Things Of Note
at the
37th Spec. Service Co.
BY TVS JAMES MORGAN

man for three days, not so long ago.
The occasion was the visit to Hua-
chuca of Mrs. Baker, the corporalS
wife, from their home in Cincinnati,
Ohio. Prior to induction, Cpl. Baker
was popular band leader in Gin
cinnati, and was president of the
Musicians Union there for some
time. He is now doing brilliant work
for us in the company orchestra,
holding down the tenor sax spot ON
all engagements. Quite jump from
band leader to PIX store manager,
huh?
Another recent visitor to Fort
Huachua was Mrs. William o. Smith,
wife of one of our musical sergeant
1 technicianS. Mrs. Smith came from
her home in Philadelphia, Pa, and
seems to be having pleasant stay.
She is a talented pianist, and has
| entertained us with her clever work.
/ Sgt. Smith is still on the sick list,
sorry to say, recuperating from re-
cent operation He still does an oc-
casional chore for us on the bass
fiddle, just so we won't forget he's
around Get well soon, Smitty.
FurlOugh News:
Pvt Willie Grier returned re-
Gently from an emergency furlough
in Philadelphia, to announce that
his ailing grandmother is now on
the road to recovery. We all enjoy
this good news, and Grier'S buddies
in the motor pool are especially glad
to have him back. Smooth rolling,
Willie!
Training Notes:
Last weeks Sentinel announced
stepped-up training program for
SOU 1922. Is it. more coincidence, or
has someone noticed us on our now
regular Friday afternoon trekS, and
decided to show us how it should be
done? Don't try it,. SOU; we are
veteran fifteen milers now! Say,
how much do they ask for that new
! foot balm in the PIX? .,,.e.,bs
f. A new and really vigorous game
known as American Ball, has been
introduced into the company and
! is being used as a toughening up
course for the men The game is
played with a huge six-foot-h high
ball, and is a combination of foot
ball, soccer, rugby lacrosse and
mayhem. There are no holds barred,
and anything goes-usually it's the
men who go, STRAIGHT to sick call.
Come on down and try it sometime,
won't you?
1t. Watson, the Engineers con-
tribution to the 37th, has been busy
the past few weeks supervising the
construction of a gas-proof shelter
! in the area across the railroad
tracks from us. The shelter, when
completed, will be put to the test
by the men, and will be left as a
permanent fixture 1--WE prepare the
way"
/ Entertainment:
The good news has reached us
| that the 37th will again take an
active part in promoting sales for
| the new war loan drive The thea
/ trical technieianS, Cpls Webster,
Hooks, johnson and Robinson, are
busy whipping new ideas into shape
| for a show that is expected to hit
/ the mark and have the dough pour
/ ing in. We remember with pride the
part we played in making the third
war loan drive a success, and hope
to do repeat performance this
time Watch this column for results.
/ Welcome:
We welcome to the company new
conner Pvt Avon Seth. Seth is a
/ personable young man from Wash
/ ingten, D. c., and was transferred
to us from the 733 Mp. battalion.
In him we find an answer to Our
drummer problem; he is expected to
beat the skins for our company or
chestra. Guess that leaves Sgt. Yer
non Isaac without job IN the band,
I huh?
The welcome mat was laid out,
1 too, for TI5 Phil Brown and SISgt.
Arthur D. Gillard. Sgt Gillard re-
turns after a prolonged stay in the
hospital, and Cpl Brown is now
fully recovered from a stomach all
ment Er don't eat so much
mashed potatoes, Phil!
