A unique sort of tournament was
recently held in the recreation room
of the Detachment Corps of Mill
tary Police, SOU 1922.
Sixteen men started the champion
ship tournament Refreshments
were provided from the Detachment
Fund. The tournament went along
very smoothly from the beginning
to the end
One of the most amazing spec
tacles was the finals. Sgt William
B. Rucker, of Chicago, Illinois, gen.
orally conceded to be the best pool
player in the Detachment, was. elm
mated in the semi-finals by a freak
play, when he accidentally made the
8-ball "before time" This lost him
his chance to live up to the repu-
tation as Detachment champion to
Pfc. Joseph Cobufn, of Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma.
The final game was played be-
tween Pfc. Coburn and Pvt. Robert
McCloud. of Houston, Texas. Pfc.
Coburn won the championship and
a jointed specially-made cue stick,
value of which is $3.50. The second
prize was $500.
The prizes were presented to the
players by the Detachment Com
mander, 1st 1t. Richard T. Greene,

Greetings, Mr.. and Mrs. Huachu-
ca. Lend me your ears!
AS my first article I would like to
tell you something about the brief
history of the 310th Quartermaster
Railroad Company.
This unit was activated by the
Third Army on March 8, 1943; six
days later, March 18th, the Cadre
came from Fort Lewis, Washing
ton.
When the Filters arrived GA April
6, preparations for Basic Training
were begun; actual training began
on April II.
During the short course of three
months. this unit has been attached
to the 92nd Infantry Division, 10th
Headquarters Special Troops, Third
Army, and the 560th Quartermaster
Service Bn.
Our Company TO anticipates
that this unit will distribute classes
l, 2, 8, and 4 supplies to a total
of 25,000 troops.
At the present time, this company
is acting as Railhead for the 56Oth
Quartermaster Service Battalion.
Last but not least, we have been
honored with a promotion in rank
of our Commanding Officer formerly
fst 1t. Richard L. Witty, now Cap
tain Witty.
I'll be seeing you next week!

The WAC and the PIX
T/SGT. BETTE KERR
** * *

The one important institution on
any Army Camp, Post, or station,
IN the field or wherever soldiers are
concentrated, is the Post Exchange
or as it is more commonly called,
the P. X"
This instrument of service salts
fieS the needs of the Army person
mel in many ways. First, it is
place where articles as small as a
pin or as large as a footlocker are
sold. Where cold drinks and food
may be purchased and consumed,
accompanied by the favorite tunes
of the day as rendered by the Juke
Box. The clerks are picked for their
ability to be congenial with the
customers and to help them in any
way. Fort Huachuca Post Exchange
is. one of the largest exchange sys-
TENS on any Post and can well boast
of clean, well equipped, well stocked
Exchange Stores.
Into this important system came
the WAC to play an important part
in the running of the numerous
Exchanges.
Coming into country strange to
most of them, adjusting themselves
to a camp as large as Huachuca
getting accustomed to being ION the
spot" because they were the first
women soldiers the 93rd Division
and the Post Headquarters had seen,
V1n 10
equal to the situation and settled
down to the business at hand. It
was with this same spirit that the
girls assigned to the PIX" duty
showed as they took over their Jobs
assigned. Their ability shown in the
way they handled key jobs given
over to the min the Exchange Sys-
tenn proved their worth many times.
A truck furnished especially for
these workers is furnished to trans
port the WACs to their jobs daily.
1t is plenty of work that there girls
do and often firing Especially pay
day) but great deal of pleasure
and real happiness is derived from
the thought that they are a part
OF an lnSClIuClon SO important to
the soldier.
The coming of the 92nd Division
found the WACs ready and willing
to be of service to the new troops
as they entered the PIX" (and that
is one of the first places explored by
new troops upon entering new
post) to greet them with friendly
smile and most important of all
to pass a few moments time just
talking to the lonesome, homesick
soldier
