The Apache sentinel., 1943-12-17

so he will be very happy. I believe
he really gets a kick out of COM
ing to the head of the stairs and
hollering, "All you chasers fall out"
You will have to hear him to under
stand how well he can do it.
The lights haven't gone out in a
long time at the stockade, which
means that nothing extra is going
on.
Our special duty men arrived this
week from various places where
they delivered general prisoners for
confinement. They report that
changes have taken place in Kan
sas, California and Colorado which
don't help soldiers to get along any
better. However, it was good to get
look around at other spots than
Arizona, the boys stated.
Our soldier of the week is Pvt.
Harold Hollis. He is every inch a
soldier and fine fellow to boot.
Salutes go forth this week to the
two Browns, Pvts. Irving L. Brown
and William N. Brown, for excel
lent performance of duty.
Pvt. Arthur c. Gilliard is really
getting on the ball in his cookery.
But, my, my, Art, you don't serve
cranberry sauce for breakfast. Sure
it makes the table look nice. How
ever, I'd rather have mine at a later
meal. Don't forget it for our Christ
mas dinner!
Good neighbors for the boys at
the stockade are the WACS. mas.
much as they are just across the
road it's not a long walk away eth
er. PvtS.. William Jones and Her
shall Overstreet can get there in no
time at ALL The only thing they
hate is that the Post ON. Det. is be-
tween them and the WACs. No, fell
lows, don't quit You're always well
come at the WACs, or am 1 talking
too much? Maybe the WACs have
something to say about that.
Well, we're beginning to think in
terms of Christmas. We're planning
another gala party and dinner so
you people better get lineup for the
fun at our house. It'll be open house
and more fun than Thanksgiving.
The Post Stockade Detachment is
getting all things under way for an
enjoyable Christmas dinner, which
promises to be a superb affair. Our
co, Capt. j. r. Juliusson, has pur-
chased a full-grown Christmas tree
which is being decorated for Christ
mas day.
With morale high, and the over
all picture gratifying, we contem-
plate an enjoyable occasion. Our
1st Sgt. Tartt is supervising the
preparation of the dinner, and we
know that he will really come on,
as he always does on occasions of
this kind.
Pfc. William E. Knight is going on
furlough, which he so richly de-
serves. We hope for Pvt. Knight a
very Merry Christmas with his folks
at home.
The Detachment is very sorry to
have lost Pvt. Willie Horn, who was
transferred to the Air Corps, but
we are proud to know that one
member Of our Detachment was
found to be eligible for such dis
tinctive service.
The Detachment received nine
men last week who were transferred
from Post Hq. Detachment, and
they seem to be very nice group
OF soldiers. We hope they will like
our Detachment.
When Christmas comes near so
do the Christmas boxes, and the De-
tachment really is receiving them
this year. Boxes, packages, and SO
many letters are coming in every
day from her and the folks at home.
The packages read do Not Open
Until Christmas" which does not
mean much in itself, for some have
already been opened.
Well, that's all right, it's better to
open them and ease your mind
after all!
Who was that who received that
big box few days ago? Oh, yes, it
was Pvt. James Anderson. That's
right, Anderson, don't open until
Christmas. You know Curiosity
killed the cat.
We extend to S/Sgt. Joseph Arme-
lin, who is sick in William Beau
mont General Hospital, another
wish for recovery and we sincerely
hope he can be with us at Christ
mas.
Sgt. Paul P. Payne is going to the
West Coast, to spend Christmas al
