 The next scene takes place in the operating room with the sur geon, Major Operation, and his as- sistantS all ready. Chess offered, and has been called in, to help as all the nurses have joined the Army. Porky calls for his trephine, gets no response, and looking around he is just in time to see the draft board marshalling out his assistants. Chess is the only one left so she hands him his instru- ment. With delft stroke he opens the dura and just then the draft officials remember that they had forgotten him. They reach in and grab him by the neck, lifting him clean off his feet and out the door.
 Chess on seeing this sings the haunting, When You Gotta Co., You Gotta Co.," then kissing Porky goes off to join the Army, too. Poor Porky lies there with his head off and sings, 'I Ain't Got Mo- body" as the curtain falls. Hope you didn't-Iva Feeling, U. R. SmartO

 With a tilted nose which she got by pressing it against office win dows, and flashing eyes, she would walk through the corridors making workers cross-eyed trying to take in all her sensuous curves But enough of Chess, men.
 Porky, of course, is member of the productive clerical force slightly in need of physical reha- bilitation (might we suggest the ar my) whose pocketbook is as flat as his chest.

Anonymous Letters Thrown In Basket
SOCIETY EDITOR

We, the members of the Sub staff, desire to extend our thanks to all our anything but friends, and wish to advise these anony- nous letter writers that all such mail is read and then gently filed in the waste paper basket.
 It is our contention that these people, so strong in their condem- nation of others and their efforts in writing, are pertty meek when it comes to adding their signatures to their accusations.
 If their criticisms are above re- proach, we ask the question, why are they bashful about signing their handiwork?
 We would be only too accommo- dating and would gladly put in print their opinions of some of our E. B. members, although we doubt if Sub" readers are interested in their personal grievances.
 Even at two ninety eight, it's "eheep, cheep."

Steve M'Grath Loses Mother

To the outside gentry, he is bet ter known as J. Steven McGrath President of the Electric Boat Athletic Club, but to US in the yard and on The Sub, he's just Steve. Our own Steve has had the ex- perience that all and Sundry must sooner or later face, and that is the loss of the motherly part of the branch of the family.
 Thank the merciful God above, I still have mine and want to keep her longer. To Steve, all can say is, we of the Sub send our deepest and sincere sympathies to you in this your period of great trial.

 Oh, how many hearts are longing For cordial word of praise, For a smile of recognition
 That will cheer their dreary days! Everywhere are men whose 1abors Earn for them our friendliness, And that frank appreciation We should readily express. Life is brief and time is f1eeting Always there is urgent need For fraternity and kindness; Yet we pay so little heed To the problems of our fellows; Men must have encouragement And full credit for their efforts Or they cannot feel content. Let's resolve to greet our neighbors With a friendly word each day; Let's be more than merely civil As we rush along life's way; Each of Us should scatter sunshine That will gladden. every mile, For the souls of men are yearnlng For the comfort of a smile.

Presidential elections mean poll

Students may still enroll Tues
day and parents wishing additional
information may communicate With
their respective pastors or, if they
are not members Of any church,
with the Rev. Mr.. E. L. Carter, dean
of the school.
This year, instructors say, the stu
dents are more serious in their at
titude and the cooperation is eX-
ceptional. While the service has
taken some of the leaders, service
mems wives are filling the vacan-
cieS. assisting in the work of lead
ership.
Four churches form the head
quarters for the school. Beginning
and primary students who live
north of Main meet in the Saliva
ton Army headquarters, and those
! who live south of Main, in the

All junior groups meet in the
Christian church and all interme-
