Sale of 96.88 percent of the
stock in the New York Yank-

entire farm organization to
a syndicate headed by Lt.

will be discharged from the
Army effective February 10.
George Ruppert refused to
sell the remaining .”>.12 per-
cent in the team. Involved in
the deal besides MacPhail
are Capt. Dan Topping ot
Ihe USMC and owner of the
Brooklyn Dodgers in the
professional football league;
and Del Webb, millionaire

Colder Than Iceland!
Il was so cold at Bingham-
ton, N.Y., last week that the
oil in the weather vane of
the staton’s thermograph
congealed at the three deg-
rees below zero’ notch, and
prevented the weatherman
from taking a reading.

What Do You Read?
“We have had quite a hard
time getting
reading mat-
erial of any
kind so it fre-
quently re-
volves around
what there as-
to rea d,”
laughed GM2/C Robert Mc-
Cormick. When we have
them, I like to read the vari-
ous magazines like Liberty,
Pic, Life, Saturday Evening
Post, The Reader’s Digest
and Esquire. Needless to say,
we don’t see many of them
aboard ship. As for books,
I wish the folks at home
would realize the great need
for hooks aboard our ships—
brother, could we use some!”

Pvt. Monroe L. Kitchens
answered, “I
like ' western
stories. Zane
Grey is one of
my favorite
authors, I
think I’ve read
about every
hook lie has written. I also
like Max Brand -— another
western writer. I guess it’s
just because I’m from Texas
that I like them so well. I
read a few of the different
magazines when we get
them, hut I look for western
stories even in them.” Mon-
roe is from Waco, Texas, and
was a truck driver before
the war.
“Well,I’ll admit that I don’t
read many
books,” repli-
ed Pfc. Ora C.
Fox.“I like the
better maga-
zines though,
like Esquire,
The Reader’s
Digest and Life, when I can
get them. I like ’variety’ in
my reading — somehow, I
don’t feel like concentrating
on one hook very often.” Ora
is a former truck driver from
Monroe, Mich.
Pfc. Louis Kliment said,
“I read every
type of west-
ern story I can
get my hands
on. Well — I
don’t have any
favorite auth-
or. Just any
western story; they have
some/meat’to them! Inform-
ing too, for so many of them
are woven around the early
history of our own country.”
