An  Army  Specialized  Basic 
Training  Center  to  handle  approx- 
imately 6,000  colored  troops  com- 
inc  from  reception  centers  from 
all  over  the  South  is  to  be  estab-

ly Brig.  General  Walter  S.  Ful- 
ton post  commander,  announced 
late  Wednesday.  Lt.  Col.  Ulric 
Tames,  commanding  officer  of  the 
Reception  Center,  will  command 
the  center  in  addition  to  perform- 
ing his  present  duties. 

Col  James  will  receive  a  cadre 
m  i  000  men  and  134  officers  to 
form  the  nucleus  of  the  center. 
The  vanguard  of  the  center's  per-

Five  124th  Infantry  Enlisted  Men, 
TIS  Officer  Decorated  For  Heroism 


"The  Center  will  be  organized 
into  four  battalions, of  24  compa- 
nies, the  latter  elements  to  have  a 
strength  of  250  men  each. 
"  The  training  program  will  ex 
tend  over  a  period  of  between  six 
to  13  weeks,  depending  upon  the 
progress  made  by  the  individual 
soldier. 

BASIC  SUBJECTS 

The  basic  subjects  to  be  taught 
will  include  all  those  urj  to  actual 
firing  on  the  range.  It  is  also  de- 
signed to  aid  in  the  proper  classi- 
fication of  the  soldiers  so  that  the 
Army  may  place  them  in  those 
jobs  in  which  they  may  do  the  na- 
tion the  most  good,  thus  expedit- 
ing the  Army's  program. 

The  curriculum  will  also  include 
an  educational  program  of  three 
hours  daily  to  bring  the  soldiers 
up  to  the  educational  standards 
set  by  the  Army.  This  program 
will  be  so  set'  up  as  not  to  slow  up 
the  progress  of  divisional  train- 
ing by  those  men  who  are  in  need 
of  more  elementary  preparation. 

Col.  James  is  now  engaged  i 
the  solution  of  numerous  problems 
attendant  upon  the  establishment 
of  the  Center,  such  ss  the  housing 
problem,  expansion  of  recreation- 
al facilities,  and  the  procurement 
of  sufficient  classrooms  adequately 
to  carry  on  the  work  of  the  Cen- 
ter. ____mmmmmm___mmmmmmm

For  TfS  Work 

Two  hundred  and  thirty-nine 
members  of  the  first  year  class 
of  the  United  States  Military 
Academy  at  West  Point  arrived 
yesterday  afternoon  for  a  10-day 
tour  of  observation  at  the  Infan- 
.  try  School.  The  Cadets  disem- 
-  barked  at  Fort  Benning  Junction 
and  were  transported  to  the  First 
Student  Training  Regiment  where 
they  were  assigned  to  the  bar- 
racks of  the  11th  company. 

■In  command  of  the  -cadets  was 
Brig.  Gen.  Philip  Gallagher.  Ac- 
companying them  on  their  six- 
car  special  troop  train  were  31 
officers  of  the  military  academy. 

The  cadets  will  attend  numer- 
ous demonstrations  at  various  in- 
stallations of  the  Infantry  School 
and  wil  aso  take  part  in  some 
practical  work. 


THE  HEROISM  of  these  five  enlisted  men  of  the  124th  Infantry  was  given  concrete  rec- 
ognition vesterdav  when  they  were  awarded  the  Soldier's  Medal  for  Heroism -by  Brig. 
Gen  Henry  P.  Perrine,  Commander  of  the  School  Troops  Brigade,  at  a  ceremony  on  the 
regimental  parade  grounds.  The  awards  were  made  for  heroism  shown  in  rescuing :  a ^con- 
tingent of  South  American  journalists  who  fell  into  the  flood-swollen  Lpatoi  Creek  while 
witnessing  a  river  crossing  expedients  demonstration  last  March.  Left  to  right  they  are,

June  15.  Deadline 
For  Income  Tax 

All  military  personnel  who  have 
made  the  first  payment  on  fed- 
eral income  tax  were  reminded  of 
the  June  15  deadline  for  the  final 
installment,  in  an  announcement 
from  post  headquarters. 

Although  a  bill  is  now  pending 
which  would  relieve  most  fighting 
men  of  this  obligation,  it  has  not 
as  yet  been  signed  by  the  presi- 
dent. ,  _ ' 

As  the  tax  biU  passed  Congress, 
few  soldiers  other  than  unmarried 
officers  of  higher  grades  will  have 
to  pay  taxes  on  their  1943  in- 
come. In  addition  to  the  personal 
exemptions  of  $500  for  single  per- 
sons and  $1200  for  married  per- 
sons, servicemen  will  be  given  a 
flat  exemption  of  $1500.  Thus  no 
soldier  making  less  than  $2,000 
would  pay 'U.S.  income  taxes 

Furthermore    the  withholding 
provisions  of  the  pay-as-you-go 
bill  would  not  apply  to  serv 
'■  men.

l20«Mt1e  Forced  March. 


Back  at  their  duties  today  are 
the  30  members  of  the  176th  regi- 
ment of  The  Infantry  School, 
troops  who  completed  a  forced 
march  of  120  miles  from  Atlanta 
lo  Fort  Benning  in  86  1-2  hours. 

'  The  march  ended  Sunday  night 
at  10:30  when  25  of  the  starters 
marched  briskly  past  the  Officers 
Club  and  were  picked  up  by  the. 
176th  Regimental  band. 

Four  of  the  five  who  were 
forced  out,  suffered  from  bruised 

is-feet;   the    fifth    suffered  from 

.  cramps. 

It  was  hoped  that  the  troops 
could  make  the  trip  in  three  days, 
averaging  40  miles  a  day.  But  hot 
weather  forced  the  officers  in 
charge  to  decrease  the  pace  in 
Keeping  with  their  plan  to  bring 
the  troops  into  Fort  Benning  in 
good  physical  shape.  That  was  the 
object  of  the  march—to  cover  the 
distance  at  a  pace  which  would 
Permit  the  troops  to  arrive  fit  for 
£' battle  at  the  termination  of  the 
march. 

And  it  wee  ft  pretty  cocky 
bunch,  toe,  that  returned  the 
greetings  of  hundreds  who  waited 
two  hours  lor  their  arrival  and 
listened  to  an  impromptu 'concert 
by  the  band. 


AN  OAK  LEAF  Ouster  to 
add  to  his  Soldier's  Medal 
for  Heroism  was  presented 
to  Lt.  Col.  Andy  A.  Lips- 
comb, Jr.,.  Director  of  Train- 
ing of  the  Infantry  School. 


II  AST  Men 
lave  Reported 

18- Year-Olds  Began 
Their  Training  Monday 

A  total  of  428  young  selectees 
have  reported  to  the  new  A.  S. 
T.  P.  Basic  Training  Center  of 
the  Infantry  School  in  the  last 
seven  days  according  to  an  an 
nouncement  made  at  the  head 
quarters  of  the  Center  in  Har 
mony  Church. 

The  selectees,  most  of  them  13- 
year-olds,  have  been  .assigned  to 
ithe  4th  Basic  Training  regiment 
I  and,  are  in  the  first  two  compa- 
nies' of  the  First  Battalion. 

It  was  expected  that  the  selec 
tees  would  arrive  at  the  rate  of 
2,000  a  week  and  continue  at  that 
pace  until  the  quota  of  12,000 
had  been  reached.  Present  indica- 
tions are,  however,  thta  it  will  be 
some  time  before  all  three  of  the 
regiments  of  the  Center  have 
their  full  complement  of  men. 

The  first  company  of  the  ___ 
lectees  began  their  13  weeks  of

An  Editorial 

Monday  night  the  Columbus  district  including  Fort  Benning 
experienced  an  unannounced  air-raid  blackout  which  evidently 
produced,  on  the  one  hand  a  great  deal  of  confusion  and  on 
the  other  some  indifference. 

The  confused  ones  flooded  telephone  switchboards  with 
queries  concerning  the  reason  for  the  siren  blasts,  while  the 
indifferent  ones  either  paid  no  attention  at  all  to  the  signal, 
or  passed  it  off  with  the  thought  that  there  was  a  fire  or  that 
lightning  had  set  off  the  siren.  ;. 

While  the  blackout  at  Benning  was  pronounced  very  suc- 
cessful, still  post  officials  are  quite  concerned  that  every  man, 
woman,  and.  child  on  the  reservation  get  his  or  her  signals 
straight,  and  when  a  blackout,  announced  or  otherwise,  is  sig- 
naled that  every  living  soul  give  100  per  cent  cooperation. 

These  air-raid  drills  are  serious  business.  They  give  us  the 
opportunity  to  practice  and  practice  correctly  the  exact  pro- 
cedure to  be  followed  in  case  the  real  thing  comes  along.  Just 
as  troops  who  fail  to  correct  their  errors  in  training  will  repeat 
these  errors  under  fire  and  cause  heavy  loss  of  life,  so  will 
people  who  fail  to  take  recommended,  precautions  during  black- 
out drills  invite  catastrophe  for  themselves,  their  friends,  their 
country. 

Colonel  John  P.  Edgerly,^  executive  officer  at  post  headquar- 
ters, reminds  all  military  personnel  at  Benning,  that  a  new 
chart  has  been  issued  here  explaining  the  air  raid  warning.  It 
is  so  arranged  that  it  illustrates  graphically  as  well  as  in  words, 
the  BLUE,  RED,  and  WHITE  air  raid  signals. 

"These  air  raid  drills  do  result  in  matters  of  some,  inconven- 
ience to  all  military  personnel  involved,"  Col.  Edgerly  stated. 

"Unfortunately  many  soldiers  and  civilians  fail  to  realize 
the  seriousness  of  these  drills.  Many -civilians,  who  do  not  hes- 
itate to  spend  a  substantial  sum  each  year  for  fire  protection 
against  a  fire  which  may  never  come,  resent  spending  a  few 
minutes  inconvenience  in  training  to  prevent  panic  and  disaster 
from  an  air  raid  which  they  feel  will  never  come. 

"The  military  authorities  from  the  Chief  of  Staff  down  regret 
that  they  cannot  share  this' feeling  of  confidence  regarding  the 
nonoccurrence  of  an  air  raid.  A  smug  complacency  and  re- 
fusal to  prepare  for  this  emergency  on  the  part  of  a  few  indi- 
viduals is  outright  injustice  on  others.  Carelessness ,  m  observ- 
ing or  ignorance  of-  airraid-  signals-  and  prescribed  procedure.,,. 
•  Sen  these  signals  are' given  is  ^  unjustifiable  when  one  con- 
siders the  expense  and  effort,  which  has  been  lavished  in  educat- 
ing the  public.  Carelessness  or  ignorance  on  the  part  of  military, 
personnel  is  plain  neglect  of  duty.  • 

'  "Any  town  or  community  that  fails  to  comply  with  blackout 
regulations  may  not  suffer  themselves  from  their  carelessness, 
but  their  lights  blazing  brightly  at  night  may  constitute  a 
funeral  pyre  for  some  other  town  or»community  to  which  their 
bright  lights  lead  hostile  air  craft.  We  feel  at  Fort  Benning  that 
the  responsibility  is  national  and  by  no '  means  local.  Bright 
lights  in  Columbus,  for  example,  might '  assist  materially  in 
hostile  air  craft  finding  Birmingham  or  some  other  town;,  like- 
wise, bright  lights  in  some  nearby  tomn  such  as  Thomaston 
might  prove  the  fatal  touch  for  military  personnel  at  Fort  Ben- 
ing  even  though  Fort  Benning  were  completely  blacked  out. 

"It  is  encumbent  on  every  member  of  the  military  per- 
sonnel to  be  thoroughly  conversant  with  the  black-out  regula- 
tions and  signals  and  to  be  very  scrupulous  in  observing  the 
regulations  governing  action  when  the  signals  are  sounded. 

"Like  all  of  our  people,  military  posts  hope  the  wail  of  the 
sirens  at  night  will  never  indicate  anything  more  serious  than 
an  air  raid  drill,  but  we  realize  our  obligation  to  meet  .the  more 
serious  meaning  which  these  sirens  may  have  some .  time.  We 
realize,  too,  that  it  is  not  only  for  our  own  individual  benefit 
that  we  may  suffer  a  few  minutes,  or  even  a  few  hours,  incon- 
venience but.  that  it  may  be  for  the  benefit  of  some  other  town 
or  locality  to  whish  our  lights  might  be  a  guiding  beacon  We 
also  hope  that  none  of  the  communities . may  ever  find ^them- 
selves in  a  position  of  self-accusation  or  remorse  after  some 
even  light  raid  to  which  their  carelessness  may  have  contributed.  ■ 
"It  is  understood  that  unannounced  black-outs  will  be  held  at 
frequent  intervals  in  the  future  and  that  these  black-outs  wiU 
cover  larger  and  larger  areas,  when  all  of  our  civilian  fnends 
and  nearby  military  posts  will  be  included  m  these  darkened, 
areas  LeTus  all  remember.that  the  smug,  'it  can't  happen  here 
'topping  the  game  for  our  enemies  rather  than  against  them.

Brigade,  in  the  presence  of  Col. 
James  D.  Hill,  commanding  offi- 
cer of  the  124th  and  the  assem- 
bled troops  of  the  regiment. 
CITED  BY  ALLEN 

Recipients  of  the  awards  were 
cited  by  Major  General  Leven  C 
Allen,  Commandant  of  the  Infant- 
try  School,  for  their  heroism  in 
saving  the  lives  of  a  contingent 
of  South  American  journalists 
who  were  witnessing  a  demon- 
stration of  a  river  crossing  expe- 
dients on  Upatoi  Creek  March  6 
of  this  year. 

The  men  had  completed  then- 
part  of  the  problem  and  were 
busy  on  the  bank  of  the -flood- 
swollen  stream  when  the  visitors 
were  invited  to  cross  the  newly 
constructed  loot  bridge.  They 
failed  to  keep  moving,  with  the 
result  too  much  weight  was  con- 
centrated at  one  point.  The  bridge 

THRILLING  EESCUE 

Col.  Lipscomb,  who  was  in  the 
party  with  the  journalists,  and 
the  five  enlisted  men,:  plunged 
into  the  creek    and  effected 
thrilling  rescue. 

In  a  written  commendation  to 
Col.  Hill,  Gen.  Allen  stated,  "The_ 
heroism  displayed  on  the  Upatoi, 
March  6,  by  the  men  of  your 
command,  was  a  just  reflection 
on  the  124th  Infantry  as  a  whole." 

Col.  Lipscomb  was  credited  with 
saving  the  life  of  one  man  and 
co-ordinating  the  rescue  work  of

MARCH  BY  NIGHT 
Considerable  of 'the"  marching 
was  done  at  night.. With  the  tem- 
perature" going  as  high  as  106,  1st 
Lt,  A.  Ashwond  .of.  the.  Infantry- 
Board  and  Lt.  James  F.  Harkins 
of  the  176th  deemed  it  best-to-hold 
down  the  pace  in  order  to  retain 
the  physical  fitness"  for  WHieh"  the 
march  was  planned. 

The  troops  themselves  appar- 
ently enjoyed  it— at  least  they 
gained  a  pleasant  insight  into 
Southern'  hospitality.  At  Gay, 
Georgia,  one  enterprising  citizen 
who  had  learned  the  route  of  therr 
noarch.  had  15 -gallons  of  cold  milk 
waiting  for  them. 

At  one  of  their  halts,  the  troops 
took  advantage  of  a  large  shade 
tree  on  the  lawn  of  a  private  home 
after  obtaining  permission  from 
the  owner.  Before  they  were  ready 
to  leave,  the  owner  had  roundeo 
up  enough  oranges  to  turn  out  a 
big  batch  of  orange  ade. 

On  occasions  when  they  stopped 
to  patronize  stores,  the  owners  re- 
fused to  take  their  money. 


linear-Olds 
In  Right  Church 
But  Wrong  Camp 

When  the  first  batch  of  18- 
year-old  selectees  arrived  for 
the  new  A.  S.  T.  P.  Basic 
Training  Center  at  Fort  Ben- 
ning, three  Mississippi  -boys: 
Charles  Gray  of  Meridian, 
Robert  S.  McLaurin,  Jr.,  of 
Brandon  and  U.  V.  McKib- 
ben  of  Calhoun,  debarked 
along  with  them  at  Columbus. 

Not  until  later  did  they  dis- 
cover that  they  belonged  in 
Camp  Wheeler.  They  saw  the 
group  from  Fort  Harrison  pile 
into  trucks  headed  for  the 
Harmony  Church  area  and 
figured  they  belonged  right 
with  them— In  fact,  they  in- 
sisted they  did,  because  as 
they  argued  later,  "Wasn't 
this  Camp  Wheeler?"  _ 

Upon  discovering  their  mis- 
take they  admitted  their  er- 
ror to  officers  who  made  ar- 
rangements for  them  to  con- 
tinue their  journey.  But,  the 
boys  said,  "We  didn't  go  so 
far  wrong.  Anyway,  it  was 
an  A.  S.  T.  P.  camp!"

are  now  under  way  with  the  selection  of  temporary  officials 
and  .committees,  it  was  learned  today. 
A  representative  group  of  resi-'

dents  in  the  two  communities  met 
with  the  Housing 'Authority  of  the 
project  late  in  May  to  work  but  a 
scheme  of  promoting  civic  .pride, 
and  from  the  meeting  came  plans 
for  providing  a  form  of  self  gov- 
ernment. 

A  code  has  been  "worked  out 
whereby  the  government  •  will 
consist  of  a  mayor  and  four  com- 
missioners. The  projects  will  be 
divided  into  sections;  each  section 
will  have  a  representative  coun- 
cil which  they  will  elect.  The 
mayor  and  the  commissioners  will 
be  elected,  at  large. 


Temporary  mayor  is  1st  Sgt. 
Percy  I.  Hopkins  who  headed  the 
general  committee  at  the  time  of 
establishment.  Temporary 
commissioners  are  Lt.  J.  A. 
White,  Sgt  J.  F.  Harper,  Mr.  J. 

Grayson,  arid  Mr.  W.  W.. 
Daughtry.  Permanent  officials 
will  be  elected  later,  it  is  said. 

The  Housing  Authority  has , 
turned  over  the  planning  and  op- 
eration of  the  self-government 
plan  entirely  to  the  committee, 
and  has  offered  to  lend  any  fa-

Tigers  To  Use 
Hew  First  Aid 
Combsf  Packet 

Sulfa  Powder,  Wound 
Tablet  Drugs  Included 
To  Forestall  Infection 

The  new  red  first  aid  packet, 
which,  sll  .Tigers  will  carry  into 
:ombat,  is  the  spearhead  in  the 
attack  to  insure  the  recovery  of 
the"  wounded,  soldier,  according  to 
•  Zolonel  Paul  C.  Hansen,  division 
turgeon  of  the  10th  Armored  Di- 
vision. 

Proper  use  of  this  packet  by  the 
soldier  will  greatly  increase  the 
value  of  the  medical  aid  and| 
treatment  which  he  -will  receive: 
!rdm  the  medical  detachments  of 
l.he  division. 

three  items  are  included  in  the 
red  aid  packet.  First  is  a  shaker 
envelope  with  sulfanilamide  crys- 
tals— "wound  powder"— which  is 
to  £e  sprinkled  on  the  wound. 
Second,  is  the  regulation  band- 
age which  is  to  be  used  to  bind 
up;  the  wound.  Second,  is 
regulation  bandage  which  is  to  be 
used  to  bind  up  the  wound.  Third, 
is  .the  sulfadiazine — "wound  tab- 
lets"— which  the  soldier  takes  by 
mouth,  at  the  same  time  drinking 
as  much  water  as  available.  Even 
if  no  water  is  available,  the 
wound  tablets  should  be  taken. 

if  every  soldier  makes  this  cor- 
rect usage  of  his  first  aid  packet, 
he*  makes  a  real  contribution  to 
his  own  recovery.  In  back  of  the 
first  aid  packet  are  all  the  re- 
sources of  the  medical  .  depart- 
ment. 

Each  battalion  will  be  serviced 
by;  a  unit,  of  approximately  16 
men  and  two  doctors  who  will 
operate  right  up  in  the  combat 
zone.  Mounted  in  two  armored 
half-track  ambulances,  these  unit 
medical  aid  men  will  carry  blood 
plasma,  sulfa  drugs,  and  morphine 
m^their  kits.  They  will  perform 
the  first  medical  treatment  for  the 
wounded  man,  make  him  com- 
fortable and  move  him  to  a  col- 
lecting point. 

From  here,  the  Medical  Bat- 
talion men  will  take  over.  The 
litter  and  ambulance  platoons  of 
the  medical  companies  will  move 
the  wounded  soldier  to  the  treat- 
ment platoon's  surgical  station, 
This  station,  under  the  super- 
vision  of  the  doctors  of  the  Medi- 
cal Battalion,  will  redress  the 
wound  and  prepare  the  wounded 
-man  for  hospitalization  if  it  is 
rea.uired. 

This  new,  modernized  medical 
set-up  has  already  proved -.-to  be 
highly  effective  in  the  battle 
zones  where  American  soldiers 
have  already  been  in  action. 
Wounded  men  picked  up  by  the 
medical  department  have  an 
cellent  chance  of  recovery,  < 
onel  Hansen  said.  The  record  of 
recovery  will  be  at  least  twice  as 
good  as  in  the  last  war,  and  may- 
be even  three  times  better.  Loss 
of  arms  and  legs  by  amputation 
has  been  reduced  to  the  vanishing 
joint  by  the  use  of  the  new  red 
aid  packet  since  its  drugs  prevent 
infection. 


When  it  is  necessary  to  hit  the 
ground  at  short  notice  for  your 
own  protection,  do  so  regardless 
of  mud  or  other  obstacles;  a 
thousandth  of  a  second  may  mean 
the  difference  between  life  and 
death  to  you. 


FIRST' OF  18  YEAR  OLD  SELECTEES— Arriving  at  Fort'  Benning  last  week  "were  the 
first  of  the  12,000  18-year  old  selectees,  who  will  train  for  .1.3  weeks  a  tthe  new  Basic 
Training  Center  atjhe  post.  At  the  top  the  first  arrivals  are  being  welcomed  by  Lieut.  Col. 
Robert  Garrison,  commander  of  the  First  Battalion  of  the  Fourth  Basic  Training  Regiment, 
to  which  the- traine-s  were  assigned.  Colonel  Garrison  is  shaking  hands  with  James  Ern- 
est Anderson,  of  Anderson,  Ind.-  The  picture  at  the  lower  left  shows  Daniel  W.  Reddin, 
of  North  Baltimore,  Ohio,  just  after  he  completed  the  drawing  of  equipment,  among  the 
first  duties  of  the  young  solddiers.  Although  the  event  has  not  been  reported  in  the  or- 
ders of  the  dav,  "Yardbird,"  a  canine  veteran  of  two  years'  service  in  the  Army,  has  trans- 
ferred from  'the  176th  Infantry  to  the  First  Company,  First  Battalion,  Fourth  Basic  Train- 
ing Regiment,  and. maybe  .seen  above  as  he  awated  the  arrival  of  the  first  batch  of  18  year 
old  selectees.  Wagging  his  tail  in  violent  welcome  as  the  youngsters  filed  through  the 
Companv  supply  room,  Yardbird  is  said  to  have  shown  more  life  than  since  his  rookie

I2TK  AND  BROADWAY" 


DIAL  7761 


When  the  Pathe  News  short  fea- 
ture, "Lieutenant  Smith,  U.  S. 
Army,"  is  shown  throughout  the 
nation  starting  this  month,  one  of 
the  stars  in- the  final  undoubtedly 
be  Capt.  Paul  A.  Ballantyne,  o" 
the  Third  Battalion,  Second  Stu- 
dent Training  Regiment. 

Capt.  Ballantyne  practically 
stole  the  show  in  the  film  which 
was  made  at  Fort  Benning,  even 
in  competition  with  the  Hollywood 
actor,  William  Terry,  who  played 
the  lead.  The  acting  ability  of 
Capt.  Ballantyne  caught  the  eyes 
of  Pathe  News  executives  in  New 
York,  who,  after  viewing  the  first 
takes,  called  the  director  here  to 
find  out  who  was  playing  the  part 
of  "Rafferty." 
IN  BUSINESS 

But  actually  acting  In  front  of 
the  cameras,"  or  anywhere  else 
that  goes,  was  not  a  new  experi- 
ence to  Capt.  Ballantyne:  He  has 
been  in  show  business  for  mor< 
years  than  he  likes  to  admit.  H< 
will  say,  however,  that  after  grad- 
uating from  Sherwood  Music 
School  in  Chicago  with  a_4eachers' 
certificate  of  the  pipe  organ,  that 
he  played  in  stock  companies 
Chicago  for  a  time  and  in  1931 
ent  to  New  York,  where  he  has 
spent  most  of  the  time  since. 

One  of  his  big  breaks  came  in 
1937  when  he  landed  a  lead  role 

'Brother  Rat,"  and  toured 
that  highly  successful  show  all 
er  the  country.  Another  expen- 
se he  likes  to  recal  is  playing 
Ina  Clair's  leading  man  in  "Biog- 
raphy", in  a  summer  stock  series 
in  New  England.  He  had  done 
some  work  in  motion  pictures  in 
commercial  advertising  shorts,  and 
also  did  some  work  in  radio. 

Capt.  Ballantyne  had  a  particu- 
larly difficult  part  in  "Lt.  Smith." 
The  film  is  a  sequel  to  "Private 
Smith,  U.  S.  Army,"  in  which 
Terry  also  played  the  lead,  which 
pictured  the  life  of  an  infantry 
soldier  going  -through  his  basic 
training  career.  In  "Lt.  Smith"  ne 
goes  through  OC  school  and  be- 
comes an  officer. 

Director  Slavko  Vorkapich 
picked  two  officers  from  the  In- 
fantry School  staff  to  play  OC 
Smith's  pals  throughout  the  pic- 
ture. Thus  although  the  sequences 
were  actually  taken  as  any  num- 
ber of-  OC  classes'  went  through 
the  course  here,  the  presence  of 
these  three  friends  throughout  the 
picture  gave  it  continuity. 
HAPPY-GO-LUCKY 

Rafferty  was  the  happy-go- 
lucky  member  of  the  trio,  usually 
nettjjo*  into  trouble  and  scoffing 


TIS  Civilians 
Awarded  Flag 
On  Bond  Record 

A  "Minute  Man"  flag  Is 
now  hanging  proudly  in  the 
foyer  of  The  Infantry  School 
Headquarters  at  Fort  Ben- 
ning, indicating  that  its  civil- 
ian personnel,  at  least  90  per 
cent  of  it,  is  setting  aside  at 
least  10  per  cent  of  its  sal- 
aries for  War  Bonds. 

There  are  292  civilians  em- 
ployed by  The  Infantry 
School  and,  for  the  last  two 
months,  more  than  93  per 
cent  of  them  have  set  aside 
10  per  cent  of  their  earnings 
for  bonds. 

The  highest  percentage  is 
among  the  colored  employ- 
ees. Only  one  out  of  150  has 
not  joined  the  ten  per  cent 
club. 


at  work  and  study.  In  fact  in  one 
scene  Capt.  Ballantyne  had  to  take 
a  knockout  punch  from  the  Holly- 
wood actor,  and  after  finding  out 
that  Capt.  Ballantyne  has  a  phys- 
ical training  instructor  the  direc- 
tors were  a  little  worried  about 
how  that  scene  would  work  out. 

But  Capt.  Ballantyne's  work 
drew  constant  plaudits  from  Di- 
rector Vorkapich,  and  it  meant  a 
grand  screen  test  for  the  Second 
Regiment  officer. 

Altogether  the  crew  took  a  total 
of  about  40,000  feet  of  film  here 
at  the  school,  which  is  now  being 
boiled  down  in  New  York  into  a 
two-reeler  which  will  run  about 
18  minutes  on  the  screen.

Student  Training  Brigade 
Hqs  Done  Tremendous  Job 

The  Student  Training  Brigade  under  the  in- 
spiring leadership  of  Colonel  Sevier  Tupper  has 

Ijeen  doing  a  tremendous  and  excellent  job  in 
the  training  of  the  many  thousands  of  officers, 
..officer  candidates,  and  enlisted  students  since 

its  inception  in  July  1942. 

It  is  difficult  for  many  of  us  to  realize  the 
huge  task  and  responsibilities  undertaken  by 
the  Student  Training  Brigade,  and  the  many 
obstacles  encountered  in  the  formation  of  such 
an  organization.  In  the  early  days  of  October 
1940,  the  nucleus  of  the  organization  was  part 

"of  the  Unit  School  detachment,  and  was  called 
the  Training  Regiment  Then  in  January  1941, 
this  unit  was  redesignated  the  Student  Training 
Units,  and  assigned  to  the  Infantry  School  Ser- 
vice Command.  The  strength  at  that  time  was 
2200  student  officers,  39  officre  cadre,  and  172 
enlisted  cadre. 

With  the  continued  expansian  of  training 
students,  it  was  necessary  to  form  a  2nd  Student 
Training  Regiment  in  November  1941.  The  orig- 
inal Student  Training  Units  were  split  in  two 
and  the  1st  and  2nd  Regiments  were  organized. 
Due  to  the  program  of  training  enlisted  men 
from  the  ranks  to  become  officers  the  1st  and 
2nd  Regiments  were  unable  to  handle  the  in- 
creased number  of  officer  candidates,  and  a 
3rd  Regiment  was  activated. 

After  activation  of  the  3rd  Regiment  it  was 
realized  that  these  units  needed  a  new  set-up, 
and  on  July  1,  1942,  the  Student  Training 
Brigade  was  formed.  Colonel  Tupper,  having 
had  a  vast  amount  of  experience  since  the  for- 
mation of  the  Training  Units,  was  chosen  to 
work  out  all  the  details  of  a  reorganization 
program.  With  the  splendid  cooperation  of  his 
officer  personnel  Col.  Tupper  was  able  to  devise 
a  Brigade  Headquarters  plan.  This  plan  now 
functions  with  precision  and  smoothness,  and 
few  difficulties .  are  encountered  in  the  process- 
ing and  training  of  the  students.  To  these  many 
thousands  of  officers,  officer  candidates  and  en- 
listed personnel  of  the  Student  Training  Brigade, 
Colonel  Tupper's  dynamic  personality  and  cease- 
less drive  constantly  serve  as  a  noble  inspiration. 

Since  the  Army  Specialized  Training  Program 
was  initiated,  Colonel  Tupper  has  been  selected, 
as  the  .commanding  officer  of  the  center  and 
will  retain  command  of  the  .  Student  Training 
Brigade.  The  center  of  the  new  born  units  will 
constitute  the  fourth,  fifth  and  six  regiments 
which  were  recently  provided  for  the  training 
of  the  18-qear-olds.  These  young  selectees  will 
be  given  a  course  similar  to  a  basic  rifle  com- 
pany that  will  fit  them  to  the  field  prior  to 
entering  the  various  colleges  throughout  the 
country  for  advanced  knowledge  of  highly  spe- 
cialized phases.

■Short  Sieeves'And  Pants 
Would  Be  Comfortable  Now 

The  current  laundry  crisis  plus  the  tropical 
heat  wave  which  has  engulfed  Fort  Benning 
for  the  past  week  or  so  prompts  the  BAYONET 
to  step  forward  at  this  time  with  a  suggestion 
which  it  has  long  harbored  in  its  G.I.  brain. 

Briefly  it  is  this.  Wouldn't  it  be  a  good  idea 
if  the  Army  adopted  short-sleeved,  open-collar 
shirts  and  short  pants  for  wear  by  soldiers  and 
officers  serving  in  tropical  and  semi-tropical 
areas  where  military  standards  still  place  the 
burden  on  individual  neatness  and  a  military 
appearance? 

Despite  the  many  objections  to  such  a  uni- 
form because  it  isn't  considered  too  military,  the 
BAYONET  feels  that  the  individual  soldier 
would  look  more  soldierly  than  he  does  in  the 
present  uniform  once  they  are  drenched  with 
perspiration. 

Also  it  cannot  be  doubted  that  the  laundry 
crisis  would  be  eased  considerably.  Skimpier 
uniforms  would  alleviate  it  simply  on  the  pound- 
age of  wash  that  had  to  go  through  a  Q.M. 
laundry.  Also,  the  absence  of  long  sleeves  would 
eliminate  the  cuff-pressing  problem,  while  the 
short  pants  could  certainly  be  ironed  in  much 
\ess  time. 

Besides  all  that,  it's  our  belief  that  uniforms 
would  stay  clean  for  a  longer  period  of  time 
and  thus  lessen  the  number  that  had  to  be 
cleaned.  We  all  know  that  in  this  intense  heat, 
it  is  the  collars  and  cuffs  that  get  dirtiest  the 
quickest. 

Of  course,  behind  all  of  this  is  also  the  ques- 
tion of  comfort  and  a  corresponding  increase  in 
efficiency  which  v/ould  be  brought  about  by 
such  a  change  to  a  cooler  uniform.  But  the 
laundry  crisis  lends  a  very  practical  aspect  which 
cannot  be  overlooked  as  the  cleaning  situation 
the  country  over  becomes  more  and  more  serious. 

The  Army  has  long  debated  the  problem  of 
shorts  and  never  reached  any  definite  conclu- 
sions. Perhaps  this  is  be  time  to  act! 


Mental  Meandermgs 
Of  A  Saturday  C.  Q. 

Well,  here  I  am  on  CK  again— Saturday  after- 
•  noon,  too!  Guess  it's  not  so  bad,  tho,  since  it's 
the  end  of  the  month  and"  I'm  broke  anyway. 
Most  of  the  fellows  are  gone,  and  the  rest  are 
doing  bunk  fatigue,  so  there  isn't  too  much  to 
co  Perhaps  I  can  catch  up  on  my  correspondence. 

I  wonder  who  the  OD  is  this  week-end? 
Everything  is  mighty  quiet.  Think  I'll  just  take 
fhlc  comfortable  chair  and-Oh,  hang,  there  goes 
that  telephone.  "AH  right,  operator,  if  you  will 
leave  your  number  I  will  notify  Corporal  Brown 
of  the  23th  Company  1st  STR  to  call  you.  No, 
J  can't  get  him  on  this  phone-you're  on  it. 


No,  operator,  he  doesn't  have  a  phone."  (My 
gosh,  these  operators  think  every  soldier  in  the 
Army  has  his  own  telephone!)  "Yes^  operator, 
I  know  he's  a  corporal  in.  the  First  Student 
Training  Regiment,  but  he  still  doesn't  have  a 
'phone!" 

Now  I've  lost  my  place  in  that  book  I  was 
reading.  No,  here  it  is — OOPS!  here  comes  the 
OD— guess  I  didn't  want  to  read  after  all.  "Yes, 
Sir.  Very  well,  Sir.  I  will  call  you  if  you  are 
wanted  by  anyone."  (Why  do  I  have  to  call  him, 
I  wonder?  I  can  handle  anything  that  comes  up 
around  here.)  Well,  what  do  you  know,  here  it 
is  time  for  chow. 

The  OD  just  called  from  the  other  office  and 
told  me  to  go  to  chow.  Now,  how  on  earth  did 
he  get  in  there  without  my  seeing  him?  Here 
comes  Slim.  He's  hanging  around  .because  he  has 
a  furlough  coming  through  soon.  Seems  like 
everyone  around  here  is  getting  a  furlough  ex- 
cept me.  Maybe  Slim  has  a  cigarette  on  him. 
No,  he  wouldn't  be  so  foolish  as  that 

What's  that!  "Oh,  yes,  Sir— I  guess  I  must 
have  dozed  off  for  a  moment."  That  OD  is  off 
for  another  inspection.  I  don't  see  what  he  finds 
so  interesting  around  here  to  inspect,  anyway. 
Oh,  well— "Yes,  operator,  if  you  will  leave  your 
number—." 

This  is  where  we  came  in.

Yanks  In  Cold  Climes 
Suffer  Less  From  Disease 

Many  people  are  under  the  erroneous  impres- 
sion that  cold  climates  cause  more  diseases,  es- 
pecially upper  respiratory  infections,  and  that 
colds  are  more  prevalent  in  cold  weather.  This 
is  not  true,  because  colds  are  caused  by  germs  in 
the  pure  cold  air  has  less  germs  and  thus  causes 
less  colds. 

If  men  are  crowded  •  together  in  barracks 
which  have  impure  air  and  quickly  expose  and 
chill  their  bodies,  by  moving  from  a  hot  room 
to  cold  outside  temperatures,  and  are  not  prop- 
erly clothed,  then  these  people  will  catch  colds 
more  frequently.  But  men  stationed  in  cold  clir 
mate's  and  not  herded  together  in- overcrowded 
surroundings,  and  are  well  clothed,  then  these 
people  will  have  less  colds.  

The  sick  rate  of  our  troops  stationed  in  Alas- 
ka is  about  1  per  cent,  malting  this  cold  country 
one  of  the  healthiest  spots  in  the  world.  Statis- 
tics show  that  the  sick  rate  in  Alaska  is  about 
one-half  of  that  of  the  United  States,  excluding 
epidemics. 

'This  cold  territory  with  its  blowing  winters, 
drenching  rains  and  heavy  fogs  has  such  a  low 
sick  rate,  because  there  are  ho  body  lice,  hence 
no  typhus.  There Js  very  little  venereal  disease 
because  of ^the  scarcity  of  women.  Tetanus  is 
practically  unknown  in  this  climate  because  the 
soil  is  not  contaminated  with  organisms.  There 
are  no  bed  bugs,  because  they  cannot  survive 
the  cold  weather;  also  there  is  practically  no 
malaria  because  mosquitoes  cannot  live  in  very 
cold  climates. 

Wool  clothing  is  ample  protection  against  this 
freezing  weather  of  Alaska,  and  very  few  of  our 
soldiers  stationed  there  developed  disease,  even 
during  the  coldest  weather  they  had  last  winter. 
Also  the  low  incidence  of  disease  among  our 
troops  was  aided  by  good  nutritious  foods,  warm 
woolen  clothes,  clean  water,  and  a  non-contami- 
nated soil,  with  a  practically  germ  free  atmos- 
phere. 

Parents  end  relatives  of  our  soldiers  who  are 
stationed  in  Alaska  should  be  encouraged  by  this 
low  sick  rate,  and  6hould  be  mentally  relaxed 
knowing  that  their  loved  ones  are  practically 
free  from  diseases.  g

Coiling  A  Spade  A  Spade 
Coyfd  Be  Embarrassing 

Interested  as  we  always  are  when  we  read 
displays  in  magazines  on  the  current  advertis- 
ing campaign  concerning  given  names  and  the 
origins  and  meanings  thereof,  we  wince  to  think 
what  might  happen  if  mankind,  eager  to  revert 
to  a  more  golden  era,  should  once  again  take  up 
calling  their  friends  and  people  -with  whom  they 
have  dealings  by  descriptive  phrases  in  place  of 
the  familiar  handles  like  "Mac,  Jack,  and  Joe." 

Such  a  situation  might  have  certain  serious 
repercussions  especially  in  the  Army.  But  then 
other  people  whom  Nature— or  more  specifically 
their  parents  —  favored  with  GRAND  names 
might  be  flattered  to  know  their  meinings. 

Let's  take  the  case  of  the  "eight  ball'  of  the 
platoon  named  Brutus.  What/f  the  kindly  old 
sergeant  Jabez,  began  calling  ur  hero  by  what 
his  Latin  name  means?  New  we'll  grant  many  a 
kindly  old  platoon  sergeant  probably  called  many 
an  eight  ball 'worse  than  "stupid,"  but  what  if 
our  boy,  Brutus,'  discovered  the  meaning  of 
Jabez? 

He  might  greet  him  thUsly,  "Oh,  sergeant  of 
sorrow,  one  who  gives  pain."  We  vouch  the  old 
boy  would  live  up  to  his  name  to  the  very  letter 
and  make  stupid  Brutus  "hurt."  j 

Short  of  men?  Let's  raise  our  sights  and 
Use  the  energy  spent  in  fights, 
Through  needless  friction,  hate  and  strain. 
Let's  run  our  lives  for  the  country's  gain. 


The  answer  to  manpower  shortage  is  men 
producing  more. 

"You  think  this  life  is  killing  you,"  said  an 

army  sergeant,  "but  it's  the  life  you  led  before 
you  cot  here  that's  killing  you." 


"HERE  ARE  medal  Tap  Militarj'  would  love  to  give  very  honorable  Yankee  people 
when  he  don't  buy  War  Bond,  don't  help  U.  S.  War  effort,  don't  give  dam  for  nobody 
but  self.  So  sorry  aren't  but  a  few  kind  of  Yankee— so  sorry!— for  us!!  o 


June  15,  1943,  is  a  date  that  will 
long  be  remembered  by  Fort  Ben- 
ning housewives.  On  that  date 
the  Quartermaster  laundry  will 
cease  to  take  family  bundles,  and 
on  &  at  date  many  wives  will 
cease  to  make  the  laundry  a  rou- 
tine stop  on  the  weekly  trek  with 
the  car.  . 

True,  the  Quartermaster  laun- 
dry was.  not  the  most  convenient 
thing  in  the  world.  It  had  a  habit 
of  promising  clothes  in  a  week, 
then  in  ten  days,  and  finally  we 
were  lucky  if  we  got  them  on  the 
third  desperate  trip  of  inquiry. 
However,  in  cases  of  extreme  need 
where  the  laundress  quit  without 
notice  and  the  Columbus  laun- 
dries neglected  to  pick  up  clothes 
even  after  repeated  phone  calls,  it 
was  calming  to  know  that  you 
could  deliver  soiled  clothes  to  the 
Quartermaster  laundry— although 
it  was  never  certain  when,  or  if, 
you  were  going  to  get  them 
back. 

•  •  * 
Now  even  that  mainstay  has 
forsaken  us.  Maids  are  getting 
upset  at  the  prospect  of  doing 
the  entire  family  watch,  as- 
customed  as  they  are  to  wash- 
ing out  a  few  of  the  toddler's 
unmentionables  and  letting  it 
go  at  that.  Laundresses  are 
few  and  far  between,  and 
those  women  who  are  fortun- 
ate enough  to  have  one  are 
going  to  find  themselves  con- 
doning many  an  offense  in  or- 
der to  keep  their  prized  treas- 
ure. Columbus  laundries  were 
in  at  the  kill  long  before  the 
Quartermaster  laundry,  so 
there's  no  hope  of  succor

THE  TRANSGRESSOR 
Chaplain  F.  M.  Thompson 

His  way  is  hard,  so  sayeth  the 
Good  Book.  Were  it  not  so  written 
it  would  be  just  as  true.  For  this 
is  a  moral  universe.  It  is  founded 
on  immutable  laws..  An  evil  doer 
is  fighting  against  the  stars.  He 
can  no  more  escape  the  conse- 
quence '  of  wrong  doing  than  he 
can  escape  death. 

It  Is  hard  for  him,  lt  is 
doubly  hard  for  his  friends, 
loved  ones.  Herein  lies  the 
tragedy  of  sin  the  innocent 
suffer  with  the  guilty.  A 
young  man  in"  the  heat  of  pas- 
sion or  without  passion  may 
do  the  wrong  thing,  saying, 
"Yes,  I  did  it  and  I'll  pay  the 
price." 

Alas,  he  is  not  the  only  one 
who  pays — those  who  love  him 
share  his  shame,  his  suffering. 

It  is  hard  for  him,  it  is  harder 
for  society.  Every  dishonest  poli- 
tician casts  reproach  on  every 
man  in  public  life.  Every  corrupt 
judge  brings  suspicion  on  all  the 
courts.  The  fabric  of  our  human- 
ity is  so  closely  woven,  the  mech- 
anism so  sensitive  that, 

Pluck  one  thread,  and  the  web 
ye  mar. 

Break  but  one  of  a  thousand 
keys,  .' 

And  the  paining  jar  through 
all  will  run. 

This  seems  a  very  cruel  law, 
the  just  suffering  for  the  unjust. 
But  it  is  not  as  cruel  as  it  .  seems. 
In  the  long  run  its  effects  may 
be  highly  beneficial.  There  is  need 
for  some  sort  of  restraint  to  keep 
most  people  from  running  wild. 
They  may  care  little  as  to  what 
happens  to  them  personally.  They 
are  terribly  concerned  as  to  what 
may  happen .  to  those  they  love. 
They  will  hesitate  .long,  curb 
their  dangerous  impulses,  inclin- 
ations before  they  will  cause  them 
pain  nnd  suffering; ,  So, 

I  will  be  true,  for  there  are 
those  who  trust  me, 

I  will  be  pure,  for  there  are 
those  who  care. 


Key  Says-—- 


IF  WOMEN  CAN  CUT  OWN  BREAD, 
THEY  CAN  SURVIVE  WASH  CRISIS  TOO 


{here.  Which  leaves  a  good 
many  of  us,  judging  by  the 
3,000  family  bundles  received 
by  the  Quartermaster  laundry 
in  February,  pretty  much  be- 
hind the  eight  ball. 

•  •  • 

Already  we  have  nightmarish 
dreams  involving  mounds  of 
clothes,  tubs  of  steaming  water, 
back-breaking  wash  boards,  and 
water-logged  hands.  Even  the  soap 
advertisements,  which  turn  wash 
day  from  blue  Monday  into  a  de- 
lightful adventure,  can't  convince 
us  that  a  family  wash  on  a  Geor- 
gia summer  day  is  anything  to  be 
undertaken  lightly. 

•  »  • 

However,  there's  many  a 
soldier  or  nurse  overseas  who 
would  be  grateful  for  just  a  , 
bit  of  the  abundance  of  soap 
and  water  we'll  be  using  in 
our  washes.  And-  there's  many 
a  woman  on  the  post  who  re- 
members her  mother  turning 
out  a  family  wash  before  the  ' 
days  of  machines,  and  com- 
plaining only  when  she  didn't 
have  a  sunny  day  to  dry  her. 
clothes. 

The  Daily  Bulletin  has  plenty 
of  ads  from  persons  wanting 
washing  machines.  Shucks,  I  want 
one  too.  But  lots  of  women  aren't 
going  to  get  them,  ■  and  in  some 
quarters  on  the  post  the.  bath- 
tubs are  going  to  see  double  duty. 
Hot  water  and  soap  and  a  bath- 
tub are  still  much,  much  better 
than  a  muddy  stream  in.  New . 
Guinea  or  a  frozen  tub  In  Alaska. 
I  imagine  we'll  continue  to  have 
clean  clothes.  Some  enterprising' 
reporter"  in  Atlanta,  we  recall, 
found  that  women  could  actually 
cut  bread  themselves.

The  music  was  soft  and  mellow, 
as  if  the  sharp  and  shrill  notes 
had  dulled  in  cutting  their  way 
through  the  haze  .  of  cigarette 
smoke  that  hunk  like  a  blue,  cur- 
tain in  our  corner  of  the  already 
dim-lit  and  sentimental '  Orchid 
Room.  The  blue  velvet,  didn't 
over-affect  our  table;  Em  and;  I 
had  been  married  too  long 
that,  even  though  this  was  our 
third  anniversary  party..  We  had 
long  left  the  adoring  glances  and 
affectionate  touch  of-  hands  to 
those  a  little,  newer  in  the  ectasies 
of  romance.  In  fact,  our  chief 
argument  and  issue  for  squabble 
was  that  same  subject,  that  silly 
notion  that  women-  have  .about 
keeping  love  fresh  and  new  with 
each  passing  day.  -  Of  course  I 
knew  Em  was  right.  Why  should 
I  have  practiced  it  daily  if  I 
didn't?  That  is,  of  course, ;  ex-: 
cept  in  places  where  the  general 
public  got  the  .  bigger  kick  out  of 
it.  Holding  hands  under  the 
table,  stealing  a  kiss  when  the 
lights  grow  dimmer  for  a- waltz, 
or  winking  a  sensuous  wink  over' 
a  tall,  thin-glassed  -scotch  and 
soda,  I  mean.  ■■ 

Tonight  we  were  at  it  again, 
must  have  started  it  off  .  when  I 
pointed  out  a  young  soldier"  who 
was  visably  showering  his  love  on 
a  very  attractive  and  youthfully 
fresh  looking  young  lady.  Em 
thought  it  was  "cute",  but  she  was 
referring  to  the  love,  scene  being 
enacted.  I  thought,  it  was  "cute", 
too, -but  I  Was  speaking  about  this 
golden-blocked .  vision  in  a  pale 
blue  evening  gown,  a  gown  which 
reminded  me  of  those  Junior  Prom 
days  back  at  old  M.  H.  S,  As  for 
the  love  scene,  I.  expressed  the 
opinion  that  people  are  too  dra- 
matic when  they  hold  hands  in 
night  clubs. 

Well,  sir,  that's  the  way  the  ar- 
gument started.  Each  new  drink 
found  as  dragging  out  new 
theories.  Whether  love-  can  flour- 
ish in  stuffy  niteries,  whether 
squeezing  hands  means,  more  than 
wisely  chosen  words,  whether 
love  grows  quicker  in  proportion 
to  how  tightly  two  dancers  hold 
one  another. 

And  so.  we  watched  the  couple 
in  the  corner.  The  soldier,  so 
heat  and  well  groomed;  the  girl, 
young  and  attractive.  Our 
watching  grew  out  of  the  discus- 
sion,' and  then  into  speculation. 
When  they  passed  our  table  to 
reach  the  dance  floor  I  summed 
up  his  insignia  and  found  myself 
understanding  things  a  little  bet- 
ter. His  unit  of  the  Engineers 
had  just  arrived  from  the  inland 
camp  and  were  all  set  to  jump  off 
for  God-knows-where  in  the  very 
near  future.^,  I  should  know, 
had  a  lot  to  do  with  getting  the 
supplies  together  for  the  convoy, 
I  didn't  tell  Em  what  I  knew.  She 
was  too  busy  malting  speculations 
of  her  own.  "The  kids  are  prob- 
ably finishing  up  the  time  left 
with  this  evening  to  remember' 
1  didn't  tell  Em  how  close ;  she 
must  have  come  to  the  real  thing. 
But  I  still  thought  that  squeezing 
hands  is  insipid  lover-making  when 
done  in  public. 


The  kids  left  shortly  after 
eleven. '  Em  and  I  were  all  set  to 
leave,  too.  It  took  some  wild  ges- 
tures, but  the  waiter  finally  found 
his  way  to  "our.  table.  Old  "43" 
was  rather  talkative;  -  something 
unusual  in  the  Orchid  Room.  He 
must  have  heard  our  conversation 
during'  the  evening.  He  must 
have  •  heard  me  telling  Em  how 
silly  it  looks  to. see  people  mak- 
ing love  by  squeezing  hands,  or 
dancing  too  close. 

"Nice  couple  that  just  left",  old 
"43"  spoke.  "I  feel  so  sorry  for 
the  kids.  Most  people  don't  even 
realize  what's  wrong,  '.They've 
been  here,  several  times  the  last 
couple  of  weeks.  Most  folks  don't 
know^  she's  blind.  Did  you  notice 
how  the  soldier  kept  holding  her 
hand  to  keep  her  from  getting 
frightened?" 

As  we  got  up  to  leave  I  took 
Em's  hand  in  mine  and  held  it 
tightly  for  a  moment.  I  held  on 
longer.  I  squeezed  her  hand  in 
mine,  Then  turned  to  "43",  "Yes 
we  noticed",  I  said.

AN  ODE  TO  TIGER  CAMP 

A  blistering  day-,  and  stifling  dust, 
Old  Sol  was  on'the  tramp; 
And  we  of  Service  Com-pan-y  . 
Were  out  in  Tiger  Camp. 
A  four-mile  hike  (we  really  ran),  , 
And  then  we  rest  awhile; 
'Jap  In  The  Grass"  is  coming  next, , 
(We  walk  another  mile). 
With  feet  all  wet  from  sloppy  mud 
We  must  tramp  one  mile  more 
And  doff  our  clothes  and  have  a 
swim 

Upon  a  sandy  (??)  shore. 
'The  strength  test's  coming  up," 

you  say, 
"Well,  I'll  just  show  .them  now," 
And  so  with  creaking  bones  you

And  prance  off  with  a  bow. 
Three  hundred„yards  in  fifty  flat!! 
And  I  thought  I  was  flying; 
And  then  some  push-ups,  burpees 
too, 

Oh,  man,  I  think  I'm  dying!!! 
But  wait,  you've  got  another  thing, 
a  course  called  infiltration, 
With  shell  holes,  mud  and  barbed 

wire  fence,  ■ 
What  next  in  all  creation? 
Explosions  rack  my  aching  brain, 
And  barbs  have  torn  my  clothing. 
And  in  those  stagnant  water  holes 
I've  found  a  secret  loathing. 
But  now  we've  finished,  flopped 

and  fagged; 
We  throb  in  every  fiber 
But  look,  for  from  ihat  kitten's 

Meow", 
There  comes  a  mighty  tiger. 
Oh,  Tiger  Camp,  oh,  Tiger  Camp. 
With  all  your  fascination; 
There'll  never  quite  be  one  like 
you, 

If  so,  where  in  tarnation?1

ciency of  workers  in  war  plants 
throughout  the  nation.  But,  the 
institution  of  daily  sessions  of 
"iumpin'  jive"-,  and  "boogie 
woogie"  has  scored  wonaers  since 
i'  has  been  introduced  at  the 
sacking  section  of  the  Parachute 
School. 

In  the  Packing  sheds,  where  all 
aspiring  paratroops  are  taught 
'he  Irving  manner  in  which  they 
must"  "pack  their  'chutes,  the  task 
is  a  strenuous  one.  Many  a  G.  -I.

•"Major  Alton  R.  Taylor,  of 
Clarksdale,  Mississippi,  Director 
of  Parachute  Training  at  the 
School,  "recently  experimented 
with  the  hardy  paratroops  in  the 
Backing  sheds.  He  introduced  lilt- 
ine  strains  of  smooth  music,  then 
the  soothing  melodies  of  the  Ink 
Spots,  and  finally  "boogie  woo- 
gie."

the  time  .  needed  for  packing 
chutes.  Major  Taylor  disclosed 
that  "boogie  woogie '  was  what 
the  men  liked  best.  Packing  was 
done  efficiently.  And  the  time 
needed  to  pack  chutes  decreased 
by  30  ner  cent  from  the  era  of 
"all  work  and  no  music."

been  installed  in  the  packing  shed

'  Rechtshaffen  Says 
Ke  Would  Like  To 
Show  Allies  Targets 

Officer  Candidate  Oscar  Recht- 
shaffen  let  out  whoops  of  joy  the 
other  evening  in  his  barracks 
when  he  read  in  the  papers  that 
his  "old  hometown"  had  been  sub- 
jected to  a  merciless  bombing. 
Rechtshaffens  "old  hometown 
happens  to  be  Duisberg,  Germany, 
major  Rhineland  industrial  city, 
and  Rechtshaffen,  who  has  ex- 
perienced Hitler  persecution,  says: 

"Wish  I  could  have  been  with 
the  R.  A.  F.  to  show  them  a 
pie  of  good  targets."  . 

Rechtshaffen  is  training  for  his 
second  lieutenant's  •  bars  in  the 
Fourth  Company  of  the  Third 
Student  Trainine  Regiment,  com- 
ing here  from  trk  12th  Armored 
Division,  in  which  he  was  a  ra- 
dio instructor.  He  speaks  Polisn, 
German  and  Hebrew  and  was  a 
student  at  New  York .  University 
before  entering  the  Army. 

The  candidate  spent  his  boy' 


hood  in  Duisberg.  His  life  was  tne 
same  as  that  of  any  other  school- 
boy until  he  reached  h«12th 
birthday  anniversary  in  193d  si- 
multaneous with  Hitler  s  ascen- 
sion to  power.  From  then  on, 
Rechtshaffen,  the  only  Jewish 
boy  in  his  junior  high  school  class, 
had  to  sit  at  the  rear  of  the  class- 
room in  a  yellow  chair,  labeled 

JChums  of  better  days  refused 
to  speak  to  him  after  the  perse- 
cution but  Rechtshaffen  can  re- 
call their  enthusiasm,  even  then, 
of  growing  up  to  serve  in  the 
German  army.  "They  were  all 
^oing  to  be  soldiers  and  I,  as  a 
Jew,  could  not  expect  to  join 
them,"  Rechtshaffen  said. 

"Won't  they  be  surprised  to  see 
me,  though,"  he  added,  musingly. 

When  conditions  became  intol- 
erable in  Germany,  Rechtshaffen 
was  sent  to  Palestine,  where  he 
attended  an'  agricultural  college 
for  two  years.  He  came  to  this 
country  in  1937,  j loinin g  his  par- 
ents, whose  property  m  Germany 
was  confiscated.

Legislation  placing  the  WAAC 
xu  the  Army  of  the  United  States 
has  been  approved  by  the  House 
of  Representatives  this  week, 
with  several  slight  changes  over 
the  bill  which  was  recently  pass- 
ed by  the  Senate. 


New  Child  Care 
Center  Planned 

Benning  Civilian  Mothers 
Asked  To  Fill  In  Blanks 

Civilian  mothers  working  at 
Fort  Benning  whose  children  are 
not  conveniently  located  to  the 
two  already  established  Child 
Care  Centers  in  Columbus  are 
asked  to  fill. in  blanks  recently 
sent  out  by  the  Muscogee  county 
Department  of  Public  Welfare  for 
the  establishing  of  a  new  center. 

The  first  Child  Care  Center  in 
Columbus  was  established  in  the 
Peapobdy  Housing  Project  district 
and  takes  care  of  many  children 
in  that  section.  The  Linwood  Day 
Center  is  the  second  ofsuch  ren- 
ters for  working  mothers,  at  940 
Twenty-seventh  street. 

For  lack  of  interest,  the  Center 
in  the  Booker  T.  Washington 
Housing  Project  for  colored  chil- 
dren was  discontinued,  but  plans 
are  underway  for  establishing  two 
in  other  sections  of  Columbus. 
One  will  be  established  in  the 
Poug  street  school  beyond  the 
Jordan  Mills,  and  the  other  in 
the  Shady  Grove  chuECh,  corner 
of  Nineteenth  and  Second  avenue 
GOVERNMENT  HELPS 

The  government  puts  up 
amount  equal  to  that  given  by  any 
civilian  agency,  person,  or  by  the 
fees  paid  to  the  centers  for  the 
care  of  children.  A  business  wo- 
man's club  of  Columbus  pays 
$20  per  month  and  the  govern- 
ment meets  that  amount,  making 
it  $40. 

Fees  are  $2  per  week  for  col' 
ored  children  and  $3  for  white 
children,  less  10  per  cent  for  each 
additional  child  from  the  same 
family.  This  includes  orange 
juice  in  the  morning,  their  regu- 
lar vegetable  dinner  in  the  middle 
of  the  day,  and'erackers  and  milk 
for  the  afternoon  snack. 

Miss  Neva  West  is  head  of  this 
department,  which  at  present  has 
its  office  in  the  Muscogee  County 
Department  of  Public  Welfare. 

Any  mother,  colored  or  white, 
interested  in  the  projects,,  may 
communicate  with  Miss  West  at

Post  Survey  Shows 

Styling  food  menus  to  more 
nearly  match  soldier  appetites, 
and  installing  a  new  system  of 
ration  counts  are  the  result  of  a 
survey  conducted  at  Fort  Ben- 
ning and  three  other  large  army 
posts,  during  the  early  part  of 
1942.  The  survey  and  changes 
made  netted  an  estimated  saving 
of  more  than  3,200,000  pounds  of 
food,,  based  on  army  of  4,500,000, 
according  to  Major  General  E.  B, 
Gregory,  The  Quartermaster 
General,  in  a  recent  report. 

Outstanding  revelations  of  the 
survey  showed  over-preparation 
caused  by  absenteeism,  and  leav-

responsible  for  the  greatest  loss-

The  survey  revealed  that  foods 
left  on  plates  were  the  less  popu- 
lar ones,  particularly  was .  this 
true  as  regards  such  foods  as  liv- 
er and  spinach.  An  interesting 
twist  became  apparent  when  it 
was  shown  that  frankfurters, 
while  not  the  most  popular  meat, 
had  the  lowest  "leavings"  figure, 
This  is  because  of  lack  of  bones, 
coupled  with  the  fact  that  once 
accepting  them,  the  soldier  us- 
ually consumes  the'  entire  mor- 
sel. More  complete  tests  proved 
roast  beef  is  the  serviceman's  fa- 
vorite meat. 
SOUPS  LEFT  OVER 

Ranking  highest  in  left-overs 
was  soup,  indicating  little  de- 
mand. Fresh  vegetables,  cereals, 
noodles  and  fish  appeared  next 
on  the  soldier's  not-well  liked 
list.  J    .  , 

Taking  a  composite  typical 
dinner  as  basis  for  anlysis,  it  was 
found  leavings  were  highest  in 
consumption  of  kale,  a  green 
leafy  vegetable,  and  vegetable 
soup.  Following  these  in  :  order 
were,  coffee,  cole  slaw,  mashed 
potatoes,  roast  beef,  znd  finally 
fruit  salad.  Similar  results -were 
produced  using  a  typical  supper, 
with    left-overs    running  down 


through  beef  stewj  kidney  beans, 
coffee,  and  gelatine.

•  Candidate  V.  M.  Rutledge  of 
the  24th  Company,  Third  Student 
Training  Regiment,  has  been  just 
about  everything  under  the  sun, 
j  airplane  pilot,  teacher,  entertainer 
all  coach  and  Chamber  of 
Jcr-imerce  welcomer,  to  mention 
a  few  occupations,  so  he  is  not  in 
the  least  timid  about  embarking 
on  his  new  career. 

He  is  not  bothered  by  the  fact 
he  no  longer  is  a  spring  chicken, 
either.  The  other  day  a  fellow 
candidate  inquired:  "Don't  you 
think  you  are  a  bit  old  for  this 
stuff,  Pop?"  "Heck,  no,"  Rut- 
i  ledge  replied.  "I'm  just  a  year- 
ling. Life  begins  at  40,  you  know. 
I  was  41  a  few  days  ago." 

They  may  call  his  "Rut'  in  his 
company  but  he  certainly  has  not 
spent  his  life  in  one.  Following 
his  graduation  from  Southwest- 
ern College  in  1924  with  an  A.  B 
degree  and  a  football  letter,  Rut- 
ledge  took  up  high  school  teach- 
ing and  athletic  coaching  bu 
soon  abandoned  these  pursuits  to 
start  a  15-year  tour  of  the  coun- 
try as  an  entertainer,  singing 
cowboy  ballads  and  strumming 
a  guitar.  He  also  appeared  in 
several  "hoss  opera"  movies  and 
has  been  on  the  radio.  As  a 
Chamber  of  Commerce  recreation 
director,  he  directed  the  nation- 
ally famous  Colorado  Springs 
chuck  wagon  dinners.  He  even 
found  time  one 'winter  to  manage 
a  ski  club. 

Last  fall  he  decided  the  Rut- 
ledge  representation  in  the  Army 
should  be  increased— an  older 
brother,  Cecil,  is  a  colonel  of  in- 
fantry and  once  was  sfetioned  at 
Fort  Benning— so  he  enrolled  as 
a  VOC  and  took  his  basic  at  Camp 
Wolters  Tex.  To  date  he  has  a 
scholastic  average  of  "A",  has 
made  expert  with  the  M-l  and 
light  machine  gun  and  missed  ex- 
pert on  the  heavy  machine  gun 
by  only  three  points.  ■

HATS  OFF  to  the  crack  Parachute  School  nine  which  turned 
the  first-half  race  in  the  Fort  Benning  league  into  a  runaway  after 
£  bad  start.  In  losing  their  opening  game,  TPS  showed  little  prom- 
ise but  once  the  Skyjumpers  began  to  click,  they  moved  on  all 
cylinders  and  grabbed  seven  wins  in  succession  to  take  the  gonfalon. 
Much  of  the  credit  belongs  to  Capt.  George  Johnson  for 
leadership  end  patience  in  developing  the  team.  TPS  now  rates 
6E  one  of  the  hardest  hitting  aggregations  on  the  post  and  they 
are  bound  to  give  the  Infantry  School  loop  champ  a  great  battle 
for  post  laurels. 
The  first-half  schedule  in  the  Fort  Benning  League  came  to 
En  end  Tuesday  night,  but  the  Paratroopers  won't  be  idle  during 
the  interim  between  now  and  the  play-off  dates  early  in  July.  They 
have  already  played  two  games  with  camp  Stewart  and  have  an- 
other pair  coming  up  as  well  as  a  brace  of  tilts  with  the  137th 
Infantry  from  Camp  Rucker  and  the  improved  Columbus  Foxes. 

IF  THE  PROFS  of  the  Academic  Regiment  continue  their  steady 
parade  to  the  altar,  Sgt  Milton  Luban,  their  ace  publicity  man, 
will  be  forced  to  change  the  name  of  the  current  TIS  leaders  to  the 
Benedicts.  In  less  than  two  weeks  recently,  three  of  the  diamond 
tossers  were  married.  First  it  was  Elmer  Neibler,  crack  centerfielder, 
then  Rudy  Rundus,  the  elongated  pitcher.  And  just  last  Saturday, 
Cehster  Dabbs,  another  gardener,  took  the  fatal  step.  Now  its 
rumored  that  Benny  Zientara's  getting  similar  ideas,  but  his  bride- 
to-be  is  a  Chicagoan,  so  Ben's  marital  venture  will  have  to  wait 
until  his  next  furlough-which  might  to  be  till  the  baseball  seasons 


THIS  FELLOW  Claude  Shoemake  of  the  774th  Tank  Des- 
troyers is  really  the  talk  of  the  10th  Armored  Division  in  base- 
ball  circles.  He's  practically  a  one-man  cyclone.  Besides  sharing 
tie  for  batting  supremacy  in  the  Cusseta  League  with  a  healthy 
.f  75  average,  Shoemake  is  the  team's  star  pitcher  and  turned  m 
s,  beautiful  job  at  Gowdy  on  Saturday  when  he  set  down  the 
favored  455th  Coast  Artillerymen  in  the  opening  play-off  game. 
Critics  claim  he's  the  best  player  in  the  division,  although  he  has 
played  very  little  pro  ball.  Hails  from  right  close  by  in  Sargent, 
Ga,,  and  you're  quite  likely  to  hear  more  about  him  at  war's  end. 


SPEAKING  OF  STARS,  there's  one  Benning  player  who  will 
be  the  rage  if  he  ever  hits  the  big  time  which  he's  almost  sure 
to  do  It's  Red  McCluskey,  the  red  hot  third  sacker  on  the  Student 
Training  Brigade  entry,  who  right  now  is  batting  a  cool  .600  or  so 
in  the  Infantry  School  League.  A  fine  fielder  with  a  strong  arm 
and  plenty  of  speed,  he  is  definitely  a  comer. 

Red  played  last  year  with  Cedar  Rapids  in  the  famed  Three-I 
and  was  slated  for  Montreal  in  the  International  this  year.  Hes  the 
property  of  the  Brooklyn  Dodgers  and  if  he  ever  takes  over  toe  hot 
corner  at  Ebbets  FieM,  he'll  surely  be  an  idol  what  with,  his  flaming 
red  hair,  fiery  nature  and  colorful  play. 

ONE  BENNING  athlete  who  was  particularly  saddened  by 
the  news  of  the  untimely  death  of  Nile  Kennick,  Iowa's  famed 
footballer,  is  Erwin  Prasse,  Academic  Prof  third  baseman,  who 
was  a  team  mate  of  the  AU-American  back  on  one  of  the  great- 
est Hawkeye  elevens.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  it  was  Prasse,  a  great 
end  in  his  own  right,  who  caught  a  passthrown  by  Kinnick  in 
the  stunning  defeat  handed  Minnesota's  mighty  Gophers  during 
the  193S  campagin.  •         ,      ,.  . 

That  was  the  year  that  Iowa  swept  to  six  wins  and  a  tie  in 
eight  encounters  against  the  cream  of  the  midwest  The  13-£ I  last 
ouarter  win  over  Minnesota  and  a  7-6  win  over  the  Irish  of  Notre 
Dame  highlighted  the  campaign.  Kinnick  was  rated  as  one  of  me 
best  players  of  the  year  and  was  an  excellent  passer.  Prasse  was 
on  the  receiving  end  of  most  of  those  heaves. 

The  Prof  third  sacker  was  a  three-sport  star  at  Iowa  and 
went  on  after  college  to  play  professional  baseball  and  basket* 
ball.  In  the  court  game,  he  played  with  the  famed  Gshkosh 
All-Stars  which  means  that  his  presence  in  the  Academic  Regi- 
ment will  also  bolster  Prof  hopes  for  a  basketball  title  next 
winter.  Meanwhile  Prasse  is  doing  a  bang-up  job  at  the  hot 
corner  for  the  Profs  and  swing  his  big  bat  in  the  batting 
order's  No.  5  spot.  He  is.  a  dangerous  long  range  hitter. 

SPORT  SHOTS — Fans  are  already  looking  forward  to  the  July 
2nd  date  when  the  300th  meets  the  Profs  and  the  distinct  possibility 
that  Lefty  Francis,  now  tutoring  the  300th,  will  pitch  against  his 
old  mates.  .  .  .  Speaking  of  the  300th  reminds  this  corner  to  sug- 
gest that  they  adopt  the  name  of  "Triplets"  which  would  be  suit- 
able and  make  it  a  little  easier  to  write  about  them  without  con- 
tinually repeating  numerals.  .  .  .  One' of  the  largest  crowds  of  the 
season  is  expected  to  witness  the  Service  League  opener  tonight 
.  and  some  good  baseball  is  in  prospect  with  sevral  former  pro  stars 
on  both  teams.  .  .  .  There  are  rumors  floating  around  about  a  post 
golf  tournament  but  nothing  has  materialized.  .  .  .  The  recent  heat 
wave  has  made  most  folks  uncomfortable,  but  not  the  baseball 
pitchers.  They  love  it  and  some  of  the  recent  mound  performances 
at  Gowdy  speak  for  themselves.

Prendergast  Triumphs 
Over  Dickinson  In 
2-1  Mound  Duel 

BY  SGT.  MILTON  LUBAN 

It  had  to  happen  someday!  And 
the  Student  Training  Brigade  de- 
cided there  was  no  time  like  the 
present.  So,  on  Sunday  afternoon, 
led  by  burly  Jim  Prendergast  on 
the  mound,  they  hauled  off  and 
socked  the  Academic  Regiment 
Profs  right  into  the  defeat  col- 
umn, handing  the  Profs  their  first 
licking  of  the  season  after  the 
Academics  had  piled  up  nine 
straight  Infantry  School  League 
victories.  The  score  was  2  to  1. 
MOUND  DUELS 

As  anticipated,  the  game  was  a 
beautiful  pitching  duel  between 
Prendergast  and  Dickinson,  both 
pitchers  hurling  eight  scoreless 
innings.  But.  the  Profs  could  only 
squeeze  across  one  run  in  the  first 
on  an  error,  single  and  infield 
out,  while  the  Brigadiers  explod- 
n  the  fifth-  with  a  single  and 
two  successive  doubles  for  their 
two  runs. 

The  Brigade  triumph,  plus  its 
Monday  win  over  the  244th  Field 
Artillery,  pulled  the  team  into  a 
second-place  tie  with  the  300th 
Infantry. 

The  second  game  of  the  double- 
header  saw  the  124th  Infantry 
come  from  behind  to  smack  the 
176th  Spirits,  5  to  4,  marking  the 
sixth  consecutive  triumph  for  the 
Gators. 

McCLUSKEY  RAGES 

Most  spectacular  Individual 
streak  of  Red  McCluskey,  Brigade 
third-baseman,  who  boosted  his 
batting  mark  to  .545,  18  hits  in 
eight  games,  including  seven  dou- 
bles, a  triple  and  two  homers. 

Holding  the  spotlight  next  week 
is  the  game  between  the  300th 
and  the  124th  at  Harmony  Church 
on  Sunday.  Both  teams  have  been 
on  a  rampage  and  two  winning 
streaks  of  six  games  each  will 
collide  when  the  clubs  face  each 
other.  On  the  same  bill  the  Stu- 
dent Training  Brigade  will  take 
on  a  strong  176th  team  which  is 
much  tougher  than  its  record  in- 
dicates. Meanwhile  the  Profs  will 
be  playing  the  Columbus  Foxes 
at  Golden  Park. 
RIFLES  ERRATIC 

Tomorrow  night  the  Brigade 
meets  the  71st  Engineers  in  an 
easy  game  while  the  Profs  take 
on  the  erratic  Rifles  who  seem  to 
delight  in  losing  to  the  weak 
teams  and  knocking  off  the  tough 
ones.  The  Rifles  pulled  a  typical 
stunt  in  beating  the  powerful 
Foxes  last  Sunday. 

On  Monday  the'  Rifles  clash 
with  the  176th  Spirits  who  will  be 
gunning  for  revenge  over  the  8-1 
pasting  the  Rifles  handed  them  in 
their  first  meeting.  At  Harmony 
Church,  the  same  evening,  the 
Profs  will  be  having  their  hands 
full  with  the  scrappy  Gators. 
300TH  VS.  BRIGADE 

Next  Wednesday  will  see  an- 
other highlight  when  the  500th 
and  the  Brigade  fight  it  out  for 
possession  of  second  place.  The 
winner  will  be  in  a  strong  posi- 
tion to  challenge  the  Profs  for 
the  first-half  championship,  while 
the  loser  might  just  as  well  re- 
sign itself  to  making  plans  for  the 

cond  half.

Parachute  Nine. 
Captures  Title 
In  Post  League 

Borden  Hurls  TPS  To 
10-0  Triumph  Over 
24th  Hospital 

The  powerful  Parachute  School 
nine  won  the  first-half  title  in  the 
Fort  Benning  League  last  Thurs- 
day night  when  the  skyjumpers 
blanked  the  24th  General  Hos- 
pital by  a  10-0  count  in  an  en- 
counter at  Gowdy  Field.. 

Pete  Borden,  fireball  right- 
hander, on  the  mound  for  TPS, 
hurled  superlative  ball  all  the 
way,  setting  the  Medicos  down 
with  three  scane  hits  and  fanning 
eleven  of  them. 

The  24th  lads  threatened  se- 
riously in  only  one  frame,  the 
seventh,  when  they  placed  men  on 
second  and  third  on  a  hit  and 
walk  with  none  out.  However, 
Borden  hitched  up  its  belt  and 
proceeded  to  strike  out  the  next 
three  men,  to  sew  up  the  ball 
game. 

TPS  backed  up  Borden's  fine 
mound  effort  with  a  12-hit  attack 
on  the  Medico  hurler  and  scored 
its  runs  at  will.  Kinard  and  Por- 
terfield  were  the  big  guns  in  the 
paratrooper  hit  column. 
-  The  10-0  win  was  the  seventh 
straight  victory  for  the  Parachute 
School,  which  swept  to  the  title 
without  trouble  after  losing  its 
first  loop  test.  TPS  ended  the  race 
with  a  full  two-game  margin  over 
the  second-place  teams.

Christie  Stars 
As  Gators  Grab 
Two  More  Tilts 

Hurler  Gains  Credit 
For  Both  Victories 
In  3-Day  Period 

Lew  Christie,  stellar  right  hand- 
er  for  the  124th  Infantry  Gators, 
pulled  an  iron  man's  stunt  in  de- 
feating the  Benning  Rifles,  5  to  3, 
Friday  at  Harmony  Church  Field 
and  the  176  Infantry  Spirits,  5  to 
4,  Sunday  at  Gowdy  Field,  to 
stretch  the  Gators  win  streak  to 
six  straight.  !  ■ 

The  revived  124th  team  has 
taken  on  the  appearance  of  the 
Brooklyn  Bums,  as  they  just  won't 
be  beat  and  are  a  fighting  pack 
that  is  out  to  win  and  playing 
great  ball. 
THREE-HITTER  /■ 

Against  the  Rifles,  Christie  kept 
the  batters  eating  out  of  his  hand 
and  allowed  but  three  hits.  Of  the 
Gators'  7  hits,  three  were  collected 
by  Sammy  Inoff,  lead-off  man  and 
shortstop,  who  opened  the  game 
with  a  smashing  triple  down  the 
third  base  line./  Hanvey  singled 
to  knock  Inoff'  in  with  the  first 
run  of  the  game.  After  Sam 
Sharp  bingled  and  the  Rifles  had 
stopped  booting  the  ball,  three  runs 
were  over  to  put  the  Gators  out 
'   front  never  to  be  headed. 

Sunday  against  the  176,  Coach 
Don  Shaffer  started  "Lefty"  Cis- 
gen,  a  newcomer  to  the  Gators. 
The  big  left  hander,  overcome 
with  the  heat  in  the  second  in- 
ning, faltered  and  walked  in  one 
run  and  loaded  the  bases  with  two 
outs.  Christie  came  to  the  rescue 
and  proceeded  to  fan  Compton,  the 
176th  catcher,  to  quell  the  upris- 
ing. 

In  the  fourth,  Christie  took  on 
a  wild  streak  and  walked  Cartazzo 
and  Veimeyer,  Lukowitch's  single 
sent  one  run  home  and  an  error 
let  two  more  filter  in  to  run  the 
Spirit  lead  to  4  to  0. 
BELIN  HITS  HARD 

Burks  and  Ankrom  started  off 
the  Gator  half  of  the  fourth  with 
singles  and  came  home  on  Belin's 
bingle  and  Belin  tripling  to  deep 
center.  Tony  Gallo  laid  a  perfect 
bunt  down  the  first  base  line  to

unit's  snappy  band. 
TITLE  FAVORITES 

The  game  itself  will  bring  to- 
gether two  of  the  title  favorites 
in  the  colored  circuit.  The  Pan- 
thers, tutored  by  Lieut.  Jack 
Gushin,  have  already  engaged  in 
several  practice  frays  and  been 
quite  impressive.  The  Reception 
Center,  on  the  other  hand,  is 
relatively  untested,  but  boasts  a 
wealth  of  talent. 

Two  outstanding  former  pro 
stars  are  expected  to  form  the 
battery  for  the  R.  C.  outfit.  Roy 
Welmaker,  a  crafty  lefthander, 
who  is  slated  for  mound  duty,  has

Black  Crackers;  the  Macon 
Peaches,  the  Philadelphia  Stars 
and  the  Homestead  Grays.  The 
latter  two  are  Negro  National 
League  nines.

Former  Racers  iraTiger  Division 
Hope  t©  Meet  at  Indianapolis 


The  Indianapolis  speed  classic 
of,  say,  1946  or  1947,  should  be  a 
case  of  Tiger  vs.  Tiger.  There  are 
two  members  of  the  10th  Armored 
'Tiger"  Division,  anyway,  who 
hope  to  be  entered  in  "the  500- 
miler"  after  the  war  is  over:  CpL 
Milton  Fankhauser  of  Division 
Headquarters  Co.  and  Sgt.  Vernon 
E.  Tharp  of  Co.  A,  Maintenance 
Battalion. 

Both  have  made  a  living  from 
the  gruelling  racing  business, 
Fankhauser  <for  eight  years  an! 
Tharp  for  four,  and  both  have 
zoomed  over  tracks  all  over  the 
country.  Both  have  "taken  flips" 
(race  track  lingo  for  cracking  up) 
and  both  have  had  miraculous  es- 
capes. 

Fankhauser,  who  is  rated  among 
the  first  10  race  drivers  of  the 
Central  States  Racing  Assn.,  drove 
his  first  race  at  Sacramento,  Cali- 
fornia, about  nine  years  ago.  Since 
then  he  has  raced  on  every  major 
speedway  in  the  country,  with  the 
single  exception  of  Indianapolis. 
He  holds  track  records  all  over  the 
U.  S.  and  in  1935  won  the  Cana- 
dian championship. 
BUILDS  HIS  OWN 

He  has  always  built  his  own 
equipment  and  even  now  has  a 
brand  new  speedwagon  which  he 
designed  and  built,  waiting  to  hit 
the  tracks  as  soon  as  peace  comes. 
The  car  with  which  he  made  the 
most  money  was  a  high-powered 
job  which  cost  him  $3500  but 
which  paid  for  itself  many  times 
over.  It  won  seven  races,  setting 
track  records  in  two  of  these,  and 
never  came  in  worse  than  second 
during  its  long  life — until  last  year, 
a  few  months  before  Fankhauser 
decided  to  forget  abou  tracing  and 
offer  his  services  to  the  Army. 

The  end  of  the  car  came  at  Ak- 
ron, Ohio,  when  Fankhauser,  after 
pulling  up  from  15th  to  third  place, 
tried, to  get  in  second  place.  He 
clipped  the  man  in  front  of  him, 


struck  the  wall  outside  of  the 
track— and  seven  cars  behind  piled 
into  him.  When  the  smoke  clear- 
ed, the  car  was  junk  and  Fank- 
hauser had  a  crushed  hand.  It 
was  the  worst  accident  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  Akron  track  and  the 
worst  Fankhauser  ever  experienc- 
ed. During  his  racing  career  he 
"took  a  flip"  seven  times  and  es- 
caped injury  all  but  the  last  time. 

"I've  been  pretty  darned  lucky," 
he  expresses  it,  concisely. 

Right  now  Fankhauser  Is  doing 
tank  maintenance  work  for  Divis- 
ion Headquarters  Co.,  having  just 
rteurned  from  a  three-months' 
course  tt  Fort  Knox,  Ky,  He  is 
burning  for  action  and  for  a  very 
good  reason:  he  joined  the  Army 
because  his  brother  was  killed  last 
August  at  Guadalcanal. 
SPEED  MERCHANT 

The  second  candidate  of  the  10th 
Armored  for  some  future  Indian- 
apolis thriller  is  Sgt.  Tharp  of  the 
Maintenance  Battalion,  who  began 
racing  in  Michigan  in  1939.  Vet- 
eran of  many  speed  events 
throughout  the  country-,  Tharp  had 
one  bad  accident  at  Davidson, 
Mich.,  early  in  his  career  when  his 
car  struck  another  vehicle  and 
did.  a  series  of  flips.  When  lie 
woke  up  in  the  hospital  the  fol- 
lowing morning,  Tharp  was  con- 
siderably  pleased  to  find  tha  the 


had  sustained  only  a  slight  knee 

"inTwo  Tharp  began  driving  the 
'big  jobs,"  including  the  famed 
Hispano,  and  he  kept  on  driving 
them  until  1942  when  he  came  into 
the  Army. 

Considering  the  records  of  these 
two  speed  merchants  and  their 
plans  for  the  future,  it  will  not  be 
surprising  if  the  first  Indianapo- 
lis race  after  the  war  turns  out  to 
be  a  reunion  of  the  10th  Armored 
Division.

TPS  Divides  In 
Two  Games  At 
Camp  Stewart 

Win  Sunday  Tilt  By 
3-2  Score  After 
Saturday  Loss 

In  a  trip  to  Camp  Stewart  ovej 
the  past  week-end',  the  Parachutt 
School  tossers  gained  an  ever 
split  in  a  brace  of  games  with  th« 
strong  antiaircrafters.  It  was  tin 
first  baseball  competition  of  thi 
season  between  teams  of  the 
rival  Georgia  camps. 

Stewart  won  the  first  game  ob 
Saturday  with  a  three  run  rally 
in  the  ninth  by .  a  5-4  count,  but 
TPS  bounced  back  on  Sunday  to 
even  the  score  by  a  3-2  triumph. 
Two  more  games  in  the  series 
will  be  played  here  at  Gowdy 
Field  early  in  July. 
WIN  ON  SQUEEZE 

Saturday's  game  was  practi- 
cally- in  the  bag  for  the  Para- 
troopers until  the  fatal  last  in- 
ning. They  had  a  4-2  advantagt 
and  were  rolling  along  behind 
Bucket  '  Vaughan's  neat  hurling. 
But  Stewart  rallied  to  tie  thi 
count  .on  some  solid  hitting,  then 
perpetrated  an  artful,  squeeze 
play  to  gain  the  decision. 

Both  teams  banged  out  eight 
hits  v  apiece  in  the  battle,  with 
Danny  Coyle  slashing  three  sin- 
gles to  lead  TPS  at  the  plate. 
HOGAN  HURL'S 

On  Sunday,  Al  Hogan  took  the 
mound  for  the  Benning  nine,  and 
pitched  a  beautiful  game  setting 
the  home  team  down  with  three 
lone  hits.  Meanwhile,  'the  Para- 
troopers banged  out  seven  safe- 
ties paced  by  Mickey  Maguire 
with  two.      1  • 

TPS  came  from  behind,  how- 
ever, in  the  eighth  frame  to  take 
the  game.  Bruiser  Kinard,  the 
sturdy  catcher,  opened  with  .a 
hard  double,  advanced  on  Ma-- 
guire's  hit  and  scored  on  an  in- 
field out  as  Maguire  went  down . 
to  second.  Ben  Boki  then  poked 
a  long  single- to  score  Maguhe 
with  the  winning  run  and  give 
the  Benning  visitors  an  even 
break  in  their  week-end  joust 
with  the  antiaircraft  tossers.

to  expectations.  The  dop  bucket

down.  Will  Quinlan  pitched  four-

the  victim  of  his  mates'  misplays. 

The  1st  Battalion  of  the  54th 
Armored  Infantry  Regiment  also 
turned  in  a  mild  upset  when  it 
edged  the  11th  Armored  Regi 
ment,  5-4,  in  a  Sand  Hill  opener.

NO  RUNAWAYS 

Sunday's  finals  lacked  many  of 
the  thrills  of  Saturday's  scraps, 
yet  neither  could  be  called  a  run- 
away. The  3rd  AR  came  from 
behind  to  top  the  1st  Bn.,  54th

took  over  the  mound  chore  after

in  the  second  frame  and  hurled 
four-hit  ball  the  rest  of  the  way. 
The  Dragons  got  to  Taylor  in  late 
innings  to  break  a  5-5  tie  and  pull

eight  and  received  some  grand 
support,  particularly  by  Third' 
Baseman  Murphy.  Bob  Lansinger, 
who  went  the  rotue  on  the  mound 
for  the  losers,  also  pitched  a 
seven-hitter  but  passed  11  batters

that'  led  to  three  first-inning  Tee-

in  Four  Games 
Gators  In  Second 

With  four  well-earned  wins  al- 
ready to  their  credit,  the  crack 
Lawson  Field  Softball  ten  entered 
this  week's  play  In  the  post  league 
with  high  hopes  of  crashing 
through  to  the  first-half  title  in 
e  eight-club  circuit. 
The  Fliers  gained  undisputed 
possession  of  the  top  spot  in  the 
league  last  week  when  they  dump- 
ed the  2nd  Student  Training  Reg- 
iment. Running  the  Fliers  a  close 

,  in  the  number  -two  spot  is 

the  Gator  ten  of  the  124th  Infan- 
try whose  only  loss  was  to  Law- 
son  in  the  season  opener. 
GORMAN  STAXS 

The  prolific  hitting  of  Major 
George  Gorman,  playing  coach  of 
the  Fliers,  has  been  the  biggest 
single  factor  in  the  success  of  the 
Lawson  Field  club  so  far.  The 
star  first  baseman  is  a  former 
Birmingham  softball  ace  who  has 
played  on  a  national  champion- 
ship team. 

Flay  in  the  first  round  robin  of 
games,  which  comprise  half  of 
the  first-half  schedule,  was  com- 
pleted on  Tuesday,  but  several 
rained-out  games  are  still  to  be 
played. 

Also  there  has  been  one  sub- 
stitution in  the  loop  with  the  1st 
Academic  Co.  of  the  Parachute 
School'  replacing  the  Student 
Training  Brigade.  The  three  games 
played  by  the  Brigade  have  been 
dropped  from  the  standings  and 
will  have  to  be  replayed  against 
the  paratrooper. 
FLIERS  VS.  GATORS 

Tuesday '  night  the  -  second 
round-robin  of  games  will  com- 
mence with  a  quartet  of  games 
listed.  Lawson  Field  will  invade 
Harmony  Church  for  a  return 
game  with  the  124:h  Gators  that 
may  well  decide  the  title  laurels. 
The  Gators  scored  a  win  over  the 
Fliers  in  a  recent  practice  and 
will' be  primed  for  their  chance 
to  throw  the  race  into  a  deadlock. 

Other  Tuesday  night  frays  will 
see  the  Academic  Profs  oppose 
the  Station  Hospital  Medicos,  the 
2nd  STR  travel  to  the  main  post 
for  a  titl  with  the  176th  Spirits, 
and  the  3rd  STR  invade  the_Law- 
son  Field  area  for  a  game  with 
the  new  paratroop  entry  from  tne

Corporal  Michael  Bilowich,

1st  Lt  .  Lynn  Creason,  513th 
Paraahute  Infantry,  2  up  and  one

Golf  Tournament  in  Columbus 

Bilowich,  only  one  over  par' for 
the  three  rounds  necessary  to  win 
the  tournament,  easily  defeated 
John  Dorn,  4  and  3  and  L.  Blan- 
ton,  4  and  2,  shooting  par  all  the 
way.  Against  Creason,.  Mike^ 
played  the  steadier  golf  and  al- 
though Creason  constantly  out- 
drove him,  he  was  usually  on  the 
green,  putting  for  his  pars  or 
birdies. 

Mike  jumped  into  the  lead  on 
a  regulation  par  on  the  first,  only 
to  have  Creason  even  it  at  the 
second,  by  coming  out  of  the 
rough  and  sinking  an  elongated 
putt,  while  Bilowich  three  putted. 

The  champ,  chipped  dead  on 
the  third  for  a  birdie  and  went 
two  up  on  the  fifth  with  a  par,' 
as  i  the  Lt.  caught  the  rough  on 
his  long  drive  and  was  two  get- 
ting out.  The  two  matched  shots 
throughout  the  remainder  of  the 
round,  giving  Bilowich  the  match,

Stamps,  offered  as  a  prize.

Civilian  Activities 

By  MYRTLE  M.  JOINES 


What  is  my  responsibility  as  a 
Civilian .  Employee  for  the  gov- 
ernment and  what  am  I  doing 
about  that  responsibility  is  .  a 
question,  each  civilian  should  ask 
himself. 

Is  the  civilian  fully  cognizant 
of  the  fact  that  this  war  and  its 
outcome  is  as  important  to  him  as 
it  is  to  the  man  in  uniform?  Is 
the  civilian  aware  and  fully  ap- 
preciative of  the  fact  that  he  is  at 
home  doing  his  job  while  the  mil- 
itary personnel  who  is  fighting 
this  war  is  far  from  nome  and  its 
comforts? 

Civilians  have  an  important 
task  to  perform.  There  is  much 
speculation  as  to  whether  or  not 
they  are  awake  to  the  importance 
of  the  task  they  are  trying  to  per- 
form. 

Just  for  example.  Our  soldiers 
are  the  best  trained  soldiers  in 
the  world.  But  it  is  up  to  civil- 
ians in  the  supply  division  to  see 
that  they  get  necessary  supplies 
and  equipment  to  keep  them  the 
best-trained  by  seeing  that  they 
continue  getting  their  supplies  on 
time  or  our  casualties  will  be  two- 
fold. So  this  business  of  being 
civilian  employees  can  be  con- 
strued no  other  way  than  a  seri- 
ous one.  So  the  job  should  over- 
shadow how  much  I  am  to  be 
paid  or  how  long  I  am  to  work  to 
fulfil  my  task.  Civilians  should 
lose  themselves  and  their  identity 
in  their  job. 

Civilian  employees  were  orig- 
inally designed  to  release  as  many 
fighting  men  to  the  battle  front 
as  possible.  Their  worth  was 
proved  and  through  the  years 
more  and  more  civilian  employees 
have  been  added  to  the  govern- 
ment pay-roll  until  today  the  gov- 
ernment is  the  largest  employer 
of  civilians  in  the  country. 

Civilians  should  strive  in  every 
way  for  the  best  of  relations  be- 
tween themselves  and  their  em- 
ployers. At  times  there  are  strain- 
ed conditions  existing  between 
employer  and  employee  and  .'t 
has  been  suggested  that  a  pro- 
gram be  instituted  to  bring  about 
improved  relations.  It  is  more 
than  possible  that-  malignant  ab- 
senteeism could  be  curbed  to  a 
large  extent  by  a  better  under- 
standing or  relations  between  em- 
ployer and  employee. 

But  on  every  job  where  civil- 
ians are  at  work  the  question 
should  be  asked  and  an  adequate 
answer  found  for  it.  "Am  I  ful- 
filling my  job  efficiently  enough 
to  enable  a  soldier  carry  success- 
fully the  battle  to  the  enemy  on 
the  front  line?" 

This  question  canont  be  answer- 
ed honestly  unless  you  do  your 
best  each  day  on  every  job  as- 
signed to  you;  unless  you  are  on 
the  job  on  time  to  do  that  job 
every  day;  and  unless  you  have 
in  the  right  mental  attitude  that 
can  come  only  from  good  health, 
right  thinking,  and  an  honest  de- 
sire to  serve.

O.C.s'  Initiative 
Drafts  Taxi  For 
Night  Problem 

When  the  Seventh  Com- 
pany of  the  Third  Student 
Training  Regiment  went  out 
on  its  recent  night  compass 
course,  the  general  idea:  was 
for  each  student  to  return  to 
the  assembly  point  just  east 
of  the  10th  Armored  Division 
area  to  complete  the  first  leg 
of  the  course.  In  accomplish- 
ing this  objective,  four  can- 
didates .proved  beyond  all 
doubt  that  they  had  taken  the 
admonitions  "to  improvise" 
received  in  basic  training  with 
great  seriousness. 

The  problem  was  to  cease 
at  0030.  At  2400  all  but  four 
of  the  candidates  in  question 
had  arrived  at  the  designated 
place.  The  instructor  waited 
and  waited  and  finally  set  out 
in  search  of  the'missing  with 
lantern  in  hand.  Hardly  had 
he  left  the  area,  however, 
than  the  sound  of  a  non-G.  I. 
motor  was  heard  -  and  up 
roared  and  screeched  a  taxi. 

Yep!  You  guessed  it.  Out 
stepped  the  four  azimuth- 
happy  candidates  with  this  to 
say:  "Sir,  Candidates  — , 
 ,  ,  and   report- 
ing."^

to  as  a  "torticolis"  But  what  we  must  content  ourselves  with 
calling  a  pain  in  the  neck.  These  sententious  boils  are  so  en- 
chanted with  the  past  that  they  derive  a  minimum  of  pleasure 
from  the  present.  They  forget  that  today  is  tomorrows 
yesterday.

ery spot  has  one)  and  are  at  their 
best  (or  worst)  when  adequately 
irrigated  by  copious  interior 
drenches  of  white  man's  poison.

ers  for  the  .army  also  has  its

front to  decency  and  an  abomi- 
nation. ' 

Having  demonstrated  that  w<

about  certain  aspects  of  the 
Army  which  have  changed  so 
greatly  in  recent  years  and  are 
destined  to  further  alteration. 
BOYHOOD  DREAMS 

Every  boy  during  his  pre- 
sdolescence  has  at  one  time 
another  aspired  to  be  a  soldier 
sailor.  Possibly  the  presetn  day 
child  being  so  much  more  sophis- 
ticated £as  fewer  romantic  illu- 
sions on  the  topic  of  military  life 
but  when  we  weer  the  scourge 
of  the  kindergarten,  soldiering  to 
us  meant  snappy  light  opera  uni- 
forms glittering  with  brass  and 
braid  like  a  14th  Street  honky- 
tonk  and  cavorting  gallantly 
about  to  the"  accompaniment  of 
fifes,  bugles,  drums,#and  military 
bands. 

But,-  alas,  when  the  dreams  of 
our  childhood  are  apparently  on 
the  verge  of  fruition  and  we  are 
swished  off  into  the  army,  what 
do  we  find?  Instead  of  the  wasp- 
waisted  white  uniforms  and  coq 
feather  shakos  a  la  Oscar  Ham- 
merstein  or  Beverly  of  Graustark 
we  are  given  S?-_o.  d.  blouse  and 
a  manilla  envelope  cap.  We  glue 
our  noses  longingly  against  the 
glittering  shop  windows  of  Broad 
St.  speculating  as  to  what  max- 
imum of  that  gaudy  brassware 
we  might  get  away  with  on  our 
blouses  to  make  us  more  pictur- 
esque.  We  know  darn  well,  how-

ever,  that  the  first  sergeant  will 
make  us  take  it  off  so  we  turn 
away  with  a  sigh.  Now,  lack- 
aday,  our  poor  brass  buttons  are 
obsolescent  and  in  the  not  distant 
future  we  will  receive  uniforms 
which  will  be  much  more  practi- 
cal than  our  present  ones  but 
which  won't  have  a  gleam,  or  a 
gltter  in  a  gross. 

Now  in  this  matter  of  incident- 
al music:  Unlike  the  layman's 
conception  of  "la  vie  militaire" 
the  march  playing  brave  brass 
band  is  so  rare  thta  when  the 
strains  of  such  resound  within 
the  precincts  of  a  military  area, 
Hhe  amazed  G.  I's  come  clustering 
around  mouths  agape  and  ears 
flapping  in  the  breeze  to  listen  to 
the  treat.  It  seems  sort  of  an 
anti-climax  to  hear  such  music 
through  the  medium  of  a  loud- 
speaker as  we  occasionally  do. 
NO  COMIC  OPEEA  • 

Naturally  we  fully  appreciate 
the  reasons  for  this  sad  state  of 
affairs.  We  are  at  war  which  is  a 
serious  business  and  not  a  Gilbert 
and  Sullivan  opera.  We  know 
right  well  that  our  uniforms  are 
more  practical  our  living  condi- 
tions a  thousand  times  better  than 
they  weer  in  the  good  old  days 
but,  darn  it  all,  man  doesn't  live 
by  bread  alone  and  we  want  to 
look  like  something  out  df  a 
Schnitzler  play  even  though  we 
haven't  got  the  figure  for  it  nd 
have  to  wear  shell-rimmed  spec- 
tacles in  the  bargain. 

There  are  more  ways  of  get- 
ting a  cow  out  of  a  dry  well  than 
tying  it  to  a  balloon  and  other 
methods  than  close  order  drill  of 
making  a  soldier.  Oddly  enough 
a  lot  of  these  G.  I's  who  claim 
they  hate  soldiering  are  fall  guys 
for  a  formal  dress  parade  to 
music  and  will  even  admit  they 
like  it.  Afater  all,  if  there  are 
two  fundamental  childish  attri- 
butes which  a  man  bears  to  his 
grave,  they  are  a  loving  of  dress- 
ing up  and  showing  off  and  the 
armies  of  the  world  are  getting 
duller  and  duller  as  time  goes 
What  chance  has  a  boy  got  nc 
are  not  reactionaries,  we  may 
with  impunity  (we  hope)  indulge 
adays.

'Yardbird'  Transfers 
From  176th  infantry 

The  event  has  not  been  report- 
ed in  the  orders  of  the  day  but 
nevertheless  "Yardbird,"  a  canine- 
veteran  of  two  years  service  in 
the  Army,  has  transferred  from 
Company  A  of- the  176th  Infantry 
to  the  First  Company,  First  Bat- 
talion, Fourth  3asic  Training 
Regiment. 

The  regiment  is  one  of  three 
new  A.S.T.P.  Basic  Training  Cen-' 
ter  regiments  of  The  Infantry 
School.  The  first  batch  of  18- 
year-old  selectees  arrived  at  Fort 
Benning,  June  2,  a  lone  lot  of  35 
boys  from  Fort  Harrison,  Indi- 
ana. It  was  .hot,  they  were  tired 
and  also  lonesome. 

But  wagging  his  tail  in  violent 
welcome  as  they  filed  through 
the  company  supply  room  to  draw 
their  equipment  was  the  Yard' 
bird,  showing  more  life  than  he 
had  shown  since  his  rookie  days. 

Yardbird  is  strictly  an  Army 
canine.  He  likes  it  when  the  go- 
ing is  rough.  The  176th  became 
his  home  when  the  regiment  was 
assigned  to  guard  duty  in  Wash- 
ington following  maneuvers  in 
the  Carolinas. 
LIKES  OPEN  AIR 

He  didn't  mind  it  very  much 
when  the  regiment  was  trans- 
ferred to  Fort  Benning  because 
it  was  located  out  in  the  open 
spaces  of  Harmony  Church  area. 
But.  when  it  was  moved  into  the 
brick  cuartels  at  the  Main  Post, 
Yardbird  objected.  He  didn't  like 
cement  floors.  He  didn't  like  bar- 
racks with  three  stories  and  i 
basement  and  inumerable  corri- 
dors. It  was  all  too  darned  fancy 
-for  a  sturdy  canine  of  his  ilk. 
When  it  became  necessary  to 
organize  a  cadre  for  the  newly 
activated  training  regiments,  some 
of  the  personnel  of  the  176th  were 
transferred.  Company  "A"  con- 
tributed the  cadre  for  the  First 
battalion  of  the  Fourth  Regiment 
and  Yardbird  was  presented  with 
a  problem. 

However  when  he  learned  the 
First  Battalion  of  the  new  regi- 
ment was  to  be  quartered  in  the 
barracks  formerly  occupied  by  the 
176th  in  the  Harmony  Church 
area,  his  decision  became  easy. 

He  moved  with,  the  first  batch 
of  cadre  back  to  the  wooden  bar- 
racks among  the  pines  where  he 
can  chase  squirrels  to.  his  heart's 
content. 

Yardbird  also  will  have  senior- 
ity over  all  but  the  cadre.  Al 
present,  members  of  the  new 
regfment  can  count  their  army 
service  in  days  whereas  the  Yard- 
bird counts  his  in  years. 

1918  Veteran 
Still  Likes  His 
'03  Springfield 

A  veteran  of  five  major  cam- 
paigns in  World  War  No.  1,  Clif- 
ford E.  Harkness  of  Decatur,  111. 
has  decided  he  can  not  let  another 
war  go  by  without  taking  part  in 
rt  so  he  is  striving  for  second  lieu- 
tenant's bars  in  the  11th  Company 
of  the  Third'  Student  Training 
Regiment. 

Harkness  is  a  musician  by  pro- 
fession. He  was  a  year  overseas 
in  the  last  war  with  the  130th  In- 
fantry of  the  33rd  Division,  acting 
as  stretcher  bearer  as  well  as 
bandsman.  Among  the  campaigns 
he  experienced  were  those  of  St. 
Mihiel,  Amiens,  Tromerville, 
Meuse-Argonne  and  Verdun. 

Upon  his  arrival  at  Brest,  Hark- 
ness's  unit  was  attached,  to  the 
British  Army,  then  the  French  and 
finally  it  came  under  American 
command.  He  was  in  the  front 
lines  throughout  his  service  over- 
seas and  after  the  Armistice  was 
stationed  in  Luxembourg. 

Although  he  has  a  family  which 
includes  two  young  sons,  Harkness 
enlisted  in  the  Army  last  Novem- 
ber and  underwent  training  at 
Perrin  Field  near  Sherman,  Tex. 
His  only  comment  as  to  the  dif- 
ference between  this  war  and  the 
last  on-  is: 

"Army  life  is  better,  training  is 
far  superior— but  I  still  love  that 
old  '03  rifle." 


Hospital  Patients 
Witness  Another 
Musical  Show 

Another  in  the  series  of  musi- 
cal and  variety  programs  given 
by  the  patients  of  the  Neuropsy- 
chiatric  Section  of  the  Station 
Hospital  was  given  on  Wednes- 
day afternoon,  June  2.  The  con- 
tinuance of  these  weekly  enter- 
tainments, started  by  Captain 
Shulac  on  May  6  is  evidence  of 
the  success  they  have  enjoyed. 

This  most  recent  performance 
by  the  patients  of  the  Section  and 
their  guests  was  opened  by  an 
accordion  and  guitar  duet  by  Ser- 
geant Pintello  and  Private  Dun- 
lap.  Private  Marty  Gross  sang 
"Jealous"  and  "Marie"  followed 
by  the  singing  of  "White  Cliffs 
of  Dover"  and  "There  Are  Such 
Things"  by  Corporal  Jinnie 
Grammas  of  the  W.  A.  A.  C. 

Mr.  Emmet  Leitel  of  the  Amer- 
ican Red  Cross  sang  "Johnny 
Doughboy"  after  which  he  led  a 
group  singing  of  "My  Wild  Irish 
Rose."  This  was  followed  by  two 
tap  dances,  one  slow  and  one  fast 
time  by  Private  Elwood  Briddel 
of  Ward  E.6  which  also  was-  rep- 
resented by  Private  Alden  Young 
who  sang  "Wagon  Wheels." 

Private  Charles  Jones,  a  theat- 
rical man  in  civilian  life  previous 
to  his  induction,  sang  "The  Road 
to  Mandalay"  and  Corporal 
Grammas  concluded  teh  show  by 
You'd  Be  So  Nice  to  Come  Home 
Jo."  At  the  end  of  the  show 
cold  punch  was  served  by  the 
Red  Cross.  

Brazilians  Give 
Argentine  Coup 
tiews'Big  Applause 

Brazilian  newspapermen  who 
visited  Fort  Benning  last  Friday 
accorded  thunderous  applause  to 
the  announcement  that  the  pro- 
Axis  regime  in  Argentina  had 
been  overthrown. 

The  12  men  and  members  of 
their  party  were  attending  a 
luncheon  at  the  Officers  Club 
given  by  Major  General  Leven  C. 
^.llen,  commandant  of  the  Infan- 
try .School,  when  the  news  was 
telephoned  to  the  club.  William 
Dyer,  coordinator  of  Inter-Amer- 
ican Relations,  called  out  the  news 
in  Portuguese  whereupon  the 
visitors  gave  vent  to  their  feel- 

The  12  Brazilians  witnessed  de- 
monstrations given  by  the  Infan- 
try School  and  the  Parachute 
School.  The  tour  of  the  Para- 
chute School  was  personally  con- 
ducted by  Brig.  General  George 
~  Howell,  and  Lt.  Colonel  James. 

Coutts,  commandant  and  as- 
sistant commandant  respectively 
of  the  School. 

In  the  evening  they 
dinner  guests  of  Brig.  General 
Walter-  S.  Fulton,  post  command- 
er. After  dinner  the  party  left 
for  Opelika,  Ala.,  where  they  took 
a  train  for  New  Orleans  to  con- 
tinue their  swing  of  the  nation's 
training  and  war  production  cen> 
ters. 

In  a  special  message  to  post 
personnel  Wilson  Lins,  editor  in 
chief  of  O  Imparcial  of  Caia,  Bra- 
zil, and  enlistee  as  a  private  for 
active  service  in  the  Brazilian 
Army,  now  at  war  with  the  Axis, 
declared: 

"I  salute  the  military  staff  of 
the  BAYONET  and  all  the  hearty 
officers  and  men  of  Fort  Benning, 
who  in  this  hour  of  American  life 
are  giving  their  best  efforts  for 
the  common  cause  of  a  sane  and 
anti-Fascist  humanity.'" 

2nd  STR  Men  Have 
$38399,000  In 
Service  Insurance 

The  percentage  of  men  in  the 
Second  Student  Training  Regi- 
ment holding  National  Service 
Life  Insurance  has  climbed  to 
new  high  of  89  per  cent,  it  was 
revealed  in  a  report  issued  this 
month  by  Capt.  John  B.  Torinus, 
Insurance  officer. 

Total  insurance  now  held  in 
the  regiment  is  $38,399,000,  also 
a  new  high.  The  average  policy 
amount  for  each  man  with  insur- 
ance is  $8,932. 

Four  companies  in  the  Second 
Student  Training  Regiment  have 
already  signed  up  their  personnel 
100  per  cent  in  the  insurance 
drive,  and  several  other  compa- 
nies are  rapidly  approaching  per- 
fect records. 


O'Melia  Investigator 
In  California  MP      w  ! 
Concentration  Camps 

There  is  no  such  thing  as  a  Jap- 
anese "poker  face,"  according  to 
Officer  Candidate  Malcolm  B. 
O'Melia  of  the  Fourth  Company, 
Third  Student  Training  Regiment, 
"You  ought  to  see  them  blush 
when  caught  telling  a  lie,"  the 
candidate  discloses. 

This  is  only  one  of  the  many  in- 
teresting bits  of  information  O'Me- 
lia picked  up  as  an  investigator  of 
Japanese  concentration  camps  in 
California,  working  under  the  Civ- 
il Affairs  Division  of  the  U.  S. 
Army  Western  Defense  Command. 
O'Melia  expects  the  knowledge  he 
gained  of  Japanese  custom  and 
trickery  to  stand  him  in  good  stead 
before  the  war  is  over. 
-An  Elwood,  Calif.,  resident, 
O'Melia  picked  up  some  knowledge 
of  the  Japanese  language  through 
working  on  Japanese,  fishing  boats 
in  Puget  Sound.  He  later  secured 
a  position  as  guard  in  the  concen- 
tration camps  at  Pomona  and  San- 
ta Anita.  Before  his  appointment 
as  an  investigator,  he  was  sent  to 
a  school  of  Japanese  psychology  in 
3an  Francisco. 

.  There  he-  was  taught  never  to 
have  paper  and  pencil  in  hand 
when  questioning  a  Japanese  nor 
to  place  the  witness  near  a  door, 
Japanese  fear  entrance  of  "gods' 
through  a  door  and  consider  the 
deities  in  question  as  ill  omens. 
Never,  moreover,  he  was  told, 
should  he  question  one  Jap  in  front 
of  another,  or,  worse,  in  front-  of 
a  woman.  Women  are  considered 
inferior  and  this  disclosure  ex- 
plained to  O'Melia  the  evident  ter- 
ror on  the  part  of  women  who 


Menagerie  Keeper 
Knows  His  Snakes 

Officer  candidates  in  the  Third 
Student  Training  Regiment  who 
may  be  a  little  hesitant  about  ap- 
proaching snakes  and  other  forms 
of  wildlife  on  bivouacs  this  sum- 
mer can  pice  up  a  few  useful  hints 
by  talking  things  over  with  Pvt. 
William  Tyson  of  Company  B  in 
the  resigemtn's  Service  Battalion. 

Before  entering  the  Army,  Ty- 
son was  an  assistant  menagerie 
keeper  and  handled  boa  constric- 
tors, leopards,  monkeys  and  oce- 
lots as  well  as  a  wide  variety  of 
birdlife.  On  one  occasion  during 
this  career,  a  leopard  escaped 
through  its  cage  door,  carelessly 
left  open,  and  Tyson  was  compell- 
ed to  cope  with  the  situation  alone. 
He  admits  he  was  scared,  but,  re- 
lying on  his  experience,  he  secured 
a  pole  and  coaxed  the  beast  back 
into  its  cage  without  any  damage 
being  done.

camps. 

COURT  GOD  OF  CHANCE 

The  lanky  Californian  has  many 
interesting  stories  of  the  camps  in 
his  state  —  of  the  Japs'  fondness 
for  gambling;  how  out  of  20,0.00 
Japs  only  one  would  serve  as  a 
stool  pigeon,  and  how,  despite  fine 
hospital  facilities,  Japanese  wom- 
en refused  medical  attention  in 
childbirth.  •    •   '  ,  '  . 

•  There  was  one  case  of  hara-Kiri 
at  Santa  Anita,  he  said,  and 
searches  of  the  prisoners  yielded 
all  kinds  of  knives,  maps  and 
charts.  Despite  the  apparent  pa- 
triotism of  seme  of  the  American- 
Japanese,  O'Melia  insists  there  are 
few  he  would  trust.  He  related 
the  incident  pf  one  Japanese,  grad- 
uate of  an  American  %jllege  and 
a  professional  physical  education 
instructor,  who  was  given  liberty 
to  leave  the  camp.  An  inspection 
of  his  belongings  before  he  depart- 
ed revealed  a  lengthy  document 
condemning  the  American  govern- 
ment and  reciting  many  falsehoods 
as  to  the  treatment  of  his  race  in 
California. 

O'Melia's  father  was  supervisor 
of  many  of  the  Elwood  oil-weils 
which  were  shelled  by  a  Japanese 
submarine  early  in  the  war.  The 
shells,  as  a  matter  of  fact,  were 
lobbed  right  over  the  O'Melia 
home  but  did  no  material  damage

to  the  area.  Most  of  the  tanks, 
O'Melia  said,  usually  contained 
aviation  gasoline  but  on  the^ight 
of  the  attack;  they  were  all  empty. 

Later  is  was  claimed  an  Amer- 
ican plane  had  sunk  the  sub.  Bod- 
ies of  the  Japanese  were  washed 
up  on  the  California  shores  and  on 
their  fingers  were  class  rings  from

sity of  Washington. 


They  were  in  order  of  importance; 
shoes  shbiild  be  properly  fitted; 
feet  should  be  kept  well  bathea 
and    foot-powder    used  freely, 
shoes  -should  never  be  worn  when 
damp— stockings  either  for   that  5> 
matter;  and  at  the.slightest  indi-\5 
cation  of  any  foot  infection,  im.  '

obtained;  and  last  but  certainly 
not  .least  in    importance,  heels

f   Nrfect  Record  Made 
By  Colored  Soldiers 
For  First  Time 

AH  colored  soldiers  entering  the 
Army  of  the  United  States  through 
««e  Fort  Banning  Reception  Cen- 
ter in  Mey  have  safeguarded  their 
hvc  ar-d-dependents  by  investing 
in  National  Service  Life  Insur- 
ance the  low-cost  life  insurance 
&gde  available  by  the  government 
10  persons  in  the  armed  services, 
*  was  disclosed  today  by  Lieut, 
"ol  Uiric  N.  James,  commanding 
Officer  of  the  Reception  Center. 

Although  the  percentage  of  sol- 
jier^  who  have  taken  out  insur- 
ince"  in  past  months  has  neared 
ihe  perfect  :  record  established 
7urin£  May,  this  is  actually  the 
first  time  that  all  of  the  selec- 
tees from  the  southeastern  states 
who  came  to  Eenning  for  process- 
ing have  availed  themselves  of 
the  insurance  benefits  offered  by 
the  government.  y 

The  lowest  policy  taken  out  by 
■  soldiers  amounts  to  $5,000  whiie 
the  average  policy   amounts  to 


$8,412.82.  Eighty-nine  percent  of 
the  selectees  who  entered  the  Ar- 
my at  Eenning  last  month  pur- 
chased $10,000  policies,  -. 

Lieut.  John  W.  Inzer,  Jr.,  in- 
surance officer  of  the  post  who  is 
charged  with  supervising  the  in- 
surance program,  pointed  out  that 
"the  record  of  the  Reception  Cen 
ter  is  one  of  the  most  enviable  on 
the  entire  post..  When  the  total 
number  of  men  in  the  organiza- 
tion is  considered,  in  addition  to 
the  fact  that  most  of  ,  the  men  are 
stationed  here  but  a  short  time, 
this  ^record  stands  as  one  very 
hard  to  beat  by  any  Army  unit.' 

Col.  James  said  that  when  the 
selectees  arrive  at  the  reception 
Center  they  are  told  about  the 
insurance  policies  and  of  the  spe- 
cial benefits  which  accrue  to  serv- 
ice men  through  the  low-cost  in- 
surance. The  decision  to  take  out 
insurance  then  rests  entirely  with 
the  soldiers,  he  pointed  out.

Impressive  Ceremony 
Marks  Term's  End 

Thirty-eight  graduates  of  chil- 
dren's school  at  Fort  Benning  re- 
ceived their  diplomas  at  exercises 
held  Friday  in  the  school  audi- 
torium. 

The  exercises  were  brief  but 
impressive.  Col.  Frank  M.  Thomp- 
son, chief  of  the  chaplains  branch, 
gave  the  invocation;  Barbara  Mc- 
Kee  delivered  the  farewell  speech 
for  the  girl  graduates  and  Jimmie 
Chaille  spoke  in  behalf  of  the 
boys.  The  class  song,  the  words 
of  which  were  written  by  Mary 
Strain  and  Eleanor  Whittemore, 
was  sung  to  the  accompaniment 
played  by  Patty  Cook.  Colonel 
Harry  Burkhalter,  president  of 
the  Fort  Benning  school  board, 
delivered  the  diplomas,  and  Miss 
Annie  Lou  Grimes,  school  princi-

Co!.  Vida  Presents 
Certificates  At  Close 
Of  Three-Month  Course 

Fifty-two  enlisted  men  of  the 
Provisional  Truck  Regiment  have 
received  certificates  for  those  per- 
sons successfully  completing  a 
three  months'  course  in  basic  sub- 
jects at  the  Regimental  Literacy 
School. 

Colonel  Frank  J.  Vida,  com- 
manding officer  of  the  Provision- 
al Truck  Regiment,  presented  the 
certificates  to  the  graduates.  In- 
troduced by  Lti  Everett  Bell, 
Regimental  Supply  Officer,  the 
Colonel  expressed  his  satisfaction 
with  the  progress  made  by  the 
graduates  and  offered  encourage- 
ment to  others  in  the  school  who 
have  not  yet  completed  the 
course. 

Lt.  Colonel  Edward  G.  Herlihy, 
Regimental  Executive  Officer, 
was  present  and  offered  his  con- 
gratulations to  the  graduates. 
Chaplain  Levi  L.  Stanmore,  who 
divides  his  time  between  the 
Service  Battalion,  Third  Student 
Training  Regiment  and  the  Pro- 
visional Truck  Regiment,  gave  a 
message  on  working  together  and 
making  the  most  of  opportunities 
for  advancement. 
FUNCTION  EXPLAINED 

Sergeant  Walter  R.  Bennett,  Jr., 
the  school  supervisor,  explained 
how  men  who,  for  various  rea- 
sons, have  been  denied  education- 
al privileges,  are  given  instruc- 
tion in  reading,  writing,  arith- 
metic, spelling,  and  geogrphy  by 
competent  enlisted  personnel.  He 
told  how  these  classes  meet  four 
nights  weekly  and  how  a  well- 
planned  program  has  enabled 
many  soldiers  to  better  them- 
selves mentally. 

The  musical  portion  of  the  ex- 
ercises was  presented  by  vocal 
soloist,  Private  First  Class  Josepn 
Coles,  and  Staff  Sergeant  Isaac

"E,"  Provisional  Truck  Regiment, 
along  with  the  Regimental  Quar- 
tet and  Chorus  directed  by  Cor- 
poral Ernest  Baskette  of  Com- 
pany "K"  of  this  Regiment.  Cor-

ably  served  in  that  capacity.

eleven  officers  who  have  just 
completed  a  three  months  course 
in  Automotive  Section  of  The  In- 
fantry  School. 

These  officers  were  originally 
assigned  to  the  regiment  during

ling, servicing, '  and  repairing  all 
types  of  vehicles,  these  officers 
have  returned  to  their  regiment 
and  will  assume  the  duties  of  mo- 
tor officers  in  various  companies 
of  the  regiment. 

As  evidence  of  the  fine  records 
made  by  these  men  in  the  school, 
Lieutenant  Melvin  A.  Hendry,  Jr., 
Company  "T,"  Provisional  Truck 
Regiment,  won  the  distinction  of 
having  the  highest  grades  for  the 
course,  and  when  the  final  ratings 
were  released,  had  led  all  other 
members  of  the  class. 

Officers  from  the  Provisional 
Truck  Regiment  who  graduated 
were:  Lieutenants  Crawford  H. 
Lydle,  r.,  Milton  V.  Seraile,  Wil- 
liam H,  Webb,  Jr.,  James  C.  White,

if  Means  a  Million 
Free  Chesterfields  i  Week 
for  Hie  Boy s  Over  Here; 

k  grand  good  Jycfe  gift  with ' 
Chesterfield's  Compliments 


"It's  Victory  Times  for  the  hoys 
over  here  and  Victory  Smokes  for 
the  boys  over  there,"  Chesterfield 
announces  five  nights  a  week  over 
the  regular  Fred  Waring  "Pleasure 
Time"  radio  broadcast  (Mondays 
through  Fridays,  N.B.C.)— and  also, 
three  nights  a  week  on  the  Harry 
James  program  (Tuesday,  Wednes- 
day and  Thursday,  C.B.S.). 

A  million  Chesterfields,  week 
after  week  to  our  fighting  men  is  | 
the  result  of  the  public's  interest  in  1 
Chesterfield's  two  ace  radio  shows.  I 
Since  last  November,  Fred  War-  E 
ing  has  devoted  his  15-minute  broadcast  to  "Victory  Tunes", 
playing  and  singing  songs  selected  by  the  .service  men  and  dedi- 
cating each  program  to  one  of  the  camps  6r  posts. 

To  date,  eight  new  service  songs  have  been  written  and  pre- 
sented by  Fred  Waring  and  so  far  this  year  110  different  Camps 
have  voted  on  what  they  wanted  Waring  to  play  and  then  tuned  - 
in-to  hear  the  result.  The  songs  written  include  "Sky  Anchors" 
for  Naval  Aviation;  "Boll  Tanks  Boll"  for  the  Armored  Forces ; 
"Look  Out  Below"  for  the  Parachute  Troops;  "The  Fighting 
Quartermaster  Corps";  "The  Men  of  the  Merchant  Marine"; 
"Man  to  Man"  for  the  Infantry;  "In  Navy  Blue"  for  the  Waves 
and  "Hail  to  the  Corps"  for  Marine  Aviation. 

Harry  James'  tribute  to  the  men  in  the  armed  forces  is  his 
nightly  "Chesterfield  Special". -Since  Harry  James'  records  are  . 
hard  to  get,  he  plays  a  "Chesterfield  Special"  every  night  over 
the  air,  so  that  the  boys  can  hear  the  sensational  James  arrange- 
ments, played  through  the  mike  exactly  as  you  would  hear  them 
on  your  phonographs  at  camp. 

Sen-ice  men  will  be  delighted  to  hear  that  Harry  James  has 
just  been  voted  champion  of  about  everything  on  the  list.  He 
recently  emerged  from  a  popularity  survey  conducted  by  "Radio 
Life,"  Pacific  Coast  fan  magazine,  with  the  following  score: 
1  —  Favorite  recording  artist;  2  —  Favorite  sweet  orchestra; 
3  —  Favorite  swing  orchestra;  4  —  Helen  Forrest,  favorite  girl 
singer;  5  —  Favorite  song,  "I've  Heard  That  Song  Before".

are  being  given  to  CpL  H.  B.

his  poem  "How  Green  Was 
My  Valley",  published  last 
week.. 

Both?  contributions  were 
wellT-eceived  throughout  the 
post,  and  requests  were  re- 
ceived for  republication  rights 
in  other  papers. 

The  BAYONET,  meanwhile, 
again  urges  that  post  con- 
tributors enter  their  work  in 
the  weekly  $2  contest.  Comic 
and  editorial  cartoons  are  es- 
pecially desired  for  publica- 
tion in  the  paper. 


Gen.- 


Academicians 
Donate  $257 
To  War  Prisoners 

To  help  buy  necessities  for 
American  prisoners  of  war, 
members  of  the  Academic 
Regiment  donated  $256.97  out 
of  their  last  month's  pay,  ac- 
cording to  Lt.  W.  G.  Smith, 
regimental  adjutant. 

Leading  the  list  of  contnb- 
uters  in  this  move  which  was 
suggested  by  The  Infiintry. 
Journal,  was  Company  C. 
Boxes  were  set  up  on  each 
pay  table  and  men  given  an 
opportunity  to  purchase  ci- 
garetts,  soap,  toothpaste,  can- 
dy and  other  articles  for  their 
buddies,  now  interned  by  the 
Nazis  and  Japanese.  ■ 

The  money  goes  to  the  Red 
Cross,  which  is  charged  with 
handling  communications 
with  prisoners  of  war,  and 
will  supplement  family  gifts 
sent  to  internees.

No    matter    how  many 

shirts  Father  has  he  always 

seems  to  need  more.    The  ■ 

same  goes  for  belts  and  pa- 
jamas and  ties  and  so  on

in  the  men's  shop  of  the  J.

Father  is  a  civilian,  that's 

fine,  too.    The  men's  shop 

has  gift  items  for  them  all. 

A  handsome  leather  Hickock 

belt  makes  ;  an  inexpensive,

gift  for  a  civilian  Father. 

For  the  Army  Dad  a  regu-

Especially  for  the  Army  man 

is  a  regulation  tie  and  hand-

Leather  goods  are  about  as  dif- 
ficult to  get  these  rationed  days 
as  a  good  thick  steak.  But  while 
MAX  ROSENBERG  CO.  has  no 
steak,  they  do  have  a  large  sup- 
ply of  real  cowhide  leather  bags 
especially  suitable  for  men,  be 
they  Fathers  or  not.  Mentioning 
Fathers  brings  to  mind  Father's 
Day  will  soon  be  here.  A  leather 
bag  replete  with  zipper  would 
indeed  make  an  especially  prized 
gift.  Both  leather  and  zippers 
are  hard  to  find,'  but  each  and 
every  one  of  the  men's  bags  dis- 
played by  Max  Rosenberg  is  the 
best  grade  leather  with  prices 
ranging  from  almost '  rock  bot- 
tom to  a  little  bit  higher  and  ; 
little  bit  higher  than  that.  Sev- 
eral of  these  luggage  pieces  have 
been  reduced  so  it  would  be  a 
wise  shopper  who  shops  now  and 
chooses  a  black,  chocolate  brown, 
tan  or  a  lovely  shade  of  russet 
leather  bag.  The  only  connec- 
tion these  bags  have  with  shoe 
"mittens"  is  they're  both:  used  by 
men.  For  those  not  in  the  know,

Long  delayed  shipments  and 
lack  of  materials  has  not  pre- 
vented H.  ROTHSCHILD,  INC. 
from  selling  comfy  mattresses. 


These  cool  and  fine  light  mat- 
tresses are  each  and  every  one  an 
exceptional  value.  They  are  not

comforts"  are  covered  with  pat- 
terned heavy  damask  or  .woven 
tickings  in  blue,  green  or  grey, 
as  you  prefer.  Fine  workman- 
ship is  evident  in  all  these  mat- 
tresses which  are  so  manufac- 
tured that  they  cannot  become 
lumpy  or  shift  about.  Another 
point  to  consider  is.  the  ease  with 
which  you'll  be  able  to  give  your 
new  mattress  its  weekly  turn- 
ing. It  will  be  easy  as  sturdy 
self-material  handles  have  been 
attached  to  either  side  of  the 
mattresses.  Why  not  get  into  ac- 
tion today  and  send  your  old  and 
worn-out  mattress  to  the  Salva- 
tion Army  or  some  similar  place 
and  then  select  your  new  sleep- 
ing aid  at  H.  Rothschild.  After 
just  one  hour"  of  ethereal  sleep  on 
your  new'  mattress",  you'll  look 
forward  to  countless  more  nights 
of  comfortable  rest.

If  your  husband  has  a 
birthday  just  around  the 
corner,  you  might  .give  him 
an  unusual  present,  i'e  -a" 
appointment  at  the  A1ME 
DuPONT  STUDIOS.  Here 
the  resulting  photograph 
will,  be  one  you'll  cherish  for 
many  years  to  come.  The 
painstaking  care  with  which 
each  "shot"  is  made  does  not 
necessarily  mean  the  whole 
procedure  will  take  hours 
and  hours.  Speed,  through 
exact  knowledge  of  the  art 
of  photography,  is  the  rea- 
son why  the  actual  "shoot- 
ing"  time  is  short.  For  his 
photograph  may  I  suggest 
your  husband  wear  his  best 
summer  uniform?.  The  par- 
ticular light  sun  tan  shade 
of  the  Army  regulation 
slacks,  shirt  and  blouse,  is 
especially  adapted  to  clear 
and  "sharp"  photography. 
In  photography  the  general, 
rule  is  wear  something  light 
around  the  face.  This  ap- 
plies to  men  and  women 
alike.  The  good  bronze  tans 
most  of  your  husbands  have 
will  also  aid  the  final  re- 
sult. Naturally  proofs  are 
submitted  and  s  retouching 
suggestions  may  be  made. 
Finishing  up  the  final  proois 
does  as  a  rule  take  a  bit  or. 
time,  so  don't  hesitate  to 
pick  up  your  phone  an(Ldiai 
Columbus  3-1505  for- your 
husband's  appointment.
