Post Ordnance News
By SGT. PHILLIP L. HUNT

During the absence of our ace
reporter, Cpl. Walter L. DeBose, who
is away for a few days, this lesser
reporter will bring the news of Post
Ordnance until his return.
Highlights of the weeks events
were the return of seven Ordnance
men who were transferred to the
734 MP. Rn. the latter part of May:
Cpls. Clarence M Fuller, Norfolk,

York City, NY; Raymond j.
Knight, New York City, NY; Pvts.
James R. Gordy, Philadelphia, Pa;
Thomas Martin Lorodo, West Va;
and Johnnie Winston, Corpus Chris

toned above were members of a
special Cadre Company at the Ord
nance School, Aberdeen Proving
Grounds, Md.
Pvt. Baylor W. Cooper who gets
around these days certainly enjoys
going on these educational tours,
representing the Company each
time and looking forward to being
on that bus when it goes again

M-Sgt. Homer B. Cross
Is Ace Ordnance Worker

One of the key men in the Post
Ordnance Department is M/Sgt.
Homer B. Gross, who is one of the
most publicity shy members OF the
department in addition to being one
of the most efficient according to
those who work with him.
Upon his enlistement in the Army
25 years ago from his native city,
Chicago, Sgt. Gross "soldiered" with
tfe 25th Infantry for II years at
Camp Stephen B. Little, Nogales.
From the Infantry he was trans
ferred to the Ordnance department
and to Fort Huachuca where he has
remained since. In the Post Ord
nance Department Sgt. Cross is
chief clerk and performs all admin
istrative paper work.
During World War I, Sgt. Cross
was attached to the 366th Infantry
and the 25th Depot Brigade at
Camp Dodge, Iowa.

The drive is just about over, but
I'll bet Cpl. Elliott can still hum
the tune of I'm dreaming of a ten

BY SGT JAMES E. YOUNG

The purpose and job of the Ord
nance Department is to be in charge
OF the design, procurement, distri-
button and maintenance of all Ord
nance material Improvision of
parts and tools is a main factor in
field maintenance.
The training of Ordnance Units
included sufficient military subjects
to insure a successful defense
against attack. This phase of train
ing is the first to be accomplished.
Soldiers First is we'll known slo-
gan in this department. Ordnance
soldiers, therefore, carry a double
burden in being first. good soldiers.
and, second, expert technicianS.
The 10th Ordnance Battalion en-
braces both the Saith Ordnance
Auto Maintenance Co. and the 4O6th
Ordnance Medical Maintenance Co.
The Saith Ordnance Company is
well organized, and is under the
leadership of Capt. Eugene H. Nc
Cam. Its Small Arms Section has
brilliantly carried out the idea of
field maintenance improvision in
that they have built Work Shop
on wheels, in lieu of a regular small
arms truck.
The mechanics in the auto re-
pair shops daily inspect and repair
vehicles of the 92nd Division and
those of the Third Army.
The Division jobs come through
the 792nd Ordnance In Co. The
Third Army jobs come direct. No
job is too small or too large. In
the event vehicle is towed in al
most demolished it is evacuated to
Post Ordnance for fourth echelon
repair. Recently the mechanics were
quite pleased to have the opportun-
ity to inspect and repair an M3 light
tank
The Supply Section under the
leadership of Capt. Martin A. Le-
vine, has the cooperative spirit that
is so much needed in keeping the
Division as we'll as the first and
second repair shops operating eff
ciently. Every Clerk in this section
is versatile. Approximately 1000 au-
tomotive parts no ware in the sec
ton compartments and bins.

Enlisted in Macon, Ga.

Following his enlistement August
10, 1913, at the Cherry Street Re-
crulting Office, in his hometown,
Macon, Ga, he was sent to Colun,-

training. On September 10 of the
same year he went to Fort Ethan

From September 10, 1913. to
March 81, 1919, Capt. Conner served
out his first enlistment, which. oddlv
enough, was for seven years. Dur
ing this period he performed duties
OF assistant supply sergeant and act
ing first sergeant and general clerk.
Most of his work was with the ord
nance department.
In 1925, he attended and gradu-
ated from the Ordnance School for

years later when he was re-assigned

Proving Grounds, Illinois. -Imme-
diately prior to being commissioned
captain, his chief duty was the furn-
ishing of ammunition supplies to
troops of the Ninth Army Corps.
Veteran ordnance workers around
Fort Huachuca say that when it
comes to knowing ordnance work
there's no one on the Post who
knows it any better than Capt. Com
er." His recently observed 30-years-
in-service marked a milestone in the
colorful military history of the 49,
year-old career soldier Che was born
November 6, 1894)-a milestone that
may have others placed beside it.
For, although his 80 years-in-service
make him eligible for retirement
and a life of less stress and fewer
responsibilities, Capt. Conner doesn't
intend to get out of the Army.
There's still war going on,' he
says.

Dunkerque, at Dieppe, in Libya,
Tunisia, Sicily. Some were on
stretchers; some walked; some
hobbled. Medical orderlies car
ried their pathetically meager be-
longings in wooden boxes and
cardboard cartons which bore the
mark of the Red Cross. One OF
them triumphantly swung Ger
man officers cap he had swiped
somewhere.
At 1870 a small group Of Yanks
who could walk came ashore to-
gether. You've already read their
names and the uncensored parts
of their adventures so there's no
need for me to comment on them
beyond the fact that they looked
surprisingly well-much better
than the average Briton, most of
whom had been imprisoned a
great deal longer.
I watched the next disembarka-
ton group. In the middle stood a
tall British officer, wearing the
two pips of a lieutenant. He was
handsome, clean shaven and had
the thin, aqueline nose of the
English aristocrat. Around him,
like shipwrecked seamen, were
some 80 blinded men. One of
them, a 72-year-old sea captain
blinded by shell fragments in a
terrible losing fight against a Ger
man raider, chung to him physi-
cally-clung to him so hard you
could see the old mans knuckles
were white.
The tall young man was the
fourth Marques of Normandy

kerque. After his capture at Dun
kergue he had been taken to a
German prison camp where there
were quite few blind men. So
instead Of settling down to the
living death Of prison-camp rou-

meant, communicated with St.
Dunstan's, which is a British
home and society for the rehabili-
tation of war blinded. The Mar
guess taught himself Braille so
he could teach it to his less for
tunate countrymen. Teach them
he did, making his own manu-
scripts by punching holes in paper
with matchsticks.

bears could have seen him they'd

POULTRY SHOWS
TO BE REVIVED
Huge Exposition to Be
Held at Madison Square
Garden, December 80

Following a series Of meetings Of
leading members of the poultry
world during the past couple OF
weeks, announcement was made yes
terday that a huge poultry show will
be held in Madison Square Garden,
New York, December 80 to January
2, inclusive. The idea of reviving
poultry expositions on a grand scale
is inspired by the war trend. Poultry
breeders are giving much attention
to the matter of restocking devastat-
ed Europe after the war. Thousands
of amateurs recently have been re-
cruited to the chicken and water
fowl raisers ranks, as war measure
rather than merely a hobby. This
already has proved a valuable aid to
the food situation in numerous To-
calities.
Officially the event will be known
as the Madison Square Garden
Poultry Show, a name which will
recall to mind the great exhibitions
held in the old Madison Square
Garden many years ago. Outstand-
ing specimens of feathered stock
chickens, turkeys, guinea fowl, pig
cons, ducks, geese and others--are
being entered in competition for the
four days of the show.
There will be displays Of all sorts
Of equipment related to poultry
producing and information will be
available to those who are raising
Victory chicks for the first time and
for experts as well.
Officers of the Madison Square
Garden Poultry Show are: Fred
Huyler, Gladstone, N. j., president;
A. j. Giles, Newtown, Conn, first
vice president; ]. J. Bower, Roanoke,
Va, second vice president, and E.
Himmelberger, Westfield, N. j., Sec
rotary and treasurer.

least 100 Tbs of potatoes for every
one in the family.
Local appeals are being directed
through the Waterbury Nutrition

days to come volunteers will be at
the Victory House on the Green
from IL noon to 2 p. m. and from
to z p. m. to give advice and an
swer any questions pertaining to the
purchasing and storing Of these po-
tatoes.
The motto behind such a program
IS produce, conserve, share and
play square" and the move Is part
