them at the lowest possible rates,

insurance official explained.

In a plan outlined by Washing-
ton headquarters, every soldier,
whether he be officer or enlisted
man, and regardless of vvheer sta-
tioned, will be required to fill out
a refusal form if he is not carry-
ing the maximum, $10,000, of Na-
tional Service or United States
Government Life Insurance.
Forms will be issued to all units
shortly, and a report of the. re-
sults is to be submitted to the life
insurance officer, post headquar-
ters through channels by June 30.
CASUALTIES INEVITABLE

The War Department recognizes
that certain good reasons exist for
not taking out the -government-
sponsored insurance; their only
wish is that every soldier seri-
ously consider the personal re-
sponsibility of safeguarding his
dependents, and act accordingly,

"Remember," Lt. Inzer added,

GENERAL GROW

General Grow .
Takes Command
Of 6th Armored

Officer Hod Been GO
Of Combat Command A,
10th Armored Division

Brigadier General Robert W.
Grow, commander of Combat
Commany A of the 10th Armored
Division since its activation, left
late Sunday, by plane for Ca.li
fornia to assume command of
the 6th Armored Division
Camp Cooke.

Accompanying General Grow
was his aide, Capt. Donald F.
Forbes. The general was out in
the field directing a combat com-
mand maneuver problem when he
learned of his new assignment.
Col. Kenneth G. Althaus of the
11th Armored Regiment is tem-
porarily in charge of Combat
Command A.

General Grow is a native of
Iowa and a graduate of the Uni-
versity of Minnesota. He was
commissioned in the regular army
from the Minnesota National
Guard in 1916. Although com-
missioned in cavalry, he served
in the , field artillery during
World War I, for several months
as a gunnery instructor at Fort
Sill and later as a battery com-
mander in the 1st Field Artillery
under the then' Col. Jacob L.

After the Armistice he
served in Germany in the 1st
Division. Returning in 1919, he
served in various cavalry reg-
iments and details and graduat-
ed from Leavenworth in 1929 and
from the Army War College in
1936.

BEGAN IN 1930

The General's mechanical ex-
perience began in 1930 when he
became S-3' officer of the mech-
anized force at Fort Eustis. Later
he became executive officer of
the 1st Cavalry, Mechanized, at,
Fort Knox, when his regiment
become the first iron-clad unit of
the old cavalry regiments.

From Fort Knox, General
Grow, then a major, went to
Leavenworth to instruct in. mech-
anization in 1934-35. He then
served , a four-year tour in the
Office of Chief of Cavalry, where
he headed the supply and fiscal
section during the period of de-
velopment of much of the present
Armored Force equipment
\ Following the organization of
the Armored Force, General
Grow, now a lieutenant-colonel,
became G-3 of the 2nd Armored
Division under General Scott
and later, under General Patton.
He left the Second in the fall of
1941 to take command of the
34th Armored Regiment in the
Victory Wivision. He was pro-
moted, to his present grade in
March, 1943, and assigned to the
8th Armored Division upon its
activation. He was transferred
to the 10th Armored Division
when it was formed and assigned
to command Combat Command A.

General Grow is 45 years old.
Mrs. Grow and their two boys, 10
and 15, have been ma^jng their
home at Fort Benning,

in two groups, one from Fort Har-
rison, Indiana,, and another fron
Camp Grant, Illinois, at 2 o*elock.

One 'loner* arrived last night
from Fort Bliss, Texas, and just
before midnight, four more came
in from Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

Eleven more were due to arrive
today from Camp Perry, Ohio.

Thus did the vanguard of 12,
000 young selectees arrive in Fort
Benning. From now on, they will
be coming in increasing numbers
until the three regiments- of the
Basic Training Center are filled,
probably within the next six
weeks.

TO 4TH REGIMENT •''..-

The first arrivals were assign-
ed to the 4th Basic Training1 Regi-
ment which is located in the Har-
mony Church area "in' what -was
once a part of the Second Student
Training Regiment. ' Its barracks
wh,ich are between First and
Eighth Division roads, were occu-
pied for a short time by the 176th
prior to its rtjhoval to the Main
Post.

been given the age ot the selectees
in planning the training program.
Physical conditioning of the se-
lectees will have a large part in
the program.

Col. W; McK. Spann, executive
officer of the Traininf Center,
"clarified the future of the train-
ees to this extent: those who suc-
cessfully complete the 13 weeks
of basic training, will be sent to
_ jlassification college. There they
will be interviewed by . a classi-
fication board consisting of facul-
ty members -of the- college after

which they will be classified and
sent the type of school for which
they are fitted.

Theater No. 8
To Reopen June 15

Scheduled to reopen June 15 at
Fort Benning is Theater No. 8,
which was destroyed by fire-last
winter, according to Major James
C. Sutton, post theater officer. .

Seven hundred new and com-
fortable, permanent chairs will re-
place the wooden benches and
steel folding chairs, formerly used
to accommodate the audience.

All necessary projection equip-
ment is on hand, and the major
explained that it was planned to
make the shift without interrup-
tion of show schedule. At pres-
ent, one of the nearby class-rooms
is used as a temporary theater.

WASH CRISIS
AFFECTS 800
POST FAMILIES

Col. Massey Blames
Labor Shortage; Enlisted
Men Given Priority

Approximately 800 Fort Benning
families who have been depending
on the Quartermaster laundry, for
service have until June 15 to make
other arrangements, Col. Stephen
B. Massey, director of supply at
the post, announced this week.!
The announcement came f ollbw-
g a letter from Fourth Service
Command headquarters in Atlan-
ta which stated , that because of a
manpower and machinery short- "
age no more family work will be
processed in quartermaster laun-
dries and that all work "for offi-
cers . and enlisted men will be
standardized and processed in the
same manner.

The number of family bundles
processed at the post has risen
sharply with each month recently,
according to officers at the laun-
dry. In February, 'almost 3,000
family bundles were received- and
that figure has been exceede'd in
each month since, although exact
figures were not available today.

In order to allow , families time
to make other arrangements, the
order from Atlanta will not be
placed in effect at once, Col. Mas-
sey said, and the 15-day grace pe-
riod has been granted,
ENLISTED MEN FIRST

The . order , -from Atlanta also
stated that when necessary enlist-
ed- men's laundries will be done to
the' exclusion of that of all other
personnel.

The order here comes close upon
the he>ls of changes in laundry
policies in downtown Columbus,
where most firms will not. take
family bundles. Two firms report
that they take men- and women's
clothing in separate bundles and

Forest Ghapel Built
In 3rd Reg't, ^4^'

Soldiers Of All Faiths Worship
In Open-Air Grove Sanctuary

A forest chapel built' by soldiers of all faiths, set in the
natural sanctuary of a wooded grove was dedicated by the
Second battalion- of the Third Student Training regiment at
services conducted there recently by its .chaplain, 1st Lt. Wil-'L
Ham G. Kirschbaum. *

Known as "The-Chapel-in-the-
Grove," the site has art entrance
which is marked, in rustic letters,
with the opening words of Wil-
liam Cullen Bryant's "Forest
Hymn": "The i groves were God'
first temples." Under the ceiling
of boughs and leafy branches, log
benches face an altar which bears
a simple wooden cross.

Plans for the chapel origiftated
with the battalion commander, Lt.
Col. Burnell V. Bryant. Building
and location of the altar and
benches were accomplished by
soldiers of all faiths. A loudspeak-
er system and a field organ com-
plete the equipment in the natural
amphitheater. A musical program
is played every Sunday for a half
hour before the 11 o'clock ser-
ice.

WORSHIP IN RAIN

Increasing attendance at the
chapel was amply demonstrated
on a recent Sunday when ah as-
sembly of- more thap 300 took
look communion in the rain,

which showing prompted the
chaplain to remark that those
rites would probably be only the .
first that officer candidates would
attend under similar adverse con-
ditions in far away lands.

The new chapel already . has
provided the setting for- an .out-
door wedding, the marriage of
Marion R. Laue and Lieut. Nicho-
las J. Thermos of the First Stu-
dent Training Regiment, both
from Hinsdale, 111., having taken
place at a twilight ceremony
May 21.

Leaving the chapel by rough
log steps built into the slope, the
worshippers pass under the bene-
diction of the final words of
"Forest Hymn":
". . . Be it ours to meditate,
In these calm shades, thy

milder majesty,
Arid to the beautiful order of

thy works
Learn to conform the order :-
of onr lives." |r

Lt. Hammond sought out the

proached the soldier and asked
'Do you play the violin?"

"No, Sir," was the prompt .and
somewhat startled reply.

"Well that's strange," was the -
officer's rejoinder. "You certainly :
look as if you did. Here, take this

you go until you stop this mas-

That night one close-clipped

turned the violin. With a smile on

30 Spirits On' Forced
March From Atlanta

Troops To Determine
Speed Rote Effect
On Bottle Fitness

Thirty soldiers of the 176th In-
fantry Regiment at Fort Benning
[eft Atlanta at 8 o'clock this morn-
ing on the first leg of a forced
march which will end in Fort
Benning some time Saturday.

The troops were taken to Atlan-
'jt early this morning and left from
fne intersection of Stewart and
Oecker Aves. NW, following Route
55 toward Columbus.

The purpose of the march over
this 120 mile route is to determine
the- rate of speed at which troops
zzn travel over a long distance and
Etill be able to engage in battle
ivhen they arrive at their destina-
tion. The physical condition 'of
• the men will determine the pace
oi the march.

Stops are made every hour at
which time the' squad remove its
choes. ' Accompanying the squad
as" a P£rt of are two medical
sergeants and a medical corporal

who take care of any necessary
foot treatments.

The first stop of any length was
scheduled for Fayetteville at 2
o'clock where the troops were fed
from a field kitchen. They expect-
ed to bivouac tonight at a spot one
mile north of Haralson around 9
p. m. where the troops will be fed
for chow at 2 o'clock at Woodbury
with bivouac at Pine Mt. Valley.
BACK SATURDAY

On Saturday, the troop will stop
for chow at Ellerslie and expect
reach Columbus late in the af-
ternoon or early evening. The
march will end officially in the
rear of The Infantry School build-
ing where the troops will be met
by the band of the 176th Regiment
which will accompany them to
their barracks.

The men have been undergoing
extensive training for the last sev-
eral days. They have taken long
hikes, one of them a 27 mile af-
fair, some of it cross country. On
these hikes, they carried, in ad-
dition to full packs and personal
weapons, mortars and machine
guns. -However on the march

which began this morning, they
I had only their full packs and per-
sonal weapons.

I The goal of 40 miles per day
i depends entirely on the condition
I of the men. If they are able, they
'will go farther. However it was
I stressed that regardless of the
jtime involved, the men must be
| brought into Fort Benning ready
| to fight if a fight was necessary.

Perhaps your .husband has
been complaining of late how
hot and sticky his silk pa-
jamas feel now that the tem-
perature is rsing. Silk night-
wear is fine fk>r winter, but for
summer nights the most suitable
outfit is macte of lightweight
■ash cotton. The main floor of
MONTGOMERY WARD COM-
PANY is stocked with men's
pajamas, all colors and sizes
ranging from A to D. These
slip-on or coat style pajamas are
made of wash ripple-cloth (sim-
ilar to seersucker) and light, but
durable rayon acetate material.
The new style jackets sans col-
lar and . lapels help a bit to keep
the wearer cool too. The cotton
pajamas have long or short
sleeves and afford a wide selec-
tion of stripes, prints and
paisley patterns. Perhaps an
old fashioned, cotton night shirt
is what your husband wants for
summer night wear on his visits
■with Morpheus. They're really
not as old fashioned as one
9< i might think and they are loose
and comfortable without re-
sembling a circus tent. Father's
" would be an appropriate
to give a gift of these at-
tractive pieces of . nightwear.
Husbands or Fathers or Sons
will all approve the pajamas you
=e from this reasonably
priced assortment.

This June many Fathers
might be called Army
Fathers. The J. A. KIR-
VEN CO. has kept in mind
that ALL fathers like to re- .
. eeive surprise packages oh ''
Father's Day. . Suitable as .
gifts are their Jantzen
boxer - type swimming
trunks in military tan and a
blue shade which is espec- ■
. icily popular with those in •
the paratroops. Bathrobes
which might well be used
as beach robes are well made
and reasonably priced. A
pair of trunks and a robe to
match would indeed surprise
and delight any Father, mil-
itary or no. Especially for
the army man is a regulation
tie and handkerchief set,
both the hanky and tie be-
iflg army tan color. What-
ever you have in mind to
give your Fathter this June
or have your children give
".. their father you'll find .
what you wish or get some
good ideas by shopping
around the main floor of

Ninety degrees in the
shade out here on Block 23
and it's just as hot in Co-
lumbus. There's one conso-
lation though, after an
afternoon shopping in town
dropping in at the centrally
located CITY PHAR-
MACY gives one a chance to
have an appetizing snack
and a frosty drink forget-1
ting the torrid weather mo-
mentarily. To many of us
who - travel to town rather
- early in the morning and
spend the whole day, the
nicely served luncheons in
this complete pharmacy are
a welcome treat. Some day
soon when you're in Colum-
bus, why not have luncheon
or the popular Shopper's
Tea. After doing this just
take a few moments and
browse around and see the
complete prescription de-
partment which will care-
fully compound your phar-
maceutical needs. Notice
also the vast assortment of
makeup materials which are
all attractively displayed.
Here experienced assist-
ance will be offered you if
you wish help selecting cor-
rect shades of lipstick, rouge
and powder. Now that
you're acquiring a summer
tan you'll want to wear a
correct makeup to bring out
the best in your lovely gol-
den-bronze skin tones. If
you're seeking cosmetics,
medicines, knick-knacks, or
an appetizing bite to eat,
you'll find them all at City
Pharmacy.

There are many days when
wearing just a dress doesn't
seem quite the thing to do,
Often a pair of well cut slacks,
if you have the figure for them,
will make you feel comfortable
and well dressed. Wearing
slacks around the house or to
do a bit of gardening in your
Victory Garden can be quite
the thing. You'll understand
what I mean if you ' shop for
at KAYSER - LILIEN-
txi^. Their slacks are really
beautifully made and not the
droopy affairs that so many
lesser ouality slacks are. Many
of the 'slack sets have slacks,
jacket and a skirt to match so
when you're finished your bit
of work you'll be able to
slip off your slacks, don your
smoothly tailored skirt and be
all set for the day. These
slacks are made of easy-to-
iron sharkskin and butcher linen.
Short and long sleeves are avail-
able. One especially attractive
outfit I spied combined a red,
not too bright a red, though,
jacket with navy blue slacks.
Others have white sharkskin
jackets with brass buttons, sim-
ilar to the Navy summer uni-
form, the slacks with this style
jacket are Navy blue or black.
You'll find bright hued and
rather intricate sets, or perhaps
-ore subdued styles and colors,
you wish. ■

THIRTY SOLDIERS of the 176th Infantry today began a forced march from Atlanta to
Fort Benning in preparation for which they have undergone intensive training in cross
country marching. Under the supervision of the Infantry Board, this group, picked at
random from the 176th, hopes to make at least 40 miles per day and still be in good, con-
dition for a battle at the end of their march. They are_pictured negotiating a bit of
rugged terrain in the vicinity of Marne Road.— (TIS Photo)

Staff. His selection of the name
ended a dilemma over naming the
division, occasioned by the fact
it was- composed of 27 National
Guard units from 26 states and
the District of Columbia. Each
wanted a name symbolizing its
state.

Colonel MacArthur, now Gen-
eral MacArthur in command of
American forces in the South Pa-
cific, decided that a 'rainbow'
covered the division adequately
and could be applied in many
ways, such as covering the terri-
tory from which the troops came,
covering the general thought and
spirit for which they were fight-
ing.

In the records of the division
is a notation that before every
major engagement in which
fought there appeared a rainbow.

new Rainbow Division reported to

peared over their barracks in the

American Soldiers Have -
No Excuse. For Sloppiness

One of the worst abominations in this un-
happy world is a sloppy soldier in garrison and
... one certainly sees some rare specimens in any
garrison town or place where men congregate off _
duty.

Painful though it may be io admit it, the fact
:~must be faced that our companion services, the'
"Navy and the Marines have us lashed to the mast
in the matter of bearing and appearance. • Par-
ticularly in the case of the Navy with the acute
limitations for keeping up appearances the sight
of a dirty or untidy sailor is so rare as to be con-
spicuous. .

Of course outfits vfery in the degree to which
they stress matters of cleanliness of person, and
neatness of uniform and a certain responsibility
: can be, laid at the feet of officers and non-coms
- who allow the men to leave their area with a
sub-standard appearance. In at least one.com-
:.pany here at Fort.Benning a man is not given his
pass unless he is pressed, polished, chined end
combed as he should be.

However much authorities may stress these
points no man can be forced beyond a certain
.'-point to look clean and smart unless he has the
" will to do it himself. Naturally such statements
can't possibly apply to men who are doing dirty
work or on field problems but these criticisms are
not directed at such. They apply rather to those
lads supposedly in "dress" uniform about the post
and on the streets of the town who look like
refugees from an unsuccessful barnstorming
. ^company of "Tobacco Road".

In a certain European country during peace
times when universal military training obtained
it was amusing to watch the soldiers one saw on
the streets. Each looked as though he had chosen
)iis own clothing according to individual whim
end every one of them, even during the hot sum-
mer months, had some sort of handkerchief, rag
or choker, inevitably dirty, wound around his
neck. A messy and forlorn looking crew they
were indeed. However they were merely mili-
• tery equivalents of what -they had been in civilian
'life and what they'd return to being: clodhopping
louts who never had any privileges in the army
-or out of it.

' No such reason or excuse can be plead for the
r.,' -untidy American soldier. We are provided with
-adequate clothing of excellent quality'and we are
... ' well paid; in many instances the equivalent of
.1: considerably more than civilian life allowed us.

In outfitting men at the induction centers the
i-y- -/quartermasters do a superb job of fitting the
garment to the man, despite innumerable not-
very-funny grade "C" jokes to the contrary by
cartoonists and humorists. In such cases as a

• man is given things which do not fit him he has
every chance to exchange them for his correct
size.

■ • Such minor alterations as the shortening of

trousers and the taking in of shirts can be done at
'•'the cost of between 35 and 50 cents at a post
•• tailor or a dressmaker in a nearby community.
' Laundry costs are absurdly cheap while dry

cleaning and pressing is done at prices lower than

• .the cut-rate shops during peace time.

■ ^ It is no uncommon thing to hear G. I.'s yearn-
ing for a return to civilian clothes. Those who
moan loudest on this score are almost inevitably
•the scurviest looking soldiers. You may tiepend
upon it that they cut no dashing figure on the

' right side of the Avenue al four p. m. in civilian
life nor were they,, the cynosure of all eyes - at
Voisin's, Southampton and Piping Rock. On the
contrary they probably always looked as though

^they'd just escaped from the book of birds.
_ Many mournful creatures deplore the fact that
a uniform standardizes men and erases character.
This is utter unqualified rubbish. In civilian life
one will almost inevitably find that it is the
fourth raters who go in for peculiarities of dress
to attract attentionHo themselves. These are the
inadequate souls who, not having sufficient
strength of character to give them distinction,
indulge in odd hats and weird neckties to com-
pensate for their deficiencies of personality.

One of the foremost tailors in the world, Mr.
Gray, of Gray and Lampel, once told the writer
that material and cut were the most important
factors in the distinction of clothing. American
"Army dress uniforms are designed by experts in
..that field and, within the limitations of ready-
made clothing, are finely cut. Certainly their
material is first rate. Well— after all, it is no
doubt an accomplishment of some magnitude
'when a soldier manages to look like the wreck
oMhe Hesperus. .Consider that he has success-
fully frustrated all the efforts of the war depart-
ment of the richest country in the world to the
contrary.

American Soldiers Keep
Their Hands Off Loot

It has been said of Americans in the last war
that they fought it for souvenirs and, indeed a

' distressing number of American households in the
1920's rejoiced in a parlor lamp which started out
in life as the case of a French 75 mm shell. Few
"dens", also, had not a German helmet and what
county courthouse lacked- a couple of obsolete
siege guns or field pieces? Indeed, were the
Brandenburg Gate slightly less massive it migh

'at this moment, be straddling Fifth Ave. at
25th Street. , M-

During a recent press conference General Mc-
Nair remarked, apropos his experiences in North
Africa, that although we have been teaching the
uses of mines since the maneuvers of 1941, Amer-
ican troops Ho not seem to have profited by he
instructions they have been given. Whde tte

■ General did not particularize, it -is a pretty sate

bet that a considerable number of these mines
were booby traps baited with just the sort of glit-
tering and ingenious gadget for which all G. I.'s
are naturals and fall guys. '

In the old days anything he could lay his
hands on in enemy territory was considered fair
game for soldiers and their leaders set them an
example as witness the case of Napoleon . who
■ ravaged every capital in Europe- of -its major
works of art including the great bronze horses
which adorned the portico -of St .Mark's Cathe-
dral in Venice but which were returned after the
Congress of Vienna.

The soldiers in the old days were J paid very
poorly and irregularly. Service was largely vol-
untary and looting was considered a legitimate
part of the soldier's compensation. The sack of
Peking by foreign soldiery, for instance, occurred
less than half a century ago and many of the ob-
jects reposing in museums' and private collections
were purloined by troops from the Imperial resi-
dence in the Chinese capital.

Civilized nations today . have : outlawed the
plundering of civilian property and, for that mat-
ter, public property which is not useful for bel-
ligerent purposes. According to reports the Jap-
anese have had no compunction about taking
anything they liked however. Allegations not
satisfactorily substantiated have attributed to the
Germans the appropriation of art objects in
France and sending them to" Germany. While
they may not plunder in theory the Germans do
in actual fact since they take what they like, and
"pay" for it in money devoid of purchasing
power.

It hardly seems necessary to remark that vio-
lating the property of civilians-, friendly or enemy
will have no part in America's present war op-
erations. There are other ways of winning a war
than shooting people and we have no intention of
playing the role of marauders and brigands in
other quarters of the globe thus stirring up
hatreds which will be the germ 'of future wars..
Thus, for more reasons than one, all G. I. visit-
ing firemen on foreign soil remember to keep
hands off. >,.

The Military Maids
lender Patriotic Service

Last week General Walter S. Fulton, com-
manding officer of Fort Benning, presented ser- .
vice pins to approximately 200 young Columbus
women who are affiliated with^ the worth-while
organization termed "The Military Maids." In
the words of General' Fulton the awards were
tmade in recognition of their "splendid coopera-
tion in helping to entertain our vast number of
enlisted men at Fort Benning."

The pins were only a token of the great debt
the enlisted men of the post owe to these young
ladies because their services are too great, their
sacrifices too many, to be remunerated in any
tangible way.

One might retort thatjhe Military Maids re-
ceive their compensation through the good times
they have attending the various functions ' de-
manding their presence. But this business of
being a Military Maid is not. just all dancing and
good times. Many of these girls work until late
afternoon. To make their social schedules they
must buck the crowds packed in city buses to
get home, get their dinner, primp themselves for
the evening's activities, and then rush to the
collecting station where buses await to take them
to various destinations stretching from Harmony
Church and Sand Hill to the Frying Pan area in
Alabama. It matters not what the weather may
be, they are on the spdf ready to render their
services.

The qualifications for membership as a Mil-
itary Maid are high and not : just any girl can
be among the elect. She must be past her six-
teenth birthday and must be passed upon by the
membership committee. She must take the pledge
to "live up to the highest standards of American
womanhood and abide by all rules and regula-
tions of the organization."

The Maids attended all" USO and Army social
functions. Before they are eligible to receive a
pin, they must have attended twelve dances
equivalent to 48 hours of service; all the while
looking "their prettiest."

The BAYONET believes that it speaks for
every soldier of this command in extending this
note of appreciation to Mrs. Hugh Roberts, Jr.,
official hostess for the Military Maids, to the
chaperons who are also giving their time and ef-
forts, and to the Military Maids themselves. The
entire organization represents the link that con-
nects the soldier with the life he left behind and
the life he must live until victory enables him
to return to all that the rank and file of American
youth hold deer.

PRIVATE'S PRAYER

The Sarge is my shedherd. I shall not want.
He maketh me pick up burnt matches. He lead-
eth me thru mud-puddles; he restoreth my step.
He guideth me . on the -course of obstacles for my
health's sake. Yea, though I walk thru the val-
leys, I must run up the hills. He annointeth my
head with abuses and my cup runneth over. Sure-
ly cadence and KP will follow me all the days of

USO Presents—

SWIMMING POOLS, PARKS, LAWNS
AND BACKYARDS FOR POST CLAN

By PVT. SHELDON A. KEITEL who plays afternoons

Swimming pools, parks, even
lawns and backyards belonging to
families of the Columbus-Phenix
City Community, will be thrown
open to Fort Benning's military
clan this !summer through ar-
rangements made by the Summer
Hospitality commi'^e of the Ninth
Street. USO . . . The action is in
reply to the expressed need on the
part of servicemen who have
asked the USO to give them some
outdoor life . . . Local organiza-
tions and church groups have com-
pleted the summer program, and
the use of many private homes has
already been volunteered.

"Legs keep on tremblin'," said the^ darkey.
"If yoy knew where you was goin', you'd trem-
ble twice as much." He obviously had not heard
the adage that the way to keep your knees from
shaking is to get down on them.

FOB THOSE IN PAIN

The why. of pain remains un-*
answered. No explanation . ex-
plains, no argument convinces that
it serves any useful purpose or
that it is necessary in the scheme
of existence.

No doubt many fine things
have come out of suffering
just as beautiful flowers
bloom In the midst of glacial
mountains or on the black-,.'
ened edge of a volcano, but
the one is as much a phenom-
enon as the other. As far as
human understanding is con-
cerned most suffering is vain,
unprofitable, needless.
That brave, serene soul, Robert
L. Stevenson was a chronic invalid
most of his short life. When he
could no 'longer speak he com-
municated his thoughts through
his twitching fingers. In his
Children's Garden of Verses,"
has a brave, pathetic poem. It is
not for children, but for grown-
ups—

"In winter I get up by night,
And dress by yellow candlelight,
In summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to. bed by day. '

I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,
And hear the grown-up pe
feet

Passing by me in the street.

Oh, does it not seem hard to you,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day."

But dying, he could sing—

"Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie,
Glad, did I live, and gladly die."

The only worthwhile compensa-
tion for pain and suffering is a
calm, radiant, courageous spirit.

My thoughts have been turning
to food these days— possibly he-
cause, simple food, well, prepared
and attractively served; is of even
more importance now that many
items are hard to get. I've been
running oyer, in my mind, dishes
I've had in the past, mostly at a
fairly tender age. They're not so
much dinners prepared by pro-
fessional chefs, but home-cooked
meals, that "hit the spot" at the
time.

Take, for example, mother's
strawberry shortcake. There
was a dish for you. None of
. this fancy "sponge cake con-
coction topped with whipped
cream. Our Idea of a short-
cake, as youngsters, consisted
of a big tin of piping-hot bis-
cuit dough, spilt in the middle
after baking and spread with
butter. Strawberries oozed
between the layers and cov-
ered the top. The masterpiece
was cut into wedge-shaped
pieces, covered with cream,
and eaten with a spoon. Two
servings of* that— and we gen-
erally asked for seconds— and
you didn't have room for any-
thing else.

Mother, as I recall, must have
been what is known as a "good
plain cook." Even at that, her
cooking was a bit oh the uncertain
side' and sometimes delegated to

OLD COLONEL T. P, FILLS RUSS POOL
WITH 'SWAMP-WATER' ACCIDENTALLY

By S. SGT. TOM McDONALD

Due to the extreme humidity of
the current .atmosphere, -Colonel
Swamp water has been complain-
ing rather vehemently about the
degree of - heat now prevalent and
of its effect upon his physical be-

whatever "hired girl" we might ^T^M
have with us at the time. But giv-
en the time and the inclination,
and mother could surprise us all
with a dish fit for .royalty. Her
stewed., chicken, cooked with
home-made egg noodles or per-
haps topped with dumplings, all
surrounded with a luscious gravy, .
was something to remember. And -
her bread puddings, ordinarily
thought of- as very common food,
were considered by all of us as fit-
ting fare to top off any dinner.
Mother's French thrift
sometimes led her to extreme*,
however. I recall the day she
inadvertently mixed dressing
for potato salad in the same
pan in which she had previ-
ously poured perfume' to fa-
cilitate its transfer to a small. -
er bottle. One bite of the
main item on our dinner and
the family refused to experi-
ment further. But mother,
loaths to throw away good
food, insisted to the last bite
on her plate that she could
taste nothing strange.
Perhaps my taste buds have
been blunted by too many season-
ings and sauces to appreciate
"good plain cooking". But I'd
like to taste some of Mother's
simple dishes and her home-
canned fruits and jellies again
just to see if they're as good as I
remember them to be.

need is a 'Iday of swimming,

has occurred to me that among

prompted me to write to you and
trust you can assist in. furthering
this cause.

possible to have a small article
published in such a manner to
arouse interest with regard

be cordially invited to contact this
writer in an effort to determine
the amount of^ collectors so inter-
ested, and the decision of a meet-

Tank' To Celebrate
Birthday On June 25

Special Anniversary
issue Will Observe
1st Year's Completion

YANK, the Army's official
weekly, by and for enlisted men
will celebrate its first birthday
with a special anniversary issue
dated June 25. 1943.

Opening with a cover cartoon
of the favorite Doughboy charac-
ter. "Sad Sack," the anniversary
issue of YANK, The Army Week-
ly will contain a Report to the
Enlisted Man on a year's prog-
ress of the Army, extra cartoon
pages, a large cartoon map of the
United States by Sgt. Ralph Stein,
antra message from the Army's
Commander-in-Chief — President
Roosevelt.

The Roosevelt letter will recall
the • President's message to
YANK's soldier-readers published
in Volume 1, No. 1, 52 weeks ago.
Iir that message, Roosevelt re-
viewed the principals for which
we're fighting and added, "I in-
tend to read YANK — every issue
of it — from cover to cover."

The anniversary issue will 'con-
tain eight additional pages over
the usual 24: it will go on sale in
Army exchanges and Navy Ships'
Service stores on June 18. Only
servicemen are permitted to buy
copies.

Since YANK's inception last
June, the publication has expand-
ed its activities to include world-
wide coverage and distribution.
Its soldier-correspondents have
gone up in B-17's over the South-
west Pacific, they've submerged
in pig boats in the Atlantic,
they've ridden jeeps in Tunisia,
they've looked at Germany
through open bomb-doors, they've
made charcoal sketches and snap-
ped photos under the fire of Jap
snipers, and they have tailed re-
treating Nazis with advance pa-
trols of the British 3th.

One YANK reporter, in his en-
thusiasm for a scoop, found him-
self 800 yards ahead of an armor-
ed column that stormed Sened.

531 Armored
Battalion Here

Is New Type Unit
in U. S. Fighting Forces

A new type of organization ir
the Army—a, separate armored in-
fantry battalion — is being organ-
ized in the First Studenl Training
Regiment area with the creation
of the 538th Armored Infantry
Battalion, it was announced at
Fort Benning Monday. ' , •
The table or organization of the
new outfit is virtually the same
as that of a battalion in an ar-
mored infantry regiment of ah
armored division.

Captain Charles D. Young, for-
merly of the 54th Armored Infan-
try Regiment of the Tenth Ar-
mored Division, is acting as bat-
talion commander. A cadre of 34
officers and 103 enlisted men has
arrived at Fort Benning from an-
other station t© form the nucleus
of the new organization.

The battalion has been attached
to the 10th Armored Division for
training:

Sgt. Pete Paris was one of the
first soldiers to enter Macknassy,
while artist Sgt. Howard Brodie
had his sketch pad shot out of his
hands by a Jap sniper in Guadal-
canal.

In all 30 YANK correspondents
have been under fire, four have
been temporarily hospitalized, one
killed in line of duty.

The result has been a weekly
news magazine -with the punch of
a flying fortress and the sparkle
of a G. I. belt buckle. So much
have ■ soldiers come to rely on
YANK as their official voice that
the editorial offices in New York
receive an average of 1600 letters
weekly in fan mail and technical
iqueries alone. Requests include
[everything from locating a long-
lost brother to sending swing-
music scores to an isolated Army
band. And YANK has complied
with hundreds of such requests.
ARMY CROSS-SECTION

Contents of the Army Weekly
are nothing more or less than a
digest and cross section of Army
life as it actually appears to sol-
diers. When Army existence is
serious or unpleasant, YANK
makes no bones about it. But
neither is it ashamed to boast a
healthy interest in the opposite
sex and a full appreciation of
humor. Its cartoons and gags
spare no one— from the highest
"brass hats" to the saddest sack.

YANK's anniversary issue will
mark a definite milestone in the
annals of American publishing. It
is a tribute from enlisted men to
the very principals of freedom for
which they are fighting.

A WINGED MESSENGER GETS "WINGS" as Col James Coutts, assistant commandant of the '.Parachute school
at Fort Benning, awards paratrooper wings to "Thunder Bird," pigeon that has made 10 jumps from an airplane to
become the first official paratroop pigeon. The bird is part of a training group at Fort Benning used for teaching
two members of each class of paratroopers how to handle the messengers that take out vital messages from points
behind enemy lines. Here Col. Coutts pins the of ficial paratroopers wings on "Thunder Bird" which is held in the newly
developed carrying jacket that is strapped to a paratroopers' uniform. The bird is held by Pvt. Raymond Chapin, Spen-
cer, Mass.. as Pvt. Philip Carney, Boston, looks on at the ceremony.

ROOKS IN COMMAND

Col. John M. Rooks is com-
mandant of all Fourth Service
Command schools and directs
their work from his headquarters
at the Fort Benning school. With
a background of 34 years in the
army, 24 of them in the Quarter-
master Corps., Colonel Rooks has
the responsibility of supervising
and handling the installation of
bakeries in all camps, stations and
forts in the Fourth Service Com-
mand. He visits each school once
or twice a -month.

Lt. Col. Grover M. Ford is as-
sistant to Colonel Rooks and is
the executive officer of all schools
for bakers and cooks in the com-
mand. Prior to his call to active
duty, he was a professor of bio-
chemistry.

Working directly under Colonel
Rooks as mess supervisor for the
Fourth Service Command is Ma-
jor Joseph N. demons, of Miami
Beach, Fla.

Warrant Officer Daniel H. Siro-
ty is personnel adjutant for the
schools and handles the problems
incident to the many soldiers who
are sent to the 14 schools. Mr.
Siroty, who was inducted into the
army in August, 1§41, handled
personnel matters for a large tex^
tile firm in New York City before
his call to the army.

The immediate problem of in-
struction in the Baking and the
Cooking schools at Fort Benning
rests to a large degree upon Mas-
ter Sgt. Henry B. Whitehorn, Jr.,
of Memphis, Tenn., senior instruc-
tor for both the schools.

Master Sergeant John W. Shaf-
fer of Pittsburg, Pa., is chief bak-
ing (instructor and also is in
charge . of all courses of instruc-

field and garrison baking.

Tech." Sgt. Daniel R. Brooker of
Tampa, Fla.; is assistant chief
baker and supervises the practical
phase of baking in the school.
GO TO CHICAGO
■ Typical of the training and
qualifications which instructors at
the Fort Benning school are re-
quired to have is the fact that
Master Sgt. Whitehorn, Staff Sgt.
Clifford L. Edgar of Union, Miss.,
who is in charge of the experi-
mental group at the Baking
school and assists in instruction,
and baking school instructors in-
cluding Tech. 3rd gd. Sidney Ja-
cobs of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Sgt.
Techs. Burl W. Beaverson of To-
ledo, Ohio, and Frank H. Lam-
bros, were all sent to the Ameri-
can Institute of Baking in Chi-
cago and completed the army ad-
vanced course of baking.

At the Institute, the instructors
were taught not only all the prin-
ciples of baking and field mainte-
nance but also were carefully
taught the best possible methods
of instilling knowledge into the
minds of those men who attend
the schools. They were taught to
present their subjects in the sim-
plest manner, to assume the stu-
dent knows nothing about baking
when he begins the course, to use
charts, pictures, models, black-
boards and all kinds of teaching
aids.

Cardboard charts and illustra-
tions present one of the most im-
portant steps, in teaching the
courses. Three sergeant techni-
cians, Charles E. Parker of New
York City, Ben D. Winer of Nor-
folk, Va., and Charles F. Walters
of Chicago, devote their entire
time to preparing these charts
and pictures in their chart and
sign studio. All of them were
commercial artists or professional
sign painters in civilian life and
have attended the Sign Painters
School at Camp Lee, Va.

The studio prepares all the
charts used for classes in the
schools in cooperation with the
instructors. The artists and the
instructors correlate their experi-
ence in teaching and artistic pre-
sentation and. work out the. best
methods of making up the charts
and illustrations so that students
will be most beenfitted.

Believing that the learning per-
iod is considerably shortened and
that subjects are more ' explicit
and clearly presented when illus-
trated with drawings and- letter-
ing on charts, the school has these
learning aids covering the walls
of classrooms and available on
every subject which is touched/
All of the processes of baking are
outlined in one- series of charjs;

1ST LIEUT. WEILL

Second Lieutenant Raphael
Weill, supply officer of the 183rd
Ordnance HM Battalion (Q) has
been promoted to first lieutenant
it was announced by Colonel
George E. Jacobs, commanding
officer of ther Second Army
Troops. Lieutenant Weill received
his B.S. degree from the New
York University in 1938 and be-
fore entering the service was em-
ployed as credit manager by the
James Talcott Company of New
York City. He is a native of
Weehawkin, New Jersey.

acidity tests to analyze
amount of acid or alcohol in, the
finished bread product and an op-
portunity to see the effects , of
unbalanced formulae on the final
outcome of bread, are the uses to
which the projected new labora-
tory could be put.

It is felt a laboratory of this
sort would give the students a
more thorough knowledge of the
chemistry in baking and teach
them more fully how they could
be able to remedy any fault that
might occur in the finished prod-
uct. .

Theoretical instruction in- the
art of cooking is provided by
Staff Sgt Hoke S. Sewell of Co-
lumbus, Ga., Staff Sgt. Jerry M.
G. Allen of Nashville, Tenn., and
Sgt. Tech. Charles R; Sparks of
Louisville, Ky.

Utilizing the most modern and
practicable teaching methods
known, the Fort Benning Bakers
and Cooks School is scientific in
its approach to instructing, and
depends upon science- for its
knowledge of nutrition, formulae,
vitamins and the many other fac-
tors important to their field.

But despite this application of
scientific knowledge and princi-
ples, instructors strive to imprint
indelibly upon the minds of stu-
dents and visitors alike that cookr
ing and baking should not be
classified as a mundane science.

,. "Cooking and Baking," they in-
sist with pride, "is an ART!"

Secohdirmy

Two new organizations have
been assigned to the Second Army

by Colonel George E. Jacobs com-
mander of all Second Army

Brown and the 523rd Ordnance
HM Company, commanded by 1st
Lt. Charles A. Richmann. These
two new units are located in the

MODELS SHOWN

Models of baking ovens, field
ranges, and other equipment as
well as sections of equipment are
placed in the classroom and are
constantly used for demonstration
purposes during lectures on th<
use of baking equipment. Learn-
ing the nomenclature of thi
equipment is made much easier
and understanding of the func-
tion of each part is made clearer
to the student by the use of such
models.

Blackboards are utilized to in-

rormulae for baking and <
thousand and one other things
which present themselves during
the classes.

Plans also are being made to
open a new laboratory . for the
bakers school so that laboratory
tests can be made. Glutin tests
to determine the amount of pro-
teins and ash tests to find out the
amount of minerals contained in
flour, a water absorption test to

Features TIS Card

Brigade Win Can Throw Race
in 3-Way Tie For Loop Honors

With 10 games on tap this week, almost every team in the
Infantry School League will make two appearances. The
176th Spirits plav only once, facing the 124th at Gowdy Field
on Sunday, while the Gators and the 244th play three games
each,

Tomorrow night the Academic
Regiment Profs will try to add an-
ther one to their long victory
string, taking on the Tanks at
Gowdy Field. Meanwnile the Ga-
tors and Rifles will be battling it
out at Harmony Church.
- Most prominent game of the
week is that between the unde-
feated Profs and the powerful Stu-
dent Training Brigade at Gowdy
Field on Sunday.

The league fight seems to have
settled down to a battle among the
Profs, the Brigade and the 300th.
Sunday's game will either practi-
cally eliminate the Brigadiers
' from the first-half race or so
tighten up the loop that a victory
Elso by the 300th 'over the Profs
can throw the lead into a three-
way tie.

On offense the- Profs have a de-
cided edge over the Brigadiers,
baiting .300 as compared to the
Brigade's team, average of .240.
Only one Brigadier is batting over
.300. the bulk of the Brigade's
power apparently being centered
in Red McCluskey who is batting
sn even .500. McCluskey's output
includes six doubles and two hom-
ers. The Profs have seven men
hitting over .300. led by Plunk
with .428, Fenno with .413, Moore
with .366 and Niebler with .347.
PROFS AVERAGE GOOD

The Profs have averages better
than 12 runs per game while the
Brigadiers have averaged- six. In
Extra bases, the Profs also have
the advantage, boasting 15 doubles,
four triples and four homers. The
Brigade has 11 doubles, no triples
• uid three homers. .

The hustle shown by the Profs
<f evidenced in their base-stealing
record of 22 steals in seven games.
The Brigadiers have swiped lour
bases in six games. Benny Zien-
tara is far ahead in the league with
seven robberies to, his credit.

In fielding both teams are about
even while the hurling Is also
about - on a par. In Prendergast
and DeVolder the Brigadiers can
boast two brilliant pitchers; but
the Profs can counter with Dick-
inson and Rundus. Sunday's' game
will probably see a tight pitching
duel between Prendergast and
Dickinson. The previous game
went 11 innings before the Profs
eked out a 5 to 4 victory.
SECOND GAME

The. second game of the Gowdy
Field double-header features the
176th against the 124th in a game
that will throw light on the three-
way fight fdr fourth place now
raging among the Spirits, Gators
and Rifles.

Highlights of last week were the
Profs making it seven straight in
whipping the 176th, 8 to 1, and the
rampaging 300th winning its sixth
straight as Cave hurled a 4-0
shut-out over the 176th, holding
the Spirits to three hits.

Winners Collect
7 Runs In 7th
Frame To Win 8-5

By CPL. CARROLL M. BINES

Outhit 12 to 4, Service company
10th A. D., collected seven runs
on only two safeties in a big sev-
enth and final frame to defeat its
traditional rival, Hq. & Hq. com-
pany, 10th A. D., 8-5, in a "grudge"
battle at Gowdy field, last Thurs-
day afternoon.

The scrap between these two
friendly enemies was all Head-
quarters company until the final
canto. The losers landed hard on
Service company's starting hurler,
Cpl. Milton "Bib" Falkl at the
outset and collected seven hits and
four runs off the big righthander
before driving him from iU'
mound in . the third stanza.

Speedballer Walter Brown
came in to put out the fire and
pitch steady five-hit, one-run ball
the rest of the way, but with Ber-
glund pitching two-hit ball, Head-
quarters appeared all set.
LUCKY SEVENTH ]

But came the seventh, and it
certainly was the "lucky seventh"
for the Servicemen. Berlung hit
leadoff man Chernak with one of
his slants to start all the trouble.
Then followed a base on balls, a
fielder's choice, an error, and B.
Brown's single for four runs that
sidetracked Berglund.

Killian came in from the out-
field to take over the mound chore,
but fared no better. Lt Scholl's
single, an "Annie Aakley" and an-
other fielder's choice meant three
more runs and brought in Gray,
who managed io retire the side
without further scoring.

Lt. Scholl and B. Brown garner-
ed all the winners' bingles but
Cpl. John Valley of Headquarters
company was the hitting star of
the day, with . a double and two
singles to show for his four trips
to the plate. •

a definite alignment of the quar-
tet of nines in the series.

The defending divisional cham-
pionship 3rd Armored Regiment
Dragons, winners of eight straight
loop starts, hold the No. 1 spot, of
course. The IstBn., 54th Armored
Infantry Regiment, with six. wins
and two losses, gets second; the
420th Armored FiekLArtillery Bn.,
with five wins and two defeats,
third; and the 11th Armored. Regi-
ment, with five wins and; three
losses, fourth. ' ' , „

This means that the 3rd Arm-
ored and 420th combines, rated by
most followers of Tiger division
baseball as the fastest teams in the
senior circuit, will play each other
in the first round, Saturday at. 2
p m. on diamond No. 8-1, Tiger
Field. The 1st Bn., 54th AIR, dark
horse of the playoffs, will battle
the in-and-out 11th AR aggrega-
tion at the same time on diamond

If hat been very much emphasized lately thaf we
must "buy bonds to buy bombs." Keep reminding
yourself, and those who listen to you, that when you
buy war bonds you are not giving away money — you
are saving money. You are making an investment.
When you invest in war bonds you save money fer
yourself and you help save your country for the future.

We must keep fit during these trying days— drink

must have in our diet!

The literary speed of the G. I. is
not colored comics and horse sag-

the testimony of Miss. Frances
Chandler who, in her capacity as
librarian at Fort Benning's Main
post, should certainly know.

In civilian life, a high school
librarian, Miss Chandler says that
soldiers at Fort Benning show
better choice and eagerness in
their literary likes and dislikes
than her former students.

While there is considerable call
for those works of current fiction

Chaplain Heifer
Shows G. I. Twist

Chaplain Frederick W. Heifer
of the First Student Training
Regiment is s man well known
among the soldiery for his inspir-
ing sermons and short talks. Fre-
quently it will be noted, by an
eager listener, that within the
short space of four or five sen-
tences, the Chaplain has coined at
least one monumental expression.
Each in its own way, smacking of
G. I. appeal.

In a recent sermon, sentence
packed with inspiration, Chaplain
Heifer let drop one particularly
appealing suggestion. In a few
words the Chaplain bared a work-
able plan against life's more com-
plex struggles. A plan so simple,
so plain, so G. I. that it works.
To quote: "I have often thought
for instance that about all a good-
ly number of men need to become
rather decent fellows is to change
their habits on Saturday nights,
stay away from the old hang-out
and the old gang. It is a great
thing for a man to put up his
own off-limits sign around the
indecencies of life."

300th Infantry's
Band Starts Work

The 300th Infantry band :
gradually taking shape. Under the
capable leadership of 1st Lt. Ben-
jamin F. Zvolanek of Regt. Hq.,
the band is forming into a working
group. On Friday, May 7, the band
had its second practice and de-
'oted most of the time to rehear-
sing the National Anthem. To the
men of the 300th, who had been
quartered with the 29th during
the first few months of the 300th's
existence, this particular rendition
of the National Anthem brought
back memories of the 29th Quar-
tel and the 29th Band parading
smartly at Retreat. All agreed that
successful rehearsal gave
promise of a bright future for
the 300th Band.

At the present time Lt. Zvola-
nek and 1st Lt. Thomas E. Cas-
sidy, Special Service officer of
the SOuth are busy acquiring more
instruments and sheet music to
finally bring the band to its con-
templated strength.

Harry Stuhldreher was a quar-
terback of the famed Four Horse-

O. C deShEshmareff Served
In- French Foreign Legion

Officers** - 'e^TS

^-jL^lr COSTS .

Officer candidates here at The
Infantry School have come from
nearly every type of civilian oc- '
cupation' and from military serv-
ice on many fronts, and now to
make the story complete, there
; on the scene a former
member of the French Foreign
Legion.

The saga of Kyrill Feodorovich
deShishmareff reads like the
script for a motion picture' thriller.
In fact, among other things, de-
Shishmareff used to be a script
riter himself.

In the French Foreign Legion,
deShishmareff rose through the
ranks to become an officer, and
now in the Second Student Train-
ing Regiment in the 17th Com-
pany, he is going through the rig-
orous three months' course that is
necessary for enlisted men who
wish to .become officers in the
U. S. Army.

INTERNATIONAL
Candidate deShishmareff has an
international military background,
if ever there was one. He was
born in St. Petersburg (now Len-
ingrad) Russia, the son of a col-
onel • in the Russian Imperial
Guard. His mother was an Ameri-

..as tutored to enter the Im-
perial Lyceum to be trained for
the Russian army and the diplo-
matic service. Then came the rev-
olution, and his mother took him
to the United States. He still
wanted to be a soldier, so he went
to military school.

His education was later con-
tinued in trips to France and Eng-
land, where he attended Christ
I Church College, Oxford, and the
University of London. Today, as
a result, deShishmareff speaks
Russian, French and English with
almost equal ease, and has a smat-
tering of' several other languages.
His accent can be described as
j having a broad "A" with a Rus-
jsian twist.

JOINS LEGION
Tired of just going to school,
deShishmareff in 1929 volunteered
for service in the French Foreign
Legion. He stayed, in ' for five
years, which is a lot of time in
that outfit, and rose from the
grade of private to be commis-
sioned a lieutenant. He took pai't
in three campaigns and was cited
for conspicuous bravery in action.

In 1935 he was brought from
Paris to Hollywood by MGM stu-
dios as a writer, and technical di-
rector for a film production with
Foreign Legion background.

He remained in Hollywood until
he entered the Army last year,
and during that time worked for
several of the major studios and
as a free-lance writer. He knew
most of the film stars.

12-Year Olds
Want InWAACs,

Signs of the times.
No longer are hero-worship-
pers confined to young boys,
for today -came proof that the
WAACs have theirs.

Captain Evelyn -Rothrock
commanding officer of the
43rd Headquarters company
at Fort Benning, Ga., received
a letter from Dorothy Ccrews
and Helen Bray with the re-
turn address of 1809 Third
avenue, Columbus. The letter
speaks for itself:

"We are only 12 years old
and want so much to train
and be a WAACS. I know we
are too little but please try
and get us in.

"P. S. If you don't get us
in we thank you for trying."

Gene Tunney was in the other
corner when the fans paid $2,-

at Chicago, in 1927. Floored by
Dempsey, Tunney won with the
aid of Referee Dave Barry's fa-
'mous "long count" of 1(.

In the mechanical battalion of
the First Student Training Regi-
ment a profitable, morale build-
ing and practicable idea has
sprung forth. -Colonel Ellis Moore,
commanding officer of the 4th
Battalion, developed and further-
ed the idea of installing and equip-
ng a wood-work shop worthy of
the attention of his many stu-
dents attending the Motor Me-
chanics and Radio Operators
courses here at the Infantry
School^

The equipment, which .includes
a lathe, band 'saw, circular saw,
power drills, planing mill, bench
grinders, hand tools are of sturdy
and professional-like structure.
During the procurement arrange-
ment of all equipment, Battalion
officers have kept in mind that
they are seeking to set up a shop
for men with a "natural" bent
for mechanics. There is no ama-
teurishness in any aspect of enter-
prise. It's professional from_ the
■ery word "go."

This morale building enterprise
has been undertaken with the idea
that the men would find pleasure
in working with good tools while
the battalion itself would profit
'n the form of lawn furniture,
helves, bookcases, etc.,. and in-
numerable unpurchaseable ar-
ticles. '

Retreat Parade

Before Col. R. H. Lord, regi-
mental commander, and Lt. Col.
Burnell V. Bryant, battalion com-
mander, the officer candidates of
the Second Battalion, Third Stu-
dent Regiment, conducted their
own retreat parade and review
Friday night.

Colonel Lord and Lieutenant-
Colonel Bryant were the only offi-
cers on the field for the cere-
mony, the conduct of which was
left entirely to the -candidates.
Candidate company commanders
assembled their companies and
marched them, to the battalion
drill field and ordered them into
formations with a dispatch that
excited admiration from veteran
officers who witnessed the dem-
onstration .from beyond the field.

As battalion commander, Can-
didate Edwin W. Emmerson of
Potomac, 111., issued the com-
mands of the always impressive
military ritual and they were con-
veyed to the company command-
ers by Candidate Long H„ Gof-
figon of Cape Charles, Va., stu-
dent battalion adjutant. Both men
are from the Seventh Company.

Student company commanders
for the review were: Seventh
Company, Charles W. Anderson;
Eighth Company, Lloyd A. Gilles-
pie; Ninth Company,. Andrew J.
Boechler; 10th Company, John C.
Pochinchuk; 11th Company,
Stephen B. Sitar; 1 2th Company,
Robert M. Boyer. Music for the
parade was played by the 124th
Infantry Band.

Such student-conducted demon-
strations are rare in OCS units,
where the plea usually is made
there is too little time for other
than the routine, concentrated
training. No class in the Sec
Battalion has been functioning
more than five weeks.

Christmas Gift
From Boston Via
Africa Arrives

A gaily wrapped Christmas
package containing cigarets
and sweets and postmarked
November, 1942, turned up in
the mail call of the 24th Com-
pany, Third Student Training,
Regiment at Fort Benning,
last week.

• Its recipient, dumbfounded
at first, learned the reason for
the delay after a close inspec-
tion. At the time the pack-
age was mailed, he was serv-
ing as a first sergeant in Af- ,
rica and. the Yuletide gift had
traveled from Boston to Af-
rica and, failing to catch up
with him there, pursued him
to OCS in Fort Benning.

Bomber Crew's
Adventures In
June 11 'Yank'

"Sixty-six Days Missing In Ac-
tion,".is the title of an exclusive
feature .appearing in the June 11
issue of YANK, the army weekly.
Cabled from Guadalcanal by
YANK staff correspondent^ Sgt.
Mack Morris, this unusual fea-
ture describes the experiences of
a U. S. bomber crew lost some-
time ago in Jap controlled Pacific
waters.

These men made their way to
an uninhabited island where they
found a Navy man who had been
stranded there six months .before.

Recently a number of Navy
photographs came through from
the Pacific theater showing mem-
bers of the lost bpmber crew. Pix
were minus captions or text. Sgt
Morris' article is the first authen-
tic account of what happened to
the missing men.

Another special feature of the
June 11th issue will be an in-
formative article titled "Gas
Warfare" by YANK's Sgt. Bill
Davidson. In this article Sgt. Da-
vidson gives a comprehensive re-
view of the dangers of chemical
warfare as a potential weapon,
and stresses the serious possibil-
ity of its use in the hear future.

YANK's Alaskan correspond-
ent reports on the Kiska aerial
offensive in a timely write-up of
the activities in this recently ex-
ploding theater of operations.

Pin-up for the week is Nan
Wynn whose activities on the,
screen up until recently have con-
sisted of supplying Voice of Rita
Hayworth. One glance at Nan's
face and figure will explain why
she has been chosen for more
visual performances. Her next
movie will be Columbia's "Right

Opposite Western Union Office

Eyery organization on the post
is supposed to send in a card for
every active member of that or-
ganization. These cards are placed
in a "live" file. Clerks consult
this file for names of soldiers
when mail is received. If the
name cannot be found, the letter
is placed in a rack, and next day.
in another, and so on for 10 days)

Each day a clerk attempts to
locate the soldier and generally
by the end of 10 days, i* " ac-
complished. If, however. ^
mains undelivered, it is placed in
a -dead" rack, and then the hard
work actually begins. ■ Files are
ganization to determine whether
the soldier is there.

Then, if the man is found, the
organization is asked to send in
I a card on the man. If the man is
not located, the half million or
more cards in the "'dead file" are
! combed thoroughly. Chances are
; that the man has left the post and
! if his name then is located, the
| letter is sent to his forwarding
address.

If all of that fails, chances are
that he never was on the post.
WAAC's HELP -

Ten men and 32 WAACS han-
dle this work. Also at work-in the
office are 44 other men who are
(members of four Army Postal
Units training, for service over-
seas. These are the 563d, 564th,
! 555th and the 556th, consisting of
ill men and one officer each. Af-
jter they have learned the intri-
icacies of handling mail for army
! organizations, they will be sent
! out with permanent organiza-
' tions.

The office also holds mail for
.men who are to be assigned to
the post — sometimes Officer Can-
didates come in to find several
pounds of mail awaiting them.
Whenever any unit anywhere in
this country or abroad assigns >. a
man or an organization to Fort
Benning. the APO is notified and
! the mail -is redirected to Fort

Post, it now serves .24 hours a
day as an Information Bureau.
Army personnel seeking some in-
dividual may call the office and
find out where that individual
may be located on a few minutes
notice.

Offices and files of the APO
intained in the Old Thea-
ter building, near the present
gymnasium. Besides the men and
WAACS at work there, four men
are kept at the United States
Post Office on the post, redirect-
ing mail that comes in for units
that have recently left the post.

Assisting Capt. Twohig are two
other officers of long postal ex-
perience. Lt. Willard Mather,
West Palm Beach, Fla., served
for 16 years there before he was
called to service while Lt. Mel-
G. Hartman, Martinsburg,
ra, also served for 16 years, part
of that time as postmaster. Sgt.
Rov Levey served for 23 years
at Union City, N. J., for instance.
BIG TURNOVER

Turnover of men at the-.post is
greater than a city of 300,000
Capt. Twohig pointed out. In the
Parachute School, for instance,
men move from company to com-
pany every few days in their pro-
gress through the school. Others
are shifted from one organization
to another. Others are sent to the
hospital, and may then be shifted
to another organization or. sent
off the post. Others leave the
post for some reason. Officer
"Candidates are here for 90 days.
Bakers and Cooks School students
are here for 60 days. Students in
the various Training Regiment
groups are on the post for vary'
ing length of times. In every in-
stance, the man's card must fol-
low' his army shillings and when
he eventually leaves, the card is
maintained for a year in the live
file before being shifted to the
dead file.

Another job of the APO is that'
of notifying newspapers, maga-
zine?, and other publications, of
changes in addres of men. Sever-
al clerks are kept busy doing
nothing else.

The APO also supplies cards
to members of organizations that
are due to be' sent away. These
are to be filled out and sent to
their correspondents. In cases
where the unit is to go overseas,
the APO fills out the Army Post
Office address to which mail is
to be addressed, holds the cards
for a time, and then sends them
on to the friends or relatives so
that they may have the mailing
address of the men.

Right now the APO officers and
clerks are building up home ad-
dresses of the men, in addition to
their present Army addresses.
They're looking forward to the
time when men will be sent
home — and their mail will have
to follow them'.

W. D. Clarifies

a ring 3-4 of an inch in diameter.

winged projectile, point down,
superimposed on a circular target,
the whole placed at the center of
the standard wings.
