GOLF CHAMPION
JOINS 'SPARS'
Betty Hicks Reports for
Induction in New York
City Today i

New York. N. Y. Nov. 10 - I've
traded my golf bag for a sea bag for
the duration, said Betty Hicks,
Seaman first class of the SPARS,
better known as the National Wo-
mans Golf Champion who arrived
in New York today. She has been
assigned to Coast Guard Public Re-
lations ONCE for duty in connection
with the SPARS' first anniversary
celebration on November 23rd.
The twenty year old champ, add
ed that she didn't have to worry
about her title for the duration.
THE U. S. Golf Association has
cancelled tournaments until after
the war, and that's one match we're
going to win"
SPAR Betty Joined the Coast
Guard Women,s Reserve in July
l943 and took her basic training at
the Coast Guard Training Station
at Palm Beach, the former Falm
Beach Biltmore hotel. The training
station overlooks the same country
club where Betty won the Florida
title. But she had no time for golf
at Palm Beach in tie Coast Guard.
The holder of 33 course records,
the young SPAR. who halls from
Long Beach, California, turned pro-
fessional after winning the National
title at Brookline, Mass, in 194l.
But no more golf until the war is
over" she said. Bettys father is
principal of Long Beach, Calf,
High school. She has a sister, 10, at
Pomona College. And I'll recruit
her into the SPARS next year."

CHESTNUT COAL
TO Be RESERVED.
Critical Shortage Reported
in Various Sections OF
Connecticut

Because of a critical shortage of
chestnut size coal. State Fuel Ad-
ministrator Seth W. barley today
sent memorandum to all coal
dealers in Connecticut requesting
them to reserve this type Of coal for
use in kitchen ranges, space heat
ers and poultry broooer stoves.
This action was recommended re-
Gently at meeting of the sub
committee on anthracite coal for the
Connecticut War Council and local
committee representatives of the Of
flee of Defense Transportation.
Mr.. barley said that it Is ex-
tremely difficult to use anything but
chestnut size coal III kitchen ranges
and space heaters, whereas other
sizes can be burned in furnaces with
little difficulty. Poultry growers
use a mixture of pea and chestnut
coal in brooder stoves. The re-
quest for reservation OF chestnut
size coal for the three specific uses
Is of temporary nature until the
shipments of this type of coal into
the state are increased, he said.

Former Waterburi0n In

Seabees' Storekeeper, Cleo BOuchard, Makes
Page One of "Sealines" = Advises Boys on

halls from Waterbury, Connecticut
where he is in business. Propane
gas agent. Married, he has a son
who at present is serving in the
Navy aboard ship somewhere In the
Pacific. Mcmahon Is from San
Francisco, California. Single, he
lives with his mother. As a civilian
he operaaed q cigar store in Frisco.
Not only Is he connoisseur of tob-
acco, but also a salesman.
Just ask any Of the boys who pa
tronize the Ships Store.
Because of the difficulty In OBJ
tanning supplies, purchasing is re-
stricted by the issuance of ration
cards to all enlisted men. These
cards permit the men to buy their
respective requiem ents each week,
and the rationing system insures
adequate supplies for the future.
For legal tender, local bank notes
are not accepted. American green
backs, both gold and blue seal are
acceptable.
The storekeepers have endeav-
ored to establish and emulate the
same type of store one would find
in the States. Shelves stocked with
familiar American trade names and
brands coupled with an atmosphere
of homeyness have done more than
their share in creating a spirit of
good will and fellowship.
Beer, American brewed, when it
is available is also sold to the men
on q ration basis. The allotment
heretofore has been one can per
man per day.
Bouchard not only serves in the
capacity of storekeeper, but also as
a Beatrice Fairfax protege. Many
of the boys have struck up local ac-
quaintances with French families
and in some cases romances have
resulted. When these romantic

a wide selection of clothing, some
of which is kept on hand at all
times. These include white hats,
dungarees, blue chambray shirts and
underwear. Also one may order
dress items such as blue jumpers,
