Camp Witek. Guam, M. I.—It only happens once out of every 639.000 times. And this time it happened to a Marine who was whillng away a balmy Sunday afternoon in a Staff Xon-Commissionpd Officers' Club at the First Provisional Ma-rine Brigade on Guam.

Typically, it was Just another friendly game of cribbage, just something to pass the time away. At least that was the way it start-ed out. The two Marine master sergeants involved had spent many

j leisure moments playing cribbage. And up until the last han<l of the game, things were going accord-ing to schedule.

Then Master Sergeant George Henby dealt Master Sergeant Mark C. Belon the last hand. Henby was ahead at the time, needing only three points to win. while Belon needed 28 points. Henby had the game in the bag. or so everyone thought.

Belon did not know that from the six cards Henby dealt him—the jack of clubs, five of diamond , five of hearts, five of spades and two other capls—would come the win-ning combination and the perfect cribbage hand.

He discarded the two incidental cards to the crib and cut the pack. Henby nonchalantly turned over the top card. It was the five of clubs.

In a burst of joy, Belon spread his cards on the table and called for everyone In the room to "Look at my hand!" Everyone In the club at that time did look—and they took a good lock at the hand that appenrs only once out of every 639.00 bands of cribbage dealt. No one In the house had ever seen a perfect hand before but they all knew what It was.

The perfect hand which gave Belon 29 points and the game

'shows is "Leave !t To tfco Girls"! that is heard on Friday evenings at

'8:30. If you are skeptical, Just j give a listen some Friday evening , and see what we mean.

Saturday night is one night in the week that you can plan on a wealth of entertainment from your radio if you don't have a party to attend and wonder Just what to do. Look at this line-up of shows: Beginning at 8:00 o'clock, it's "Twenty Qaestion—one of radio's outstanding Qui* shows. At 8:10, if you're in the mood for a bit of Jump anr* Jive. l*nd an ear to the "Hospitality Clab." At 9:00 o'clock, the show that features your gags comes on the air when you hear "*top» Ms If Yoa*ve Heard This Oae." At #:S0, right after "Stop Me," another hit show comes on titl«d -What's the Name of That Song." At ten o'clock the one and only "Professor Quiz" takes over. At ten-thirty, it's a half-hoar of music by one of the nation's top orchestras when you "Meet the Band." At eleven o'clock, another of the country's leading orchestras takes over, followed at 11:15 by a program of memory songs by Mor-ton Downey . . . and to top off Saturday evening, at 11 &0, you're invited to dance te the Basic of another of the nation's leading orchestras when you attend the -Saturday Night Dancing Party."

That's what we mean by a "solid" evening of radio entertainment

just a few things among many that help us to serve you . . . better.

You know, whether it's in a de-partment store or at a Xmas party, most youngsters somehow manage to catch a glimpse of Santa "in the flesh" and perhaps tell him per-sonally what they want for Christ-mas. However, the kids living in the Isolated communities on Ocra-coke Island and Cape Hatteras may not have had such good fortune in the past. For that reason. WMBL is looking forward, with a great deal of pleasure to flying Santa Claus down there to those kiddies and giving them tlye thrill of their lives.

More news in the WTNDSOCK next week, folks! In the mean-time. don't forget that "life beeins at 7-forty!!"

Have You Met—

Albert W. Jowdy, Sr., Fire Chief, Cherry Point Fire Department.

We asked Mr. Jowdy to place himself in time and space for read-ers of this page. To tell who you are Is a tough assignment, as any-one knows who ever wrote an auto-biography or got arrested.

Jowdy gave the subject some though and replied that he Is sev-eral people.* ••Sometimes," he said, "I am Mrs. Jowdy's husband, and at other times I'm the Daddy of Rudy. Helen, or Albert, J t . , or the brother of Mike. I have- been re-ferred to as 'the man in the red car that works all hours of the night and day*. I don't know just who I am! However, I do know who I was.

"I was a baby, schoolboy, high school student and college gradu-ate In North Carolina—a true 'Tar Heel". I was a business man in a mercantile pursuit, but this was too dull so I became s volunteer fireman, and later Fire Chief, of the New Bern Fire Department. In my 'spare* time, I was a restaur-ant owner and operator, but this project failed due to—of all things —fire! My cafe was a total ruin before the Fire Department could do any good due to the Inadequate water supply."

"This brings us up to 1942 at which time I organized the Cherry Point Fire Department. I have been told it is one of the best of its kind anywhere in the United States and I feel this is due to the splendid co-operation of all of the Fire De-partment personnel.

"Right now I am a man with a lot of accumulated annual leave to use up. have a daughter working at Navy Supply, a son at Notre Dame University ana another son who is a post-graduate student at the University of North Carolina. I am a fellow who loves baseball, wants to go fishing all year 'round, who cant get a new car, who smokes too many cigarettes, who is 47 years 'young' and who is tired talking about himself."

For the further interest of our readers, we add that the Chief Is a member of the North Carolina Fire Chiefs Association as well as a member of the International Association of Fire Chiefs. He was recently reelected to an active membership on the Board of Gov-ernors of the New Bern Volunteer Fire Department. Until recently he maintained his home in New Hern, but now lives In "Splinter-ville". He says this being close to his work is a lot better—espec-ially when a fire alarm rings j around 3 A. M. Asked about fur- ' ther "hobbies". Mr. Jowdy said his j main and most important hobby was the prevention of fires and the training of men to carry on this most important work.

Cherry Point . N. C.. Dec. 5—Un-beaten in four s t ra igh t games, the Charleston Navy Hospi ta l cage quintet tonight lost to the Cherry Point "F lyers" , 51-34.

The locals stepped off on t h » right foot, notching four points be-fore the vis i tors dropped any points th rough the hoop. 'For the re-mainder of the ini t ial qua r t e r it looked as though the Navy crew might give the " F l y e r s " a good batt le . However , with f o r w a r d s Joe Wasser and Fred "Shor ty" Fenn . and cen te r J e r r y Gelsler finding the r a n g e in the la ter per-iods. the South Carol inians never were in the runn ing .

The game in itself could not be classed as a "good" game. Cher ry Point , us ing the i r f a s t b reak and man- to-man defense, w a s t h e bet-ter conditioned team and a f t e r the first q u a r t e r they r an the Char les-ton team ragged.

Big "Moose" Kaahle . 210-pound 6*3" cen te r for Charleston was the evening's "big noise" on the floor, pouring six points th rough the ne t s in the first half and 15 m o r e in the final 20 minutes for a 21 point total . Joe Wasse r annexed high point honors for Cherry Point with n ine m a r k e r s .

The " F l y e r s " were back at fu l l s t reng th again tonight wi th the r e tu rn of Tom Bar t le t t . who saw l i t t le act ion last night aga ins E C.T.C. due to a bruised knee. All of last year ' s ve teTans—Bar t le t t Fred Miller. Dick Huxtable , J e r r y Gelsler. "Sho r ty " Fenn . "Doc"

Flynn. Claude Vaught and Bud Leo-cha—saw action, and by the tin* the game was over, coach Joh: Lomac had cleared the bench
