The Panthers rallied in the third period and came within one point of the Cubs, thv scoreboard reading, Greencastle 31; Bloomington 30. Led by Mike Tzouanakis, Dunn and Hoffman in the final frame, the locals forged i into a 38 to 30 lead that proved too much for the boys from down the Monon. The tilt ended 40 to 36, with Mike Tzouanakis getting Greencastlv's last two points on free tosses. Brown. Bloomington's No. 10, who was a thorn in the side of the Cub players as well as the home spectators all evening, collected a total of 18 points for the visiting aggregation. The game was fast from the initial tip-off to thv final gun with both sides showing some splendid offensive work. Defense w r as ragged at times on the part of both quintets but for the most part it was a well played encounter with th? Cubs having a slight edge as the final score indicates. Grecncastle's undefeatvd B team came through with a sparkling 26 to 8 victory over the Bloomington reserves in a curtain raiser to the varsity battle.

There are 19 hours difference in time between here and Greencastle, so while you’re enjoying the 19th of the month at home over here its’ still the 18th. The seasons too, differ. While you’re enjoying winters we’re hav ng summer and visa versa. Over here there Is no way of distinguishing the seasons except for the rain. In the summer it’s wet and in thwinter it’s dry. We don’t hav? ;<-i much rain here because we’re slioiti- • ed to a large degree by the mountains. The temperature isn t exceedingly hot but the humidity is ter-1 rible and the sun is very harmful to'

Undoubtably, the people at homo have heard much about th tropical) diseases, such as, Malaria fever, i Denquo fever, Elephon tisis and jungle rot. Those diseases are here, I naturally, but any one that contact!! any of them does so entirely through' carelessness. The army issues everything known poss ble to combat these things, and if used properly, are more than effective. One application of the insect repellent will prevent harm from mosquitoes and other types of vermin for a period of 4 hours. Mosquito gloves and head nets are issued as added ptecautions. Te men are equipped with mosquito bars for sleeping hours. A spray is to kill any mosquitoes that might ba under the bar. The one really serious fever disease is Scrub Typhus. There is no known .(inoculation for it’s prevention. It is carried by lice and is gotten from the tall Kunei grass where the rats make their nests. Leggings ire constantly worn at ail times and insecticide powder is used to sprinkle n the clothing and on body before going in to grassy areas. The sinipliest way to keep from contracting It is to simply stay away from the grass. There are very few cases of it, or any other disease here. If the people at home are worried about it, they can stop worrying because it renlly isn't as bad as it sounds. Our living conditions are as good and clean as possible under the circumstances. Our mess halls aro co npletely screened in fot protection against flies and our sanitation facilities are excellent. All barbage is burned in incenerotors and tha kitchens are Inspected daily by our medics. The food .s as go-Hl as could be expected since all fresh meats and vegetables are being sent to front line troops. God knows they deserve It. For entertainment we generally have two or three movies a week and a band occasionally from the division band section. We have three small' dance bands, one 40 piece dam e band and o, - large march ng band. Ther too we have our Red Cross service centers, (for enlisted personnel). I Before I go any farther I’d like say that the ladies operating theclubs are doing an excellent bit of work. They are doing every thing possible to raise the ntorale of the fe!-‘

Your boys are making the Japs pay for their crurri against humanity—and they'll keep on making them f 1 ) till the day of victory. They won't quit! It's up to you to prove during the 6th War L' v,n ^ r '' e that you’re still in there fighting, too! Your job is to buy at least one extra $100 bond during the drive. For the Pacific war is going to be far more costly than the European one. One B-29 Superfortress costs $600,000, and we’ll need hundreds of them—an M-4 tank, equipped for Pacific fighting, costs $67,417 — landing craft must be supplied, guns and food and clothing—crushing Japan will be a big order, for us as well as for our fighting men!
