Italian Prisoners Cheer Armistice

Cheers of "Viva L Roosevelt”!

Those prisoners of war who had j Everything is issued to the war been out working on some 20 j prisoners, down to a toothbrush farms during the day had heard land a razor, and those who ar-

;ws. Some of the new ar- rival had heard it, too, but they did not believe.

. ..At was .only., when Col. George U. Chescheir, commanding officer- of the camp, told the "padre,” Lt. Roderick McEachen, to speak to them in 'their native tongue that they actually believed what they had mistrusted before.

There were cheers, too, when Chaplain McEachen granted a re- quest that had been made by the men after they learned of the . ar- mistice. He told them, in Italian, that the colonel would allow them to hold a Te Deum — Thanksgiving — mass on Sunday.

. The news of the armistice coin- |.-cided with the arrival of the new P contingent of war prisoners. These men were making their first real stop since being taken prisoner in Sicily. Haggard, unshaven and ragged and with obviously crush- ed spirit, nevertheless their eyes shone as they were convinced that :he war was over for Italy.

Maybe it was the news they' re- j ceived and maybe it was 'the new] clean clothes, the bath and shave. Perhaps it was a, combination of both, but the contrast between the men waiting their turn and those who had been newly outfit- ted was unbelievable unless it were seen.

The one group looked wretched, the men barely dragging their feet. Those who had gone through the process had a spring in their stride, their new white! undershirts practically glistened against their tanned bodies, and they whistled, sang and saluted every American they saw, officer and enlisted man alike.

But their being cleaned up was not all. From the showers' they went to mess halls, and there on the tables were meat, potatoes, macaroni and peas, fruit salad and a cold chocolate milk drink. In one mess hall 200 or more men

one man shouted. Another made an unprintable comment about Mussolini.

Colonel Chescheir escorted pub- lic relations officers through the internment camp so' that they might see what was taking place.

With

collegiate stars already on hand for the daily workouts, the 124th Gators, 176th Spirits and 300th Sabers are rapidly developing into grid machines that will spell trou- ble for every outside opponent oi thpir schedule.

Latest rah-rah star to report is George Poschner, Georgia’ American end of last fall,, who] gained eternal fame for his spec- tacular work on the receiving end of .Fireball. Frankie Sinkwich’sl throughout the regular! season and in the Rose Bowl vic- tory of the Bulldogs last January. POSCHNER TO 176TH

Poschner, just graduated from

, C. school twelve days ago, has been assigned to the 17th Infantry and reported Tuesday morning for his first workout in Spirit togs. Along with Poschner, the Spirits also gained another valuable line- man from the 1942 Bulldog eleven! in the person of J. P. Miller, secy| ond-string guard oh the Rose Bowl eleven.

The arrival of Poschner and Mil- ler brought to four the number of ex-Bulldogs who will cavort . in Doughboy Stadium this fall. |Lamar (Racehorse) Davis and Jim Todd, fleet Georgia backs, already are vital cogs in the 1943 plans of j the 124th Gators, last fall’s post champions. Two of Alabama’s Orange Bowl heroes, Sam Eharp and Jack McKewen, are also wear- 1 ipg -Gator colors this season.

MATERIAL GALORE

To list the famed collegiate gridders here at the post would be nigh impossible right now, since all three major elevens have plenty, with the possibility of still more being added before the first referee’s whistle is looted. -

The Gators, Spirits and Sabers will all operate as members of the Fort Benning Conference and will play each other twice in Doughboy Stadium. In addition, all three clubs are rounding out their schedule against outside! collegiate and service opposition.

tention as Colonel Chescheir ered, but when he motioned them to resume their eating they lost no time in indicating that they had not been used to the kind of food they were being served here.

The 124th eleven will meet a pair of powerful Navy elevens on foreign gridirons, travelling to Jacksonville on September 25, and to Memphis on November 21 for games with Naval Air Technical Training Center clubs in those cities. In addition, the Gators will meet Daniel Field and. Newberry College’s Indians.

Big game of the Saber campaign will be its October 16th clash with Georgia Tech in Atlanta. The Yellow Jackets, heralded as one 6t the best in the country this fall, will provide a stem test for the 300th gridmen, but Saber fans are confident their club can battle tne Techmen on even terms.

Rally, Street Dance Netted $4,800;

Private Buys $5,000 Bona;

Cash war bond purchases for September already exceed $100,- 000 at Fort Benning and the post figure for the month including pay reservation?, may reach $500,000, it was disclosed today by Major' George Fink, War Bond officer while discussing prospects of the 3rd War Loan Drive.

In addition to the war bond rally and street dance last week which netted $4,800 in bond sales, several individuals, officers and enlisted men have made pur- chases in the four-figure column. Heading this group is Private Otis G. Renner of the quartermaster office, with a $5,000 bond: others include Major Frederick A Smith-Peterson, quartermaster of- fice, $1,000; and Lieut. Ibbie Jones, WAC, Detachment, Station Complement, Section I, $1,000.

However, the bulk of the amount will be purchased by military organizations and posf activities, it is expected’. One ol these; the Fifst Student Training Regiment of the Infantry School, is already- 'a* leading ■’investor will*'; the purchase of $39,025 in -bone securities.

Major Fink added that pay res- ervations contribute approximate- ly $200,000 monthly toward this national program, and cash pur- chases at the local post office amount to between $60,000 and; $100,000. With these figures ini mind it is very likely thal* Fort] Benning will reach the $500,000] mark for September which would be a post record for a 30-day ; period.

That little warning was issued today by Sgt. Louis Lipp, secre- tary of the Ft. Benning branch of I the Muscogee rationing board, as] he pointed out that a special dis- pensation was granted extending the mailing deadline to Sept. 11 only. Previously it had been set for Sept. 1.

Those failing to get their appli- cations in before the deadline will have to go* to Columbus to make an application before the ration- ing board officials there, he warned.

Brown coupons lor meats will go into effect on Sept. 12, he said, while others in the book will go into effect later.

Col. Ryder Back’ at Post As 542 Paratroops' CO

Veteran Officer Says Yankee Jumpers As Good As They Think

The American paratroopers are just as good in com- bat as they think they are in every day life and are just as cocky. . *

That is the way Lt. Gol. William T. Ryder who jumped and fought in the Sicilian paratrooper invasion sums up the actions of the men he went into combat with.

Back to Fort Benning as the commanding officer of the newly activated 542nd Parachute Infan- try, Col. Ryder has nothing but praise for the parachutists and the equipment they used.

‘We used to wonder what these men with their cocky swagger, their polished boots and wings would do under fire,” the colonel 1 said. “We know now that they’re just as good as they think they are. Some of the men jumped and fought even though they were wounded on their way. Some of them found they had jumped in the wrong place, but they showed plenty of initiative and they went up and down the roads raising plenty of hell with the Italians.

BEHAVE LIKE VETS

‘The men behaved like veter- ans even though it was their first time under fire. That proved to us that their training program had been thoroughly sound.”

Col. Ryder served a dual pur- in the Sicilian, operation as a liaison officer between the troop carrier wing and .the parachute units and also as a parachute ob- server attached to a regiment had trained at Fort Ben-

eight days in Sicily by' which time their positions had been consolidated he returned to Africa where he wrote his re- port which he brought back to this country. Here he made a few lectures and then reported to his assignment at Benning. A week ago Thursday night he ap- peared on the “We the People” network radio program.

Col. Ryder’s name is synony- mous with parachuting and in his brief -seven years since leaving] West Point be has written - a bril-j liant chapter in the' history of] modern warfare.

PIONEER JUMPER

young first lieutenant] with the 29th Infantry he was] of a few pioneers who volun-

teened to begin the United States Army Parachute troops, and it was he who commanded, instruct- ed and trained the first platoon, of jumpers. Later he helped or- ganize and design the program for the 501st Parachute Battalion, the first unit of this size. More battalions came along and finally the Parachute School was formed from the provisional organization in May, 1942, with Col. Ryder as assistant commandant. Up until this time he had been charged with the task of directing the en- tire training program: i .During the early days of para- chuting Col. Ryder personally de- veloped many of the training de- vices which are still used in the school, one of them bearing his najne— “Rydfer’s Death Ride,” a misnomer since it is credited with saving many future possible [juries.

Last summer he said goodbye to friends and bobbed up in. Eng- land where he went as an ob- server for this country’s airborne command. He went through their parachute training program and qualified by British standards,] then returned to this country and! airborne command headquarters] . Fort Bragg.

From there it was to North Africa where he assisted in the planning and* training for the Sicilian operation, and it is this background that he brings to the new 542nd.

He and Mrs. Ryder and their | daughter are living now post.

FEDERAL INCOME tax 1942 Far Members of the Armed Sendees

•20. For the purpose of estimat-

ing your 1943 tax the Bureau of internal Revenue has proviaed two forms. The first form, known as the “short form, is for estimating tax on incomes not; over $10,000. It is very much j like the “short form” 1040 A used for incomes not over $3,000. m -making your 1942 income i tax . re- turn and involves the use of a tax table. The second form, khown as the “alternate form or “long form” is very much like the 1040 form used m making

1942 tax return. Both forms are self explanatory and by now a form has probably reached you from your Internal Revenue Col- lector.

'21. Following the data regard- ing the “Current Tax Payment Act of 1943” published in nhej 19 issue of “The Bayonet , vou have probably been able to estimate your 1943 Income Tax.

You should now compare the amount of the 1943 }.ax with the amount of the 1942 tax and. if the 1942 tax is not greater than ihe 1943 tax proceed as indicated in paragraph 5. If the 1942 tax is greater than the 1943 tax pro- ceed as indicated in paragraph 6.

The following examples will help you check four figures: ^

22. Where 1942 is not greater than 1943 .

(1) If your 1942 tax was $50 nr less, the amount of your whole

1943 tax is what you will pay Jess any payments you have "made on the 1942 tax.

Example: 1942 tax $40. 1943

lax $90. You paid $10 March, SID June, still owe $70 (90-20). You pay $35 September, $35 De- cember,

(2) If your 1942 tax was be- tween $50 and $66.67, the amount vou will pav is your 1943 tax plus the difference between $50 and your 1942 tax, less any pay- ment.

Example: 1942 tax $60. 1943.

tax $90 plus $10 (60-50) or $100. You paid $15 March, $15 June, still owe $60 (90-30). The “plus1 RIO” does not have to be paid until March 1944 $5, and March 1945 $5, if you wish. But you will pay $30 September, $30 De- cember .

(3) If your 1942 tax was $66.67 nr more,; you will pay 1943 tax plus 25 per cent of 1942 tax (but the 25 per cent can be paid 1-2

; March 1944 and 1-2 March 1945 if you wish), less any payments.

Example: 1942 tax $120. 1943

tax £200. Your 1943 tax liabil- ity is S200 plus 25 per cent of $120, or $30, total $230. You paid $30 March, $30 June, still

GROCERY and MARKET (Ft. Benning Rd. at PHONE

Baker Village) 9766

$140 (200-60). You pay $70 September, $70 December.

23. Where 1942 tax is greater than 1943 tax.

First you will recompute your 1942 tax eliminating your earned net income, that is, you elimi- nate the first $3,000 of net r~ come regardless if its source, your net income was more than $3,000, you eliminate earned net income up to $14,000. This will leave for recomputation two] items:

(1) Earned net income. /

| $14,000.

(2) All unearned income.

You now compare your esti- mated 1943 tax with the amount of your recomputed 1942 tax.

(1) If your 1942 recomputed tax is zero and your 1943 tax is ,zero, you pay nothing but will : file a return to protect a refund of amounts paid on 1942 tax. The refund will be due in March 1944 or you can leave it to apply on your estimated 1944 tax.

Example: All your 1942 in-

come was earned (salary less than $$14,000), your 1943 tax is zero (you were a Captain with two fogies, $2640, married $1200 exemption, Service exclusion $1500.) You don’t owe anything but you have a refund or credit of payments made on 1942 tax.

(2) If your recomputed 1942 tax is zero and your 1943 tax is less than $50 and more than zero, you will pay the 1943 tax, less payments.

Example: 1942 income was

earned (Civilian salary and Ser- pay totaled less than $14,- 000.) Your 1942 tax $60, 1943 tax $42. Recomputed 1942 tax is zero. You pay $42 less pay- ments ($15 March, $15 June, $30, or $1?. Pay $6 September, $6 December.

(3) If your recomputed 1942 tax is zero and your 1943 tax is between $50 and $66.67, you will pay your 1943 tax plus the ex- cess of your 1943 tax over 150, less payments.

Example: 1942 tax (80 (earn- ed income less $14,000). 1943 tax $65. Recomputation of 1942 tax is zero. Your tax liability is $65 plus $15 (65-55) or $80. You paid $20 March, $20 June which applies against the $65 leaving $25 which you may pay $12.50 Sept., $12.50 December. The “plus $15” you may pay $7,50 March 1944, $7.50 March 1945, if you wish .

(4) If your recomputed 1942 tax is zero and your 1943 tax ex- ceeds $66.67 you will pay 125 per -cent of your 1943 tax, less payments.

i Example: 1942 tax $250 (all earned income). 1943 tax $160. Recompytation . makes, 1942 tax zero. Ybur"lrability is $200 ($160 plus 25 per cent of $160, or $40). You paid ($62.50 March, $62.50 June) $125 on 1942 tax .which is credited against $160 leaving $35 which you pay, $17.50 September $17.50 December. You may if •you wish pay the “plus 25 per cent or $40” as follows: $20 March 1944 and $20 March 1945. [No interest charged.

(5) If your recomputed 1942 | tax is more than zero and your 1943 tax is more than $66.67, you will pay your 1943 tax plus the difference between your re- computed 1942 tax and -your 1943 tax, plus 25 per cent of your 1943 tax, less payments.

Example: 1942 tax $6,800 (Net income $20,000. $15,000 was ci-

vilian salary and $5000 was rents, dividends, etc.) 1943 tax $80. Recomputation eliminates $14,000 so you figure it on $6000 or about $1200 tax. Your liability is $80 plus $1120 ($!200-$80), plus $20 (25 per cent of $80), total $1220.

24. You should now be ready to fill out the return form 1040- ES. Put on the 1st line of the form the gross tax you are to pay (amount of tax you should pay before you deduct any with- holding tax on civilian salary .or any victory tax withheld)- then I fill out the rest of the form as explained on the form. .

25. Keep all your papers, data, work sheets and your copy of form 1040-ES, you will need them when you make your final 1943 tax return in March 1944.

27. Just a few things more:

There is the “windfall tax,

which applies to the situation where your income for 1942 or 1943, whichever is the lower, ex- ceeds by more than $20,000 your] highest surtax net income for any of the four years 1937, 1938, 1939, or 1940 whichever you may se- lect. You had better hire a law- year.

The new law makes no change in the deferment privilege au- thorized in Section 513 of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Re- lief Act. Forms may be had from parties named in paragraph 26. .

JOINT RETURNS:

(1) If only the husband has taxable income, he should file a separate return and take the en- tire. married exemption of $1,200 unless—

CThe wife has losses or -is en- titled to other deductions of | which the couple wish to take a tax • advantage; in that event a joifit return is indicated;" •’*

(3) ’ If the wife' works (or has! taxable income from other sour- ce?) and husband does not have ariy taxable income (for exam- ple, if his military income is less than $1,500 and he does riot have any other income) she should file a separate return and take the entire married exemption of $1200, unless—

(4) The husband has losses or is entitled to other deductions ofj which the couple wish to take a tax advantage. (Note that only the spouse who actually supports the children can take the credit for them as dependents.) Thus| in; (4) a joint return would be [preferable. You should remem- ber that the ' law provides that where a joint return is filed, the liability of each spouse is joint and several; that is, the wife as well as the husband is person- ally liable for the whole amount.

If the wife works at a civili- an job, so that she is subject to the withholding tax, she has al- ready^had to file an election as to- how she would take the mar- ried exemption, so far as with- holding is concerned, on thi basis of all or .half, or none. That decision is not final, however, so far as her tax liability is con- cerned; it relates only to the amount that will be witheld from her salary. In computing, thej | actual tax liability, the married exemption can be split in any| way the couple desires.

For purposes of the new law, if a joint return is made for either 1942 or 1943 but not for both years, you total up the taxes of husband and wife for the year in which separate returns were made for the purpose of deter- mining the tax for that year. But] if the separate returns' are made] in 4943, any - additional liability by reason of the higher tax in 1942 continues to-be joint and several; the husband and wife moreover, can still file separate returns even though they file a joint Declaration of Estimated Tax.

28. Well, there you. are. Fly at it! I know you want to get the job done before September 15 th.-

29. Grateful acknowledgement is made to Mr. Butler and his force of Collectors of the Colum- bus, Georgia office of Internal Revenue, also to the Infantry | Journal.

Cavalrymen Take IIS Basic Course

The Infantry. School at Fort! Benning, in a class by itself as a school for the development of of- ficers, is also in a class fay it- self as the melting pot of the armed forces of this and other | nations. Officers from numerous armies of the United States have been or are in attendance at its classes, some as observer's and gome as students.

It remained for the ASTP Basic Training Center to uncover, a whole company of cavalrymen now engaged in infantry training. The trainees were sent to the in- fantry and Cavalry ROTC Officer Candidates’ Pool and their 'status calls for 13 weeks of rifle com- pany drill. All are members of the 9th Company, Fifth Basic Regiment. . ...

33rd Engineers Erect Pavilion For 7th Armored

After blazing trails and roads] through some of America’s wild- est wastelands, the 33rd Armored Engineer Battalion of the 7th Ar- mored Division at Fort Benning found the task of erecting a new outdoor dance pavilion for the di- vision service club relatively easy.

The removal of an old wooden platform was necessary before the engineers could begin building the new pavilioA which was com- pleted in time for a gala United Nations Ball held Wednesday, Sept. 1.

Work was started August 12 under the supervision of Maj. Francis B. Eberhardt, assistant di- vision engineer. Warrant Officer Magnus S. Mindrebo, Sergeants W. W. Smith and Miles Cort- wright plus a detail of 12 men from all the engineer companies built a concrete floor 100 feet by 45 feet.

The new smooth-finish dance floor has a protective covering of wax and may be used fop roller- skating, basketball, and outdoor concerts. After each use the floor is resin-coated and washed down to save it from abuse.

Medicos Invest $2,000 in Bonds At Big Rally

A War Bond rally highlighted the regular monthly party of the Medical Detachment, Section I, and before the cash register stopped ringing $2,000. worth of death to the Axis had been tucked away.

The rally marked th,e beginning _ fthe Medical Detachment’s par- ticipation in the Third War Loan Drive. Master Sergeant W. C. Thompson was master of cere- monies, and music was furnished by Sgt. Natale Pintello, his ac- cordian and his orchestra.

Technical Sergeant Seth Taylor, former professional referee, was the third man in the ring during boxing and wrestling matches be- tween Station Hospital No. 1 and Station Hospital No. 2. Master Sergeant W. C. Cullifer wds in charge- of refreshments during the evening’s entertainment.

Men of the Medical Detachment were urged to make this War Bond drive the best in the history of the detachment by Major J. ” Joyner, commanding.

William A. Sackel, Jr., six foot, ten inch private managed to get into the army despite his four inch excess of height. On at- tempting to transfer to the air- borne artillery, however, he was re-examined and discharged.

Never take it for granted that a weapon is not loaded; inspect it yourself.

Some day we will all be “push- ing up daisies.” Wha^ are you pushing up meanwhile?

Officer Fires ' Expert Seventh Straight Time

It. James J. Dwyer of the 3rd company, Basic Training Regiment, ^fired Y1 expert’ .for the seventh consecutive time during range firing by the 1st battalion of his regiment last week. He scored 180 out of a possible 210. His first expert shooting occurred at Schofield^ Barracks in 1934.

High score for the regiment was made by Cpl. John J.

. Amato, also of the 3rd com- * pany who racked up 196 hits. ,

7th Armored In Radio Debut

With the ruffle of drums and the wail of sirerts the Seventh Ar- , mored Division made its air debut I to Columbus and vicinity last week in a half hour radio show over WRBL and WGPC from Service Club No. 2 in the Sand Hill area.

Highlighting the broadcast was an official welcome to Fort Ben- ning from Post Commander Brig. Gen. Fulton, given by Col. John P. Edgerley, executive officer, and the reply by the “Lucky 7th’s” own commander, Maj/ Gen. Lind- say McDonald Silvester.

Gen. Silvester thanked both thel populace of. Columbus and Post authorities for their aid and cooperation in making the “7th” feel at home. He particuk pressed his thanks Ho. tl roads for their “all-out” coopera- tion with the . Army in moving men an dmaterial. He also noted appreciation of the work of Mrs. Winifred Baker and Miss Clark, Service club .hostess and librarian respectively.

Under the direction of Staff Sergeant Charles £asquale, the 31st Armored Regiment band pro- vided a melodic background for the broadcast. Staff Sergeant Carl Neu and Sergeant Bill Cope an- nounced the program.

The program opened with the band playing a medley of two ori- ginal marches, “The Tankers’ Song” and “Song of the 31st,” After an original arrangement of “Shantytown” and the speeches, Cpl. Chris Woessner of Division Service Company stepped to the mike to sing “Let’s Get Lost.” The 31st’s “Men of ‘Steel’” then closed the show with “Kansas City Mood” fading into their theme.

At Camp Lejeune, N. C.. a ma- rine band of female personnel has been formed, thereby releasing men for combat duty.

Parachute Paragraphs

By PVT. FOUNTAIN MEADOWS |ly colored pack ’chutes which are

THE PARACHUTE SCHOOL I located on the fringe of the Post! overlooking' Lawson Field what might be called, Parachute Point, is sort of a far-away place j to people on the Post. Nothing can be done about the geography of the situation but through this] column an attempt will be made to ter the rest of the Post some- thing about what goes on out Parachute Point. Perhaps in this way many of the wrong ideas and theories about parachutes and the men who man them can cleared up. Hope so.

PARACHUTE JUMPING is, of course, the primary reason for the existence of the school. In four weeks of training the jumping] aspirant is taught how to success- fully throw himself out of an air- plane andi land without injury. Almost anyone can, in some man- ner, fall out of a plane — it is an- other thing to land so that you ' ill be of some use against the enemy. Jump training is divided ihto four stages, a Stage” which is essentially physical training and the primary instruction need- ed in jumping. “B Stage,” where you learn how to land and make) correct exits from simulated or “dummy” planes. “C Stag e,” jumping from those ominous tow- ers which are so definite a part of the Benning skyline, and “D Stage,” which is actually jumping out of a moving plane— five times to qualify as a Parachutist. The last three stages also include packing the ’chute, the days being divided between jump training and packing. All of the actual instruction in the school is done by enlisted men, working, of course, under the direction of | commissioned personnel.

IN ADDITION to the Jump Sec- tion of the school there are also Specialists chools where picked qualified jumpers are taught such | things as Demolition, -Camouflage, Parachute Rigging and Repair and Communication work. .

So that the new-s reported here will be more understandable I have briefly (?) reviewed the workings of the school.

Back Stage: When dignitaries

such as the Brazilian Minister of War, General Dutra, visit the school, every effort, naturally,* is made' to present him with as graphic and true a picture of the actual goings-on out here as pos- sible. This is no mean task con- sidering the short time such per- sonalities can allot for a visit. General Dutra toured the school, going through all the stages and witnessing mass jumps down at Lawson Field. All of the Spe- cialist Schools set up displays along his route so that he might gather some idea of the scope and use of their various skills. The Demolition Section skillfully rout- ed an imaginary enemy. Camou- flage was used liberally along the [route, artfully concealing well- armed snipers in trees and fox- holes. The Communications Sec- tion released carrier pigeons and demonstrated other items in their | well-filled larder of communica- tions-means. The Rigging Sec- tion had all their types of per- sonnel and cargo ’chutes out on display, these including the vivid-

used to label specific types of equipment. It was quite a show and we all hope that our efforts succeeded in creating the proper image of us and our jobs mind of the general. Still, the one thing that seemed to be need- ed to make the picture complete was Xavier Cugat and his orches- tra at the bottom of the hill play- ing “Brazil.” Oh well, you can’t have everything.

“HOW DOES IT FEEL TO JUMP OUT OF. AN AIRPLANE’ is the question most often ask- ed of those booted and winged articles when they are out with the people. From time to time, to ease the burden on the public mind there will be laid out for| all and sundry to view, the inner- most thoughts of some of the gen- tlemen of our group. Herewith presented are the uttermost emo- tions of some of the nobility, so to speak, of the school:

Sgt. Thomas (Malfunction) Kerr, Instructor in “C Stage” (The Towers, remember?) “Wham!”

Sgt. J. R. Nowell, Instructor in “B” Stage. “There just aren’t any words to describe it. It’s lik£ no other sensation in life.”

Sgt. Elmer Hiller, Instructor in ‘C tage.” When I hear the coke bottle click on the counter of the P. X. I open my eyes.”

Sgt. A. J. (Wolf) Rogo, Jump- master in- “D tage”: “The voice] of Lf. Wallau over the P. A. sys- tem commanding ‘Check your! feet, Rogo,’ always wakes me up up about 200 feet from the ground.”

Sgt. G. L. Nesmith, Jumpmaster

“D Stage”: “Those same but- terflies I thought were reserved for the kick-off when the old Kansas Jayhawks would be out there battling for blood suddenly are flying around inside of me again.”

These are the feelings of the older and mellower type of jump- er. We’ll try to vary this as we go along and give you a panorama of reaction to this exceptional ac- tivity.

There are a lot of interesting and unusual people and events in the school. If we have time while muscularly engaged in that sharpest of all stages, ladies and gentlemen, we give you “A Stage,” we intend to tell all about everybody and everything that will give nothing but acute discomfort and disease to the harrassed minds of those war- prolongers and on-the-way-out- ers— Herr Adolph and Hon. Tojo.

With Civilians

By MYRTLE M. JOINES

Who gets the prize? Hazel Reed, librarian of Service Club No. 5, colored, who operates the Bookmobile to the Third Student Training Regiment or Company “C,” Service Battalion of the 'Third Student Training Regiment for having 100 per cent registra- tion for books , or First Sgt. Jos- eph E. Edwards, for his co-opera- tion with Mrs. Reed in getting the books to his boys?

Marion Larsen, formerly of thej Machine Record Unit has been welcomed to the staff of the Post; Ordnance Office.

■* * *

High praise goes to the swell group of Civilians employed on the post for their wholehearted co-operation with the War Bond officers in their recent street dance. These girls did a job that cannot be too highly compliment- ed. In passing would like to comment that the girls employed at Benning have made a higher showing in actual bohd sales than stage or screen stars who have appeared on- the post from time to time, in these campaigns.

Marie Lemon, formerly with the Infantry School and then with the Parachuje School, has transferred back to the Infantry School and is in the Second Student Training Area.

Sibyl C. Kent, . Post Engineer’s office, has just been advised by the War Department that they are in receipt of unofficial advise that her husband, 1st. Lieut. Frank J. Kent, a paratrooper, is an Italian prisoner of war; As bad as being a prisoner is there are other things worse, and we extend to Sibyl our congratulations on his safety and our sympathy on his | capture. ^

Lucille Jones— Miss Information at post headquarters — had a sur- prise on her arrival at her home] in Covington to visit her par- ents. Her brother -was home] from the Army on leave, and sis- ter, whom she had not seen for) some time, was also with the ] family for the get-together.

Estelle Patrick Burns had a [fly-by-night trip to Augusta to I attend her cousin’s wedding in which she was matron of honor. Estelle left Columbus Thursday night, arrived in Augusta at 4 a. m., and then arrived in Col- umbus Saturday morning ready for work at 8:30 a. m. EWT. Some trip! „ * *

Brazil Officer Gives infantry School March

'Pelo Brazil, Pcla -f Vitoria' Welcomes ^ General Eurico Dutra

Capt. Caio deLemos, student of music now serving the Brazilian army as an observer at The In- fantry School, has been greatly im- pressed by the good neighborly feeling between his country and the United States. Sometime after

to hear it played by a military band. „

The band of the 176th Regiment; conducted by Warrant Officer Paul F. Calloway was given the assignment of playing the march for the first tihie. It did so from the bandstand in the center of the 176th’s Cuartel in the presence of Capt. deLemos, other Brazilian Army officers, .and officers of the 176th including Col. Edwin Cox, commanding.

Captain deLemos was pleased with the rendition by the 176th’s band, and those who heard it thought highly of the march. The Brazilian then presented the march to The Infantry School and it as accepted.

The' ahti-climax to this story occurred, during the recent visit to Fort Benning of Maj. Gen.

Eurico Gaspar Dutra, Brazilian

the contingent of Brazilian Army[Ministerof War, and his pary.

[The 176th band and a guard of honor from that regiment, whs

officers arrived a For Benning to study the methods of war as taught at The Infantry School, the Cap- tain began composing a march. He called it “Pelo Brasil, Pela Vic- toria.’

Info it he wove, what music critics would describe, as a depth of feeling, deeper even than that usually aroused by a military air. When it was finished, he wanted]

church wedding with all the trim- mings. Lt. and Mrs. Brundidge will be at home to their friends in Augusta, Ga., where the lieuten- ant is stationed with the 10 th armored division.

Lessons We've Learned j Since Pearl Harbor

I 1: Our enemies — Japs and Fascists — are not

’ supermen. They are damned good offensive fighters but like all men who are taught to die for their country, they aren’t as strong as demo- cratic men who are taught to die for their coun- try, they aren’t as strong as democratic men who have something to live lor.

.2: The Italian is just as ready to fight as the German.

S: Our equipment is the world’s sweetest.

4: Our training is good, and most guys in combat wish they’d paid more attention to it.

5: You can’t win without ait support, but air. power ig indecisive without infantry and artillery. There is no substitute for artillery preparation and infantry occupation.

6: Lone Ranger tactics in lighter planes are magazine stuff; planes fight most effectively in squadrons, not solo.

.7: Water is always scarce; a fighting man must condition liis body to much less water.

8: It is a fatal error to shoot unless you have something to shoot at and destroy; you just give away your position.

■ &: Our soldiers work^best when they know not just what to do but why they are doing it. -

10: The best way to help a wounded man is not to stop and give him first aid but to press forward and cover the medics, who are equipped to give expert help.

rAl: The proper way to move forward .is still either bent over or crawling. The man who runs standing up is a dead duck.

;12: Tank destroyers should be used like artillery, not like tanks.

13: Jap and German units don’t function too well after their officers have been liquidated.

,14: K and D rations are better than Spam, and„there is no substitute for the sugar report.

Soldier Scores Pay Day Drinking Habit

Habits are characteristic items of behavior. This foregoing statement simply means, the little things you 'do or say, the result of your think- ing, whether favorable or unfavorable, are mere- ly the repetition of things said or done. These things have heretofore been practised so often proportionately that they definitely become part of one's character. (Keep in mind your charac- ter is what you really are, not what others may think of you, which is ninety-nine times out of every hundred based on prejudices of some kina.)

Habits may be natural or acquired. Natural habits are those which we possess without any o’- very little effort on our parts. They are the habits provided us by Mother Nature, chiefly as protection. A concrete example is the winking of the eyelid when the eye is seemingly in danger. Natural habits are really inseparable parts of our physical beings. (Mind you, I am not going so far as to say, they are inherited for that is a matter on which authorities throw little or no niaht). The other habits are those that -are ac- ouired They are the ones which you, through some effort on your part whose stimulus might

Good post-war plans won’t come from peo- ple reading pre-war lives.

We can’t help the past. But we don’t have to repeat it.

It’s because we’ve cut so many corners that we’ve got things out of shape. The cure? Go straight. Keep on the square.

There are: patriotic Americans — out for their country; selfish Americans — out for themselves; scheming Americans— out for control; and apa- thetic Americans— out of the picture.

If we rest on our laurels we may soon be resting under them.

Intellectuals, these days, are trying to think us into right living. But they’ve got' it the wrong way around. We will have to live ourselves into right thinking.

People, like boats, toot loudest when they're in a fog.

There is close relationship between hard work, a light heart and a clear head.

They say “you can’t change human nature.” That’s the- grandfather of all fallacies— the stand- by of standpatters— the alibi of backsliders— the foundation stone of the “isms.”

SO ix>TI$ Instructors Moke * Excellent Students In Course

Farmer Pedagogues Know Teaching's Tough And Give Prof A Break

Anv class of students ’ which includes a large proportion <?f former teachers might be expected to look upon the efforts of their instructors with a somewhat jaundiced eye.

That is not true so far as the . Officers Advanced Class in the loth Co., 1st S. T. R. No. 32 is con-; ceroed, according to its tactical; officers. Far from displaying boredom or a critical attitude thj£ group, which includes about fifty former • officers of The In- igntry School, has been making - reputation for itself for its spirit Of enthusiasm, co-operativeness and friendiiness toward the man on the platform. „ ;

But Captain William E. Hux- ford. tactical company command- er. has his fingers crossed.

"“They are still only in their c|xth week," he points out. ‘‘And # Tm afraid if they hear they have g reputation for being “good boys” thev'll do something to change it. After all, they are only human.

"But." confidentially, they are one"of the best behaved classes we've ever seen here. I guess everybody knows that officer classes, especially those taking; the" advanced course, are inclined to be a bit blase. That was es- pecially true when advanced groups had a preponderance of - majors and lieutenant colonels, who regarded some of the ma- terial taught as a bit too funda- mental.

interest keen

“We could argue with them ‘ about that fundamental part, but at any rate, the Advanced Class in the 18th Co. has been showing keen interest in the instruction all along the line. That is due to some extent, I believe, to- the fact that so many former instructors are in the class. They, of course know the difficulties under which the instructor and demonstration troops operate,' and their attitude is To ‘give the guy a break' ”.

Of the fifty former school offi- cers in the class, fifteen were in- , structors in the Academic Depart- ment of the School, 33 were in the Student Training Brigade, ISSC. and six came from the ] 24th Infantry, a school troops regi- ment.

<1 “But the rank picture ____ w changed too," the youthful skip- '' per says. .

“Instead of a high saturation of field officers, this class has a big majority of company grade officers. They apparently feel that they have something to learn. There are 108 captains and 54 first lieutenants, against 27 ma- jors, three lieutenant colonels and one full colonel."

NEW FACES SEEN

Captain Huxford thinks s third factor may. account for the ..atti- tude of the class. About five per, cent of the total registration have! never been at The Infantry School | before, and therefore do not have any reason to complain that a lot of the instruction is repetition. This figure includes fifteen offi- cers of the Chemical Warfare

Ex-Private Is Back With 7th.

As Lieutenant

Once in a while the flood tides] of life yield a break, And now Lt. P. J. Glazer, assigned to the 489th Armored Field Artillery Battal- ion, believes he has had one. Any- way he came back, after officer's training to the 7th Armored Di- vision wheer he received his basic] training.

When Pvt. Glazer was attached to the 40th Armored Regiment here he applied to the examining j board for admittance to an Offi- cer’s training school. He answered the routine questions, gave the re- quired answers. He preferred to return to the 7th Armored Divis-1

n and to the Field Artillery.

It was while on leave that Pvt. Glazer had a telegram stating that he had been accepted by Officer’s Candidate School. He was enroll- ed at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma.

On Tuesday, January 6, 1942, Lt. Glazer received the congratu- lations of Maj. Gen. Lindsay McD. Silvester, Commanding Officer and took his place as an officer with Battery C, of the 489th Arm- ored Field Artillery.

He is the son of Mr. and Mrs.

46 States Adopt Maternity Aid Plan Far Soldiers' Wives

With receipt of Pennsylvania’s acceptance, 46 states of the union have signified willingness to co- operate with the federal govern- ment in its plan to provide ma- ternity aid for wives of service- ment, according to a United Press dispatch. The essential points of the Government's plan is publish- ed herewith for the information and guidance of troops stationed at Fort Benning.

Under the program, the wife of any servimeman in the four lowest grades— those earning up to $78 a month— can obtain free pre-natal, maternity and post-natal care. She is free to choose her physician. The federal government will pay doctors a fixed fee, ranging from $35 to $50, and hospitals the actual cost of patient care. The state must pay all administrative costs.

Service and a half dozen from the Airborne Infantry.

The Captain’s opinion is con- firmed by reports from the Aca- demic Department itself. The class has been complimented sev- eral times by its instructors. And a former tactical company com-i mander. now a member of the1 class, says the group compares favorably with any class he has seen.

“They handle themselves well in the classroom, seem to follow the instructional pattern well, and don’t fight the problem. They fall in more promptly, behave well in ranks and keep horseplay to a minimum."

which Captain Huxford adds: “They have a good academic rating too. If they hold to their present line, I predict an un- usually low number of losses due to academic failures."

Benning Major Sates Child From Whirlpool

The story of how a major at] Fort Benning dove fully clad into ] a treacherous whirlpool in the Up- atoi creek to save the life of three and a half year old boy came to light today— but not from the modest major.

He’s Major William W. Chop- pin, commanding officer of the 53rd Sub Depot at Lawson Field, and the rescued lad is Roger Lee, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer C. Dodds, Baker Village.’ Mr. Dodds is foreman, in the sheet metal department at La’ [Field..

Mr. and Mrs. Dodds and other couple and their children were visiting at the Choppin home which is on Upatoi creek near Eelbeck when they heard the chil- dren screaming. Rushing down the„i steep bank, they found that little . Roger Lee had been swept downstream. Major Choppin had run to the bank by a different route and was just in time to see the lad bobbing about in a whirl- pool in a deep part of the creek. He dived in and pulled the boy to shore.

None the worse for his experi- ence, the boy, who is too young to realize how dangerous his pre- dicament was, said, “It was fun but the water got in my eyes."

Veteran Sergeant, World War I. Hero, Dies at Benning

Master Sgt. William Stratton, U. S. army, retired, died at Station! hospital, Fort Benning, Mon-1 day after an illness of only three days, although he had been in declining health for the past two years.

Sergeant Stratton resided with his wife, Mrs. Louis Stratton, on Forrest road, where they had made their home for the past 18 years. He was 61 years old, and was born at Louisville, France, August 30, 1882, when he.

lived until the age of 12, when he sailed with his parents for Amer- ica.

They made their home in Washington, D. C,

Sergeant Stratton was with the Sixth engineers when that organ- ization was attached to the Fifth British army in March, 1918, and served with honor and courage i as is testified to by a citation for bravery and the receipt of the Purple Heart medal.

Besides his widow, he is sur- ’ived by a son, Winston Stratton, of Washington, D. C.; a daughter, Mrs. Will Waldecker, of Washing- ton, D. C.; two sisters, Mrs. W. F. Malboeuf. New Haven, Conn., and Mrs. Rose Vidou, WestHav- 3, Conn.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday morning at the post chapel at 11 o’clock, EWT, with Chaplain T. G. Proctor, Jr., offi- ciating. Interment will follow in the post cemetery. Full military honors and Masonic rites will be accorded.

Pallbearers will be selected from members of the company in which Sergeant Stratton served. The body will remain at Oak- lawn chapel until time for the services. The family requested that flowers be omitted.

Fifth Reg't Wives Give Bridge, Lynch

The ladies of the 5th Regiment, ASTP, were hosts at their second luncheon and bridge party enter- taining at the Sand Hill Officers club. Mrs. Lionel Ball and ladies of the First Battalion were in charge of the party.

At the July meeting the ladies of the regiment decided to meet once a week at the Red Cross room to make surgical dressings. Five of these meetings have been held] and 150 hours of work done, the Second Battalion ladies leading in the number of hours. For un- usual accomplishments, the regi- mental commander’s wife pinned medals on four ladies — Mrs. John Kaine, Mrs. E. W. Philips, Mrs. M. F. Weller and Mrs. Paul Taylor. They Have all been present at least five times with a minimum of one hour each day. PN medals represented “5” for Fifth ■ Regi- ment and although they have no intrinsic value are badges of ac- complishment. Each medal is hung from a red, white and • blue ribbon tied with a double knot] through which is slipped a small wooden bar suggesting a tourni- quet.

The guest of the day was Mrs. Wilson McK Spann, wife’ of Col- onel Spann, commanding officer of the ASTP basic center.

Next month the party will be sponsored by Mrs. Edwin J. Nowicki and ladies of the Fourth ! Battalion.

Dance For Officers Slated for Cherokee Lodge September 17

A dance for all officers _at Fort Benning will be held at Cherokee Lodge' Friday September 17, be- tween 9 and 12 p. m. EWT under the auspices of the Columbus Of- ficer Entertainment Committee. The committee will invite 200 local ] girls to the dance, and the 124th Infantry Band will furnish the music. A small fee will be charged. All officer personnel at Benning is invited to attend. '

Cooling Lemonade Proves Booby Trap

It was almost 4 p. m. With sweating hands and bared bay onets, some 180-odd student of- ficers gingerly probed for hidden mines. Occasionally there was the I faint clink of metal striking metal and trembling fingers slipped. into, the sand, searching for a sus-. pected booby trap. Suddenly— I everything .stopped for tea.

Only it wasn’t tea, but lemon- ade, and the 17th Company ot the 1st Student - Training Regi- ment, The Infantry- School, threw caution to the wind as the de- hydrated officers started to gulp1 lemonade with never a thought that the booby trap for which they had so carefully searched could have no better habitat than the cool and welcome drink. Not only the chow-hound who reached for the first cup, but the entire riasc as well, was nearly knocked over by the resounding blast- that followed, his incautious act.

And only minutes before, this same group of officers had timidly suggested to the instructor that ne replace the safety pin in a harm- less booby trap before they moved out of the bleachers for the hour- ly break and the lemonade— which at the time no one -even suspected.

Nevertheless, the lemonade must have had a soothing effect on the jangled nerves which are natural hangovers after playing with the diabolical traps. When the 17th cleared , a mined area; the potential Battalion CO’s and Staff Off exploded- only- two of1 the boobies, coming within -a breath of equaling the previous record of “No Casualties” set by one of the Officer Candidate classes.

Sgt. J. D. Hissong Warrant Officer

Staff Sergeant John D. Hissong, parachute repair specialist of the First Academic Company of the Parachute School, Fort Benning, has been appointed warrant offi- junior -grade, in the Army of the United States.

His new assignment is with the Service Company of the 541st Par- achute Infantry at Fort Benning, where he will supervise the repair and maintenance of parachutes.

Mr. Hissong is 25 years old and entered the Army in March, 1941. His sister, Mrs. R. G. Knott, lives at 623 Brighton Street, Toledo, Ohio.

In consequence of the success in recruiting men of Japanese descent for the Army the WAC| has decided to accept women of like ancestry. .

Enlisted Men Big Factor In Saber Eleven

300th Will Count Heavily On E. M.

For Strong Team

Scattered quite libe rally through the ranks of the 300th Infantry football squad are of- ficers, who, particularly during [their college days, made quite a name for themselves on the grid-

Since none has beeii away from a college gridiron too long, it’s natural to presume all will carry on in the army as during college days.

But there is ' one item which can’t be overlooked. The num- ber of officers who can be on the field at one time is limited.

BIG FACTOR

That’s where the enlisted man comes in. How well he domes in quite likely will determine the strength of the 300th Sabers this season.

The enlisted men who stand a good chance of rating the first team haven’t the well-publicized background but a few facts have turned up about several of them. GEORGETOWN ACE

The most experienced of thej M. is Sgt. Dean Robinson who has been kicking around various gridirons for 10 years. After four years at Millersburg (Ohio) high, he played four years with George- town college and then followed up with a two-year stint with the professional Columbus, Ohio, Bulldogs. Robinson is an end.

Vic Richardson has had one year’s experience with the 124th here on the post, not to mention four full years with the Talla- jhassee, Fla.,- high eleven.

Another toured enlisted man is Blaine Sterner, a 195-pound guard.

THREE GOOD BACKS

Three more who have looked good in early scrimmages in- jclude John Simcox, Henry Waller and Anthony Encher, all backfield men. Simcox played a year with Long Beach, Calif., junior college; Waller has had a year with the Scranton, Pa., semi-pro’ Blue Devils, and Encher put in. four years with the LaSalle high eleven of Chicago.

Sgt. Eason has a year’s credit with the Fort Benning post team and • Sgt. Oliver Knoll played four years at fuljhack for the Lacrosse State Teachers college.

Undoubtedly there are others who will come to the fore as the team rounds into shape. As a

111 Seventh Armored Men In AS! Work

Taking advantage cf Uncle Sam’s offer to further their edu-j cation, 114 enlisted men’ of the “Lucky 7th” Armored Division I are “burning the midnight oil” ini the nation’s leading, colleges to-j day.

Every organization of Majj' Gen. Lindsay McDonald’s fighting 7th is represented in the Army Spe- cialized Training Program to train men for specific, army needs. Po- tential engineers, linguists, psy- chologists, etc., are rounding out their educations in order to do their part in bringing the war to a speedy close. For this program is part of the army’s credo that intelligence, courage and thorough training are going to win.

Former members of the “Luck

h” are now attending college on Detached Service in schools rang- ing from Texas Tech to Boston U.

But before these men march

back to school, a thorough screen- ing i« made as the first step in [picking qualified students. Next Field Selection Boards interview [applicants, make recommenda- tions, and send enlisted men’s Personal l?ata Forms to the Serv- ice Command concerned.

A careful survey of all Personal Data Forms is underway now in this division in order to- send as many more men as possible to school. Some of these, due to their requirements will be or- dered to (STAR) Specialized Training and Reassignment Units. Others will be sent to a basic course.

DAVIS INJURED

Deathly silence reigned after an off tackle slant, when ‘'Racehorse Davis failed to get up. Relief fol- lowed after though as news reached the squad that he had just pulled a muscle and Was being subjected to heat treatments. This curbed the splendid work the last Gator back has been doing lately. He has not only taught the other backs the correct way, but his play has demonstrated his teachings.

The line continues to stay- ahead of the backfield and during the scrimmage Friday, Mike Au- lenti had the honor of drawing the first claret. Mike, Green Howard and Boij Fitzgerald are giving the Gators a stonewall, in the center of the line with their stalwart guard play.

GREEN IMPROVES

Most improved tackle seen this - week was big Bill Green. The i big man, who is the closest con- j tender of Jack McKewen for the largest man on the squad, has bet- tered his play to the extent that he is well in the limelight for a cov- eted starting position.

The new Gatprs have been taken on. A back and an end from the University of Indiana have, been assigned to the regi- 1 ment and have reported for foot- ball practice. Bob White, the back, and Johnny Nash, an end, played with Indiana for the past three years. Their addition is ex- pected to help out whpre the Gators have appeared weakest so far.

SABER LINKS ACE— When the 300th Infantry sent out a call for golfers to make up the regimental golf team it unearthed a sensation in the person of Jim Buckley.

A par golfer by habit, Buckley is self-developed with some aid from canny Jack MacDonald, Scottish pro. Buck was intercollegiate champ at Illinois College and during his recent furlough surprised the gang a£ the local club by. establishing a new course record of 69.

In . his few appearances to date on the Fort Benning Jinks Buckley has lived up to his reputation, playing the course either at par or close to it.

An unassuming soldier, Buck isn’t impressed by his own prowess. He plays the game because lie likes it, and if he happens to play it well that’s a matter of -secondary im- portance to him. (Signal Lab Photo by Sgt. Don Korte- tneier.) ... »

Fro mthe standpoint of contests won, the average by-stander cer- tainly would not say ours has been a ‘successful year for the scores have failed to favor the Panthers on many occasions. On the other hand, when the situa- tion is viewed and the morale ef- fect, sportsmanship, and other in- evitabl but intangible benefits takhe into account, this has been an outstanding year in the de- velopment of this organization. PANTHER MENTORS . . • • . .

Much credit for the success the Panther program must be giv- en -to Lieutenant Jack Gushin. It was he who presented the idea of I such a program to Colonel Rob- ert H. Lord, Regimental Comman- der, and Major Francis J. Fish- burne, the Service Battalion Com- mander. , . .

The support and cooperation of Master Sergeant Samuel Sellers was also an important factor in the inauguration of such a pro- gram and his many years of ex- perience in he field of athletics

has proved invaluable. PHILLIPSON ACE

Synonymous with the mention of Panther football, basketball and baseball is the name of Frankie Phillipson, former Brooklyn school boy star. Much credit is due Phil- lipson for his outstanding display of athletic ability and sportsman- ship. There is also Henry (Hank)- Blackburn of Chicago who attend- ed and played flashy basketball for Xavier University, New Or- leans, La.

James Griffin, who hails from Stamford, Conn., has shown abil- ity as a clever basketball anaj baseball star and is out this sea- son to show what he can do as a grid team member. Eddie Jack- son, former Golden Glover and pro heavyweight, is deserving of a great deal of praise for his tire- less efforts with the leather throw- ers of the battalion and it is ex- pected that a great deal more will be heard from these fighters dur- ing the next few months.-

EUSS POOL EAVE — The lads down a.t Russ Pool, which pro- vides the scenic background for our pin-up shots, came forward last week with their own selection of a swim queen for pin-up honors. Heeding their advice, we photographed her on a chance and here’s the result! Right nifty, we’d say. . Her name is Virginia Gold and she hails from out Chicago way. - Hubby is an officer candidate named Howard Gold, who you might remember gained the title of “Mr. Chicago’ in 1941 for his male form. We bash- fully suggest that Mr. Chicago’s missus ought to rate some kind of a title for similar reasons. We can’t tell you much about Vir- ginia, because she appeared for the- photo, then disappeared right away, and we haven't been able to find her since. But the pic speaks for itself. We’re sure you’ll pay most attention to the swim suit with its modernistic motif, but just in case you’re interested in the wearer, we’ll tell you shes slim, petite, olive-skinned and dark-haired. A glistening beauty, no less, and now let the pic- ture speak for itself. (Signal Lab Photo by Sgt. Don Kortemeier.;

Sergeant Trott Saw Service In Russia,

Chine, Phillipines

Ranking first sergeant of .the Academic Regiment — under the sergeant-major— is Eles J. Trott, first sarge of E~ Company, who has almost completed 27 years of ser- vice since he enlisted at the age of 15 in 1917. His unofficial but perhaps even better-known title is “Bowling King of Fort Ben- ning.”

Trott came into the army from Knoxville. Tenn., and saw quite a bit of Ohio, Texas, Massachus- etts, and Minnesota before he sail- ed with the 27tlPInfantry to Vlad- ivostock in 1918, to serve 17 months in Siberia. He learned how to speak Russian and traveled as far inland as Amsk on the Trans-Siberian Railroad. Most exciting part of his stay in Russia, however, was his eyewitnessing of several clashes between the White Czarist troops and the Red army. BALL ON CORREGIDOR In 1920 Trott’s outfit started

peace-time name of the Academic] Regiment, where, he made All- Army tackle while playing for the I. S. D. football eleven^ However, one look at the trophy case in the main barracks will suffice to prove that Sgt. Trott’s great fame as an athlete rests mainly on his bowling activities. It was Trott, as a matter of fact, who helped design the Post Bowl- ing Alley, of which he was once the manager. He captained the I. S. D. team for ten years, during which time the team won eight out of ten championships and fin- ished second the other two years POST BOWLING ACE

In addition, he was a member of the post bowling squad and

Lohr ahead of him, and the crowd j /ent wild. , j

Up until that terrific blew of the Spirit shortstop, the TPS nine had the game won on the basis of a single run scored in the sev- enth frame. Pete Bardin, hurling for the chutists, had the Spirits well in tow, and it looked as if the paratroopers were just about “in” as second-half post champs

But Ramazotti, a splendid com- 1 petitor, changed the entire out- icome of the game and possibly the | series with his drive. After Bardin had retired one batter at the| start of the fatal frame, Lohr! managed to work the TPS hurl- er for a walk. Then on a one- and-one count, Bardin tossed high curve to the ever-dangerous Ramazotti and the “Ram” poked It out of the park to put the Spir- its right back in the series.

Had it not been for Lefty Wiss- man’s steady mound work, how- ever, the chutists would have sewed up the game long before. The crafty southpaw gave up six hits over the nine-inning route but was stingy in lthe pinches. He struck out 11 ’ paratroopers and kept them under control except in the seventh.

In that frame, Frank Mancuso, brother of National-leaguer Gus,| opened with a Texas league double down the rightfield foul line and advanced to third oi infield out. He then scored Dale Porterfield’s timely • single to give the TPS nine, a temporary lead.

Wissman was superb the rest of the way as he hung up his second win of the series. The great south- paw has now accounted for both] Spirit wins, and undoubtedly will be in the bullpen tonight for (emergency service in case Cooper falters.

For Bardin, . the defeat was i heartbreaker. The splendid right- hander pitched his second full game in four days, coming back with only a two-day rest after beating the Spirits Saturday night by & 5-io-4 count.

While he was at Fort Crooke, Neb., during 1921, he was catcher on a baseball team that, won 52 out of 55 games!

ALL-ARMY TACKLE

He arrived at Fort Benmng in 1925 to find a home in the. I. S. D.,

A student officer in the 12th .Company of the 1st Student Train- ing Regiment, The, Infantry School, found the following story in a rare and questionable edition of] the late Rudyard Kipling’s “Just So Stories’ in the Fort Benning Library: »•

“Once upon a time, Dearly Be- loved, there lived in a place called Norton Field twelve swinging dum- mies who were the happiest swing- ing dummies in the world. Their, faces were lit up with a broad smile, and they always said a very polity ‘How do you do’ to all soldiers who passed by,

|,‘One day, there came along lh<* Master of the Bayonet. He looked] ferocious and talked ferocious and viciously stuck bayonets into the dummies, and' swore at them, and the dummies began to lose their happy smiles.

“Now, just about' the same time, .there lived all over the shores of the big American Ocean 84 French- men who got an inspiration. They built a raft made of bayonets, large ones and small ones, inter- lacing them and loading them with B.A.R.’s (Dearly Beloved, you must not ask how they man- aged to interlace zayonets; this is an awfully important —military secret and would give valuable information to the enemy.)

“Anyway, the Frenchmen sailed forth on the big American Ovean, firing the B.A.R.’s as they went along. (Do not ask what B.A.R.’s are, or why they were being fired: Remember about military secrets). UNORTHODOX USE

“By and by, the raft came to . . orton Court, and when the Mas- ter of the Bayonet saw all those bayonets put to such an unortho- dox use, he looked more ferocious and swore louder than evert and the dummies looked . sadder and sadder, and the Master of the Bayonet became hotter and hotter, and pretty soon the ocean began to dry up, and the Frenchmen were stranded on Norton Field, and the Earth itself began to dry up, and became dusty, and the

Double Shift Communications Course Given

Infantry School Expects Big Increase In Enlisted Enrollees

Growing importance of com- munications was e m p h asized again this week when the. Com- munications Section of The In- fantry School announced a two- shift program for the Enlisted Communication Course.

The first class of the day will begin at 5:45 a. m. and conclude • at 12:45 noon. The second ■ class will begin at- 1:45 p. m. and end at 7:35 p. m. .

By November 1, enrollment in the enlisted men’s course is ex- pected to be doubled. A, large number of additions has ;been made to the staff of enlisted as- sistant instructors.

First to feel the effect of the stepped-up: program was the 24th Company of the 1st Student Training Regiment, which has started on a “round the clock” “schedule.” When , re-organization is -complete, the company, com- manded by 1st ' Lieutenant Grant H. Cneiss, will quarter two enlists ed communication classes of about 200 men each. •

The enlisted communication class that, started the early morn- ing shift, on Monday was the guinea pig for the expanded set- up. When they were awakened at 3:30, most of the men decided that they had be£n' put on the “night shift.” , But they derived some consolation from getting up at such an early hour, aside from being able to watch the sun come up over the Georgia hills — they could look forward to an after- noon of “bunk fatigue” plus plenty of time for study.

swinging ' dummies once more be- . gn to smile, and this is why, Dearly Beloved* if you happen to walk past Norton Field on a sun- ny morning, you will find there twelve swinging dummies who will politely take off their caps and say to you ‘How loy ou do.’ ”

Our discoverer has a picture • to show all this — the swinging dummies and the Master of the Bayonets and the Frenchmen and Captain Reid as an angel,. but the • man who prints the paper says

there is ’no room for it in this the^Bayonets went away, and the' issue.

Zeller, the, Battalion Commander, has under way a program that will provide as pleasant an atmosphere as possible for the men while eating their meals.

Housing enlisted motor me- chanics and radio operator stu- dents at The Infantry School, the mess halls of the 4th Battalion serve hundreds of hungry soldiers daily. Plans are now being made to repaint the messes, hang cur- tains in the dining rooms, and get all kitchen personnel into complete, duck-white cook’s uni- forms.

Methods of feeding the men cafeteria-style are constantly be- ing improved. The importance of properly preparing meats and vegetables is being impressed upon the cooks. Minute timing is be- ing employed to assure that food , comes piping hot from the ovens just when meals are to start — not an hour ahead of time. Oven,

Lucky- Division Works To Check Food Waste

From “shaving” spuds to making

croquettes of leftovers, the Seventh Armored Division at Fort Benning is continually waging-war on food waste. No housewife could be as waste-conscious as a Seventh Arm- ored mess sergeant. He is always on the lookout for new kinks

him food combinations which]

please the palate and make use of j odds and ends. By following the motto “A Good Cook Always] Tastes, Never Wastes’-’ Sgt. Tooly earned a citation from Maj. Gen.

waste prevention.

An examination of several halls chosen at random reveals that enlisted men are practicing food conservation to the extent that ap- proximately 99 per cent of the food prepared is eaten. 'Less than one per cent is left on the plates.

Tasty preparation of food and skillful mess management utilize . every bit of food drawn on rations every three days so that the sol- dier enjoys it. Rations must be used as they are drawn regardless] of individual preference in the menu.

Mess Sgt. Joseph Regan of 669 Second Ave., Troy, New York says: “I try and prepare the food so that the men will eat it. . . H they prefer fried to scrambled eggs, I fry ’em. If raw raisins seem unpopular I make raisin cobbler or use them in a salad.” That is Division Hq. Co. mess, but even in the line companies the story is the same.

In Co. “A” of the 77th Armored Medical battalion where S. Sgt. Pete Tooly of Antwerp, N. Y., is mess master, mutton is dressed up] with carrots and parsnips.

Sgt. Tooly has also acquired the habit of putting aside morsels of unused food for a hungry ambul- ance driver or guard just off duty. He is careful about saving scrap grease in the kitchen too. After rendering anw making maximum use of it he turns it over to a civil- ian agency lor line rendering at the rate of six pounds per . day. Other mess sergainiS do likewise.

A former lumber camp and hotel chef, Sgt. Tooly learned his art from a French cook who taught

for the most

efficient mess hall in the Seventh] Armored.

As a further aid to food conser- ] vation, rations are based on the] actual number of men eating each! meal instead of on the morning re-] port of men present for reveile. With some soldiers skipping break- fast or taking lunch out now and then, this saving amounts to ap-. [proximately 46 rations or $26.9f per day in a headquarters com- pany. In line companies the sav- ing is not that great due to the| different type of work engaged] in by the men. But even that amount multiplied by battalion,! regiment, or division makes it! veident that Uncle Sam cannot afford to be indifferent to the problems of mess management. |

Thus stalwart soldiers of thei “Lucky 7th” wage war on the home front while preparing for the fray abroad, among the best fed soldiers in the world.

Life in the Aleutians is no pinkl tea party. For that you can take the word of. Cpl. Paul Simmons, a member of the cadre of the 9th Company, 6th ASTP Basic Train- ing Regiment.

Cpl. Simmons spent eleven months on one of the small islands in the Aleutians and was with the U. S. forces that landed on Kiska Island. The island on which he was stationed for most of the time was bombed four times by Japs. Was he frightened?

“Nope. I figured that with all the territory around for the Japs] to bomb, there really was no rea- son why one should hit me.

“The job up there was tough,” the corporal added, “and cold. We worked from dawn to dusk build- in groads, airfields, buildings anything to keep us busy.”

The best news he received were his orders transferring him to the Infantry School and assignment to the ASTP Basic Training Center. But now that he’s back in the States, he’d like to go to war again,

Officer Installed Post Record System

: Capt. Joseph F. Twohig, com-

manding officer of the Army Post Office at Fort Benning, who gained fame for installing the intricate record system at jthe post has been ordered to a ndwj post at New Or- leans, it was announced today.

A veteran , of !30 years in the] post office in Boston, and also a veteran of World War I, Capt. Twohig worked ; out the system now being widely copied by other Army Post Office units ^vhereby deliveries of 95 per cent of all mail, addressed to soldiers has been ef- fected.

Under this system, every or- ganization on the post is required to send in a card for every active member of that organization. These cards then are kept in a “live”i file and when a man or a unit; moves, the cards are kept on hand in order that the men may be traced when mail continues to come for them.

At a post where turnover of in- dividuals is much greater than in a city of 300,000, this was no mean task to work out. 'Rhe APO.also has the task at Fort. Benning of supplying cards; to members of, organizations that are due ter be sent out, so that they can notify! correspondents of change of ad- dress; trains postal unit organiza- tions for service with forces about to be sent overseas; handles, all investigations; and maintains n

There's always a ' .little envious note about the barracks when & happy soldier takes off on a. lurr lough. But then, there is always the consolation . that furloughs aren't rationed and every G,. t has a card for one, that is almost every G. I. has; that hope. .

There wasn’t any immediate hope for Pvt. Joaquin Carrera' of Co. E, 300th Infantry.' Carrara j was seriously, injured in the. line of duty last June and has been confined to Station • Hospital since. He’s .likely to be there for some time.

His comrades decided to do something about Carrera's bad break, knowing that he had plan-

ned long- on- a furlough to. hjg

home in Texas. They enlisted the aid of Lt. John Y. Burgess, . their , commanding officer . and then ; went- to .work.

Through popular subscriptiwffV they -raised 'enough money to send backvto Tekas - for the expenses involved in bringing the soldier’s mother to Fort Benning. Carrera will, have a ‘ furlough with his mother after all.

fied voters.

Nor would any member of the armed services, under the law, have to pay a poll tax even though that was the law of his

state.

This

the procedure: A

member of the armed forces v'ould write a postcard— provided by the army or navy — to his sec- retary of state, asking for a bal- lot.

The law said the postcards had

to be made available as soon as possible after February 1 in any year in which there was an elec- tion for senators * or representa. tives.

Although 1943 is an off-year for such elections, a couple were scheduled because of vacancies due to death. So the services sent plenty of post-cards abroad Plenty of tnem got ntc hands of men and women , whose states were not holding elections but, having the cards, the service people sent them to astonished secretaries of states, asking for ballots which did not exist in] elections which were not to be held. 1

Now Democratic Senators Green of Rhode Island and Lucas of If linois, authors of the law, hav it. This bill would do several

in congress a new bill to amend things-

Explaining the menu planning, Colonel Riter pointed out that the Office of the Quartermaster Gen- eral prepares a Master Menu, cop- ies of which are furnished each post. A menu planning board at each post compiles menus approxi- mately 70 days in advance, using the Master Menus as a guide. As the post menu boards complete their monthly menus, they are| sent to the Food Service Director here, whose staff checks them for! their conformity with the Master Menu, as far as available supplies are concerned, to see that the rationed .foods come within the point limit, to determine if fresh fruits and vegetables are speci-, fied for use wherever possible— to save canned produce — and that I the nutritional value of each menu is sufficiently high.

The setup of the new organiza- tion continues from the director, Colonel Riter, to food service sup- ervisors in every post, camp and station. Each post supervisor will have his own staff, the size' of which will be determined by the number of men on the post and the corresponding duties required to handle the job.

time., The votes would be micro- filmed and returned as V-mail to the proper secretaries of state. - The new measure also would permit American civilians abroad to vote just as the armed forces with their ballot — obtained from the nearest military commander — sent home as V-mail.
