Units
Serve Men in

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - UP
"Way down under" in the South
Pacific, Quartermaster Corps
fixed and mobile laundries,
serving scattered islands in an
ocean area twice the size of the
United States, are handling
more than 100000 items
month, the Kansas City Quar-
termaster Deport reported re-
Gently.
The items handled by these
laundries include hospital lin
ems, clothing for both officers
and enlisted men of the Allied
forces on sea and land, and or
ganizational equipment. The to-
tai pieces Numbered by both
types of units during the period
from July, 1943, through March,
1914, numbered more than 49,
100000 articles.
Men operating many of these
laundry units wear theater bat
tie stars. The first units to ar
rive were of the mobile type and
were put ashore with the assault
troops in out-of-the-way places
and operated in the combat
areas. AS the forces moved west
ward, the units were trans
shipped and new operating bas-
es had to be hacked out of the
jungle.
Maintenance posed another
difficult problem. Replacement
supplies and spare parts were
difficult to obtain at such places
as Guadalcanal, Espiritu Santo
or Kolumbangara. Shipments
sent by ship and plane had to
be sandwiched in between pri-
critics.
In July, 1913, the first of the
fixed, post-type laundries began
operation in the theater and by
October six had been establish
ed, officials at the Depot re-
ported. At the end of nine
months of operation, output of
the six fixed laundries had in
creased from about 100000 to
100000 items monthly.
During the same period, from
July, l943, through March, 1914,
production Of the mobile units
rose from $4,000 to more than
1,735,000 pieces monthly.

VEDDY UNORTHODOX, WHAT?
Brooklyn Banter Battles British

Not very original, but effec-
tive, because the CT struck out.
Then the c a n a d ans cried,
Come on over here"
The Yank walked on over
and the Canadians jumped up
and pumped his hand. You're
not mad at us, are your" they
asked.
Nav. I'm not mad" the
American replied.
Then the Canadian team came
up 10 bat and the naval officers
began sticking their verbal
barbs in the American pitcher.
The heckling became more vio-
lent and vehement.
Finally the pitcher shouted,
"Y'got any gum, chum?"
This surprised the Canadians,
who replied that they hadn't
any. The pitcher walked over
and gave each of them a stick
of gum.
20. X, now" he said, you've
got something to keep your
mouth filled, so keep it shut"
The English watched this BY
play in amazement. They could
Mt believe it was just part of
the game.
Don't they ever get mad at
each other?" one little old Eng
lish woman, addressing the
world, asked in Wonderment.
