"Melodic Flight," the new OATSC radio program comes direct to you via KSL each Wednesday evening from 11:30 to 11:55 MWT.

Of course, fan mail and requests numbers are cheerfully accepted. Sgt. Robert J. Wise, our genial mailman and bass player, found himself listed as a patient in the station hospital, ward five. After spending a couple of weeks there as an impatient patient he was re leased. Were very happy to have him back with us, it's more like home with him around. O. William R. Parker, our former warrant officer, dropped in to say good-by- e on April 20 prior to his returning to his home in Texas on receipt of an honorable discharge given him at the Bush-ne- ll general hospital. Parker arrived at Hill Field on October 20, 1943, and left April 20, 1945; spending exactly 18 months here. Although he already misses the band, he is also looking forward to enjoying some of the advantages of the kind of life we're fighting Ex-- Having organized our softball teani, we should be able to take other teams on the field during the coming season.
