Ready, Mr. Freddie. Bein,g somewhat slumped by the recent departure of quite a few enlisted men transferred to the 3rd AF, McDill Field, Florida, we a r e glad to announce that the squadron's flourishing stamina is still a t its best. Many of us were sorry t e see the 'boys depart, but to CpL Kenny Snell i t is advantageous. Quote: "Well, Boys, it's getting better all the time. Pretty soon there won't be anyone left but me". Unquote. Sgt. William T. Greene, the 'chief Wheel' of the organization, has returned from furlough and h a s already started the wheel a-turning. He requests that everybody crowd in around the spokes and ride along with him. When asked h-ow be enjoyed his furlough, his only answer was: "Too Short". Flash!

E M Of The Week Have you ever been to Cincinlati? Have you ever walked the ;treets of fame? Did you ever wonler why a city so large could have ;uch a funny name? Ask Pvt. 3eorge E. Jackson, a Cincinatti lhio boy for true; so latch on while : lay down his past pedigree. Pvt. Jackson was born a n d reared in the City of Cincinnati, 3hio. His father being a b a n d eader, was the source of inspira,ion leading to his theatrical achievements. Before his induction. m the armed forces, Pvt. Jackson tripped along the line a s a memoer of a great professional dance team tagged "The Three Dukes'. -, He, along with the others, h a s displayed his talents in some of the leading nite-spots of the country, namely 'Paradise Theatre' in Detroit, 'Cedar Gardens' in Cleveland, Dan Montgomery's in BufEalo, N.Y. and the 'Club Delisa' and Regal Theatre of Chicago, Ill. We regret to say that since' being in the A r m e d Forces, Pvt. Jackson has had little opportunity to display his dancing ability, but he is not without hope. His two former partners a t the present a r e connected with the US0 shows, a n 4 are doing their bit for the morale of service men all over the country. Carry on, Jack. There'll come a time- now what do you bet?, -Mop!

First of all we wish to extenc our heartiest congratulations to the new father in our Squadron, F. 0 Foster W.

Name The boy :. say that F. 0.James Beadling of Crew 108 is prominently known among the officers as Willie Post. We wonder where they got that idea? Cpl. Cooley of Crew 114, after a flurry of telegrams finally, convinced his wife to come to Walla Walla. She is now visiting him and is he a happy man! I t seems that Crew 113 really liked Blythe, California, especially the engineer who is receiving two letters a day from- the little desert spot! The boys on Crew 113 are also jubilant because one of their members is a good cook and has his own coffee equipment to take overseas with him. We hear that Lt. Windburn o f Crew 110 is commonly know as the Yo-yo. He always comes back for more! Ma.lted How did Cpk McDaniel of Crew 114 win a malted milk from Cpl. Cooley ? We wonder where Crew 109 are when they a r e wanted for something? We understand that the engineer on Crew 193 is taking reducing exercises by request of an officer. There must be a shortage of bed clothing in Crew 119 a s we hear that a certain gunner on that crew sleeps with all his clothing on. Flier Cpl. Joe Jurbin of Crew 121 is very grateful that he has all of his high altitude flying in. Wonder why? Dan ~ c ~ r a of wCrew 121 gets down on his knees bvery night to pray for a three day pass so that he can visit his ranch in Portland, Oregon.

An announcement of interest to Dase sport fens is the fact that .he famed Harlem Globetrotters, 3asketball's No. 1 team of all .ime, will face the WWAAF Flyers 3t the New High School gym on Wonday night, February 26. It is impossible to praise t h e Xobetrotters' record-and current :earn, for that matter-too highly. I'his i s their eighteenth consecu.ive season of play. The l?st 17 rears have seen them write a saga )f the court unmatched for briliance. Their sensational brand of ~asketball, superb showmanship. and fine sportsmanship a r e a lousehold word everywhere on the Vorth American continent. Amazing Total The Globetrotters have amassed .he amazing total of 2,439 victories while losing only 198 the last 17 rears. They establish new records ?very time they. play. Their rec)rd i s all the more outstanding hen it is remembered that they ' ravel day in and day out through 1 1 1 sorts of wintry weather, play 1s many as' eight and nine games 1 week from early November until ate April, never reject any team is too strong a n opponent, 'never icout a team they a r e to face, find ime in every game to put on a n !xhibition of their clean, humor)us and laugh-pmvoking stunts of ihowmanship--and still manage to vin nearly every time out. Furher enhancing this illustrious car!er, the nomads of basketball alvays play on opponents' floors and tccept the latter's choice of offi:ials without question. Ball Handlers Without a peer in the field in )all-handling, clever all- around day, showmanship and star-studled personnel, the present Globerotters bid fair to equal or even urpass all their predecessors. '?ley average over six feet in ,eight and are the pick of the naion's outstanding colored players, he list including Bernie P r i c e, ,ouis ("Babe") Pressly, Everett , /Iarcell, Roscoe ("Duke") Cumerland, Lorenzo ("Piper") Davis, Duck" Moore and Pedro Boyd. lman Jackson, great center and )p ball-handler of basketball, is till with the team for his sixteenth ?s.son, acting in an advisory caacity and occasional utility man.

Ted Fio Rito

Maker Of Stars
A number of prominent motion licture personalities gathered a t I luncheon a few weeks ago in 3ollywood to honor the man who vas responsible for starting the.% In their way to fame. That man, ilso one of the most prominent 'igures in the entertainment busness, was Ted Fio Rito, worid . :amous orchestra leader. Included in this list of people wbs Mere former musicians, vocalists md entertajners with Fio Rito were Dave Rose, former pianist with his 3and and composer of "Holiday [or Strings"; Lief Erickson, former vocalist with Fio Rito, later a Paranount picture. star and now servmg in the Army; Joy Hodges, exvocal lovely with Ted and n6w motion picture and musical comedy star;Mussy Marcellino, long time featured singer with Fio Rito and now leader of his own orchestra; bandleader Isham Jones; Victor Young, ex-violinist with Fio -Kit0 and now musical director for Paramount Studios; June Haver, former vocalist with Ted and now one of 20th Century-Fox's fastest rising young actresses; and love4y Betty Grable, one of the t6p boxoffice attractions in the United States. Ted discovered Betty in San Francisco when she was dancing . i n a chorus at a theater. He hear&-her sing and signed her a s vocalist with the band where she remained un-ti1 entering motion pictures.

THESE 'PICTURES should bring nostalgic (?) memories for most of the personnel of W W A A F who made the trek up from the desert paradise (?) a t Blythe last spring, to re-activate Walla Walla. They show life a s she is lived by the handful of emigres who compose the dee ess organization of Squadron N. The two pictures a t top show a view of the flight line and the squadron area, with the friendly (?) mountains enveloping this jewel of the desert. In the second panel we see '"a glimpse of that caravanserie, the PX, with some of the boys enjoying cool cokes on a h& day. At right, in this panel (ah, yes! where have we seen this scene before?) the bogs are getting their profiles, with Capt. Louis Hurwitz examining the molars and Capt. Stanley Grudzien with the stethoscope. The picture a t lower left proves conclusively that there is no escape from pee tee, even 1200 miles from home base. At bottom right, the C-47 shuttle plane arrives from Walla Walla with a cargo of B-24 tires and other equipment.-(Base Lab Photo by Cpl. Harold Lawrence.)

So, some of you thought you could get rid of m e and my article, but I don't quit so easy a s you can see. I didn't mind so much the guy who sent me threat notes so that I would stop writing my article, and the guy who sneaked up on m e and slugged me, but t h e fellow who put that booby-trap on m y girl's picture, carried things a little far. (A guy can lose a hand that way) OK, so you'd rather wait until next summer and get some fresh CORN. Like the other departments o n the base. we were also in the stripe line. Yours truly over-rated with Sgt., Robert Bloomberg super overrated with Staff, Johnny Linn well earned Sgt., Russ Defeyter a n d Les Hawthorne a long waited Cpl.

You can always interest a person in something pleasant, even though-it be a pleasing story or just a pleasant thought, but the average person steers shy mentally of any unpleasantness. Consequently people a r e not "accident conscious". Surprising, isn't it, how careful a man will be with his money home, wife, children and friends, and yet be careless about himself. If the average man checked up on his own physical welfare a s carefully as he does others, there would be a minimum of sickness and accidents. Here on the base it behooves the civilian personnel to check themselves more closely, as last month, for example, the frequency rate in acci'dents was three times greater than the military, and yet the two personnels a r e not comparable in numbers. Each of these groups have an important function in war and it is just a s important that the civilian is on the job .as the soldier. In war, business, industry and finance, there a r e only two important things, Assets and Liabilities. Which one of these a r e you?
