stand and proceeded to rock the Club. Our new sax tooter was ac- claimed by all. It is really remark able how a bus loaded with lovely ladies and a few men with music al instruments can make a ernov- ated barracks come to life and reel and rock with good fun.
 Sunday, as promised by the Canteen Committee, the Box Lunch con Auction was held. We wish to thank the Committee for giving us a real swell evening. We are sure that the hostesses found that none of us were light spenders. Money is no object to us. Take look at some of the bidding. Sgt Morris opened the very first bid for one hundred and ten dollars and Pvt. Costes went up to one-hundred and thirteen dollars so you can see that We are good spenders. P. S. The money wasn't real.
 At last that train from Chicago has arrived and it did bring Miss P.'home. Pvt. Brazier is once again the smiling c. I. who takes us on the pool table every time. Gosh, the change in that guy.
 Question of the week. How is it that Sgt. Morris, Pvt. Coats, Pvt. Perry and some others were able to bid over hundred dollars at the luncheon when they were only issued one hundred dollars ? Don't tell us that they have a way of making fake money. We would mt say that it isn't so, for any where Moderator goes anything might happen, and it usually does.
 Pvt. Craig, you shouldn't have out-bid Pvt. Brazier. By the way, how are you doing these days? What do you hear from the Windy city?
 Whats this that we hear about Pvt. R. Dorsey and the Chaplain? 7? That's right Dorsey, you can al- ways depend on the Chaplain to help you.
 We have a feeling that wedding bells may ring out sometime for Pvt. G. Graves in the not too far future How about it, Bub?
 Jean, the little singer, seemed to have Pvt. Perry and Pvt. Price pumping into one another the oth- CT night. Don't worry fellows, she's just learning to sing few songs.
 That week that Pvt. 'Playboy' Garrison stayed in must have been used to find ways and means to elude us. So far he has succeeded, for we can't get a thing on him. We'll tag you sooner or later.
 Say fellows, don't let Ruth and Mildred get lonesome now that their G. I. friends have departed.
 We see that the new fellows are on the ball. We find them in the telephone line just as often as we are and they are not calling home.
 Cpl. A. McNeal is on the we'll known ball down Windsor way. Nice going Mac.
 Pvt. L Sanders found that S/- Sgt. Watson has bouncers as we'll as KP's in his Mess Hall.
 Whats this we hear about Miss Reds going to Westover last Sun day? When the cats away the mice will play, so they say.
 Lena Horne should be glad to meet Pfc. Cliff Thompson as he IS one of her greatest fans and we bet he has more pictures of her than anyone around these parts. Nice work eh, Bub?
 Say Pvt. Bob Johnson, you should see Pvt. L. Sanders and get that picture out of his locker. It really belongs in your locker.
 It has been suggested that we get up a little G. I. show. We think that the idea is on the good side. What do you say about 1t If you are interested see SSgt. Wright.
 Sometime in October there will be a Popularity Contest. So all you guys and gals keep your eye
