The Apache sentinel., 1944-01-21

to a bunch of mighty fine fellows
the men of the 92nd . It's funny
how the old-timerS out here couldn't
stand them when they first arrived
here way bac kin May :. And now,
they're going to be MISSED while
they maneuver down in the Louisi-
ana swamps. -. To them we're say
ing au revoir, Divisioners, and happy
landings, wherever you land!
Unit "Sweethearts" whose names
and photos are run in the Apache
Sentinel make good "copy" ;. Wit
ness the fact that there's hardly an
issue of the paper left on weeks
when a lovely lady graces page one.
- Last week our use of attractive
Jerry" Nicholas, Cpl Fayard Mich
olas' nissus got us involved in bit
of controversy, though. . The
fellows in the Special Service Divi-
sions entertainment group (bapd,
dancers, singers, ct al.) selected Mrs.
Nicholas as their favorite pin-up,
but the Special Service boys are still
members of Headquarters Detach-

called our sweetheart?" demanded
one of the men from Headquarters.
Our name is "Wess" = and we're
strictly out of that mess. -.
However, while we're still on the
subject of "sweethearts" It

planation is made for the 406th Ord
nance the men down there will sure
ly becoI1le fit Subjects for strait
Jackets. So-if1 case someone
hasn't already told you, pretty Miss
Marie Pinnfx, fiancee of TT4th Irv-
ing Bass, is also the sweetheart Of
the 406th Ordnance Combpany. :.
The Officers Lakeside Club has
plenty of desert flora, but it's biggest
headache is its fauna problems.
Big fish eat up the little fish in the
lake during the summer. And
now there's valuable game duck
missing. It seems that stray
dog met up with the bird. /. Quips
whimsical member of the Special
Service Division staff: who de-
ducts de ducks?"
