when I have ever met people that
can make you feel you have
known them for years, . when in
fact this is only the first or second
time you have talked with them.
For instance Major Ralph N. Le-
one, who with his wife and daugh-
ter Peggy came over Saturday
evening and showed us a colored
film with sound of the great state
of Alaska, and of the base opera-
tions of the Startegic Command
Post of Omaha, Neb. and another
film of an air operation of Berg-
strom Field, Texas. All these are
released to those other than Air
Personnel. Then at church in the
base chapel Thanksgiving and
Sunday we again met those we
saw when on our last visit. It was
good to see Lt.Col. B. B. Gambel
and Mrs. Gambel, and to hear his
daughter sing a duet, fine young
ladies. We, my wife and I, went
to. a review of 1,000 of the troops
and met Col. Daniel V. McDonald,
Commander 4128th Strat Wing,
SAC, for the first time, but seem-
ed as we had known him before.
We remarked on the pleasant per-
sonalties of the officers, commis-
sioned and non-commissioned,
and on the pleasant personalties
of the men of the base. SMS Nor-
val Barker and wife came to visit
with us Sunday evening, a couple
of Arkansawers, good company.
From the foregoing you can see
we are enjoying our stay here.
However, it could be I think of the
wonderful Thanksgiving feed at

THE CASE OF
THE MESSY TENANT
• . I
Joe Dogood and his wife rented
their home to Joe’s cousin, John
Messmaker. The Dogoods were
planning to be .out of town for sev-
eral months, .and since Mr. Mess-
maker was. out of work and in
need of a place to house his fam-
ily, Joe rented their home at a
very reasonable figure. The Mess-
makers were very grateful and
promised someday to pay back
Joe and his wife.
When the Messmakers finally
moved out, they left the house in
a shambles. There were holes in
the walls, the furniture was tom
and broken, windows were broken,
doors were off their hinges, and
the house looked as if it had never
been cleaned.
The Dogoods asked the Mess-
makers to clean and repair the
house and furniture, but they re-
fused. They said that they were
only tenants, and such repairs
were the responsibility of the
property owners.
Can the Messmakers be made
to pay for the damage they caus-
ed?
The courts have generally held
that the tenants can be made to
pay for damages in such a case.
A tenant, even though bound by
no express agreement as to the
condition in which he is apt to
leave the premises at the end of
his tenancy, is nenvertheless un-
der a certain implied obligation.
He is impliedly obligated to so
use the rented premises that it
will be returned to the landlord in
the same general condition in
which it was rented, subject to
such general deterioration as is
caused by a reasonable amount of
use and lapse of time.
If, by the negligence of a ten-
ant, the rented property is mate-
rially injured, he is liable to the
