The White Falcon - 21.11.1942, Blaðsíða 5

fi
Why is it that Uncle Emil, our
PX Steward, has to stand around
and think when one asks him
how much beer he’s going to put
out in the evening.
When it comes to playing Tong,
our 1st Sgt. Baker really can col-
lect the cash. Although he says
that he has never played this
game before, we all think differ-
ently.
The days may come and the
days may go, but our Mess Sgt.
Kordalewski, has one better for
each day. To cut a long story
short, if he doesn’t think in the
future, he won’t have any kitch-
en left. So now when the Supply
Sgt. issues anything to the kitch-
en, he issues it out on a MR.
Corp. Kason.
Fellows, the next time you see
“Porky” Sumner, Corp. Sumner
to most of you guys, ask him if
he remembers the party he went
to in the mess hall. It was really
the next morning that Sumner
felt the worst!
What was it that Pvt. Therlow
Dull said when he received word
that his girl-friend was married?
Boy, we didn’t know that Dull
had such a vocabulary.
We are all beginning to wonder
why Sgt. Wildenhaus hasn’t been
on pass since Corp. Reid left.
Could it be that he misses his
big bodyguard?
Pfc. William Maynard is the
name of that busy little guy who
works for Staff Sgt. Schoellman.
Just ask him sometime why he
never says much, and here is the
answer you will get: “Sgt. Scho-
ellman makes enough noise for
the both of us!”
T/5G. Merrill T. Hamilton.
This organization should not
suffer from lack of entertainment
now that we.have discovered that
Corp. Rolan Amis has talent for
singing. The other night he was
on pass and went to a get-togeth-
er, and he actually lead the sing-
ing with “Deep in the Heart of
Texas” as his favorite.
Corp. Childers, have you been
keeping in shape for your block
and. tackle plays ? Everyone is
glad to see Pfc. Jack Hinkle back
from the hospital.
Corp. Orland H. Parsons.
Pfc. Paul F. Varalla has finally
decided to crash the social light
and is starting to make a hit
with one of .the local girls. Good
luck, Paul! .
Pfc. g. Rogers.
Those attending the chills and
• thrills of ths Halloween Party,
at the Ree. report having a swell
time. We wonder why some of
those attending, with their lovelies
were so interested in the Palm-
istry sections. Are you trying to
find out whether she.has been
.tow or, not?
There will not be much chance
of argument about who is who
among the curlylocks, with Huey,
the barber, clipping them to re-
gulation length again.
Some of the shacks are begin-
ning to shine under those paint
brushes wielded by our near-
twins Pvts. Piton and Pack. We
are wondering though why they
don’t put more of it on the walls
than on themselves.
Staff Sgt. Kazee, who is in
charge of our culinary artists, has
settled down among us again after
hob-nobbing with the elite of
London Town. We wonder if he
wrote home about every little
thing.
We hear our local dance artist
has developed a mania for his
bunk lately since he has been on
a few of the late details. Some
of the other men have been able
to get caught up on some sleep
too, since this has occured.
We defy any Hollander to
match some oPthe masterpieces
turned out by our men in their
production of wooden shoes.
A certain party before his
promotion to Corp. was on pass
quite often. It seems the 1st Ser-
geant has cramped his style
though with the Guards and
C.Q.’s. Cheer up, H.L., it all goes
with those stripes.
T/4G. Profitt along with Pvts.
Griffith and Warner are sojourn-
ing in the hospital. Pvt. Lester
came back again after having
been relieved of an aching molar.
Pvt. Shelby F. Rinehart.
Rosey Ramblings:
All nite long: Sgt. Warren,
“Shine up, police up, get on line”;
Corp. Talar, “Oh give me a fire,
a great big fire”; Mr. Sgt. Reik,
“Why doesn’t he finish that? I
mean the ‘Rise of Reik’.”
Sgts. Jones, Lenn, Cummins,
and Stillscon have at last met
their match in the moustache-
growing contest. The winnah:
Corp. Petty. My congrats, too,
champ.
Sgt. Casad can now boast of
his men. First on line, first on
fatigue and first in the mess hall.
Great things are expected of
our new sax man, Pfc. Freels.
“Tex” not only honks a mean
tenor, but sets the style in the
latest of “zoot” suits. He says,
“Me and Tiny aint nuthin’ but
cats.” Nuthin’ is right!
Pvt. H. E. Rosen.
We fellows are more than glad
to have our CO back with us
again after losing him to the
hospital for awhile.
A proud father in our area is
Sgt. Mitchell Bailey; so the boys
are looking forward to the Cig-
ars in celebration of a baby girl
horn to. Mrs. Bailey a few weeks
ago.
Sgt. R. H. Thompson.
With 1st Lt. Lawrence ?5. Le-
land. taking command in the ab-
sence of Gapt. Norman J. Harris,
our organization still is getting
along splendidly.
Our Sunoly Sgt.. Staff Sgt. GIM-
-ece Couch, has Just fcompleted
AO School.,
Pvt. Leonard Pettyjohn seenja
to be well satisfied, now that
he is back driving a truck.
•Pvt. Harry A. Sipple who was
transferred recently is a frequent
visitor around here.
Sgt. Melvin E. Dinser.
I wonder why Maynard is al-
ways going to town so much —
loosen up, Maynard, we would
like to get on the good side of
her too.
Troy E. Ellington.
Pfc. Zimmel has changed his
name; when indorsing any signa-
tures of importance, he just signs
Jug. It seems that Pfc. Bittig is
getting his shoes polished up;
could it be that he is having
illusions?
We want to extend our con-
gratulations to Staff Sgt. Aaron
T. Howard who has been promot-
ed to Sgt. Major. Staff Sgt. Popio-
lek has returned from the hospi-
tal; we are glad to see you back,
Sgt.
Tech. Sgt. Martin and Sgt. Gray
are harmonizing the old, but pop-
ular, song of not so far back.
How long will it last?
Pfc. Matt D. Ilich.
qURRTERITlRSTER
The Dart game must be right
down English’s alley. He has
bought a set of darts with his
own dough. I hope they dart in
the right place (ouch!).
That request for opening pack-
ages in the orderly room sure has
reaped plenty of edibles for the
boys and makes the place their
hang out. Sgt. Harris split his
fudge, Pvt. Pfeiffer had to give
up his cookies, and in general
the delicacies don’t last long
when the wolves get their gand-
ers into those packages.
What with T5/G. Birnbaum re-
ceiving all those magazines, our
supply room is fast taking on the
look of a public library. The lat-
est “Esquire” is a pip. That pict-
ure of Rita is a honey. Sgt. Ros-
enthal has first claim on it, how-
ever.
The smiles and greetings that
Mail Orderly Pfc. Grahn gets are
the result of his getting the boy’s
mail to them on time.
Loney Mahureen roust be in
love to walk five miles to mail a
package to some one back home.
He sure picked a swell day for
his daily hike.
The package that Pfc. Boyd sent
home was outweighed by the
number of stamps he put on it.
T/5G. Kelley, the boy with the
golden Irish smile, gave the boys
a lesson in Black Jack. He sure
did wield a- heavy stick.
Corp. Leman.
The writer was fortunate
enough to be present at the Prem-
ier Performance of “Post No. 1”,
which played to a ve~y good audi-
ence. “Post No. 1” Is no doubt
a§ good as many shows we have
seen in New York and Chioago.
Every man of the Command
ought to see this very fine pres-
entation written, staged and act-
ed by the soldiers of this Com-
mand.
T/4G. Nicholas Shaheen should
feel quite honored since a great
number of the boys would like
him to bfi their Chaplain. I do
believe some of the boys have
written their families regarding
this matter.
Our dance was a huge success,
and every one enjoyed the music
and refreshments. Tech. Sgt. (Ad-
miral) Hewitt has never told us,
but we believe he must have been
one of Fred Astaire’s instructors.
Best of wishes to Mr. Sgt. Ila-
mor and T/5G. Wallace oq their
new successes.
Staff Sgt. Frank D. Smith, Jr.
Who is the shiek with the well-
oiled hair who thinks that a pass-
word is something a soldier says
to a girl when she passes?
When our Corp. Spears from
the hills of Virginia received a
long awaited letter and package
of victrola records from his lady
love, he did an Indian War dance.
Are you lonesome and in need
of some of the noise that is ever
present in your old home town?
See Pfc. Reynolds. If he isn’t
playing his phonograph, he is
singing songs of his own design,
or else just making a racket.
It seems that our old postman,
“Clark Gable” Lattanzio, the man
who lives, eats, and dreams of
the post office, is really serious
this time. From all reports, he is
now trying to get into the “V”
Mail section, f
Have you ever seen a porter
with a delicate little finger? Well,
we have one. Pfc. Greco, the man
who sees that our latrine and
washroom is always clean, al-
ways has the little finger on his
right hand pointed straight out.
We have a new man-about-
town in this organization. Pvt.
Wasserman has displaced and far
excelled any one who has ever
claimed to hold this title. If any-
one is interested in finding him,
write, and we will send you his
office hours. T/5G. Stern.
Lovely Ginny 8imms, former
songbird with Kay Kyser’s band,
now entertains Servicemen on
her own radio show. /

Thanks to our CO and Detach-
ment Commander, we expect to
have our super-gym, boasting a
basketball court and hot show-
ers, finished sometime this
week.
Why is it that Sgt. Bleck re-
fuses to buy a knitting needle,
and has to have Sgt. Davis stooge
for him? Were there too many
women in the store? Where is
that old personality, Johnnie?
You aren’t letting those rubber
sandwiches get you down are

Has anyone noticed the 100%
improvement in the appearance
of the Officers and EM; pressed
