guess we were really right about Cupid's arrows. After seeing the other fellows getting married, Bob Branch decided to take the step himself. And, wonder of won ders, S/Sgt. Fabyan J. Rice, '"The One and Only," has decided that 1t would be better for him to become two rather than remain a bachelor and give all the girls break.
 We are wondering why Mike Mo Kenna is suddenly so interested in the general delivery m ail at Springfield, Mass. Could it be that Mike has decided to do something about that mysterious letter he re- ceived?
 From 8 very reliable source 1t has come to our attention that S/Sgt. Yanuski has been borrowing sugar from the WACs every day. We agree that it is a neighborly gesture, Ed, but why do you have to spend an hour getting one pound of sugar? Could it be that the cute Mess Sergeant appeals to you?
 And who is the wolf in cooks clothing that appears as if by magic when horn is blown outside the mess hall at night?
 It has come to our attention that our Medical Officer is quite an inn personator. His adaptation of Bud "I Can't Resist Me" Cole was a masterpiece in disguise.
 Last Saturday in Bristol the mas ter wolf was uncovered. T/Sgt- Bishop collected at least two dozen kisses that were meant for the groom and had all the women ga ga over his technique.

MEET THE 4Q2nd

In spite of the blizzards and cold and slush which were on hand to welcome it's arrival, the 402nd Fighter Group is happy to greet Bradley Field as it's new station. Recently activated and organized in the not too sunny climate of Carolina, this Group has a short past, but is confident of a success full future in it's association with Bradley. Readers of the BEAM may expect to see plenty about men of the 452nd and 540th Fighter Squadrons.
 Group Commander It. Col. Jos eph L. Dickman is the best exam pie of the organizations many as- sets. Immensely popular with both the officers and enlisted men of his cormald, this West Point flyer has an Army past of outstanding suc- cess on which to build his future achievements. Squadron Comman- ders Major Albert s. Aiken and Captain Thomas M. Boulware, Jr., have the ability and personality of excellent leaders as we'll as illus trious records in World War II combat flying.
 This new organization also brings to the field some outstand- ing non-coms. Group Sergeant Ma jor Anderson and Squadron First Sergeants Ginty and Generella "know their stuff" as the men that work for them would express it. Heads of departments and crew chiefs include men with long ex- perience in overseas service. Brad ley will know their names as their good work continues.
 To the recreational side of life, the 402nd also devotes unbounded energy. Officers and Enlisted Men alike know the importance of a good time. This reporter is not familiar with the goings on in BOO 145, but can speak intelli- gently about the T-400's. It is here by certified that no moss grows under the feet of the 402nd.
 From dancing to ping-pong the 4O2nd throws out a standing chal- lenge. At it's previous station the Group basketball team held top league rating. Already a 452nd Squadron man has won a Bradley

misfortune of being wounded in

would not take her very long
to realize that so far as our
fighting men are concerned, the
best is not too good-and this
goes for medical attention and
' nursing care as well as for
equipment.
Until recently men wounded
in combat were given care in
evacuation and field hospitals
and after a few days sent to
England for further treatment,
