problem of overloaded lines due to
the tremendous volume of war calls,
but on the Christmas and New Year
holidays the situation becomes more
critical because the holiday long dis
tance traffic follows an unusual
pattern" said Mr.. Wallace.
"Much of it is to and from re-
mote points off the beaten path,
which have ample facilities for their
small normal telephone traffic, but
not near enough for the abnormal
holiday load. This is particularly
true of the locations at or near
military camps
Preparing for the huge holiday
job, the telephone company is mus
tering every available long distance
operator so that every switchboard
and routing position will be filled.

HEAD OF "L|LYWh|TE"
REPUBLICANS IN GA. dies

ATLANTA, Dec. % (ANP)-|
Death has written finis to the race
batting career of Clint Wood Hagar,
former United States district at
torney, who staged bitter, but un-
successful fight to eliminate Ne
groesfrom the Republican party in
Georgia.
A native Of Bristol, Tenn, and
graduate of the Harvard Law
school, Hagar was appointed dis
trict attorney for the northern dis
trict of Georgia by President Hard
ing in 1921 and was subsequently
reappointed by Presidents Coolidge
and Hoover, serving until Jan. 15,
1884.
While serving as chairman of the
state central committee of the Re-
publican party, he began his long
battle to shear Ben j. Davis, noted
Negro Republican leader, of his po-
litical power in Georgia. The fight
continued until June, 1914, when
Davis faction was seated at the
National Republican convention at
Chicago.
He.had served as defense counsel
for virtually every civil rights case
involving police brutality toward
Negroes tried in the federal courts
in Georgia in recent years.

G NOncitizens
 Have Opportunity For Naturalization

A War Department Circular of 21 September 1914 established policy of expediting by all practi- cable means the naturalization of noncitizen members of the Army of the United States. In order to be eligible for naturalization non citizen serving in the Army must have been lawfully admitted into continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands or any outlying posses sion of the United States and, at the date of entrance into the serv- ice, must have been resident there in.
 It is the desire of the War De partment that all noncitizens who are members of the armed serv- ices be informed of this opportun- ity of applying for application for citizenship. Information regarding application may be obtained from It. Fischer, Base Naturalization Officer.

Interested .In Learning?

Plans are under way to be- gin classes in shorthand and typing for GIs interested in these subjects. The classes will be held during the eve ming at scheduled periods. However, the success of those classes depend entirely on the number of soldiers and Wacs who may be interested.
 All those who would like to attend such classes are re- quested to send their name, rank, serial number and or ganizatiOn (section) to the Base Special Service Office. If enough GIs signify their de- sire to participate in the course, further information as to the dates and times of class es will be forwarded those in terested. SEE AID on page six.

WAC Mother-Daushter Combination Assigned to Station Hospital

It can happen here and it finally has. Something this Base has been expecting since April 1943 has come to pass at last. During the week WAC mother-daughter combination arrived and now Pvt. Florence w. French, the mother, and Pvt. Thelma H. Fredericks, the daughter, are assigned to the Station Hospital.
 The chain of events began dur ing. the heat spell this past July. Both women thought they'd like to "get into the scrap" somehow and Pvt. Fredericks suggested the WAVES. She had an excellent req son for this choice as hubby S/1c James l.. Fredericks has been in the South Pacific with the SeaBees for over a year. Mother, however, thought that the WAC would be ideal because it offered both a chance to continue their hospital work. On July twenty-sixth they enlisted at Bridgeport and, after basic training, arrived at Bradley last Sunday morning.
 Pvt. French, who is 49, has been doing practical nursing for the past fifteen years. She attended i'll nurses at the Rocky Hill Veterans Hospital, assisted in ward work in the Danbury Hospital, and prior to joining the WAC, was in charge of the ffty-two-patient infrmary at the Southbury Training School.
 Pvt. Fredericks is twenty years old and worked at the Danbury Hospital with her mother for over year. For the past two years she has been doing war work, but vel comed the chance to become more active member on the United States war team.
 Pvt. French has two sons in ad- dition to her Wac daughter. Rob- ert c. French is a Sergeant in the CAP unit operated in Danbury and Chester LeRoy, her youngest, is still a student at the Hat City's high school.
 When the world is once more at peace, "Ma" French plans to con- tinue her practical nursing while daughter, Thelma, will welcome the chance once again to become good housewife and eventually a mother in her own right.

The other day we had occasion to visit the Base Dental Clinic lon orders) for a survey. While mark ing time for a few minutes before getting our once over we moseyed about the waiting room until, spy ing a copy of the National Geo. graphic" one of our favorite ma- gazines. Having whiled away time in doctors waiting rooms before, we were not surprised to find that it was 1941 edition.
 Quick, like a KIP. leaving the mess hall, we began to wonder just why waiting room magazines are always so outdated and twice as quickly we discovered the answer. Mainly because no one but the ori- ginal visitors really provided read ing material to these sweating out" chambers. AS we were read ing about the wonders of Japan as advertised by the Japanese Tourist Bureau we couldn't help but con jure up a vision of the 1941 victim of tooth decay who carried the then current issue into the waiting room, unmindful of things to come.
 As a result of all this thinking

Sub-Depot Supply Burns in Mock Blaze Marking Fire Prevention Week

The Bradley Field Sub-Depot Supply building burned amid plen- ty of smoke last Monday after noon. Fortunately it was only simulated fire used to demonstrate the work of the Base Fire Depart nent as feature of National Fire Prevention Week.
 The fire began at 1245 and was announced by the loud wailing of the siren atop Base Firehouse Fl. Within one minute and fifty-two seconds after the alarm was sound cd the Fire Department had water pouring onto the building that was wrapped in heavy smoke from con- veniently located smoke pots, cour- tesy of Base Chemical. A few min utes later twelve hoses poured 200O gallons of water per minute into the air and the veritable Mia gara came cascading back onto the street off the Supply building roof.
 Demonstration Explained
 Four engines and a number of other pieces of equipment plus ap- proximately thirty-five firemen, participated in the mock blaze. Throughout the demonstration Major B. c. Robinson, Post Engi- neer, who also serves as Fire Mar shall, gave a running account of the action going on via public address system. As part of the show a man was rescued from the smoke-filled boiler room of the
