ters, or where finesse is needed
in asking the wife for money,
we recommend getting in touch
with Brenden Redmond of our
unit. There’s a man with a wick-

Bill Clausen is the nearest
thing to an Icelander wearing an
American uniform. When he con-
verses with the local citizens—
many of them pretty stulkas—
fluently in Icelandic, his bud-
dies just stand around and won-
der what he’s talking about.
Sgt. Don Groth.
Our recent party was a howr-
ling succes. Not only were we
entertained by our own prides,
M/Sgt. Hy Feinberg, Sgt. Lou Gil-
bert, Pfc. Brewer and the Air
Force band, but we were lucky
enough to have on hand Reta
Shaw, the Red Cross’ “Sophia
Tucker.”
Sgt. Samuel Kopp.
Suds flowed liberally when we
inaugurated our new recreation
hall this week. It has been named
the Malcolm S. Taylor Hall, in
honor of the late S/Sgt. Taylor.

S/Sgt. Dwyer has been enjoy-
ing the mail service lately. What
writh receiving bills, circulars and
how-to-learn-welding-in-ten-easy
-lessons, his mail outnumbers any
two fellows in the unit.
Pvt. Mastin and Cpl. Wilson
have mastered the technique of
jeep driving so well that they
now are contemplatinlg midget
race driving or a “jeep cab” cor-
poration when they return to the
States.

It was actually overheard: Pfc.
Wacikowski to T/Sgt. Didgeon,
“Do you think that you can get
me some Air Force insigna-
tures?”

Solomon carried for “the gal

A group of U.S. fliers in Sicily lampooned pin-up girls when
they selected Mary Elliot as their squadron’s “Chin-up” girl.
“Pin-ups are just decorative, but a ‘Chin-up’ girl keeps up your
morale as well as being beautiful,” the airmen wrote her.

marriage to another.

A certain T/Sgt. in our outfit
has invented a dance step (at
least that’s what he calls it!)
the likes of which we never
have seen before—and we hope
to gaze upon it never again. And
our “Red Cross Chow Hounds”
have a quaint habit of always
being at the Rec Center for
“Coffee Hour.”
“Tootsie.”
Headquarters
We enjoyed a swell show stag-
ed by the RAF here recently. Our
British neighbors did very well
by us. And our softball team, the
Jacks, still is undefeated.
M/Sgt. Allen E. Crowe.
Our No. 1 jitterbug, Sal “Pete”
Signorefla is looking forward to
a blind date. So every night he
does a litle practicing with Tori-
vio “Pancho” Andrade as his
partner. The dance team certain-
ly has the whole outfit in an up-
roar. T/5 S. Rogers.
SS Band Seeks
Drummer, Pianist
The Special Service dance
band is seeking a drummer
and a piano player to round
out its reorganized group. Ex-
perienced musicians interest-
ed in joining the band should
contact their unit Special Ser-
vice officers.

Highlights
Pvt. Stanley Keen, who may
be seen nightly blonde-hand-
holding, tells the saddest tale
of woe heard in many a mid-
night moon. He arranged a date
for a buddy and the foursopie
went out to paint the town red.
All went well until a minor dis-
sention arose between his ever-
loving gal and himself. She turn-
ed to Keen’s buddy for sympathy,
and the embraces looked so real-
istic, Keen up and left for >home
in a huff.
Our softball manager, Joe Mac-
Eulo, is leaving no stone unturn?
ed in his search for new talent.
The other day he traded “Ben-
ny The Creep” and “Sweet”
O’Vito for New Jersey’s pitching
sensation, “Zebra” Jerry, plus
two candy bars. Too bad our mur-
derer’s row consists mostly of
lady killers.
Sgt. Frank Szalkowski.
Despondent 4-F
Commits Suicide
Leo Margolski of Chicago
watched a movie in which an
Army rejectee gets a job in a
shipyard and becomes a hero.
As the happy ending faded off
the screen, Margolski, 4-F and un-
employed, shot himself through
the head.
