Soap Carving Plan
Annual Playground
Feature Abandoned

Wartime scarcity of soap,
and its value in the field of
home necessities, has brought
about abandonment of the an
nual Fairgrounds soap-carving
contest sponsored by the De-
partment of Recreation, it was
announced today by Director
Bernard Ballantine.
Although there is no shortage
of soap, its manufacture, ship
ment and display involve con-
siderable effort and manpower
all Of which would be wasted
in shredding and carving, Bal
lantine points out.
Accordingly, the excellently
carved animals and other fig
ures in various colored soaps
which formed an artistic display
on the Fairgrounds in other
years, will not be offered this
year.
However, other similar activ-
tiles, including full program
Of handcraft, are being designed
to fill the gap created by drop
ping the soap-carving activity.
The city Fairgrounds champ
ionships in jackstones and jack
knife contests will be played off
at Grant School Wednesday at
10 a. m.
Fairgrounds supervisors will
collect and record war stamp
sales for children Monday, and
the stamps will be delivered on
that day.
Handcraft sessions will be
held at Wilson School, Monday;
Wednesday morning, Grant and
Griffith; Wednesday afternoon
Donaldson; Thursday, Dickinson
and Friday, Lincoln.
Events now being arranged
for the next few weeks include

4O6th Ordnance on Moneuvers

One peaceful morning about IL
o'clock, my company was ordered to
be on the alert because the Blues
Army was closing in. (We are mem
bers of the Red Army; same one
Russia belongs to.)
Things began to happen fast: The
guards were posted double and anti
tank guns were quickly placed west
of our area on both sides of the road
where the enemy was reported ad-
vancing.
I was almost run over by Cpl.
Johnny Cotton of Brookhaven, Miss,
when his vehicle swiftly passed me
pulling an nti-tank gun.
When the alert message was re-
ceived. I was standing by two of
the guards who were on duty, PvtS.
William Clardy of Louisville, KY,
and Cpl. Samuel Jackson of Balti-
more, Md.
Pvt. Clardy, when he received the
message, became very happy and
softly patted his rifle because at last
there was to be some action.
Cpl jackson just smiled then
pulled tightly on the strap of his
rifle and said nothing.
Sgt. Clarenza LevingstOn, of Wax
ahachie, Tex, sergeant of the
guards, went from one guard to an
other giving last minute informa-
ton. He was very interested in
getting another crack at the Blue
Army because they had captured
him few days before.
I had a position on small hill
behind a group of little pine bushes
and was able to observe all that
happened around me. However, my
rifle was at my side and ready in
case things got too hot with my
buddies up front. From this position
I recognized PvtS. Ruben Clark Of
Vicksburg, Miss, James Vaughn of
Woodville, Miss, and Robert Lane
behind the anti-tank gun eagerly
awaiting for crack at their enemy.
When the problem was called off a
few minutes later. every one was
greatly disappointed-especially Cpl.
Theodore Blair of Amhurst, Va.
Our company was the guest Of the
792nd Ordnane LIN Co., 92nd Inf.
Div, at theater party held in their
area recently. This was a grand
treat and one that boosted our NOR
ale to a new high.
The picture was shown on screen
which was attached to the side of a
GI truck. The men paid no atten
ton to the few drops of rain that
fell as they watched the movie. We

ton successfully completed the COR
reSpondence course in five months.
1t is the sincere desire of the inSti-
tute to assist army personnel in
every possible way to increase ones
educational background for greater
efficiency as a service man, to pre-
pare ones return to a civilian occu-
patton after the war, or to help one
complete requirements toward the
fulfillment of educational plans. Too
often we overlook or put aside the
advantages that are ever so present
about us. Ashton says that it did
not take a great deal of his time and
at the same time provided some in
teresting achievement. This is the
second certificate Ashton has re-
ceived; one in auto mechanics. He
is now working on third certificate

D Supply 8 Service
Det., Sou 1922

Last Saturday evening the Supply
and Service Det., Sou. 1922, held a
dance with large attendance of
WACs and many civilian friends.
The Detachment Commander COM
plimented the first sergeant and
dance committee on their excellent
arrangement of the dance.
The Post orchestra blew out some
swell jive with Babe" Wallace at
the vocals. There was another num-
ber given by an unknown voice that
was really in the groove. Refresh
mentS were served all through the
dance. Everyone enjoyed himself
and the dance committee promises
that there are more to come for the
advantage of the members of the
Supply and Service detachment and
WAC Section.
There was some Utter -bugging
that was on the ball and it was real
ly groovey. The Detachment Com

335th Sto. Hosp.

Spring must really be here. The
other day the sergeant asked boy
to do little policing up around the
barrack, and the result-eXtra duty
for not policing Now I noticed in
the past that this boy has been
very energetic, so I imagine spring
fever must have hit him at this
particular time,
Just to make sure the entire com
pany does not acquire spring fever
they went on hike Wednesday,
From all indications since then
however, I don't think there will be
any more fever after the strenuous
training we are going through plus
hikes. BY the way, who was the
WAC who said to one of the boys
that she wanted to go on out next
hike? Well, let me warn you now
that the next one will be only
fifteen miles-so if such appeals to
you, just come right along We will
be glad to have you.
Perhaps you remember my stat
ing a few weeks ago that there
would be an invasion of the WAC
area by members of the 335th.
Whether this was a prediction or
not, it seems to have been carried
out in such a way that several of
the boys have been going over there
pretty regular now Every time
someone asks another where he
has been, he replies, ooh, I have
been over to the WAC area to see
a certain young lady," Some of them
must have it bad, for saw them
going over there one night when it
was raining down cats and dogs,
and they were all dressed in their
Sunday : go to meeting GI's. Ro-
nance must be wonderful, if
weather like that cannot stop them.
What about it, Cpls. Frank Ellis,
Warren Christian, T/5 Dudley Mou-
ton, Pvt. Willie Moore, and a few
others?
FLASH! The most outstanding
soldier of the unit for the past week!
Cpl. Archie Wyatt, Jr., very ver-
satile soldier and yet is one of the
hardest cats that ever trod the soil
of Fort Huachuca, Arizona. His job
now is working in Laboratory No. l,
and he is on the ball by the way he
gets around and does his work. After
being in the army a year and also
finishing an Army Technician
School during this time, I can see
why he is capable of doing such
work. Just keep it up, Archie, and
you will soon hit the top, I'm sure
He halls from Buffalo, New York.
While the wires are hot, perhaps
you have not heard the latest about
certain little boy in our unit whose
name is Pvt. Adds o. 2. Smith,
and is one of the truck drivers. He
stated the other day that if they
didn't take to making the trucks a
little smaller so that he could reach
the pedals he would have to resign
the job of being driver. Tch! Tch!
We will have to see what we can do
about that, Pvt. Smith, so don't
give up hope. I'll be seeing you next
with more flashes without the
crashes.

sure that when it does come off we
will outdo the rest of the battalion

Who is the mysterious WAC that
has had Pvt. Lorenzo E. Wilkes on
the go ever since he has been here?
Why the poor boy has lost twenty
five pounds, worn out three pairs
of shoes, and developed an acute
case of bunions, hiking back and
forth to the WAC area.
Our vote for the most outstanding
liar of the week goes to Pvt. Henry

they are running, and that he can
strike a match from a distance of
