The team was from another outfit here at Bradley Field, and reputed to be a pretty tough team. It was a swell game to watch, and the Red ana White looked better than they have at any time this season. -.. A group of Camoufeurs returned from Detached Service early this week. I think that we were more glad to see them than they were to see us. 1 collected a few "beetles" that had been outstanding for a long time. Although they won't ad- init it, I think they like the chow here better than that at the field they were stationed at, for ever since they got back they are the first ones in the chow line at every meal.

Dear Nom:
 Gee, I really would have liked to have been home Thanksgiving, but we had a swell time here. It was really some feed. We had every thing from soup to nuts. The tur- key and dressing was swell, and the pumpkin pie would melt in your mouth. One of my buddies said that he acually saw halos round the heads of our cooks. This I doubt very much, Mom, cause our cooks aren't exactly that angelic, even on Thanksgiving.
 After the meal was over, and after the meal had settled enough so that we could move, "Red" Guthrie sat down to the piano and we all sang songs until we were hungry enough to go back to the food later in the day.
 You would have enjoyed watch ing Guthrie play the piano, Mom. He is really tout of his world" :" About anything that was requested, he could play. Sgt. Reid and It. Chambers determinedly carried most of the harmony, during the afternoon.
 No Nom, I have not been pro- noted, yet, but 1 have been given some important and responsible po- sitions. Had barracks orderly twice last week. This is a very impor- tant job, and my work can't be lg- nored. It. Mark Sponenburgh was promoted to First Lieutenant last week. He is Platoon Commander of the Camoufage Specialists and a pretty swell officer. I am not at all jealous about his promotion.
 One of my buddies became a father this week. Norbert Vertel is very happy fellow indeed. And speaking of blessed events, how would you and the family like to have one or two nice puppies? We are going to have a big batch of them around here soon. They will be German Shepherd and well I guess that they will be mostly German Shepherd.
 Yes Nom, I have been going to Church Sunday. Most of my friends go, too. A large group of Catholic soldiers from my outfit attended Mass in Hartford on Thanksgiving Day. They marched to the Cathe- dral in a group, and I understand that it was very impressive sight l Our basketball team is clicking

One of the most enjoyable social events ever attended by members of the Airborne Engineers was the party and dance held this past Sat- urday afternoon in Windsor, Conn. MT. and Mrs. James F. McAvoy en- tertained with a cocktail party at their home on Hillcrest Road and later in the evening a dance, spon- sored by the Catholic Women's Club of St. Gabriels Church was held, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Theodore Rosenberg. Young ladies attending these: socials, es- corted by the service men were: Miss Barbara Benson, Miss Betty Drieu, Miss Mary Morgan, Miss Helen Dillon, Miss Florence Nor ris, Miss Dorothy Ross, Miss Jac- line Thompson, Miss Hanna Seut- l hold, and Miss Betty McAVoy, Chaperons were: MT. and Mrs, George Adams, MT. and Mrs. Jos eph Fitzgerald, and MT. and Mrs. George RoWen.
 Officer personnel assigned to the Battalion during the past week are: 2nd It. Jack J. Tobin and 2nd It, William H. Beauchamp.

 If you want to see a great piece of construction work taking place, we would suggest you pass by the Ordnance area and watch C.P.O. (Chief Petty Oficer) Sgt. Bernard H. Bauhof and his c. B's in action.
 All the cooks in "B" Company volunteered to take that extra three weeks of basic. We wonder why?
 Mystery: Is it true what they say about 1st Sgt. William H. Moore and his big deal in Sims bury?
 Congratulations: To T/5 Warren H. Nichols. We understand that the nuptials will take place three weeks from today.
 While on the subject, when will Sgt. Robert H. Siewert get enough nerve to ask that certain party in Potters Hill, R. l.?
 Tha famous Friday night bridge club that usually takes place in Headquarters Go. barracks, failed to materialize last week. Wonder what happened to S/Sgt. Augustus Robrecht, Cpl. Carl D. Schlacter, and Cpl. Robert B. Jackson. Couldn't you find fourth, or did the cheese and crackers run out?

The center panel of the wings is rectangular and the outer sections taper to square-cut tips. The leading edge of the tail plane tapers to rounded tips. It has a single fin and rudder.

SUB-DEP0T

I'm beginning to think that the Supply Department is the right place to work. A second trip by plane was taken to Rome by Sup ply personnel last week and you'd be surprised at. the fun they had; during business hours too. What I'd like to know is the reason for Helen Franzoni and Jean Chiaramonte holding up the plane 30 minutes.
 Cigars were again passed out at the Sub Depot when It. LaMear, Signal Supply Officer, received his silver bar. Let's hope the recent snowstorm has delayed the stork or you'll find cigar passing an expen- sive proposition, Lieutenant.

Oh, Geei To my embarrass- ment, she kissed him, and in broad daylight, too. But there's no need for excitement as it was just T/Sgt. J. J. O'Pecko who was home on an unexpected furlough.
 
 Pvt. Frank Callahan of the U. s. Army, former employee of Sub- Depot Supply, left Friday for Camp Hale, Colorado, after spending furlough at his home in Warehouse Point, Conn. He renewed many old friendships while home.

 BLOCK BUSTER

 set, but in my private opinion a mule may be thick but he's never a goat. Anyhow, why attempt to give answers: to upsets. I'll let Notre Dame do that. ::-
 The basketball team has proved " that it's first victory over Photo was no fuke when they took the measure of the Reds last Friday night, 39-24. The boys are short according to basketball height standards, but so far seem to have that extra reach or something. Keep it up, Plying Pentagon."
 One of the stalwarts of the team, T/3 Katz, failed to score in his first game but against the Reds he rang up nine points. His scoring spree seemed to start about the time a feminine bundle in slacks ap- peared in the Ordnance cheering section. Maybe the army can do something about getting feminine cheer leaders in battle. All is fair in love and war hey say but I'm convinced that the fair have a lot to do with the winning.
 *
 Not everyone always gets the privilege of being awakened by a Master Sergeant. However, since the ruling has become effective that all military personnel living off the Base must stand reveille at O63O, M/Sgt. Evans has become very obliging. With the shortage of clocks, we hope his alarm doesn't get out of order. It is a long trek i'll the early hours from Windsor Locks. If I didn't know Sgt. Evans better, I'd accuse him of being the guy who awakens the bugler.
 Not wishing to start an argu- ment, especially with one of the fairer sex, I'd be willing to stake a bet that our new Wac, Sgt. So- bieski, is from New Jersey. Curl- ous folks can gather further in- formation by asking her to pro nounce the pronoun, "those.'
 When I was at Langley Field, Va. the soldiers there used to dls- cuss the ideal Utopia after the war. Down in Va. they talked loud and long of setup in Florida; cabin close to a swell fishing spot with ncthing to do but fish. Up here at Bradley the conversation is similar except they want a cabin in Alaska lear a fishing ground. The only difference in the two set-ups IS that down South they want someone to bait the hook (Pity the poor fish after it's over.)
 By the way, has anyone any sug- gestions on how to open window in a barracks on a cold night? The only way that doesn't seem to bring on a shower of yells is to be the last one in during the wee hours Then again, is it worth it?
 The four-ton BiockbHster seems lonely here of late. No parades and no missions scheduled. It is pos sible the Blockbuster may even try for three-day pass. l hear some farmer in Southern Maryland would like to buy it and place 1t in his field so it would induce the water melons to grow bigger. (Some wa termelon with explosive seeds would be good food for the Axis.)
 The civilian personnel appreclat- ed the Thanksgiving treat rendered them by the Ordnance Detachment.
 Capt. Poudre claims to be order ing some bullseye ammunition. Some of the carbine shooters need it. However, one promising card last week had almost perfect "V" blasted in the center. Another hopeful sign of victory.

comfort and convenience Of the
passenger, described frankly as a
radical departure" by one execu-
tive.
THE railways have been too
prone to subject the passengers In
terest to the whims Of mechanical
and operating offices and to the re-
quirements Of mail and express
schedules" he commented.
5. Simplification Of rate struc-
lures by establishing q common
base rate for the whole country,
and simplifiaction Of accounting
methods.
s. Restrictive union rules which
will nullify, as airlines grow larger,
much of their pre-war personalized
service sales appeal.
$50 long as there were only about
$50 passenger-carrying planes in
the country, carrying about 20 pas
sengers each, the personalized Serv-
ice created a tremendous sales APP
peal. When the airways go after
mass passenger traffic, they will
find this type Of selling imposst-
ble," said another executive.
7. Restoration of passenger serv-
ice at many points.
I'VE have denuded our railway Of
passenger service at many points
and we are thoroughly ashamed of
having done So" one official said.
"a railway is judged Gin my opin-
ion wrongly by the type of pas
senger service which it renders"
8. Greater comfort and better
service on all carriers from local
all-coach trains to the extra fare
trains.
9. Speeding up of passenger
schedules by such means as con-
tinuing to take out curves, reduc-
ing stops, and improving "head-end
operations" (mail and express load
ing and unloading).
Railroad executives are not alarm
ed as to the threat Of postwar air
competition as far as passenger
traffic goes. Where they do see the
airplane making inroads Is In the
first-class mail traffic. While they
concede this will be inevitable after
the war, they are determined to
hold postwar passenger traffic.

ton will be In full production by
1850, at which time he hopes to be
getting at least 5000 tons of rubber
a year.
Belterra Is interesting because,
partly by accident and partly by de-
sign, it is located almost on the site
where Sir Henry Wickham, in 1875,
gathered a few rubber seeds near
the little village of Bonn, on the
TapajoZ river, and sent them to
Ceylon, where they were developed
into the rubber monopoly which
drove the Amazon out of business.
COLONY FOUNDED
It Is interesting also because it is
just up the Tapajoz-two hours by
river boat or few minutes by plane
from the Amazon river city of San
tarem where unreconstructible
southerners founded a little colony
after the war between the states.
Two or three of its members are
still living.
Belterra Is important because, at
whatever the cost in dollars may
have been, Ford workers appear to
have conquered the fungus diseases
and insects which up to now have
prevented Brazil from even trying
to compete with the Far East on a
plantation basis.
Growing wild, scattered all over
vast reaches of jungle, each tree rel
atively distant from any other, rub
Der trees get along pretty we'll in
Brazil. But, as tried to make clear
in an earlier article, getting rub
Der from such trees is hopelessly
expensive.
Whenever anybody tried to start
a plantation, and the trees were
brought close together, fungus mold
destroyed them.
FIRST SITE ILL-CHOSEN
Ford's experiments started at
Fordlandia. There is a number of
versions as to why they failed, but
all pointed up the fact that the site
was poorly chosen.
There is violent disagreement,
even among experts, whether this
site, beautiful as it is and accessible
to ocean-going steamships, only four
hours by air from the seaport of
Belen1, is a good one. I am i'm
pressed by arguments of those who
believe that the Benz region of Bra
I'll. or the lowlands of Bolivia,
though much less accessible, would
have been better.
But In any event, through long ex-
Fermentation it appears that at
Belterra the Ford scientists have
beaten the South American leaf dis
eases, and now have Il strain that
can maintain It's health under plan
tation conditions and at the same
time give a high yield of latex.
MODERNIZED JUNGLE
To accomplish this merely pre-
liminafy result. 1900 acres OF hard.
bitten jungle had to be cleared.
There are 1900 workers, all but eight
OF them Brazilians, and 500 others
at FOrdlandia. These have been
xcvided with living conditions IN.
