a year from the studio in Service Club No. 1 with the same cast, consisting of Col. Stephen B. Massey, post director- of supply and Staff Sgt. Carl Neu, of the pubUc relations staff.

Neu conducts the interview ieach week with Colonel Massey supply- ing a wealth of behind-the-scenes information on the varied activi- ties of the quartermaster branch of the Army- Service Forces. In the 60 programs that have been presented to date, the Q. M. of-

Chinese Soldier Made Colonel's Orderly Thrice

Pfc. Leong . Yow of Company B, 300th Infantry, has been on guard duty three times since joining this Infantry! School Regiment and on each occasion has been selected as the Colonel's Orderly.. That m it- self is sometjimg of an achieve- ment. ,

Pfc. Yow, who is Chinese, knows wh'kt bombings are all about. Less than three years ago Yow was stiU a Chuiese citizen residing with his family in Canton, China. He lived through daily bombings from the Japanese Air Force and witnessed the bayonet murder of a Chinese child by the sons of heaven.

He managed to get to America and obtained work in his brother's grocery store in San Francisco. In the short time he has been in this country he h^s picked up a work- ing knowledge of English, and now, although still retaining some of the singing qualities of his na- tive tongue, speaks English in a way that' would put many an American to shame.

Yow was inducted at the Pre- sidio Monterey, San Francisco, in October. 1942, completed his basic training at Fort McClellan and came here to Benning with the first group to form the 300th In- fantry in December, 1942. At the present time he is in a heavy wea- pons platoon and hopes some day to lob many a devastating shell from his 68-mm mortar on the

ns of heaven.

Yow's mother and sister are still in China. His brother is with the Air Force in Tennessee.

Contrary to a widespread mis- understanding, soldiers serving in the A. S. T. P. will not be required to serve any longer than men in any other branch of service.

During a recent month 9,000,000 pounds of candy were bought by the Quartermaster's Depot at Jer- sey City.

Next Monday night at the new time of 7:15 on Mondays, Colonel Massey will again discuss dehy- drated foods,, telling of the latest development^; in that hifeld and how the war-time discoveries of the Quartermaster Corps will in- fluence post-war food problems.

TE WELL BE e great thrill for this scribbler at least to watch Alice Marble and Mary Hardwick volley across the nets at the Of- ficers' Club courts on Sunday night when ttiey play their exhibition here. It'll seem like old times. We were rortunate enough to have £ ringside seat on the night of January B, 1941 (in pre- Army days) ct New York's vast Madison Square Garden when Alice and Mary opened their nation-wide pro tour with Deal Budge and BiU Tilden. They played beautifully that night, and Marble won by the EngUsh lass gave our girl a great battle and It was a thrilling match. Then, when they teamed up for mixed doubles with the two maestros. Budge and TlMen, the competition was even greater. It was a thrilling night of tennis, , ^, ^

We've eiw&ys been a great admirer of ^Jice Marble s branffi of temtic, even way back in Forest HUls days wheat she was win- ning the national singles crown. She strokes more like a male player than sny woman we've watched and that includes quite a few of tie more recent top-notcbers. Her coordination is per- fect, she plays with a fire and spirit and plays always to win. Her service is terrific, and her motions on the court belie ttie fact that she is a woman. Yet, she is a very lovely lady off the court, and one of the finest examples of our long-time belief that a woman can be an athlete and a feminine lovely at one and the same time. Mary Hardwick, too, is a great player although she never reached Marble's peak. But she can always 'give a good' account of herself, and has beaten Alice on numerous occasions during their exhibitions in the past two years.. It was Mary who once said that tennis is a truly international game and a tennis racket can serve as an interpreter all over the world. And she's right, if you'll remem- ber peace-time days when many different nations used to be repre- sented in the Wimbledon and Forest HiUs events. Yessir, it 11 sure faring back memories Sunday to see Alice and Mary play agam,

LATEST BALLPLAYER of note to arrive at Fort Benning is Boyd Bartley, the' sensational rookie shortstop that Branch Rickey grabbed off the Illinois College campus in June to plug the in- field gap on his faltering ^Brok- lyn Dodgers. Bartley was the talk of the country right then, but his stay in Dodger livery was short ■because he needed more season- ing and after playing a couple of weeks in- the big time, the Bums sent him to Montreal for devel- oping. But then,, Uncle Sam step- ped in and called up Bartley from hie vnrr li<;t Nov he's going through the infantry School officer ^^and^£L co'ise in thJ Srd'sTl. Here's hoping that the kid short- stop is assigned here and sticks around long enough Jto P^/ some ball 5 Gowdy Field next year. If he caught. Rickey's eye that way, he ought to do the same for the optics of soldier fandom, ■

EVEV THOUGH Benning was not-informed untU middieof this week about the event, there's still time for any crack swto- mers or divers at the post to enter the big affray up at Emory University in Atlanta over this , week-end. -The affaur j^^^^ southeastern A. A. U. Servicemen's Meet, and there 11 be compe- tftion in seven events. There are also a few events for service women included on the program. No A. A. U. registration num- bers are necessary, so if you're an aquatic star and expect to be in Atlanta on Saturday ni?:ht, you'll be more t^f" ^^Icome at « the Emory U. pool, and who knows, maybe sofie of the handsome prizes that are being offered wiU find their way back to Bennmg.

IT LOOKS LIKE there may be £. post golf league formed to op- erate during the early fall j; months. Although the regimental ij links campaign is getting a late :: start, there are now three units :i with full-fledged squads ready ji for inter-regimental competition, j: and a fourth club is expected to :i form shortly. The 176th Spirits { and 124th Gators have already j.. met in an informal match, and :;; now the 1st Training Regiment -.i; has tossed its hat into the golf ring, jii If and when the 300th Infantry gets its- team organized, a com-

f^^ATi^rJ^'lL Sme'ntal golf champion of the fort -Fte M^sounds swell and it would give athletes m tre grand oW sport to share some of the limelight that is usually accorded the baseballers End gridmen.

OUTDOOR SPORTSMEN in the Academic Regiment have just about the nicest set-up we've neard about in a lo^ time U they want to make use of it on a furlough or pass. The regi- ment has a rest camp in Destin. Florida, not too far from here which is strictly for enlisted men and their families who want to get away from the Army a bit and enjoy a rough, sunple bfe. It's evidently a swell place to fish swim and just rest._^ The camp sets back a mUe and a half from the^ mam road and^ ^tuated near waters that abound in blue-f^h. mackerel red snappers, flounders and crabs. Deep sea fishing, closed now to Sans, is permitted for soldiers who need only produce their dog-tags! That's really a set,up of which the regiment may well

be proud. '

CRACK COLORED nines from at least five other camps are ex- pected to come here during the third week in September for .the Colored Southeastern Sei-vice- men's Baseball tourney, which will be sponsored jointly by the F. B. A. A. and the Columbus Sportsmen's Club. Camp Wheeler, Camp Blanding, Gunter Field, Tuskegee Army Flying School and Tuskegee Army Hospital have already signified their in- tentions of entering the affair. Five of Bennings best service teams will probably make it a _ • ten-team tourpey, with half the

psmes to be played at Gowdy Field and the remainder in Golden iSf in Columbus It should produce some crack games to top off ffe dSnond^ea^n of 1943. undoubtedly the greatest m the forts history.

Lawson Grabs Laurels As Pitcher Loses No-Hlffer

Varchminn Defected In District Finals For Softball Title

Lawson Field defeated 1st Aca- demic company. Parachute school, by a score of 1-0 at Pittman Field in Bibb City Friday night in ttie final game of the district Softball tournament.

Everything happened in this game — ^from a team winning the championship on no hits, to a round of fisticuffs. The setup was the deciding game of the district Softball meet with a trip to the state tourney in Atlanta awaiting the winner.

Lawson managed to get one run across home plate in the first inning via a Parachute School er- ror, and that was all the scoring for the night. Both teams "goos- egged" from there, and as a re- sult, Lawson Field grabbed the title without making base hit. PITCHES HITLESS BALL

Earl Varchminn, * Parachute

pitcher, and one of the best ever seen here, was the victim, losing a tough one in which he pitched hitless Softball. His only mistake was walking a batter in the first inning. „

In the first of the seventh, a Lawson batter bunted, and the ball was fielded on the first base line by Varchminn.

In the first of the seventh, Lawson batter bunted, and the ball was fielded on the first base line by Varchminn. ONLY ONE HIT

The Parachute team secured one hit off the pitching of Rajob- bie against Lawson's no safeties. Five errors marred the play, three by the winners and two by the 4osers.

Lawson Field players, who were presented the winner's cup by District Commissioner Hugh Bentley, are now invited to take part in the state meet in Atlanta, the dates to be announced later. Lawson Field. . . 100 000 0—1 0 3 Par. School ... 000 000 0—0 1 2

Paratroopers Are Up In Arms Over Story Of Softball Tilt In Bayonet

By PVT. FOUNTAIN MEADOWS The Farachnte School

There was peace and quiet on the muscle-clad campus of The Parachute School on the afternoon of Thursday, Aug. 19, 1943, Sweetness and light reigned. Life was beau- tiful and the softball title was in the .^ag. ASSAULT BY PRESS

And then what happened? Stukas? S p i e s? Sabotage? No. We were assaulted in the rear and on the flanks by the press. Boom it went with "Softball Ace Wanted Story in the Bayonet So Naturally We Oblige" written by (in VERY large letters) Pee F. Cee .Woodall. The Nazis in Poland, the low countries and France. The Japs at Pearl Harbor. Same thing. ' Stealth- ily we were stalked in our sleep— the sleep of the inno- cent.

But no more!

Aux armes! Awake! We have been undone, calum- niated, castigated, lambasted and generally made to appear as immodest and publicity- mad guys. We are not. We lay no claim to undue adver- tisement of our prodigious prowess. It speaks for itself, John.

WRITER UNKNOWN

We do not know this, this Woodall person. And we can't, for the life of us, fig- ure out his infantile attitude. We prefer not to flatter his exercises ..in incidentalia. To ■do him bodily harm, above all, we disdain. We merely suggest that, if he has time, he re-examine his attitude to- ward us and refurbish it— for everybody's good temper and health.

."Put that in the Bayonet" was what Varchminn, our Volatile Valloper, said at the

end of that game (won by us). We ask all fairrminded people if that sounds like mugging' the spotlight? Of course, it's all in how you say it. We assiire you that venom is the last quality you will find in the calm, re- served voice of Sgt. Varch- minn.

SARGE IS SAD

Sgt. Lawrence is sad — he goes around mumbling to himself and' clenching and unclenching his fist. The whole team Is sad. A kind of sadness though that breeds determination to see justice triumph.

This may be a plot to take our minds off the game — our eyes off the ball and our fists where they should never be. Have no fear — by the right eousness of our cause ye shall know us. Virtue and Varch- minn ^ wijl see us through. Well, janyway, it was a moral victory.

Veteran Court Star To Play For Eagles

When the Sixth Regiment bas- ketballers don their trunks and take to the gymnasium floor for practice this fall, one of the top contenders for- a place on the team will be 1st Lf. Runa S; White, executive officer of the 13th Co.

Lt. White has had five years playing and coachin "gexperience, counting to his credit four years of intercollegiate play and one year of semi-pro play.

In 1940, Lt. White, forward on the Tennessee State College team, was chosen as All-Smoky Moun- tain Conference forward. The next year he played with the Ten- nessee Real Estators, a semi-pro team.

Total strike outs for 23 innings in that abbreviated tilt, were 49— and all within 24 hours. That's pitching In any league, any time! Of course, Weimaker isn't exactly a novice at the art , of throwing curve balls, having pre- viously pitched for the Atlanta Black Crackers, Macon Peaches, Philadelphia Stars and Homestead Grays, prior to his induction Into the army.

Both Miss Marble and Miss Hardwick have played matches for soldiers previously at various Army camps throughout the na- tion, but this is their first oppor- tunity to perform for the Women's Army Corps. The tennis clinic and physical fitness- lecture which will follow the matches is ex- ■pected to be very beneficial to WACs at Benning. WACs MAY PLAY

Although the exhibition will consist chiefly of a singles match between Miss Marble and Miss Hardwick, an attempt is also be- ing made to arrange a doubles match between the two stars^ playing with partners drawn from among the tennis players in one of the local WAC units.

Both of the visiting stars start- ed playing the game at the age of and have been in the tennis limelight ever since 1936 when Alice Marble won her first na- tional singles title.

FAVORED BY KING

Mary Hardwick came into real international prominence in 1938 when she defeated famed Helen Wills Moody to win the Scandi- navian crown. She has never been beaten by a British player since 1940 and is considered by King Gustav of Sweden as his 'favorite partner".

Both players made their pro debut at the same time when they began a nationwide tour with Don Budge and Bill Tilden in January of 1941 at Madison Square Gar- den. Both have also devoted much time to the war effort in various capacities.

The fifth frame saw the Servicemen push across another run to move in front and a big, four-run sixth inning settled the issue.

First baseman Kersey Pruitt proved the big" gun in this barrage, tripling with the sacks full. Bob Klunk, after a shaky start, sur- vived the rough spots and pitched fine ball the /est of the way to earn the win. The Hq. club used three men on the hill, none of

BY COEP. MARV MATHEE Tonight fmals m the 176th Regimental Tournament- will be held in Doughboy Stadium with the initial bout to begin at 8:45. There will be ten bouts on the card with six being for individual duunpion- stgps and the remammg four, consolation and exhibition contests.

Pairmgs for tomght's bouts should produce some highly col- orful battles. On the card is ar exhibition bout between "Champ' Aguirre, former Virgima, North Carolina, and 29th Division titlist, and William Seitz, from Rich- mond, Va., a one hundred and twelve pound veteraii. FEATHERS BATTLE .

The feathei-weight battle will be between "Toughy" Thompson, the up and coming newcomer, and Godfrey Eley, former Virginia Gol- den Gloves champion.

In the lightweight class it will be Red Bootwright and Sam Rak- ich, both winners on Tuesday night. Rakich packs a terrific punch while Bootwright is a tricky boxer. ; ■ ' MILLER EIGHTS

Lloyd Miller and Bob Dunning will fight for the welterweight title. Miller is a clever and hard punching fighter but may have trouble with the Indiana protege.

Hugh Miller, former runner up in the Junior National AAU Tour- nament, will fight Thomas Isp- hording for the middleweight title. Isphording fought Tuesday night but Miller has not fought up to this time in the tourney. HERKIMER ACE

The states of Maryland and New York will be represented in the Ughtheavy weight battle. Franco, from Herkimer, N. Y., and former clubmate of Lou Ambers, will op- pose short and chubby Ryan, .win- ner on Tuesday night in a color- ful fight with Tabakin. Franco is a wicked slugger but the veteran Ryan might stage an upset.

In the top event of the evening and in the heavyweight class, 'Swede" Vanette, from South Bend, Ind., and former state AAU champion will square off against Steve Kopacki. Vanette, a power- ful fighter, will undoubtably have plenty of trouble against green but very durable Kopacki. CONSOLATION BOUTS

Other fights will be held for consolation titles .in various weights. Winners of tonight's bouts will fight against the 300th In^ fantry on Sept. Srd.

Last Tuesday night before an estimated crowd of thirty-five himdred boxing fans the prelimi- nary bouts were held. In the thir- teen bouts staged, four ended in technical knockouts with other re- ceiving close and hard fought de- cisions?

TPS Tossers Clinch Second-Half Crown In Benning League

Mike Hogan and his Para- chute School nine clinched the second-half title honors in the Fort Benning League on Tuesday night at Gowdy Field when they tumbled the 53rd General Hospital entry, 12-6. It was the sixth win in a row for the chutists, and put them tiiree games out in front of the loop with only two scheduled tilts remaining.

It was a repeat perform- ance for the chutists who also grabbed the first half gonfalon in the post loop. At the end of that campaign, the TPS nine lost three in a row to the Academic Profs in the post title series, but they hope to do better in their next chance. Pete Bardin, ace right-hander, was the win- ning pitcher Tuesday as the chutists swept to their second crown of the season.

Prendergast Is Hero As Eagles Defeat Spirits

Southpaw Ace Blanks League Leaders To Make Tie For Lead

BY CORP. 3VIARV MATHRE

The 6th Eagles come up again to put the TIS League into a two-way tie and a mad scramble for second half honors on Sun- day night. Previously it was the Gators who fell before the Eagle onslaught. Now. the Eagles and the vaunted Jim Prendergast set back the 176th Spirits into first place deadlock with tl Academic Profs.

Prendergast pitched brilliant ball as the Spirits attempted vain- ly to retain sole possession of their league lead. Hurling a shut but game the big cocky lefthander scattered six Spirit hits to win, 2-0.

COOPER LOSES

Cooper, Spirit pitcher, hurled a fine game but the failure of the Spirits to hit gave the ace right- hander his second loss of the sea- The Eagles garnered only

hits. Although the hitting

was about even on both teams the Eagles bunched their hits while the Spirits scattered six hits from the first to the ninth iiming.

The first Eagle run was scored in the second inning with Galli- can hitting a single, Kemether followed with a single and Galli- van scored on a long fly to left field. The Eagles toUied again in the fifth inning as Shiver and Prendergast singled. Shiver scored on a passed ball.

stay in a booth for many endless minutes, tallung up a storm to the girl of his dreams and oblivious to the mounting costs — only to walk out of the booth and say for the edification of all and sundry, "Aw shucks, I forgot the most im- portant thing. I'll have to write her a letter."

The telephone pay station i , seems, one of the most popular places for soldiers to spend the money which jingles in their jeans. It is not unusual for a sol- dier to come into the station, plank down a wad of dough and say, "I just won .$26 in a card game. Ring my number in Portland, Ore- gon, and don't stop me until I've talked up all this money. I'll pay you in advance." Another soldier talked to his girl in Detroit for ho less than 46 full minutes. • Foreign calls are often handled. An officer candidate who had just won his gold bars called up his family, in Puerto Rico to tell them the happy news. The conversation, carried on in Spanish,' soon brought in his bride-to-be as well. A Brazilian Army officer visiting the post solicited the aid of the attendants ' in getting news from his home in Rio De Janerio, from which he had no news in the three months he had been away. Equal to the occasion ,the attendants proceeded to get his family on line in far-off Eio, and enabled him to carry on a cherished con- versation in Portuguese with his

'High, Wide 'n Hondsome' Opens at Post Saturday

loved ones. Needless to say, the attendants were recipients ot pro- fuse gratitude from the visiting officer.

FRIENDS OF SOLDIERS

Soldiea come to look upon the attendants as friends, advisers and confidents. They bring in their wives or girls and introduce them to the ones instrumental 'in pro- viding visits from a distance over the long lines of the telephone company. They bring in yet-bald babies and . make the attendants who handled their calls for them at the time of the birth feel as if they actually had something to do witn the child's arrival.

Of times, fan mail thanking them for their work and paying glow- mg tribute to their efficiency finds its way to the ladies who assist the soldiers ^n their calls. Appar- enUy considered the possessors of Ihe wisdom of Pallas Athene, these attendants are requested to give information as to how warm the baby's milk should be heated, or other varieties of personal advice. At times, the attendants have ev- en helped soldiers , compose tele- grams, despite.the fact the charg- es for same goes into the coffers of a competitior of sorts.

The three attendants, Miss Mi- nora Crocker, Miss Louise Tor- bett, and Mrs. Odell Adaifls, all of Columbus, and the supervisor, Miss Norma Fleming' of Colum- bus, as well as L, A, "Jack'* Wood, manager of the Southern Bell Tel- ephone Co., at Fort Benning, con- sider Fort Benning soldier;; to be astonishingly patient on the whole.

Soldiers wait sometimes sever- al hours for a line to be cleared for their connection, and are usu- ally very good-natUred about the wait, they say, "When the boys begin to fidget a little and show signs of becoming impatient, we just kid' them a Uttle," the at-r tendants say, "and they just kid right back and pay no attention to the little waits they have to un- dergo. Fort Benning soldiers un- derstand the difficulties of getting calls through during wartime, and they are really excellent sports."

The show will move to Sand Hill . Tuesday, where it will play in Theater No, 7 at 7:30 and at 9:30 The remaining two per- formances will be in Harmony Church, in Harmony Bowl Wed- nesday at 8:45 p, m,- and in the Third Student Traimng Regiment Amphitheatre Thursday at 8:45 p. m.

Appearances wil be in the near- t War Department theaters should any of the outdoor per- formances be threatened by un- favorable . weather, . Lt. Cdl. Charles 'C, Finnegan, special ser- vice officer in post headquarters, announced. Admission is, • of . absolutely free to all mili- tary personnel.

The JRogers orchestra, a favorite of America's dancing youngsters, has six pieces of brass, "five reed and three rhythm.- The .band, is also good for "listening" - with novelty . and comedy routines blended with arrangOments of the Benny Goodman sVving-schoo]i type..

S- Eliot's 'Ode to the Readers of the Boston Even- ing Transcript' of whom the- poet says they 'sway in the wind like a field of ripe corn'."

In the fieM of American letters The Spur occupied the same posi- tion in the magazine category which the Transcript did in the more localized sphere of the news- paper. Both of those truly august publications have more or less lately expired in a world which sets an ever diminishing premium on a figurative "exclusiveness" along with that group of people which those who did not belong to it called "society."'

The Spur was very "old guard" indeed. It was founded at the very dawn of this century by a Van- derbilt and a Mackay and con- cerned itself entirely with the do- ings and diversions of the' sort of people Edith Wharton wrote about and it wouldn't budge an inch. If she had the requisite number of quarterings a woman's picture might be published in Spur de- spite her having been divorced but never — never because of a Reno sojourn.

When I joined the staff we had, besides the New York office, a representative on Cockspur St. in London and others in Paris and Zurich. Of all American publica- tions Spur was the- one which was known and respected by the in- transigeant grandees of England and the Continent. EMINENT SUBSCEEBEES

The subscription list read . like a composite of the Social Regis- ters, the Almanach de Gotha and Debrett. Her Serene Highness the Margravine of -Hesse Darmstadt, Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Kent, the Prince and Princess of Piedmont, the Cardinal Patriarch of Ragusa, the Honorable Mrs. Wheatwillis-East, Cabots, , Stay vesants, D w i g h t s , Horrys, Chapins, Crowninshields, . Calverts and Randolphs and so on but definitely not ad infinitum for there was most definitely a "fin- itum" for we published no pic- ture of "pin up girls". Mediatized royalties don't admit going that sort of thing.

Members of our rival "Town & Country" staff used to maliciously claim that no one" ever read "The Spur" but merely kept it on the drawing room table to give a rare- tied atmosphere to the establish-

ment. We in turn used to make cutting observations .:■ about the pre-occupation of T&C with "that crowd" which disported itself amid the imitation zebra stripes and cel- lophane palm trees of El Morroco and the mendacious smartness of The Stork Club and Twenty One. Our readers were the sort of peo- people who considered the Ritz sUghtly vulgar and whose Crane- Simplexes and Stevens - Durreas were more apt to be seen outeide the Plaza at tea time. M.FJls who looked as though they'd es- caped from a Peter Arno cartoon wrote us indignant open letters pro and con the bobbing of horses tails and ladies straight from the pen of Mary Petty sent notes from Tuxedo Park inquiring where they might find whalebones for their lace collars. There was a general flavor of Propperts Saddle Soap, Major's Cement and Florida Wa- ter about the whole thing.' ADS ENCHANT HIM

The real estate advertisements used to enchant me. These were largely iUustrated by photographs and concerned with castles on islands off the Kentish coast, villas at Mentone and shooting boxes m the Adirondacks whose interiors were furnished largely with such a myriad of antlers, bearskin rugs and a pot pourri of stuffed ani- mal life general as to give them the look of so many surrealistic Noah's Arks.

The photographs in the fore part of each issue preceding the table of contents and called "Spur of the Moment" pertained to horse faced Royal Italian Duchesses sip- ping creme yvette with one of the Khedivial family and the Preten- der to the Throne of Poland on the Terrace of Shepherds at Cairo, the Agha Khan beinjg apparently ig- nored by the Queen Mother at As- cot and cavortings of our native patriciate at Newport, Piping Rock, Bar Harbor and Southamp- ton.

Crises of a violent nature were very rare in the offices of' The Spur and the only one which stands out in my memory is the occasion when proofs intended for the Communist "DaUy Worker" were once delivered to our office by the muddle, headed devil of the printer who functioned for both publications. The offensive sheets were picked up with tongs, drop- out the window and the office sprinkled with holy water and 4711 Eau de Cologne.

The public which The Spur served, never large but now nearly as extinct as modesty and good manners subscribed to the cur- rently tinthinkable heresy that there is no such thing as "good" publicity and its members strove as hard to keep their names and pictures of themselves and their possesions out of print as the av- erage taxpayer does to get same in.' They made an exception, how- ever, to The Spur seeming to con- sider it not as a public print but rather like a sort of circular let- ter whereby they could keep in- formed of the movements, and geographical situations of their friends in clubs on the Bund at Shanghai or Hongkong, boar hunts in the Carpathians .or shoots in Scotland. - OPEN SESAME

All this sort of thing definitely made for cachet and when a mem- ber of Spur's staff was introduced to an ambassador at a reception the official smile became a trifle less impersonal when he learned of one's connection. Fashionable hotel's reserve crumbled and the reticence of de luxe liners sunk when that open sesame was mur^ mured.

Who but a complete dunderhead wouldn't enjoy such eclat? I did: I loved it: But I always had too much joie de vivre to allow such a rarefied atmosphere to dull my taste for more catholic pleasures. I performed my work competently and with modest distinction but, withal, I was too busy enjoying

myself to have time to become a gentleman.

The United States Army mani- fests a benevolent and under- standable curiosity concerning the past accomplishments of its pros- pective members and naturally, when 1 was given a form to fill out I listed my several past edi- torial posts with The Spur near the end.

One day during my basic train- ing I was told that Captain Blinker wished me to communi- cate with him. I inquired who this officer was and received a rather vague reply to the effect that he had something to do with Public Relations. This gave me quite a lift. "Hmm— " I thought," "this army is certainly on the ■ ball. Here I am only a few weeks in it and, hearing what a superior brand of. mouse trap I make they're already beating a path to my door." I decided that there must be, after all, something in the much touted determination of placing G. I.'s in jobs to which they're best suited. I thereupon scuttled off to the telephone anS called the Captain's number. CAPTAIN BLINKER

"Hello — Captain Blinker? This is Private Devine speaking. I was told you wanted me to call you."

"Oh yes— yes — . Let me. see — you'\'€ had editorial and writing experience, haven't you?" "Yes. sir."

"What publication- were you

with last?" "The Spur, Captain." "What did you say?" "Spur."

"I'm sorry I still don't hear you."

"SPUR MAGAZINE."

"Dear me — I have a very poor connection. .Would you mind spelling it?"

"Not at aU. S-P-U-R,"

"OH — FUR — I get you now. You know it's f uimy 1 thought you were saying "Spur" all the time."

"I was<-Eir."

"Yes, yes, I get you now 'Fur' er — that must be one of those fur- rier's trade journals."

"Yessir, I suppose it must be," I allowed; utterly defeated.

"Well — thanks for calling, De- vine — good-bye." ..

Some time later I had to appear before a committee of officers (for no discreditable reason I make haste to say) and the highly per- tinent question was put to me concerning my previous experi- ence. 1 obliged with an autobiog- raphy which went along smoothly until my peroration which re- vealed that I had served as asso- ciate editor of The Spur when one of my interrogators interrupted. • "The Spur — ? Oh yes — one of those racing sheets I expect."

I suppressed a little gasp of out- raged vanity and hurriedly cast about for words in* which I could succintly and respectfully correct this appalling misapprehension. The senwr officer of the group, a colonel, apparently "old Army," spared me the effort by hastily

Columbus Housing Situation Is Acute

Reiterating the shortage of housing facilities in Columbus, Captain J. A. White, Fort Ben- ning building officer, said the situation has become very acute and urged all persons in ,town to make available, for rent which they did- need. "

These may be reported to the U. S. Army Bileting Office, third floor, Columbus Bank and Trust Company, located at Twelfth street and Broadway, or by phon- ng Columbus, 8213.

Captain White add.ed that the housing situation is probably more acute than ever in the over- crowded city.

Stamp Club

On September 14, the Post Of- fice Department in Washington will issue a five cent stamp hon- oring Belgium, one of the Euro- pean countries that have been overrun by the Axis. This will be number six of the series.

* • *

It has been announced that only twenty million of each of the . flag stamps will be issued.' This is a very low number, even for a commem- orative, and it looks as though the price on this par- ticular series will rise very rapidly. Even now, while the stamps are still being sold in the post offices, the whole- salers are offering one and one-half and two cents apiece for fine used copies.

If that letter you're going to send by air mail weighs more than two ounces, don't seal it up too tight, because wartime postal regulations require that the con- tents be inspected. And while on the subject of wartime restric- tions, don't try to 'export any stamps without proper authority, from the Postal Censorship au- thorities in New York.

A lot . of people like to trade stamps by mail with other collec- tors, but it's a vei-y good idea to step carefully and keep an eye on the law. It is all right to send stamps into Canada, but this is the only exception. Otherwise, though, it is necessary to secure a peirmiti

Of -course, there is an ab- solute ban on all of the Axis countries, and also on certain "neutrals." If any of you col- lectors desire complete infor- mation relative to exporting- .philatelic material, get in touch with the Fort Benning Stamp Club, and we can give you the information you will need.

The next scheduled meeting of the Club is August 10. See you then:

That's a beautiful diamond Dorothy Cook is wearing, 'When can we announce date and the name of the love-of- your-life?

Mildred Feinberg, secretary to the Post Inspector, is having a wonderful time in New York. Seems Mildred had been planning this trip "off and on" but mostly "off" for two years, so we are glad to know that she has actually gone.

A nice big hand for the flower gapden Cpl. Pauline Hodulick has cultivated in her spaie time at the Sand HiU Service Club. You know Pauline was a farmerette before elnlisting in the WAC so she just has to keep her "growing" hand in practice.

There's an extra special story behind the new flag in the day- room and also the one behind Lt. Gaine's desk. They are special gifts from Pvt. Dorothy Eble, who fell heir to some money, wanted to share it with her buddies so the flags. And what an addition they do make to the Headquarters and the day room.

Have you WACs seen the service pins you can buy for your folks back home? Nice little tricks with as many as three service stars on them if there are that . many in any branch of the service in your family.

Congratulations to Anna Thomp- n who left Saturday for Finance School. She is the first WAG to be selected from Fort Benning to at- tend this school and the entire

company is that proud of her. She hopes that after successful completion of her course at.WaHe- Forest College, Wake Forest, N. C., she wilf be returned to Benning.

When Louise Martin and Emory Lade went to the Ralston Hotel Saturday morning for their wed- ding breakfast, lo and behold! there were three wedding cakes waiting for them. One from the Bakers and Cooks " School, one from the groom's company mess and one from the Hotel Ralston. What with all the important guests they had for their break- fast it was a good thing so many cakes were sent., ^

All that noise you hear at WAC headquarters is just Sergeant Helen Spears wrestling with her . new morning report. \

Sgt. Mabel Lahe had a nice fur- lough to visit the folks back home in Philadelphia, and what should she bring back to Lt. Games, her Co, but another dog to add to her "wolf pack"._^ . ^

Sgt, Peggy Ryan, secretary to Col. Rosenberger, has returned to her desk after being seriously iL- with' pneumonia.
