want to autograph me, preferably
in the optical organ. Wonder why?
A number of gentlemen have ask
ed me for certain amount of pub
licity like putting their name in the
paper so that the folks back home
can read it. But then when l do
they yell that they don't want the
folks to read that kind of stuff.
Well, ask you, what else can a
poor guy do? Just what I see and
hear, I print. There is a Bill of
Rights, you know, Freedom of the
Press, etc.
A casual comment is in order in re-
gard to a new MEMBER of the "Chow
Hounds Clan" Or perhaps it would
be safer to say a newly observed
member. Sgt. Long was found in the
Mess Hall the other day with one of
the vegetable bowls filled to capac-
ity with what he called his favorite
dish. The ingredients were some
thing like: green peas, corn pork
chops. tomato salad and blackberry
pie. all very well mixed. What a
dish! And he didn't leave drop
of it either.
wonder if by chance an onion
could have been somewhere on Sgt
Morris person the other day: After
MASKING his hand on some part of
vehicle, it was reported that those
were real tears trickling down his
cheeks.
A hint to the wise: Now is the
time for all you fellows who have
been Dragging about the "Fine
Chicks" you have to get on the ball
and produce a photo of her. We
are looking for a Company Sweet
heart for publication in this period
ical in the near future. So let's dig
them out of hiding
In answer to a popular request,
this week Variety features CLAM
our Boy No. L." Sgt. Earnest E.
Denson of Tuxedo junction way,
namely Birmingham, Ala. Sgt. Den
son, as I've been told, is running
Pvt. Harte a close second for nomi-
nation as WAC Pin-Up Boy. The
latest returns of the race have not
been reported but I fear the worst
for dear Sgt. benson. AS the say
ing goes, when you move, you lose,
and he is leaving for school this
week.
If you have seen your CORE
Spondent in and around the "Area"
here of late, I assure you it has
been strictly in the interest of my
column. I just like to check on the
boys. Pick up some pretty good
stuff. too. For instance, as cold as
it was the other night, Sgt Wilkin-
son of the Supply section just HAD
to see the picture playing at No. 4.
funny, but the same picture played
at No. the very next night. guess
the atmosphere is little different
there.
wonder if it would be safe to
mention the strange disappearance
of a quantity of beverage" which
was found in the possession of Cpl.
"W"? I really don't mean to be
meddling, but PIG. was quite dis
turbed about it, too.
1t is not a policy of this column to
cater to gossip, by any means, so
won't dare talk about the close
shave T/5 James Hines had in ON
aha. Something might come of it if
I said that it was a good thing his
course was over when it was, so let's
just forget that kind of stuff.
So sorry, I can't tell you about
our dear supply sergeants newest
affair, but he threw rank all over
me and dared me to mention his
name again.
Our "POstal Packin' Papa" Cpl.
Fair, is leaving for furlough soon.
But if he writes as many checks as
he did last Saturday, he might have
to postpone said event till another
day.
Since the reincarnation of the
Echoes" the boys have been keep
ing their dirt well under cover and
a poor reporter has to sneak around
like everything to find something to
write about. Give me a break, fell
lows.
Some of these days I am going to
interview Sgt. Ready Eddie" Davis,
of our personnel section Quite a
character but bit shy Of the press
as so many of our modest celebri-
ties are.
