az the mall orderly can give YOU
ample proof. It's a warming sight
to see the eager receivers gathered
around with an attentive ear watt
ing for their names to be called.
Among tn many new faces in the
company are: Sgts. Sykes, Patton.
Westcott, Davis, Tate, Palm and
Bell, also many others that haven't
had the chance to meet. Already
they're pitching in to do their part.
The company extends a most hearty
welcome-we like you already and
here's hoping that this feeling will
become mutual.
A steady flow of traffic can be
seen leaving the company area
every evening around 7:3O and 800
en- route to the new NCO'S Mess
that everyone here has given their
stamp of approval Some of the al
most nightly attendants are: Sgts.
White, Frazier, Baugh, Wilkinson,
Kutch, Bivens, and many others in
various grades on "Open House"
nights. The other stream of quick
moving traffic in the evenings is
on its way to War Department. The
ater No. 8. It's traffic consists of
our theatre bench warmers who are
present at the change of each fea-
ture-that'S good too, it's wholesome
and very economical entertainment.
Since the news has gone out that
the WACs are planning a gala
Christmas Breakfast Dance. many
of the members are in and around
the WAC Area patching up misun-
derstandings or camouflaging the
right understanding. Those who like
to be ever-present on the social list
now have their hands full.
To those in the company who are
celebrating anniversaries, furloughs
induction, birthdays, weddings or
whatever the occasion might be-my
slncerest congratulations. Let me
know about them and they can be
more personalized.
Sgt. Butler has so manv shinv
medal gadgets on his car the OPA
or one of the puzzliing alphabetical
government agencies would like to
put in claims of priority. 1t
seems that the Buffaloes have left
all pets in our care while on man
euyers. A large collection of do
mestic pets has been accommodating
around the area. In fact, we have
SO many dogs, cats and what-have-
you that You can take your pick
maybe it's the good chow that's so
attractive. +. /. Recently, different
sections have been having workouts
and problems on the field with a
great deal of success-it only goes to
show fellaS, we're right on the ball.
The other night several men in
the company were seen gazing at
those beautiful Christmas cards in
PIX No. Is. There were not very
many sales, however, reason: there
was a price tag that told all inter-
eSted that they were worth $1.5O-
does price make that much differ
ence, boys? >. 1St Sgt. Embry has
exhibited renewed interest in No.
gales, his wife has recently returned
to that Arizona and Mexican (soane
will have it, metropolis. Cpl
Gray, our company clerk, is enjoy
ing furlough at this writing in
the city of Pittsburgh. If the folks.
are as glad to see him as he is to
see them, he must be having a time
= to be remembered.
IF any Of you have noticed a
sporty looking soldier around the
Fort who walks with proud sway
has noticeable pipe and Brooklyn
accent, that's our company's Casa
nova, Pvt. William I. Threet.
Now that the amiable Sgt. Arthur
Morris is attending an ordnance
school, the second barracks has be-
come much quieter. In the race
for winning the title of Casanova
is Sgt. Norman Palm and he may
have a chance of winning with the
able support of certain WAC.
Sgt. Patton can be seen any day
headed in the direction of the Post
Dental C1inic-Gee Sgt, the nurses
must be mighty pretty. The
company now is enjoying a privilege
that most companys would = the
bngler is on furlough. With this
little review of personalities and
happenings, yours truly says so long
until next week and Merry Christ
mas and successful New Year to
ALI"
