Supply WRs Challenge
Girls Teams to Join
In Rugged Ball Games

WRs assigned to the Supply De-
partment have organized what is
known as the "Sluggers From Sup
ply a softball team of IL ath-
letically inclined WRs who are
eager to challenge IL other WRs
from some other department to a
good game of softball SOON! And
soon means as quick as some other
department gets up team to match
"The Sluggers." according to Corp.
Eleanor Gaskill.
These girls have been getting in
some good practice. For instance.
on July 80 in Jacumba on the Sup
ply Department picnic, they tried
their skill. Besides playing soft
ball. they participated in mountain
climbing. roller skating, swimming.
horseback riding, eating (of course)
and most of them brought home a
mild (?) case of sunburn as souve-
nier Of day spent in the coed old
care-free way.
How about some action on this
softball question from other de-
partments?

Good Shepherd Is
Heroic Tale Of An
Icelandic cShepf1erd

THE GOOD SHTF--ERD Gun
mar Gunnarsson. A simple, beauti-
full gripping and moving tale Of an
Icelandic shepherd, making his
twenty-seventh annual journey into
the bleak and stormy wastes Of the
mountains to rescue the sheep that
have been missed in the yearly
ingatherihg. With his two COM
rades, Leo, the dog, and Gnarly,
the wether, he performs feats of
endurance, patience and persistence
that are nobly heroic. Yet he does
it all without heroism-just as a
matter of-courSe duty to the dumb
animals and to his neighbors.
Like this peasant hero, the reader
feels a kinship with the mighty,
white landscape, the sWirling SHOWS
under the brief sun and the icy
moon, the raging hurricanes that
pile the snow into strange noun
tains, and the clouds that make
a farther range on the horizon. He
knows the tender bond, half hu-
morous, half dependent, which ex-
lists between Benedikt and his ami
mails, the steady responsibility the
man feels, not only for his own
animals but for others. He labors
with the shepherd over the long
wastes, blinded with snow, and
knows, with him, the exhausted de-
sire to stop in the wallow under
the snow, sheltered briefly from
the hurricane, and sleep forever.
He spurs himself, like Benedict, to
fight to the last, and comes out of
the ordeal to the peace and safety
of the village-until the next year
shall bring the duty back
The character of the simple hero
is magnificent - rejoicing in what
he has, serene in his faith, accept
ing the responsibilities that come
to him even when they are haz-
ardous impositions, providing first
for the well-being Of his helpless
companions, facing danger and
denying it entrance to his mind,
undiScOuraged, assured and calm.

Dilbert's Day

He slipped in the groove
With the greatest of class:
Glanced at his airspeed,
Gave his throttle a blast.
He then cut his gun
With a professional touch:
Eased over his nose,
But little tco much:
For he hit on his wheels
And bounced high in the air
The guys in the tower
Were tearing their hair.
When at last with this bounce drill
the Dilbert did cease
The Base Personnel breathed
A sigh of relief,
They thought he had landed,
That the dope was secure.
But other ideas had he
To be sure.
With his hand on the throttle
His feet on the brakes,
The kid got a notion
He had mustered the crate.
Sc he sat back in his seat.
For a long winters snooze,
And what happened next
Would hardly be news
So I'll knock this off
And confess without doubt,
That I'm the sad sack
This poem is about.

What with all the grass skirts
being sent back by our fighters
in the South Seas, Martha Gray,
at Cypress Gardens, Fla, de-
cided to show the boys how she
looks dressed in Florida pine
needles and cones.
