Perhaps the most Joyous celebra-

marked its third May day O. the
war. Brilliant holiday festivities
were given added luster by the
proclamatio of Marshal Stain
that Germany was all but beaten.
Stalin's order of the day, posted in
public places, hailed the victories
of the preceding year and urged
a final, all-out joint assault upon
the citadel of Naziism-
Despite the break in German
fishing expeditions for information
on the impending invasion from

Correction

Basing its information on a re-
cent War Department Bureau of
Public Relations news release,
the Apache Sentinel enormously
published an article in its issue
of 21 July to the effect that Sta
tiOn Hospital No. 1 had been des-
ignated as a Regional Hospital.
This statement is incorrect, The
facts are as follows:
Until recently the Station Hos
pita1 at Fort Huachuca operated
under the Post Surgeon, as indi-
vidual hospitals designated as
Station Hospital No. 1 and No. 2.
Station Hospital No. 1 was under
the command of Col. NJ. o. BOus-
field, NJ. C. Under recent War
Department orders the Station
Hospital at Fort Huachuca was
re-designated as an Army Service
Force Regional Hospital
In compliance with this direc@
tive designating this Hospital as
a Regional Hospital, the hospital
was divided into Sections 1 and 2,
with Col. M. o. Bousfield as Com
manding Officer of Section No. 1
and Col. E. b. Maynard, in addi-
ton to his duties as Post Surgeon
and Commanding Officer of Re
gional Hospital, as Commanding
Officer of Section No. 2.
