Sunday, there were two jam-
borees! The first party was on
the tall, bewhiskered gent with
the tall hat and striped trousers;
the second featured stulkas and
the Air Force band at the Reykja-
vik ARC .... Ditto on Tuesday ..
.. And then on Wednesday, the
Gee-Eyes gathered the stulkas
and then they all gathered to en-
joy refreshments and the tunes
of the Coast Artillery band at the
EM Club .... Last night the
weekly variety show in the Tri-
poli theatre featured the Army
Band.
The dream of every bugler has
finally come true for Joe Gla
vosich. ^‘Sarge,” the company
mascot, drops everything and
wastes no time in answering
formation calls .... Jim Buxton
and Bob Hammond are keeping
listeners spellbound with stories
of their furlough ....Oree Kil-
patrick claims he has been mak-
ing regular morning inspections
of the company area for the past
two weeks — but the boys are
wondering if he really inspects
the area. There is the usual
mail-call for the boys; and then,
as usual, there is mail-call for
Bob Insinger ...... Jack Miller
and John Gowin thought they’d
investigate those rumors of those
glorious meals at the Red Cross.
They Gled, took off for town,
drooling more and more every
step of the way, found the place
crowded, sweated it out good-
naturedly, still drooling, and
{ben complained about tbe steal?
being a wee bit tough! Whadda
ya want, boys, blood?????
Can you picture A1 Kollra and
Joe Rametta actually agreeing on
anything.....Floyd (Telephone)
Lusk claims that 20th century
science and marvel is vastly
overrated because he can’t even
call or phone his wife .........
Familiar sights: Louie Podbesek
and Frank Euken, the commen-
tators on war news; Charlie
Tischer and Norbert Weber, the
saw and hammer duo; and Fred
Paiva with his shadow, Bob In-
singer.
The boys marvel at Jim Mc-
Hale’s clerical system, but they’re
patiently awaiting the slip he
makes ....... Rose Spella can
hardly be accused of impatience
— after being engaged for practi-
cally three years ....... Height
of optimism — Charlie (OCS)
Marr getting used to shavetail
manners already.
Sgt. T. Gordon Farrell.
Pvt. Bernie Fischer had his
morale' boosted considerably last
week. He received regards from
another good soldier, Barney
Ross, who distinguished himself
so admirably at Guadalcanal.
Barney’s advice waS, “Be your-
self, and be yourself at your
best.” That is the victory road for
all GIs.
Our mascot, the black chow
hound Nero, has a problem for
Mr Anthony. The yardbirds have
found that by barking outside
the sergeant’s hut where Nero
sleeps, in the wee small hours,
he will immediately answer with
a lusty echo. All they have to
do is count ten then and Nero
comes flying out the door like
an old pin cushion. Now his pro-
blem is, what particular Sgt. is
capable of walking up and throw-
ing him out in ten seconds, by
the numbers. That is the one he
had better chew on to even the
score.
We have been receiving so
much literature from the States,
you can’t make a statement any.
more without a rebuttal. Even
a furlough in the U.S. has be-
come debatable by the GI literati.
One of our buddies is trying to
convince us the whole war start-
ed over potatoes. So help me.
Come to think of it, a stay ir
Iceland plus Look, Life, Time,
Readers Digest and Yank is an
education in itself.
A salute to Mearl Nordstrom
for the best chicken dinner with
all the trimmings we have had to
date. We are forever ribbing the
cooks, but underneath our well
fed hides we are all grateful for
their consistent efforts to feed
us well.
Pvt. W. R. Petersen.
