GI Joe Will Open
Bag of Chemical
War Tricks Here
Except for what’s strictly hush-
hush, GI Joe will open his bag of
chemical warfare tricks before
Chapel Hillians next Tuesday at
Fetzer Field.
It all will be part of the Sixth
War Bond Drive and for Pre-
Flight cadets, officers, enlisted and
civilian personnel it will be a
thrilling spectacle.
Forty-five chemical warfare
specialists and the 35-piece 225th
Army Ground Force Band, under
the command of Col. H. W. Pool
of Camp Butner, N. C., will play
the feature parts in the exhibi
tion, which is scheduled to start at
1615.
Flame Throwers to Spout
The bazooka, famed in song
and story, is to be fired. Flame
throwers are to spout. Grenades
are to be hurled and smoke screens
and flares are to be touched off.
It’s to be a one-hour saga of mod
ern weapons of war.
The show, arranged by Lieut.
George Speizman and s/S Leon
Bernard, is expected to be one of
the highlights of this station’s ex
tra cash War Bond campaign and
may well rank as one of the most
interesting events of the year
here.

War Bond Sale
To Be Double-
Barreled Drive
Purchase of one $100 bond per
person will be the goal when the
Navy’s annual Pearl Harbor Day
extra cash War Bond sale is con
ducted from December 1 to 7, in
clusive, and on the eve of the drive
the Office of Coordinator for War
Bonds is hopeful of setting a new
national record.
Navy Pre-Flight at Chapel Hill
—whose cadets, officers, enlisted
and civilian personnel spent $133,-
041 for bonds last July 4—is
geared to launch its own drive.
Lieut. Comdr. W. C. Clark, bond
officer at this station, has an
nounced that the Pre-Flight sale
will be conducted on Dec. 1, 2, 4
and 5.
Officers Buy Dec. 1
Officers of Chapel Hill are urged
to buy their bonds in the Chap
lain’s office in Alexander Hall on
Friday, Dec. 1, between 0800 and
1600. Cadets will purchase in
Navy Hall, dates and time to be
announced.
The Pearl Harbor Day cam
paign falls within the scope of the
Treasury’s Sixth War Loan Drive.
Not only will Navy civilian and
uniformed personnel, who make
their bond purchases between Dec.
1 and 7, have these credited to
Navy campaign but the re
sults, in turn, will be included in
the Treasury drive total. This,
therefore, will be a double-bar
reled campaign.
War bonds of Series E, F and
G will be counted in determing
sales volume. Only cash sales are
eligible, and bonds purchased un-
^er the payroll savings or mili
tary allotment plans will not be
counted in the Pearl Harbor Day
total.

This week the Cloudbuster in
troduces a new page 1 “flag”, an
F4-U Navy “Corsair” drawn for
the Pre-Flight School weekly by
James T. Berryman of the Wash
ington Evening Star, one of the
country’s top-ranking newspaper
artists.
Aside from his brilliant news
paper cartoons, Mr. Berryman
won national fame during the
search for the kidnaper of the
Lindbergh baby. Borrowed by the
FBI, he sketched from a descrip
tion so striking a likeness of
Bruno Richard Hauptmann that
the convicted kidnaper was recog
nized and apprehended. Again
working with the FBI, Mr. Ber
ryman later duplicated his re
markable feat in the Matson kid
naping case.
Negro Waves Sworn In

City and Boston, it was an
