noimced this week.
The product of kmg experiment
by the Ordnance Department, our
Baiooka gun haa been In action for
aeveral months on various foreign
fronts. It has proved its^ ef
fective against waUa. masonry,
structural steel, railroad ralla, as
well as tanks. In (me North Afri
can campaign, the basooka akme
destroyed six enemy tanks.
It’s really a launcher, thla new
weapon. R's a metal tube a little
over 50 tnehes long axut leas than
8 inches in diameter, and open at
both ends. A shoulder stock and
grips, together with sights, cnn-
plete the gun proper. An electric
bf.ttery sets off the propelling
charge when the trigger's squeezed.
Two men operate it—a loader
tjd a flrer. The loader dioves the
rocket pro)ectlle. about two feet
long and looking like a small aerial
bomb with Its atabUlstng fins, into
tbe back of the lauxmher. When the
tlrer pulls the trigger, the pro-
• pelUng charge fla^ms from the
rear of the tube and sends tbe
rocket whistling » its way.
The Bazooka supplements, rather
than supersedes, other weapens. It
has proved valuable for raiding
parties storming pillboxes and has
also oeen used ^ reconnaissance
groups. It's a goo(i weapon to have
on our side, they all agree.
Men wbo’ve been hospitalised for

being brought back to full health

Instituted a few months back la
every Army Air Forces hospital
tbivughout the nation, tbe program
begins when tbe man nag re
covered enoui^ to enter it. Coo-
slsting of games, sports, calisthen
ics sitd educational training, tbe
schedule takes a few hours out of
his day and makes hospital life a
lot less enervating.
First Lt. Max Brunswick, Con
valescent Training Officer at the]
Station hospital has planned thel
recuperative hours from 1000 to 11-
80 and from 1300 to 1815. During
this time, men under his care go
through the program according to
schedule. Most popular of all is
the time spent In the Crafts shop
where men make model airplanes
and do leather work.
Lectures and movies form anoth
er Important part of bis day. Piling
Into tbe Hospital's Red Cross Au
ditorium, the men hear talks on
camouflage, military courtesy,
identificatloo of aircraft, arma-
ent. and chemical warfare. The ob
ject of the program being to re
turn tbe man to active duty at his
post as rapidly as possible, these
lectures help to keep him abreast
of bis training.
Whether he's a Permanent Par
ty man, a student, or a man as
signed to some o^er work, he's
kept well up on things be should
know about. Games, too, help to
make his stay in the hospital
shorter. Men with ailments rcngtng
from borken arms' to pae»*"«*«is.
ooce they have progreased to a
certain point, may partake In these
sports. Table tennis, baseball, and
football are the most popular.
It’s not at all umisuiu to see
men with one arm In a brace hav
ing the tune of thalr ttvea batting
a p^-poQg ban aroood. They
make eompetisaUnne for their
handicaps and hi ao doing, hasten
their own recovery.
Assisted by the Red Cross work
ers at the hospital, tbs men find
E leasore in all tbsae actlvltlea. Cal-
ithmilcs and diiU remind theua
that they're still In the Anny. herw-

bers’ entrance fee for tbe blind-
bogey will be SOc. Every penny of
revenue taken in during the day
will be put into War Stamps for
this contest and due to this ges
ture on tbe part of tbe Goldsboro
Golf Club, the Third War Loan
Committee solicits the support of
the public —civilian and military.
If you plan to play —or watch
—one round of golf this year, do
it Sunday when your greens fee or
admlssitm will go toward the war
effort.
There win be matches between
officers and enlisted men repre
senting Johnson Field and lead
ing Goldsboro golfers. In the fea
ture match, Captain Alexander
Knapp will play in a ftnirsome
with Lt Smith, against Wyatt
Holmes, local professional star,
and a leading Goldsboro amateur.
