FINANCE FLASHES
By PVT. IRA ASKIN

Amid the golden flicker of little candles and the rumble of mellow ed laughter, the words Happy Birthday" rang out at the Finance party last Tuesday night. Our sta tisticians determined that the com bined ages of our personnel and guests was 908 years, so we cele- brated the 908th birthday. Super visory honors again went to Mrs. Bessem and Mrs. Lappin who out did their previous performances if such a thing were possible. As a token of our esteem and apprecia- tion, everyone present heartily joined in the toast to these ladies led by Major Miller.
 The detachment was pleased to play host to many new friends in- cluding Capt. Collin, the Misses Hastings and Zak of the Base bank as we'll as several wives of our Financemen who had not been to our previous get-togethers. Of the surprises of the evening, credit for the biggest one goes to our own Wild Bill. With speed that would put Superman to shame, he jumped out of his seat, raced across the room, and returned with a glass when the need of one suddenly seemed urgent. And there was Bill Hays carving. He is really mas ter at that; but someone ought to initiate him in the Kappa Kegga

Beah Fraternity. Even Milwaukee Smitty let us down on that score. Some of the men had the fore thought to supply themselves with raincoats which came in mighty handy.
 The cribbage tournament is mov- ing at fast and furious pace. It is still short of the halfway mark with two of the contestants yet to play their first series of matches. At the present time, first place is held by Van Buskirk with Michael son, Askin, White, Schmidt, Holmes, Buffum, Harrington, Me Kittrick, Barnes, Kiely, and Hay following in that order. It is still, however, anybody's contest.
 Credit for the biggest event of the week goes to It. Hooten. We are proud to say that his shoulders now reflect the glow of silver in- stead of the glitter of gold. But that is far from the important part. It is officially reported that he has completed arrangements with Miss Sue Chamberlaind for a permanent alliance to be consum- mated in the near future as evi- denced by the sparkling diamond now gracing Miss Chamberlaind's third finger, left hand. To the Lieu tenant, our heartiest congratula- tions, and to his fiancee-the very best of everything.

Yesterday was the birthday of a Utica, New York, product. He is Master Sergeant William C. Young, Non-Com in charge of all the ground and airborne Signal Corps equipment used here at Bradley and at all the Sub-Bases.
 Bill entered Randolph Macon College in Virginia with an idea of prepping a bit for Albany Law School. He comes from a family of lawyers and it was hoped that he would follow in their footsteps. However, after two years at the Law School, he decided that Black stone was OK for some people but not for MT. Young.
 His first venture in the business world was with the Revere Copper and Brass Company, where, after undergoing the usual two months training, he became interested in the industrial sales branch of cleo trical welding and steel tubing. In this capacity he was transferred to the Rome Manufacturing Division of the Revere Company.
 He made the transition to GI on 7 May 1941, when he was in>

Upton, New York. During the fol- ducted into the Service at Camp lowing month, he was sent tc Mitchell Field and assigned to the 26th Signal Platoon. On the last day of August, he stepped off the train at Windsor Locks and got his first view of this Base which was to be his home from that day on. In February 1942, he was trans ferred to the 851st Signal Detach- ment and has received his three top ratings in this organization. He achieved his third rocker in Au- gust, 1943. .
 The Sergeant is quite a golfer and shoots in the high seventies and low eighties consistently. Dur ing his college years, he supervised the Lake Brantigham Golf Club in upper New York State. It was there, incidentally, that he met the girl who was destined to be- come Mrs. Young.
 Sergeant and Mrs. Rosemary Young still reside in Utica, and last April twentieth their union was blessed with a son, William Clark, junior.

ORDNANCE
 BLOCK BUSTER
By Pfc. Erwin KoerDer

As general rule, bowling has always been regarded as 8 sport that seldom caused casualties, but our "B" team is one team to which rules do not apply. That team is really unpredictable, much to the chagrin of the "A" team, and now they have casualty in Pfc. Gar land, who has lost his voice. The cause-too much lung exertation at last weeks match. Garland writes here: 1t was worth it." He is now the "B" teams whispering hope. He is still better off than a certain sergeant who lost out to the Navy last Saturday. Would a clue of a name beginning with a capital K help?
 A little drama was enacted April first in Major Poudre's office. Six confused GIs were ushered in and expected anything to happen. The Major started out talking as though it was bad news but it turned out to be good news-in the form of stripes. No, it wasn't an April Fool joke to newly promoted T/Sgt. Anderson, S/Sgt. Kilian, Sgt. McCuistion, Cpl. Hearly, Cpl. Coats and Cpl. Donovan.
 When that letter catches up with you" sure applies to Mallon. A letter incorrectly addressed to him travelled around the country for three months, and probably around the world, in miles travelled. It was postmarked Lowry Field, then to Fort Meyers, then to Flor ence, s. C., then to Patterson Field, back to Lowry Field and returned to the sender, who since then had been shipped from Lowry to Brad ley. It was delivered by the sender personally to Mallon. (Is this get ting confusing-it was to the Post Office, too). Moral: Someone sure is gonna miss this free franking privilege or don't worry, it may be on the way.

Impression During and On Return from FurlOugh:

The railroads are rolling on with sense of humor. Reason: One particular sign was noticed that had a long printed explanation to passengers of reasons why they might have to stand and it closed with "and hope you will under stand" with the under crossed out by some joker. That is either un- derstatement or something up from away down under-With fur loughs, unit histories, etc, the Blockbuster has been asbent from print for two weeks but Pvt. Von- derbrink says that it will never happen again.

Cues tion to .Savino, "Got any dope to- day." Answer: "No, are you a fiend ?". Don't startle Pvt. Un- derwood by asking him for his reg istration card; he is sensitive about last Saturday night.

Yes, boys, her name is Shir- ley and she aims to work at BOO :. .Ex-air cadets Hopkins and Tay- Tor are getting their feet on the ground about now. Pfc.

 Easter Parade:
 Back in civilian life a buddy of Sgt. Holt borrowed a colorful tie that Holt prized highly. When Holt came in the Army he didn't bother about the tie, naturally. His thoughtful buddy the other day re- turned the tie in the mail, express ing the hope that it would be fit ting present for Easter. If Holt de- cides to wear this tie on the Easter parade, please, MPs, give him a break.

1t is good garden practice to sow

continue the supply of lettuce for

Gardeners are wondering whether
or not to save seeds for next years

be in ample supply and there is
little to be gained by this practice.
In most gardens the varieties win
