 good postwar reo omendat on has been made in the U. s. Depart ment of keri culture. It provides "for the transfer to local govern nents, without cost, of surplus medical equi pment and medical sup- plies, whi ch will be disposed of by the Army and Navy at the end Of the war;" These supplies world be used in equippins hospitals In rural communities. They are needed there mo"a seri ously than anywhere else. Ruea America does not now enjoy pari tv in hee 1th facilities. The hospitals thet have been estab lish- cd in rural areas have been of wide spread usefulness. There Is urgent need for more of them. No better use could be found for these lu medical facilities left over after the war. When a nat ona1 program for their disposal Is finally ar- rang ed, agri culture should be repre- SC ed end given priority. Local co anittes could well begin lock- in into the matter now, one of their afterwar deve lopnents. Their inf luence would help to influence the disposal the right way.

S/Sgt. George (NMD Watson, Mess Sergeant of Section "C", is pictured above as he sniffs, with apparent satisfaction, the aroma of soup that is about to be serv- ed to his customers. Sergeant Watson is justly proud of his Mess and it's fine reputation has been eagerly spread by the men who eat there.
 Sergeant Watson has been cook ing for many years since he orig inally arrived on this earth at a place called Norfolk, Virginia. He attended primary school at this Southern town and also Norfolk High School where he held down the second base spot on his schools baseball team. He also earned him. self quite a reputation as a swimmer and diver and present reports have it that you can see him still "doing his stuff" in the aquatic line at his Sections weekly swim party.
 It was during the year that Lind berg made his famous Atlantic trip that Sergeant Watson started making cooking his full time oc- cupation. After working in the kit chen of a ship that piled between Baltimore and Norfolk he was em> ployed at chef on the Norfolk and Western Railroad. Many trip has he made between his home town and Columbus, Ohio, preparing the dishes that make Southern dining car meals famous. Travelling, how ever, soon got on the Sergeant's

Soviet Expert Praises US. Tank Tactics

Russia (CNS)-The accomplish ments of American tank forces in France have won the admiration and praise of Col. P. Kolomeitzeff, armored warfare expert of the Red Army newspaper Red Star.
 Reviewing the Allied offensive in France, Col. Kolomeitzeff said the maneuvers by forces under It. Gen. Omar Bradley were master full" and that the American tac- tics were superior to those used by the Germans.

It was while em- ployed at the college that Sergeant Watson was called to service on 21 July 1922 and sent to Fort Meade, Maryland, for his "recep- tion." A few weeks later he arrived at Bradley Field and was assigned to the 36th Aviation Squadron Mess Hall where he not only provided pastries (his speciality that had the men begging for seconds but also passed through the usual non com grades, arriving at his present one in July 1943.
 Sergeant Watson is unmarried and has very emphatic ideas about remaining. in that status until af- ter the duration plus. However, ac- cording to his friends he is any thing but stay at home and many a Hartford street has known the tread of his passing feet. Besides his interest in water sports he likes jitterbugging and definitely approves of the merits of his Sec tion's new orchestra which, he claims, is "hep." He is also famous for the many telephone calls he re- ceives while visiting the Canteen in Hartford but his only answer to all inquiries is: "It's my sister" The Sergeant comes from a large family.

family arguments, provide cribs, baby carriages, etc., meet wives at stations and more than once care for wife who has arrived "broke" and found her husband gone. In these cases she calls upon the Red Cross which lends the financial as- sistance needed. "Once," tells Mrs. Bruyn, "Dad," that's my husband, spent practically a whole night playing rummy with an anxious Warrant Officer whose wife was at local hospital awaiting a visit from the stork. The baby arrived all right and a few weeks later my husband and myself were Godpar- ents at the child's christening. The baby's father is in New Guinea now; but we hear from his wife often and have plenty of pictures of our Godchild." She has also done such odd jobs as locating re- latives of boys whose folks told them they had an Aunt Jenny or Cousin Joe living in Connecticut; and she has been successful, too.
 "All in all," reports Mrs. Bruyn, tits been wonderful job and l wouldn't have missed it for the world. Its gotten now so that when I walk down the street and see strange face I just know they're looking for me and I'm usually right. The people of Windsor have been wonderful about cooperating with the soldiers and in many cas- es they have cut their rental price to ribbons so that soldier in not too good circumstances might have a few weeks with his wife before leaving for overseas. When we first heard an Air Base was to open near our very quiet town we were a little worried about what situations might develop when large group of soldiers arrived, but it's all worked out we'll and the boys have been grand"
 Recently Mrs. Bruyn was award ed citation by the State Defense Committee through the Windsor War Council for having given over 2OOO hours in the interest of de- fense; but Mrs. Bruyn says her real reward comes when, "I see the happy smile of a boy who knows that his wife and perhaps child will have a comfortable home to live in during what might be their last days together for a long time. The way I look at it, would appreciate someone helping my boy if I had one, and the least we all can do is give the boys hand while they're away from home. It's been a lot of work with odd hours and often a few worries thrown in but the appreciation of the sol diers has been more than a just reward for any of my efforts and the efforts of the folks who live near the Base."

Bradley beam., 1944-09-02

It all began a few moments af- ter the first plane landed at Brad ley on 15 August 1941. Ut. Terry M. Turner had just stepped from his plane when he remarked that 1t looked as if the Windsor Locks Air Base was a nice field but there didn't seem to be any hous- ing facilities for the married men. A civilian worker at the Base overheard the Lieutenant and re- ported the comment to group of Windsor women who immediately decided to do something about the situation. A committee of three was appointed to aid men of the Base in finding homes and their first act was to insert an adver- tisement in a Hartford newspaper asking those in nearby communit- ies to let them know if they could accommodate soldiers. Within a few hours over thirty families had an- swered the advertisement and the project was we'll on it's way. A few months later two of the group were forced to drop their efforts, but Mrs. Bruyn continued alone and since that time has done won ders. As a matter of fact, she has never failed to obtain living quar- ters for the hundreds who have consulted her.
 According to Mrs. Bruyn her vol untary job has been a wonderful ex- perience and she'll more than miss her work when the boys leave for their own homes. Although she has no sons, many boys have crossed her threshold and many a heavy-hearted G. l. has poured his troubles out to the woman who was glad to listen and, if possible advise. The influx of soldiers into her home has also changed her family, says Mrs. Bruyn. Before they came she, and her husband, and two daughters, were apt to be critical of other parts of the coun- try; but having dealt with men from all the forty-eight States they now realize that all Americ- ans are pretty much alike with only the accent making difference. During one month in 1943, Mrs. Bruyn helped find homes for boys from thirty-eight States.
 "I guess word gets around pret- ty fast in a small town," Mrs. Bruyn remarked when we asked her how the soldiers managed to know about her service. "Some come to me from the USO's, some from the Red Cross, and even the police know I'm here to help the boys. Lots of the soldiers hear about me from those I have all ready placed and in one instance a soldier come to see me after get ting my address from pilot Tn Africa whom I had once helped" Her system for getting rooms is simple. "Folks know about me and let me know when they have vac ancies. When boy, or his wife, comes to me for a room l try to fit them into a place that will suit their needs, pocketbook and even personality. In all the years I've been finding rooms only six of the over 1900 couples I have dealt with have ever left owing rent and only about 30 have ever given any kind of trouble. Some of the men who come to me are farm boys, some doctors, some lawyers and they're all nice. And it's surprising how many keep in touch with us after they leave"
 Finding rooms, however, isn't Mrs. Bruyn's only job. Since be- ginning her excellent work she has been called upon to straighten out

The softball team got the spot light last week with 5-4 victory over the Medics. There was ques- tion as to which Medic pitcher could walk home the most runs, during which debate five runs were garnered-enough. Two new mem bers from the ONO, Johnson and Kugililich, have been playing a good game.

bers from the ONO, Johnson and Kugililich, have been playing good game.
 MAIL and PENDING MAIL: n. Cpl. Koldys received diction- ary on August the fifteenth that was ordered in September. Unbe- lievable, isn't it! The only hitch is that it was ordered in September 1943, matter of several boat rides consuming eleven months. Wonder if these boys from over seas are getting worried about any other material catching up with them Pfc. Parsons, known as "Doc" or Brother Parsons," has received an application from a girl in West Virginia to be his sweet heart. Parsons answer will be re- turned to GO RED, Box 4, some- where in West Virginia. Latest word, however, Parsons was seek ing the opinion of detail of sev- eral fair damsels. . To Elgie Fay Tor, we say, if you are in doubt about whom to apply to for a bl- cycle license, see It. Casazza, and if he won't tell you consult some one who was a peddeler before the war. To Sgt. Steer we say, if an Address in Wulsmaun' there is always "Hope."
 TT MAY BE TRUE-BUT:
 Marshal Stanliuslof Tito, short nickname for Vukadonovich, took three-day pass last week and stayed at the Base. When ques- toned as to such unprecedented action, he said: "I have served nineteen months in the Army with out three-day pass and although the temptation to take off was great, the pleasure of lying in bed when everyone else had to get up was wonderful" (By the way, Mar shal, we hear that there are other things of interest at Babb's besides treading waterD .S/Sgt. Savino was very interested in trying out a new pen the other day when he signed for pile of lumber that be- longed to the warehouse.
 
 OUT OF BOUNDS:
 The contest for the best design of Base Unit Insignia has stirred up a lot of comment. One prospec- tive designer asked Mrs. Turner, who is a native of Connecticut, what Connecticut was famous for, at the same time naming tobacco, insurance, etc. Not satisfied, he asked if there were any famous ln- sects in Connecticut at which Mrs. Turner replied in indignation, we are not famous for insects" At a picnic in Springfield last Sunday there arose situation requiring diplomacy. One girl announced that she had just turned her twenty first birthday and when some G.l. voiced the suggestion she be kissed 21 times by all present, one quick thinking soldier said, "Tve just turned my forty-fifth."
 
 For many months the privates
