PersonaIi1ed Petticoats
AMUSING Idea

One of the more amusing ideas
originating lately is to wear a
bright-colored petticoat under 4
dark froek. The petticoat is hand
embroidered at the knee in front
with an elaborate motif in which
is written out some favorite say
ing-clever, patriotic or sentiment
tai. This fancy-by Valentino
should go over well with the young
crowd.

From farmer 70 Sergeant Major
OF Keesler Fields Station Hospital
in slightly more than two years
IS quite a Jump even for energetic
N. Sgt. Howard Aaron. Sergeant
Aaron, who possesses one OF me
friendliesr smiles on the Field, has
made his Medical career one huge
success as is evidenced by his three
stripes and rockers.
Short, friendly Sergeant Aaron
Is an ideal Medic. Despite The fact
that his office is one Of the most
important and active offices in the
Hospital, the Sergeant is always
cheerful regardless Of the many
irksome problems that come TO his
attention.
As Sergeant Major he is directly
responsible TO Capt. Sanford II,
Hamilton, Hospital Adjptant, and
supervises the activities OF the
enlisted personnel, checks all cor
respondenee and, most important,
the various medical reports that
come TO his desk-work which
calls for a wide knowledge Of
medical terms as well as clerical
accuracy.
Hailing from Kennel, Mo, he
worked on his fathers farm until
he entered the Army in January
1910. He was one OF the first
Medics to report here in August,
1941, and was assigned to the Hos
pital Registrars Office where he
subsequently became Chief Clerk.
In November, l941, he married
the former Miss Lucille Dunser OF
Chillicothe, Mo, and two weeks
ago their first child, Marilyn Jean,
was born.
Sergeant Aaron was one of SO
enlisted men of Keesler Field dis
charged last weekend to accept
appointments as Warrant Officers.
