This Sounds Official
So Read it and Obey
The Provost Marshal's office re-
ports that there are still some pri­
vately owned cars, belonging to
officers, enlisted men and civilians
permanently stationed on this post,
not yet registered with this office.
It is imperative that the.-.;- ears
be registered immediately. Failure
to do so, according to the Provost
Marshal, will result in the im­
pounding of the car until such
time as the owner complies with
this regulation. Sundays excepted,
the Provost Marshal’s office is
open daily from 0800 until 1700.

Pvt. Peterson's Own
Success Story Shows
How to Get on Radio
Pvt. Glen Peterson, the big pro­
moter from Ft. Dix, N. J., has a
radio program in full swing, over
KOAC, Tuesday, Thursday and Fri­
day at 5 o’clock, when it can be
heard nicely in barracks, right be­
fore chow.
In his effort to work this up, Pvt.
Peterson tried desperately to get a
soldier’s job as janitor, hoping to
manage some spare time that way,
by using common sense and dusting
the undersides of desks only every
other day. He didn’t make it, but
has landed a job as draftsman
with the Post engineers.
“I play request numbers and
chatter about what is going on here
in camp,” says Pvt. Peterson. “I
was in ha.u radio back home, as
a hobby. I am 20. I’ll appreciate
it if fellows in different outfits
will send in stories, about boners
and so on, wedding announcements,
birthdays, personals. I got five fan
letters on my first program. And
I thank Mrs. Grace Blow, of Cor­
vallis, and Mrs. James Morris, of
Oregon State College and J»OAC,
for their aid in getting the pro­
gram underway.”
