T rale *»aii by Milton Can iff, creator of "Terry and the Pirates- nw,_ ssv\ Target of Opportunity Organization Jlews After 19 months on The Rock, Tec 5 Rocha has fin- ally taken a trip to Reykja- vik. He was surprised ftt many things that he saw, so now he keeps humming “I’ll have to do that more often.” S/Sgt. Parks rung in an- other birthday, making it 33. He will he ringing in his wed- ding anniversary soon. Con- gratulations and many hap- P3' returns to you and your wife, Sarge. (You better send her a copy of the Falcon). Has anyone obliged S/Sgt. Zelinka with that certain type sausage he has been looking for? The 1+2-3 NCO Club has been going strong of late, due to a few changes and im- provements. Here’s a pat on the back for Pvt. Loyer whose suggestions have help- ed to bring about the chan- ges. Sgt. Francis J. Pesik. hard Fisher is now a red- head, following one of his paint jobs. Pfc. Bruce Paschal. ORDNANCE Added notes from Houns- low indicate that we missed a whole wigwam full of Ind- ians there. They are A1 (Chi- ef) Cesax-io, Tec 4 Fred Lup- kes, Tec 3 Joe ZacCagnini, Tec 5 Warner Parsons, Tec 4 George Bowden, and Tec 4 Charley Ice. Last weekend saw the usu- al safari to the old tenting ground called Thingvellir. Amongthose making the trek were Tec 3 Chuck Breja, Tec 3 Win Chumley, Tec 4 Frank (Bivouac Kid) Tomazin and Tec 5 Leo 'Wilczynski. No-\y that we are all through sweating, maybe Tec 5 John Berta and Tec 5 Paul (Smiley) Gustafson will knock off giving each other “going away”,parties and invite the rest of us in for a few. Our new painter Tec 5 Ric- Highlight on the, softball diamond for the week: Sgt. Martone running from sec- ond to third base. Plotting Company defeating Head- quarters Company 22-5. Headquarters claimed it was an error that beat them. Which error? Pfc. Carni and Tec 4 Kind- er are hospital casualties as result of bad falls. Hurry up and get well fellows, for we need j^ou back here. Sgt. Cantamour sliding in- to third base with his flaps down. Company A beating; Filter Comm. Company in the last inning after overcoming a big lead. Tec 5 Kress catching spark- plug for Co. C and a whiz with bat. Did you get one of those cigars that Sgt. Hadde has been passing out? The new baby boy is just what, he wanted for he already has a little girl. Tec'-'t Elvin S. Sandel. HQ#V* This column was inform- ed that a good time and plenty to eat was had by all Sunday at a picnic'given for the EM of the AG Section by the officers. S/Sgt. Ken Bunn won a pitching battle over Lt. Roitman in a close soft- ball game. Christened “Porky” by his buddies, Pfc. Bob Stuart was trying to memorize some po- etry the other day. The line was from a well known clas- sic “and there on the floor” — you know the one about the red-headed gal named Sue. This can’t exactly be interpreted to reflect the most exemplary thoughts for an MP. T/Sgt. Bill Davis. Who’s got the answer to the $64 question? What’s the difference between Young’s Cozy Kitchen and Steve’s Chop House? Answer in next week’s issue. Pop White was caught buying an Icelandic phrase book after his week in the country, and he wasn’t up there fishing. Roscoe Pace’s health is failing since he ate the fish: head, eyes, tail, fins and guts after losing a fishing bet. Gresham is running a- round pulling his hair out since someone wrecked his motorcycle doing guard duty. How does Top Kick Pusch like his vacation up in the country near Keflavik? Has anyone in the Co. seen the disappearing beer that belongs to Brookfield. Robert is still unable to find his entrenching tool. The hoys wish good luck to all the new nonconxs, espe- cially the rockers floating around these days. Anonymous. OOT NOTES V Cpl. E. Jack Gxay Several huts in Camp Broadstreet might well remind any GI of an expectant father’s ward back home. . what, with the pacing, sweating and anxiety now being in- dulged in by Cpl. Geoi’ge Kudrick of Manchester, N.H., and T/5 Bill Pfender of Chicago, 111....Bill is all pre- pared, with eight cases of beer and three boxes of cigars under his bed. . .waiting only for the telegram to set off the spark. . .Pfc. Morris Rosenheim is doing another kind of sweating but equally profuse and of about the same duration. . .He is sitting out a T/5 rating. . .All the boys are happy in Broadstreet now, enjoying the conveniences of a new latrine just installed. . .At first they were fear- ful that the well-known “horse-trough” might not give way to modern sinks. Camp Broadstreet is made up of many homogeneous outfits, including many detachments of Signal Corps out- fits as well as units of the AACS (Army Airways Com- munication System).. .Their work, while still listed as “secret,” is, suffice to say, vastly important and most of the men stationed there are trained’ technicians. . . Most of them are l'ecent arrivals in Iceland (February, March, April) and this is reflected in their morale— which is high...Such men as they are even considered “old timers” now...for they have recently been busy welcoming an even more recent shipment of men into their midst. . .A coi'dial welcome to the following AACS men, who arrived July 7th: S/Sgt. Lawrence W. Hoi'n- feck; T/5 Hei’bert G. Eisenman; T/5 Raphael T. George; T/5 Hilai’d E. Heigel; T/5 Jesse G. Hughes; T/5 Douglas R. Larsen; T/5 Gilbert J. Metz; T/5 William A. Sapper; T/5 Soloman S. Schnell; Pfc. Charles M. Humphrey; Pfc. Russell D. Hunt; Pfc. Eugene J. Stanis. Lt. Lucian P. Lanham headed the group of replacements. As announced elsewhere in the FALCON this week, another Manza—Ashworth production is under way... Opening next week in Camp Turner, “Strictly GI” is just that...Such skits as “Weak, Lame and Lazy,” “You’re On the Air” and “P. X. LeLuxe” are poignant satires on Army life as some see it. . . Nothing is spared. . . no- thing is sacred... There is even a take-off on the FAL- CON reporter (referring to whom?)...Only in this in- stance it will be THE BROWN FALCON. . .Ralph, suffer- ing all the qualms of a producer prior to a new open- ing, is feai-ful of following so closely upon the excellent “Contact Caravan” show recently seen here...But he should have no fears, for anyone knowing the Manza— Ashworth team, cannot doubt the success of such a show.
