BIti BATTLE LOOMS
Private O’Hagan, former 55th
Battalion hoxer who lost to Pri
vate Enriquez in a preliminary
bout in the Post boxing tourna
ment several weeks ago, wants
another crack at the man who
cooled him. Enriquez, who now
is on bivouac and could not be
contacted, went ahead to take
the Post championship in the
165-pound class, a title which he
still holds. Should the battle ma
terialize, it will be held next Fri
day and should be one of the
best to date.
Advance boxing dope: Boxers
from the 57th Battalion boxers,
guided by Lt. Kulbes, have the
next Post boxing championship

Horseshoe pitching is making
rapid gains in popularity, espe

area. Shoes can be heard clank

that is, of course, during off-
duty hours.

rent t o u r n e y was Thursday

Model Builders
Here Challenged
A challenge to model builders
of the training center here was
issued this week by Mrs. Helen
Smith, director of the Service
Club.
“ The club has nearly 100 fly
ing model airplane kits of vari
ous types on hand as well as a
number of aircraft carriers, and
so far no one has attempted to
assemble one,” Mrs. Smith said.
“The club would like to have
someone build one a i r p l a n e
model and one aircraft carrier
for display purposes to stimu
late interest.”
Models of jeeps and tanks also
were regarded apathetically by
club patrons until someone fi
nally assembled models and
placed them on Mrs. Smith's
desk. Once soldiers saw com
pleted models, the demand be
came so great the supply soon
was exhausted.
Soldiers are permitted to keep
the models, Mrs. Smith pointed
out.
H ELP W AN TED !
A call for soldiers' wives de
siring employment was issued
by the Service Club this week.
Persons interested in applying
for work are urged to contact
Miss Helen Souhrada. cafteria
hostess. Several positions are
open, Miss Souhrada said.
Boost in Archery
Interest Seen
Archery was expected to rise
to prominence in sports circles
this week with the completion
of stands for targets on hand at
the Post Recreation Hall.
Twelve sets of archery equip
ment, including excellent Pear
son bows and arrows ,are avail
able at the r e c r e a t i o n hall.
Equipment may be checked out
by contacting Sgt. Leo Frizzo,
coach for the Special Service Of
fice.
The targets have been placed
in the 55th Battalion drill field.
Gl's Neglecting
Personal Affairs
Soldiers destined for overseas
stations were warned by the
Judge Advocate’s Office this
week to place their personal af
fairs in proper order before
leaving the Post.
The warning was an out
growth of complaints by per
sonal affairs officers in various
staging areas that too many
service personnel arrive at stag
ing areas without having com
pleted arrangements for insur
ance, allotments of pay, ma
ternity care for the wives of
service personnel and family al
lowances.
