AROUND
the
STATION
Shopping for Christmas is no
picnic but Lieut. Dan M. Patter
son, Cadet Store officer, is trying
to make it as painless as possible.
If you don’t see what you want,
ask for it,” he sings out.
Only a limited supply of mer
chandise is on hand but if there
some gift you want that is not
in stock, Lieut. Patterson’s de
partment will order through the
I ^"holesale house, if obtainable.
‘ Illustrated catalogs are available
for the convenience of those who
^on’t see what we want.”
Memo to the station’s non
travelers: The Officers’ Club is
opening at 1330 today, com

We Have To Buy
Washington (CNS)—Cost of

been placed by President Roose
velt at $7,500,000,000 — rough

62nd Batt Leads
By Point As Mat
Battle Nears End
From an original field of 72
participants, 18 finalists will meet
Monday afternoon to decide the
champions in the annual fall
wrestling tournament.
Four battalions are participat
ing, and after the first round
matches early this week, the 62nd
led with 9 points, the 63rd had 8,
61st 6, and the 64th 2. Single
points were scored for each fall
cr forfeit.
In the final tabulation, the win
ner of each weight will receive 5
points for his battalion, the run-
ner-up 3, and third place will be
worth one., Wrestling weights
are 136 pounds, 142, 148, 154,
160, 166, 172, 178 and heavy
weight.
Most of the bouts were marked
by some fine wrestling, and many
of the winners are expected to be
members of the varsity team this
fall and winter.
Crack Of Jap Unlikely,
Adm. Hardison Predicts
Rear Admiral 0. B. Hardison,
USN, Chief of Naval Air Pri
mary Training, asserts that “I,
for one, don’t believe the Japa
nese will crack or fold up, as the
saying goes,” in a statement at
Columbus, Ohio. “Predictions are
dangerous,” he said, “but the best
authorities agree that we are
likely to have a year or more of
fighting against the Japs after
the war is over in Europe.”
It Probably Left Him
Pretty Frightened, Too
A young Marine lying in a fox
hole on Saipan was given a letter
during the thick of battle. Bul
lets and shells were whining
overhead and things were pretty
rough in general. On opening the
letter, the Marine found a bill
from a Chicago business concern
for $3.52. A notation on the bill
read: “If this bill is not paid in
five days, you will find yourself
in serious trouble.”
