Another JWB-USO Picnic Wednesday
 At Keney Park

The third JWB-USO picnic of the season will be held this coming Wednesday evening, August ninth, with transportation leaving the Rec Hall at 1900, half hour later than usual so you G.I.s can have a chance to part your hair more evenly before meeting the lovely hostesses.
 The picnic will again begin at Keney Park where there will be the usual excellent refreshments (that watermelon was delicious at the last one) lots of amusement in the way of games and plenty of hostesses to serve chow and offer conversation. Just about dusk-time the picnickers will pack up and leave for the Tumble Brook Coun- try Club where an excellent dance floor bordered by a breeze-swept porch, more refreshments and the music of Gibson Woods Orchestra are available plus the already present dancing partners.
 However, don't take our word for all this entertainment offer, just see for yourself or ask the man who's been there.

Outdoor Concert for
 Next Friday Cancelled

The outdoor concert and star light dance series held on Friday evenings at the baseball diamond has been cancelled for the evening of August eleventh. However, they will be resumed on August eigh- teenth.
 The concert series which began three weeks ago features a pro- gram of varied selections by the Bradley Field Band while listeners can relax in the grass near the baseball diamond or take advan- tage of the bleacher seats usually occupied by fans of the national pastime. Following the concert which begins at 1880 the Bradley Field Orchestra takes over and provides the rhythms for dancing until 23O0. Since the whole affair takes place outdoors under the stars the jive-hounds can swing and sway the non-sweat way. At present the dances and concerts are expected to be held throughout the rest of the summer and early fall.

Civilian Personnel .Jottings


 Of course we are all interested in how we stand on the final fig ures for our 9th War Loan Drive. Congratulations are in order. Note the figures printed in this issue of the BEAM, for Civilians in all De partments. Going back to ancient history" namely the War Bond Rally, Bernie Grimm and Rolf Roman are extremely photogenic, and had space permitted would have kept up the fine standard of pictures run in the BEAM.
 Wasn't OPEN HOUSE a splen- did success? It certainly gave our sisters and our brothers and our cousins and our aunts a chance to see in part what fine field Brad ley is, and what an important part it has in this tremendous program of winning the war.
 The Employees Association is making plans for its new program. According to Richard (Dick) Yeag- CT we are all to be pleasantly sur prised and pleased. This new group insurance, the Connecticut Blue Cross, is just about ready for it's survey. That is only the beginning of what is to be offered. To be an active, worthwhile association we will have to go FALL OUT' for 100 percent membership, so in the near future be ready when your representative contacts you.
 Civilian Personalities:
 VERLOIS PARKER has had very colorful and interesting back ground. He was born and brought up in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, where he received his education. His home at present is in Lunch burg, Massachusetts, but he has lad to leave the responsibility of it with his wife as he lives here on the Base. MT. Parker operated his own business. At the begin ming of the war he joined the Sig nal Corps in the capacity of civil ian advisor and radio technician and in September 1922 was sent to Labrador as the only civilian to assist in the installation and main tenance of the communication equipment for the Army Air Ways Communication System. He re- mained at this post for one year. It is one of the stop-overs for planes en route to Europe, mili- tary planes bound for the front and Transports carrying supplies and personnel. Outside of the facts of eating dehydrated food all the time, battling mosquitoes and black flies. in the summer and the complete isolation, Velois states that it was a year filled with new enjoyable experiences. After La brador, MT. Parker was sent here to Bradley in October 1943. His work here is mainly in maintain ing the equipment of the AACS which controls the flow of air traf- fic in and out of the Base. One of his minor duties is to keep the Guard Squadron's two-way radios in operation. We are mighty proud to have MT. Parker as one of our Civilians.
