cities by representatives of the Aeronautical Training Society Of sev 0) ALBERT DONALD MEYER AM Clam 4-48 St Libary Nebraska ters with our last 1945 paycheck or maybe it's a subtle form- of psychological punishment It all amounts to about the same thing as giving a child a piece of candy and then saying "but you can't eat it" Thanks for nothing We've always kidded people unmercifully in this column and now that the time has come to be serous we're at a loss to know how to go about it Yodis received bad news last week just at the time he should have been the happiest While awaiting separation from the Navy Yodis received word of his Father's death We don't know how to say it Yod but we are sorry DONATIONS FROM "MEL" My reputation as a forecaster of public information is holding up so well that I'm standing by my mail slot waiting for an offer from some of my "more successful" associaates I know I did predict that we'd get decent chow to eat some day And it isn't too late yet Nicknames in the Signal Phase is one of the most important issues of the day Since we are well noted for this infamous practice we'll give you the names of a few this week and the story behind each of them: In respect (or otherwise) to their rank rate or what have you they are: JOHN CLARENCE IIASS CSM USN for twenty one years better known as "Hammer Handle" "Dimples" "Field Day" and a few unmentionables The name "Hammer Handle" came from a little episode when he was trying to open a packing case with a hammer and the iron part flew thru a second story window to miss narrowly a somewhat stunned trainee The name "Dimples" speaks for itself And the "Field Day" stuck while he was in the process of supervising said topic With his bull horn voice he is a contender for the world's champicn Hog Callers contest or some other "profession" that requires an extra (or two) tone to the voice Arthur Paul Paschke SMIc USN veteran of five long years is next on our "list" Beside having the title of "Plasma" (since he looks as if a quart of blood plasma might give him energy enough to walk to work and back without falling on his face four times) and "Walking Rigor Mortis" (did you ever check the way he collapses along shaking from his worn out shoes to the frayed bucket he wears for a hat) the poor soul has to put up with the nickname of "Liver Lips" (that's exactly what they look like when he starts unwinding) He can fill you up with more phrases of Jive-talk in three minutes than you would ordinarily hear in three weeks The funny thing about it is that he is the originator of all this slap-happy jumble-ology However we'll give him credit He's an ex-college boy and like Chief "HH" Is swell to work with They both know their way around in this hard cruel Navy world More Rettrement Pay Asked for Top Braid' (SEA) A bill to increase by almost two-thirds the retirement pay of top officers of the armed services has been approved by the House Military Affairs Committee Under the proposed plan retired military chiefs would receive $9750 yearly excluding subsistance and rent allowances as contrasted with a current maximum of $8000 The bill differed 'substantially from a similar measure approved by the Senate which would let military heads Mire wth the same pay anc: allowances received while on active duty -i 7: RECOGNITION AND BASIC ORDNANCE We want to congratulate Meek and Oberhelman Both have received their "homing pigeons" It has been a pleasure to have had these fine outstanding citizens in the recognition phase 1 CHANGED HIS MIND A few months ago Pitcher was planning to get out by 15 December because he had two children Now it's 1 January because of points a It's beginning to look like Feaker will become a permanent fixture at NArre Another list out this morning and it seems he didn't want to get on it either Oh well Feaker we don't blame you NArrc must be a treat when you come from Kansas What is the reason for the big smile Champ has each morning? Could it be that he is getting breakfast in bed these days? a Feaker finished "Forever Amber" finally Commenting on conditions 'back in 1600 he says times haven't changed much VOLUNTEER We hear Champlin is volunteering for Shore Patrol duty Could it be that he wants to be nearer his wife or does becomitig a signalling Instructor bother him Best sailing either way Champ JUST THE BEGINNING Baker the twenty year boot has about decided to fill his "hitch" Seems as how three of those years are now past with a 40 record Nice going Baker and 17 years isn't such a long time or is It? Basic Ordnance has again said "so long" to ore of the old crew This time it was Mark Hagerman who captured tile "homing pigeon" and shoved of for his home in Michigan Wildanger's "I want out" hour was in session all day when he heard that holiday leaves were cancelled Now that the leave has come through the "I want out" hour has been shelved till January a I As one man put it "No greater love The guns in room have turned over on their sides mourning the loss of their leader "Luke" Hirsch who is now civilian first class and on his way to Colorado THE SKIVVY WAVERS CORNER ANOTHER TANGLEFOOT Snipes or "Legs" as we know him should not attempt to leap gaily over railings or he should remove his raincoat before he does attempt it His last try netted him one terrific spill flat on his face In the mud And speaking of spills "Dimples" came in for his share too While running a race with Marcinek he fell flat too but not' on his face In all truth we'll have to tell you that "Dimples" did win but we still think it was a case of "What Price Glory" Looks like the PT Department could do a little work on this Signaling Gang whipping them into SOME sort of shape I More losses in the Signal Phase namely "Twoop" (Thompson to you) and Yodis who are leaving the gang this week Good luck fellows Think of us once in a while Can't quite figure out what Tressler will do when his buddy leaves but time will tell GRIPES BUT GOOD This leave deal is about as good as a snowball in you know where What can guys and gals from Carolina Dakota Minnesota Illinois and Michigan possibly do with a 600 mile radius to play around in? Maybe we're supposed to stay in Oklahoma and fill their cash-regis I 1101 Nei "I'm worried about Junior He's always saying his back aches" ietf4(41 10 I eL4 014 II 6 a I'm worded about Junior He's always saying his back aches' It will be possible to bring guests aboard for that bountiful Christmas dinner it has been announced Latest word is that military personnel are each permitted to bring one guest aboard 25' December to dinner as guests of the Commanding Officer There will also be a chow line for civilians who are working aboard on Christmas day BUT Civilians who call NATTC "boss" but who are NOT working aboard on Christmas Day will not be permitted to come aboard for Christmas For those counted in Christmas Dinner 1945 probably the last aboard NATTC Norman will bb even more sumptous than any mere civilian festive board Take a look at the menu: Stuffed celery green onions and radishes fruit cocktail green and ripe olives roast young torn turkeyoyster dressing cranberry sauce giblet gravy candied sweet potato small French peas Saratoga salad pumpkin pie fruit cake parker house rolls candy mixed nuts coffee and cigarettes Much more than anyone can eat but it's worth a try Galley will operate on Christmas Day for NATTC and Galley will be open for business that day for the SepCenter Chow time Is from 1200 and 1300 10-Year Occupation Is Seen by McNarney Frankfort Germany (CNS)--Gen Joseph McNarney who succeeded Gen Eisenhower as head of the forces in Europe predicted that the occupation of Germany woull last at least 10 years During this period he went on the Germans would have time to establish a democratic government and perfect a self-sufficient economic program Gen McNarney said he would adhere strictly to our denazification policy 01 have not forgotten who started the war" he declared "The German people must realize that they are responsible and that their debt has not been paid" He favors bringing the families of occupation troops to Germany beginning next spring HALF IS AIRCRAFT (SEA) About half of the Government's surplus property is in aircraft and aircraft parts the bulk of which will be disposed of as scrap the Surplus Property Administration reported to Congress The aircraft and parts originally cost more than 17 billions You can't go wrong if you take your friends to see the game in Bldg 92 Friday night at 1930 Jones Repair the damage!" qt-qtal eral hundred officers and enlisted men selected at random in Los Angeles Atlanta Birmingham and Washington 31 percent hope to make careers in aviaton Next favored was law named by only seven percent TO THE VICTORY When Berlin was carved lip among the four powers the United States got Germany's great airport Tempelhof It is a real asset providing the Americans can restore it to its former glory and enlarge it to meet postwar flying needs By tearing down a few apartment houses tht present 4800 foot runway can be extended to provide suitable approaches for our B-29s and C-54s WATCH THAT BARGAIN!
