“Blackie,” tht camp’s pet dog,
lias been keeping in very good
condition this past week or two.
It has been his policy to disap-
pear from camp for as long as
a week at a time — then return
pretty well “hanged up.” After
a recuperation period, usually
spent in Hut A-3, he starts on
another Commando Raid. Lately
he has managed to remain in
camp. Can it be that you find
bucking for a Purple Heart too
great a strain, Blackie?
You can blame M/Sgt. Wrona
for all the short haircuts in the
organization. Seems he’s discov-
ered a new way to grow hair
and the first step is getting the
hair cut short. Hope it works,
“Baldy,” or you will have a lot
of plain and fancy explaining
to do.
The whole camp turned out
the other night to watch what
they thought were the Northern
Lights. A little later ft was dis-
covered that , the phenomenon
was nothing more than the re-
flection of the moon on Cpl. Ge-
orge Meyer’s newly-shined but-
tons.
1st Sgt. Charles J. Birkel.
THE WHOLE CAMP’S TALK-
ING ABOUT: „The marked simi-
larity in facial contours between
the new company scribe, Cpl.
Rouches, and his cinema hero,
Fred MacMurray .... About ARC
worker Jane Goodell’s book
“They Sent Me To Iceland,” curr-
ently making the rounds of local
huts .... About the reception
accorded Pvt. “Foots” Esolda
when he returned from the
salvage section of the supply hut
with a parka prominently dis-
playing embroidered silver bars
on the hood .... About Sgt.
Soucyis informal pre-show con-
fab with Marlene Dietrich ....
About the shocking spectacle of
Pvt. Coopock with h}s newly?
acquired GI lenses .... About
furlough, rotation and TD.
Cpl. C. A. Posher.

What well-known supply man
is hobbling around on one good
leg? It seems that after handling
packing cases for over two years,
he finally let one get away from
him and it landed on his foot.
What is the big attraction at the
hospital now, Skip? .... Pfc.
Bill Mordock had everyone pun-
ching his TS card the other day
when his plans were unceremoni-
ously changed — but now lie’s
wearing a Bob Hope brand of
smile. Everyone knows why, Bill,
so don’t say a word!

I course) to knock the other fel-
j low down.
Every time men return from
furlough the demand for five
cent stamps increases. This time
it’s Homan and Cooper who’ve
established frienshipst?) in jolly
Scotland. (If Tom, sends this pap-
er to Pat, we’re only kidding.)
Lyle Norman is such a valu-
able stevedore that special trans-
portation is provided to take him
to work .... The art-lovers
should visit Red KasTiner’s latest
exhibit entitled “Why Not?”
Tec 5 Bill Donnelly.

After his harrowing experience
of a week or so ago, Hebert
claims that he has battle-nerves
and should be sent to some rest
camp. From the way he plays
rummy, we can see that he’s all
shaken up.
For a fellow who is not sup-
posed to perspire, Houston cuts
some fancy capers on the maple
court. First league game for the
“Wildcats” is next Tuesday at
1900 hours. Moral support would
be appreciated.
StPierre got his first look at
a basketball game the other night.
He says it’s just like hockey —
keep the puck from the oppon-
ents and try (accidentally, of
Dean Garrett is being proposi-
tioned by Radio Station WHO to
become one of its news analysts
after the duration .... Jim Young
has been given an outstanding
part in Tom Moffett’s, new show,
“The Major and the Minor.” He
is going to replace “you know
who” in the leading role.
. . Bill Carroll spends so much
lime at the Red Cross'that he
might as well be “attached for
rations and quarters.” Obviously,
he’? attached there for some rea-
son .... Hut 27’s recent after-
show party kept a lot of young
fellows awake after their usual
bed time. Teetotaling Fred Miller
broke a long record and really
hit the high spots. Even “Pop”
Olson surprised the younger boys
by being even more jovial than
his usual self.
“Snafu” Tom Cavanaugh is con-
spicuous by his quietness of late
.... Charles Baer’s souvenirs of
Iceland are very popular among
the boys for Christmas’ presents.
GI LAUNDRY
Tec 5 Elmer Gebrke (left) of Chicago and' Tec 4 Elmer Evans
of St. Joseph, Mo., stick their hands into QM laundry vats to in-
vestigate the condition of the latest batch of GI “wash.” The
men stated that latest equipment assures a minimum removal of
buttons and such accessories.
They ate hand carved wood de-
signs with all the Icelandic coins
imbedded in them and with the
IBC insignia painted on either
side. Quite a talented lad, we
think .... Stanley Zolniers. is
thinking of giving up smoking
cigars .... Danny McIntosh and
Len Jankowski have started jum-
ping off hut roofs in order to get
some of their practice for the
paratroops. Rugged lads, we
think.
Pvt. Ben Rosenthal.
The events at the Motor Pool
this past week prove that it is
not absolutely necessary to go to

Reykjavik for a hot time. During
the excitement, Pfc. Nix, think-
ing no doubt of the epic poem
“Fireman, Save My Child,” pul-
led Cpl. Michael to a place of
safety.
Tears were shed by Hensel who
took pardonable pride in the
work benches that he kept so
clean. A word of praise should
be spoken for the Motor Maulers,
who removed their vehicles to
other parts- in no time flat. The
men at the depot made a proud
picture arrayed in front of the
depot with their equipment lined
up as if for inspection. It seem-
ed to this nervous spectator that
Pvt. Polley was most concerned
with the dispatch hut which he
constructed.
The latest incident involving a
near homicide concerns one of
our culinary experts and one of
our more erudite transportation
technicians. Guess who?
Believe it or not: Moonbeams
are not for sale by Sgt. Denning-
er who seems to have cornered
the market.
If the talk of rotation and TD
doesn’t quiet down, there will be
at least one man who will get a
Section 8 instead. I think that
in this instance; the smart money
in the company has been out-
smarted.
If “Porky” Modica gets gigged
this week,.he will have kept his
consistent record intact. Keep up
the good work.
