'They're dangerous," said several pilots of medium bomber and pursuit planes at Camp Barkcley Thursday they clirated out ol medium tanks o( the llth Armored dlvUlon.

fpHB pilots were tliose wlio A brought three bombers and pursuit planes to Barkeley lor the air show and plane Wenliricadon program Thursday morning and afternoon. Between the two shows the pilots nsked for and were given rides In the mil's medium tanks. In fact, the pilots were allowed to drive the tanks over some rather rugged terrain within the camp. 4 ABb (Bobo) Bomieaux, the Trent, boy who was among the visiting airmen, was piloting the P- 47 Thunder Bolt. The young lieutenant announcing the show over a PA system told this one on Bonneaux.

According to his yarn, Bon- neaus went out football at Hardin-Simmons. Early in the season lie tackled "Rodeo" Parker one afternoon and (lie nest day came out for yell leader. EVERAL ofiicers of the llth Armored and one from the MliTC rode with tile airmen during the morning and afternoon shows. Eleventh Armored oltlcers who weni up included Col. Charles D.

Palmer, division chief of staff; Col. Oliver W. Greet, division surgeon; Lt. Col. Bruce N.

Balding, assistant division surgeon, and Majors William L. Lfpp, H. J. Olson and E. L.

Booch. Representing the METC was Lt. Col. Edward A. Zimmerman, operations and training officer.

I JiLEVEN may be a lucky number -'but It spells confusion at Barkeley, by the numbers, as they say In the army. This was recognized semi-officially in the Signal Corps weekly bulletin, "Plashes," published by the training film library in the form of an appeal to certain organizations to be meticulous in submitting requisitions. AUSE of all the confusion is: the llth regiment of the Medical Replacement Training Center; llth Headquarters, Special Troops, Third Armv, and the llth Armored division. Or put it this way: nth Medical Training Regiment; llth Headquarters and Headquarters detachment, Third Army, and Headquarters and Headquarters company, llth Armored division. Brrrl Why go on? EVERAL days hinted that some colonel at Camp Batkeley soon lould be riding a motorcycle around camp.

Monday that colonel, Victor W. B. Wales, who Friday takes over as camp commander, i abo ard one of those high-powered, two wheel contraptions and took off. An old cavalry officer (not too old), the colonel wanted a vehicle that would take him around camp economically and rapidly. Besides, the colonel likes to ride, preferably horses, but no horses he'll take a motorcycle.

reporter has been worrying J- no little about the scarcity of growth on the dome of one Sgt. H. (Hod) Dendurent, editor of the Camp Barkeley News. Asked to explain his baldness, the "sarge" came back with the old stock expression that "grass doesn't grow on a busy street." Phooey! Then he comes back with this one, "I got a GI haircut when I came into the army and it Just never has grown back." "fTOD" hails from Manhattan, ll where he was managing editor of the Manhattan Mercury- Chronicle before Uncle Sam decided he could use somebody from Manhattan. Of course Hod just another buck sergeant (bucking for staff) but there's one thing that can be said in his favor-- he has a most charming wife.

Besides, he got his picture in his own paper last week. Teh, Teh Teh! ic Records rtJBMO RECORDS I.V DISTRICT CKfRT s. Jvdcc FrnUlBR A. J. nMon for 81C and J.
