high honor achieved by the
same organization in World
War I.
In that war, the battalion
was one of only three engineer
units to win the Croix de Guerre
and the only organization of
the nth to gather that distinc-
ton. 1t was cited for the cam

Argonne. The present battalion
was reactivated last March at
Fort Jackson in South Carolina,
five miles east Of Columbia.

The Brighter Side

QUITE coincidentally, I assure
~ you, there came TO hand,
just as I had completed my
column on the public relations
departments of the armed serv-
ice, a letter and a batch Of ma
terial that illustrates my thesis.
II is from Pvt, Norman st
Denis, whose name is familiar to
all New York sports writer's, not
only because of his distinguished
sire, Walter St. Denis, but be-
cause of Normans own industry
for years in publicizing various
celebrated expositions of the
manly art Of scrambling ears,
otherwise known as boxing.
AT al years of age, Norman
finds himself in the army and
back at his old business of press
agentry, this time for the 302d
Engineer Combat Battalion. now
on .maneuvers in Louisiana.
Aside from the subject matter,
Norman's communication bears
the same mimeographed aspect
as the stuff that used 10 come
from him when he was ballyhoo-
ing one of Mike Jacobs presen-
tationS.
The service. he admits, is a
trifle tough on the body eSpe-
cially when it comes to sleeping
in pup tents on maneuvers, but
what he is more interested in is
the 302d Engineer Combat Bat
talon, "a great organization, " he
remarks, waxing truly press
agentic, "in fact, about the best
in the service"
