A visit to the hospital last Thurs day night brought to light this story with a moral. The Wac who tells the story on herself is anony- nous by request.
 It was the time of the circus fire in Hartford when some of the vic tims were brought to the Station Hospital for attention. Sitting dis concertedly on her bed,. our Wac, who had just been admitted for the second time in few months, this time for a sprained ankle, was heard to mutter, Gee, everything happens to me" One of the circus victims, a girl about seven, with her hands and arms bandaged, walked over to the unhappy Wac and quietly said, "It happens to other people, tool" And with that she strolled away, leaving our Wac wishing she could vanish into air.

It's great to be home, and I'm only sorry we couldn't bring our guys back with us. Some of the boys we met in Europe would be content to stay there as occupa- tion troops for awhile, but for the great majority who've seen combat, who've lived in tents and barracks and foxholes, who've eat- on CT rationS and who've been separated from their families and their main streets for so long-the show is over. The ETC is just one big waiting room where, feel ing like man with his 9 weeks notice, they are just sweating it out until Uncle Sam starts rotat- ing them back to good old Shan gri-la.
 Almost all the guys we talked to over there seemed to feel 1t would be great If we could bring the high-point men home, gradually lowering the necessary score, and replace them month by month with troops who've never been overseas. Now that the pressures of battle are over, the trip could be exciting and something of an adventure for these fresh, young CT troops, and with the armys system of ETC furloughs expand ed they now send every man to a rest area such as the Ri- viera, Switzerland, Paris, Bavaria or Brussels every two months they would get to see lot of the world.
 Flying over the states, see ter- rain from my plane window that could be Germany, except that all the buildings are still standing. l can't help thinking how lucky we were to beat the Germans to the atomic bomb. We saw the los ing side, and I want to tell every one of you Americans who spent your money for bonds and taxes that the military boys really put your cabbage to good use.
 Our dollars made lot of fine craters in Superland. When you're trayeling through Ger many, you sometimes catch your self feeling sympathetic as you see old people pushing what's left of their belongings in baby buzz gies, pushcarts and on bicyclese, looking for their homes which have been blown away. But then you think how many great American guys they heiled into graves and you believe they got what was coming to them. It could have been our old folks
