it down. He said, with exaggerated

OF course, our photo interpreters
decided it was just a Navy weather

Then here are the reports from
those two BIG crews flying night
missions in Korea. You remember
the planes were in widely sepa-
rated areas. and yet three members
of each crew reported seeing near
midnight a circular object that
flew along with them emitting blue
flames"
But, dammit, man, those OBJ
jects were described as being very
small! Their size was estimated
at
"You can't always judge size at
night in the air, the General said.
Anyway. if you concede the exist
ence of small ones, you may as
well grant the possibility of a big

"Inoticed," said Courtney drily,
that we didn't concede anything
in our statements to the press. We
said. in effect, that we saw them,

denly. What the hell else could

retary said. He bit his lips. Tell
me, Colonel Courtney, what time

The Secretary got up, walked
to the end of the room, stared at
the map for a moment. He turned
around slowly. Il think it's i'm
portant not to get too excited.
Excitement doesn't exactly help
clear thinking. For the moment
let's assume the impossible. Let's
assume there is some-some mech

General said. ''Six new jet fighters

vicemen, two large closets Tor the
use of the boys as personal lock
ers, living room. dining room and
large kitchen.
Dad is always willing and
anxious to sit down in his private
study and listen to the stories from
the hearts of the boys----Some sad
and some happy. After hearing
these stories, Dad" always takes

Both Nom and Dad have untold
experience in both private business
and Christian fellowship.
Servicemen of all faiths and
creeds, or those who have no creed,
are always Welcome. This center is
not a churchill is simply "a home
away from home" for the boys.
You fellows may be assured that
you win always receive a warm
greeting and win be most welcome.
The only requirement is that you
conduct yourself as gentlemen
while at the center.
In the game room at the center,
there are two typewriterS and two
desks for visitors to write letters
a library Of books that Dad has col.
lected through the years, a ping.

watch the games. There is also

A Day At Key Vests Servicemen's Center

| ton is mind: How is this home
away from home maintained? Pop
explains it simply by saying, 'In
the humble dependence of God. "
We found on investigation that in
an inconSpicuous place in the ves-
tibule there is a small donation box
and over the refrigerator there is
a sign "For Cokes".
In further discussion, Pop said,
II would like all servicemen to
visit the center. Everything is free.
We operate only on the basis that
the Lord will provide the means
so that we can continue to operate.
All donations are in your own pri-
vacy and absolutely free willed.
Stop by for a visit, fellows. We
want to meet you and feel sure that
you win enjoy yourselves"

BILE for servicemen to read. A ra-
dio and a blond finished spinnet
piano with a good supply of song
books is also to be had. You should
hear some of the boys play the
piano!
Now, we will come to the part
that appeals to all men, service or
civilian, the dining room and the
kitchen. The dining room has q
large table and everytime Nom
sets the table to eat. she puts a
''place" at every available space
and often sets up another table in
the living room so that the boys
who drop In are fed. And you can
bet your bottom dollar that Nom is
a cracking good cook and that there
is always enough for everyone.
The kitchen is electrically equip
ped and there is a large ice box
which is always full of cokes, home
made punch and iced tea. You can
always find cold cuts for making
snacks or sandwiches. No one is
ever court martialed for robhing
the ice box this your home
away from home.
At the center, the day begins at
600 a. m. when Nom, Pop and
Becky are up and about. Breakfast
is served at 700 am. and after
family devotions are held which in
clude Bible reading, Interpretation
. and prayer. Pop is excellent at ex-
planning passages of scripture as
well as several Of the servicemeE
who frequently visit the center.
Everyone is surprised at how i'm
maculate the center is kept. Nom
really knows the ropes. Lunch is
served at noon and supper at 500
p. m.
Between these times, you may
write letters, study. read play the
radio and piano. sing. make a re-
cord. play ping.pong or numerous
other games, talk TO your buddies
or have q heart to heart talk with
Pop in his study.
Almost everyone has this ques-
