'' NOME TAILINCS" :"

For the benefit of the citizens of Nome and the soldiers at the post, we are starting a campaign to get more thoroughly acquaint- ed with the officers here by print ing a series of life sketches of them.
 Captain Garnett ". Martin, post commander of Nome Land ing Field, was born October 4, 1901 Tn the state of Arkansas. His early life and schooling were spent in Arkansas, at the age of Is, he moved to Texas where he finished high school In Texas he also went to business college and launched upon a business career. After spending few years as a wholesale grocery salesman and automobile salesman - his busi- ness carrying him through the states of Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri - he sett ed in Hope, Arkansas, and for l3 years was employed by the Citizens Ma tional Bank of that city. His po sition with the bank terminated with the mobilization of the Ma tional Guard.
 According to Captain Martin, the banking business is not the bed of roseso it would seem to be. As a point for his argument he recalls the years of depression . which hit the banking business rather hard. There was one per iod during that time when depos itors were allowed 10 withdraw on y a certain percent Of their accounts. Then with the entrance of the new administration. he saw business and finance stead fly climb to enjoy the benefits of the national defense program.
 Captain Martins entrance into military circles dates back to May 1921, when he joined the Nation al Guard as buck private. Since then he has been on maneuvers with several different units in diff ferent states. He has the enviable distinction of having worked up through the ranks from a private to his present capacity as post commander. He received his com
The Nome nugget., 1941-11-28

mission as a second Lieutenant in 1928.
 This being his first trip to AL aska, Captain Martin remarked that he enjoyed it very much. He preceded his unit by several weeks and saw such interesting and scenic places as Sitka, Yak utat, Seward, Anchorage, and. Finally, Nome.
 For those who would find their stay here a bit on the disagree able side, Captain Martin recalls a few experiences in his early life in Texas. There were sand storms of such ferocity that one cou d see only short distances. The sand would sift into the houses no matter what their con- struction. Then, too. there were hot winds which would burn gar  dens so dry in 24 hours that one could set them afire by applying a match to them. About cold wea ther-he said that drop in tenn perature from 10 degrees to 0 was a rather commonplace occur renee. During one of the droughs water was precious and none was available for bathing purposes All water had to be hauled great distances and was used only in the barest of necessities.
 In answer to a query as to our position, he remarked: T think that We are well established here and I am very we'll pleased with the situaton.'

Here'n There

Probably one of the hardest jobs Sgt. Herman Wilson has had since he was inducted into the Army was the one given him by Captain Martin: that of talk ing care of the Selectees as they came into the army. Sgt. Wilson, a natural-born fast talker could n't seem to make his tongue function fast enough when he tried to pronounce some of the names of the SelecteeS. The name, being entirely foreign to his repertoire, were as hard to spell as they were to pronounce. They were such tongue tWisters that Sgt Wilson made up names of his own for them and is still struggling along trying to find a better solution for his problem.
 Packages from home are com ing in fast and at the right time now, Christmas packages and What-haVe-you coming in every week.
 Chief pastime of the "non-paok age-gettersa is 10 sweat the more fortunate ones and their packag es. Cpl. Thomas Franks seems to be leading the post in number of packages received with three packages and the expectations of many more Che hopesD.
 Since the doctor threatened those chronic sick call makers with permanent k. D., the num- Der has fallen alarmingly. They must be feeling better in the hos pital, too, and according to some of the inmates antagonistic feel ings toward one another-name- ly, Cpl. Chamblin and Sgt. Fay Tor.
 Now that Sgt. John Wilson is confined to the hospital with an r enlargement of the neck and jaws commonly referred to as the humps, his chief hobby and pastime-that of taking care of the cat and her family of six kittens-seems to have gone to the dogs Cor should we say cats). None of the boys in the barracks seem to take the same maternal interest in the family a did Sgt. Wilson, but the latest bulletin concerning the cat family is, All alive and doing nicely
 We are informed that Sgt. HughstOn Kitchen, post mess ser geant, met with disaster as he and one of his rug-cittin' k. p.'s were on their way home from town last Wednesday night. It seems as though the good bene- dict of the kitchen and his CO., worker wandered off the road and fell into a snow drift up to their necks.
