persons affixed to sundry petitions.
HE'S A JOINER
Mr.. Bryson doesn't resemble the
typical picture of a reformer. His
voice is soft and low, and his accent
is Of the Deep South. He is a sparse
ly built man of 81, with a pleasant
smile and bright eyes that squirt
slightly through his trimmed
spectacleS when he discourses on the
evils of drink.
The Congressional Record lists
him as member of the American
Legion, Disabled War Veterans,

lively lightly so far. Worst to suffer
there have been the great private
collections Of Jewish families like
the Rothschilds and Wells.
Commander Scheffer believes
that some European paintings-not
the most famous-may now be In
America, sold by the Germans to
Swiss or Spanish dealers and
bought by private individuals. No
American museum would purchase
any of the leading objects dart be-
cause their curators would know
from whence they came and that
they must have been removed by
the Germans.
Greatest complication for the
commission will be to obtain the
many paintings which the Germans
have seized and sold to buyers in
neutral countries like Sweden.
Private and museum collections
of old gold coins, gold chalices and
other precious metal objects will be
almost impossible to recover. The
Germans, 1t is believed, will melt
them down or conceal them for 10
or IS years and then sell them.

Sgt. Boyd Van Buskirk and ami able Mary Conroy were tripping it fantastically.
 Pfc. Ira Brachmann gazed at lovely Loretta Barberi. Ira picks 'em.
 That delectable duo, Ann Matro- nj and Mary Buckley, were their usual urbane selves at this gay event.
 Glad to see home town boy, Cpl. Art Ciparelli, from Key Field, Mer- idian, Mississippi. Who was that in- teresting brunette in white that Chippy squired?
 Saw Cpl. Jimmie Fergeson up to his old stunts and making all the girls happy. And Ordnance Cpl. Nick Muntin from nearby Chicopee Falls is likely candidate for pin up boy of the week. But don't let Dottie Fisher hear you say that!
 Angie Antonacci and Sgt. "Swee- tie" Zuezker do look so nice to- gether, especially with that ex- change of soul-stirring sentiments. Nothing wrong, either, with Fran ces Markowski and Cpl. "The Head" Mccormick. Just Beauty and Brawn, that's all.
 Yes, we were glad to see so many new (and shining) faces at the good old USO. Come back again. often. Again our thanks to Director Walter A. Donlan, Assistant Di- rector Mary c. Miller and Mrs. F. G. Pomeroy, Director of the Red Cross Ladies, for the splendid work accomplished. Look for new events and get-togethers. We'll be seeing you in old familiar places.

ENGLAND.

For the moment we are quartered in a beautiful English villa with, strangely enough, fairly modern plumbing. It is quite a mansion. Doubtless in pre-war days many gallons of tea were consumed on the premises. There is garden in the rear of the house. Here, even now, many flowers grow and bloom. The lawn is in need of trimming but we are all afraid of mention ing it for fear of being assigned the job of putting the grounds in shape. As matter of fact we make it a point of skirting any discus sion pertaining to the grounds.
 The surroundings are luxurious. The casual observer, watching sol- diers entering and exiting about the place, would immediately as- sume that these soldiers are living a life of cushioned and pampered ease. Far from it. The GI lives a rigorous and exacting life in these palatial homes and hotels. He has a wooden strap-wire version of the American double bunk. Usually this bunk is too short even for a short man. It is not unusual to come into your room a little later than usual to discover that the six-footer above you, having pulled the blan- kets over his head to shut out the late daylight, has exposed two pale and enormous feet to the clements. This is due entirely to the short ness of the bunk. not to any de- fciencies in the blankets. Careful research with hunks a foot too short will show exactly what l mean. Anyway, such exposure of the pedal extremities encourages the local pranksters, who, while eschewing the hot-foot as being un- sportsmanlike, vent their puchsh-

 Girls
(Windsor Locks USO)
By PVT. CARL CARSON

WAC DAY at the USO Club was 3 WOW! Where have some of these female soldiers been keeping them selves anyway? A lot of new friendships were formed, and many old acquaintances renewed. The wonderful women from the Wind- sor Locks Red Cross Surgical Dressing Group went all out in their culinary endeavors. Calorie charts were tossed in the discard. The Bradley Bandmen engineered a headstart on the rest of the lads and were really punishing those tables. Musky's boys went to town on the old stage. Herb Resin gave them the beat, Guy Borelli mas saged the worries and Joe Fleming gave that tenor horn a real work out. .:J !
 Celebrities were in each others way and autographs were exchang- ed just that casually. Let's sec there were the editors of the BEAM, Batting It Out with Bob" Levi and Nal ("Mage Mine Lob ster'') Hernandez. Also that Snoop- er-Dooper de luxe, Erwin Koerber Gle was looking for me but l was hiding in the floral tributes).
 
 S/Sgt. Tom Conroy was certainly 'shep" out on that floor. What killer-diller! Tommy Mann, the Rec Hall renovator, as usual, sported his ubiquitous cheroot.
 We finally lured Cpl. Johnny Mollo to our lair and we find he really is nice guy, but smooth.
 Lucille Miller and Pvt. George Peterson were walking on air-just another astral couple.
 Lee St. George, cute Til de-icer from Thompsonville, didn't want for swains either.

ness by tickling the sleeper's feet, painting them with varied-color inks, and tieing strings to the big toes. Medics are apt to tie emer- gency tags to the big toes. They get a macabre amusement out of such playfullness. They enjoy partic- ularly the grisly spectacle of late arrivals recoiling from the corpse.
 One of the most pleasant things about being in England is that one gets the feeling of being in a for eign land without any sensation of strangeness. Much of England is just like Maine, or New York, or even New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
 People here are very partial to tea and tennis parties. Usually there is more tea than tennis. But that's no objection at all. Tea is ab- solutely a "sine qua non" to the graceful life here in England. You may have heard rumors to that eff feet. Tennis is just the excuse for a group of people to get together in sport clothes so that they can drink tea with more abandon and less worry about the birthday neck tie or that last pair of silk stock ings. There are even some people who come to tea and tennis parties to play tennis. They are puzzled sometimes at the way we play ten- his. We play viciously and compe- titively against the Englishman. We feel that we are vindicating the Declaration of Independence when we can beat them. However, when ever we play against the very pret- ty English girls, of which there are more than a few, we founder about the courts making intellectual dabs at the ball. This amuses the girls and puzzles the Englishman. He isn't used to letting girls win games. Strange people, these Tanks.
 We march through the streets to our dining hall. Mess gear is car ried in the left hand. Now and then a good-natured NCO gives us route step, and this causes an interesting outburst of noise. The mess gear tends to rattle. When soldiers march at attention the rat tie is subdued and rhythmical. But when you give these GIs route step, what difference! At once the gear begins to rattle loudly. There is no rhythm to it. It's just plain noise. Of course, the individual soldier pretends that there is nothing go- ing on for which he can be blamed. The expression on his face is one of genial friendliness to the civil ian observers and pained virtue to the platoon sergeant. But the noise waxes in volume until they arrive at the mess hall. Then the platoon excels at registering mass inno- in the manner of brave men who have just risked death and escaped cence. They enter the dining room unscratched. They even ask for sec onds on the chocolate cake.

Their dark plumage is compact.
The broad wings have II primaries
and from IL to Is secondaries. The
rounded or even tail has from II

head and long neck of the adults
are bare, though the Griffon has
small tuft of down. Both sexes
wear the same color and type of
plumage and are of the same size
In walking over the ground the
vulture seems to have all the time

Vultures build no nests. They have
to find broad surfaces on which to
rest: their feet are not, as you can
see, the clinging type. Sometimes a
broad stump will offer the necessary
cradle. There are never more than
three eggs.
When Matched, the young are
naked and the most ugly birds of
all. Nature soon provides them with
white or buff colored down coat
Their parents are very proud OF
them and share their care. These
babies do not hurry to grow up, re-
naming for months in their nursery
though being taught to take their
daily dozen.
Vultures cannot carry food as do
the eagles and hawks. They have
wonderful vision and locate their
food from an altitude of 1000 feet
or more,
