ORDNANCE BLOCK BUSTER

In these busy days of fighting l guess some people wonder when a soldier finds time to write a column. We'll, this CT has recently been writing his while waiting for chow in that long line that has started recently during the lunch hour. Nothing like taking advantage of an opportunity to use time profit ably. This disproves the theory that people write better with their feet above their head. I do better on an empty stomach-or do I?
 Quite a few of the boys in the Ordnance are sporting new stripes. There is unique tradition in the Ordnance of giving a newly pro- noted soldier a cold shower, either clad or unclad. I think the privates get the most fun out of the cere- mony. It is especially humorous when the last clean suit of under wear, socks, etc., get wet with Sat urday inspection just a few hours hence. Some think the ceremony is all wet. Suppose the way to beat the rap is to put in for furlough near the end of the month. How ever, there is always the possibility of being too optimistic. Have to

 Guy Borreli-recently of the En- gineers-is so fed up with his many doubting colleagues who question his jump from plane, that he is willing to give a repeat perfor- nance at any independently at night, he says. Since he is out of practice he would like to make this jump with parachute.
 Those two delightful young fel- lows: Fleming the "Beaut" and Husky, the Scholar" had better

have a chat with a zebra to see how he does it without getting wet.
 Along the line of stripes you should see our chief clerk, Master Sergeant Carey. He can hold his own with anyone when it comes to a stripe display. The usual three above and three below plus seven service stripes. That uniform com mands respect-you know. Sgt. Carey also has sweet tooth-ev- erytime he reaches in that bottom drawer of his desk he doesn't al ways pull out paper.
 Years back there was quite de- bate over which should be the stan- dard for currency-gold or silver The great orator, William Jen- nings Bryan couldn't convince Con- gress to use silver as the gauge so gold won the vote. Some army chiefs must have tried to make Bryan happy by rating silver high CT than gold in army officer ranks All these thoughts started since I've seen It. Young with a new silver bar.

each enlisted man visits the PIX, on the average, once day-these fig ures from report compiled by Pvt. Snafu. In the PIX there are lots of good things to buy plus lots of girl clerks. Either one of the two is a good reason for visit-take your choice. Recently one persistent am- munition man was trying to learn a PIX queens name but all she told him was her initials A. P. & T. That sounded too much like armor piercing and tracer, so all he asks for now is merchandise.

 I suppose everyone is unhappy now that Halloween is over and all the masks have been removed. l was at a party Halloween night and who should win first prize as the best costumed?

Honestly boys, our nerves can't stand many more of those tense moments when that un- happy sextette (as chance would have it) assemblies at the Villa.
 Will some young lady who can breathe and listen to a voluminous philosophical discussion on the at traction of the sexes step forward so that our romantic dreamer, Tony Marcopoto, can meet you. Opera, theatre dates, full course dinners, and many other tender endear- ments will be heaped upon you. (Mind you! not lightly.)

 Who said "Tch, Tch" Caroselli doesn't respond to feminine charms? At a recent party, in his arrogant honor, this superlative, super-charged Detroit dynamo had out-distanced his rivals by so much that any further attempts on the part of his competitors to charm the girls were useless.

Who Does Your
Thinking?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Hold on you are going to say. Il
do my own thinking No one tells me
what to say!"
Perhaps that is true-but is it your
head or your heart or your cussedness
that dictates what you think?
We are no nation of regimented
slaves. What restrictions we have
placed upon us, what regulations we
obey, we accept of our own free will.
They are our laws, and we will obey
them because they are traffic signals
at dangerous curve in the road.
We are no nation of group thinkers
an American Europe, drawn each
way by conflicting interests and ham
strung at every turn by barriers of
age-old misunderstandings. We are
free men who cooperate but who do
not belong in groups. Under our demo
cratic form of government we are free
| to determine our own thoughts, and
that implies personal responsibility
as to what we let rule our thoughts
our head, our heart or our cussedneSS.
When our head rules, we can think
calmly and dispassionately and de
termine what is the logical course to
pursue for our own interest. When our
heart rules, we follow our emotions,
too often mistaking the will o-the-wisp
of fancy for the steady flame of ideal
ism. When our cuSsednesS rules, We
obey our prejudices based
on lack of knowledge of our brothers
needs or motives.
Just as we need three branches of
government to check the usurpatiOn of
power by any one, so we need to let
the three-head heart and cussedness
-rule our thoughts.
Unquestionably we must first think
with our heads, for we need clear and
logical thought. We need to face and
asSimiate facts to be realistic an(
practical in time of national tension
But we must also think with Oul
hearts, that we may add the leaveI
of compassion to our thoughts, that We
may have faith and hope and charity
that we may work in harmony witt
our fellow Americans because we thinl
in harmony with them.
TO these two we must add the spice
of cuSsedness, turning it from persona
prejudiceS against people to an active
determination to fight a thing-an evi
which seeks to divide and disrupt, {,
set religion against religion, race
against race, class against clasS-anC
even to set Labor against LabOr-a1
evil which seeks TO control by destruc

personnel and plant; efficient trans
portation of materials, personnel and
products; Improvement of designs and
use of tools and fixtures; and reduction
of absenteeiSm. 1t is felt, moreover,
that when representatives of labour
and of management meet together for
the free interchange of opinions in
regard to production problems, the
spirit of mutual confidence which can
result will in itself have beneficial
effect on moral and on output.
1t is considered that wages, hours,
conditions of work, and similar mat
ters, which are ordinarily regarded as
subjects for determination by collective
bargaining procedures, should be eX-
cluded from the functions of labour-
management committees, as it is not
intended that these committees should
supercede or interfere with organized
trade unions.
