BRANCHES OF SERVICE, TO SAME FLORIDA CITY
MIAMI. Fla., July 25—Probably
no more than a pause in their re-
spective over-all war careers, near-
ly a dozen Abilenians nevertheless
have been brought together for the
present in this Florida city.
Most of them white-collar men
in Abilene’s business, professional
and political life before Pearl Har-
bor, they are now representatives
. of three .different military ser-
vices.
They have been in the service
from five to seven months, and
they show the rigors of military
discipline, training and duties they
have been through Well weaned
from their comparatively luxurious
civilian lives, many are now brown-

fortunes of this world holocaust

Musical Notes
BELLEVILLE, III., July 25—PL
The sheriff’s office is wondering
how to go about recovering some
85 000 worth of loot taken, in a re-
cent robbery of a carnival company
warehouse.
Three particular items have the
law puzzled: ‘14 a steam calliope:
(2) another steam calliope; (3) a

Miami, long famed as an inter-
national playground, has been con-
verted into a deadly intent hub of
war training and operations. Its
fabulously costly hotels are bar-
racks which hold no glamour for
the men in officers training. Its
private beaches and golf courses
feel the tramp of marching feet
throughout the daylight hours.
In Miami are the Seventh Naval
district and Gulf Sea Frontier
headquarters, from which are di-
rected the operations against ma-
rauding submarines from Mexico’s
Yucatan peninsula to Jacksonville;
the navy’s Sub-Chaser Turning
center, where ships’ crews are
trained to stalk U-boats; the Pan-
American Ferry command, and the
U. S Naval Air station, where new
navy flying officers are trained and
from which planes patrol the ocean
for subs.
