al lth Technical
School Squadron

Another week like the last one
would leave this squadron with
nothing left but its name. Things
really happened fast. First Of the
changes was the appointment OF a
new top kick, lst Sgt. Albert T.
Nlccolai, formerly a member Of
the 4l3th School Squadron. He
stepped into a hornets nest right
of the bat with many men being
transferred to other squadrons.
Among our newer members is
Pvt. Johnnie Ealum. While he has
only been with US for about a
month, he seems to know quite a
bit about the Army. Could it be
that those five hash marks on his
sleeve have anything to do with it?
The Sunny South has gotten
under the skin Of some Of the boys
ane they are planning to form an
ice hockey team, the only draw
back being that the newly elected
captain Of the team, Pvt. Richard
Watson, has been having trouble
locating a merchant who carries
ice skates.--By Sgt. Walter Denke-

little Switzerland, and absolutist re-
action was sweeping over the world.
Then in America alone the people,
even the "ain't" saying people dared
to govern. In spite of all their mis-
takes, their selfishness, short sighted
ness, and fanaticism, they gave Amer
lea a better government than any
other great country at that time was
enjoying.
Compare with present-world
events, that period seems sublime. As
the despot Hitler scorned the judg-
ment of common men, Andrew Jack
son exhalted it. As Hitler demands
race hatred, those American leaders
extolled good will among all common
people They worked for the freedom
of the masses, the curtailment of
slavery, the Stacking Of every arbi-
trary power. There is no mystic virtue
or goodness in common people. They
are often grossly selfish, cruelty I'M
just, and sometimes err even to the
point of substitution. But they are
the worlds best hope The glory Of
America, even of Andrew Jackson's
America, is that plain folks" grandly
prove that hope is not in vain.
