The judges have started the ball
rolling. Now it’s every doggie to
his own taste in the search for
a “Command Sweetheart!”
Nine pictures of eye-filling
darlings — including two wives
who shall remain incognito until
the ballots are cast. To insure a
satisfactory choice, although they
all look good from here!, the en-
tire Command is invited to parti-
cipate in the final selection.
The deadline for voting is mid-
night Wednesday. In order to fac-
ilitate counting, it is urged that
units submit their ballots collect-
ively instead of dribbling indiv-
idual votes into The White Falc-
on Office.
The gals who romped through
the preliminaries are known to
voters only by number. But next
week the winner’s picture, full
name, address, “pulchritude di-
mensions,” etc., will be given a
prominent display, and then per-
haps a prize may be arranged
for the first wolf who pens a
letter to the leading choice.
Those now-famous judges had
a nerve-wracking session amid
photographs of every size and de-
scription before the finally found
enough courage to designate the
honored nine. The office was a
bedlam of excitement as each
judge campaigned for his favor-
ite, but after a few heated argu-
ments and persuasion here and
there the rebelling minority
swung into line.
One of the officials held out
for a likely looking dame who
wasn’t considered sufficiently
glamorous by his cohorts, but he
dropped his infatuation when
they informed him she was mar-
ried and the proud mother of
three or four kiddies. Still anoth-
er insisted that HIS choice was
prettier than her picture and
pleaded with The White Falcon
artist to paint a few beautious
strokes on the photo.
“Bashfulness and modesty
seem to be the only failings in
our Arts and Crafts contest,”
analyses Miss Doris Thain, Red
Cross Worker, as she proudly
displays some of the model pla-
nes, match stick mosaics, and
gas-can gadgets made by enter-
prising GI’s in an effort to show
just what can be done with
scraps plus spare time.
It seems, according to Miss
Thain, that the boys keep re-
porting that they have made
things, but they bashfully add,
“It just doesn’t seem good
enough!”
“And, all it takes in any one
of the 22 separate fields may be
one entry to win a first prize,”
Miss Thain encourages. She also
urges early submitting of gad-
gets and objects of craftsman-
But the artist wrapped his
right hand in bandages and in-
formed the die-hard that he
couldn’t wield a brush. That end-
ed that, and now the forlorn
judge has swung his affections
to one of the finalists.
He’s “sweating it out” now,
wondering if his dame has a
chance. So rush those ballots or
the poor ol’ gent will suffer a
nervous breakdown, and that
would be terrible, wouldn’t it?
ship so that it will help “the
bashful ones to come forward
with their contributions.”
Contest rules have now been
completed, and with complete
distribution to the SSO’s in each
unit, any prospective contestant
for a prize for his spare time
use of scraps can clear up any
doubts he may have. The only
real restriction is that the ob-
ject must have been made since
September 1.
Masons To Meet
Enlisted men who were Ma-
sons at home are cordially in-
vited to attend a reunion meet-
ing next Wednesday evening.
