A 6 P COMBINE DROPS OUT FOR

 Eight teams win pSy the Id off the lell.sS Mercantile Bowling League at sam senaS well-kept d. leys Tuesday evening, sept. 10. with one new entry, Joe sulllvan's Cloth- lers, taking over the franchise va cated by the A 6 P duckplnners, according to Andy oullianl, loop prexy who expects the coming campaign to be one of the most in- terestlng In the circuits existence.
 Three other new teams were rep- resented at the initial barley last Tusday evening, but the trio were rejected.
 A new ruling was established at Tuesdays session which will be In effect this season for the first time and though 1t was sanctioned Tues. day it since has caused plenty of pro and con discussion.
 The new measure specifically states that any bowler who rolled in the circuit last year cannot roll this year with any other club other than the one he pinned for last year. Tn other words, if Brookside Dairy plnman from ip4S-4A changed his job and is now working for Sul- llvan's Clothes he cannot roll with the latter club this year. A clearer explanation is that that individual IS out as far as the l944-A6 circuit is concerned.
 The Girls Mercantile Duckpln League will be officially inaugurated tomorrow evening at o'clock at the Mattatuck Alleys with 10 teams entered. Ida Corrigan is the loop president.

BURNING GOOD LUCK CANDLES K ANCIENT
 CHRISTMAS CUSTOM

Try net to let Christmas go by without burning two good luck candles" bayberry candles, of course, with their pungent incense. They are as much part of Christ mastide as the holly wreath or the evergreen tree, and there's no per- fume to equal the faint fragrance of the wax from real bayberry shrubs.
 An old legend VOWS: That if lovers are separated at Christmas time through some quarrel or misunder- standing, both burn a bayberry candle before midnight on Christ mas eve, the sweet incense will be waited from one to the other and a joyous reunion effected
 But whether that's true or not, we all do know that:
 "A bayberry candle burned to
 the socket
 Will bring luck to the house
 and gold to the pocket"

SE:R E:RvI(E: NE N'S SANTA
By ADELAIDE KERR .AP Newsfeatures Writer

| Betty Mason plays Santa Claus for thousands of United Nations service men scattered all over the world.
 Look for her nearly any weekday and you will find her flanked by miniature mountains of lingerie, perfume and whatnot in large New York department. store, selecting Christmas gifts for mothers, wives and sweethearts of soldiers, sailors and marines. Thousands in Pacific and European battle areas delegate her to do a job which they can't do themselves. Others who pass through New York enlist her help as United Nations service mems shopper in the store where she is employed.
 What do you think they buy most?" asked blue-eyed Betty with a little grin. Black underwear for their wives and sweethearts They buy stacks of it, and all kinds of other lingerie too. Their next favor ite is a makeup kit or any kind of a kit and the third is purses or wallets. Then, they love musical powder boxes and the tune most of them want the boxes to play is Always"
 Betty says she filled 1000 service mems orders last Christmas and expects to do much more this year. In her work she has helped patch up a lot of quarrels, learned of some tragedies, kept a lot of secrets. One ensign ordered @ number of Christmas gifts last year for his ex- pected heir-and died the day after he was born. (When she learned that Betty cried) A sergeant in the European war theatre wrote that he had broken his mothers rocking chair as a child and wanted her to buy another to replace it (She final ly found what he wanted, even to chintz cushions of the right color) =. A captain wrote from Italy, My girl and I have had row. I want to fix it up Here's a check for $75. Get her something nice in jewelry." And then little later, Thanks lot. But it didn't do any good" E. A corporal wrote from England, Get my girl the prettiest flowers you can find" And then, before she could fill the order" Never mind those flowers. Buy me flashlight in- stead"
 Most service men for whom Betty shops write her extravagant thanks.

EARLY CHRISTMAS

There is no mention of a Chris tian observance of December 25 as Christmas before the fifth century. There is, in fact, no record to indi- cate what date Jesus was born. Va rious researchers have set the day as January 6, March 25, May 20, April l9 and November IT, In order to win Christian converts away from their observance of the pagan mid winter festival, early churchmen induced them to observe the birth of Christ Jesus at that time instead Thus in time December 25 came to be established as Christmas.

Col. Flip Corkin vs. Col. Phil Cochran

NEW YORK-Colonel Philip G. Cochran, who recently helped plan and direct the landings of the 1st Air Commando Force behind Jap lines in Burma, still gets his real life achievements mixed up with his comic strip adventures, accord ing to Sgt. Merle Miller, TANK staff correspondent.
 If there are any real old
 timers" still left at Bradley
 they may remember Col. Coch-
 ran for he was stationed at
 this Base during the latter
 part of 1941 as Commanding
 Officer of a Fighter Squadron.
 Most people still call Col. Coch- ran "Flip," thinking he's the same colonel as Flip Corkin in "Terry and the Pirates," the cartoon char acter modelled after him by his friend, Milton Caniff. Furthermore somebody's always asking Coch- ran about Taffy Tucker, the Army nurse Flip spends lot of time with.
 The parallel between Cochran and Corkin really became deadly, Miller points out, when on March 17th, Flip mentioned in "Terry and the Pirates" that he was complet- ing plans for an invasion of Bur- ma by his newly organized glider borne Air Commandos. The next morning the actual operation was announced.
 According to Caniff, it was sinnp- ly a case of the long arm of coin cidence reaching half way around the world. Caniff just sits in his studio and tries to imagine an ln- credible operation, but still pos sible-and usually Cochran does 1t.
 Miller's full length combat DOT trait of probably the best known, most carelessly dressed and least CT full colonel in the U. s. Army, is featured in the August 4th issue of TANK, the Army Weekly, on sale at Post Exchanges and Ships Services, July 28th.

INFANTRYMEN GET S and S1O RAISES
 IN PAY BOOST BILL

Combat infantrymen and those who wear the expert infantrymar's badge won pay boosts recently when President Roosevelt signed a bill granting increases of S10 to the former and S5 to the latter, re- troactive to last January first.
 The bill, which was approved by Congress and signed by the Presi- dent, makes all combat ground per- sonnel eligible for the extra pay but as yet the WD has not set up a system comparable to the award ing of combat and expert infantry men badges in any other branch.
 Officials have said that 75 per cent of the Army's infantrymen will qualify for the increases. ..
 Other men in line for extra pay are members of military and naval glider units, who, under another bill signed by the President will receive a 50 per cent increase when an executive order defining the terms of the raise is issued by the President. Officers, warrant off cers, nurses and enlisted men "who participate in regular and frequent glider flights" will be eligible to receive the increase when the or der is issued. ---.

The Case of the Missing Beagle +" or Who Done AaVay With I'D" Dog

It was dark and stormy night, well, actually it was about 1000 on bright sunny morning-but who ever heard of a mystery at that hour? Joe Seaha, popular proprie- tor of Joe's, Eats for the Elite, Ladies Invited, was busy burning a hamburger. Outside the building slightly adjacent to the Main Gate, his faithful hound "D-Day," a four months-old beagle, was busy yap- ping away at the occasional G.l.'s who passed. Then, suddenly, the yapping ceased; but Joe, deafened temporarily by the sizzle of roast ing weiner, didn't notice the hush. At approximately 1912 he left his stand behind the counter to pay visit to his favorite pup: Alas and alack, "D-Day" was gone. All that remained was an empty, forlorn- looking leash and puppy footprints in the sand, mute testimony of the hound that had been.
 Joe was aghast! His best friend

YOUR N.C.O. CLUB REPORTER SAYS

You hear it everywhere: Were you there ?" Where? The logical answer is the NCO Club on We'd nesday night. SSgt. Morrison's aptly put poster "You Amt Lived" expresses best what we have to say about the affair. To the smooth strains of Bradley's best musicians the Non-Coms and their guests danced away the hours.
 Wednesday night promises to be regular affair at the club house, and that alone is proof of the fact that things are stepping along with the NCO's.
 S/Sgt. and Mrs Hamlin were there, along with several other men and theig wives. The occasion can boast of one of the Navy's Nom Cons. That always contributes to the overall picture of any military establishment. 1szSgt. Ginty and :M/Sgt. Ochmanski did what is rightfully termed some heavy rug cutting. Sgt. Mary Pantelis was the charming hostess of the evening.
 The fine showing of the WAC Detachment was a warm approval of the affair and a great contribut- ing factor in the good time had by all. M/Sgt. Young, TSgt. Kollar along with T/Sgt. Lutz and Cpl. Reichert had their heads together in deep conversation. Sgt. Rita Lawson, Cpl Bishop and friends, S/Sgt. Hill and S/Sgt. Young, ex- changing ideas over the good vari- ety of sandwiches that were served late in the evening. T/Sgt. Kubech and Sgt. Bani sitting along the wall seat with a group of co-workers. M/Sgt. Hyde, in the traditional sartorial elegance that is synono- nous with the name Hyde, moving among his many friends.
 Some of the notables missing were S/Sgt. Bridgham, TSgt. Frederick and the new Mrs. Fred erick (still on their honeymoon), SSgt. Friedman, S/Sgt. Hagan, SSgt. St. Mauro.
 Some one said once: What is the NCO Club for?" If these We'd nesday nights are the answer, we are for it all out. By word of mouth and deed, next Wednesday should be twice the size and twice the fun.

was gone. No longer would the sound of "D-Day's" whimpering lull him to sleep in the wee hours of the morning. No longer would the sound of pattering paws greet him as he awakened. No longer would "D-Day's" melancholy eyes stare into his, begging for stray bit of beef or a confding pat upon the brow.
 Well, that's the story, dear read CTS. All this took place a few days ago but as yet "D-Day" has failed to return and Joe admits with a tear in his voice that "He hasn't even written" Joe still hopes that love will triumph over all, that "D-Day' will return to the happy comfort of his masters lap but he figures "D-Dayn may need help. If you can help "D-Day" return to his masters arms, please do. Joe has promised a reward. Meanwhile, we of Bradley say: "Buck up Joe. It's always darkest before the dawn-isn't it?"
