THE CHAPLAIN Writes.
Joe Gets Woozy As Jim Gets Susie
Dear Gertrud:
Chaplain Wm. J. Van Cleve

Dear Gertrud:
 It sure was good to see you again when you came down to be the Maid of Honor for Susie last Saturday. l suppose that you are safely back home by now even if i haven't heard from you since you left here.
 The birds sure had a feast after the wedding. The chaplain says that the Chapel's pet Robin family, which was born and raised prac- tically on the front porch of the Chapel, almost run the last of every bridal party off the premises so they can start Cling the place of rice.
 Last Friday night when Jim came in to the barracks several of the boys started whistling Here Comes the Bride" For a minute it looked like they was going to be trouble. Jim made a run at the guys and they scattered. I suppose they were afraid that Jim might get a black eye or something if they started roughing it, and a groom with a black eye woodn't look so good.
 Susie sure looked swell in her wedding gown, better than ever

suspected she could look. You loked mighty good too. I guess that just goes to show what clothes can do for woman, I've got a feeling stuck my neck out on that one but i'm going to let it ride. any way. I'll bet you'll look even better than Susie, or just as good any way, someday when we get mar ried.
 You should have seen Jim in the chaplain's office just before the wedding He was so nervous was afraid he wood never make it to the altar but after he got started he was all right. Maybe he was just in a daze and didn't have his senses operating enough so he could be scared. Believe me 1 was plenty scared, especially until after got the rings across to the chap lain. I kept thinking what if i should get the wrong ring, or what if dropped one of them. Woodn't it have been graceful for the hole wedding party to have to get down on their hands and knees and look for a ring. Anyway, i'm glad that's over with and i hope we can get married in a chapel some day. -. ..:-
 We are still busy on redeploy- ment here. Quite number of the men coming through here come over to the evening mass that the catholics hold at six o'clock on sunday evening. Not many have been coming to the protestant ser vice, though, and the chaplain says that he is going to call the evening service off for the time being.
 Your nervous,
 Pfc. Joe.

TOMORROW'S NEW JOBS

All young men and women in the armed services are curious to learn what vacations are open to them, or will be when they are back home and ready to go to work. They know what scientists are develop ing new materials; geologists are discovering new supplies of met als; chemists are. evolving new ma terials; artists are creating new designs; engineers are developing marvellous efficiency gadgets. What results will this activity have on jobs !? Will it creat more jobs than before? Will it create new jobs markedly different from those now in existence In "Twenty Careers of Tomorrow" by Darrell and Francis Huff, they will find most of the answers. The book tells what and where the jobs will be, the training needed, and what financial returns can be expected. It is a stimulating, up-to-theminute ap- proach to postwar opportunities in twenty fields.

Major Samuel c. Grashio, sur vivor of the March of Death who escaped from the Davao Penal Colony after year of Jap impris- onment, has been assigned as the Redeployment Officer of the Ad- ministration and Services Section Has. FAF. Major Grashio was a member of the first P-40 group stationed at Nichols Field on Lu- zon, just prior to the Jap attack in the Pacific. On April 9, 1941, he and the other members of the group, commanded by It. Col. "Ed" Dyess, surrendered after the fall of Bataan. The following day the prisoners made the seven-day death march" to Pampanga, dis tance of 1855 miles and thence were taken to the horror camps of O'Donnell, Cabanatuan, and finally to Davao Penal Colony. Part of a group of 10 Americans and 2 Fiji pinos, Major Grashio made his es- cape through the Philippines to Australia on April, 1943.
 A survival aquatics course for instructors conducted under the supervision of the Physical Training Section, FAF Has, was started on July 2 to give the latest information and techniques on survival in water. Two enlist ed PIT instructors from each of the FAF bases are attending the course. Opening with correct methods of teaching beginners how to swim, the program will progress to specialized skills in- tended for advanced students. Because of the long missions conducted by Air Force person. mel over the Pacific, the survival aquatics course has become one of increasing importance. First priority in this course will be given to flying personnel.

 If anyone has been wondering why so much stress has been put on the importance of segregat- ing salvageable waste paper from cigarette butts and ice-cream containers, lend an ear. Accord ing to Capt. Bartley J. Costello, First Air Force Salvage Officer, 496 tons of cardboard and 691 tons of all other waste paper were salvaged at the FAF bases during the May quarter. This critical item alone, accumulated since March. when the First Air Force took over the salvage activities of it's own bases, was sold for $18,189.84. All salvageable material, such as tin cans, egg cases, cooked grease, wool and cotton textiles, scrap rubber and copper and brass, collected at the First Air Force bases, saved through sal wage during this quarterly period a total amount of $53,858.21.
