MAJOR AND MRS. GEORGE
W1 MILHOLLAND, of Fort
Myer, are leaving Washington
January q on leave and will
visit in Texas and New Mexico
before returning somewhere

sylvania for duty. Major Mil
holland, who has been at Fort
Myer for four years, has a host
of friends here who are going
to be truly depressed over his
going.
And-the newspaper people
are going to be particularly
sorry, for he was most kind
about giving them all the news
possible to give out and doing it
in way that made newSgather-
ing from him, a pleasure. Major
Milholland was always one Of
the leading spirits in the annual
Fort Myer pageant and was
about the only person who could
make the debutantes get out
here on time for rehearsals.
lie also used to broadcast the
friday afternoon rides and did
swell job of it.
Yesterday, at the Friday ride,
most amusing thing took
lace. Capt. Tom Hickey, who
"a very regular person and who
going to take Major Milhol-
and'S place in the broadcaStS,
vent into the booth and began
his special say. At that mo-
nent, the control system went
laywire and all that came out
to the audience, were series OF
screeches, meanings and q mere
whisper Of Captain Hickey's
voice.
The audience, not knowing
what was happening, did not
know whether to blame the ra-
dio or Captain Hickey. The next
riding event, Major Milholland
was scheduled to handle and as
he went on, the mike, regatned
it's natural state and his voice
came over as clear as a bell. All
of which made Captain Hickey's
first appearance very discourag-
ing, Major Milholland'S even
better than usual and caused
several of the majors intimates
to ask him if he had been tinker
ing with the mike before CaI
tain Hickey arrived.
Col. and Mrs. Oscar GriSWold,
gave a dinner in their home last
night for a goodly number OF
guests.

T IEUT. COMDR. EDDIE E
IL PIERCE, with his first COM
mand aboard the U.S.S. Schenck,
had to stay behind in a hospital
in New Orleans and see his ship
sail away without him, all be-
cause of q slight matter Of sight
seeing and a slippery cooole'
stone. For Commander Pierce
was so intent on looking at some
of those gorgeous old homes IN
New orleans, that his feet
slipped right off the wet cobble-
stones and he fell, with q nasty
two.bone break in his leg. He Is
recuperating nicely and every
one is glad, for Commander
pierce is one of the incest and
wittiest persons stationed here
in many a day.
