What with marching many miles in parades in all kinds of weather, playing at retreat and formation ceremonies, putting on concerts, and rehearsing constantly, you could almost say the band "leads a dog's life." Well, here's the dog that leads a band's life. He is "Butch", official mascot of the 549th Air Force Band at Hill Air Force Base. Butch, a registered pure-bre- d English bull, was presented to the band by Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Zona of Ogden. Butch lives at the barracks with his buddies and was just measured for his set of "blues" and an appropriately engraved blanket. Butch is being trained to accompany the band on all assignments.

Sgt. Ellis Baird, photo., extraordinaire, is keeping certain of his talents under wraps. A connoisseur of malt beverages, milk base naturally, Ellis claims among his most cherished possessions, in addition to his chit books at the NCO club, a most vivid imagination. One evening not too long ago, Ellis and certain of his bunk room buddies became just a bit overheated while arguing about the relative merits of Blue Ribbon and Rolling Rock. Digging deep into his memory Sgt. Baird recalled invaluable infantry i tactics. He seized an overgrown smoking stand; sliDoed off the toD and voila. a 60 mm. mortar. A football served as the projectile, and he enemy Baird forces, Sgt. George Ford, began an orderly retreat. The finishing touch was not long in coming as Baird seized still another smoking stand and with the flick of a wrist converted it into a deadly bazooka. Victory was his! The enemy fled in complete disorder. Now there's just one trouble. Talent scouts for the Infantry school at Fort Knox have been holding secret conversations with 1st soldier George Mandzak, and Baird is plenty worried. They want to give him a commission! Hut, tup, thirp, furp! Cmon Baird, get with it! HILL SKIERS SET SITZMARK RECORD The snow covered slopes of ever popular Brighton saw a new high In low type ski - ing the other week. Local ski instructors thought seriously about changing their sport to ping pong as the boys in blue, from the frigid reaches of Hill AFB, donned the slippery bed boards. Ray Steinke and Phil Bramlett, corporals in the rear rank, seemed just a bit backward to some citizens. The duo couldn't make it down the hill in the conventional manner, but rather assumed a position that does not make for well pressed britches. Ray says you get used to sleeping on your stomach 1 after a week or two. Phil's only comment was that the service at the base hospital is fine. He'll be able , Bramlett to walk without limping sometime before Spring. The skis used by the crippled corporals made fine kindling wood. Pride of Stat Services, Keinnom ut s a ramuy name; t rea ueriacn, also a freshman on the mechanized tooth picks, found he lacked just one thing when he reached School hill. The g.i. ski boots were so big Fred had forgotten to bring the skis. Hill AFB was well represented the day Heff and spouse left their mark on the Brighton slope. TSgt. Jim Glenn, now on his second season of sitzing, led a party up the precipitous road to the lodge. The trip was a rugged one with hot rodders Glenn and Steinke however, one tremendous disappointment to the air-bospinning out on a well iced turn. There was, men visitors. Gad, man, the price of beer has gone Steinke up. Something has to be done about this inflation! SHANNNON WINS TRENCHERMAN TITLE WITH BARE HANDS Sgt. Gene Shannon, recently returned from Public Information School is a happy lad now. It seems the sergeant's waist line was meltone of ing faster than a snow man in July. Over the week-en- d Shan's buddies treated the Hamilton, Ohio airman to the luxury of a steak dinner. Although his appetite was dulled by breakfast and lunch at the mess hall the sergeant managed to choke down a dainty snack consisting of a pound of top grade sirloin, two large helpings of French fries, seconds on salad and desert, plus a medium sized can of olives, and enough vino to float a small battleship. (Just a small one, now.) With his shoes off, and a fragrant seegar between his tooth, Sgt. Shannon allowed that there might be something to this matrimonial deal.. The 'phone number is 203, gals. Shan is heading back to the Buckeye state for the holidays. He's not worried about getting back to Hill either. After two weeks of Mom's cooking Sgt. Shannon will just point himself at Utah, and roll on in. Speaking of holidays, the bane of Baird, Cpls. Sally Wilklns and Lee Mullinix, are also hitting the happy road for home. Sally, a pert red head, will hustle off to Hammond, Indiana. Lee is bound for Lowry AFB, near Denver, where she will play Santa for husband Bob, who's base.
