Two Boys Adopted
As Mascots in Sicily
By the Associated Press.


You may remember stories about
American soldiers teaching German
youngsters to play baseball during
days of occupation after the World
War. Here are couple of stories
which show that the doughboy gets
along with the youth of occupied
territory today just as well as he
ever did.
Both these stories, which have
Just drifted back from Sicily, are
about mascots-and both of them
are called Johnny.
The first ones real name is Clio
vanni He's a 12-year-old Sicilian
raid and whose father hasn't been
heard from since he went off to the
Russian front.
Johnny wandered into the bivouac
of an armored division medical
battalion near Palermo. At first he
just sat on the stubble Of a wheat
field and sang solemnly to himself.
Soon the soldiers began to talk and
Joke with him and to share their
C rations. Johnny moved in as
mascot.
Now he goes about with his civil
ian clothes rounded out with a pair
OF CT shoes and CT cap. He
wears the medical battalion's Red
Cross armband and-most proudly
of all-the divisions patch sewed to
his sweater. His salute is famous
and he clicks his heels like the
generals snappiest aide.
Johnny is most famous for his
voice, and once gave performance
for a nearby British unit at the
request of its officers. His repertoire
includes Italian translations of ooh,
Johnny" "The Butcher Boy" "The
'Woodpecker Song" and an imprint
able number about Mussolini.
The most touching display of
Johnny's wistfulness to be one of the
gang came on the first payday after
he Joined up" AS the men lined
up he shyly handed the company
commander, Capt. R. M. Pruyn
Yonkers, N, Y, an envelope contain
ing few lira he had earned around
camp. Then he got into line and
received his money all over again.
The other "Johnny's" real name i!
Abdul, or Mohammed Ali, or some
thing. No one remembers any more
An artillery brigade picked him W
at Sidi Bel Abbes, Morocco, and h,
has served as an interpreter will
the 9th Division in Sicily. He
now attached as "one-man army
to the headquarters of the militar,
commander of the Palermo district
He's a 10-year-old Arab replete witt
side arms and half-pi regulation
uniform.
il When this Johnny first reporte,
to headquarters. he was wearing al
empty pistol holster. The com
manding officer gave him a 80 O
i his own. Johnny accepted it CRATE
fully, but as he left he retrieved hi
own gun from a nearby piano
where he had hidden it 80 tn
colonel wouldn't take it away" H
trusts his new friends more now.
Johnnys most remarkable fea
was the single -handed capture of
civilian who had cornered quantitie
of bread and was running a blacl
tnarket.
