President of NEA Service :
LONDON, June - 1t was the
little people CT Britain Who took
the worst beatin,, and faced death
and destruction during the great
blitzes - and it's the little man of
Britain who now is standing forth
as one of the vital factors in inva-
sion plans.
There are now nearly 1000, 900 of
him, thoroughly trained, armed,
equipped and proud of being mem
bers of the Home Guard.
The little men first responded at
the time Of Du,ki1k, answering thu
initial call armed with shotguns,
pitchforks, clubs or anything that
would serve as a weapon. Then
prior to 1912, when service in the
Guard bee ime compulsory for all
men between 10 and so who were
not otherwise serving, it was the
Home Guards who were playfully
accused of seeking membership as
an excuse to get away from home
and were twitted that noticeable
drilling always ended just as the
pubs opened.
Ready To Resist
It was the existence Of the Home
Guard, however, that made it pos
sible for the Army to get reinf orce-
ments to the Middle east in time
to drive out Rommel and they've
already been called upon to be
ready to resist counter-invasion
if it should be attempted in con-
nection with opening of the west
ern front. The Home Guard vii! Be

villages, act as observers and man

War Bonds. Inasmuch as the Fourth War Loan Drive is now on, Mac has arranged with the Treas ury Department for special sale of these bonds as a feature of the opening week. And so, while they last, you can come in and get 25 dollar bond for only $18.75.
 Bouquets to the cast of the "Bat- tie of Bradley" It was a great show, and it really warranted the mad scramble for our handful of tickets for the opening perfor- nance.
 It looks as though we now have plenty of room to get lift to Elm Plains (if we could find any reason for going there). M/Sgt. Whitbeck has traded in his coupe for a big fve-passenger job. He was telling us that it took a good bit of dicker- ing, but he finally got it at a low price. He now knows how hard it is to drive a good bargain. Whit was seen trying to park his new car next to the Bank the other day. There was only about fifteen feet between the other cars so the oP razor blade man parked in another spot. Guess he thought he'd scrape his lenders.

There is no question about it. time certainly flies. Here we are in the second month of 1914 already. It seems like almost yesterday that we were anxiously waiting for the first issue of the BEAM, but at this writing our file of BEAM copies is quite large.
 Life in the Finance Section keeps pace with the fast-moving times. The bowling team came back into it's stride last week to take three games from the Ordnance B team. Top kegler for the evening was Sgt. Gayeski, whose $40 has helped him materially in cutting down the leads of Cpl. Buffum and Pfc. Mi chaelson in individual average scores.
 Last week also saw the appear ance of a new Finance Officer on the post-Lt. Mackie. We hope the Lieutenant will enjoy his tour of duty with Bradley's> Fighting Fi- nance.
 Another one has been added to the unsolved mysteries department. Sgt. Lucas has been trying to find out who ate her grapefruit, stuffed the skins with paper, and stapled the parts together again.
 With the current cold spell, few difficulties in heating have been en- countered. Sgt. Gayeski has been able to do a great deal to alleviate the rigors of the extreme cold. But for the final touch we now rely on Martin Larson and his old thermo- stat treatment.
 The office seems quiet without the hearty laugh of Smiling Jack Bat ten. Tn a way, you might say that Jack has deserted the ranks of the Army for those of the Navy, but it Is only temporary. To his closest

records, the cast and Special Serv- ice Office deserve a lot of credit for this strictly original G.I. show. The theory that Bradley Field lacked talent is now stumped. This show and other activities come as re- freshing as a rain to the former aridity of extra-curricular affairs.
 By the way, in it's inaugural ap- pearance at Windsor LOCKS USO. the show was responsible for the bringing out of one Sgt. Richard Marsh who for one long year had not been inside a USO. That fact, along with the show and handsome printed program, deserve mem- ory. (Mr. Donlan, please note.)

ORDNANCE
 BLOCK BUSIER
By Pfc. Erwin Koerber

Whatever it was that was respon- sible, the Ordnance A bowling team wouldn't dislike a continuation of their bowling success of Wednes- day, a week ago. The causes for the sweep of the series may have been many but it was evident that those new gold leaves Major Poudre was wearing, and his cigars, were a contributing factor. The team now feels good enough to challenge the vaunted WAC aggregation of bowl CTS. With such a match in pros pect there should be no trouble in getting pin-up voluneers, since the civilian pin boys have been going AWOL lately.
 Please don't get the impression that the Ordnance Department is over-stocked with Warrant Officers for the next two weeks. Their pres ence is due to the opening up of a Property Officer School for Warrant Officers of the First Air Force. The school is being conducted by able and hard-working Capt. Kronen- berg. The Ordnance personnel is justly proud that their particular set-up of supply has been chosen as model worthy of study and adoption by others. The system which already has warranted atten- tion is being improved still fur ther.
