He was promoted to the rank of brigadier general on June 20, 1942, when he was named the commanding general of the second cavairy brigade at .Fort Bliss, Texas, and two months later assigned as assistant division comâ€" mander of the 103rd infantry divâ€" ision, an organization with which he served until his present assignâ€" ment. The USOâ€"Salvation Army at 346 Waukegan avenue, Highwood, has closed its doors. Sadly the manager, Maj. Ira Fitzpatrick, put up the sign "Closed." Sadly the many servicemen, who have found this center a cheerful, quiet, homeâ€" like place in ~which to spend their leisure hours, turn away. plaining the setâ€"up. A senator and a congressman have added their request that the unit be continued. A strong appeal from Fort Sheriâ€" dan, itself, from both officers and men, has been ignored. Thesé men have done everything within their power to bring about a reversal of orders. As one man put it, "My home lies 900 miles from here. But the ~minute I step inside these doors, that 900 miles melts awayâ€" I am at home." " Most of his military career has been spent in the cavairy. He is a graduate of the Cavairy school at Fort Riléy, Kans., the special advanced equestrian course, Comâ€" mand and General Staff school, Air Corps Tactical school and Army War college. He served with the 26th cavairy in the Philâ€" ippine Islands from September 1937, to December 1939.

Of late the patronage of the unit has increased steadily, due to the returin of overseasâ€" geterans â€" men who need and seek a place to rest, relax, read, write letters, work in the fine hobby shop or renew their contact with civilian life as gradually as they desire. _ Unfortunate it is that the deâ€" cision toâ€" close these doors lies with those too far away to grasp the significance of the situationâ€" the need of a special concession in the case of a town adjoining a large military post.

Early in November, the 108rd relieved the 8rd division in the Vorges mountains of France, and immediately went into action that took them as far as the Siegâ€" fried line. It is with keen regret and exâ€" pressions of gratitude to all who have assisted the staff in maintainâ€" ing this center so ably, that the doors close. _ And it is no wonder that friends and patrons of the unit are of divided minds as to just why, in the face of existing conditions, this must be done.
