 >..@ Last weeks brief mention of tha basketball prowess of Sgt. Grimes brought that soldier many ques- tions about the secret of his sud. den success. "ROadWork' was his answer; just the one word "road- work" Upon further questioning, he admitted that he is now plan ming a little conditioner of about 900 miles via Pennsylvania's Route 6. Company will be welcome, and details are available upon request to Sgt. Grimes. 2 A rather short-ived quartet sprang into existence during the week. Composed of Frank Dabecco, Joe Sickles, Roscoe Cartwright, and Linus Baker, it gained notoriety with it's vociferous rendition of their specially adapted lyrics of "Sam, You Made the Pants Too Ltng."
 It must have been the waste paper shortage that made our M/Sgt. give such strongly backed up order to S/Sgt. Gayeski about the proper place to keep pay table. Note to Gayeski: Obey your superiors.
 By the way, if you find the weather little too brisk for com fort on the long trek to and from the post theatre, why not give Gay eski's Taxi Service a ring?" The taxi usually runs, and Pete can generally be convinced that any show is worth seeing.
 
 Some concern was expressed when Carroll Buffum's bowling av- craze started to fall off. From a usually reliable sources, it has been learned that this can be traced d. rectly to his many hurried trips to town, and his latest heart throb.
 
 How long have you been in f1- nance, Fred? It's about time you started to learn what you're SUD- posed to have been doing all that time. Good luck at school, and say hello to our boys who are already there.

Mr. Craig Pottinger
Dear Sir:
take this chance to thank you
for The International I have been
receiving lately. 1t is a pleasure to
read the home town paper and get
acquainted with all the news from
hcNe.
You probably don't know me but
I used to work with Puchi on Nor
ley avenue. To make the story
short, just ask Pete Abadie and he'll
tell you that 1 was the lousiest
umpire he ever had.
It might be coincidence, but
Paul Durazo and I have been to-
gether ever since we left Nogales.
I read in the paper about not
letting the boys go across the line.
1t was really disappointment the
last day I spent at home and I
couldn't go and see the bull fights.
I felt like a stranger and left the
next day with my tail between my
legs.
I have no news to tell you from
up here-only that it is cold and
windy
On Christmas Eve 1 met Leonardo
F'ontes and didn't have much time
to talk, thinking that would see
him again, but l was moved to an
other part OF the rock.
Regards to Pete, AL Puchi, Tio
Lupito. and the rest of the gang.
So-"Hasta La Vista

England.
Dear Mr.. Pottinger

Dear Mr.. Pottinger,
This England is quite a country.
The people here take this war much
more seriously than do the people
back home. Naturally, they are
more conscious of the war. The
bombing damage in any large city
serves constantly as a reminder.
Rationing over here is much more
strict and inclusive. All cloth is
rationed; a person can't buy even
a handkerchief without coupons.
The average civilian gets two ounces
of butter a week and two strips of
bacon A light housecoat costs a
woman eighteen ration coupons,
and she is allowed only "a every six
months.
Yet you hear very little complain
ing, and it doesn't take a lot of OPA
snooping to enforce the rationing
system.
Yours very truly,
LIT. CHARLES L. HARDY

SKIN deep, too.
Things are fine here 'dinkum"
as the Aussies say it. I have been
overseas two years and hope to get
back to the old country some, time
in the near future That's only my
guess.
I have received some copies of
your paper and, boy, are they well
come. It's like getting letter
from everyone-who's where and
what's doing around.
One of the things I will always
remember is the time I didn't see a
white woman for six months. and
just lately I have seen a few Yank
girls-Red Cross workers There
are some nice looking nurses over
here, too, only you have to get sick
to see them and they wonder why

Dear Sir,
For the past year or so I have
been getting your good old home
town paper, the Nogales Interna-
tioral, and believe me have really
enjoyed reading every single bit Of
the news you print in it. It's really
a swell paper, tops of them all, be-
cause it keeps a guy well informed
on what's going on around the old
town.
I want to express my gratitude in
thanking you for the wonderful
work you're putting out, and to my
folks for being so considerate in
subscribing to it for me. I think
it is one of the best gifts a fellow
can get down here in these far
away, desolated places. Sort of
lifts up your morale when you are
down and out, you know.
One suggestion, thought. that I
would like to make, MI. Pottinger,

cause due to their long trip and all
the beating they take, they come

Walter Wanger Says
A Postwar Burden
Rests on HOLLYWOOD
By the Associated Press


HOLLYWOOD.
The way Walter Wanger, a movie
maker who has been crusading for q
more adult attitude toward world
affairs on the part OF Hollywood,
sees it, responsibility for winning the
peace rests squarely on the motion
picture industry.
Films, he says, have reached the
pinnacle Of their Importance through
the war. This Is due to success OF
service training films.
Foreign governments, too, recog-
lnize this Importance, says Wanger
IOf the three means of world COM
lmunication, newspapers, radio and
films, only films, he explains, reach
the larger audience as America s
emissary. People of the world may
be reached by films designated to
inform them so that they make in
telligent inquiry and learn how to
distinguish the various pressure and
propaganda groups.
Eleven million brave people can
win the war, but 13O,000,0O0 uni
formed Americans can lose the
peace, for the world looks to Amer
lea for leadership, says the producer
The number one job Of films is to in
form America and make Americans
aware that America determines the
future OF the world, says Wagner.

ROME, Oct. 1.-THE Pelopon-

lister of the Greek government
in exile took over administration
of the peninsula as British
forces pushed eastward toward
the ISthmus of Corinth.
A field dispatch from the cap

been vacated by Nazi troops in the
exodus noted earlier in the south
ern and central sections.
"a dispatch from Cairo
said reconnaissance photographs
showed the Germans had blocked
the Corinth ship canal, which
cuts across the narrow isthmus,
by demolishing two bridges and
sinking blockship. Greeks in
London said they had heard that
the Germans blockaded all roads
to Athens and that fighting was
in progress at the heart of the
