northeastward toward the United | States from the warm waters of the Caribbean, it generally begins to recurye into the northeast (be- fore or after punishing Florida, dependent on it's course) and even tually spends itself harmlessly in the cooler waters of the North Atlantic. Rarely, hurricanes don't recurve but come straight north like the one in 1888 and the one that hit us last month. However, the hurricane that raced through Cuba and Florida, during the week ending October twenty first, pull ed new trick, demonstrating why these big winds give forecasters grey hair. It began to recurve into the northeast all right above Jack sonville but then suddenly turned to the west and went on shore near Charleston, s. c. Travelling over land it lost it's pep, became just tropical storm" and moved north to give us nothing worse than a rainy, windy Saturday. Again, the Army-Navy Weather Bureau services kept we'll ahead of the storm in predicting it's path although it definitely was one for the books.
 INNOVATERS: An energetic group from the station plus a few carefully selected guests spent last Wednesday night down at the gym perfecting a new game they have invented. Those in the fray in cluded It's. Novello, Curtis, and Murphy, and MhSgt. Lutz, Sgt Wilson, Sgt. Graham, Cpl. Cronan, SISgt. Shields and Cpl. Livecchi of AACS, and Pvt. Valoff of Hq. Startled eye-witnesses report that the new game combines certain principles of basketball, football, and wrestling with a few lacrosse angles thrown in, although 30 far the use of sticks is prohibited.
 INSPIRATION: Some of the boys have got an idea for wealth CT squadron slogan from the news paper published in the hometown of one of the WX WACs. This modest Alabama journal proclaims that it covers it's territory "like the morning dew"
 NEWCOMERS: We're always losing men but recently we got two new ones for a change. Sgt. Ed ward F. Graham in his Army car eer has moved about the country quite a bit, serving at Miami Beach, Shepperd Field in Texas, Hill Field in Utah, and Davis Monthan Field in Arizona. He came to us from VETS (Weather Equip ment Technicians School) in Spring Lake, N. J. A native of Framing ham, Mass, Ed was graduated from Holy Cross with a BS in econims just before entering the Army in 1943. At college he played second base on the third team which makes him pretty fair sackman because, if you don't know it, HC turns about some of the highest powered ball clubs in the East. Enthusias- tic about all outdoor sports, Ed even looks forward to the New England winter because skiing and skating are high on his list. Aft CT tour of weather duty that in cluded Maxwell Field, Chanute Field, Turner Field in Georgia, Mitchell Field, Jamaica (B.W.I.), Homestead Field, and Camaguey in Cuba, Pvt. James B. Daily dropped in on us not long ago. A prom inent member of the T-2O5 Liter ary and Political Club, Jim seems to like it here pretty we'll although the Tropics did have a few things we haven't. A native of Maine whose hardihood is evidenced by the fact that he has been a life long Democrat, Jim worked for a textile mill before becoming an it- inerant weatherman.
