Page Four CLOUDBUSTER Saturday, June 17, 1944 Special Independence Day War Bond Drive Will be Held Here Out to better the total of 87,000 dollars worth of war bonds sold at this activity on Pearl Harbor Day, an “all-out” Cash WAR BOND SALE will be conducted between July 1 and July 6 in Room 113, Alex ander Hall. Special meetings with all battalions will be held during the next few days. The goal of this command is to average $100 dollars for ■ ——<^each officer, cadet, enlisted man, and civilian personnel at this sta- —Coming Up— tion. COVEY (Continued from page one) in the art of using the mimeo- scope. Mrs. Nelson and her crew also issue twenty books to each room cadets occupy while in training here and check them back in whenever a room is vacated. This storeroom also issued eleven tech nical books and pamphlets to each cadet who goes through pre-flight training, and checks them back in when the cadets are transferred. And, if this wasn’t enough, they also issue books, pamphlets, syn thetic devices, navigational aids, etc. to the heads of the different departments. Located next door to the Aca demic Storeroom is the general storeroom, in charge of B. D. Cox, SK2c, assisted by M. A. Lovera, SK3c. This storeroom i ssues paper, erasers, ink, and all the other necessities of an office, and they average over nine hundred issues per month. Along with his other duties, Cox paints signs, and is very adept at cartooning. Leaving Cox and Lovera, I went over to Mangum Hall where I found W. G. McMahon, S2c, guarding the self-preservation stores. McMahon handles all the materials used by the cadets on their cherished hikes, such as packs, canteens, sleeping bags, blankets, mess gear, shelter halves, machetes, hand axes, and the like. On top of this, he issues “K” rations to the hikers, and takes care of the tools used in the victory garden. Adjoining McMahon’s hangout is the only all-civilian manned storeroom on the station, the linen room. Commanded by C. W. “Shorty” Sanders, this estab lishment handles all the flat laun dry used on the station, picking up the dirty sheets, towels, pillow cases, and such, and delivering freshly laundered work to the dif ferent dormitories. Wiley Frank lin, W. Williams, and T. Marin are Mr. Sanders’ assistants, and they handle some three thousand towels, two thousand seven hun dred fifty sheets, and fourteen hundred pillow cases and spreads each week, and they always get them moved on time. In the basement of Manley, all by himself, is H. S. Baumgardner, S2c, who sees to it that all used athletic gear is collected and for warded to the repair shop for such salvage as is possible. Moving over to Aycock, we find Marion Clark, SK2c, in charge of UNC Instructors Address Holdovers University of North Carolina personnel, in collaboration with the ENS department, have been providing informative and lively sessions for holdover groups in re cent weeks. Among those who have address ed the cadets is Professor Albert Coates, director of the Institute of Government, who led a discus sion on postwar civic problems. Mrs. Kate Farrell, former in structor at Japan’s University of Nagasaki and now attached to the Carolina YWCA, spoke to two groups of cadets on her experi ences in Japan. Professor Phillips Russell, jour nalist and author, combined a dis cussion of John Paul Jones with interesting bits of Chapel Hill his tory. Professor S. E. Leavitt spoke on South America. the issue of new athletic gear. Clark is aided by E. H. Johnson, S2c, Mr. J. W. Norwood, and Mr. P. K. Sparrow. In addition to is suing the athletic equipment, this storeroom sells cadet luggage, ships and receives all household effects after seeing that they are properly crated and packed, and handles various other items that are of interest to the station. Last, but positively not least, is the organization known as “Small Stores.” 0. 0. Scott, SK2c, is the maestro in charge down there, and he has four other sailors and one civilian under his watchful eye. They are, A. K. Nelson SK2c, T. E. Weatherman, SKSc, A. H. Scho- ville, S2c, L. L. White, S2c, and Mr. Bill Merritt. Scotty says that small stores are issued to the crew of this station, the cadets, the French unit, the V-12 unit, the Naval medical stu dents, the crew of the Recruiting Station in Raleigh, and the NROTC of the University of North Carolina. Items that can be purchased include clothes, shoes, rating badges, and other wearing apparel. Each week, ON WEDNESDAYS, cash sales are held for the benefit of the station personnel, and from eight hundred to fifteen hundred dollars worth of merchandise is sold each week. - At the present time, small stores issue about 10,000 dollars worth of clothing per month, and sell $5,000 worth for cash. At times the total issues and cash sales have amounted to a quarter of a million dollars per quarter. Today at 1600: Maxton Air Base vs. Pre- Flight in baseball on Emerson Field.

BASEBALL (Continued from page three) Catcher Jim Castiglia, but Jim blocked the plate so thoroughly that Crampsey was lifted bodily and dumped aside without touch ing the plate. Castiglia then re trieved the ball and tagged the runner before he could score. The Cloudbusters scored in the opening frame when Jim Mc Donald was hit by a pitched ball and John McDonald followed with a single to right. Trippi’s attempt to head off the runner at third went wild, and one McDonald scored, the other reaching second. A pass to Dusty Cooke and singles by Crampsey and Phil Larkin pro duced the second and third runs. In a special memorandum from the Commanding Officer it was pointed out that, “By purchasing War Bonds, Americans are buying shares in Victory and Freedom, and it is the sacred duty of all hands to participate in this “all- out” War Bond Drive to help make this Independence Day one our ENEMIES WILL NEVER FORGET.” 88.4% of the personnel of this Station participated in the Pearl Harbor drive, and the amount subscribed was equal to more than 47 % of the monthly payroll of the entire Station. In a recent directive on the July 4th Campaign, Secretary'Forres- tal commented that this year, the campaign falls within the period of the Fifth War Loan Drive of the Treasury Department, and the Navy sales program, consequently* will benefit from the widespread publicity given the Treasury cam paign. “When the final results of the Navy’s Independence Day Extra War Bond Sale are announced, said Secretary Forrestal, “I am confident that another brilliant record will be added to the history of accomplishment by Navy per* sonnel.” A special pay day for all cadets at this station will be made b©" tween July 1 and July 6 so tha* they will be able to participate 100% in the local drive. All officers, enlisted men and civilian personnel are urged to purchase their own as well aS their families’ War Bonds through our bond officer. 53rd Battalion Tops in Academics Replacing the outgoing 48th at the top in Academics is the newly arrived 53rd Battalion with ^ mark of 94.58, while the present senior battalion—the 49th—-is second place with 91.12.
