dLet us take a look at my own

lovely, charming, irresponsible nit

which apparently were in danger
only between the hours Of 10 p. m.
and 8 o. m. because no female
could work between those hours. OF
course, I always did say that II we
didn't have any men in the State
OF Connecticut, we wouldn't have to
protest the morals Of the women in
Connecticut but since we do have
two sexes, one just must be protect-
ed. However, these well-meaning
protectors In combination with the
labor unions, managed to keep woIli-

years. As late as February 9th the

opposed to the Equal Rights Amend

"Then came the war. What hap

 In spite of the fact that cooper ation is a state of action that oc- CUTS rarely, that jade coincidence comes to the fore, and twice did it occur to my knowledge in the past week. Last week we mentioned that we had seen no word of SSgt. Boulanger, our French Romeo, in the USO column. By way of assist ance, S/Sgt. Boulanger went to the USO twice during the week so as to bring himself to the gals at tention. Thanks, Bouly, but it isn't necessary to go to all that trouble to get your name in print.

 The Navy, in the person of Paul Goldfracht, AMM PC, invaded our section Friday afternoon and after sleeping in barracks T-204 that night, declared that Navy mat tresses are much more comfortable. He created quite stir and many an arch glance as he was seen in the PIX by the gals. Too bad he couldn't stay longer, but he is due back at the Naval Air Station in California by the end of the week and he had to get going.

FINANCE FLASHES

There once was a time when the Connecticut rains were cursed for all they were worth, especially dur ing those fve-day stretches. But now things have changed. A rainy day is the one day when there is no exercise in the morning. One of the early risers gives the call, Its inclement," everyone goes back to bed for another hour, Gudwolski stays home, and eyerybody's happy about the whole thing. So the Con- necticut rain is rapidly becoming a friend to all.
 If anyone ever tries to tell you that the mother gets the worst end of having a baby, we'll back you up in saying they're wrong. All of us went through the ordeal with Bob Chadd last week, and believe us, it was terrible. Chadd's bounc- ing girl undoubtedly proves it was worth all the trouble, but Heaven help anyone who gets paid this month from a payroll computed by Chadd during his time of stress. Cigars were distributed, as the time-honored custom demands, but for once a non-stinking variety, so mild even Sol could have indulged without harmful effects. Congratu lations, Chadd, from all of us.
 The boys who really get up and out there in the cool early morn ing are beginning to wonder when Batten and Whitbeck are going to show up on time for a roll call.

 If Cpl. Mary, last name un- known of the 708th WAC's wishes to know who she was whistling for on the phone Friday night, the 22nd, we recommend that she look up Cpl. Petty of the 77th.
 In an effort to earn and keep Capt. Goodwin's commendation, the boys here are doing intensive studying. Cpl. Petty reads Web ster's Dictionary, Cpl. Magnus has gone through a good percentage of our Field and Technical Manuals, and to top things off, Pfc. Cooper sits around reading a Chemical Dictionary in their jealous quest for knowledge.
 We are forced to thank Pfc. Cooper for some of our deepest laughs. One of the boys told a joke ((?) which elicied no hilar- ious response until ninety seconds had elapsed when out of a clear sky, Cooper roared with mirth, up- setting a definitely quiet congrega- ton. Olso: it seems that Cooper kissed his blond girl friend in Hart ford and not until he had almost fallen in did he realize that she had no teeth.

has been reported to us that Phil Rudy Reed has been spending con- siderable time in Springfield. Why is it you run up there for every spare moment, Phil ?Is it that there's some definite attraction, or do you just want to get away to get good nights sleep for a change? The real question in our minds, though, is why do they call you Rudy?
 Then someone else wanted to know what it is that makes Linus T. Baker so popular with all the young women. They tell us he has more WACs on the string than anyone else on the Field. It has been suggested that they look upon him as a real herman. Anyone de- string to meet Sgt. Baker will find him performing his usual duties in the Base Finance Office, Officers Pay Section. You'd better watch Tyour step, though, because he claims to have some sort of con- nection with the opposite sex in Baltimore.

In the statement hat he beat S.B. to the interest of impartiality, com mittee should be appointed to get to the bottom of this nefarious mat ter. NCO's being beaten by TITS and T/6's is unheard of, but, my sadistic readers, wouldn't you relish mauling of a M/Sgt. by a Pri- vate? Wouldn't you?

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 16.-Frank
Sinatras starlight serenade Satur-
day night in the Hollywood Bowl
was success, by feminine reaction
and by his own admission.
The setting was ecstatic. The oc-
casion, debated beforehand by de-
tenders of the bowls classical tradi-
tions and devotees of Sinatra's
swoon-inspiring brand of vocal ex-
pressions, was auspicious. The Sc
date Los Angeles Philharmonic Or
chestra provided his accompaniment.
Sinatra delivered nine supersenti-
mental ballads before one OF the
largest throngs the bowl has en-
braced, and then spoke this piece:
Il understand there was quite q
controversy over my appearance
here. only want to say that those
who thought I shouldn't appear
seem to have lost out in big way"
His audience of subdebs, a heavy
sprinkling of starry-eyed middle
aged women and host of somewhat
restive escorts virutally filled the
bowl, despite the management's Of
f1cial announcement that they COM
prised the military limit-10 900.
The bowls peacetime capacity is
10000.
They giggled and chartered i'm
patiently through As minutes of
Moussorgsky. Rimsky- -Korsakof and
Straus, rendered by the orches-
ira under the baton of Vladimir
Bakaieinikof. while waiting for
Sinatra to complete a broadcast
elsewhere.
Whisked to the bowl shortly after
10 pm, Sinatra was greeted by a
chorus of signs and means that
eddied and surged almost unceas-
ingly thereafter, reaching .Wailing
Wall proportions with Might and
Day"
This ("My favorite song Of all
time" says Sinatra) was the nights
high light. Plaintive sobs, gasps and
