A demonstration was held Satur-
day afternoon, March 25, for the
benefit of the visiting Chinese Air
Cadets. Acting in its capacity as
ears and eyes of the battalion there
was Reconnaissance Company out
in front as usual doing swell job
of accommodating.
Quite a number of men have been
sent to AAA school at Fort Bliss,
Texas, and we believe that the rep
reSentatives from Reconnaissance
Company will definitely make good,
and be an esset to the company
when they return. They will be gone
only week, so all female readers
who are interested in personnel
that is gone have our permission to
take a break
We find ourselves in new loca-
ton very close to the Post Ex-
change. Number Is PIX will get
just plenty of trade now because all
we have to do is run across the
street, purchase our goods and re-
turn to the barracks.
We wonder why Pvt. Carl Robin
son has been so respondent for the
past week. Can it be on account of
his short-lived romance? We think
deeply on why our first sergeant,
E. GCodlow, has been acting some
what queer lately. Is it a certain
Pfc in the WAC?
1 have heard that we have a
certain staff sergeant in our COM
pany who is planning to tread to-
ward the altar soon and say Il do"
We wish for him many happy years
of married life when he takes the

The first, second and third pla-
toons are really on the ball these
days with their new Tank Destroy
ers. They seem to enjoy them SO
well:
Here are what few key men
are saying about them: Pvt. Cant,
expert rifleman, says, "The new de-
stroyer reminds me of my new super
AZ Buick, and must say it has
perfect balance"
Pvt Radford says, "It beats all
I've ever heard something so
big, but so fast and powerful, and
yet handled like baby"
Cpl. Hill (First platoon leading
gunner), says, "Let me see the tar
get and I'll do the rest, no matter
if it is going as fast as a stream
lined train"
First Sergeant Shearer, B Co., top
kick of the mighty eight two seven,
seems to be a very happy man these
days. Who can tell? Maybe honey
is coming down. Sgt. T. B.
Smith is doing fine job in the
supply room; is doing still bigger
job in WACville.
Pvts. j. M. Rogers, w. T. Murphy
and Norman Joseph are taking
Spanish lessons. I'm wondering if
they are planning to visit south of
the border?
Breaks of the News
Baseball was started two weeks
ago in Company B and there has
been talk that B Company's baseball
team can lick the pants off of any
team in the battalion. Home run
hitters like Sgt. Prince A. Beck,
Pvt. Wilbert Rocker, Sgt. Spencer
irving, Pvt. Allen and Cpl. Fortune
say: 'The harder they pitch 1t the
farther it goes" If you saw them
practice you would believe them.
TIA T. C. Campbell does nothing
but sit and dream of Texas all day
long, and me, have too much OF
Texas.

Wrapped in the throes of packing
and moving, things have been going
pretty fast and furious for C. Co.
With so many of the fellows going
off to school, things are going to be
very lonesome for while. Our next
door neighbor to be is the 758th
Tank Bn. Even though we are con-
sidered the worst of enemies, we
are in reality the best of friends.
We have met before Gin Texas, and
only keen rivalry exists between
us in sports and the field.
An interesting fellow to meet in
our company is Pvt. Jimmie Cigar
BilD Rivers. Hailing from Birming-
ham, Alabama, he is one of the few
morale boosters" of the company
With a big cigar stuck in his mouth
(the better grade of five-cent cigar,
if any, he is always good for at
least three or four jokes a day. He
is a sight to see when he is angry
With his arms waving and his raw
ings tying up his speech, he is the
source of endless amusement for
the fellows.
Aside from the big fight staged in
Phoenix, there isn't much doing in
the line of sports. With the boxers
heading for Tucson, we do, how
ever, expect to have some soon.
They are going to fight for the
state championship For this they
are training very hard. Pfc. Teddy

BottoIion Surgeons Leadership
Keeps Medics' Morale on High Level

In May, 1943, the Medical Detach-
ment, 827th Tank Destroyer Bat
talon, received its greatest asset
from Fort George G. Meade, Mary
land, Capt. Adrian G. Lamos, who
ably served as assistant Battalion
Surgeon until July 6, 1943, at which
time he was placed in command of
the medical detachment and became
the battalion surgeon.
Because the new commander i'm
mediately exhibited superior ability
as surgeon and excellent qualities
of leadership, he was heartily well

Introducing


CPL William A. Campbell a young
man, but an old soldier, who halls
from the heart of Harlem. Bill
might be termed an average New
Yorker, considering that he has
never been on top of the Empire
State building nor seen the Statue
of Liberty. Upon completion of high
school, Campbell followed the foot
steps of his father (M/Sgt. Camp
bell on duty overseas) by en-
listing in the 10th Cavalry at West
Point, NJ Y. Bill remained with the
10th until he was transferred on
the cadre that activated this bat
tanlion. -Four years in the army has
not changed Campbell to any great
extent. He still possesses confidence,
initiative and the goodwill of all his
associates. A recent promotion in
dicates that he is on the ball and
on his way to the top again.

that you are a newlywed
WAC's Murphy & Ann Jones def
initely impressed the men of this
company at the party last week
with their pleasing personalities.
The arrival of what WAC from

AS company editor and columnist,
I reluctantly turn this column over

Derby, May Presidents OF
Derby, Ansonia, Shelton, Seymour
and the neighboring valley COM
munities indicate In first returns In
a poll Of public opinion conducted
by the Community Relations COM
mittee Of Griffin hospital that they
are deeply concerned with the hos
pitfalls lack of capacity to care for
patients, George H. Gamble, presi-
rent Of the hospital and chairman
Of the committee, said today.
Initial response to questionnaires,
designed to learn what the public
knows and thinks about the ade-
quacy and acceptability Of facilities
at Griffin hospital, show that IS
per cent believe the hospitals ca
pacity is inadequate, Mr.. Gamble
revealed.
Four out Of five Of those who have
filed their answers say that they
would depend upon the hospital II
they needed 1t at this time. An
equal proportion think that the
hospital is well managed and its
charges to patients who are able
to pay their bills are "fair," "rea.
sonable" or "low'.
Significance is attributed by Mr..
Gamble to the fact that a substan-
tial majority Of those responding
thus far believe o. public campaign
Is desirable when income from pa
tents and all other sources fails to
provide funds for engagements and
improvements to the hospital. In
addition, all but three percent ad.
vocate an appeal to the public for
contributions when income from
these sources fails to meet the cost
Of running the hospital.
Nine out Of ten believe Griffin
hospital should be enlarged to meet
present community requirements,
Mr.. Gamble announced.
'"T'he opinion Of the majority on
enlargement Of the hospital" Mr..
Gamble said, as well founded. In
the last ten years patients demands
have increased $50 per cent with
no corresponding enlargement in
the hospitals capacity"

There appears some doubt as To
whether requests for retirement on

In view Of the present shortage of
police officers due to induction into
the armed services and previous re-

ment from Patrolman Daniel
Namack.
Patrolman Namack reported that
he had been under medical care for
the past five years, and submitted a
letter from DR.. G. H. Newswanger
stating that he Is physically unfit
for service. It Is understood that
several more requests for retirement
because Of physical disabilities will
be placed before the board shortly.
The board granted Lieutenant Pol
lard leave Of absence from May 4
to June 8, and Patrolman Terrence
Lynch a leave Of absence during the
month Of July.
Raymond J. Tanning, managing
editor Of The American, was elected

BULLET OUTPUT
WOULD CIRCLE
GLOBE I TIMES

Kansas City, Mo-, May { - (U.
p.) - The Ordnance Plant near
here have often been the subject Of
many questions from the man on
the street, and one most frequently
asked has been How much small
arms ammunition has been pro-
duced at the plant?"
Major A. H. Gardner, Jr., Com
manding Ofiicer Of the Lake City
Ordnance Plant, has revealed that
all the cartridges Of all calibers
made since the plant began opera
tions in September, 194l, If placed
end to end would reach an estl-
mated distance Of 190,480 miles or
rs times around the earth.
Loading machine-gun belts have
been turned out In huge quantities
for both ground troops and air.
craft. It is estimated that the 30
and 50-caliber belts filled to date
would stretch 23,100 miles or the
estimated distance from Seattle to
Moscow through Berlin, New York,
San Francisco and to Tokyo.
Would Cover 1,119 Acres
Plant etatisticians have been
working the adding machines over
time to show that all the ammuni-
ton produced so far, II placed IN
ammunition chests would stretch
q distance equivalent to that from
Kansas City to New York, Cart
ridges spread out side by side and
end to end would form mat cover
Ing l,1i9 acres.
The lumber used in constructing
the ammunition chests If used as
building lumber would have been
sufficient to construct 5000 houses,
Major Gardner says.
A tremendous amount OF ma
terial Is necessary In the produce
ton Of small-arms ammunition, re-
ports show. Figures compiled at
the plant reveal that freight cars
that have come into the plant since
It began operations would form a
train 226 miles long, o distance
from Topeka, Kan, to st. Louis,
Mo. Trucks that have brought IN
shipments In that time through
the west gae would form cara
van 400 miles long.
Utilities Consumed
Major Gardner points out that
the sic of the great plant may be
visuali2ed by figures concerning the
capacities of utilities necessary to
operate the facility during the
month Of February. The electrical
consumption was enough to supply
a city Of 100000 population or Salt
Lake City, DeS Moines, or Tulsa.
The average monthly generation
Of steam at Lake City would sup
ply more than 10000 homes per
winter month. This Is enough to
operate four trains Of lis cars or
more, each at a continuous speed
Of 81 miles an hour.
Deep water wells dug in the
early days on the Lake City site
supply more than 120,000,000 gall
Ions monthly. This water Is chemi-
cally treated, purified and treated
for hardness. The water system is
sufacient to supply a city of more
than $4,000 people continuously.
