Sunburnt faeea are roving aroun> d tha squadron with alaraing regulaiv ity. In tha event that the traffic algBsla in Goldsboro should break down, Cpl Paul E. Oelanay or Pvt Ed Aaaalta, or Cpl Johnny Moriarty could use their shining ooeee till repaire are nada. Pvt Joe Bodnar, Just off fUxw lom^, looks like a lost aoul.

Cpl Nick lawloli claims he ia working toe hard. Could be, but that exeeaa weight around his abdoiaen be- liea the fact. However, in all faiz^ ness to him, all of the men are gaining weight. Three cheers for those cooka. They really deserve it. Incidentally, Pfe Tobin of the 333rd Air Base Sqdn need worry no more about how personnel is fed in a blackout. We had one several weeka ago and eandlea, kerosene la^ss, flash lights, hurricane la^^e, etc., were used in the emergency. Rever shall it be aaid that soldiers went hungry because of a dearth of eleo- tricity. Things may come and things nay go, but the aaae halls go on forever. S/Sgt Donald W.

All of SOO'a potential ViiUie Hoppes are warned to sharpen up their cue chalks and get ready, 799^" ttck***- fQHAwon By Sgt. Don Sutherland The squadron's bracers covered themselves with hard-earned glory at last week's fistic exhibition in the Sports Arena. Bill Emat,Fi ghting in the 175-pound class, pou nded out a bloody win in one of the best of the evening. Russ Chapman , diminutive newcomer to the squadron, found himself paired with a much heavier opponent and in spite of a hlcch of KF he had served the pre vious night, was coming up fast at the end when he loet a roundly>bov ed decision. 799's baseball team is shaping up well. The nine Is being built around S/Sgt. Faul Chervinko, foroK er Brooklyn Dodger catcher, and wi ll feature several fomar college and professional men. Outfield woric ia Siqpieeted to be highlighted by the acrobatic antics of Herman Sco tt who la a charter member of tha "lata do it tha hard way" school of thought.The softball team, however, was bad^y weakened during the past week when Carleton Stiles was tran sferred to the AAP jctachmert at Yale University, Stiles had hurled two consecutive victories and was counted on as the mound mainstay of the team. The yearnings of the "88" men will soon be satisfied, n new niano is being installed In the Day Room to add to the general uin. Qe.rracks 640, which has been etrangsly quiet o' nights for tha past few weeks, will soon be bamk to normal, Dick Garrett has transf erred back to the squadron. The T/- Sgt, probabley became diacoura^ when the 802 boys paid no abtentioo to hie nocturnal orations. by Cpl. J.W. O'Hara The squadron's baseball tsHB, making its debut for the season,tr ounced the ^th Avn's club to the tune of 13—5 last week. 1 laying to packed grandstands and bleachers, the 801 boys made a slow start but came through after the sixth frame to score a knockout victory. Store of the afternoon's battle were Sgt. Russell, S/5gt, Her:nann and M/Sgt. fhill. Vfith a loaded schedule coming up the boya feel confidant that la st weeka win will be equalled by many more. Cpl. itanot, 601*8 latrine man, is the squadron's best volley-ball player and any of the boya will vouch for it. Some of them even ra te him tops on the Foot, nanot can be seen in action moot any evening between 1730 and 1930. Cpl. Harry Sayre ia a very ha- ppy guy th*t* past few days.

The boys hope he ts everj'^.hing he wants because ttw» ey all agree, he certainly deservaa tha beat.
