army and AIR FORCE GRADUATES!
We now have in stock the NEW OFFICER’S
♦ GUIDE. This new volume brings up to date the val
uable features of its predecessors, and constitutes a
treasure chest of helpful information and guidance.
r Officers of all grades and length of service, on
active or inactive duty, recognize the value of having
THE OFFICER’S GUIDE available for ready refer
ence and wise counsel. Half a million officers have
used this book in its many editions. THE OFFI
CER’S GUIDE is not, as supposed by many individ
uals, a guide designed solely for junior officers. True,
most junior officers do acquire copies early in their
career as there is no substitute for this reliable and
ever ready source of helpful information. However,
many experienced officers of senior grade with many
years of service find THE OFFICER’S GUIDE a
highly useful and time saving reference.
The officer’s family will also benefit by reading
this comprehensive volume. Selected sections such
as Army Posts and Stations, Foreign Service and Life
in Oversea Commands, Customs of the Service, The
Code of the Army, and Leadership help to orient your
family on the military way of life. To a surprising
degree the career of an officer is influenced by his
wife. She can contribute most to his success if she is
fully informed as to the Army’s codes, requirements,
customs, and opportunities.
This new edition is in tune with the situation of
today and tomorrow. Considerable revision has been
accomplished to incorporate important changes in
regulations. . ,
Don’t get left out, come in today and get your

when the Dodgers met the ball,
struck out 11 of the hardest hit
ting crew in the National League,
The hard luck left hander, now
loser of five and winner of one,
was alternately brilliant and medi
ocre. The home run ball proved
his downfall.

assignment since Sept. 26, 1950.

floodlighted gathering to date.
