FINANCE FLASHES
By S/SGT. JACK S. EATEN

T/Sgt. Russell says that he plans to go with the FBI after the war. | It seems that he wants to replace his wife for active duty on the home front. Maybe he has aspira- tions of a little vine covered cot tage with little Russells running around the front yard. Incidentally, he looks very sharp in his blouse with all his service ribbops and overseas stripes. It was noted the other day that he rated a broad smile from the girls in passing vehicles while those of us walking with him just remained in the shadows.
 Donald Jenkins requests anyone , with a surplus supply of Spam to please contact him as he will take all he can get. It came in very handy to him while in Italy and he wants to prepare for any emer- gency that might arise.
 Jim Kiely just returned from furlough and says that he is glad to be home once again. Just think, he won't have all those dishes to wash every night now. Also it won't be necessary for us to mail his wife copy of the Beam, as he is very faithful in taking home copy each week.
 We all welcome It. WeRs who has recently begun his tour of duty in the Finance Office.
 Mike Purdis was seen lately mending chevrons on his shirt. We wonder if his wife knows of this. Perhaps he doesn't want to bother his wife. with this minor detail so that they will have more time for the movies, etc.
 Bob Rohrbaugh has gone into the radio repair business. Anyone wish ing to have radios repaired may contact him at the Base Finance Office. Of course, he demands the cash in advance. He's a shrewd business man.
 Moon Eye" Gayeski seems to be very busy here of late, especial ly when Flanigan has a problem for him. In the absence of Price Barnes, Elan says that he finds very little condolence from Gayeski. Gene Rosenfeld had a quick trip overseas (mentally) last week but is now once again on duty in the War Bond Section. He sighed breath of relief as he confirmed his MOS number, made a copy of it and put it in his pocket for future reference.

M/Sgt. McAllister Is enjoying a we'll earned furlough away from the inconsistencies and vaguaries of weather. We miss him but we are quite sure he does not miss us. Hence, your poor befuddled Wx Wac will struggle thru this col- umn.
 Cpl. Altman-Halt seems to be in a quandary since her recent mar riage. Between reading her instru- ments wrong, attempting balloon runs in the rain, and hiding the stop clock under the steps of the hydrogen shed, poor Ellie is really "in a state". The only apparent solution Is a transfer bringing him back to her or vice versa.
 Sgt. Ed Graham, a former Brad ley weatherman, came back from Bedford, Mass. Must be the beau tiful Weather Wacs that draw these men back . or could it pos sibly be the proximity of Hartford and a sense of social obligation which moves them to pay us call
 All the weathermen and women hope you enjoyed the preview of summer last Tuesday with the tenn perature hitting 85'. No fees are required, or accepted, for the privilege of thus noting one of natures rare instances, followed closely by the deluge. But don't say we didn't warn you. M/Sgt. McAllister is our biggest cloud pusher in the Station so this soft spring rain can be accounted for by his absence. We hear via the grapevine that the Pilots are very happy about the whole deal. Rumors have reached us of strange noises emenating from Barracks T202 in the wee hours of the morning. These are said to be due to the efforts of a group of Weath- CT and Communications men to pro duce so-called music. However, the epercussions from the rest of the barracks will soon put an end to this unearthly practice. Have pa tience, fellows, they'll soon be graduated into the band or be eliminated from earthly travail.
 S/Sgt. David Shields, one of the AACS men, has left us for Syra- cuse. Dave was an "old Army" man who had seen more than his share of the last war. His new assign mnet places him just 50 miles from his home, much to. his surprise and qualification. Sgt. Ray Backus now needs a new roommate whom he can bully into doing his details. Personally we'd rather have had Dave stay and make Ray carry out his own work.
 Tuesdays weather had a strange effect on the Pilots as we'll as AACS Cpl. LeVecchi, control tower operator. It left him a nervous wreck. At mess he was unable to control himself to the extent of losing his knife and fork in his chow, really messing it up.
 If you've seen one weatherman in the library constantly and walk ing about in a daze, the poor man is just another potential forecaster boning up for a forecasters exam.

Congrats to S/Sgt. Edwyn Paris for his snappy new column our Rowing Reporter" We'll be looking forward to seeing Carson's scintil- lations refurbished and served up en casserole agaign and agaign. We also predict that the rowing scribe will indite some real inside doings on men of affairs and such.
 .S/Sgt. Al Miseray still preserves that distinguished air of detach- ment and savoir faire. How Al can maintain the even tenor of his ways while skilfully maneuvering round a bevy of bugs" is one of the minor mysteries. When the in quiring reporter asked to be en- frightened, Sgt. Miseray smiled quizzically and remarked on the blandness of the night. Maybe Adolf has been coaching him on the "q.t." Kenny's heart may be in Long Island but he still has memories.
 Delving further into the chro- nology of characters, Cpl. Roy Johnson, a hearty lad from Hardy, Arkansas, likes to kick that gong around, CT boots and all. Hope he doesn't stub his toe, thass all.
 S/Sgt. Arthur Keller is the per sonifcation of a travelling sales man. Arts motto: "Give me an inch and I'll put my foot in the doorway" Just a diamond in the rough. Will that certain party smooth him off and polish him down to size?
