T feel and believe that it is just
as important for a soldier to know
how to spend his leisure time as it
is for him to know how to do his
duty as soldier. Therefore try to
plan my leisure time SO that I may
derive the best results from it.
Z Most of my time is spent reading
or attending the movies because
they are my preference for occupy
ing myself during my free moments.
For instance, when am reading a
book or seeing a movie, place my
self in the shoes Of the characters
.and momentarily my mind may
wander thousands of miles from FIT.
Huachuca.
OF course, a portion of my time
is spent writing to my loved ones
and friends because such writing
gives me pleasure, for it recalls the
past moments that We have spent
together and future ones that we
hope to spend together. I like to
write and keep all my correspond
ence up to date.
also spend some of my time now
and then in visiting the Service
Clubs, Libraries, and Post Ex-
changes. consider these visits very
valuable because they give me the
opportunity to socialize and mix

The Gas House
Gang

The air around Fort Huachuca has
been a little easier to breath during
the past week = reason: The Gas
House Gang has not been filling the
otherwise sweet zeployrs of the Hua-
chuca mountains with irritating and
noXiouS gases.
But never you mind, the boys will
be Spewing ON or CT or what have
you-so you GIs had better have the
old gas mask handy and ready at

talon: This week has really been a
head beater as we have moved again
to a barracks of our own, and it's
really a killer. It was christened
/ just the other dawn by Cpl. Smith,
who bounced the mail clerk off the
floor. Of course it was all in the
spirit of friendliness.
Our TISgt. Stout is really on the
ball. He keeps everyone jumping
and we are now making all forma-
tions, including a hike twice week.
All the fellows in the detachment
beat their gums up about the fine
chicks that they left behind, but
very few of them have any pictures
of them, so they must be pretty sad.
Our mail clerk, Cpl. Darnes, threw
rank all over the file clerk yesterday
just as the adjutant walked up, so
now Pete is really undecided, it's
either the Pack Horse Troops" or

It's really sight to see Pvt. Hollis

HITLER'S PLAN WON'T WORK

The war in Europe and in the Far East has reached the stage foretod by Hitler when he boased that he would hold what he had acquired and let them take it who could.
 This is not literal quotation but it accurately depicts the apparent strategy of Germany.
 There is nothing to suggest that Hiter's plan will work in Europe. In Russia his armies wheeling backward without exacting any exorbtant price from the Russians In Italy his forces retreat slowly but again without inflcting prohibtve losses upon the Allied armies.
 The strength of the German war macrine is matter of uncertainty but that of the United Nations is grow ing every day. The Nazis now unable to hold dearly bought territory will be utterly unable to withstand the full assault of their enemies and military collapse will be inevitable.
 In fact this is apparent that many observers be- lieve that German army leaders will surrender before the army is destroyed fighting force This is the substance of the of early peace that have been heard throughout the world.
 The situation in Russia continues dangerous for the Germans with the Red Army always in sight of mag nfcent triumph The Nazis however, appear to avert disaster by sku retreats which enable them to escape envelopment and live to fight another day.
 The German front is unsettled with vast forces retir ing. The Nazis to have trouble in completing their withdrawals to lines from time to time, both

EARLY CHRISTMAS

Alaska is overseas" in this Therefore, Christ mas packages for service stationed here were in many instances mailed amply early. Already, many of the service stationed in the Ketchikan area have received their Christmas packages.
 Among these service men, among the rest of us gen. eraly there two schools of thought the believes in not opening packages until Christmas the other be- lieves in opening each package as it comes
 To those who hide their Christmas packages from themselves the practice of opening Christmas parcel weeks ahead of time is unthinkable. They fear their fellows who open the packages will have empty Christmas But the latter that their Christmas will be happy enough-just they know they've had a package or two.
 That must be true. We remember how some of the serving in western Alaska received their Christ mas packages from Ketchikan five months late last year. AS result Christmas must have seemer much emptier to them than if they had received their pack ages five months early.-(K (Ketdhikan Chroncle).

title. The materiel is, however, interesting, and the personal angle is neatly developed. The unlucky truth is that the ma terial has already been written a good many times, and however we'll it is presented, it could not be called new. What it has that some other books lack is real ly long perspective Goette has lived 20 years in the Orient, and a good many who have written books on the present situation have not lived their as many months. (Harcourt, Brace; $2.50)
 Out in the Boondocks" is an other collection of action stories, compact of heroism and the non chalance that seems to be nat ural to Americans when they are in really difficult spots. James D. Horan and Gerold Frank have assembled 2l stories, and nearly every piece is hair-raiser When the Marines went into Guadalcanal they were leaving behind everything but their ba- sic Americanism. and if they came out at all, they still had it. Sergeant Albert Schmid's an cestors obviously did not come over in the "Mayflower," but Sergeant Schmid wiped up 200 Japs and stopped a flanking ac- tion single-handed. (Putman; $2.75)

FIGHTING TO GET BACK HOME

Walter Lippmann, widely read news writer and commentator seems to think that the German armies are fighting to get back to Germany where they can safely surrender to the Allied forces and escape the vengeance of oppressed peoples.
 This somewhat startling but reasonable if the mili ary leaders of the Nazis convinced that they not gain any advantages by continued resistance New ertheless Prime Minister Winston Churchill in state men recently, said that Hitler commands 400 divisions
 is bit early to believe that the German soldier fear the vengeance of the people in the lands they occupy This may later but as long the Nazi command retain control of disciplined fighting the Nazi aggressions have little to fear from unarmed and un- organized people, Fairbanks News-Miner).

LITERARY CUIDEPOST

RAYMOND GRAM SWINGS softly confidential voice Is so we'll known to so many over the air that it may surprise some listeners to know that he can write as we'll as talk. But if they will read his "Preview of His tory" they will read much fa- miliar material, for it is a book made from his broadcasts, pre- ceded by an introduction dealing with postwar planning, and amplified with some unpublish- ed material as we'll. Mir. Swing has been as lucky as most in his prognostications, and as accurate as most in his analysis.
