Lane Lands Large
Lush Brown Trout
Misfortune worked in re­
verse for Capt. Stanley M.
Lane, commanding officer of
B-56 last Sunday — and he
brought hack a 512-pound
brown trout to show for it.
Unable to obtain a boat at
Paulina Lake where he had
chosen to fish Capt. Lane de­
cided to fish o ff the bank using
a caddis fly. The result was a
catch over 24 inches long, the
largest yet reported to the EN­
GINEER. Plenty of big ones,
even larger, could be seen in
the shallows near the shore, he
said.
Several weeks ago while
“fooling with” a companion’s
casting rod baited with a bass
lure, Capt. Lane hooked a
brown weighing slightly more
than four pounds.

Casualties a m o n g ground
squirrels reached startling pro­
portions here this week as sold­
iers of the Engineer Replace­
ment Training Center began a
drive to rid drill and cantonment
areas of the destructive rodents.
Hundreds of the little animals
already have died on the drill
field, victims of a poisoned oats
used as bait, and efforts are be­
ing made to rid the areas of the
squirrels before they go into
hibernation later this month.
In addition to digging large
holes which might prove dan­
gerous, the squirrels are hosts
to a variety of flea which some­
times carries bubonic plague.
Soldiers are warned not to touch
the animals.
Lt. Wilbert E. Spies, Post med­
ical inspector and sanitation of­
ficer, is in charge of the drive
and operations are being carried
out by members of the newly-
activated 53rd Battalion.

Boxing Gloves Arrive for
Mass Participation Needs
Since mass boxing looms to be
a salient feature of the ERTC
physical development program,
the camp Special Service branch
this week was ready to dis­
tribute 148 sets of gloves.
Divided in 12-oz. and 16-oz.
weights, the gloves are housed

concerned,” said two specialists
of the U. S. Army Motion Pic­
ture Service who were here sup­
ervising installation of equip­
ment over the weekend prior to
the showhouse’s formal opening
Monday evening.
“Everything here is of the
finest quality,” commented Mr.
It. O. Schmidt, district manager
of the Seattle branch. “Abbot-
men will appreciate the ultimate
in equipment and bookings,”
added Mr. R. E. Quick, assistant
manager.
Veterans of motion picture
equipment installations at Army
camps in the Ninth Service
Command, the officials arrived
here last Saturday and departed
on Tuesday, after conferring
with Lt. P. H. O’Brien, Special
Services director, and Lt. B.
Klabanoff, theater officer.
“ From the enthusiastic recep­
tion on the opening night,” said
Mr. Schmidt, “ the theater looms
to be the most popular haven of
soldiers on the post.”

ficers atul cadre men of the 54th
Engr. Tng. Bn., 21 to 4, on the
Post diamond Sunday to bring
its season score to two wins and
one loss.
Members of the varsity gained
their lopsided advantage off 11
walks and 13 hits. Battalion

difficulty finding the plate. Lt.

Ayscue four while Kern and
Zande, varsity hurlers, allowed
only six hits and four walks.
Seid, Camp Abbot third base-
man, was walked five times.
Camp Abbot will meet a
more formidable opponent

defeated the varsity squad 11
to 1 in a contest June 13.
Hitting honors went to Mas-
lan, first baseman and one of the
newest additions to the varsity
roster. Maslan scored for a
triple and a double and was
walked once out of four trit>s to
the plate. In addition he stole
two bases.
Six errors
were
cha'ked
against the battalion team and
three against the varsity.
