and there were hosts Of others but
they are too numerous to mention
but you can see from the partial
list above that the boys were get
ting their eyes full Of Hollywood
and everyone enjoyed the program
to the fullest extent. The show
got out at 1918 p. m, the convoy
to Camp Ham starting to leave
Immediately, and our regiment did
not pull out until midnight. We
left by little different route so
as to get out Of all the heavy Hol-
lywood traffic but we were soon
back on the course over which we
came. Going back a trife slower
because the dangers Of night driv-
ing were numerous and it pays to
be careful, although there were
a couple Of mishaps there was
nothing serious. It got a little
chilly and made riding in the back
Of the trucks just little on the
miserable side and we didn't ar
rive in camp until almost five
o'clock on Monday morning. Nat
urally everyone hit the bunk and
was soon sound asleep. That morn
ing when the bugler blew his horn
it was just like playing taps over
a grave yard because the bugler
was the only soul moving at that
hour Of the morning and everyone
in camp was so sound asleep that
it would have been next to i'm
possible to awaken any one in
camp. We were allowed to sleep
as late as we cared to but most
of them got up to eat combined
breakfast and dinner at 1890 and
to get paid at HOO o'clock. Pay
day in the Army is always a holt
day and regardless Of how tired
the boys were the camp was next
to deserted that evening. The next
morning there were lot of weary
soldiers but everyone managed to
hit the line right on the dot.
Last Tuesday noon we heard a
roaring noise and it sounded like
something like tornado but there
right above us in the sky was the
worlds largest airplane, the Bio.
It put an ordinary bomber to
shame and made the fast pursuit
planes that were conveying it look
like fees. The pilot on this first
test flight brought it down on the
the March Field runway with his
steady hand and made a perfect
landing with the huge airship. 1t
is now over at the field under
guard and is scheduled to go on
some more test flights in the near
future.
Last Sunday when most Of the
Battery was gone to Hollywood, Jim
Pangburn was one of the boys who
stayed in camp. An old friend by
the name Of Wayne Carpenter
came to camp to visit the lads
and it was practically deserted
but he was welcomed by Jim.
When it came near supper time
everyone was very hungry so he
took it upon himself to make sup
per for the whole outfit so he
proceeded to make cheeseburghers
for them all.
We also had another visitor in
camp by the name of Eddie Sly
who is working in an aircraft plant
out here.
Mrs. Keldahl and her son, Paul,
visited Sgt kelly" Keldahl out
here last Sunday.
Andy Steffes and Al Blank re-
ceived their discharges from the
U. s. Army today and they should
be on their way home any day
now. Lucky bums!! Also Yes
Berg came back from school and
rejoined the battery and he was a
sight for sore eyes for most of
the boys and he was glad to get
back.
A rather bold soldier had a girl
out for the first time and when
he brought her home that night
he thought it no more than fair
to receive a kiss for his attentions.
He: How about a kiss?
She: :. . (Silence)
He: I said how about a kiss
She: (Still no answer)
He: What's the matter-are you
