BEST BET we know about takes place at the
non-commissioned officers club every Friday
night: all the catfish (plus potato salad) you
can eat for a buck. Topped off with a combo in
the main ballroom in mid-evening.
THOSE PRETTY BEANS you see sprouting around
some parts of the post are castors and they're
highly dangerous particularly to little children who
like to experiment with new tastes. Brown red and
white striped the beans produce symptoms similar
to flu if eaten.
LIONEL HAMPTON will be holding forth at
the Officers main mess on November 17 with $1
tickets on a first come basis.
TIME OFF for Veterans Day will come a few
days late for some Fort Hoodsmen but chances are
it won't make anybody mad. Ill Corps types who'll
be engaged in a field exercise on November 11 will
be insured compensatory time off on Monday No
vember 16 which means a long "holiday" in store
for participants.
WHO'D HAVE BELIEVED IT: The way the
Tankers topped the fire breathin' Fort Bragg
Dragons 21-0 last Saturday? Even the most
faithful Tanker booster wouldn't have expected
to whip one of the top service squads in the
nation by such a whopper!
HOOD IS SURELY PROVING its heart is in
the right place. We're now at better than 67.5 per
cent of the 100 per cent United Fund target. In
case you haven't pitched in your share how about
thinking of others for a moment this payday and do
your bit.

Credit Cards O. K.
-But Take Care
Since World War II buyers and sellers have made in
creasing use of credit. Much of this is extended on charge
accounts through the use of credit cards or charge-a-plates.
Look in your wallet or purse and chances are you will find
one or more credit cards for gasoline restaurants retail
stores or other charge accounts and even a telephone credit
card.
These credit cards are very convenient. They establish
your identity for the purpose of charging the purchase. This
means you can carry less cash and that you receive a
bill at the end of the month. You have a record of your
purchases to help budget your income or for tax purposes.
But beware! Your credit card can spell' trouble if it
falls into the wrong hands through loss or theft. If you read
the fine print on the card or on the application you sign to
get it you will realize how much responsibility you have
assumed.
Most important if you lose a credit card report the loss
immediately by phone or telegram to the company that
issued it. Follow this up with a letter and retain a copy of
the letter for your files. This will relieve you of responsibility
for charges run up on your card after the loss is reported.
Under the terms on which credit cards are usually issued
the company can hold you responsible for charges made after
your card has been lost or stolen but before the company is
notified. (AFPS)

ROYAL CORD
JACKET
TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER!
This |acket is obviously it. The tops. The end. The
last word in super-styling by that superlative h.i.s.
crowd! Crafted in a deep-cut wide-wale corduroy
the Royal Cord is just 27" long and zips up the front
to a stand-up collar. It's a potent combination of
corduroy and 100% wool knit on sleeves collar and
trim. And—the sleeves have the new flange flair
which gives the jacket a great new two-in-one look.
There a guilt lining throughout and wherever there's
knit it laminated to foam for exceptional light
weight warmth. Striking new colors 19.95

Ounce Of Prevention
AUTOMOBILE accidents know no season but during win
ter months the accident rate each year climbs because of
the adverse driving conditions and the unawareness of many
drivers.
Every serviceman who owns an automobile or has access
to one should be aware of. the added hazards and dangers
of winter driving and prepare for the months of snow sleet
rain and generally bad weather before if too late.
No fool proof formula has been devised to prevent auto
mobile accidents yet there are certain things a driver can
do before the bad weather sets in to greatly improve his
chances of being around for the spring thaw.
Automobiles should receive a complete check-up in
cluding an engine tune-up to assure easy starts on cold damp
mornings and a thorough check of the heating and defrosting
system.
In areas where snow is unlikely windshield wipers need
to be in perfect condition during the weeks of rain and driz
zle.
In areas where snow prevails snow tires or tire chains
are necessary for safe navagation on streets or highways.
An automobile's braking system should be in top-noteh
condition for the slick dangerous roadways during winter.
However all of these mechanical precautions mean little
if the driver completely disregards all sensible driving habits
and insists on writing his own rules. Many restrictions and
unfamiliar road signs are used during winter according to
the severity of the weather and a driver must be alert and
able to think and react fast.
Even in areas where winter is only a page on the calen
dar a good driver would do well not only to keep his auto
mobile in good running condition but to remain mentally alert
while driving- (AFPS)
