We are not infallible. Strange, isn't it? Pvt. Douglas McLein Der finger, Junior, our modest, blushing, journalistic violet, complained to us about using his name in our col umn last week and thereby bestow- ing upon him all that unwelcome and obnoxious publicity. However, he insists upon his name being spelled correctly, if at all. It seems that we inadvertently-he thinks, maliciously-spelled his middle name MacLein instead McLein. Girls, take note-our bachelor friend at the Base is. Pvt. Douglas McLein Deringer, Junior, of Vir- ginia.
 We recommend that a special badge be inaugurated by the War Department for those Army Wives who have been with their husbands for over a year and who have, by their loyal support, fidelity, faith fitness, and exemplary example spurred their husbands to the at tainment of the Good Conduct Medal. To head our Roll of Honor for this decoration we submit the name of Alice Peloquin, who has been for over a year in stanch and constant service as an Army Wife. Her devotedness and faithfulness are a mark that should be aimed at by all Wives. Disregarding all odds and personal hardships she has re- mained with Ray since she left their home in New York's Staten Island to follow him wherever his military duties drew him. While Ray watches over the safety of his fellow GIs at the Base, Alice safe guards the integrity of the home in Elm Plains.

 Mystery of the Week
 What could have happened to that two pounds of butter SSgt. Anderson bought and cached to take home to his mother? Some one has butterfingers, but it wasn't Anderson. The Sergeant was in a better humor after seeing Shirley of Springfield last Saturday night.
 Do you think the Army will ever have a roll call with an accepted report of Present and Camou- faged For"? Must be close to that in some parts of the jungle battle fields.
 Is it True That:
 Pfc. Siano has been saving his money to shop in the 5 and 10 store Pvt. Parsons is thinking about ordering a ring from mail order catalogue (paper dolls don't need them) :. That Cpl. Miller and vi- vacious blonde at Sub-Depot don't need stabilizer now that he IS settling down. Three privates got twelve-hour passes and never left the barracks (some new army game has been developed, no doubt) A fellow doesn't have to be an artist to paint things red. Miss Gray doesn't really go for medals after all. Cpl. McAllister and Pvt. Mitchell may go in for aerial gunnery. Sgt. Kilian had to do some fast taalking when 8 couple of his buddies, accidentally on purpose, presented his wife with a snapshot that was supposed to be view of the PIX, but some how Kilian and PIX girl were in it doing a rhumba. eos are waking K.P.'s up unannounced the morning of the day due so the shock won't be too great. Many Sergeants are suffering from bald ness. Mendenhall is not sure he likes the expression, "Get away from me closer" or was it "get closer away from me-"
 An old Indian might say, Heap big doings with Buster boys-much new men-big noise at Wednesday mite bowling-him called Vargo- mid-nite oil burn long with new night shift-much stir over schools starting in ammunition area-big gun man Marsh teachum fast pop ping cannon-full moon bring new khaki to Section C-me hear soft ball team start soon-me go now, squaw need kindling wood me get tum in-big deal last Friday from soldier lumberjacks-me build big fire make much smoke, send smoke signal bigger than Buster bomb join Allies start drillum papOose."
 
 A howdy goes to Sgt. Bill Supp who is back after bit of shuffiing up and down the main.
 Major Poudre did his bit in last Wednesday nite's bowling, helping to stack pins in preliminary prac- tice. Katz again proved to his feminine influence his last score was no fuke.

"A Guy W1Cn WOTdIe When he's out of gas, And hasn't pass, Not even a stripe of his own; No letter received From the one he believed Was true to him at home. He wears a mask, When given a task, He has to do all alone With no paper doll. He still can smile When someone asks for a loan.
