Slide Beuts Snow
As Ski Problem
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
= CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-The first
worry by Norge Ski Club officials
was whether there would be suffi-
cient snow in Wrigiey Field to
stage their proposed tournaments
late this month. t~.
Now they have another, and
bigger, problem. They are having
difficulty in obtaining lumber to
be used in constructing the slide
because Of priorities. And there
isn't much snow in the Cubs
baseball park, either.

Who gets there first when the gong's

Who softens them up if they think

And settles the Generals fears?
Who gets the dope behind enemy
lines?

Who works like hell when the need

Been doing it for years?
Who paves the way when the rest

Who builds the reVetments and spans

Stays the docks and piers?
Who makes it easy for the rest of

. 406th Ordnance
News

Since this is 4o6th's last article in
The Apache Sentinel, ! think it will
be a good idea to think back over
the past for few moments.
From the time was transferred
to the 406th on maneuvers until the
present, l have had an opportunity
to witness quite few events in the
company. While on naneuvers, S/Sgt.
Richard Massey was reporter for the
organization and he did very good
job of sending the Sentinel the latest
news from louisiana
Yes, we had a good time in Louisi-
ana, even if there were snakes, docs.
hogs, cows and mud. There was the
time that T/5 Kermit Butcher put
on an exhibition track meet. Then
there were nights that the problem
was tactical and the inspection team,
under the leadership of T/Sgt. Russell
French, got captured. still shudder
from the experiences we had when
we changed bivouac areas. Dc YOU
recall the night we moved into the
swampy area where there were plenty
of snakes, and how one of the fellows
just escaped being bitten by snake?
Now let us move to Fort Huachuca.
and reminisce. When the company
returned from maneuvers we had to
do lot of cleaning up, but by then
we were used to that We soon got
down to work and started to repair
the 92nd Divisions damaged equip
ment so as to make it serviceable.
The company worked long hours,
often into the night, to keep up the
excellent" rating they received on
maneuVers. We worked, but along
with our work we played. The boys
got baseball team together to pass
away the time profitabIy. The basket
ball team wasn't so bad, either, but
we won't get chance to show off
cut here at Fort Huachuca.
We also have some talent that was
discovered since we came back from
Louisiana. We found out that Pvt.
Defoit Moore could write poetry.
1t was pleasant surprise to dis
cover that we had a quartet that
could really sing spirituas. We we're
we'll represented in the Soldiers coun-
Gil at the USO, the 4o6th having
more representatives than any ether
company.
l think by now that anyone would
THINK that the 4Ubth ordnance NM
Company is most outstanding COM
pany. Well, l don't say that our COM
pany is the best, but I'll say that the
406th, the only colored Medium Main
tenance company in the T. s., has as
good mechanics as any ordance out
fit in the country.
Well the boys won't be impatient
to get The Apache Sentinel next week,
but they probably will ask me where
the Sentinel is. Sl won't be able to
hear 1t. Vincent Pempeit, the CO.,
commend Mrs. Gorham and the staff
for its good work. The follows won't
be able to rib the "guy" that was
written up, but they will have pleas
ant memories of the previous edi-
tions, cut of which everyone got
laugh. And now that S/Sgt. Mossey
is leaving, | won't have an adviser
to help me with the news (but there
is no news).
And now, as all good things must
come to an end, The Apache Sentinel
must leave the folds of Fort Hua-
chuca In leaving, the 406th bids you
Godspeed and may your enlightening
riches of literature live in our men,
ories for years to come.

Med. Detachment
Is Understoffed But
Performs Job Well

The success of the Medical De-
tachment, ASF Regional Hospital,
can almost wholly be attributed to
the competent leadership of one
man, Captain Ora E. Saunders,
whose leadership has imbued the
personnel of the detachment with
such great loyalty that it has been
able to carry on with it's work al
though over so per cent under
stated.

Award of decorations to other
than human beings is prohibited,
says the War Department, but out
standing services of animals or birds
may be recognized through citation
in unit general orders.
The Apache sentinel., 1944-09-15

In the last four months, the per-
Sonnel of the detachment has been
reduced from 700 to approximately
800, with 80 per cent of those re-
naming catalouged as unfit for
general service" 1t has been neces-
sary for Captain Saunders to jug
gle the available help about in or
der to achieve the almost impossible
job of supplying the different de-
partments with help. This he was
able to do, and the efficient care
of patients and properties at the
Regional Hospital has continued de-
spite the reduction of personnel.
Civic Minded Group
In all War Bond Drives, the medi-
cal detachment has played it's part
patriotically. In no drive has the
detachment faltered and in the
last big attempt to put the detach-
ment over, the Fifth War Bond
Drive, it raised twice it's quota. 1t.
Chadman, able assistant detach-
ment commander, headed that
drive.
In their conduct on and off the
Post, members of this organization
have carried themselves admirably.
Communications are also due them
for the fine spirit of cooperation
they give Captain Saunders in car
rying out his policies to insure the
successful fullfilment of the pre-
gram of the detachment.
