RATION C
(A Peculiar Delicacy)
Ancient poets tell of
nightingale’s tongue,
One bard even wrote on
potted lung;
But I’ve never heard a melody
Praise the merits of RATION C.
Oft on my bunk I’ve lain,
Trying with all might and main
To dream of oozing steaks,
alas for me—
My dreams were confounded
by RATION C.
Many a long, weary line I’ve
sweat,
With mess kit open and
palate wet,
Expectantly hoping, only to see—
A heaping portion of RATION C.
Pvt. C. Raymond (Varga) Bau-
derman, after displaying his
drawings at Club 21, now has
them hanging in the huts of our
camp. These drawings are of
the Esquire type, very attract-
ive, and as pin-ups they do much
to brighten up the shacks.
We have a potential actor in
Pfc. Ernest Pack -who says he
will take the part of the “drunk-
ard” in the forthcoming Base
SSO stage production — if they
will let him live the part.
Cpl. Eugene M. Daugherty.
“As ye sow, so shall ye reap.”
Cpl. Maynard is a living example
of that proverb. He started a
practical joke on the fellows in
his hut, but it backfired, virtual-
ly exploded on his own bed. He’s
still walking around with a very-
red complexion. Joe W. Adams.
The American Scene
Lovely Jean Parker is kept
plenty busy making movies in
Hollywood these days, but she
still finds time to pose for pin-
ups, for which we are grateful.
One American soldier set out
to prove that the old adage about
history repeating itself is true.
He brought along a violin which
he borrowed from the Red Cross
on the first bombing assault on
Rome. Capt. Harry R. Burrell,
of Omaha, Neb., who piloted a
j plane on the raid, wrote to his
parents: “After bombs were on
their way down into Rome, one
of the boys left his waist gun
long enough to pick up the violin
and play ‘Yankee Doodle.’ The
gunner fiddled while Rome burn-
ed.
All sorts of questions are ask-
ed of the information clerk at
North Station in Boston, Mass.,
some of them sensible and some
slightly on the other side. Tops
among the whacky ones, explain-
ed the clerk, was asked by a wo-
j man. “Can you tell me,” she ask-
■ ed, “whether the Kennebec Limi-
ted tomorrow morning will have
] blue or brown upholstery?”
| When the clerk asked what dif-
ference it could possibly make,
the woman said, in a hurt tone,
I “You see, I couldn’t wear my pur-
| pie dress with brown uphol-
stery.”
The staff of the Stanford-Lane
Hospital was worried. Located
in San Francisco, Calif., the hos-
pital delivered 19 babies, all girls.
But a week later, everything was
evened up. All 22 babies born
were boys.

A United States game agent,
Robert Bach, came across two
men in Bois, Ida., and accused
them of shooting pheasants out
of season. The men denied it
vehemently. Bach and his dog
listened to their arguments, the
dog sniffed the ground and trot-
ted off. He returned in a little
while with two completely shot
pheasants. The two men sheep-
ishly pleaded guilty.

When the WAC’s at Fort Ogle-
thorpe, Ga., have a disagreement
about any subject, they come to
visit Pvt. Louise M. Kable of
West Virginia. Kable is an auth-
ority on almost any subject —
especially any subject beginning
with the letter “A”. Before she
joined the WAC, she had a job
in New York City rewriting an
encyclopedia; but she left after
finishing the first volume.
The QMC can claim and claim
That Company Mess is just
like “hame,”
But home will never be for me—
If Mom ever serves me
RATION C.
Pfc. Wesley Bodkin.
Ordnance
Two Romeos after a Juliet ain’t
the way Shakespeare- wrote it,
but evidently that’s the story be-
tween “Li’l Abner” Cohen and
Mickey Uuerick. And T/4 Solo-
mon turned up with a sharp re-
tort when asked by the CO whetli
er his motor vehicle was tight.
“No, sir,” he answered, “it does-
n't- have any alcohol 1” -

has left. West started to drive
has left. Wset started to drive
his car away from his home and
had driven only 50 yards when
he heard the anguished cries of

banging. He stopped his car and
opened the hood. Out jumped the
cat. The fan was broken, the
radiator ruined, and the car
wouldn’t run. The cat didn’t have
a visible scartch.
