White-Towered Church

1t was spring wanderlust that took
one off to Kinsman, Ohio, a few
miles from the Pennsylvania bor-
der, place every Ohioan ought to
know. Dominating the town is its
impressive white-towered church,
set on hill, beautiful old grave
yard clustering about it, surrounded
by some of the most gorgeous trees
in the state. Standing up there on
the steps of the old church, it's pill

Leslie Lawrence Post Auxiliary
American Legion has announced
the discrimination of the remem-
ORANGES to the men being indicted
into the armed forces. This is due
to inadequate funds. Through the
help of many friends who were not
members of the auxiliary, the or
ganization was able to give these
gifts to nearly two hundred men.
The auxiliary is very grateful for
the assistance received from these
interested persons.
Soldiers of the week: Tully Hick-
man, Staff Sgt. of the 92nd In
fantry Division, leads an exciting
life as an observation pilot in the
92nd Division Artillery in one of
the Monoplanes looming over Fort
Mcclellan and that vicinity. Sgt.
Hickman is a native of st. Paul
and has been in the army for almost
year. On entering the armed
forces, he was sent to Advance
Training School, Tuskegee, then
transferred to Marshall Field, Ala
bama, where he spent three months
as Staff Sergeant at Fort Sill,
Oklahoma.
On being questioned by an inter-
viewer as to his most exciting mo-
ment, his characteristic reply was

What's In a Hangar?

A hangar, says the dictionary, is
"a shed for storing vehicles, espe-
cially aircraft" But that's about the
only purpose the hangers are NOT
used for at Randolph Field, Texas,
West Point of the Air. The spa
cious structures house a dormitory,
a mess hall, a skating rink and
dance floor, bowling alleys, an ice
cream parlor, a couple branch post
exchange, courts for basketball, vol
ley ball and badminton. OF course,
most of the hangers are equipped
with machinery for the maintenance
and repair of Randolph's host of
training planes. But the ships are
taken indoors only when in need of
tinkering. In almost constant use
by the aviation cadets, the sturdy
ships are moored on the aprons"
during the brief intervals when not
in the air.
