The subsequent post mortems
held Sunday on the Costume Ball,
sponsored by the Officers’ Club
iast Saturday night, all concluded
with the obvious decision: the
party far outranked in fun. novel
ty and enjoyment any previously
jgiven on the post.
The club had been completely
transformed by the Decoration
Committee, under the inaginative
direction of Major Groves and
his able crew, to give an excel
lent imitation of a circus.
The food committee, headed by
Lt. Jack Kaufman, contributed
further to the circus theme by
serving hot dogs on rolls and kick
apoo punch, effectively breaking
away from the inevitable sand
wiches and coffee.
The costumes ranged in var
iety from the exotic to the hide
*ous and Lt. Norman Doke, as a
press photographer, seemed to be
enjoying his assignment of snap
ping the colorful participants and
calling for “more cheesecake,
please” in the poses of the girls.
Lon Chaney <Lt Kaufman) ef
fectively frightened the girls, as
with his sinister leer exposing his
horrible teeth, he made a lurch
with his withered leg, supported
by a crutch, for one of them.
Colonel Waters lent a very pro
saic note as a U.S.E.D. laborer,
complete with yellow suspenders,
while Mrs. Waters, a poor blind
woman, did her pathetic best to
support the family by begging
pennies from the calloused crowd.
At ten thirty the Master of Cer
emonies (Major Holland), garbed
in a bright red shirt and conceal
ing rather well the strain of stay
ing sober for the occasion, intro
duced the floor show, which con
sisted of the three French waiters
(Lt. Makin, Lt. Chamberlain, and
Capt. Bown', who, the MC sol
emnly informed the crowd, had
been imported straight from Paris
and “were the most polished that
Europe could offer” (“Anything
was followed by a temperature
raising hula-hula dance by Mrs.
Ekert and a strip-tease act by
Roger Johnson, which held the
spectators in suspense.
The final high light of the even
ing was the selection of the prize
winning costumes and, with Mrs.
Waters and Mr. Jack Anderson as
judges, the colorful dancers cir
cled the floor several times.
June Adams as Little Miss Muf
fett modestly accepted the prize
as the best-costumed girl. Frank
enstein’s Monster in the form of
Lt. John Bass took the counter
part prize and Lt. and Mrs. Con
nor, in the vivid forest green and
bows and arrows of Robin Hood
and Little John were the judges’
choice for the best costumed
couple.
Although there was no prize
for a quartet, the judges felt that
the realistic costumes of Mr. and
Mrs. Saario and Mr. and Mrs.
Stanley Morgan should be award
ed. The prize for the most hideous
costume was given to Lt. Jack
Kaufman whose makeup as Lon
Chancy verged on the profession

Other costumes in the circling
crowd were: The Queen of the
harem and her counterpart (Shir
ley Bernard and Lt. Waskiewics);
The Devil and the Angel (Lt. Pad
dock and Janet Johnson); The
French Apache Couple (Lt. Adams
and Mary Manning); The Two

World Government
Only Alternative
Says Dr. Szilard
LOS ANGELES. June 12. — (&)—
World government is the only al
ternative to globular destruction
in the light of atomic discoveries
and the potentialities of biologic
al warfare, Dr. Leo Szilard, of the
University of Chicago said. The
atomic bomb has drastically and
surely changed the United States
from dominance as a world pow
er, said Dr. Szilard, who aided
in the development of the fear
some weapon.
As long as guns, tanks and air
planes were the chief weapons,
the United States was in a strong
position owing to her large cap
acity for producton, as she could
clearly outproduce any other na
tion in these weapons.”
“With atomic bombs in exist
ance," he continued, “the situa
tion is completely changed. Again
the U. S. may out produce every
other country in atomic bombs,
but once we have all the bombs
we need to destroy all the cities
of the enemy, additional bombs
will be of very little advantage.
What matters is who has more
cities which are exposed to des
truction.” said the doctor.

door is actually yours.
For, if you're like most people, you've
probably found you can save more money,
more easily through your regular Payroll

you’ve ever used.
So.,. wouldn’t it be wise to build upon
the fine investment you already have in
your War Bonds...with a continued invest
ment in U. S. Savings Bonds?
You can buyyour U.S. Savings Bonds just
as easily as you bought your War Bonds
.. | ||
... through your Payroll Savings Plan or
other official Bond outlets. You get the
same high return on them too—$25 for
every $18.75 you invest!
In fact, U. S. Savings Bonds are the
same as War Bonds in everything but name!
So put all your extra dollars into U. S.
Savings Bonds. You'll be mighty glad you
did... on the day they help you buy your
new home!
