Beethoven himself called these opening four notes "Fate knocks on the door, makes it's adoption as the theme of Victory even more apropos.
 The last two selections are Stravinsky's. Fire Bird Suite and Nights in a Spanish Garden, by Manuel de Falla. When the Fire Bird Suite was presented for the first time in 1910 it was instantly acclaimed by the musical world and Stravinsky found himself fam ous overnight. It abounds in vivid color, romantic melodies, and as one critic says, "easy, fruity emo- tion." Naturally the Spanish ele- ment predorninates in De Falla's works for he is by far the great est of the Spanish composers. He has not composed much in compa rison with Strauss, or Sibelius, but what he has composed bears the mark of original and fastidious genius. Nights in Spanish Gar den" is one of his most important works.

Boo!

Experiment Perilous," by Mar garet Carpenter, is another psy- chological mystery and horror sto- ry that tends to frighten the read CT out of his wits. The tale is shot with chills and ghastly premoni- tion of disaster-in surrounding of wealth, culture and charm. You'll see it soon in the movies, starring Hedy Lamar. So that you can pay less attention to the plot and more to Hedy we suggest you read the story first. Has there ever been a soldier poll on the "Girl I'd Most Like to be Scared By?" We bet the answer would be "the heroine of Experiment Perilous'."

off the light (if you dare). That's Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural" edited by H. A. Wise and P. M. Fraser. This is collection of great stories about ghoulies, ghosties and more earthly horrors-a necessity for goose flesh fanciers. A quick look at some of the titles will give you an idea of what to expect: "The Screaming Skull" "The Monkeys Paw" "The Ghost Ship" "The Rats in the Walls," etc.
 Of course you can always soothe yourself with the thought that any resemblance between the supernat- ural and the natural is purely cor incidental. Or IS it? Truth is often stranger than fiction!

 Q. Will GI's service in the armed forces of one of the United Nations count toward point credit in the War Departments Demobil- ization Plan?
 A. Such service in the armed forces of Allied nations AFTER Sept. 16, 1940, will count. How ever, no credit will be given for foreign decorations.
 Q. It was my understanding that wives and children of enlisted men were entitled to care at Army hos pitals in posts where the EM were stationed. I can't get my wife into our camp hospital. Whats the rule on this? Please give authority.
 A. Wives and children of enlist ed men are entitled to care at Army hospitals only 'when ac- cOmmodations for care are avail- able." The Post Commander is the final authority in each camp for determining if accommodations are available. (AR4O-590)
