CONTROL BOARD.
By SGT. FRED COUNSEL

Every big fish started life on a small scale and so did the soft ball team. The scales are weigh ing heavy since taking over the Coast Artillery, 12 to 2 in our fav- or. T/Sgt. Bill Ward and Cpl. Sim ger are fishers of fine softball men. Pvt. Legal pitches mean ball and SISgt. Kowalski catches mean pitch. They air their scores, fall- acies and short stops (Ed. note: Does he need airing?) at the club house, the passionately striped red and black PIX.
 Sgt. Lonny Hagler, erstwhile civilian (furlough), has returned to earth and dispenses in CT fash ion-sodas and fine lotions before nine. After nine-well, his life is closed book.
 G-man Pvt. Rob't Wilson has all the latest dirt. Toward the end of the month he has habit of smok- ing leaves in that old incinerator of his. The flame you see isn't al ways Wilson's red hair, it likely IS Windsor Locks. Chemically, if you add ssgoldilocks" and "redlocks" you get smoke. Where there's smoke there's fire and where there's fire you see "Red."
 Pvt. Al Sadowski arrived on the five o'clock choo-choo. Pardon me, boys he brought back the Elyria bank. Don't take him seriously if he suggests a loan-he may em- ploy sleight of hand. His girl friend is still missing that engage ment ring.
 Pvt. Frank Jordan (Roll, Jor- dan, Roll) is still rolling those low ely brown eyes of his in the direc- tion of Hartford. Did he propose? Yes he did!!! He proposed that they go steady.
 Who is writing a dayroom class ic? .::". Who, were there dance, would crash it?
 Who sweats and perspires as he whiles away hours.
 Writing his love? Oh dash it. it's Garner! .~:* Don't fail to make use of the "B" box for suggestions and grip es.

Male Call

The old adage that states, "What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander," was put into action dur ing the past week by our own fav- orite Air-Wacs. The women in uni form at Bradley have nominated four of their masculine associates to compete for the title of WAC PIN-UP BOY."
 In a strictly democratic election the Wacs cast their votes for their favorite G. l., resulting in twenty five stalwart soldiers having bal lots cast in their favor. The four top candidates will compete for the title during the coming week.
 According to the BEAMS Wac correspondent, the election was strictly according to Hoyle. Each Wac was given ballot on which she could write in the name of any G. I. she thought deserved the title. A deadline for the return of the ballots was set for two days after their distribution and, according to our informant, many Wac dis turbed her coiffure making dash for the ballot box before it was too late.
 And now, before the suspense gets too great for the boys of Brad ley, the BEAM announces the four candidates. On your mark, fellows, here goes. In top spot is T/Sgt. Wayne Fredericks, with SfSgt. John M. Rolls, Cpl. Donald Reich ert and a dark horse, Pvt. Gerald Young, hot at his heels.
 For the benefit of the Wacs vot- ing, the following vital statistics are offered on each candidate.
 T/Sgt. Wayne F'redericks of Rocky Mount, North Caroline, holds inside track on the girls affections, but the impartial BEAM makes no predictions. Wayne stands six feet tall, weights a solid 168 pounds, has blonde wavy hair, blue-green eyes and a soft spoken drawl that has it's effect on the fair sex. When questioned as to his romantic sta

rifle and during the past week took his first pot shots at target with the carbine. As hobby the Major keeps a large scrapbook with pho- tos and articles of interest concern ing the installations at which he has served, including a complete file of the BEAMS "Officer of the Week" feature. He feels these ar ticles will serve as an excellent re- hinder of the officers he has served with during the present conflict, many years after it is over.

 Major Robinson's civilian career always included some form of en- gineering work and for fifteen years prior to his entering active service with the Army he was en1- ployed with the Engineering De- partment of the Travellers Insur- ance Company. He is now on leave of absence from this company and following the war expects to return to his former position. At present, the Majors family, Mrs. Genevieve Robinson, and two daughters, Mar ian and Peggy, reside in Boston where the headquarters of the Ma jor's engineering organization IS located.
 By way of relaxation, Major Robinson formerly participated in the rough and tumble game of hockey, but at present confines his off duty hours to the less strenu- ous pastime of shooting. He has qualified as an expert on such weapons as the rife, pistol, Brown ing machine gun and automatic
