We Strike
The Final Blow
lFKQ)G.,e.y

We were sorry indeed to see our
former next door neighbors. the
758th Tank Battalion move back to
their old quarters when we had just
settled our minor quarrelS and jeal-
ousies and were beginning to get
along like brothers.
Everybody is asking the same
question: What will the Tiger do
now that the Buffalo is back? Well,
here is our answer: We will con-
tinue our training as usual, also our
after duty pleasures; but the line of
1--WE will have to become stronger.
The company appreciated the
way in which 1t. Lincoln E. Neil
assumed the duties of acting COM
pany commander the past week,
everybody co-operated and there
were no restrictions.
We were sorry to hear the sad
news of the passing of Pvt. Bufuth
E. Phillips sister in Alexander City,
Ala. He received 15-day furlough
to attend the funeral.
I wonder what is behind T/5 Har-
old o. Jackson'S new change in
thought? Those WACS are surely
on the pill
just what makes TIA Harold G..
knight and T/5 Harold o. Jackson
think the Bronx is heaven, they
should have lived in Brooklyn.
Ever since Pfc Livingston Higgs
got back from the hospital, the
company has been in an uproar.
T/Sgt. Frank N Owens had bet
ter wake up with those bowling
scores, such things like 70 and 80
cannot win the post tournament.
Pvt. Lorenzo E. Wilkes had ex-
actly thirty-five minutes to prepare
for a furlough last week, everyone
doubted his making the deadline.
but you know how these tbs work.
Yes, he made it to Jacksonville, Fla.
Hq. Co. was the first to take adj
vantage of the wonderful programs
Special Service has to offer. Their
absence would make this camp tru-
ly deserted outpost.

In the past week many furlougs

CHORUS DELIGHTS
 LARGE AUDIENCE
Don COssaCkS Give Fine Performance, Generous
 With EnCOreS

Once agai nthe Don Cossack Chorus has pleased local audience. And again they have given their customary fine performance with the familiar songs in generous pro- portion. Serge JarGff was in his us- ual top form and led the men through their various songs.
 Evaluating the musicianship or discussing the presentation of what these singing men do would be slightly repetitious. They are a hard working group of singers; they appreciate the importance of the text and they give, what is termed, a good performance. The lights and shades, the fortissimo and piano and pianissimo, the nuances, all these things make their singing something nice to listen to and to go home and talk about.
 As always their programs in cluded the same variety. In three different sections they devoted themselves to religious songs, to songs that had story to tell and containing lovely description in the music, and to the more familiar songs of Russia. The solo parts were handled with care, and to the danc- CTS when they st pped, or leaped, out for their turn were excellent.
 No performance of the Cossacks is complete without Dark Eyes, which takes on an instrumental character with its handling, also The Song of the Volga Boatmen,' and The Song of the Plains
 Bortmiansky's stirring How Great is Our Lord in Zion ended the pro- gram. The history of the Don Cos { sack Chorus by K. Schwedoff ar ranged by Jaroff always finds favor with 6 .diences

SECRET SERVICE
 GIVES WARNING
Check Thieves, FOrgers Thrive on CareleSSneSS
 of Public

Check thieves and check forgerS will do their Christmas shopping with stolen and forged checks if merchants and housewives aren't particularly careful, according to Frank J. Wilson, chief of the U. s. Secret Service, Treasury Depart ment. 'The government mails out nearly one million checks every day." says Chief Wilson, "and about eight million go each month to dependents of men in the armed forces. Check thieves steal as many as they can from hall and porch mail and porchshrdlushrdlu rdlushrdlu mail boxes. They they forge the endorsements and victimize retail CTS who are so anxious to make sales that they fail to consider the losses they may suffer through care lesSneSS."
 The Secret Service offers some simple precautions to help fight the forgery racket. If you receive checks by mail, be at home or have a member of your family at home to receive the cheeks when they are due. Then they can't be stolen from your mail box.
 If you are a retailer or cashier. don't cash checks for strangers with out proper Identification. Know your endorsers! Before cashing any check, ask yourself this question: If this check is returned as a forgery, can I locate the forger and recover my loss?"
 Christmas is not a halliday for the check forger," Chief Wilson said. He's on the job every minute, al- ways looking for merchants he can fool. The only way to beat him is to beat him to the punch. Know your endorsers-require identifica- tion!"

However, Officer Dwyer points out, no amount of police work will be of value if the cooperation of the public is not forthcoming to reduce the accident rate. Safety, in the final analysis, Officer Dwyer states, Is pre- ty much of an individual problem, and 1t is up to each driver and pedestrian to use Care, Courtesy and Common Sense.
 Supt. of Police Daniel J. Carson today issued the following state ment:
 Every year during the shopping season there is always an upward trend in the highway accident rate. Many of these unfortunate accidents result in 8 personal injury to the person on foot, ard nothing is more likely to upset the plans for happy holiday season. So let us all get to- gether and make this a Merry Christmas minus accidents. Try these rules on your shopping tour:
 Cross only on crosswalks where police are stationed, and only on his signal.
