The White Falcon - 06.01.1945, Qupperneq 8

Organization Mews
Glad to see McLean onl of
the hospital, we thought for
sure lie was going to spend
the winter there — hut we
guess he got out fast when
he found out lie was made
Cpl. » .. . The guys in the
Sqdn. want to thank the Mess
Sgt. and the cooks for the
swclleiegant Xmas, and New
Years Day dinners. Also, a
grqal big vote of thmiks for
Cpl. Manza and Pfc. Ash-
worth Tor the grand show
the3r put on for us after our
Christmas dinner. They had
us laughing throughout the
show .... Well, all the boys
in the outfit are ready to
start the new year out right
by. turning over in their
sacks, and saying “I hope I
get as. much sleep this year
as I did last year.”. .. .“Doc”
Valenzuela is a wizard of
a butcher. When he uses
tliQse barber shears, we darn
near have to go to the dis-
pepsaiy for a blood transfus-
ion. Now that he’s Pfc.,
though, lie may do a better
job..... I see that Cpl. White
over Hut 43 way is kind of
stuck on that two-page, nine-
picture pin-up spread in last
Saturday’s White Falcon. He
just sta3'S stretched out on
his;'sack, staring up at the
pictures and swooning —
especialh7 over that delect-
able dish named Sherry Brit-
ton .... With the new pro-
motion list out, everyone is
passing around cigars or ac-
cepting them from someone
else. Along this line, congra-
tulations to our new 1st Sgt.
Garrett. He’s a swell guy
when he isn’t loooking for
someone for KP or detail.
Or, should we say, when lie’s
asleep? .... Pfc. Pitts sure
looks , tired these da3rs now
that be has, a stead37 date —
but he’s happy and that’s all
that counts. Cpl. Stieve of
Orderly Room fame sa3rsthal
if he doesn’t get to see his
nurse soon, lie’ll get gray
hair worrying about her. To
tell the truth, lie only has
hair around his head aqd
not on top of it!
Sgt. Angelo J. Ghi.ef.fi.
According to the compam7
rosier, we have the follow-
ing men whose last names
begin with “Me”: McKenna,
McDade, McCleaiy, McKin-
ney, McGeough and MeSmith
(how did he get in?) It seems
that we have almost as 111am'
“Macs” as there are in the
Navy. If all the Mg’s were
stretched out end to end.
Ihe3r would he more com-
fortable.
In last week’s Falcon, this
department wrote about Cpl.
Steve Andrasko taking on all
comers at pocket billiards.
Since then, Steve has receiv-
ed many challenges to a
game. We would suggest a
contest be held. The cham-
pion would then be award-
ed the POOLitzer Prize.
Take your cue from this bo3rs
and start the ball aroUing.
New Year’s’ Eve parties
were thrown (no one was
hurt) though plent3T of bones
were rattled in many of the
huts. Lots of GI Joe’s called
for their 3’oung namesakes
“Little Joe.” The lucky ones
were rolling in dough; the
unlucky ones had the cards
stacked against them. As
they sa3r in Wall Street, “A
fair exchange is no robbery.”
Pvt. Sidney Glickman.
QURRTERmRSTER
Once again the big news
consists of the two excellent
parties over the weekend at
our club. To quote one of
our more distinguished visi-
tors, “Anyone who says this
isn’t the best club on the is-
%
land will have to see me, Joe
Dugan.” And that was before
lie fell into sewer. One flush
would have meant the end
of a rather brilliant career.
Even Dolph Wilson gave
all the girls a New Year kiss
— though he was hlushiug
so profusely that 3rou
couldn’t even notice the lip-
stick.
We don’t mind Vic Niel-
sen coming down eveiw
weekend hut we do wish he
would refrain from getting
sick continually. Last Satur-
day flight he embraced the
stove and sang a love song
to it — must have thought
he had a hot number.
“Set ’em up for the house”
Evans won a five kronur bet
from Hebert, but as 3Tet
hasn’t been able to collect.
Every other entry on the
check list at the gate was
“Grump with a load of girls.”
Nice going, John.
The quizzical are asking
why Jack Hazelback is sing-
ing again.
See 3:011 all at the Club to-
night. Bill Donnelly.
This recent epidemic of
bandaged heads, aching
backs and other miscellan-
eous cuts and bruises doesn't
mean that the bo3’s have
been going in for pugilistic
activities. It’s just that they
have been going in for a
little amateur basketball and
the games have beeu gett-
ing a little rough at times,
Marine Pvt. Shepard says
the Zippo Lighters we rec-
eived for Christmas are
pretty cheap. They only cost
us 365 da3Ts, Be patient,
Sliep., we hear they’re going
to pul hash marks on them
in the future.
Mike Coppola is getting to
he a regular somniloquist
and the rest of the fellows
enj03’ his nightly conversa-
tion. Be careful what you
sa3% Mike!
John M. Smith and Les
Wahl returned from the Ski
Club and their faces were
quite red. We can’t figure
out if it was because of the
skiing or the drawing the3’
had in the office. Incident-
ally, fellows, how much ski-
ing did you do?
Bingo is the latest rage in
Hut E-33 but it doesn’t seem
to be ver3r profitable for the
proprietors, Pete G.erlock
(an outsider) showed them
some of the finer points of
the game.
Why does Jeriy Cutro
search the mess hall before
entering? Is it because of
Jog Walker’s sermons about
reforming Jerry?
Those wedding bells ring
louder and louder each time
Palla sees his stulka. Where
will the wedding be, Palla,
at Borg or Heckla Square?
We understand all hands
will he invited to the big
affair.
T. Hibson, Y/2c.
ORDNANCE
ORDANOTES: That “start-
er crouch” of S/Sgt. Thilking
is the result of those man 3-
sprints to the orderR7 room
everv 'I'D rumor ....It loolis
as though Pvt. Steinen is
running a close second to Pvt.
Swinderman as head man in
the chow line. . . .Who were
those depot men who raided
the hut of a certain S/Sgt. at
0100 hours?. And then stayed
to 0800 hours? That’s what
night work does, huh?....
To Tec 5 Richardson goes the
“tissue paper” messkit for
his exellence in the “Rumor”
Dept. . . .We don’t like to say
this, but one Tec 4 Schranz
has been seeing RAILROADS
in Iceland!!! Say it isn't so,
John. Let’s just say it was a
“toot” and let it go at that.
Ok?. . . The “Inner Sanctum”
(orderly room to you) is
making it difficult for your
correspondent. TliC3' all can’t
he good bo37s—not all the
time. T’ain’t Iloomun!
Christmas EVE-nts: The
debut of the famous sym-
pathy orchestra, the. “Nikel-
odians,” giving out with
music that was out of this
world, (It should have been!)
Guest artist for the evening
was S/Sgt, (Tulips) Straehl
who played strictly from
hunger. Well, ok, make it
from thirst .... The “jitter-
hugging” of one ea. Tec. 5,
Tollman and Pvt. King....
The vocalizing by a group of
GIs huddled in a corner. It
always happens when Craig
meets Craig. . . .All in all, it
helped make Christmas a
little easier for each of us.
Let’s hope we will all have
a Happy New Year.
Tee. 7 A. Nonny Muss.
volves one individual who
is finally admitting his guilt
— after many, many months.
It seems that this yery young
soldier does little more than
eat and sleep. Work, as far
as he is concerned, is some-
thing one talks about but
never does. And so, after all
these months, he has admit-
ted that he should not con-
tinue to keep all the mone3r
he “was given” in the past
12 months. After a period of
careful deliberation, it was
decided that he is entitled
to eight percent of his pa3'
which, represents 30 days of
work out of the past 366.
And so he shall return to
the Army some $600 as soon
as the proper method of re-
fund is determined. We
won’t tell 3011 exactly who
this luck3' 603' is, but your
guess is as good as mine!
Cliff Franklin claims he is
through with women —
seems, we have heard that
song before .... Jim Young
has promised Lee Berkman
of Ilerskola Theater fame
anything in the place. WI13'?
Young was sweating this out
hut lie can stop worrying
now. This is not the week.
.... Tony Galinsky promis-
ed the Re3'kjavik “Snow
Queen” a Hollywood con-
tract. That’s win7 she went
out with him, poor kid.
At this week’s swell and
fast-moving ENSA- show,
T01137 Cortese received more
than his share. He still hasn’t
calmed down after touching
that girl’s calve .... Harry
Auld took a runout powder
on 11s the other night and we
expect him hack, post haste.
Pfc. Ben Rosenthal.
There is a most unusual I
tale spreading ilke wild fire
throughout the camp. It in-
Haye 3’ou tried a “Mendez
Special?” We are not refer-
ring to an alcoholic concoc-
tion or to a super-fast train
but to haircuts. Pfc. John
Mendez, our tonsorial artist,
is read3r to trim or clip 37ou,
so wh\7 not visit liis shop and
meet the Axis. It will prove
to be a hair-razing experi-
ence.

Pfc. Jimmy Wynn, a rank
amateur in. affairs of the
heart, announces plans for
his forthcoming publication
“An Illustrated Guide to
Reykjavik Nite Life.” In
spite of the fact that Geor-
gia’s favorite son is strange
to his new sin-roundings, he
yet insists that all of his mat-
erial hajs been drawn from
personal experience. • .That’s
the best I’ve heard in two
years....It may not be re-
garded as being of any real
news value when a canine
bites a Homo Sapien (this
means you!), but when a
man, Pfc. Bagwell, digs his
incisors and cuspids into the
ankle of a dog-robber, Pvt.
lack Reddick, that my friends
is definitelv news. .. .REQU-
