It was with the deepest regret that the members of the hospital person nel bade farewell .to Major Phillip A. Sheaff, former assistant to the com manding officer, as he departed for IT. S. A, General Hospital No. 36 at Detroit, Mich. Major Sheaif wag one of the oldest members of the hospital staff, having come to this station more than a yeal ago, on October 31, 1917, to be ex plicit, with the rank of first lieuten ant. At that time he had charge of one of the lower wards in “B” row. Early in 1918 he became assistant to the adjutant and on February 25 was promoted to the grade of captain. He acted in’this capacity until July, when he accepted the position of adjutant for the hospital, with the appointment of Lieut.-Col. George A. Renn, then Major Renn, to commanding officer. On August 7, 1918, he became assist ant to Lieut.-Col. Renn and remained in that position of authority until his recent transfer. He’ was appointed major oii October 4, 1918. ACCOMPANIES MAJOR. Lieutenant ’William E. Smith, for merly of the medical service, has been transferred from this station to TJ. S. Army General Hospital N'o. 36, near Detroit, Mich. ARRIVE FOR DUTY. Lieut. Arthur Guerra, M. C., arrived here Monday from New Haven, Conn., and has been assigned to the labora tory for duty. Lieut. Louis Marcou of Maine is another recent arrival and has been attached to the surgical staff, as was also Lieut. Charles W. De- mong, who, is now connected with Ward C-5. THE M. T. C. INSIGNIA. The winged hat shown on the new M. T. C. collar insignia is the classical broad brimmed Petasus, as worn by the Greek God Hermes (Mercury), the God of roads and also the swift and sure messenger of the Gods. The wheel on which the winged hat is superimposed is symbolic of power. In this case of course, it represents the- power ag found in the motor vehicles. Somebody, by the way, has said that the man who first invented the wheel did more for civilization than any other person, a statement that affords some room for thought. It was a mirthful occasion, when a small party of Camp Greene officers found its way to Oteen, N. C., and ■' visited over Saturday and Sunday, .Tanuary 11 and 12, 1919, former Camp Greene base hospital nurses. The most beau,tiful location of U. S. General Hospital No. 19, plus the attractiveness of their Red Cross building and the coz^ Laurel Tea- House added indeed to make the oc casion most joyful. Through the gratefulness of Miss Standish, the chief nurse, the doors, of the Red Cross building were flung wide open for the exclusive use of the happy party. The Laurel Tea-House is a log struc ture in which the most delicious meals are served. It is located on the hos pital grounds. The interior of this cabin, with its spaceous artistic fire place and the rustic furnishings of un paralleled beauty, presents the sort of place in which the “linger-long” feeling seizes one in spite of all other desires, which were indeed most con spicuous by their absence. THREE OFFICERS DISCHARGED. The latest decrease in the person nel of the U. S. A. base hospital was made by the discharge of three lieu tenants, Wilfred McGurl of the medi cal service; Byron Daniel of the X- ray department, and Henry Thomas, anaesthetist, of the operating room. 13 ACCOMPANY PATIENT.
