DOING SOMETHING RIGHI We must be doing something tight. That’ s the conclusion we reached after hearing a b o u t Captain Arnold Freheim of F o rt B liss, Texas. The Gar den Grove, C a lif, native re cently turned down a profes sional baseball contract with the C alifornia Angels Inonder to remain in tlie Army and at tend the An Delense School. Capt.
