Credit for the discovery
goes to the Imperial Col
lege of Science in Great
Britain where scientists, ex-
perimenting under a special
grant from the British Min
istry of Agriculture, are
now working out a method
for growing sunflowers on
a commercial basis.
Already three varieties
of the plant 49, resistant to
wind and frost-have been
developed which the eX-
perts say will readily grow
in the Midlands and South
ern England. Large scale
planting. however, will not
be started until after the
end of the war.

Greetings again! Quite a bit of ex-
cltement in and around Headquarters
these last few weeks Promotions have
been flying among both Office and
enlisted men, First of all, our YuppIy
officer, 1t. Clifford NJ Moeller. has
been promoted to captain. Next in
line came WOJG Philip G. Pitts, the
Special Service Officer. with pro-
motion to chief warrant officer, much
to the delight of Sgt. Freeman who
jubilantly removed the old bars and
replaced them with the new ones.
Among the enlisted men. my most
worthy assistant, Pvt. H. WardeH
Kelly, is again wearing three and a
It. And Herbert Fowler, who has.
the record for being a private the
longest-has at last made Pfc. Last,
but not least, yours truly got that
deuce back. So we are one big happy
family once again.
S/Sgt. Van "sad Sack" Williams
has returned from school, via fif-.
teen-daN delay in Chicago Believe it
or not he actually had a whole pack
age of cigarettes with him. 1t was
disclosed later that they were a con-
tribution of a USO canteen along the
way.
T/Set. Sykes blew in also with tales
of Rumboogie, De Lisa, Persian Bar,
and, of course, Ann.
Incidentally, our friend from Post
Headquarters is on furlough, so
hear. Perhaps that explains why
Little Caesar has been sticking,
close to the barracks here lately.
Kelly had quite an argument with
the sergeant ma ior the other morning.
They seemed to differ on the point
that a three day pass to Naco could
be spent in bed if so desired. l think
Kelly won because he assumed the
prone position and was found that
way some time later.
Speaking Of arguments, it seems as
though some of the men in the de-
tachment had such a hard time before
the war in civil life that they plan to
re-enlist after the "Du." Every daX
in the mess hall discussions to that
effect are carried out Can it be that

29th S. S. Co. Orientatiori
Review

\ group from the 10Th SPECIAL Serv-
ice Company recently visited the Post
Orientation Room, where they We're
met by the Post Orientation Officer,
who gave the group a brief eXplana-
ton of each of the panel displays The
visit proved most Informative to the
members of the company, who showed
keen interest in the displays.
Although not yet completed, the
Orientation Section of our Recreation
Hail. with it's world maps and war
news bulletins, has been the liVeliest,
most visited, and most discussed cor
ner of the room since Invasion Day.
The interest for an enlarged oriental
ton section is high. Many suggestions
have been Offered and much addition
al orientation material has been con-
tributed by the members of the COM
pany.
1t. William p. Moore, who has been
temporarily assigned to the Company,
is recent graduate of the School for
Special and Morale Services at Lex
ington, Va. 1t. Moore lectured on
why We Fight during our weekly
orientation hour. An ff-duty discus
sion period was held that evening for
those who desired to express them
selves on the subject and to answer
the many questions which the regular
hour would not permit.

WAC Orientation

An enthusiastic WAC class and a
number of soldier visitors listened last
Friday to one of the most interesting
of the orientation classes yet held in
the WAC area. On the subject of
''Why We Fight" Introductory re-
marks We're made by Orientation
Council member Olive Dedeaux, fol-
lowed by statements from WACs of
each barracks on why she fights. All
We're excellent but participants and
the entire class paid enthusiastic hon.
age to WAC Grace Simpson, who
capped the climax on her clear, point
ed and stirring remarks on the sub
iect.
Following these Council member
Villa Hardgrow summarized the
weeks news. with particular attention
to D-Day: after which WAC DedeauX
reminded us of the need for further
support of the invasion by support of
the Fifth War Loan Drive. WAC Bet
ty Joy. who led the way by purchase
of the first bond in this drive at Fort
Huachuca. was introduced and got her
share of cheers.
WAC Dedeaux then changed the
subject from wars of the present to
the better times which are ahead by

WACs to the War Room, where they

safely be said that each one of them

Under the direction of 1t. Clarence

tachment, each of our thirty-one al

head of country (2) type of govern
ment Uepublic, dominion, monarchy
democracy. etc., CD geographical To-
cation, (4) whether country has
armed forces fighting the axis under
its own flag or under the flag of some
other allied nation 60 whether the
government is in power or exile, and

with the military masters of Japan

of the present conflict. We learned
that the leaders have instiiled within
the minds of their people that there
is no crater sacrifice than that of Civ

Several questions arose resulting in
a pro and con discussion and the en-

Reconditioning Section

The regular Friday Orientation pc
riod recently consisted of a brisk news
summary of the weeks events of the
war and the presentation of new
orientation film. The nature of the
news events caused emphasis to be
placed on invasion preparations, AL
lied advances in Italy and activities
of the 5th Air Force in the Southwest
Pacific.
The new film "Air Blitz," cap
tured German film with an added
English commentary was shown so
that members of the Reconditioning
program might acquire "A further
knowledge of the German enemy and
why we fight this enemy.
Co-incident with the arrival of a
large sample library of the United
States Armed Forces Institute stand
ard and self-teaching courses, public
ity was given the institute in all of
the wards in which patients first start

25 queries were received and many of
these have led to decisions to enroll in
