The movies have also utilized Prima's talent with two of his outstanding per formances being given in Alice Faye's Rose of Washington Square" and Bing Crosby's Rhythm on the Range" He is also noted for his ability as a com poser and among the numbers he has penned are the famed "Sing, Sing, Sing" and Where Have We Met Before.' As a bandleader, Prima is popular for his "scat" style of singing and his strictly zany antics as he conducts. An out standing example of this can be seen as he leads the band in "Please No Squeeza Da Banana.

Prima, whose recent platters, Angelina" and Robin Hood," are at present hitting among the best sellers, was born in New Orleans which no doubt accounts for his theme song "Way Down Wonder in New Orleans" When Louis was seven he headed into the musical realm via a violin but at the age of fifteen decided to drop the long haired stuff for a noisier trumpet and the tive that it could produce.
 Prima first came to the attention of tive fans when he appeared at the Famous Door Club in New

'Ciggy Ration .ln Style, OPS
 Very yPopnlar

Anyone who can boast of a smokers cough can consider it a luxury. Or haven't you received your cigarette ration book yet?
 Let's take us for instance, We generally smoke about two packs of cigarettes day or IA packs per week. Under the present ration system we receive six packs which leaves us three alternatives to make up the missing eight. I've can cut down to six. 2-We can buck the civilian market and join in the cigar store lines. 3-We can roll our own.
 In our case number one is out cause we just don't have any will power. Number two isn't practical because we don't leave the Base enough even though we must ad- init we have it over the Civvies when it comes to line-waiting ex- perience. That leaves three or shades of Bull Durham"
 There are three techniques in rolling ones own. The machine method which no one South or West of the Hudson would be caught dead using; the two-handed or "I'm just beginner" style and the one handed "hold the pouch in the teeth, Pm from Texas" method. We tried all three. The machine ones were packed too tight and be- sides a friend of ours from Okla homa caught us at it and we aren't speaking. The two-handed butts were packed too thin and burned out in blaze of glory and nicotine and the enchanted method netted no results whatsoever except crumbs of tobacco on our waist coat. We now smoke OPS.

Personnel from Bradley Field, Cushing General Hospital and the Connecticut State Police worked in close cooperation recently so that an Army private, injured when his car overturned near Danbury, Conn.,, might not lose the use of his limbs.
 Pvt. Raymond E. Bedford, of Bridgeport, Conn.,, was motoring near the Hat City when the acci- dent occurred and he suffered a fractured spine. Dr. John Booth of the Danbury Hospital telephoned the Cushing Hospital and said that Bedford was in immediate need of neuro-surgical care. After the tele- phone conversation Major William E. Scoville, Assistant Chief of Neuro-surgery at Cushing, left by ambulance for the 160-mile trip to Danbury in an ambulance loaded with special surgical equipment and accompanied by assistants and technicians. Upon arriving at Dan- bury it was decided that the patient must be moved to Cushing for specialized treatment, however, this presented something of a problem since the slightest jolt dur ing the trip might result in a permanent paralysis of both the arms and legs of the patient.
 It was finally decided to place Pvt. Bedford in a complete cast from head to hips. The patient was then moved by ambulance to Bridgeport with the cooperation of the State Police where a CAT transport from Bradley, converted into hospital plane, met the am bulance. Pvt. Bradford was then flown to Bedford, Mass, near the hospital, being attended enroute by It. Bertha Whipple, Bradley Nurse now transferred from this Base, and Sgt. Norman Copenhagen of the Bradley Station Hospital. Both

NEGRO SUPPLY
UNIT CONTROLS
LARGEST DEPOT

WITH THE 555TH ON. BAT
TALON. France.-Negro soldiers
OF the Qusrtermaster Corps are
operating, the largest supply depot
on the European Continent. They
have supplied clothing and equip
ment to the front-line fighting
troops during the war against Ger
many.
On an average day the men,
bers of the depot handled from
1000 to 400 tons Of clothing
and equipment. Twenty thousand
tons Of materiel were unloaded
from the trucks and trains after
IL days Of operation when the
depot personnel began their
huge task. Supplies included
overcoats. raincoats. combat uni
forms. shoes. blankets. jackets,
socks, mittens. caps. underwear,
field equipment. mops. brooms,
insecticide and thousands of 9TH
er items.
THE GERMANS HAD made use
OF the depot for the same purpose
and left in hasty retreat. Trains
were standing in the depot loaded
with supplies that the German
army would never receive. The
warehouses had to be cleared for
the arrival OF trainloads OF Amer
lean equipment before the 555th
Quartermaster battalion could be-
gin 10 operate.
Use was made OF thousands OF
German prisoners of war TO load
and unload supplies for the troops
on the Continent. Negro soldiers
stood guard over the prisoners,
