B. K. "In order la get official word we wrote immediately to his commanding officer '-L SUV fl4i 9Gi I 7V 'jf vSin lft $JA nn NAVIGATORS Recently commissioned as second lieutenants at the army air forces navigation school, Hondo, Texas, are, left to right, Frank Pannullo of 490 Ocean Parkway, Edward J.

Prendeville of 141 Guernsey Joseph M. Safierof 3100 Brighton 2d St. and Irwin Weiss of 1546 47th Sr. lor a report on his condition but never received a repiy. Why did he not answer my note? Is he not compelled to do so as a matter of military courtesy?" Primarily the all-absorbing Job of a commanding officer is to get liis company into condition for active service.

The usual C. O. tries to keep abreast of his mail, but there are only 24 hours in every day and some of the questions from the home folks are irksome. A commanding officer is not compelled to issue a special report to a man's family on his physical condition, or the progress he is making, or why he does not get a furlough, or why he was demoted, or why he was not recommended for officer's school, etc. Nor can he be expected to spend any time advising a soldier on his personal or love affairs, NO PERSONAL AFFAIRS There is little a commanding officer can do to comince a man that he should increase the amount of money he sends home.

The C. O. cannot order the soldier to change his insurance beneficiary from his mother to his wife or vice versa. As a matter of fact, he cannot force a soldier to take out any insurance, as these matters are entirely up to the man himself, As a rule the C. O.

urges his men to take full advantage of his Government insurance, and he wQl often talk to his men about the justice of sending an adequate allowance home, but the army and the navy take the stand that, in the last analysis, neither service can dictate a man's personal affairs. If a serious matter arises between the service man and his family, the better procedure is to write to the man's chaplain or to clear these matters through Red Cross channels. These fellows are far more experienced in handling personal robplems and less hedged by military regulations. The chaplain, by the nature of his position, acts in a confidential capacity and this is also true of the Red Cross field agent. If the man has stopped writing home to his family, or Is in some tort of trouble, by all means address those queries to the chaplain and not to his C.

O. It may happen that the service man is being recommended for some sort of promotion and a bitter letter from home may ruin his chances. ASIDES TO READERS: To E. D. H.

Nothing annoys a sincere C. O. more than a letter from a Congressman demanding an explanation of some disciplinary action. To C. E.

B. Don't believe those derogatory remarks you have heard about the Seabees. Ask any navy man. To HARRY McC. You cannot force your son-in-law to send you an allowance.

A stamped, addressed envelope will bring a personal reply. If you have a problem write to Richard Hart, care of this newspaper. THESE WOMEN! An Now an instructor, in the special training unit at New Cumberland, Sidney I. Tendler of 482 Sack-man St. has been promoted to corporal.
