suits must be duplicated until the close of the drive on July thirty first if the goal is to be reached.
 In order to comply with the pol icy for individual purchases of Bonds during the next two months, each Officer is requested to sub scribe to an allotment of at least $18.75 per month. In addition, all Officers of the rank of Major or above should purchase an extra Bond of at least $50 and $25 Bond for Officers below that rank. Enlisted personnel should allot at least $6.25 per month to Bonds and members of the first three grades should purchase at least a $25 Bond. The civilian personnel of the Base, who made such an ex- cellent showing in the Fourth War Loan Drive can again cooperate by placing at least 10 per cent of their salary in payroll deduction pur- chases and buy a bond for cash whenever possible. If each Brad leyite does his share as outlined above, the Base will have little diff ficulty reaching it's quota and a rood chance of hitting the coal

YMCA CELEBRATES CENTENNIAL

Tuesday, 6 June 1914, was a day long to be remembered in the an- nals of YMCA history. It was a day of great importance for two reasons. First and foremost, it was D-Day and secondly, it was the one-hundredth anniversary of the beginning of the YMCA movement.
 The Hartford 'Y', which has been a true friend of all Bradley GIs, held banquet in honor of the cen- tennial. Chaplain Frederick E. Naples, Base Chaplain, delivered the invocation. Col. H. E. Johnson, Base Area Commander, was pre- sent and full table was reserved for enlisted men of this Base.
 MT. A. D. Barney, President of the YMCA of Hartford, acted as master of ceremonies and the guest speaker was Charming H. Tobias, Senior Secretary for Service to Colored Men and Boys, National Council YMCA.

ellie, approximately ly five hours aft CT the assault on Hitler's Europe had begun. A greater part of the men were inclined to discredit the report as another rumor; however, immediately after the troops were dismissed, the radios in the bar racks were completely surrounded by G.I.'s anxious to hear the off, cial news. Bunks were left unmade and chins went unshaved while G.I. Joes in various stages of dishabille bent anxious ears in the direction of the nearest radio and entered long discussions with their buddies on the turn of events. In the WAC area the scene was duplicated with more than on WAC foregoing her hair-brushing ritual for the ami mated accounts of the invasion as reported via the airwaves.
 Almost all departments at the Base managed to beg, borrow or steal a radio so that personnel could keep track of the Allied ad- vances. Whenever men gathered the conversation was of nothing but D-Day. The once-avoided sport of predicting when peace would come to Europe was resurrected, with amateur Nastradamus prog nastications ranging from six months to a few days. Bulletins from the Bases Combat Intelli- gence Department were relayed to Bradley Personnel via the Base Public Address System, with S/Sgt. Pete Luddy as Bradley newscaster. Whenever the piercing sound of the whistle that heralds an announcement over the PA system was heard, those within hearing distance paused to listen to the news, reminiscent of the silence that absorbs the Base during re- treat.
 The overall picture of the reac- tion of Bradley Field to the news of D-Day portrayed scene of typ ical Americans, anxious to hear of the progress of their fighting men. A picture of hope and trust that they, as soldiers, could put in their buddies who were fighting for their lives, that others might be free.

Major D. A. Peterson, New Base Adjutant,
 Toured West Indies :

Among the newest arrivals at Bradley Field to take up duties as a Staff Officer is Major David A. Peterson, Base Adjutant, who has arrived here after spending over twenty-six months in the West h. dies.
 Major Peterson was born in Methuen, Massachusetts, where he attended elementary school and Methuen High School. Following three years at this high school he left to attend Staunton Military Academy at Staunton, Virginia, graduating in 1882. Massachusetts State College at Amherst was the next stop on the Majors education al itinerary. He received his B. s. at this institute upon graduating Tn 1887 and also served as Cadet Col onel of the schools ROTC cavalry unit. He received his commission as Seoond Lieutenant in the Re- serve on IA June 1887. While att tending college the Major claims he learned much about a myriad of subjects by earning money work ing on the WPA, janitoring and shoveling snow, etc.
 Having completed his education, Major Peterson was employed by the Liberty Mutual Insurance Com pany of Boston as claim adjus- ter and remained with this com pany until 7 July 1941 when he was called to active service with the Air Force. He was assigned to New Orleans with the rank of First Lieutenant where he was subse- quently on duty as Base Intelli- gence Officer, Range Officer, As sistant Operations Officer and As sistant S-3.
 On 6 February 1942 the first task force to leave this country after Pearl Harbor left from New Or leans and Major Peterson was with them. For the next two years he was stationed at such West Indies Bases as Curacao, Maracaibo, St. Lucia and Trinidad, not counting side trips to Puerto Rico and Cuba and Panama. While based at St. Lucia, the Major was Executive Officer of his Air Base. Major Pet erson returned to the United Sta tes on 26 March 1914 at Miami Beach and after a three-week leave spent another three weeks at the AAF Redistribution Center at At lantic City from which he was as- signed to Bradley Field last month.
 The Major and his wife, Mrs. Pauline Peterson, with their four year-old son, David, IT,, reside at Somers, Connecticut. Following the War the Major expects to return to his former position in the In- surance business.

O'BANYOUN'S OBSERVATIONS

The God Of the Christian,
the Creator, created every ui-
innate atom in the entire Uni
verse, physical, mental and
spiritual, Few persons will take
issue with this statement as
far as the physical is con-
cerned; but few viii agree with
the statement as far as It
concerns the mental and spir-
itual. One of our SHORTCOMINGS
is the taking of credit which
belongs to God. II we can
realize, and II is a hard habit
to form, that we ourselves are
here only through the suffer-
ance of our Creator, then we
can be more sympathetic with
the attempts of others to ac-
ccmplish something for the
advancement of humanity to
their inevitable goal - univer-
sal brotherhood. In music and
the allied arts, constructive
criticism, pat on the back,
pays far better dividends than
the perpetual knock, the in
ability to see anything good in
any one else. If we pause to
think how far from perfection
we all are, how the best per-
formers and teachers have
hardly scratched the surface
of the possibilities, then we
will be able to cooperate more
with our brothers and sisters
who are still struggling to get
somewhere. So, instead Of feel
ing SNUG because Of some
temporary triumph, remember
that we should keep in tune
with the Infinite to the end
that we really grow while
passing through this life. And,
give the adverse criticism in
private, with a will to help
those who may not be gifted
with talent and opportunity
equal to your own. Think II
over.
