This week’s orchids go to Mrs.
Glenn Clay-bourn for the brand new
tennis not given to the Junior High
School. We were really proud to re-
ceive the net as we hail sent several
orders to the different Sporting
Goods stores and the reply always:
We do not have any in stock.
Thanks Mrs. Claybourn we think
you’re SWELL.
We understand Mr. Ed Barrett
is making us a tennis net and we
want to thank him for his thought-
fulness. It will come in handy too,
as wp need a volley ball net. Thanks
Mr. Barrett.
Today, Monday, is six weeks’
exam day and from the desperate
looks of some, it might pay to
start studying the first week in-
stead of waiting until the last week
of the six week’s period.
The Carnival Queen race started
Wednesday, October 3. All candi-
dates will run until the last week,
Friday, October 19, at 4 o’clock ami
then the 3 highest will run until

fleet on the topside of the water
after that day. Our boys got more
hits on the ships including the old
ISE and the cruiser OABA. And
"Is that in the rule book?"
Whether it’s iootball or business, Americans
expect fair play all down tke line.
In football, the referee is there to see that the
game is played according to the rules. But he’s
not supposed to»run with the hall.
In business, the referee is the government,
which establishes regulations for fair practices.
But when government goes into business and
competes with its own citizens, the American
tradition of fair play is set aside. The referee
then becomes a player, and he enjoys advan-
tages that are denied to aluhe other players in
the game.
Take government-owned electric power sys-
tems, for example. They pay little or no taxes.
When they need money, they call on the U. S.
Treasury and get it at little or no interest. If
they have losses, why worry? You, as a tax-
payer, will take care of that.
Business-managed power systems, on the
other hand, do not have these special privileges.
They pay their full share of taxes, pay fair in-
terest on any loans.
Fortunately for you and your tax bill, over
80% of all the electric power in this country
is produced by tax-paying, self-supporting elec-
tric companies, owned and operated by several
million folks like you.
And how well are these companies doing
their job?
Electricity is still available at low pre-war
prices. There was enough to meet even the
gigantic demands of war. And there will be
plenty to give you greater comfort and con-
venience in the electric living of the post-war
world.

fighters again found a little air-
borne work in dispatching four
Jap seaplanes out for a morning
ride. We moved a little east and
hit the airfields and industrial in-
stallations in the NAGOYA Area
on the 30th. Admiral Sprague sent
a special “Well Done" to our Air
Group for the day’s work. They
destroyed or damaged 56 planes.
We had all the big carriers looking
up to us that day. When I say
we’’ I mean the whole ship too;
and you would understand what I
mean if you could see all the boys
working like beavers getting those
planes on and off the deck, loading
them and re-arming them, am!
keeping them in fighting trim.
Three Jap reconnaissance planes
came out to sec the Task Force
that day and went the way of all
the rest of the world’s champion
“One Flight Air Force.’
We retired for a long Test then,
while we refueled and moved out
to let a typhoon go by. But on
the 8th of August Admiral Halsey
started us in again and we hit air-
fields on Northern HONSHU on
the 9t hand 10th. In one month
we had freely ranged over the en-
tire Empire’s home islands, and it
was beginning to tell on the Japs,
We all were happy about the suc-
cesses of the B-29’s and the new
atomic bomb. That, along with the
Russians joining the war made
things look pretty bad for the Jap.
On the 11th we retired to re-
fuel again. I think I should take
time to write here that wc in the
Fast Carrier Task Force really ap-
preciate the men in those support
groups. They come almost as near
the enemy as we do, bringing us all
the supplies of war (and that all-
important mail from home) and
they get very little glory for it,
mostly just hard work.
Anyway, we ran back into the
Tokyo launching area on the 13th
with rumors about the Japs sur-
rendering kept us close to our ra-
dios when we had a spare minute.
Our pilots hits planes and factor-
ies again, and helped urge the
surrender closer. The Japs weren’t
willing to die without one blow,
however, and the Fleet had its
busiest day of the cruise shooting
down Jap attackers. We stayed at
battle stations most of the day, and
21 Nips were downed by planes
and anti-aircraft fire before night
came. Our Combat Air Patrols
did most.of that work, so we could-
n’t add any more notches to our
guns—but every plane that flew by
got a good looking over.
We were back again in the area
on the 15th and I suppose you re-
member reading how we had to halt
our attack when the wonderful news
of thp surrender came through. But
it seems that the Japs didn’t get
the word as well as we did, becauso
four of our fighters shot down six
Jap fighters over the target that
morning gnd another single at-
tacker near the Force thut after-
noon. At least five more were shot
down around us, and that made the
Inst day a busy one. But we have-
n’t seen any more of them since
that afternoon and we hope those
were the last we’ll see unless we
find one on a visit to Japan or take
our grundchildren down to the lo-
cal museum some day and show
them what Grandpappy did in the
Big War. Sincerely,
Tommy Caffall.
