In case you’re wondering
where those fancy aprons
the bartenders are sporting
in the Crew’s Lounge came
from, cease wondering. We
have our good friend John
“Soap ‘n’ Water” Walsh to
thank. He sent all the way
back to the States for them.
This new 0100 Liberty
sure went over big with the
men. Besides giving a couple
of extra hours, it serves to
defeat that last minute anx-
iety of trying to beat the cur-
few.
It seems like the base just
couldn’t get along without
“Salty” Swalm on the MAA
force and after a few days
in a different division the}7
had to bring him hack.

hecklers of Pennsylvanians.
We outnumber guys from
any other state — Texas in-
cluded! .... We know one
Tec 5 who thinks Rosaleen
is a very pretty name — so
he’s knocking himself out
trying to croon “Rosalie.”

new Ichabod Club furnish-
ings .... The sad look on
the face of a certain memb-
er of the Air Force Ork who
tasted his first drink the
other night .... How every-
one seems to gravitate to the
SkjaldbreiS every night
The look of anguish on the
pans of all who received new
weapons complete with cos-
moline .... The drummer
who goes around humming
“We Could Make Such
Beautiful Music Together.”
It se6ms since our initial
column last week that tlier-
smeared with lipstick. He
sure had plenty of nerve to
do it after what he had told
us about himself .... “Fat
Boy” Williams seems to be
doing plenty of dog-robbing
for the hoys of Hut 12. What
are you bucking for, boy? . .
. . “Choo Choo” Stewart still
is of the opinion that a “Red
Corpuscle” is a non-com in
the Russian Army.
“Pretty Boy” Gunnell is
back in circulation now, so
be careful all you girls. By

Port Of Le Havre Busier
Now Than Before German0
Declared It Destroyed
According to a, "War Dept,
announcement, the German-
wrecked port of Le Havre
has now been restored to
more than its pre-war cap-
acity. The announcement
says that the famous French
port, considered “100 perc-
ent destroyed” by the Ger-
mans, is currently handling
more tonnage than it ever
did before.

MUDVILLE, LAMENTS:.
Our detachment has discov-
ered the meaning of the
words “Fighting Quarter-
master.” A trip to or from
the depot on the back of
our trucks has become a
battle royal since the office
gang has been using this trip
to release their pent up en-
ergies. The snowballs really
fly — debris not excluded.
Pvt. Berman, detached, was
seen trying to dig a foxhole
in the truck bed.
Now that the daylight per-
iod is getting longer, the
latrine is almost visible from
where we live. Rumor has it
tliat a beacon light may be
installed on Hut 14 to guide
the lalriners home. Sgt. Mul-
lins needed his compass one
dark night last week when
he thought he was headed
for Club 21.
Pfc. Abe Cohen.
TRUCKING TOPICS: It
would seem at least one Cpl.
is taking the training pro-
gram a little too seriously.
If he isn’t, why was he car-
rying his bed roll around the
area in the middle of the
night?. ... “I’m Gonna Buy
A Paper Doll” is the song
our parts man croons these
days, while Conway and
O’Malley} mournfully lament
“Somebody Else Is Taking
My Place.”
“I never get stuck,” boasts
Hensgen, but we are told he
was rescued by Hubler who
was supposed to have been

home by speaking a hit of
Polish to a Colonel? That’s
real dog-robbing, Ed ....
Sorry, men, hut just because
Pfc. Friedrichs did a Sinatra
in that Joisey Cafe is no
reason to scream when he
approaches .... It’s said
that Pfc. CLutz is hell on
drums. When he says play
a song, he means play it. OK,
ask that drummer in New-
ark .... What S/Sgt. has
been seen running around
the camp in a simply gorg-
ous blue bathrobe? Tsk, tsk,
this TD is having its effects.
We wonder how Tec 5
Fisher is coming along with
his muscles? After all, if
Atlas can’t do it, nobody can.
He’s getting lesson number
four in the next mail —
which should enable him to
lift his arms .... Tec 4 Mit-
teer, to tell the truth, is
mooning all over a gal nam-
ed Ruth.
Tec 5 John F. McCabe.

Next Wed. promises to be
another red-letter day for
the socially elite of camp
what with all the activities
scheduled in the EM Mess
Hall. The festivities will
commence with a super-de-
luxe supper at “Gus’s
Grotta” and will extend far
into the night with a dance
at the EM Club and a few
extras at the Snack Bar.
THINGS OF NOTE: The
Now that Hut 88 has Tec
5 Edwin Bennetts and Pfc.
Raowick on TD, morale is at
a new low .... Cpl. Bischel
has turned down the mid-
night oil to take a well-earn-
ed rest now that he has fin-
ished his USAFI course in
bookeeping .... It looks
like Tec 5 Collier'and a few
others will have to acquire
“Seeing Eye Dogs” to guide
them around fire and trash
barrels on those dark and
stormy nights.
We are wondering: Why
Tec 5’s Hamilton and Wasei-
ty have been working like
beavers for the past weeks.
Could it be that a trip is in
store for them? .... Pfc.
Bagwell is down in the
dumps agains since the new-
er men refuse to listen to his
tale about things being so
rough at Logberg that he
was forced to eat his sled
dogs.
Cpl. F. R. Murcko.

“Killer” Dobyns came into
camp the other night all
Sgt. Hytowitz had quite a
problem when the road to
his camp became impass-
able. Lt. Linden founded up,
all the shovels available and
the crew started digging,
their way down, the 30 perc-^
ent (or more) grade. Just asi
the weary boys shouldered
the shovels and headed for
the final break, a bulldozer
from the Engrs. arrived. Oh,
their aching GI backs!
What camp in this Btry.
is known as the old folks
home?
Would you say
drunk when he
kronur a bottle
beer and then uses coffee
for a chaser? The boys know
the answer — don’t they,
Pfc. Brasher?
The Btry. office had to be
aired out the other day when
Lt. Powell received one of
those fragrant-smelling lett-
ers from his wife.

right after I.l. Whilldin and
S/Sgt. McCasland put in an
appearance. No fooling.
Complaints have been rec-
eived from the lmtmates of

We’d like to see pinochle
partners Suhr and Dobey get
together with Slater . and
Carmody in a session. That
should be something to see.
From the guard hut, we
hear that Jim Birkenhead,
swigging hard on Pepsi
Cola, dreams often of Tee
Dee and something strong-
er.
John Poljak won’t talk
much any more about his
tea parties. A security black-
out on his operations?

Pinch-hitting for “Sid the
Glick” is not an easy job —
so be patient with us until
he returns from seeing
whether or not a tree really
does grow in Brooklyn! ....
There’s a rumor along the
boardwalk that our 1st Sgt.
is taking up skiing. All cand-
id camera fans take note —
a picture of such a sight will
be worth REAL DOUGH.
“Russo” Lawless is hav-
ing his TROUBLATIONS
since Saturday rationing has
returned. Russo! I still cont-
end that it is made to sell
— only .... The “Clipper
Inn” is still operating on an
eight-hour basis under the
provisions of the WLB. You
may make reservations by
calling Pfc. Mendez .... If
you’re interested in hearing
a good yam or two, look up
Chaplain Lawrence and he’-
ll be, delighted to spin a few
for you.
