Moonlight Evenings
Fort Huachuca's nights have been
quite lovely for picnics, and the 371st
GIs took advantage last week. They
had the ladies stepping out early and
dining later. Those former ASTP SOL
diers, who studied at Howard. had a
ball at the USO several brites ago.
You should have heard them when
they returned to the post f. singing
loud and with harmony 80. reminding
us of the good old days especially
PAULINE HARRIS who's sort of on
the depressed side since her handsome
CT left.
Lovely Trip
l saw the petite and attractive
EDNA (Mrs.) SCOTT, cashier behind
the tobacco counter at PX No l, sew
eral days ago. jamie was looking swell,
and she said her trip to California
was grand. While there she visited in
the cities of Los Angeles, Pasadena
and Monterrey with relatives and
friends. She spent three weeks va
cation.
Remembering Friends
Sgt Bishop L. Dobey. efficient
printer and head man down at the
Post Printing Shop, remembers to send
his old friends of the 25th Infantry
the Apache Sentinel each week. I'll
congratulate the Sergeant on this
score, for we, in this office, receive
many letters from the fellows over
there asking for papers and news of
Huachuca.
"Spottine The MPs"
'Look out Hughes, don't try to
scoop Cpl. a. Griffith" I'm not try
ing to scoop the Corporal reporter,
I'm trying to hip him. 1 happened by
the Chicken Inn the other night, and
the first thing 1 saw seemed to be
chow hounds judging by the huge
steaks and French frieds they had
piled on their plates. They were
T/Sgt Charles Battle and Sgt. Ulysses
Tomlin filling up those vacancies.
Could that sharp twosome of MPs have
heen making eyes at the waitresses?i
From AcrossCThe Country
l received letter from the well
known JESS DUNSON of Philadelphia
on Labor Day. Jess has been men
toned in this paper several times
in fact, he's one of our regular cor
respondents and a personal friend to
T/4 Anna Russell and Mrs Thelma
X. T. Gorham, Technical Advisor, who
is confined to the ASF Regional Hos
pital, Section No. l.
Here are excerpts from his letter: Il
read your confession that you are in
the hospital. (Unquote =. 1 was them.
l must admit that l always read PS,
and although l am not on the Post it
gives me a kick just the same. In fact,
The Sentinel intrigues me from cover
to cover. 1t is only through The Sent
incl that those of us, many miles away
and not connected with the war effort
learn about Huachuca and what it is
doing for Negro fighting men and
women. [ always look for my Sentinel
with as much expectancy as a young
father pacing in front of a maternity
ward.
"As you write, it seems that Hua-
chuca hospital is a sort of Seventh
Heaven and a source of relief from
the relentless grind of army life in
a great cantonment. 1t seems that you
have a magic wand in your hand and
with assistants to scratch your back
at your bidding; what could be sweet
er? l suppose Willie is a must with
you.''
Mr.. Dunson writes quite interesting
letters. 1 have read many of his let
ters that have come to this office,
though they weren't directed to me. 1
wish you could enjoy all of this one
with me, but space will not permit
that In comment upon what Mr.. Dun
son has said: he makes things sound
much better than l do, and so far as
willie, he is a must with all of the
ladies on ward "20.'
