Since the tender age of 13, ' Schack has been mystifying audiences on a professional basis in private homes, men's clubs, : banquets, parties and what have . you, in and around Newark, N. J., . where he lived. The other night he stretched the eyeballs of several of his fellow G. I s. by placing 26 numbers on a blackboard, writing words suggested by them opposite each number and then, blindfolded, repeating the word as they called out the numbers. He says his limit on this is MX). The beautiful part about this Is that, according to Schack, anybody can do it All it takes is plenty of mental conditioning. One of his specialties is giving memory demonstrations in which he pit his memory against the combined memories of bis audience. Needless to say, he always ends up holding the long end. As a magician, Schack shies away fom tricks requiring much apparatus. Artists who use this he points out, simply method, ' lessen their own prestige as the audience marvels more at the equipment than at the operator. About a month and a half ago Schack performed before goggle-eyeresidents at Hill crest At other camps he has emceed vari ous entertainment shows. He was ' member of Wacki Kaki, wide-G. L stage show that toured several southern camps. One of his feats of legerdemain that never failed at spread-eag- llag his audience in their seats was putting three dirty handkerchiefs In an empty Lux box and drawing them out clean as a planes frequenting our field, increasing production, quotas, the location here of three specialized depot and a fourth contemplated, and our announced need for additional workers to sense our expanding responsibility.

In determining how many "years of service" you have, you should, in general, include all your years of service as an employe of regardless the federal government of whether or not all of such service was in positions subject tjrthe ..tinmnt act Honorable military service which does noi whmwuw should also the basis for a pension be included. If retirement deductions were not taken from your compensation during any part of this service (because you were not then subject to the retirement act) be acyour annuity benefits will cordingly reduced by an amount equal to the annuity the deductions would have purchased had howthey been taken. You tomay, acyour ever, elect to deposit count a sum, plus interest equal to the appropriate deductions at the rates which were applicable in question and during the periodsservice credit for thus obtain full all your years of service. If you elect to make these defor posits, you must make them dethe entire time during which deductions were not taken. No posit is required for periods of service rendered prior to .August 1, 1920, as full credit is gjyen automatically without payment From that date on, the rates of deductions were 2 per cent of your basic salary from August 1, 1920, to June 30, 1926, 3 per cent from July 1, 1926 to June 30, 1942, and five per cent thereafter. If you wish to make these deposits in order to obtain full credit for the periods of service during which you were not subject to the Act you should apply through the civilian personnel division, headquarters, AAF, .to the civil service commission using civil service form No. 3012. The commission will inform you of the amount to be paid and give you any necessary instructions. Such payments need not necessarily be made in a lump sum, but may be paid in easy installments. In order to get an accurate statement of the number of "years of service" you have to your credit for retirement purposes, you should present your individual case with all details, to the civilian personnel division, headquarters, AAF, You are urged, however, to present your case only if you are seriously desirous of making the deposits necessary to obtain full service credit At any time after completing five years of service and prior to the automatic retirement age of. 70, if you become disabled (by reason of "disease or injury not due to vicious habits, intemperance, or wilfull misconduct") to the extent that you can no longer usefully and efficiently discharge the duties and responsibilities of your job, you may retire on an annuity computed according to whichever of the three plans,, outlined last week, results in the greatest benefit to you. Ordinarily if you should become disabled at age 60, with 30 years of service, or at age 62 with 15 years of service, you would retire under the optional retirement provisions rather than for disability. The application for retirement un der this provision must be filed either before retirement or within six months thereafter. It is important to note that if you fail to apply within the stated period, you will lose your annuity rights under this provision. (The act provides, however, for certain exceptions from this requirement for mentally incompetent persons.)
