STEVE WEST WIN'S pass allowed him to leave the convalescent center at two-thirty p. m. He boiled. He'd be late. Ensign Davis, the paper on the bulletin board read, challenged the winner of the center's golf tournament. At two p. m. at the Level Hill Country Club. Steve breezed out the gate and fumed until the bus came along and he clambered in. He griped about the situation to the bus driver as they rolled over the warm southern countryside. "Always you have to do business with some red tape winder behind a desk," he growled. "I won the tournament, fair and square. I accepted this Navy upstart's challenge for today at two o'clock. The recreation committee sent word I'd be there. Then they gave me a pass to leave at twothirty! Don't they want the honor , of the Army upheld?" "Maybe it's part pf the idea to keep you boys relaxed. Not in a hurry," the bus driver said, seeking soothing words. •- "How's your boy ?,r-Steve asked. ' "Had a letter yesterday. Still in the Pacific," the man said. Steve had had no experience in that theater of operations." He bad eaten desert dust, and moved on until he was tagged for shipment in the other direction--Anzio. A pretty bad arm, but they did a neat reconstruction on it. He blessed them for that. When he won the tournament oh the center's course, he knew he'd be goihg back some day to professional golf. s Now this Navy challenger, this pretender to the golf crown between the convalescent center and the Naval Hospital nearby -- well, Steve was confident. The bus ground to a stop at the country club. "Keep your left el-, bow straight and watch the ball," said the driver, whose loyalty was with the Army. "I'll win even with a cannon ball," Steve assured him. He wore brown flannels and hoped the Navy would be in exercise clothes too. He looked at his wrist watch. Three-fifteen. It. might be too much to expect the Navy to Be there at all. Extensive inquiry at the clubhouse brought Steve no knowledge of the presence or whereabouts of Ensign Davis. He decided the center would have to send a formal apology for his lateness and went out to the first tee alone. The course looked inviting.^* He played good golf to the sixth hole. A girl, also alone, was leaving the green ahead. Steve holed out and walked to the next tee. The girl had driven. She was halfway down the fairway, searching the ditch against the fence. Steve waited. Then he skipped his own drive and walked down. "Lose something?" he called, grinning, as he approached her. "The ball. The only one I had. One measly repaint job and I lost it!" She brushed long blonde hair from her face. Steve looked hard for the b«ll. He locked at the girl the same way. He stopped grumbling to himself about missing the play-off. They couldn't locate the ball. Steve produced one and bounoed it on the fairway. "Use this," he offered. "Thanks," the girl said. "I was playing better than I expected. Then I put this drive into the fence. That's what happens when you stop concentrating." " * "I know," Steve said. "Play much golf?" she asked. Steve said he did, but hadn't until lately. No use being a bore about his pro efforts. He couldn't completely suppress curiosity about how this girl played the game, however. But the way she looked in a gray skirt and yellow bloAse would justify any performance. It turned out that her game was up to her looks. That was apparent in the first shot she made with an iron straight to the green. She sank the first putt. At the ninth hole she said, "I'll play you through to the eighteenth. That is, if I don't lose the ball." "You'd better not," Steve jibed. It was Ellen and Steve between them now. Neither one remained more than two strokes up on Ijhe other for very long. Steve was playing briskly and enjoying the companionship as well as the sport: At the seventeenth they were even. Steve held out his hand. "Last hole, Ellen. May the best girl win." Her smile was very warm, and they pliyed the final strokes carefully Three apiece to the green. Ellen canned out in one- putt.. Steve watched her fondly. A great partner, he thought. He took two. That's what happens when you stop concentrating, Steve thought, as they sat in the nineteenth hole with a pair of frosty glasses. But it had been, a pleasure to see her .win. He was wondering how to ask her for a date. "It was fun," Ellen said. "I'm not angry at that soldier for not showing up. Ensign Ellen Davis had her game anyway." "Who's that?" Steve asked, near- ' ly dropping his glass. "That's me. I'm a WAVE at the Naval Hospital." Steve decided he wouldn't tell Ensign Davis who lost the play-off until she saw him in uniform when they had the data made With him then. Hi HIGH . T&e cross-examinattae had been .unusually sever*, but the district attorney had one mora question to ask before dismissing the witness. "Mr. Dixon," he caustically demanded, "how many attempts have been made to have you tell a different story than £he one you just told the court? And who were the people who made those attempts?" The answer was prompt. "Several people tried to make me see thin their way, but you have been the most persistent by far." x TAKE IT EAST1; HSA? 0' iw puunnwo TOO Stranger--You raise nothing but hogs around here.

"It takes a heap o' livin' to make a house a home, but it takes a heap at planning, too!" say convalescent soldiers in the home planning chases at" the AAF Regional and Convalescent hospital, at Coral Gables, Fla. / The classes are a feature of the Convalescent Serviaes division , of the hospital to acquaint prospective GI homebuilders with problems of home planning, financing, site selection, water supply, building materials, drainage, wiring, heating and taxes.
