of all industrial progress, the im
mediate and certain result would
be a breaking down of the nation
al economy, a reduction of nation
al income. Freedom of the indi
vidual and his unlimited incentive
for gain are dependent on each
other. This way, everyone bene
fits.

Eight of the Signal Corps men
spent the week-end at Dexter. We
had a wonderful time, although it
was rather wet and cold Saturday
night. T Sgt. and Mrs. Strait
spent the week end in the wilder
ness also. They canoed down
Snake River from the Snake River
bridge in 6V2 hours. Sgt. Strait’s
claims about his hunting are just a
little too much for one’s imagina
tion. His most accomplished feat
on the trip was shooting six birds
in one shot.
Back from their furloughs are
T/5 Dale Porter, and Cpl. Shoop
man of the Engineers. Both are
heavy equipment men and conse
quently will be of great help at
the present time. S/Sgt. Wenger,
T/5 Myers, and Pvt. William Wil
lett spent a week end in the
mountains. Although there was
very little hunting they returned
with 61 trout.
Pinochle is becoming the most
popular time-burner in the Hq.
Det. barracks. There is a session
running into the wee hours of the
morning every Saturday night.
Cpls. Fiscus and Siler claim to
hold the best record in the Det.
and welcome all comers. Many of
the fellows are beginning to look
forward to their homeward jour
ney. Starting in October, many of
the fellows will be going back to
where they come from.
The NCO Club has really felt
the sting of Quartermaster luck
lately as a few individuals like
Cpl. Reilly, Sgt. Cantu, Sgt. Mast,
and Cpl. Penner seem to maintain
a schedule on winning all the
jackpots. It’s really quite an ex
perience having one or two extra
pay days a month, in the Army.
We just completed our turn at the
range on Wednesday, all of which
was for “familiarization” pur
poses. Mostly all came out all
right, meaning good shots.
The ACS had a double boost this
week. Seven men were promoted.
They were Chuck Basset and Joe
Marcinkowski to S/Sgt., Bob Ma
roney and Jim Williams to Sgt.,
and Phil Cormiers, Tom Davidson,
and Bernal Boe to Cpl. The second
boost was the addition of a dark
room in the barracks by Sgt.
Oborney and Bill Brand. Our Sta
tion Chief, M/Sgt. Jim Cosby, left
on ten days TDY to Elmendorf
Field. Among all the technicians
in our outfit, we happen to have
one schoolboy. Cpt. Wayne Jack
son is taking additional methemat
ics in the Nome High School.
We of the 10th Rescue Squad
ron wish to give S/Sgt. Harry R.
Brown, S/Sgt. Joe A. Campbell,
S/Sgt. Harry A. Weber, Pfc. Fred
W. Grumnn. and Pfc. Lawrence
Vitale a hearty welcome to the
10th Rescue and to Nome, Alaska.
S/Sgt. Shyrle Russell is now on
duty after a 10-dav leave. M/Sgt.
Paul E. Jensen has at last received
his private pilot license.
Pfc. Koval and Price made a
nice catch of grayling Tuesday
evening which were fried to per
fection and enjoyed by all the MP
Det. With these two men hunting
REAR ADM. MONTGOMERY
NEW COMMANDER OF 17TH
Rear Admiral A. E. Montgom
ery, USN, relieved Rear Admiral
F. A. Daubin. USN, as Command
ant. Seventeenth Naval District,
and Commander Alaskan Sea
Frontier, on August 30, 1947, at
Change of Command ceremonies
held at the U. S. Naval Operating
Base, Kodiak, Alaska.
Rear Admiral Daubin, who as
sumed command of the Seven
teenth Naval District on April 3,
1946, has been ordered to the
Commander, Western Sea Fron
tier, for duty. During the greater
portion of World War II he served
as Commander. Submarines, U. S.
Atlantic Fleet. In December, 1944,
he became Commandant of the
Navy Yard, New York City, and
served in that capacity until he
assumed command of the Seven
teenth Naval District.
and fishing seems to be very much
a part of their daily routine as
they are out until dark most every
evening. Pfc. Churchill took a nice
trip by plane this week and came
back with interesting facts about
the land and scenery that he saw.
The war between the north and
the south is still raging in the Of
fice of the Provost Marshall but
so far it is impossible to decide
just what the outcome will be.
Both sides seem to be well match
ed and neither can gain much on
the other.
