HARLEY Tall DRUG CO. First address to all men in his command 'Be proud of mud on uniform' We're at war, men, and let's never forget it!" The commandant asserted that he was not interested in building "beautiful base here." A Job to Do. "We've got a job to do," he said, "and that comes first.

The men who train here must expect to go out and win this war. "We are here to fight for the existence of this country," Colonel Duncan continued. If any man in this command doesn't have A love for his country now, he'd better go out and get it or he'll be in serious trouble. "If any member of this command is not a loyal citizen, he'd better get on his knees and start praying and start going someplace. "The man or officer who gets drunk likewise has no place in this command.

And the same is true of the man or officer who has no ability. We. want none of him. "I want you to point the finger of scorn at any man who flubs out deliberately in his work or course of training and I want to say at the same time that any man who flunks out, but has put his whole heart and energies in trying to do his job right will have our commendation, "I you to know that your officers will- back you up. Make your own conditions as good as possible.

Keep strong physically, try to improve yourselves mentally and remember above all that we are fighting 8 common foe!" Officers Introduced. Preceding Colonel Duncan's address, various officers of the post were introduced to the men by Capt. E. G. Schieal, special services officer, and master of ceremonies.

Among them were Col. -Wiley D. Ganey, executive officer; Lieut. Col. Arnold T.

Johnson, director of training; Lieut. Col. William C. Bausch, S-2 officer; Lieut. Col.

Oscar B. Yorker, assistant executive officer and flight commander; Maj. Carl N. Olson, post exchange officer; Maj. Robert C.

Hubbard, mess officer (whose designation as "a Mother Hubbard whose cupboard is never bare" brought loudest cheers of the night); Maj. Donald T. Carney, S-1 officer; Maj. A. N.

Schantz, 8-4 officer; Maj. Arthur L. Inman, quartermaster; Maj. DuPont G. Kinney, signal officer, Rafters Rattled.

Then, after the Buriington band under Conductor John Schildneck's direction had played the national anthem, Capt. Ralph Wilkerson led group singing which literally rattled the rafters. Among the numbers were the "Marine fighting song which any man in uniform, regardless of branch of service should be proud to sing;" the "Air Corps song" and "God Bless America." Joy McGrail, in a feature act, sang her way straight into at least 2,000 hearts (exact figure would be a military secret) with "The Shrine of St. Cecilia," and was called back for three encores. Another feature was the baton twirling of nimble Bob Roberts, a private from Detroit.

Regular Feature. After the ceremonies were officially over the Burlington band stayed on to play soldier favorites and Miss McGrail sang and sang. The Burlington band, incidentally, will probably have regular Thursday night appearance at the post because of their reception. A small point, but one which speaks volumes for the character of the officers in command at the air base, was the fact that altho chairs were placed on the rostrum all officers stood, just as the men had to, thruout the program. Men of the Lincoln air base met their commanding officer Thursday night.

It was Col. Early W. Duncan's first official appearance before the men in his command and they gave his brief but forceful address a tumultuous ovation. Shoulder to shoulder the men and officers packed the new sports arena tight, and their spirit was something to stir the hearts of soldier and civilian alike. "I want you to know," Colonel Duncan told the gathering, that the criteria of a good soldier are leadership and discipline.

"I want no complaint of soldiers in this command who have to go out and walk in dust or in the mud, Clean up that uniform at night. Be proud of the mud on it. Soldier's humor named 'pup' tents during Civil war TULLAHOMA, Tenn. (P). A Union soldier in the Civil war thought the little two man tents used on march looked like dog kennels, his facetiousness started whole camp barking--and the name "pup tent" was born.

Click Owens, of Tullahoma, recently discovered a collection of articles written by Union and Confederate veterans. One of the articles, by Rev. R. B. Stewart, tells how "one day there was issued to each one about two yards square of heavy cotton, with buttons and buttonholes.

"We paired pitched our squares. When all seemed to be settling down, one fellow stuck his head out and began to bark. The idea was contagious and in a few minutes the camp sounded like a vast dog convention. "The tents henceforth were christened 'dog which little while degenerated into 'pup Atwill pleads innocent LOS ANGELES. (P).

Actor Lionel Atwill pleaded innocent Thursday to a grand -jury indictment charging perjury. Pheasants aren't responsible for all corn damage Paul Gilbert, secretary of the state game commission, said Thursday that the old controversy, whether pheasants are responsible for corn damage, has flared again. saia the birds are probably doing some damage in well populated pheasant areas, but in many cases are blamed for damage done by crows, ground squirrels, packet gophers, cut worms, army worms, wire worms and jack rabbits. Weather conditions have greatly increased the length of the immature stages of the corn plant during which it is most vulnerable to attack. He added: "This problem of corn damage by pheasants should not be controversial issue between the department and the average farmer but rather should be a problem to be attacked by co-operative effort and unified understanding.

It the pheasant is doing continued damage in any given locality it is the desire of this department to actively c6-operate in preventing this damage as much as possible. At the present time active experimentation is under way to determine means of preventing such damage. A full report of the results of this work will be given to the farmers of the state as soon as it is completed. In extreme cases a permit is available upon application to this department, permitting the destruction of pheasants in specified areas. Such pheasants killed cannot be used for food purposes under penalty of arrest.

Individuals destroying pheasants without possession of such a permit are also subject to arrest and fine. To date no applications have been received for such permits." -10 Statistics FIRE ALARMS. Thursday, 6:38 p. 3690 St. Paul.

Candidates have 8 days to accept. Concert closes third summer music course More than 700 persons Thursday night attended the last concert of a series of three at the Student Union by members of the all-state high school summer music course. The course, whose members represent four midwestern states, is sponsored by the University of Nebraska school of fine arts. Thursday's concert, given by the band, chorus and orchestra, concludes the third year for the course. Direction of the band was in charge of Walter Olsen, guest director from Fremont, while the chorus was under Lytton Davis, guest director from Omaha and the orchestra under Emanuel Wishnow.

David Foltz, general supervisor of the course, was also guest conductor of a group of 22 selected singers. "Fugue in Major" by BachCailliet, an orchestra number, "Good News." by Smith, and sung by a selected group of 22 persons, and by Franz, voiced by the chorus, seemingly were well received by the audience. Grand finale was "Ode to America," by Cain. It was presented by the chorus and band under the direction of Olsen. A dinner WAS held at the Student Union preceding the concert.

Among those who spoke were Dr. R. D. Moritz, dean of the summer course, and Dr. A.

E. Westbrook, director of the school of fine arts. Ted Brunson, Louisville; Gerry McKinsey, Stanton, and Ava Bromwich, Cheyenne, all, members of the course, also spoke briefly. Fruitarian held in Omaha jail is afraid of diet OMAHA. (P).

Dr. Bghat Singh Thind, the Hollywood religious teacher, is going to eat Douglas county jail food if it kills him. And, he said Thursday, it probably will. Dr. Thind, sentenced to 90 days in jail Wednesday on charge of failing to register As a minister of a spiritual church, is a fruitarian.

To him an average menu is: Breakfast, Juice and water; vegetable lemonch, greens, dairy products, an occasional piece of whole wheat toast and rarely some meat; dinner, fruit. To date he has been served in jail two bologna sandwiches coffee for dinner, mush and four slices of bread for fast. He spooned down a little of the mush. "I won't embarrass the authorities refusing to eat," he said. "They're only following orders.

If they want to kill me, why don't they do it instead of undermining my physical well being." CHUNGKING. (Friday). As the Flying Tigers of the American volunteer group prepare to join wings with the regular American army air forces in China Saturday, official review of seven months of AVG operations disclosed Thursday that 284 Japanese planes were destroyed at a cost of only 15 men killed or missing in action. Besides this list of confirmed victories, the review said there were "almost as many more probables" which were not claimed because of lack of eye-witness verification, Nine AVG pilots were killed accidentally, making a total loss of 24 out of 250 making up this group. This record of few against many is one of the most spectacular in aerial history.

'Tigers' lost 15 men destroying 284 Japanese planes woman wants flag redesigned NASHVILLE, Tenn. (P). Miss Dolly Breitenbaugh of Lee's Summitt, wants the U. S. flag redesigned to incorporate in it Betsy Ross' original idea.

Miss Breitenbaugh, chairman of the correct use flag committee of the D. A. outlined her plan after talking to members of congress about it. Instead of arranging the stars of the flag in six rows of eight each, Miss Breitenbaugh would preserve the original circle of 13, around which would be scattered the stars of the newer states in constellations.
