School Bus
Inspection
Program

The Board of Education met in
regular session on Tuesday, October
10th. Those present we're Mr.. Reuben
Reynolds, president; Mr.. Harvey R..
Buck, ?president, and Mrs Wal
lace Williams.
The minutes of the regular meet
ing of September 18th were read and
approved, and sundry bills ordered
paid.
The following designations were
received and accepted with regret:

tant in the Elkton elementary school;

Calvert elementary school.
The Superintendent informed the
Board that he had had several in
quiries regarding the purchase of
the old Cecilton School and that in
his opinion it might be we'll to sell
this property After some discussion,
the Board decided to sell the above
property at public auction on Tues
day, November 14th.
In discussing the transportation
and bus problems in the county, it
was brought out that the Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles had desig
mated various garages in the county
as inspection station for school buses,
this having been done as a result of
an accident in Baltimore county and
the resulting information that many
school buses in the State had still not
been inspected In view of this hap
pening and the events resulting
therefrom, and in view of the impor-
lance of safe transportation, the Sup
erintendent proposed an inspection
program for the county whereby the
buses would be inspected four times
a year-the first such inspection be-
ing made before school opens in the
fall and each succeeding inspection
about every two months. The cost of
these inspections will be borne by the
Board of education. This was approx
ed by the Board.
The following appointments were
approved by the Board:
Mrs. Allie M. Sigmon, assistant in
the Rising Sun High School; Mrs.

Under the excellent supervision of Sgt. Thurston (Boss-Man) Nc Guigan, the open-air dance hall of the NCO Club was officially in- augurated Wednesday, 9 August 1914. Tent floors were put together with two by four beams as supports for the netting and snow fences as bordering. Strips of colored burlap were woven into the netting giving it an air of rustic field life. MT. Civilian" from the Post Engineers Office immediately put up two brand new fire extinguishers-nice of him. Strong backs and sweated brows with long, tiresome hours were put into the building of this meeting place beneath the stars"
 Many thanks are extended to the agencies that contributed materials to the Club and thus made this pos- sible. Thanks, too, to the corporals and right on up through the ranks to Warrant Officers for pitching in and offering a suggestion here and a hand there.
 The crowd Wednesday (dance night) was indicative of the popu- larity of the Club T/Sgt. and Mrs. Carl Harris and Miss Ray Flynn with S/Sgt. Boulanger had a table to themselves until WO Briars and S/Sgt. Peter Luddy started to horn in and before you know, Piccadilly Luddy had Miss Flynn cutting cap- CTS. M/Sgt.

The Sergeant doesn't do much dancing, but when he gets started. Cpl. Hazel Sims of Cas- sifcation was his feeting partner. T/Sgt. St. Mauro was there too period.

 The Fred Astaire of Section G, namely 1stSgt. Ginty, let the dance floor feel the leather with Pvt. Marvel (Bimmie) Wolf of the Base File Room as his partner. Seems as if cupid made his presence known for John G. wouldn't let Bimmie sit for minute. Guess Cpl. Husky knows Sgt. Ginty's love for music. And speaking of romances, have you noticed S/Sgt. Marty Klinger lately? Let's hear you sing it from the tree tops, Marty.
 
 Missed seeing the famous duo, M/Sgt. Heller and S/Sgt. Stork; and the famous trio, TISgts. Evans and S/Sgt. Klinger. Wonder where S/Sgt. F. Hill and M/Sgt. Jones are keeping themselves.
 Undiscovered talent:
 Our steward, Pfc. Silas T. Nc Field, played string bass for fifteen years with we'll known bands such as Louis Armstrong, Earl Hines and Fate Maryble. He would like nothing better than to get back in- to the groove. "Mac" worked the Straeckfes Steamship Boat Lines with Fate Maryble and Dewey Jackson's Orchestra from 1929 to 1881.
 Going to the Post Theatre? Why not meet your partner at the Club?
 Don't forget next Wednesday nights dance. These get togethers are of inestimable value to the esprit de corps and morale of the non-commissioned officers of this Base. Won't you join in too?
