335th Sta. Hosp.

Easter has come and gone. know
, lot of you missed seeing the usual
display of Easter bonnets and out
fits which always appear at that
time-I know I did However, do
not worry. for I am sure all of us
will be back home again someday
to carry ON where we left off. De-
spite the fact that the boys here
could not carry on their regular de-
huge of Easter parading, they had
the spirit and showed it by singing
Easter Songs-especially Put On
Your Easter Bonnet"
Furlough time is here again and
the boys are on edge for sure So
far this week we have seen Cpl.
William Maynard, T/5th Mayron
Crenshaw, Daniel Jackson, Vincent
Gaines, and Pvts Albert johnson
and Oliver Maynard off for home.
BY the way, wonder when mine is
coming up? I hope it isn't too far
away. T/5 Fayette Vanderford re-
turned from his furlough last
Thursday. From the look on his
face would say he had@a fine time
The 335th has been receiving un-
told compliments from different
people especially the WACs. Just
the other day Cpl Archie Wyatt,
T/5 Johnny Norris and your scribe
were walking down the hallway in
the hospital and a WAC passed by
and asked us-"Are you from the
335th?" We said yes and she re-
turned with sweet casual phrase,
How nice" When asked why she
wanted to know and why she said
How nice" she replied that she was
curious and meant for it to be
compliment. I could have been
knocked over by a feather and the
other boys felt the same way. Just
for my own benefit I would like to
know who she was. However, I guess
it is too late to find out.
A lot Of us miss our old Supply
Sgt. Willie Foster who was trans
ferred to the ON. We hope you do
as we'll there as you did in our
unit, Sgt. Foster. Good luck and
good hunting.
Can someone tell me why T/Sgt.
Herman Turner is so quiet and SER
enc now that he has been back from
home about a month? He used to
chase WACs or they chased him,
don't know which, here a while
back, but now look at him. What
happened, Sgt. Turner? Are you
waiting on time or are you letting
time wait on you?
The boys have a. tale out now on
Pvt. Eddie L. Hill as to why he
gets so much mail now days. They
claim that he sits down and writes
; himself. 1t isn't that bad, is it, Hill?
Maybe that is why Pvt. George Hol-
ifield hasn't been getting any I
understand that he got his first let
ter in 29 days last Friday No Won
der ne was SO jubilant when I saw
him.
Perhaps by now you have heard
about the janaboree party the NCOs
gave last Saturday night, April l.
A good time was definitely had by

333rd Ordnance

My dear readers: / take this op-
pcrtunity to inform you that though
circumstantial evidence may pre-
vail, and it is the opinion of many,
I am not THE Trooper" Now that
that is settled I'll assume that any
future similarity to information re-
vealed to yours truly is purely CO.
incidental and has no reflection on
persons living or dead.
Sgt Kelley our former CORE
Spondent, has at last departed this
station on furlough. The office
force misses him, too. That corner
of his is very quiet, all of a sudden.
The Hayden j. Smith is with us
once again, after spending two
months at a service school, which
was SO conveniently located that he
could commute with Chicago. And
the Windy City is such nice place
to do your weekend shopping, -
eh, Smitty?
An argument came up in the bar
racks the other night between two
of the Rats" namely. LynWood
DUSTY" Watts and James Prof"
Hargraves. 1t all started over the
pictures of Joe Louis fight with
Buddy Baer that were shown in the
barracks one night. 1t seems that
Dusty claimed to be an authority on
pugilism because he had once
climbed through the ropes, and
Prof" also claimed to know the
tricks of the game although he had
never had On<a pair Of gloves. When
I dropped off into slumber both
pugilist and statesman were run
ming neck and neck.
The location of new Hot Spot
was revealed to your reporter re-
Gently that bears the name Mr..
Georges Joint" AS the story goes,
it is the only establishment" on
the post that jumps all night with
the drinks on the house. That is,
until the house runs out. The MEM
bership fee is only one Coca Cola.
Guess Iii have to look into this
The Acting First Sergeant of the
3551St seemed to be disturbed in
deed over the failure Of that pretty
stationery post-marked in Twin
City" to appear on time
Pvt. Fowler has been carrying that
camera around for a whole week
now and, if I'm not mistaken, he
still has a whole roll Of film in it.
Can it be lack of subject matter or
is he just chooSey?
Sorry you all couldn't have been
invited to the Detachment's party
last Wednesday. Everyone seemed
to have an exceptionally good time.
Though I would suggest that Cpl.
Bryant stick to Coca Cola for re-
freshment. The bottles are easier
to keep grip on, too. No danger
of dropping them, or WAS that an
accident?
Wonder what happened to all the
dates the boys had planned for that
night? Seems TO me the feminine
patronage was not from the expect
ed sources. Don't tell me our boys
are losing their grip. And to think
the Buffaloes weren't back then
either.
If you throw q stone into q pack
CT dogs, the one that flowls got hit.
Sgt. S, take a tip from your Second
General Order and keep your mind
off taking the first one literally.

play. --...
Gen. McNair was particularly
impressed with the terrific fire
power of multiple-mounted so cal
ibre antiaircraft machine guns and
37mm automatic cannon installed
in speedy half-tracks.
Forty nm units Numbered shells
at er a ! targets and quickly
switched their fire to ground level
targets moving rapidly on distant
strung cables as the AGF COM
handing general watched.
"A spectacular display of search
lights criss-crocsed the sky over
Sears Landing and tracer bullets
spangled the night, as keen-eyed
gunners went ON target"
Ninety nm gun crews poured
shells at overhead targets, winning
the admiration of Gen McNair,
and like the lighter 40's, were
quickly converted to anti-tank fire.
Gen. McNair also noted the ac-
tivities of the Fourth Service Com

HAMILTON URGES
MEDICAL PROGRAM

RALEIGH, May 13.-tP)-Dr.
Horace c. Hamilton of N. C.. State
College, secretary of Governor
Broughton's committee on medi-
cal and hospital care for rural
people, said today that "volun-
tary and private efforts have not
and probably cannot meet the
medical care needs of the people
of North Carolina
In statement calling for a
statewide medical and hospital
care program, DR.. Hamilton de-
clared that "a sufficient number
and quality of medical personnel
should be provided so as to give
rural people the greatest possible
freedom in the choice of general
physicians. This implies adequate
hospital facilities as well as in
come high enough to attract and
hold medical personnel in rural
areas"
AS he'd of the colleges sociol-
ogy department and secretary of
the governor committee, DR..
Hamilton recently atteded a
health service conference in Chi
cago sponsored by the national
farm foundation.
The rural people of North Car
DINA need most of all a good gen.
eral physician, preferably not less
than one for each 1000 people, -
he said. I'm 81 counties in North
Carolina we have only one doctor
on the average for 1927 people. In
the state as a whole, there is only
one physician for each 2,19O in
habitants.
'It is obvious that voluntary
and private efforts have not and
probably cannot meet the medical
care needs of all the people. The
problem becomes, therefore, one
of serious public concern and Of
governmental action
Referring to what he termed
1.-THE risks and costs of state
wide health service program, DR.
Hamilton said that in order to
eliminate the bad effects of large
and unexpected expenditures, the
costs would have to be spread
over a period of time and over g
large population base"
ANY plan for paying medica.
care costs should be available tt
all people alike. 1t would be in err.
ror to develop a plan exclusively
for low income groups. The resul
of such procedure would be tt
pauperize Or stigmatize the low
income groups and to antagonize
the middle and upper income
groups not covered.
Turning to hospital conditions
he said that tie number, size
type and location of hospitals
clinics and health centers should
be determined on the basis of care
full planning by public commi
tees. The guiding goal is the max
imum amount of service to the
most people, he said, adding
that at least four beds for each
1000 inhabitants would be needed
