other exciting and interesting acts.
Even though this was the second
time this troup has hit camp, the
audience was every bit as enthus-
iastic and appreciative as they were

with more clamoring for admit

Annual Inspection
Colonel Hooker, inspecting offic-

belt last Tuesday and Wednesday,
June Bird and 4th. His two-day tour
covered buildings, equipment and
personnel, leaving nothing unseen
or unnoticed. The personnel was
inspected in the battery streets,
each man trim and neat, with his
weapons in first-class shape. Bat
terry mess halls, kitchens, supply
rooms, orderly rooms and the mems
quarters were next in line. Exam
nation of all vehicles at the motor
pools followed. All the records had
to be ready for the inspecting Of
ficer; tools in order, and motors
clean. When the trip was finished
the Colonel probably knew more
about us than we do ourselves.

they received orders that there was
to be an inspecting officer from the
Inspector Generals Department to
make the annual inspection the
very next day. Unlike the regular
Federal Inspections Of the good
old Camp Riply days when the
boys could spend several weeks in
preparation for this annual event
and could have everything in tip
top shape, they were now taken
completely by surprise and there
was no putting it off for the great
event was to take place the very
next morning, or some high Of
fetal would know the reason why.
So late into the night it went,
scrubbing floors on hands and
knees, polishing brass and shin
ing the mess kits until they were
spotless, getting out the best of
uniforms and pressing them over
again until everything was immac-
ulate and then everyone put mir
ror like surface on all of their
shoes. Then to make matters worse
and just trifle more annoying
the bugler whose life isn't worth
much because he wakes everyone
up so early) blew his horn at $40,
which is exactly one hour earlier
than we are accustomed to getting
up and for long time everyone
was walking around half asleep.
But the final touches were put on
everything and everyone was conf
dent that the inspection would
come off perfect. In the best of
military promptness, the inspecting
officer, Colonel Hooker, arrived at
o'clock on the dot and began his
tour Of inspection with the Regi-
mental Headquarters Building,
from there he went directly to our
battery where he was received by
1t. Cole and he started through the
ranks. In those ranks there was
not one Sank Centre man who was
not shaking in his boots for fear
he would be asked a question which
he knew anything about, or that
his uniform was not entirely up
" Shuii, IhdI tilcIc LllSuI NC q
speck Of dust on that gun; that
same old fear again that you might
do something which would bring
discredit to your unit. But in a
few moments it was all over, moth
ing too drastic was out of order,
and Regimental Headquarters had
stood one more inspection.
Skeet Shooting Field
An area just north of and ad-
jacent to the Camp Small Arms
Range has been allocated for skeet
shooting. Time will be allocated
to organized groups of officers up
on application to the Station Hos
pital through Regimental or separ-
ate unit commanders. Many of
the 217th officers who have been
keen skeet fans in the past, can
now go down and bag a few clay
pigeons now and then. There is no
doubt but what this sport will be
popular with all our officers.

this past week and do mean one
Of them was lucky - and that man
was Tony Proell. Tony is to leave

land, to attend a 2-months basic
course in motor mechanics. He and

are to make the trip and they are
to go to Maryland by way Of the
southern route through New Or
leans and up and that ought to be
quite some trip. Elmo Matthiesen
got the call to go to the Preside
of San Francisco to attend a ~
weeks course in motor mechanics
He left about four days ago and
has already written back to the
boys and from what I gathered he
likes the place. Yes Berg Is al
ready there and will be back in
about a month but in that time they
ought to have quite a time to-
gether.
Yesterday we lost our Command
ing Officer for the second time.
First Captain Carl Fischer left us
to take his position on the STAFF
and he was replaced by 1t. Cole
and now 1t. Cole has left us to
take his position on the Staff as
Communications OFFICER. He was
replaced by 1t. Berkly r. Lewis
formerly with End Battalion Head
quarters Battery from Crosby,
Minnesota. 1t. Lewis has just come
back from Fort Monroe where he
attended a 12-weeks' course and
he took over our battery immed-
lately upon his return.
Last week the Master Gunners
crew which includes Sgt. Dickhaus,
Donnie Ethun and Bud Soltau
went up the Mojave Anti-aircraft
Range to do some important work
Well 1t seems as though they all
brought along full packs and were
going to get lot Of sleep that
night but they got fooled. All
night long they worked without
any sleep and they began to COM
plain somewhat on account Of the
lack Of sleep. But they made up
for it when they returned back to
camp. And speaking of sleep, the
sleeping bags ought to be here any
day now and we can turn in the
packs for good and that will be
pretty nice. Here Is something else
that happened on that same trip:
A Corporal from the 65th CA (AA)
also went along in the recon car
with Bud Soltau and the rest of
them. He was to relieve a buddy in
the Medical Detachment which was
encamped just on the outskirts of
Barstow. Naturally the convoy
stopped and waited for the Corpo-
raj to go to his ofn unit. Now it
seems as though this guy had been
to Barstow many times before and
he was very well acquainted and
in fact he had couple 8 or 4 girl
friends. his is quite an accomplish
nent as Barstow isn't so very big
after all and he was pretty proud
Of himself. He informed the driver
to drive down a certain street and
thereby going past his best girls
house and there was a possibility
that she might be out in the front
porch or thereabouts so he could
see her just for moment. When
they were yet about block and a
half from the place when the ex-
cited Medic told the driver to slow
down as they were nearing the
place. Upon arriving in front of

the house he told the driver to
honk the horn and there happened
to be two little kids on the front
porch. He shouted a greeting to the
little boys and got all set for date
that night. then turning to Bud
he said, "They will go in and tell
her about me and everything will
be set for tonight" About this time
Salty said, $50 this Is where your
gal friend lives?" why every SOL
dier who has ever been in Barstow
or vicinity has taken her out, in
fact I have even had her out my
self about three weeks ago." The
Medic had an astonished look on
his face and said, who Betty?"
Salty promptly answered mo, 1t
was Louise" with a beaten express
sion on his face he muttered, "Ta
heck" From this point on the
Medical man didn't say another
word for the rest of the trip. Now
here is the pay aft: Salty claims
he had never been in the town
Of Barstow before except on a
convoy through there, and he just
happened to guess her name out
Of clear sky. But we are wond-
ering whether or not he has been
holding out on US.
Jess Clough has been going into
town every night after drill and
naturally he has home there and
about the only means Of transpor-
tation to and from the city of
Riverside is by bus. One morning
1t was getting sort Of late (about
6:15) and no sign Of Jess yet, and
we sort of got to wondering If he
was sick. About Is minutes later
he showed up with greasy hands
and a dirty pants, and naturally
we all wondered where he had been
to get so dirty. Well it seems as
though this particular morning the
bus would not start so Jess took it
upon himself to see what he could
do about it and as he Is some
what mechanically minded he got
it started but not until he had
gotten all dirty. For all his trouble
the bus company gave him a free
ride to camp.
Quite a bit of mail from Laguna
Beach has been coming into camp
and a very good share Of it has
been coming direct to our battery.
Yesterday a certain fellow Il dare
not mention his name) got letter
from Laguna and he was quite
thrilled over the whole thing and
he promptly went about answering
it as he had visions Of building up
a beautiful friendship. Well he
shaved about 2 hours penning a let
ter and finally got it mailed and
then a little while afterwards one
of his friends came into his tent
and they began talking as soldiers
naturally will do. One thing led to
another and finally he mentioned
letter that he had received
from Laguna Beach. This fellow
noticed the handwriting was some
what similar to the one he had
received so he got inquisitive and
finally found out that the two let
tiers were from the same girl. They
both thought it quite joke and his
friend remembered another guy
who heard from the same girl and
all together there were such let
tiers from the same person. Now
this seems to be getting to be sort
of a regimental problem but just
as how It is going to be solved
is still question.
The boys were slightly taken by
