RANGE ESTIMATION WORK IMPROVES:
Returns from ”E” and Hq.Companies third
problem in Range Estimation showed a still higher average,-87^ ac
curacy. Seven out of seventeen scored more than the 90% that is
required before a man can be considered proficient. The high men
were Stewart,"E” Co»,95°£, DevJ.in,Hq.Co., 95^, Math e son., "E" Co., 93/£,
Crocoll,Hq«Co., and Howell, ME” Co. ,92^, Brown, "E” Co., 91%>, and Mc
Leod, ”E” Co,t9C%„
Except for an error of 1000 yards,probably a mistake
in writing down the estimate,the Companies’ average would have been
considerably higher.
the sensible,COURTEOUS INTERPRETATION:
Memorandum No . 53, Post Headquart ers, furnishes as much
food for thought on a current subject as anything that we have seen
for a long tine- It reads as follows:
”1. Par 384, Array Regulations,as changed by C2A.R.$50,is
intertreted by these Headquarters as follows: When an Officer
meets or passes an enlisted man while off the Post,any failure
to salute would show a lack of courtesy»
2. The salute is the method used by those in the military
service in saying,"Kcw do you do?" The Post Commander b elieves
thdt all officers of this command have the proper spirit in this
matter, so that when they meet an enlisted man off the Post they
would want to say,"Hello",in the most fraternal manner,feeling
that all are brothers in arms. The salute is the prescribed mil
itary method of greeting*
3* The Post Commander hopes that the present excellent
morale cf the command will be maintained*"
To those sentiments we subscribe heartily.

OVERHEARD IN THE DAY-ROOM:
As we were coming in from duck hunting the
other Saturday,we met a certain Sergeant with a fishing outfit,
heading.out toward Jones' Point.Looking further up the highway,we
saw.something that made us really think that fishing was good in
that locality. Who were they,Andy?
They drew clothing at Batt.Hqrs.Co.the other
day,but it was the first time that we learned that the young ladies
of Haines wear woolen socks.Or do they, ^eigr.er ? Just like getting
married,Raymond,my boy,-or running a car,-it's not the original
cost,-it’s the upkeep.
