The boys all felt it was a tough break to lose a 1st Sgt. who kept the boys in as good repair as he did. The outing in his honor was a sincere testimonial to the high esteem in which he has been held. It was good knowing you, Furman D. Chapman. Rich- M.O.S. 550 and ard F. Hrebic is the happy owner. What is a 550? Well, it has .to do with wood construction on an airplane. Blueprint read- ing, theory and practice plus on- -. the-jo- b training kept old Dick busy for three months. Most of us thought he had been transferred. "Plenty of entertainment in San Antone,' but it's sure good to be back." Thanks, Dick, ; and we're glad to have you back, too. F-S- gt. S-S- gt. .

He wore a white-whi- te shirt, barber pole cravat, powder-blue sharkskin suit, peppermint stick socks, and perforated footgear. All this sans hat. Don't think any of us could do better.

Since his enthusiasm is so widely shared, we are printing, word for word, his vivid yet accurate account of last week's game: "In a thrill packed last inning spurt, the 8th DUA came from behind to clip the 4135th Squadron H, first half champs, 9 to 8. With' the score 8 to 5 going into the last half of the seventh inning, two out and a man on first, Reineck lined a single to right and Rosenblatt worked Harris for a walk, filling the bases. Fleager dropped a double into left center, scoring two men and bringing the score to 7. Kollar, already with a home run and a double to his credit, slammed out his third extra base hit, a whistling two bagger to left center, sending in the tying and winning runs. Roy Fleager's clutch hitting was also a great factor in He put his 5th the victory. homer of the season on ice early in the game. George Apollo 4 in a Napolitan got 3 out of good day at the plate.- - Reineck was exceptionally fast but poor support in the early innings allowed 4 unearned runs. But we go on record as saying that it was one of the best ball games of the season." . By Cpl.

The squadron party this month, held at Como Springs was apparently a huge success, despite the fact that many of us were unable to attend being on duty. However, most of those who could get there, were there, and we who were left behind have been half-wa- y promised that at the next party we will go and those attending this one will be left behind. Lt. Col. Hatfield, our CO here at the hospital was at the party, as was Mrs. Hatfield, and our detachment commander, Captain Lt. Hansen, and his assistant Levredge. Of course refreshments were served, and there was dancing, roller skating, swimming, bowling, etc., and everyone had; a good time.. Would like to say a word about the wonderful job the hospital is doing in taking care of the evacuee patients that land here frequently. It's a terrific job and requires a lot of care.
