Goodhue, captain of the championship Station .Headquart- ers team, was presented with the trophy for ;which he and his squad had successfully battled In a crucial game with Radar Sec- tion. Captain Good'hue then called upon S/L "Weakeyes" Bury, the official umpire of the league, to come forward and receive a scroll which stated, in part, that if umpire Bury was to officiate next season the size of the soft- ball would have to be increased to that of a football. Adding insult to injury, the umpire was then provided with a pair of dark glasses and a white cane. -- In more serious vein, the players gave S/L Bury a set of military brushes for his splendid effort end unselfish contribution of time to the difficult task of umpiring the Intersection League games. His decision on the play- ing field were always consistent with a sense of fair play and justice. The job of orgaiiiding and op; crating the league was the resp- onsibility of F/S G. Jackson, In appreciation of his splendid suc- cess in this capacity, Goalie Jackson was presented with an attractive leather utility bag. Cpl, Dick Allen came in for a round of hearty applause and was given a Ronson lighter for his efforts to keep the softball diam- ond in the best possible playing condition throughout the year.

H, LOCUfEAD, Station PRO Phone 382 Local 39 NO. 53 Staff Officer Course Members Graduate Seven members of the ; second perieneed aircrew member must expect to exchange the cockpit or crew compartment for an of- fice desk when he has proved his ability to handle a larger job, "that we may ensure that the flying viewpoint is kept in the forefront' of all Air Force ,activ- ities, administrative as well as operational."

These changes have made evident the need for air- crew officers specializing in air- borne radio and radar operating, to assist in the staff planning of air operations. To fit these officers for their future role the course provided instruction in radio theory, pedagogy, staff plan- ning, effectivespeakieg and mili- tary organization and personnel management.
