Soldiers who read the some 600 service papers in which the Army's Terry has appeared lapped it up, and yelled for more. But this week's strip may be the last. Unexpected trouble arose in December. The tabloid Miami Beach (Fla.) Tropics, a small daily civilian paper, was printing an Army sheet called "To Keep 'Em Flying" for the Miami Beach Air Force Schools.

...newspaper bug bit Alvin Wiehle during a long illness in 1940. At first he made just one weekly copy of his four-page tabloid, printing it by hand in pencil. This year he began to dream of expanding, printed a suggestive notice on Page Two: "Washington, Sept. 14-For his birthday and Christmas, Alvin wants a mimeograph duplicator. . . ." Later Alvin roared gleefully to press with a Monday "extra" proclaiming: A. w. HAS DUPLICATOR-His three older sisters (he has four sisters and two brothers...
