Sports TO Enjoy
Biggest Boom

CHICAGO, June 10 QNS)-The
biggest sports boom in the history
OF the United States is in prospect
after the war in the opinion of
Hugo Goldsmith, official of a Gin
cinnati athletic goods manufac-
turing concern.
eff we look back over the his
tory Of this country" Goldsmith
said, 1--WE will find that there
has been an upsurge i'm sports
activity after every war.
Baseball enjoyed new pres
tige after the Spanish-American
War, college football came into
Its own, baske tbaI I spread
throughout tho country, and
boxing and other sports bene-
fitted, too"
Golf, Goldsmith said, became
everyman's game after the first
world war, rather than a sport of
a few people. During the twenties,
college presidents, who in 1906
thought stadia built to seat 5000
would become white elephants"
approved construction of athletic
fields that would seat upwards of
100000 fans, Goldsmith recalled.

battles.
The realization that training
in swimming was necessary was
soon reached, however, and its
elimination can be seen in
mass training programs such as are
carried out in Fort Huachuca under
the caption, ''Swim and Live.'
Every Soldier a Swimmer
The Huachuca swimming program
is aimed at teaching every soldier
the basic fundamentals of taking
care of himself in the water. There
are no fancy tricks nor furbelows in
the course. How to stay on top of
the water in uniform and equipment
is the theme of the instruction
which is carried out by the showing
of an Army Training Film, by lee
ture and demonstration and finally
by actual participation of the men
in the huge pool.
The Training Film, Swim and
Live" shows the urgency of know
ing how to swim and demonstrates
learning processes. Twice a day,
groups of non-sWimmers in allotted
outfits see the twenty minute film
and then repair to the New Canton

Neqro Service Units

EUROPEAN

HEADQUARTERS, EUROPEAN
THEATER OF OPERATIONS
Working night and day, the Army's
Negro Quartermaster service units
in England are keeping supplies
moving across the channel to the
fighting men in France.
Food and clothing, ammunition,
ordnance and medical supplies for
the combat troops roll out of United
States Army supply bases "a hours
a day on freight cars and trucks.
Rushed to invasion ports, these vital
essentials are loaded on transports
for cross channel delivery to the
beachhead depots in Normandy.
These Negro units, and crack
Negro port battalions working at
the docks, handle much. of the load
ing and unloading details. At one
British harbor, port battalion units
worked nearly so hours without
sleep to speed the supplies to our
fighting men shortly after D-Day.
Similar units landed right behind
the assault forces and unloaded
cargo ships during the height OF
action.

QIl|B|7bNBOx

The V.D. Question Box is con-
test designed for all personnel of
Fort Huachuca - officers, enlisted
men, WACs and civilians. Theatre
tickets, valued at S1.5O each are
awarded weekly for the most in
formative questions asked and
answered. Questions may be sub
mitted to the v. ID. Control Of
ficer, Capt. j. j. Goldsberry, or
to the office of the Apache Sen
tinel. No more than five awards
will be made during one week.
/. A soldier writes, eff I go with
a girl in Fry on Friday and with
another girl in Naco on Saturday
and subsequently develop venereal
disease, which girl gave it to me?
Answer: This soldier might have
contracted the venereal infection
from either girl. Again he might
have caught it from one girl and in
fected the other. The Importance of
this situation lies in the fact that
venereal infection is contracted
from promiscuous sexual inter-
course, therefore it is necessary to
avoid excessive exposures.
2. If a T/Sgt., holding a very
important assignment was found,
on routine examination to have a
positive blood test for syphilis,
should he be reduced in grade?
Answer: Soldiers cannot be re-
duced in grade because of venereal
disease. Once in a while a Com
manding Officer may find such an
enlisted man inefficient and the
contracting Of a venereal infection
would be an added cause for reduc-
ton. But since man is free from
a disease at induction, the fact that
his blood has become bad, indicates
that at one time he may, have had
a lesion that was not reported to
the Medical Officer. This type of
action usually results in Court
martial However, it must be stressed
that since non commissioned Off
GERS are the cruX of the company
v. d. program and the example for
other men to follow, they must re-
main free from Infection.
8. How is gonorrhea acquired in
females?
Answer: 400 of the females in
fected with gonorrhea are married..
These women have no extra marital
sexual desires or associations. They
acquire inf e C tions S innocently
through their husbands. 309o of the
women infected are unmarried.

WAC Orientation

WAC rentation this past week took
the form of quiz which, though brief,
touched on a wide range of subjects
on which WACs and all soldiers should
be informed. Thinking caps had to be
put on, and lively interest in the sub
iects covered was evident when WACs
marked each others papers and some
good natured arguments arose on the
answers. The balance of the time was
taken up with an up-to. date reporting
of the news covering all the battle
fronts, given visual support by series
of maps and current periodicals.
The rainy season drove the orienta-
ton class indoors but it retained its
interest, nevertheless.

The move at the tool company fol- lows a similar move over the week. end at the American Brass Com- pany, which previously was reported to have dismissed a number of part time workers.
 It is understood several of the dismissed employees have called at the U. s. Employment Service for placement in other part-time work. Several plants in the area are re- ported to have orders for part-time help, which is being widely eneour- aged by the War Manpower Com mission.
 Area WING Director Mary M, Dewey, when contacted today on the reported layoffs, stated employ CTS of the area will be asked to use part-time workers instead of asking for full-time help. She pointed out the USES will not look fayorably at requests for full-time help from concerns which have dismissed part time employees.
 Paul Parsons, manager of the USES, stated he was looking into the dismissal reports today,
 Any trend to decrease part-time help here will be discouraged by government authorities, who will re- new pleas in behalf of paTt-time employment, it was indicated today,
 The number of workers affected by the lay-offs at the two plants could not be determined today, but one source indicated the total at one plant is large,
