SPECIAL TRAINING
 FOR NIGHT VISION
Flyers Pay Penalty for GO- ing Into Action Without
 Preparation

New Haven, Conn.,, oct. 6-"Fail- ure to prepare for night duty be- fore going into action is a gross error mad can easily mean the dif- ference between failure and success of the operation" said Walter R.. Miles, Professor of Psychology at Yale University, in the October is- sue of the Yale Scientific Magazine published today.
 Tn his article, entitled Might Vision" pr. Miles reports on his investigation of the adaptability of the eye to darkness from light, stressing the light sensitivity and form acuity demanded by night flying.
 The Yale Scientific Magazine, as the only Yale undergraduate pulp lication at the present time, has broadened Its scope to include furth- CT aspects of Yale at war. In the scurrent issue, Howard Odell, head coach of the Yale football team, dicuSses the change demanded by football in wartime.
 The "war system" now used at Yale is a four-ply program charac- terized by more deception, more individual and less power blocking, more passing, and a reduction in the number of plays" said MT. Odell. Designed to make the best use of the varied material available, 1t is a balance between running and pass ing, offensive and defensive plays.
 Also included in the october issue is an article, New Vitamin Sources, :" by pr. Paul R. Burkholder, Associate Professor of Plant Physiology at Yale University, and Q discussion of early automobiles by Sidney Wilmington, member of the stan of the electrical engineering depart ment of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad.

The Club has said repeatedly through this column and in other places how very proud it is of the members of it's Girls Service Or ganization. Over and over again they have demonstrated their loy- alty to the USO, with the result that our Staff has been enabled to make available program far more attractive and varied than otherwise would have been possible. Our pride, however, is restricted by no means to their fine spirit = without any further delay we go on record as claiming, right here and now, that THE PERCENTAGE OF GOOD-LOOKING GIRLS IN THE JUNEAU U so IS THE CHEST ANYWHERE. That, friends, is our claim; now all we have to do is prove it. This is where we need your help We want to get a snapshot or other small photograph of each GSO girl with ln the next few days. The purpose is two-fold: we hope to have a composite picture of the entire GSO made up, and we also want to show off boastfully all of our charming girls to the fellows com ing to the Club. We will make an honest effort to keep the pictures safe from being borrowed" by some lonely hearts bound for points north and west. But, GSO mem- oers, suppose you do suddenly find that you've become pin-up girls along with Ann Sheridan and Betty Grable, out in the Aleutians or on one of the Rat Islands.

In it may be found side-by- | side the biggest metropolitan dailies and the four-page weekly issues of communities having little morel than a county wide circulation. It isn't hard to imagine what unex- pectedly finding such a paper here may mean to some fellow coming in from a lonely outpost or on his way home from active service ini the west, perhaps with little or mol word from home in many weeks. We need the cooperation of all you Servicemen in putting this happy suggestion into practical operation.

NOTES

Outstanding even among the many exceedingly delightful parties given for our men by numerous residents of this friendly city was that of last Saturday night at the Aux Beach home of Dr. and Mrs Robert Simpson. More than 80 of the Servicemen and GSO girls were present; and the party was very enthusiastically enjoyed by all of them. The cottage is large and ideally arranged for big gather ings, so we didn't feel at all crowd ed; and our host and hostess were so genuinely cordial and solicitous for our comfort that everyone, even the more shy among us, seemed to feel thoroughly at home. once again Juneau has proven how truly warm-hearted is the quality of it's hospitality!

McGowon Rated the Best

The least criticized umpire in the
industry is Bill MCGOWAN, probably
because he's the most competent.
He's arrogant and seldom permits
discussion by players on his de-
cisions, but on calling balls and
strikes and on the bases he's the
best and players admit it.
Summers, despite that affair at
ST. Louis; Cal Hubbard and Charley
Berry, the former Al-America
football player, who is newcomer
to the league, also are proficient.
Seldom will they call one compared
to the time Eddie Rommel ruled a
home run by Eric McNair at Sports
mans Park in st. Louis. 1t was an
impossibility, for the ball landed in
the grandstand, and every inch of
the grandstand there is in foul ter
ritory. But to Rommel it was a
home run.
There is inefficiency in the trade,
but the honesty is unchallenged. To
illustrate it, we like to recall scene
at Griffith Stadium two years ago.
when Buddy Lewis of the Mats and
Umpire Hubbard were chatting
chummily about their hunting dogs
while perched on a bat trunk. 1t
was a pleasant conversation between
dog lovers, but soon the scene
changed.
A few minutes later Lewis became
involved in an argument with Hub
bard at first base. Cal thumbed
him out of the game and the report
he turned in to headquarters didn't
favor Buddy. Lewis, in fact, had to
pay $50 for his heated talking to
Hubbard
