Tec 4 Ed Mansell and Pfc.
Jud Hessick, both of the mess
hall staff, were seen strol-
ling about the streets of the
big city last Friday (or is it,
in their case, Fryday?) after-
noon. No doubt it was a
Cook’s Tour of Reykjavik —
just two Doughboys rolling
in dough.
It appears that Pfc. James
Collins is in a run-down con-
dition (no, fie didn’t meet
with an accident — just an
incident). Jim is weak from
sweating out a letter he re-
ceived from the States dated
3 December 1943. Jim, the
male situation must be bad
back home.
Pvt. S. Ed Nolen reasons
that if all the rumors he’«
heard since lie’s been on the
Rock were put together, it
would relieve the boarding
house situation in Washing-
ton, D.C., and that’s a capi-
tal idea!
Company Clerk Steve And-
rasko, that “Wizard of Ours”
at pocket billiards, challeng-
es any man in the outfit to
a game on the company
green. Steve takes his cue
from the Orderly Room —
which proves he’s on the
ball.
Tec 5 Ralph (Good Morn-
ing) Kiefer, our bed boy, has
COT what it takes to be em-
braced in the arms of Morp-
heus. Ralph is strictly an
undercover man — a true
AngloSACKson.
Qil. Porter met Cpl. Harry
Dawson in the Orderly
Room. Porter inquired of
Harry, “What’s new?” To
which Dawson replied, “New
hat, new blouse, new shoes,
new socks, new shirt and a
New Year.” To which we
add, “MAY IT RE A*HAPPY
ONE FOR ALL!”
Pvt. Sidney Glickman.
Christmas dinner was just
the way Mother would have
it, practically.
During the dinner we had
“personal” radio messages
from General Key, the Presi-
dent, Duffy’s Tavern and the
new and original MP Vict-
ory March which was in-
troduced. The interruption
in the scheduled programs
was technically prepared by
Ray Bates and Jake Wirth.
The gags were supplied
through the courtesy of Tom
Moffett and Ben Rosenthal.
John Cline Fruge, Servero
Gomez and Tony Paolucci
ably assisted.
An unusual amount of
musical talent has been com-
ing out into the open lately.
Just this past week Jim
Young grew tired of blow-
ing his top and spent the
afternoon in the barber shop
blowing a trumpet... .Stirr-
ed by all this, Aurelio Padre-
vita decided that he, too,
had talent. Christmas night
he visited all the huts with
his violin and cup doing his
version of “White Christ-
mas” — supported by Arn-
old, Gottshall and Horan.
That may not be correct for
we are not sure who was
supporting who.
A very Happy New Year
to all the members of the
IBC from the Military Police.
Pfc. Ben Rosenthal.

promised hair-cut was post-
poned?. .. . And that barber
claimed that he would have
to put me to bed! . .. . Nick
Janowitz promised to give
everyone in his but a quart
but belatedly discovered
that the case be had promot-
ed was of apples .... Con-
grats to Tony Bankoski and
crew for a fine decorative
job. It’s a well-known fact
that Christmas comes but
once a year. Here’s hoping
that we don’t have another
weekend like that for anoth-
er year .... Our PX steward
offers a prize of three bottl-
es of beer for the best sug-
gestion for an official name
for our club. Each entry
must be accompanied by the
scalp of at least one 1st Sgt.
Bill Donnelly.
Christmas activities took
first place around camp this
past week. Saturday night’s
dance started the ball roll-
ing and Danny McIntosh and
John Fruge kept it rolling
from there. Christmas Eve
saw such oddslers as John
Horan, Tom Cavanaugh
(who’s ready to murder the
White Falcon staff at sight
for forgetting the tag line
to his Christmas cartoon),
and Lou Weare all in their
own little world. Christmas
morning eggnogs were spied
with the sensational trump-
et of Vito Toto who has tak-
en the place of Harry James.

Club Candlelight opened
with a couple of bangs over
the weekend. All of the ob-
stacles of nature and our
electrical system were over-
come by the “spirits” of the
participants. Prexy Ellery
Fields was in and out —
mostly “out” during the
week .... Chairman Blimp
was doing 19 different things
at once .... Secretary John
Thorne was feeling very
sorry that be bad no paper
on which to take notes.
“Call me 90 proof” Jenkins
found our dog, Tojo, and
thought he had a baby ....
How come Lt. Brimmer’s
ORDNANCE
ORDANOTES: It’s a lie!
Tec 5 Bristol did not jump
into the cosmoline tub hop-
ing to get shipped home as
an Ml. It was a slip of the
tongue — shoe, one ea.
It is suspected that S/Sgt.
(Bull Whip) Kynion has a
soft spot in his heart. He was
seen giving first aid to an
ailing puppy. Dog gone! ....
Gossip has it that one Tec
4 Guglielmo did, with intent
and purpose, steal and eat
one ea. pancake, the proper-
ty of “Herman,” the com-
pany pooch. Now will you
get up for chow, John? ....
“Doc” Kaske has been bend-
ing over the lathe every night
making a new pair of clip-
pers — claims it will actually
cut the hair. Gosh! Ain’t sci-
ence wonderful? What next?
.... The “Senator” lias
something new in his foot
locker and S/Sgt. Seaton had
better “watch” out .... We
hear that Tec 4 (Zoot Suit)
Corci is having his stripes
painted in a rainbow tint.
Well-stripe me pink! ....
The boys in tbe depot gave
Swistak (Pfc.) a private,
first class ovation in honor
of his recent promotion. Atta
boy, Swiss!
We hear that Tec 4 Schranz
is having trouble trying to
keep two chicks in the same
coop. If Tess stays home,
Frances runs to the movies.
After all, Schranz, she might
have had a ticket, you know
.... “Well, Mr. Anthony,”
Pfc. Ger&tein says, “my pro-
blem is this: I gotta a gerl
named Adel and now I gotta
a gerl named Goula. What
should I do?” .... Was Sgt.
Tarkington’s face red when
he walked into the Mess Hall
that a. m. with his face
smeared with lipstick? ....
Who requested that hillbilly
serenade by the boys on
“Melody Round-up” for Clar-
ence and the GIs in Iceland?
.... Aside to Hut 63, don’t
go picking on “Scotty” Mc-
Clish for what you see in this
column. There are other men
in your hut.
Tec 7 A. Nonny Muss.
Ski Club .... Who was the
guy who fulfilled a life-long
ambition when he blasted
away on a whistle at 0300
Christmas morning in the
Master-at-Arms’ shack? ....
Ed MacMillan has added an-
other don’t to his list of re-
minders. Never underestim-
ate the jolt in a good-sized
portion of high voltage.
“Why, it even shook the to-
bacco out of my pipe,” he
said, as he picked himself
, up three feet away.
“Doc” Benz sure makes
these medical lectures palat-
able, what with his vivid des-
cription on the use of band-
ages, tourniquets and
splints. Sounds gruesome at
times, but it would be a
mighty good idea if all hands
would pay attention.

All hands wish too express
their sincere appreciation to
Jerry Cutro for one of the
best Xmas presents they re-
ceived this year —■ mail from
home!!! Jerry worked all
Christmas Eve to see that
the boys got their mail be-
fore Christmas Day. We
might mention here that the
boys in tbe ATC deserve a
vote of thanks for such
wonderful timing. Nice go-
ing, fellows, you made our
Christmas a pleasant one.

....Glad to see Kupiec and
Huffman back again ....
Everyone seems to be going
in for GI haircuts — even
Pfc. Robel is sporting one
.... Wonder what Stewart
was doing in the ditch Sat-
urday night? Better be care-
ful, Jack, many people get
the wrong idea .... Cpl. Bob
Mulally has entered the hos-
pital. Get well soon, Bob ....
Sgt. Burke has been elected
club president. A better cho-
ice couldn’t have been made.
Congratulations, Joe.
At the recent company
shinding, we had a tough
time when we tried to choose
our new “Moonbeam Kid.”
It was a toss-up between
“Fat Boy” Williams, “Rak-
ari” Anderson and “Big Bel-
ly-No Hair-No Hittum” Ro-
bel. My vote went for “Fat
Boy” ....
It could happen: “Gull-
ible” Chapman not believing
a story I.. . “Rocky” Taylor
fiddling out “Is You Is Or Is
You Ain’t My Baby?” ....
“Choo-Choo” Stewart listen-
ing to a recording of Beet-
hoven’s First Symphony in
“C Major” .... “Lover”'Ro-
many staying in camp on
Commando Night. . . . “Pret-
ty Boy” Preyss chowing
when the rest of the EM do.
Happy New Year guys. P-
1-1-lease don’t mistake any
of that “Varnish 1898” for
“Champagne 1901!”
