adaptations, and the jeep would no longer be
the jeep She would lose her character and
her reputation.
Other lesser known members of the jeep
family will also be heard from after the war.
One of them is the seep or quack. an amphibi-
Gus jeep. She is a small sister of the
two-and-a-half-ton duck, which has
landed SO many of our forces. In
North Africa, took turn in seep one
day. We drove through Algiers down to
waterfront highway. Reaching stretch of
beach, we whipped through the sand and
headed straight for the surf. Once afoat. we
shifted from wheels to propeller and made
complete tour of the harbor, after which we
crawled out on land and drove home.
Happy Days Ahead!

The jeep has sat for her portrait in oils
and has been cartoOned. She has starred in
the movies, made stage appearances figured
constantly in dispatches from the front and
worked for War Bond drives. She has been

of jeeps is entirely forbidden as frivolous by
other commanding officers who either have
forgotten their youth or were Tilted frequently
during it.
Drivers Mourn Their Loss
A BOND grows between a soldier and the
jeep he drives, oils and cherishes Stories are
told of drivers who, when their jeep was
wrecked by shellire, have mourned as cav
alrymen once did for favorite steed shot
under them Whether it's due to the fact that
the jeep is best girls namesake or to
mechanics pride in good machine he has
cared for long and well, that attachment is
triumph of individuality over mass produc-
ton. Previously that feat had been accom-
piished only by the Dionne quints.
The jeep has before her a postwar future
in which millions of civilians and all dernobi-
lized soldiers will be interested. The Depart
ment of Agriculture has been experimenting
with the jeep for farm work for two years,
while the OPA is giving thought to postwar
price and distribution. Other government

uses as rural mail delivery, food con-
troll, prospecting, transportation for doc
tors, visiting nurses, and circuit-riding
preachers. Hunting and fishing trips - and
old-fashioned sight seeing jaunts - also have
been suggested. When you have car with
eight speeds and four-wheel drive that can
carry full load up 65' grade, turn in
circle 30 feet in diameter, tilt sideways to 550
angle without overturning, and make at least
l6 miles to the gallon, you can go places and
see things.

But the greatest tribute is the custom of
soldier drivers to name their jeeps for their
best girls and proudly paint their names under
the windshield Sometimes the names are
changed, but love is like that observed a
number of jeeps in North Africa named
Anne Marie, " and "Yvonne," and Celeste"
