Here four of Amherst's sailors at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station are ordering one for each. Left to right, they are: George Gordon, second class electricians mate; Paul R. Gressler, A. S.; Richard Logan, A. S., and Herbert Morris, A. S. We didn't get the name of the happy young lady. It's wash day in the lower left hand picture, with Logan applying the scrubbing brush to a blouse while Morris laughingly looks on.

' For the first time since their enlistment four Amherst sailors were together at the Great Lakes iaval Training Station Sunday, sept. 6th. That may seem strange u those who have never visited tne station, or had an opportunity 10 go all over it, but after spending about six hours riding around 11 in an automobile you begin to get some conception of its immense size and the reason men lrom the same town never come in contact With each other. The four Amherst sailors who were together on that day were George Gordon, 2nd class electrician's mate; Paul Gressler, Uichard Logan and Herbert Morris. Two others from Amherst, Raymond Hollingsworth and Vincent Mannion could not be located by the public relations office, ihey may have been on leave. With Ensign II. W. Hopwood as our escort, we toured the station, picking up the Amherst boys as we went along. These four local young men very gladly served as models whenever a picture was to be taken. ELEVEN CAMPS The amount of new construction at Great Lakes since the United States entered the war is amazing. The station now ex-lends on both sides of the railroad tracks, and is divided into eleven camps, each a complete unit in Itself. Under a new authorization this is to be enlarged 50 percent. You begin to get some idea of the size of the place from the statement of Ensign Hop-wood, who, at one point of our tour, said we were three and half miles from the place we started from. A camp consists of 18 barracks, a dispensary, messhall, cooks' quarters, drill hall and physical training building. Because our visit happened on Sunday there was no drilling or work in the shops.

Robert Decker, Donald Bechtel and Leo Borowicz received release from the Obcrlin Draft Board and enlisted in the U. S. Navy. The Draft Board reported that the 20 age group are receiving their first physicals in Obcrlin at the present and will undoubt edly be part of the October call. One other call is required for September and it will include a colored group. CANCELLATION Appointments previously made for correction of questionnaires at the Oberlin Draft Board for Friday evening have been cancelled due to the Obcrlin-Elyria football game.

The entrance building is designed and is operated along the line of an automobile assembly line. The raw recruit enters still in his civilian clothes, and comes out fully garbed as a sailor. A full naxy company is taken in at one time and they stand at a desk where they fill in certain forms. The desk is numbered and that number remains with them thru- out this part of the entrance into the navy.

The Amherst club will go into the game with but three scrimmages and eight days of practice behind it. The team is not big with the exception of two or three boys who have not yet shown the inclination to play first string ball, nor is it fast outside of one man. It is the smallest squad in recent years, only 36 boys reporting for suits. The effect of the small squad will not become ap parent until another season rolls around and half of the present group has been graduated. , This year's starting outfit is not definitely known at this writ ing but will be chosen from the following: ends, Brumbach, Van Nuys, Muniga, .

At this time Hogrefe, Miller, Slack, Penton, and Mihuta are doubtfull starters due to one ailment or another. The team is, however, toming around in rather good shape for the short time that the boys have been working. Their offense has looked both good and bad in practice with passing being the weak link. Defensively, the whole team is a question mark. Perhaps by game time they will have their defensive assignments. down, but the time is so short that a choice was necessary and offense got the nod. The league season is three weeks away and by then they'll be ready. In the meantime' they've a pretty rough gang in the Elyria team, which is theReserve-Freshman squad combined.

The letter was dated Sept. 5th, and signed by Herbert S. Marks, acting chief of the power branch. In part, the letter read: "The principal concerns of the Power Branch in the electric field are the assurance of an adequate power supply for war production and the conservation of critical materials by the electric industry. We have no direct Interest in rate questions, and have neith- the staff with which to make rate investigations, nor the authority to enforce rate orders." The letter said it was not the intention of the War Production Board to prejudice any municipality in the matter of rates as the result of curtailment of materials, and referred the village's request to the Ohio Public Utill- ties Commission which has jurisdiction over utility rates. The village's contract with the Ohio Public Service . Co. for wholesale electric current ex pired in July, 1940. Before the expiration the power company wrote the village asking for a new contract, but council refused to deal with the company. When the contract expired the O. P. S. began charging the village at its open rate. The rates were on file at the commission at the time they became effective.
