Upper POP
"The Clean Kids''

We offer this column in memory of days of yore-days past-days of dirty shoes, of wrinkled beds, yes, even untidy floors. Why in memoriam? We'll! On this bright Saturday midday an inspection was completed. An inspection carefully planned by Officers. Planned to un- earth the most minute of stuff, to find hidden under Corporal Herman dez's bed, perhaps, a dinosaur. Or maybe, S/Sgt. Marshall had secret ed a small electric dynamo in his bar racks bag. Those were the plans. But plans are oft laid without talk ing into account "the clean kids" Alas, the inspecting Officers were disappointed.
 Who could foil inspectors of Sec tion "G"? Men from Mars No. Women soldiers (WACS)? No. No. How could such a deed be accom- plished by any mere human mind ? For haven't these same inspectors found, time after time, discrepan- cies where oft an ordinary Dick Tracy could not have unearthed the Brow?
 It all happened when S/Sgt. Tom Conroy and S/Sgt. Bob Bueh- Ter volunteered CD for the jobs of Assistant Bay Chiefs, one policing the south side of upper POP and the other the north side. These new Bay Chiefs are not ordinary nor tals. For Conroy has a spiritual bearing that would tend to tighten even a Section "G" inspection. And Buehler knows of figures Chats statisticaD, Buehler knows of add ing and even multiplication. These men were responsible. These men are of ours of POP. For Conroy con- socrates while Buehler prepares graphs and charts. Naturally, then, we passed the inspection.
 We, the men of upper POP, regret that other men cannot be like unto us. For we are clean, we are "the clean kids" of Bradley Field. We wash, mop our floors, and even at times sleep on sheets. We offer to all other men our condolences. We have passed an inspection.

Regardless of what It. Murphy told some pilots, the weather sta- ton did not forecast Tuesdays IT, State earthquake. No seismologists we. In fact only one weather sta- tion on the countrywide teletype hookup seemed sure enough of what was going on to report it. Danville, N. Y, sent through EARTHQUAKE TREMORS" and probably the observer thought he'd be gigged later. If you don't know already, the center of the quake was near Ottawa. It lasted more than an hour, was the most wide spread tremor in the East since 1886, and did $1,O00,00O damage in Cornwall, a Canadian city on the St. Lawrence. Neatest work done here in the crisis was that of Pvt. Hanson, unaecountably half-asleep in the barracks when the shock came. Looking over to see that it was not just Cpl. Johnson coming in, Hanson-a true scientist even when, or maybe especially when, half-asleep-clocked the phenom- enon with his wrist watch at 0O42 EWT and went back to sleep. Since the official starting time was OO39:O1 he didn't do badly.
 GOODBY AGAIN
 Regretting the implication that our outfit doesn't like this place, we have to report three more de- partures: Pfc. Richard M. Judd, Pfc. Donald E.. Moser, and Pfc. Stephen E. Eakle. They will be missed by many men, women, and in the case of Eakle-horses. so SORRY
 When breezy Pfc. Ed Stanich shipped out recently we recalled that splash he made on reporting here last winter. Ed walked into the Weather Office where a hatless individual in leather flight jacket was busily reading and, anxious to make friends right away, greet ed the stranger, "Hi Bud! How do you like this weather racket ?" His new buddy turned out to be a Major, merely the Regional Con- trol Officer who had just flown up on business. (The Major happens to be regular so nothing happened but a good laugh all around.) l WOMAN'S TOUCH
 We all hope Cpl. Loretta Ken ward will soon be off the sick list. But no one misses the squadron's calmly competent clerk more than M/Sgt. Lutz, whose daily battles with the typewriter and tons of red tape will soon drive him to- well, maybe Brooklyn.
