Now that the music makers" are back from furlough and Gin the groove" again, no time will be lost in resuming their romances with the local charmers. Of course this is in addition to our regular output of concerts, dances and parades. The boys are working hard on the Christmas concert which will be given at the U. s. O.. Sunday, 19 December. It promises to be a good show with many nov cities and innovations. Do come!
 The members of the band wish to express their regrets at Miss Stella Mazur's leaving the Wind sor Locks U. s. O. She has always been a good friend of the 96th Band and we wish her the greatest success in her new venture, what ever it may be.
 Getting back to that furlough again, it seems that the boys had a great time while on leave, and those glorious ten days will sup ply lively topic of conversation for many days to come.
 Have you gazed upon the rejuv- enated "Cliffie" Amero since his return? He's looking simmer and outer than ever, proving that his detailed program is achieving the desired results. But you are still going to lose that five, Cliff.
 Can you imagine "Georgie" D. Annolfo without the resounding assistance of a footlocker. George and his several lesser echoes Casey Rabito for one-are perform ing a great job in the barracks at morale building and we wish the best of luck in their great work.
 Girls, please take note: Tony Narcopoto, in his unlimited gener- osity on dates, "details in pre- ious issue) is now escorting young and helpless ladies on Christmas shopping tours. It is interesting to watch "Gentleman" Tony as he clears the path for his fair com panions through crowded stores and leads them directly to their desti- nation.
 Congratulations, "Freddie" Mar esh, on your recent marriage. We wish you and Anne the best of ev- erything. The No. ranor circulat- ing through the band barracks: Why is our young baritone player, Oalso, (also plays valve trombone)

ORDNANCE
 BLOCK BUSTER
By Pfc. Erwin KoerDer

There is always way to get your old army buddies back to pay you a visit. Staff Sergeant Howard Barnes left the Ordnance last July to attend school under the Army Specialized Training Program. He also left his own personal foot locker with the request that it be mailed to him. No one seemed to be sure who was to mail it and 1t was lugged back and forth to es- cape the eye of inspecting officers. Who should pop up this week but Sgt. Barnes looking for his locker! He sure seemed surprised to see it still here and not auctioned off. q forget to mention that he never left any money to have it mailed). #*
 Some newspaper headlines in "The Barracks Times" 1st edi- ton:
 Knowlson confesses in yodeling episode.
 Winters denies "It's All Off"
 Coates predicts non-combustible uses for gasoline.
 Stillwell and Thompson agree tc draw.
 Simpson den,e ankee affilia- tions.
 Mallon predicts new era of KIP
 Things are moving along as ab- normal as ever since Sgt. Platt has returned from furlough. Platt, on his return, said he didn't know if his young son is just healthy or dissatisfied with his parents, be- cause he is always squawking.
 Since the Major Bowes additions have started, the showers are filled with would-be singers. TIA Rolf was doing a swell baritone job on song and when an Ordnance Tal- ent Scout grabbed him, he sudden ly changed to tenor. However, the Ordnance has a good entry in the competition with Miss Shirley Coh- en carrying the laurels. She is swell torch singer and those who heard her sing believe she will be in on that good deal of a 3-day leave of absence, plus the $50 cash prize and New York thrown in.
 Someone always is trying to bring the comforts of home into barracks. Cpl Feeney has located book stand somehow and now has a radio, a picture and clean towel upon it. As yet, however, no books.
 There was a good reason for the basketball team piling up big score last Monday night against the 902nd. Yep! They just got new flashy uniforms. The question now arises Should they get new ones each week ?" Maybe the bowling teams should try some new method to dazzle the opponents eyes.
 Every American Army Company or Detachment usually has sprinkling of various states and na- tionalities represented. In our outfit we have two soldiers of Mexican descent, Guzman and Avila. Both can read, write and speak Spanish fluently. If any of you girls have boyfriends in Mexico or Spain let Guzman write your letters. l won't guarantee he will write what you dictate. Their only eccentric trait is that they get up every morning at O6OO.
 The boys took visit to the 1000 inch carbine range and have now satisfied themselves that there are higher numbers than 12 to be gained by shooting. Most everyone was enthused with the carbine as an overseas weapon.

Eastern Highs baseball players have

series tilts the Ramblers have a

Roosevelt. Among the hefty hitters
at Eastern are Dave Osman, 900:

Among the other schoolboy leaders
are Charley Howard, Roosevelt. 500,

fortitude-that he wasn't good

would make him at least a passable
player.
Now everybody is wondering.
Clary is giving the Mats better third
base protection than they've had
since Ossie Bluege was occupying
the position He's hitting $40 and
in II games he has swatted nine
doubles, obtaining four of them
leading off in the first inning.
The tip-of could have been given
by Clary in the final month of the
1912 season. He wasn't worth
dime as hitter until then. but in
that final month he batted .375. He
was playing second base then, too,
and the reason he may not have
been good at it was because he
never had played the position be-
fore.
Clary has been coming up with
plays at third base that haye
stamped him the most improved
player in the league. Now they're
saying he has ability. Of what he's
shown them in a dozen games this
