The beginning of the ninth proved to be disastrous for the hom esters, as th e medics teed off w ith four hits, am ong them a double and a triple, to put the gam e in the bag.

A rm y Em ergency Relief A im s C ited on Program Based upon the principle that a soldier free from w orry is a b etter fighting man, an unob trusive, highly effective o rgan ization has cam paigned without pause since before Pearl H arbor to help m ake good the boast "the Arm y takes care of its own.” This organization is the Army Em ergency Relief, operated by th e W ar D epartm ent.

E R T C Rookies Untie M a n y Knotty Problems at Ease Red Cross A id To Abbotmen Is Impressive The Camp Abbot field o.fiice of the American Red Cross m ade 146 loans totaling 88,918.78 to soldiers on m aneuvers in the Bend area and to Camp Abbot troops during July, Mr. Frank J. Dunning, field director, reported yesterday. Thirty-eight loans to taling 82,187 w ere to Camp Ab bot personnel. The office also handled 394 cases for Abbotmen. Of the entire am ount, $470 might well be considered an o u t rig h t grant, Mr. Dunning said. "G ran ts” were made to 10 sol diers whose financial position precludes the possibility of col lecting. One such loan of 830 w as made to a Camp Abbot soldier. Loans w ithin the cam p prob ably will be increased consider ably at the end of A ugust w hen troops who have completed th e ir training become eligible for lur- loughs and m ay apply for Re»l Cross funds, Mr. Dunning said. Gas rationing has nothing to do w ith the camp-wide construc tion of hitching posts in rea r of train in g battalions. T hey’re used for practice in tying various knots combat en gineers are supposed to know how to tie. Judging from the feverish “jaw bone” splicing, the trainees catch on very quickly.
