Corregidor, he states that it was "a
typical peace-time Army post, con-
sisting of four regiments of Coast
Artillery and special troops attached.
The training routine consisted of
the usual field exercises and night
problems" He hopes that the Japs

My Impressions
Of Lena Horne">
By S/SGT. ALVA ID. JACKSON
714th Medical Sanitary Co.


A recent day was a very impor-
tant day with me, as I was doing all
I could, and making every arrange
ment possible to see Lena Horne the
following night. Not only did want
to see her starring performance, but
I wanted her autograph as well. So,
during the afternoon I put extra
speed and effort in all of my work
in order to get off early, rush to the
theater and get front seat.
My plans of getting off early and
getting to the theater worked out
wonderful, so did those of the 9TH
er hundreds who were already there
when I arrived. The crowd was very.
merry, even with doubt in their
hearts that many of them were not
going to get in see Lena Horne as
the new theater would not hold all
of the crowd. However, many 9TH
ers and myself took chance on the
tail end of long line. Inch by inch,
l got almost to the door, about IL
men from the ticket window. When
did get enough courage to think
I was about to get in, heard voice
yell Full Up!"
well, I will try to see Lena Horne
later on tonight" I whispered to
myself. Then I noticed few SOL
dlers rushing towards the rear Of
the building. stepped to the side
OF the building to see what was COL
ing on and discerned an angel-like
personality dressed in beautiful
gown writing in window. I rushed
back there with the small lucky
croWd ana to my surprise, it was
Lena Horne writing autographs on
caps, neck ties, and other articles for
the soldiers. When she politely took
my pen and autograph book, 1 all
most shouted. hadn't felt so happv
since the day won a prize in a,
Songwriting contest. I was full of
life, vim, and everything good.
She must have noticed the anxiety
ana appreciation in my smile. as she
set her beautiful eyes on mine for
at least 10 seconds. When she fin
1shed my autograph I would not be
greedy by holding the others back.
gladly stepped aside SO nv other
soldier brothers could have a chance.
was indeed impressed by her kind
ness and patience with the soldiers.
Not many stars as great as Lena
Horne would have granted us such
favors. can see now why she ia.
so popular and SO successful. She
deserves all of it and even more.
She is indeed the QUEEN OF

Post S Schools to
Open Monday

Major John H. Healy, Post
School Officer, has requested that
The Apache Sentinel publicize
the fact that the schools Of Fort
Huachuca will begin new term
NEXT MONDAY MORNING,
SEPTEMBER 9TH. Major Healy
yesterday told the Apache SEN
tinel that his impression was that
many parents at Fort Huachuca
seemed to think that the Posts
Schools would not open until
next Tuesday, Sept. 7th, hence
his desire to have the opening
day and date-MOnday, Septem-
Der 6th-publicized.
Major Hea1y further an
nounced that Post Commander,
Colonel E. N. Hardy, who initi-
ated the highly commendable
Youth Movement in the Schools
of Fort Huachuca in September
of last year, will address the pu-
pills of the Captain Whitside
School at 8 am. next Monday,
September 9Th, and the pupils of
the Colonel Young School on
next Wednesday, September 9Th,

Copt. Walter l. Lows. Job
Is One of Posts Toughest

Can I get place. for my wife
to Stay?" Can I get house for
my family on the post?" When Capt,
Walter L. Laws, Post Housing Off
Ger is asked these questions, the an
swer is usually no. And "having to
say no" is one of the hardest things
about the very tough job which
Capt. Laws so capably performs,
As he explains, since Fort Huachuca
is so far from any sizeable city,
the problem of housing falls right
in the lap of the government, in
stead of civilian housing agencies,
as would normally be the case. Then
on a large post, teh volume of re-
quests for housing is naturally great,
which combine to make the job of
Housing Officer one of the most
complicated and difficult on the
whole post.
Under Capt. Laws direct super
vision are $50 houses, occupied by
military and civilin personnel, sew
en- dormitories all of which are civil
IAN occupied, three civilian messes,
and two trailer camps, one for mill
tary personnel and one for civilians.
The problem of assigning houses and
quarters is in itself big one, and
is operated strictly on the principle
of First come, first served" The
applications for quarters are filed
according to their date and, as va
cancies occur, the file is consulted
for the next eligible person, who is
tlen notified of the quarters being
available, and is free to look them
over.
Another sizable portion of this job
is the operation of civilian messeS,
which serve about 525 meals a day
to IT'S civilian employees. Field ra-
tions are issued for these messes at
a nominal cost to the civilian.
Before coming to Fort Huachuca
last August, Capt. Laws served ten
years military service. three Of which
were spent in a tour of duty on
Corregidor and the Philippine Is

The Apache Sentinel:
May L have the pleasure of con-
graduating you on the article you
wrote on the SOU Division game
which appeared in the August 9th
issue of the Apache Sentinel?
Thanks. CONGRATULATIONS!
Since reading your article my
morale is "tops" I might say, for I
was one of the many SOU fans who
left the game disconnected as well
as furious. Your description of the
game, in my opinion, is superb (be-
ing a former newspaper woman my
self. I was pleased over your bring
ing out the point where that "Buf-
falo pitcher" threw the man out at
second after winding up. :. which
was the one time that I wished I
were the umpire.
Keep up your liberal writing "Play
Ball" can appreciate broad
minded writer, and can assure you
that both the Division fans and the
SOU fans can't help but feel that
your article was fair and right to
the point.
THERE IS NOTHING THAT
COULD MAKE ME FEEL BETTER
THAN I FELT AFTER READING
YOUR ARTICLE BUT TO SEE
ANOTHER GAME PLAYED BE-
TWEEN THE SOU AND THE d.
VISION.

AWeek of TheWar

In Is months of Lefid-bease aid
to Russia the u. S. has shipped
about $500 planes, 5000 tanks and
$1,000 military motor vehicles for
Russian use against the Axis. The
United Kingdom, also on Lend
Lease basis, has supplied Russia
with more than $500 tanks and
more than 1000 planes.
Reporting on United Nations aid
to the Soviet Union. Lend-Lease
Administrator Stettinius said we
have shipped more planes and tanks
to the U. S. S. R. than to any other
country since the beginning of the
Lend-Lease program, and. since suf-
ficient supplies or food and are
necessary to Soviet army success as
IRE planes and tanks, we are now
sending more food to Russia than to
the United Kingdom. Although the
Lend-Lease program began in March
of l94l, aid to Russia did not be-
gin until October 1941. AFTER slow
start, shipments began to increase
and are still increasing, in spite OF
shipping shortages and enemy at
lacks along the supply routes.
