Through arrangements completed
with the Metropolitan USO Detroit,

Armed Services had the opportunity

THE WORKS” visit with them this
week-end,
The tour included shows present
ed at Air Force camps located at

Under the talented and capable

Hall at Centralia last
night with a fast miving,

visiting friends.
Accompanying the cast were mem

With a score of 5-4.
Number 9 S.F.T.S. is proud of the

down to defeat at the hands of
W.D.’s from Aylmer in a fast, well-
played basketball game which took
place in Crumlin this week. Al
though the score showed 32-16, the
game was packed with action and
fast passing plays.
Defeat for our Volleyball team
that went to TTS. in St. Thomas
to participate in Command Volley
ball playoffs this week, brought out
a renewed spirit for this sport.

Coming as we do from a station
where meals are taken in the dour
silence peculiar to our Highland an
cestry, we’ve peen feeling positive
ly skittish here at Centralia when
the noonday sausage waltzes down
to the tune of “Pistol Packin’
Mama,"
Music broadcast to the Mess from
SO. Rusted’s office during the din
ner and supper hours has subtle
effects on the mealtime morale, As
the long queue works its way slow
ly up to the steam-tables, a wiggle
here and a sway there is proof*
enough that harmony discovers souls
among us left undulled by the lust
for food. We like to consider at this
time the wild effect on mother
should her family suddenly adopt
this rhythmic aproach to her cook
ing!
After a couple of months we have
ceased to blush at the thought of
ourselves brought to a dead stand
still in the line-up one day by our
favorite waltz, alone for the time
with starry-eyed memories of the
Good Old Bad Days, until the Com
mando immediately to our rear sud
denly led on his troops in a manner
that leaves no doubt as to the out
come of this particular war, so far
as the Air Force is concerned.
Such a choice as “Oh What a
Beautiful Morning,” on those days
we blunder into dinner all bruised
and sorry from the series of convul
sions a journey across the ice from
Headquarters to the Mess seems to
involve for us, we regard as un
fortunate. We’re all for “Mairzy
Doats,” though, having now master
ed the thing from start to finish,
which is quite far for some folks.
With practice, the newcomer can
soon acquire the cultivated shriek
that is required for securing such
luxuries as butter or a carelessly
unguarded dessert, so that it no
longer becomes necessary to proceed
down, the table after these articles
on one’s stomach. We took this
newly-acquired bellow on a 48 with
us once and all but knocked a small
boy right out of his chair as we
roared for the cream.
Remarks left suspended in mid
air when the music stops range
from the hilarious to the downright
embarrassing. The one we like best
left us bolt upright upon hearing
someone finish in the most matter-
of-fact sort of way, “ . . . and threw
the baby right out the window.” Up
until then we had been cherishing
the day the bus stopped too sudden
ly and a lady was left shouting, “We
fry ours in butter!”
In closing, we offer these humble
thanks to the genius who turned
thumbs down on music for break
fast, when we ask only to be alone
with our gloom and our bacon. And

Otherwise the game meant nothing

It was quite a different brand of

things pretty easy. They enjoyed
but a slim 3-2 edge in the first

“Whatever ig worth doing is

This is an excellent principle for
young people to learn—how to con

is- the secret of successful endeav

music, logic, rhetoric, mathematics
and iatin, for schoolmen were once
the medium of conversation—they
could not only read it, but speak it
—and many of them were almost
as fluent in Greek.
What this old time preceptor has
to say, therefor, to the lad seeking
his advice as to the best way to
make progress in learning is of the
highest value in this day also, for
the object is essentially the same.
He first emphasizes the import

the teacher, heeding his advice and
obediently following his instructions.
Secondly, he makes it quite plain
that nothing is possible without ef

There’s a feeling of just stepping
over to the neighbours’ when you
clatter down the wooden walk to
the old summer kitchen entrance of
the Hostess House. During the day
time this mellow old place sits on
the fringe of the camp looking a
little surprised with its cocky red
roof, but when night comes and the
windows are all alight, it’s a house
expecting friends.
No bright little cottage built sole

and her assistant, Mrs. Thompson,
is the kind of casual welcome that
everybody likes and you’ll begin to
feel it with your hand on the latch.
However, you might as well know
right now’that the man of the house
is completely cuckoo. He loves to
entertain and goes about it by jump

WARNING} The rubber situation is still
critical. Synthetic rubber tires are now
being produced, but they are for the
armed services and "essential” civilian
vehicles only. Your needs will be taken
care of just as soon as humanly possible.
As your next tires probably will be made
of synthetic, the following information is
important to you. Synthetic rubber tires
are comparatively new, they do not yet
match natural rubber tires in all-around
performance. The continuing laboratory
and road-testing work will, undoubtedly,
hasten improvements.
In the meantime, however, Synthetic
rubber tires will meet present needs and
see us through the emergency, IF CARE is
exercised AT ALL TIMES. Driving at
reduced speeds (35 M.P.H. Or under), nO
overloading, accurate inflation, regular
rotation (switching tires from one wheel
to another), immediate attention to tire
damage and frequent inspection by d
Goodyear Dealer will enable yon io get
satisfactory service from synthetic
rubber tires.
