Small Talk

You have heard of army sizes "too big and too little" Pvt. John Crow specifically, and a few odd members of the Post gen orally. re-diScovered that even in Nome this old adage is true. Pvt Crow, who has a size 28 waist was melted and poured into brand new pair of water repellent duck "s,acks" size A Pvt. Crow is taking the act as bene ficial, however, because he fig ures that sice time army gave him such snug-ftting pants they will have to furnish enough ctoth es to fill them up. Our deduction is that everything has an opti- miStic side to it.
 There is a certain parsonage hanging around every officers quarters that we call the "offic- CTS orderly Such man is James M. Remedy. Pvt. Kennedy decided that things needed a lit tie life, so he short-sheeted few beds. To say truthfully that he picked on the Captain would be to make matters embarrassing for Kennedy, so just let it be stat ed that "a certain prominent of ficer' rammed his feet into his bunk and discovered that for some strange reason it had drawn up about three feet. Thinking he had a cramp, that certain prominent officer tried again. No luck. About that time some of the Hess prominent of ficers" encountered the same di- fficulty. Putting their heads to- gether (three heads are better than none), they finally figured it out. Summoning Kennedy, they put him to the rather un- pleasant task of making up three beds at the indecent hour of 10 o'clock. Then the poor boy had to find his way to his own bed in the darkness. I assure the readers that the post is lively enough now even for such a playful lit tie private as Kennedy.

Safety First

The first Fire Drill was satis- factorily completed one day last week. The practice drill had the distinction of the Post Bug ler's official presence. It has been long time since these old ears of ours have heard the bugle call call for "all hands to the fire barrel" ring out, and to say that it was hardly recognizable would be exaggeration. Word was pass cd around however, as to what was happening, and the results made the Fire Marshall breathe easier since the boys showed that they could easily eliminate ser iouS fire hazard.

The tanks that shou d be on the battle lines now are not produced and not even half produced' With aut going into the merits of the case, perhaps MT.

Current Comments
 From Washington

Current events have made the public flag g-conscious, and it looks as though that consciousness were destined 10 increase, ra- than diminish. Many bills design ed to prohibit improper use of the flag generally, have been in- troduced in Congress. Thus far, one of these has reached the stage of final enactment. The fact that Congress has not chosen to legislate on the subject, does not preclude the States from taking action. As a matter of fact, all of the States of the Union, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Hawaii have specific laws prohibiting the desecration and other misuse of the flag. The only piece of Federal laWmaking that is in point is an Act of Congress which forbids the use of the flag as a trade mark for goods. As was said by MT. Justice Harlan of the Supreme Court of the United States, the flag is the em blem of freedom in its truest sense. and was hard y intended for use on merchandise.
 Those wishing to pursue the matter further. will do well 10 read "Tbe Flag of the United States" a pamphlet 10 be had from the Superintendent of Docu ments, Washington, D.

Sneaky, the Flu Germ,
Reneges on an Agreement
BY DAMON RUNYON

EOR THE benefit Of any

during our brief absence from
our pulpit, we will explain that
we nave been the victim of the
most brutal case of double-cross-

than what happened to the
trusting isolationists who voted
for Mr.. Willkie.
We had an agreement with
Sneaky. the flu germ, that we
were TO give ourselves up to him
every December without resis-
lance. We had agreed that we
would not attempt to hide from
him during that month or TO
undertake any subterfuges de-
signed to thwart him, such as
innoculations or other allegedly
1mrnuniZing devices.
We were 10 remain handy to
a bed at all times during the pc
Rod mentioned so Sneaky could
tilt us over on the counterpart
with little more than a gesture
and not be put to the trouble Of
trapping us in night clubs and
other places inconvenient to
him.
IN THE interim we were sup

we pleased and he was not 10
modest us with as much as a
sneeze. Though he might be
betting other citizens right and
left. Sneaky was not TO touch
a hair OF our head until De-
cember.
That was the agreement. Yet
in late October, and with no
more notice than Hitler gave
Stain, Sneaky snuck up on us
and treacherously stabbed us in
the short ribs and brought us 10
a couch of pain.
The worst part Of II, he nailed
us far from our home grounds
and in region where we had no
reason TO think he might appear.
which is 10 say Southern Cali

He hoped on us one evening
as we, were entering our modest
hall bedroom in the good Baron
Longs hostelry and before we
again emerged. the city of Los

her population. True we were
under covers only about 10 days
but that is how fast they are GO
