LUKE’S GROCERY and MARKET East Gate combat time to his credit and 45 successful bombing missions, not considering Atlantic Patrol, and Mediterranean Patrol. On January 6, 1943, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and The Air Medal by Ma jor General Brereton. He wears the theatre ribbon for Middle East, North African, and European thea tres of war. During his stay overseas he vi sited Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Cairo, Benghazi (after it was in Allied hands), and Tobruk. At Jerusalem he took in such sights as Mount Calvary, Way of the Cross, birthplace of John the Baptist, Mt. Zion, Mount of Olives, Mosque of Omar (Also called Dome om the Rock), Ascension temple, Wailing Wall of Jerusalem, Prison of Christ, tomb of Joseph, tomb of Rachael, Sheppards Field, tomb of Christ and other revered spots. At Bethlehem Mr. Anderson went into the Church of Nativity of the birthplace of Christ. At Cairo, Egypt he went horse back riding, substituting a camel for a horse. On the outskirts of Cairo, such sights as the gigantic pyramids, the Sphinx (Arabic God dess of Beauty) greeted the party of touring Yanks. Mr. Anderson was in the second American bomber to drop “block busters” on Naples for the first time this /“war. The longest bombing raid their crew made was 15 hours 45 min utes. Once while over Naples, Italy, one engine was shot out and ano ther an the same side disabled. The B-24, “Raunchy,” proved her worth—they completed their bomb ing mission and then limped into Malta. (The airmen’s God-Send, according to the youthful gunner’s statements). At Malta they landed, repaired their ship, and returned to their home base. “Flak” or “ack ack’’ was con sidered their most dangerous ha zard, Again quoting Mr. Ander son; “Ack Ack can’t follow you around like a pursuit can but it manages to be there to meet you pretty well, Mostly due to the heavy barrages thrown up as you approach a target.” At 11:14 A. M. and 23 seconds he stepped out of a DC-3 at his port of Debarkation, April 21, 1943. From under his foot he took the first American soil he put his foot on and to this day it remains at his home in a sealed envelope. <D(!D(S> BONDS BY BRAD What has happened to the ASTU News you say? Where is all the chatter? Listen Bud, the best news story of all will break soon and people all over the world will read it and cry and laugh and shout and dance. Yeah .... You know what that story is. The headlines will cover the front page. That headline will read “PEACE”. So how about it? Are we going to dig down in that kick and buy a bond? Are we going to give my brother, and your brother, or maybe your cousin, or your best friend, a break and get them home as soon as we can? You dam betcha, we are. We’re going to help make those headlines. We’re going to dig in for an extra bond this month. And don’t give me no maybe ... A hellofa lot of GIs over there are count ing on us over here. — EXHAUST — (Continued from Page 3) pink book (with red lace). Flash —Mr. “Sax” Bernstein (the Sad Sax), Mr. “Corky” Cantor, and Mike Doliner plus the addition of Rose Pebble Nolan were seen last Sunday evening at the North Gate striving to sweep some young la dies off their seats. The competition was terrific and the sawdust could be seen flying from all sides. In the middle of the brawl in came Mr. “Zoot” Eich- ler and without a word escorted the ladies out, leaving the boys holding their brooms. Pans turned a putrid shade of green, tinged with radiant beams of crimson. Mr. Eichler what have you got that gets them. Ah don’t know how he dood it, but he dood it. What infamous character in Squadron V asked for a 7c malted, and got a 5c coke and 2c worth of dirty looks from the waiter. Could be Doliner again. Men of Squadron V extend its best wishes and congratulations to A/S Raymond Phillippes of this squadron and to his new wife, Miss Netta Ellaine Siquardson of Los Angeles. Mr. Glazer our team manager has been shaping both his touch football and basketball squacls in to condition. Many ex-college ath letes are to feature our teams in action. A few of the aforementioned ath letes are Mr. Donati of Oregon State; Mr. Doliner of Syracuse; Mr. Scott of Illinois; and Mr. Col vin of Kansas. The Gridiron and Hardwood Courts will carry the Banner of Squadron V as they go rolling on towards Victory.

Kettler made no exception to this rule. We deep ly appreciate the labors and strug gles which the Lieutenant had to suf f er in our behalf. I dare state it is no exaggeration, to say any man of this Squadron would give up his life for the Lieutenant if in combat under his command and such startling conditions existed. Lt. Kettler has been found by the men of Squadron III to be an accurate judge, square dealer, good disciplinarian and fair sport. It is not without remorse that I say good-bye to you now. I hate “good-byes”—so I say “hasta luego” or translated—until we meet again. Every man has found our Com manding Officer, Captain Sam B. Hill a pleasure to work under. Every word I have ever heard about him has been truly on the affirmative side and complimenta ry. Every last one of the Captain’s Beavers is his friend—whether he knows it or not. The expression is often best expressed: “he’s a swell guy!” It has been my pleasure to work New Ration Book Will Be Ready Late Next Month With its 384 small-size stamps, War Ration Book Four will be ready for distribution to the na tion late in October, the Office of Price Administration announced recently. The book, which will last for about two years, will contain red, blue, green, and black stamps, and will cover all foods now rationed as well as possible additional ra tioned foods. The green stamps will be the first ones to come into use, and they will be valid “sometime in November” on an iterim basis with blue processed-food stamps. The red and blue stamps will be used as before to buy rationed in my little way for the news-staff and this Detachment in my best manner possible. The editors and members of the Battalion staff have been most cooperative and helpful. Their aid was deeply ap preciated and welcomed. So Aggies, Beavers, Officers, la dies, gentlemen and scholars— thanks for bearing with me, God’s blessings upon you and “hasta luego.” Martin E. Ismert, Jr. Managing Editor canned good, meats, fats, and dairy products. The black stamps in the new war ration book are divided into twelve sugar stamps, twelve coffe stamps, and seventy-two spare stamps. The OPA explained that although coffee is no longer rationed, the coffe stamps will be considered as spares. The spare ration stamps are to be used “in case any additional ration currency is needed for any of the programs.” Book Four is to be distributed through the schools because OPA officials said there was insufficient time between completion of the mailing of Book Three and the date when the new book goes into use to handle applications by mail. Registration dates will be an nounced later. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “GOSH—ON THE FRITZ AGAIN! BET I CAN’T GET A NEW PEN! EVEN REPAIR PARTS ARE SCARCE!"
