W fficers and I Win Is l The Globetrotters are made up of some of the finest basketball talent ever seen on a hardwood court. Among them is "Duke" Cumberland, professional guard and a member of the professional team rs which played the collegiate in Chicago earlier this year. Another standout is "Ernie" Price, considered by many coaches to be the finest center and pivot man of all time. "Ernie" has been chosen as center in the professional league ever since it was started. His score totals an average of over a thousand points a season. ,'Babe" Presley is one of the mainstays of the team and one of the finest defensive players in the game today.

Nailing knotty pine wainscoting to the walls in the base chapel is Carpenter Arthur Felt in the above picture. Workmen from the air installations are working hard at the pres" ent time in restoring the building. Base Chapel May Be Used For Christmas Carpenters, painters and electricians from the air installations office are busily at work in the post chapel restoring that building and putting it in first class condition. Officials of the offiee say that the work will be completed by Christmas so that the chaplains at Hill Field will be able to hold services there on that day. The chapel received extensive damage early last spring in one of the worst fires Hill Field has experienced. Little damage was done to the outside of the building, but the interior suffered so much from the smoke and flames that services could not be held there and other buildings have had to be i sed. The interior is being completely overhauled. A new floor and new pews will be installed, a five-foknotty-pin- e wainscote is being placed on the walls with Service the upper part of these being finished with Velox tile. The ceiling of the chapel will be completely covered with Celotex planks, and the purlins and trusses will be cased in. Plans call for new lighting fixtures after necessary repairs have been made to the wiring. All the woodwork will be varnished in natural color and ne;w doors and windows will be installed. A new electric organ has been ordered and is believed to be on its way, although whether it will arrive in time for the Christmas services is not known. Restoration of the chapel will be welcomed by Hill Field's new base chaplain, Capt. Harold D. Hagemann, and assistant, Capt. Vincent J. Coyne. The two officers arrived here only recently after Major Karl A. Tubesing, former base chaplain, left the field for a separation center. ot New Chief Named In Supply Division Lt. Col. O. V.
