STRO[LINC THROUGH THE RANKS
By Pvts. Frank Morley & Robert Johnson

Seems as though some "strange power" is really keeping us off sick call. Too many cokes has real ly stashed him down to nod on his mellow frame. Dawkins is slightly i'll and making life very miserable, due to his prolonged absences down Hartford way. -
 The fellow in c Company plan ming to give Sgt. Morris loaded cigar, and we all wondered which way would the bridge work go.
 Oh we'll, we have very capable landscape artist right here with us, he can fix that up-what's anoth- CT bridge to him-Pvt. George Braves I mean. George is very tall ented, in taking the worst and mak- ing it look the best. Why I can re- member last year, this same area. Then, too, after thirty days you can see, how handy these disting- uished improvements help per son who isn't used to those in and out tactics.
 Willie Wilkins, IT,, is already be- ing complimented on his good looks and that stern look in his eyes. Must be the look of determination such as his First Sergeant papa.
 This is my answer to a question. It feels great to be Father. Not to be farther away is great. That "away" situation is beside the point.
 Yes, I like the way the grass and trees grow in Windsor, also the people there. I like that!
 "Crash" it seems as if a certain Miss Kent Avenue is falling hard for a CT Bar and Ohio car. How about it Rose-"Red"?

 The Romeo of Hartford, L. San ders, is now living a quiet married life in Suffield. It's love, love, love. Nice going old man.
 A great show was put on Sum- day at the Service Canteen by Mrs. Betty Proctor and Company. The fellows enjoyed it. It is promised that we can look forward to more shows of that kind at a later date. We like that.
 Wonder why our Squadron dri- yer is making so many trips to Chester, Pa. Could it be that bad Corporal-such a long distance in so short time.
 Till next week-don't be too weak, CT gentlemen. You may be seen.

 Some of the fruit salad that adorns the upper region of his left blouse pocket includes the Purple Heart, Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal (with three clusters) and his Good Conduct Ribbon. Needless to say, he is justly proud of his Silver Wings.
 Johnnie has no definite postwar plans but he does intend to go back to Valhalla, and will, in all prob ability not start any more bus fires. The one in his flying suit probably knocked all the arson out of him.

ORDNANCE
 BLOCK BUSTER
By CPL. ERWIN L. KOERBER

Now that the U.S.O. columnist has gone in for euphony, we pre- dict a new pen name coming up. We suggest something simple like a series of numbers, such as 900. The Notre Dame backfield always had it's share of "ski's" and un- usual name combinations. We be- lieve an Irishman is calling the sig nals in the U.S.O. backfeld. As for nom de plume, Shakespeare did all right. @ ".~*. # No one has noticed, Pm sure, the flower bed on the Base Ordnance lawn in the shape of a flaming bomb. Pvt Taylor swears he plant ed the seed, but it was doubted un- til the other day when something resembling flowers started to ap- pear out of terra frna. Sgt. Hear ley took a personal interest in wedding the flower bed and now well, it looks like more flower seed will be needed as a result. A new type .buttercup bomb will probably be the result. " Strictly on the Ball:
 Sgt. Harlow has become so adept at stop checking he can find the luster in lusterless O.D. paint. S/Sgt. Steer has compiled so many rosters that he doesn't stop at names but wants to know the rank and serial numbers at 0100 in the morning The warehouse has taken this echelon maintenance so seriously that even bicycles are be- ing required to give out PMS. forms. Ordinance and Ordnance are vastly different-one gives a rule, the other carries it out. Mol 10 says, regarding the movies, "Why spend 15 cents to see The Invisible Man'-you can't see him anyhow"
 Oddities in the News:
 Some doctor claims that WACs have longer right arms than left. This condition is supposed to ex- ist from saluting. As a counter measure we recommend left-hand- ed activity, such as eating with left-handed forks. An odd casual ty of the French invasion was a paratrooper who claimed a COW sat on him. With universal fighting go- ing on, even the cows just can't graze and gaze. Fox-holes will have to be made bigger. One pilot flew an hour and a half while uncon- scious, which is warning to those not yet conscious of what the Tanks can do. Since the Germans have resorted to robot planes, at least there is no need to be wor- ried about "Kulturkampf" spring ing up.
 Now that Pfc. Parsons has re- ceived his monthly supply of West Virginia home grown hurley tobac- so, a chew has become chaw.
 One G.I., questioned about his Casanova activities, remarked, "Oh, I eat once in a while, too.
 New faces have again entered the Ordnance ranks, including ci- william and military. T/Sgt. Riley, one of the arrivals, believes wealth CT reporters have it easier here than the Aleutians. Other new faces-Cpl. Little, Cpl. Sianto, and Pvt. Fall.

POLAND REPORTED
SEEKING U. S. AID

LONDON. Nov. 9.@RAPoland' S
exiled government W reported
tcnight to have submitted indirect
" to the United States state de-
nartment certain suggestions aim
ad at establishing an accord with
Russia which would guarantee Po-
lands independence.
A reliable Polish quarter said
the governments proposals were
handed to Anthony Eden, British
foreign secretary, this week ano
probably were forwarded immedi'
ately by the British government
to the Americans.
It was learned that the Polish
government is insisting that any
settlement of the Polish question
should insure Poland's freedom.
Prime Minister Churchill has
spoken on the desirability of a
three power guarantee of an in
dependent, sovereign Poland. The
London Polish view is that such
a guarantee should cover the in
volatility of the new Polish from
tiers as well as Poland's freedom
from outside interference in her
internal affairs.

From the three men in custody
the police learned about the haunts
Of the gang and captured four
more of the deserters at Rome

The larger gang. which used U.
IS. Army weapons as part of its
equipment, was taken into custody
on information from Spanish CT
william.
|. 1t. Col. Godfrey White, deputy
provost marshal in Rome, said the
fact that many men AWOL were
stranded in Rome without funds
was responsible for the crimes. He
said that even though these two
gangs were broken up, it was prob
able that similar gangs in Rome
and other cities remained.

Officials Dismiss Reports
OF Boosts for Mexico
BY the Associated Press.

Official sources said Yesterday they
had no knowledge of an increase
in the quotas for United States
exports to Mexico.
Reports that Foreign Minister
Padilla and Primo Villa Michel, who
accompanied him to the United
States, had succeeded in getting
such an increase were received in
Mexico City Saturday by the Con-
federation of Chambers of Com
merce and Confederation of Cham
bers of Industry.
officials here pointed out that
the results of Mr.. Padilla's con-
versations with this Government
substantially were set forth in the
joint statement released by Mr.
Padilla and Secretary of State Hull
The announcement made no refer
ence to any increase in quotas
for United States exports to Mexico
In dismissing the reports of quota
increases, these officials emphasized
that the United States is going to
cooperate with Mexico and other
countries in supplying their needs
but that such cooperation must be
consistent with the war effort and
with the needs of other countries.
