 Genial Gerry Crean, tall and able sports editor of the New Britain Herald, seldom, if ever, files off the handle,' but he seems to have been more than a little put out by the criticism of few fight fans who "beefed" in High c, because they got but nine, rather than ten ad- vertised amateur boxing bouts last Monday night at the Stanley Arena. The little fellows with the big mouths" JolCing Gerry calls 'em, with the punch-line to the pasting in print reading as follows: "as true as am present at this desk at least TWO of them had gotten in on PASSES" In conclusion, Gerry jars 'em with this one: ito the PIC- AYUNE minority who did the hol- lering ;. well, there's nothing in Webster's dictionary that can al- low a fellow to SAY what he is THINKING. They make me sick" (Ed. Note: That's telling 'em off, podner, and it's nothing but the TRUTH you've written, me laddy- buck.)

 The girls all looked pretty super last Tuesday night at the USO formal. We hope the boys appreci- ate the efforts of all the "belles' when they turn glamorous.

 Warning-Pfc. Joe Sevino. Not being a resident of Connecticut, we wish to advise you for your per sonal welfare that kidnapping is a very serious charge. After all Joe, what would we do if the Secretary of the Women's division were kid- mapped :? .
 We wonder why Irene Daglio, a once ardent supporter of the local USO no longer holds any interest in attending the functions held vain to learn the name of the per Tech. Sergeant is responsible for your nonappearance? After all, Irene, we do recall the evening you two made each others acquaint- ance. Is that old saying, "Love at first sight" proving itself?
 Sorry to hear Pfc. Joe Barberi had to go to the station hospital. But why the long stay? Was 1t the effects of a tummy ache or could the environment have been such a morale builder that a longer stay was the only solution? You know Joe you are supposed to be tough hombre. What have you to say in self-defense?
 The Winchellettes have tried in there. Can it be a certain blonde son who received advice from Pfc. Casper Robito on the problem of matrimony. In so far as we have been unsuccessful in our probe, we are at a standstill to give any further results. More data is nec- essary. So give, boys, give.
 
 There was a splendid turnout for the Band Concert last Sunday night at the local USO. Much credit goes to the boys and especially to Pfc. Guy Borrelli and Pfc. Casper Rabito who featured speciality numbers. They were really great!

 Whats the matter with the Sat- urday night dances at he USO? There seems to be a shortage of both gals and boys at these affairs. Can it be that Saturday isn't good night for such things?
 Who's the versatile member of the illustrious Band who swears by the slogan that tits better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all ?" He sounds to us as though he's the sorry victim of an "unrequited love"

 Judging from all reports, the Doyle-Johnson wedding seemed to be the event of the sason.
 We've been watching Ann Ma troni lately turning the charm on for Cpl. Herb Resin, ace drummer of the Bradley Band, and we're curious to know if she's had any success. Watch out Ann-Herb has a wicked line!
 We've been wondering how Mary Conray can stand the wear and tear of good-byes. For the past two week ends she's been well enter tained by men in uniform, but then come the blue Mondays when part ing is such sweet sorrow. Tell us how it's done, will you Mary?
