After the outbreak of World
W ar II, Gay became a top officer
in armored divisions, which had
long since began supplanting horse

The amphibious landing that his
division made on the east coast of
Korea was no new experience for

at Pedala, North Africa, and lat-
er at Sicily, he was decorated for
bravery under fire.
In awarding him the silver star,
the army said Gay's bravery at
Casablanca—when he went throu-
gh enemy lines in an attempt to i
induce the enemy commander to j
surrender—must have "greatly im-
pressed hostile troops with the!
courage of Americans under fire." I

ple. All are trained medics, but
Ithey aren't sitting down in the
f . Id. They are learning how to de
f. nd themselves against an enemy,
tin! Dr. Hohf" is teaching them.
Kxample: Hohf called Pvt. Ar-|
thur Timaeu*. i'l, (1210 West
\ > i Temple, over.
"Look, Tiinaeus," Hohf said.
"What would you do if an enemy
came at you wit'i a knife while
v 'U were baiid^^ging a u numied
ioldier in the field?"
I imm us braced himself as the
doctor rushed him. Suddenly, the
chunky soldier grabbed Hohf's
'lUtatretched arm and turned his
hip. I."sing the Captain's momen-
tum as a propelling forc>^ he
twisted the doctor over and dump- j
ed him to the ground. A tiny dust
cloud arose, and when it cleared,
Titnaeus had the "knife"—a small
stick—in his hands.
The doctor said, "we are not
armed—we have to learn to pro-
tect ourselves with our heads and
"Ur hands."
He turned away and began the
game all over again with another
soldier.
That is the spirit of the 4!Kh. It
is a "hot" outfit.
Take Your Choice
Sitting around last Friday wa-
ning, the talk turned to the be t
way of getting to sleep when it
seems you just can't. "The way I
always do." says Sandy Johnson, "is
to breathe deep and make believe I
weigh a ton."
"Just throw away the pillow—it
works every time," says Buzz Ellis.
When counting sheep came up,
right away was the question: What
ki.nl of sheep?
From where I sit, you could ar-
gue 'til Doomsday and never get
complete agreement on a lot of
things. Now, take me. I'm all for
having a glass of beer or ale ei
occasion. Your "sociable beverage*"
may be a '-Coke"—or buttermilk or
maybe a cup of hot coffee.
But enjoying our preferences is
a right in this country and each of
us is entitled to his own. The im-
portant thing is to respect that
right in the true democratic spirit
of understandingAs a matter of
fact, what a tiresome old world this
would be if we all did have the same
