It was big news in camp last
Sunday, yes sir. We had a distin-
guished visitor, Pfc. Delores La
France of the WAC. That’s right,
fellows, a ueal live WAC! For
some of the Talons, it was their
first glimpse of a “She-Eye” and
if Pfc. La France is representa-
tive of the female army — then
the boys are 100 percent for it.
Thanks a million for paying a
visit while in Iceland, Delores,
as the morale of the men in camp
is up about a million points. How
about visiting us again before
long? If you can time your visit
so as to hit camp on inspection
day, it would he greatly appreci-
ated by yours truly. Never have
I seen so many well-dressed,
clean-shaven men in camp before.
Strange, how a Pfc. can accompl-
ish in one day what a 1st Sgt.
tries to do all the week.
Can you imagine: S/Sgt. Ause
staying in camp all day Sunday?
.... S/Sgt. Avery as a Yankee?
.... S/Sgt. Boyd not trying to ar-
gue someone into thinking that
Maine is the Garden Spot of Am-
erica? .... S/Sgt. Evans reading
the bulletin board? .... S/Sgt.
Lacey running the 440 twice a
day? .... Sgt. Calvo on furlough
to Cuba?
1st Sgt. Charles J. Birkel.
Ever since Tom Moffett agreed
to have his picture taken with
Marlene Dietrich, he has been
walking on air. Somebody told the
Moff. he should be in Hollywood
because his’ profile is photogenic.
In the meantime, he’s still sitting
tight .... Tribute of the week
to S/Sgt. James Young — one of
the finest soldiers and, without
a doubt, the outstanding Mess Sgt.
in the U.S. Army .... Bill Baum-
ker is developing some new sec-
ret weapon, but refuses to tell
anyone what it is. Rumor has it
that it is a cross between a wash-
ing machine, a generator and
something to do with printing
pictures.
We received a letter recently
from NBC in New York asking
us to have Dean Garret stop his
news commentaries' as he is go-
ing to put them out of business.
Dean delivers the news in the
mess hall every hour on the hour.
Every other hour he gives his
analysis of the news and informs
us when the war will be over.
According to Dean, we should
have been home by now — which
is apparently a miscalculation ..
.. “Gander at Gersons” is the sup-
ply room’s slogan of the week.
Come in, and “Let Auld Alter
Your Body” will probably be the
motto next week .... John Fruge
finally made the MP Hall of Fame.
To. be awarded this significant
honor, there is only one reqfiire-
ment to be met. John qualified
when he spent eight smiling
hours with “lovable” Joseph
Joshua Martin.
Pvt. Ben Rosenthal
It’s probably a good thing for
the efficiency of the QM that
Marlene Dietrich doesn’t come
to Iceland every day. The Field
Marshal has been flying around
Instead of walking ever since
she said “Good morning” to
him .... John Berry opened 87
boxes looking for a certain type
of parka which he knew he
didn’t have — just to prolong her
stay .... When Frank Ambros-
ino heard that Marlene was com-
ing to the warehouses he ran
back to camp to shave and get
a clean shirt. He undoubtedly
would have been the best-looking
GI there — except La Dietrich
had gone by the time he got
back .... Duncan insisted that
she had tied the strings wrong
on a jacket she was trying for
size — he further insisted that
only he could fix it right ....
Nielsen was seen thumbing
through his inventory to see if
he didn’t have something in stock
in which she would be inter-
ested.
And, of course, Vince Stence
made Miss Dietrich sign eight
more copies than are normally
necessary .... It’s’ the first time
in the history of the company
that Dick Houston let his men
have any time off. He anticipated
the visit of the glamorous star
to his warehouse and wanted to
wait on her all by himself ....
Joe Pazzi summed up everything
with, “The closer you get to her,
the better she looks!”

These stulkas up here can
make some of the big, brave
soldiers duck for cover quicker
than a dive bember. First, it was
Dempsey who was forced to
make a “strategic withdrawal”
from Club 21 on dance nights
and now it’s “Scratcho” who’s
on the prod .... “In My Arms”
Sauer and “Elmer the Mutter”
are really in there pitching for
the title now held by Kunz and
Carter .... “Sid” Boguss really
deserves a medal for the effort
he is expending to better Ice-
landic-American relations. He
hasn’t missed a dance since he
hit the “Rock.” His motto is
“Look out you lucky girls, here
I come.”
LATRINE-O-GRAMS: Bill
came into the Orderly Room
once and didn’t ask for mail ..
.. “Junior” Wenz also came in
and didn’t gripe -and moan a-
bout the tough deal he has ....
Casputo is teaching Sue to do
the “Brooklyn Stomp”.... Some
one reported that they heard
Kelly Weeks talk fast and saw
John Tucceri move fast. It must
have been Golie the other night
just before he got into bed with
those Pink Elephants .... It
was also said that Gavin drove
in the area without hitting any-
one or anything. Smitty doesn’t
believe it though.
“Scratcho”
THE DRILL CORPORAL: The
mere sound of the buzzing mot-
or attached to the drill operat-
ed by our dental technician, Cpl.
Howard (the Wheel) Farris, is
sufficient to discourage even the
most cconsistent visitor to the
chair. However, in spite of this
noisy aspect, business in this
department instead of falling off,
(as was expected when the Cpl.
began polishing molars, biscus-
pids and incisors), increased this
week by leaps and bounds —
proving, of course, that his bark
is by far worse than his bite.

inski applied this week for ser-
vice with the U.S. Rangers ....
Pfc. Harbison finally got a
“break” when he sustained a
fractured toe in the shower. He’s
now sporting the latest in GI
crutches .... Don’t be a bit
surprised if PX Custodian Pvt.
Peter Kemme should hand you
a Willkie button with your pur-
chase .... Watch for a series of
lectures by Cpl. Poyser dealing
with the maintenance of equi-
librium in military social circles
and appropriately entitled —
“Poise with Poyser.”
Cpl. C. A. Postler.
By these sounds shall ye know
them: Sgt. Russel — “Now don’t
be that way” .... Cpl. J. Chaite
— “I can’t help it” .... Pvt. Whit-
tle — “They can’t do that to me”
.... Cpl. Bublick — “Let’s do it
the easy way” .... Cpl. Spears
— “Forced me to do it” .... Pfc.
Stevens — “Don't fool with me”
.... Sgt. Janowski — “Air raid
red” .... Pvt. Ford — “Where’s
me ratin’?” .... Put them all to-
gether and you have a mangled
version of Brooklynese with a
slight southern flavor.
“Bad Boy” Butler was the only
one who had a delightful evening
last Saturday night at the Red
Cross. How he fell asleep sur-
rounded by romance is a story
only he can explain .... Note to
“Wily” Wilson — There are no
indispensable men on a basketball
team. Let’s all get in the game.
Cpl. A. L. LeClerc, a distant
relative of the noted French gen-
eral, is himself making notable
gains at the green-covered table
in the day room .... In two
months', Pvt. McCoy’s daughter
will be half a year old. How tern-
pus doth fugit! It seems as though
I just finished a proud Poppa’s
cigar.
Reports have reached these
humble headquarters that the
added stripe weighs heavily on
the am of S/Sgt. Press. Lay
down, Loquacious .... Tec 5
Buerki has the distinction of
speaking five languages and
thereby holds the title of com-
pany linguist.
