Ut. Joseph R. Hunt, USN, 1943 national mems singles tennis cham pion, was killed recently when his fighter plane crashed at sea off Daytona Beach, Fla, during rou- tine gunnery practice flight. Naval officials reported that Hunts F6F went into a spin from 10000 feet while he was making a run on a target pulled by another plane. He never came out of the spin.
 Joe Hunt won his first tennis. title at the age of 15 when he be- came National Boys Singles Cham pion. But he made his first head lines in 1887 when he trimmed Don Budge, the national champion, in a Warm-up match for the Davis Cup. He made the cup squad that year and the next. In 1889 he teamed with Jack Kramer on the cup doubles team which lost to Australia, and in 1943 won the national singles crown by defeat ing Kramer 6-3, 6-8, 10-8, 60.
 Hunt was superb volleyer. His ground strokes were not outstand- ing and his service never killed a man, but he brought to the game great physical equipment, great competitive drive and real love for tennis.
 His naval career began in 1888 when he entered the US. Naval Academy. He served after gradua- tion on destroyers in the Atlantic and Pacific before transferring to the naval air arm. He was com pleting his training when he was killed.

Valentines Day means hearts and flowers and cupids and such and therefore wedding bells. Bells rang out in Maine for Juanita Seavy and Charles Pelka, who were married at Juanita's home. She is employed at Base Air Force Sup ply, Signal Division, and Charlie is a Fire fighter here on the Base. Good Luck to you both.
 And then there is the subject of babies the latest addition to the list is daughter, named Patricia Ann, born on February 10th to Pvt. and Mrs. John E.. Taggert. Patricia's mother is the former Mary Weare who was em- ployed here on the Base for some time at both Ordnance and Trans portation & Maintenance Depart ments.
 It's pretty nice to know that 109 guys and gals had completed six months satisfactory service and were therefore eligible to receive the Emblem Award Service Ribbon given to Civilian Employees in the War Department who deserve this honor.
 Was Civilian Personnel Office ever surprised to see Mary O'Niel Rinaldi this week. She stopped in to say Hello" while home for a visit. She is living on Cape Cod where her husband is stationed.
 The seemingly endless chain of blizzards this winter has brought forth the brain, brawn and endur- ance of personnel hereabouts too numerous to mention in getting themselves in to work, which is no small problem in strategy. Carl Charrette, living in Northampton, Mass, braved last weeks record storm and landed safely at Bradley Field, passengers and all in one piece and only nine minutes late.

POW
 POu>WOev

As is the custom, the POW boys took over the WAC Dance Tues day night last; and if the Air Corps boys think they're making us mad, ha! Our indefatigable Pfc. Morose was of course the life of the party with Pfc. Bradford doubling on the hotfoot and the ocarina. You have all heard, haven't you, that Brother Bradford does dance now; haven't you? Course, he never can remember with whom he danced but what does that matter. Pvt. Tooker-the guy who's about to tooken unto himself one beautiful Wac, was on hand-in- n-hand in the corner. And "Letts Get Lost" Let's sure did. Where did you go anyway?
 An entymologist (bug-doctor, to you) has been put on the trail of Pvt. Frank Stahlinski to study his love life. He's been flying around like butterfly, eating like swarm of locusts, and ibuzzing everyone's ear about it to put hornet to shame. For shame! Wait till you see him next spring when it gives init de flowers and de fever.
 LOST: One wet raincoat in Tower W. Owner may have same by submitting proper proof of iden- tification and copy of his My Diary for the past week.
 The POW gang really went on a POWWOW the other night when they took to competing with the Rockettes. Such a show of legs, such rhythm, such beat. They're out looking for Bill Robinson to give them an addition now; but the fellows who sleep downstairs have already passed on them. If they'd taken one more pass at that, none of them would have a chance again.
 Ha! The night of the big blizzard Pfc. Sanzen, Pvt. Stahlinski, and Pvt. Gargoni spent 21a hours get ting down to the Base from out here in the West Gate area. They did every thing but carry the car, but they finally did make it. Which all goes to prove the indestructa- bility of matter, the indominable spirit of the American G-I, and the fact of the superiority of Gargoni's car. Being good guy, a complete ly unselfish comrade, and a good business man, he's now putting the car on the selling block for all buyers to see. The Offer: 1887 Plymouth, new tires, no gas, lots of godd will and experience. Price only $335.

 A distinguished roster of fright guys: Cpl. Eddie Kust, formerly a music maker from Chi way. Eds favorite diversion: playing the rake at lawn parties.
 TSgt. Arthur Steedley, from Waycross, Georgia, was timber man in civvies daze, but now his hunting is somewhat circumscribed. Arts chief ambition-to be taxi driver, so he can tell everybody where to get off.
 S/Sgt. Tommie Conroy pulled a neat bit of repartee thother night. As Donlan hands him chicken salad sandwich, Cornroy quips, "Never did so many sandwiches owe so much to so few chickens. ," (Wait till Winston hears of it).
 Pfc. Francis Clifford from Cotuit, Mass. (the home of the favorite oysters). Franny was a caretaker of a large estate on the Cape, which brings to mind that old ditty entailed, "Who Takes Care of the Caretaker's Daughter, While the Caretaker Is Taking His Care ?"

Dick makes model planes and Frances makes a model wife, and they make every body else jealous because they're so supernally happy together. Pfc.

Another one of Wills favorite quips, q wanted to be a hula dancer but my daddy hit the hay"

" OTktAs U
 Again an unassailable principle has been demonstrated anew: that neither rain, nor sleet, nor hail, nor storm can stay those USO de- voices from travelling down the Burma Road to arrive at those swinging doors that usher into a scene that would charm the heart of an Elizabethan poet: Impresario Donlan as Mine Host; demure junior hostesses listening in starry eyed silence to the tales of men of arms; women in uniform exchang- ing gay banter with their CT brothers; senior hosts and hostesses benignly surveying the animated scene-and, like a pungent incense, the soft pleading of a saxaphone and the imperious call of trumpet beguiling those who have drunk deep of the cup of youth and have found life good, and this night an esthetic achievement and an au- gury of better days to be. -
 Carl is looking down the long hall of memory, and the echoes and overtones evoke an eeriness and an elflike poignancy that had best be put away again into the Pandora's box that nostalgia elders take from recess to once again conjure up the strains of forgotten melodies, of the touch of a hand that is gone, and the sound of a voice that is still.
 But memorable Bob, the adamant Editor, is clamoring for news, for the "inside" on men and what they do or undo. Deadlines and hungry presses cannot wait on the musings of one who feeds on dreams.

In announcing its action, ODT
said it means the withdrawal of its

Blast Starts Fire
In Jap Naval School
By the Associated Press,


MANILA, Aug. 25.-The japanese
government reported to Gen. Mac
Arthur today that fire, starting from
an explosion, was sweeping the
naval engineering school at Kuri-
hama, 9 miles south of the Yoko-
suka naval base where Americans
will 60 ashore next Thursday.
The communication said efforts
were being made" to extinguish the
blaze. The fire started from a blast
occurring during the storing of
ammunition in connection with sur
render.
Gen. MacArthur's headquarters
noted that the Japanese have been
requested to report any untoward
incidents during preparations for
American occupation.
Japan also notified Gen. MacAr-
thur today that japanese planes on
legitimate business errands in con-
nection with surrender will be
painted white with green crosses.
In addition, Zero model transport
planes used by the navy will carry
red floats.
Gen. Macarthur had insisted on
distinctive markings; by inference,
any Japanese planes not so marked
would be subject to attack by the
powerful Allied air umbrella over
occupation landings.
