Jebe of the 335th Escort guards yesterday morning shinnied up the 90-foot flagpole in front of the MP headquarters and repaired the halyard that had broken down Thurs- day. Fireman Tomita got to the top of the pole on Thursday, but was unable to make the necessary re- pairs. He faltered several times during his ascent, but fi- nally reached the top, to the applause of the entire administrative personnel, who were out there,working up some good old stiff necks, watching Tomita. This was the second time that the halyard had to be fixed,the first time being in February of this year. Hiroshi Tadakuma,an ex- fireman now in training at Camp Shelby, made the cold and perilous climb then to make the repairs.

NAVAL CONTRACT WITHIN GRASP OF POSTER SHOP The center silk screen industry is within grasp of a goal set by Superin- tendent Maida Campbell more than two months ago--a Navy contract for the production of posters. Four different posters depicting motives for enlistment in the Navy are now being processed to be submitted for approval. The local industry be- gan its operations on May 31 at the request of the Navy department, and they have been in constant con- tact with the Washington and New York headquarters. "After two months of production work,the artists are doing professional work, while the apprentice artists have become ex- cellent technicians," says Superintendent Campbell. "The designing of these posters is entirely up to the crew, and they have been doing excellent jobs." Aside from agriculture, the silk screen project is Amache's only industry.
