SOLDIER TIDBITS:
Just heard from PFC. FRED
KANE, former Mpls. lad who is
now in Italy. Fred said he had
quite reunion the other day with
some of our local boys who are in
Italy namely: BEN PERRY, TAFT
MARTIN, ROBERT GIBSON,
JAMES CLARDY and RICHARD
SESSION. Fred says "Italy's a
killer. We can't 1--WE these chicks,
cause they don't understand US, and
we don't understand them. All we
do is study their language and so
far Pm doing fair" Just re-
ceived another very exciting letter
from CPL. VINCENT WESTBER-
RY who is up in New Guinea. Vim
cent wrote to tell the Twin Citians
that while at sea not long ago,
the ship he was on was torpedoed
and that everyone had to put out in
lifeboats and RATS and that they
were not picked up for thirty-six
hours. He said after they were
rescued, they were all treated for
shock.
JIG SAW PUZZLERS:
Has that popular Twin City wife
found out yet that the girl who
has been making those secret trips
down to see her soldier husband is
none other than her own best girl
friend. (Ain't two timing terrible?)
When is that much talked of
wedding involving two big shots
to take place? (Or is it going to
take place?) When is that
chic st. Paul lass going to find out
that the "grandpap" she is chas-
ing with wears a store "boughten"
toupe? The Twin Cities may
lose what prominent man about
town soon to the Red Cross? =.
What suspicious Twin City man
since reading about these paternity
suits in the newspapers has got a
silly notion in his head and is going
to have his three children submit
to a blood test -.
SONG OF THE WEEK:
Still popular is that sweet song,
"a LOVELY WAY TO SPEND
AN EVENING"
WEDDING OF THE WEEK:
RALPH DAVIS and ONEIDA
JONES became "Mr. and Mrs" last
Sunday in a wedding ceremony held
at Wayman A. M. E. church with

tings but We'll be around this same
time next week.
