In fact, the entire detachment is
just about in a state of financial
embarrassment. Perhaps that is the
reason for the laxity of their social
status. Strange as it may seem,
though, one particular Tech Ser
geant seems to find two show fares
about twice a week here lately.
Must be pretty good pictures at
Theater No. 4, or is it just the
atmosphere?
Can it be, that Sgt. Joe King is
love sick? Since his return from his
furlough, he has been new man.
Unfortunately he got his people
mixed the other night in the bar
racks. Every one doesn't play, so
he found out. Should have seen
him tuck his tail and find neutral
corner.
We're losing one of our mascots
this week, namely, Fluffy" He and
his owner, Sgt. Painter, are going
on furlough. 1t is a one-way trip
for Fluffy" though. How about
you, Sgt. Painter? The other one,
Tiny" the Great Dane, is now un-
der restriction for having gone
AWOL last Monday. He stayed lover
the hill' for three days and barely
escaped a court martial.
A group to be commended is the
Special Service and orientation
group. Under the careful guidance
OF Mr.. Pitts they are indeed doing
a fine job. We of the detachment
have the distinction of being one
OF the only units on the post that
has the Training Films shown right
IN the barracks at our convenience.
Thanks to Sgt. Freeman and SGT.
Painter, many dull evening has
turned out to be entertaining.
Have you heard about the SER
geant who couldn't make up his
mind? Well, he waited too late and
someone made it up for hian. Per-
sonallyy 4 believe in the. sayingy
Better ftlate than never but in7
this case, it may not work! eTrv0.it
just for curiosity ,qffs nothing else.

Open Letter to The Trooper. Take
it easy On the 355Oth, chum. You
got me in an awful jam last week.
1t seems as though certain people
over that way don't like their bust
ness publicised and 1 have been
falsely accused of sabotage.
For those of you who have been
filling in for the Buffaloes, you can
resume your regular duties now.
They are back and have the situa-
ton well in hand. Of course, we all
can't be fortunate enough to be
keeping company with one of the
new girls who hasn't yet needed
the Call of the Wild" Take tip
from Cpl. Trice, get yourself a stu
dent and put out an "Off Limits"
sign.
In the spotlight this week: I'd like
to bring to your attention the man
who doesn't write letters (and never
gets any, Cpl. Hayden j. Smith
When questioned, "Smitty" simply
retorted, Letters don't build my
they tear it down, so I'd
rather not get any" Can you beat
that? Must be an inside story to-
that, and 1 intend to get it.
A warning to Tech Sgt Reeves of
the 3551st. hear they are going
to employ huskier MPs in the area
to put stop to just such scenes
as the one you presented down there
last week.
The Mystery Man of the detach-
ment is Sgt. Sandy Walker. Is he
a playboy, as was reported, or what?
No one seems to be able. to catch
him at his "doity woik," but some
thing is going on.
My deepest sympathieS to the
men of the 3550th who are On BIZ
vouac this week. But to those of
You who think you pulled some
thing slick, saw you when you'I
thought wasn't looking. No, I'm
not rat, but it would be interest
ing to certain people to know where
you were, Sgt "R."
You may as we'll straighten up
and fly right, ."Cisco." Because the
wheel just won't run off, as you
had hoped. If you want the secret
to the trick, see Sgt. Lordnum.
Strange as it may seem, the
yogi" has quieted down to a whis-
per since his furlough Has he, too,
turned over a new leaf? Nap
