WEST. TEXAS. JANUARY 2, 1942.
Medical Detachment finds time
for play while serving country^
Government in Need
Of Stenographers
Aviation Cadets Train Here
(.Following Is a letter received
from the Athletic Committee, Med-
ical Detachment 143rd Inf., Camp
Bowie, Texas A goodly portion of
the boys In the detachment are
from West and their friends here
will be glad to learn of activity at
Camp Bowie )
Deal Friends:
These are grim days But still in
the grim days, we find time for
athletics. First, Is duty to our
country. Next, is recreation. Ath-
letics work In with the program, in
which to build up the bodies, and
too. In which to pass away amp:e
time.
Out in the Company street of the
Medical Detachment 143rd In-i
fan try, a group of boys huddled.
Out came the group with the in-
tentions of having a basketball
team for this Company. About a
week later they played a game and
overwhelmingly defeated their op-
ponents, So upon their good show-
ing, the Officers and the other men
combined and bought the team,
suits in which to play. To the pre-
sent date they have won three
games out of five, which is a good
showing thus far in the season.
See, it isn’t only playing ball for
the boys. It is drilling all day,
making inspection off and on, and
doing other duties as prescribed
them. But still, at night* they are
willing to play ball, to give the
Company a little honor on the sloe.
The boys on the team are as fol-
lows: Pvt George L. Bridson. Tens-
ing Michigan: Pvt. William H. Mc-
Morrough. Cpl. Walter R Kramolis,
The Government needs stenog-
raphers for Natonal defense. One
Is prone to think of National de-
fense in terms of soldiers, sailors
and marines. But there are many
types of defense work behind the
lines. A large army of civilian per-!
sonnel is now on duty as stenog-.
raphers In the Government ser-
vice to take the dictation of the
of executives and ad-
seribc it into typewritten docu-
ments. Some of ths material is of
lasting importance Some of it will
set Into motion Government events
of historical consequence. • |
It is estimated that the Govern- j
ment has approximately 85.000
stenographers, typists and secre-
taries 4m the payroll. Many young
men and women are responding to
the call Thousands more are need-
ad.
Aside from the present emer-
gency, the opportunities for stenog-
raphers In the Government service
are favorable. Good stenographers
are always in demand. The posi-
, tions pay $1,440 a year to start, with
a good chance for advancement to
positions of great responsibility,
such as secretarial positions, in the
case of those who have the ability.

the Civil Service Commission for
