USO Troop Show
No. "o8" One
Day Run at Fort
by A Staff Writer

One of the best USO troop shows
to ever enter Huachuca's gates was
Troop "98" which played here Mon
day afternoon and night, making
a hit that will long be remembered
by those who saw it. A show was
put on for the Red Cross, Station
Hospital No. l, Monday evening,
and for Post Headquarters Detach-
ment and Service Club No. /, Mon
day night,
Opens With Post Orchestra
The show opened with TVS Aus
tin McCoy's Orchestra playing sew
eral hot tunes, getting the crowd in
the mood for the rest of the enter
tainment. TVS Maceo Anderson in
troduced Master of Ceremonies Ru-
bin Brown who knocked the G. Is
out with his humorous and new
jokes. He came back in the middle
of the program doing a tap dance
acrobatic stunt which was wild.
Petit Honey" johnson came out
singing, Mary Had Little Lamb"
and ended up tap dancing with an
encore. Annie Mae Lundy, pianist,
played "Boogie Woogie" for the
boys and after being applauded she
sang, Hurry Back Baby"
Clara Williams (Tina) 265 pounds
of real joy, had to go back and
come again after singing "Hit That
1--WE Jack" She returned with
"Straighten Up and Fly Right" and
big Fat Mama" She could boogie
like June Richmond, only she had
a few more pounds to offer.
He Was On
The most startling performance
the G. Is. had seen in ages followed.
Joe Frazier, in the Mystery Man,
danced with a kerosene lamp on
his head Ca tap dance rendition)
after which he added one more
lamp that he clamped between
his teeth and later added one to
each hand He would lie on his
back and then do split; stand and
go into his dance again.
When this part of his perform
ance was over, he came out saying
that he was an old timer in the
show business and he'd soon be SO.
But little did they know that this
was part of the Mystery Mans
act. He told the spectators that if
he were in the army and wanted a
discharge he could easily get one,
for he could make himself look
paralyzed. At this moment, he
threw his arms in position which
the human eye was forced to wit
ness as being paralysis. The dis
figurement was terrible.
With the other arm, he made his
muscle rise SO high that it quivered
like a giant. He asked for two men
from the audience who tied him up;
legs and arms. A black cover was
put over him and removed. His
arms were united. The cover was
put back over him and removed
again, and his arms were tied just
as the man had tied them. He asked

for another G.. I. This soldier put
his hand under the cloth and it
was raised, and to the aStonishment
of the crowd this G.. rs. hand was
tied with one of the performers,
and one of the performers hands
was out in the open. He could turn
cigarette ashes into money right be-
fore your eyes, in the palm of your
own hand. He called himself the
devil and all through his mystery
performance he yelled, Munger!
Munger!
The entire show came on for the
finale, and the ladies of the show
had changed to lovlier costume.

WACs from Fort Huachuca
during their almost two years
stay here.
Led in parade by the Post
Band and two piatoons of the re-
manning group, headed by End 1t.

the Armed Forces exclusively.
Miss La Tosca. one of
the worlds greatest and the
only feminine performer who
is able to perform on the Hindu
Strand or Bounding Rope, is one
of the top sellers of the show
Stars and More stars
The show offers trained animal
acts, turnplers ano rlyirg crapeze
men and women to provide thrills
and laughter, aerialists and clowns
You will see altogether 20 or more
stars.
Mickey King is another favor1te
among the GIs who have seen the
show. She has oomph, slick on the
eyes, and neat tricks in the ring.
We all remember Ernie Wiswel,
former number one funny man of
the Ringing Brothers and Barnum
& Bailey circus. He's clown right
in the Star Spangled circus.
Two and a Half Hours Worth
The center of attraction during
the two and one-half-hour show
will present such acts as the Tor
ellis Ponies and Dogs which have
stunned audiences who looked on
as the educated animals did every
thing but talk; the Carvett Bar Act,
an act which combines skill with
humor and little slapstick; Helen
Seigist, who swings through the air
using only her feet to land on the
bar; pretty Ullaine Malloy performs
daring routine on the rings; the
F'ullmore Juggling act and the
Swifts' Skating act, during which
Mr.. Swift will take member Of the
audience for a hair-raising ride on
skates.
The Worlds Topper
The last of the show will open to
the antics of Maximo, slack wire
artist, who will portray a drunk;
Mickey Bing, who will do his act
high above the field house floor,
and an act by four Liberty Horses
in a, fine display of training.
Highlights of the show will be an
act which was paid $2500 at Radio
City. We don't exactly feel justified
in calling any particular act the
highlight of the show, for each act
is a solid sender.

"I do hereby invite all the people of

1T is wire to be careful about
food in warm weather" Dr. Miriam
Hubbell, Imperial county health Of
ficer, said MonCay in warning
issued residents of the county.
There are two kinds of food
poisoning: food infection, and botu-
lism," DR.. Hubbell went on to ex-
plain.
Food infection is milder illness
than botuliSm. It is characterized
nausea, vomi ing, abdominal
cramps, diarrhe-, and fever 1t Is
caused by food that has been I'm
gered by dirty hands, inadequately
cooked, or imperfectly preserved,
The chief offenders are meat, mix,
and mixtures containing these
foods. Inadequate refrigeration o.
these foods is a common cause OF
food infection. Incubation period
varies from four to IL hours after
the food is eaten. The attack Is
usually sudden and may come on
with a headache and chill or alb
dominal pain may b. the first COM
plant. The inefectivity rate is usual
" high Sometimes less than nan
suffer to q greater or less degree
Most cases occur in the summer
months. For instance, MaSSachu-
sets prohibits by law cream lining
for pies. puffs and cellars during
the summer months.
HARD TO DETECT
The contaminated 1000 Is
usually not noticeably altered IN
taste, appearance. or smell. Ike
member. the more that 1000 Is
handled and the longer 1t lies
around of the ice, the greater the
danger of food infection.
"Botulism is caused by SPECIFIC
toxin. the bacillue botulinus. The
spores of this germ can be de-
stroyed by high @mperatures. Inc
airleSs inside of a sealed can OF
glass Jar provides the ideal condl-
tion for the growth of this germ.
Botulism is caused by Improperly
canned food which are non-acid'
such as all vegetables exc PIT 10
matoes and rhubarb, meats, 1lsh
poultry. and Animal products. I'm

doesn't get a ration stamp to re-

shoes for which he could collect a

this number of shoes divided up
over the whole country won't make
a dazzling display. You'll find them
