The
Organizations
Day by day we can notice Sgt.
Jack Walding wasting away to
a shadow. He is almost to the
point where we can’t see him
when he stands sideways. The
reason for the loss of tonnage
is that Jack parted with a few
of his molars, and not because
he is worried about losing some
bets pertaining to Christmas
dinner. (Is it that time already?).
Our newly organized orchestra
will make its debut tomorrow
night in the theater when the
chairs will be folded up, the carp-
et rolled back and our first dance
of the “winter season” gets und-
er way.
Sgt. Geo. P. Peterson.
During his spare moments, Pfc.
Vern Kellog always can be found
in a corner, strummin’ on his ol’
guitar.....Pvt. Robert D. Pas-
sage was proudly passing out the
stogies this week. .... He just
received word his wife gave birth
to a boy.....Anybody interest-
ed in catching up with his cur-
rent events is requested to visit
our barber, Pfc. Aurelio Padre-
vita.....He’ll give you both —
a lecture and a “GI trim.”
Pfc. Anthony J. Neri.
Tranwpo rtaiion
lst/Sgt. Thompson, after wait-
ing patiently for hours for the
return of a jeep sent to the motor
pool to have a spark plug fixed,
located a spark plug himself and
finally called the motor pool:
“We have a damn good spark
plug here; how about a jeep to
go around it?”
T/Sgt. John (Chop-Chop) Wil-
liams accepted a challenge Tor a
boxing match from T/4 Warga
and Pvt. Monks for a two-against-
one battle royal. Williams had
them both yelling “uncle” after
only a minute and a half of the
second round.
Cpl. Daniel F. Carmody.

Pfc. Rose must have gotten that
“old feeling” recently. While a
few of Hie boys were talking
about their gals bach home, Rosie
was dressing for guard. Shortly
thereafter, someone noticed he
had put his leggings on back-
wards.
Following the Cardinal defeat
by the Yankees, the annual mig-
ration to the soldiers’ poor house
has started. Right guide for the
formation is Sgt. Obie Sims.

Infantry
Pfc. Mariano Cardillo has found
the end of the rainbow — liter-
ally! It happened, so he says,
Tuesday, when, for some unex-
plained reason, he was standing
on the side of the mountain. It
rained, the sun came out — and
there was the rainbow right at
his feet. He was standing on it
and its colors bathed his uni-
form in brilliant red, green and
That’s Hollywood’s most pre-
cious pair of gams supporting
one of Hollywood’s more shapely
chassis. The whole works, of
course, belongs to Betty Grable.
The American Scene
Roy Arnold of Azusa, Calif.,
was so certain that the baby his
wife was expecting would be a
boy that he bet $25 at 20-to-l
on the outcome. It was a boy
and he won $25. He would have
lost $500 had the baby been a
girl.
•
A girl walked into a local re-
staurant and asked for a job. The
owner decided to try her out as
a cashier. He stepped into the
kitchen a moment and when he
returned, the girl was gone —
so was the cash.
•
A native of Dallas, Texas, was
granted a divorce after jie- testi-
fied that his wife let the air out
of the tires of his car every
morning.
•
Mrs. W. C. Richter of Indiana-
polis, Ind., found a basket on
her porch. In it was a pink-
cheeked baby and a note read-
ing: “William Patrick Franklin
is a good little boy.”
•
In Chicago, Ill., burglars broke
into a north side shop and stole
$280 worth of two-way stretch
girdles.
•
The gasoline shortage stopped
speeding motorists in Naugatuck,
Conn., but Police Chief John
Gormley still isn’t satisfied. He
has ordered that galloping of
horses down Main Street must
stop.
•
Mrs. Evelyn Murphy had her
husband brought into a Los An-
geles court because he punched
her in the eye. In court, she ask-
ed to have the complaint dis-
missed. “I guess I had it com-
ing,” she explained, “You see, I
bit him first.”
•
In Junction City, Kan., there
is a woman bus driver who
claims to be the only barefooted
woman driver in the United
States. Her name is Marguerite
See and she says, “It is a habit
left over from my bicycle riding
days.” By driving barefoot, she
declares, she can do “a smooths
or job on the clutch ”
A simple white gown doesn’t
look too simple when it’s mo-
deled by a charmer like Martha
O’Driscoll, Hollywood starlet.

orange. Cardillo declared that his
unique experience left him some-
what disillusioned, however, for
at the end of the rainbow he
was unable to locate either the
pot of gold or Judy Garland.
Perhaps he was standing at the
wrong end!
Pfc. Larry Miller, our mail
clerk, received a package from
his wife this week in which she
enclosed a pair of knitting need-
les. Mrs. Miller, says Larry, is
expecting a little package of her
own sometime in May. Now lie’s
wondering if there can be a
shortage of “tiny garments” back
in the States.
Cpl. John Moran.
