Boy Scout Notes


The Cub Scouts are still busy
gathering old papers. They have ac-
cumulated quite a quantity in Mr.
Fewkes' warehouse. Sunday the

gathered will be moved to Libby

for the boys and the response has
been creditable.

evening of games and refreshments.
Mr.. and Mrs. ANDERSEN served
them in the home several foods
dear to the hearts of the boys, hot
dogs, coke, eggs, potato chips, ETC.,
and then the host took them to the
restaurant where each scout had
the privilege of ordering whatever
appealed to his taste. The boys
had swell time and were loud
in their praises of Mr.. and Mrs.
AndTessen.
On Wednesday the Boy Scouts
full Of pep and armed with rakes,
forks and wheelbarrow met
at the Scout room to begin big
cleanup. The first place Of attack
was the ground adjacent to the
building. When a 1.-THE grass and
accumulated debris had been taken
care Of here the boys under the
leadership Of the Scoutmaster, did
likewise for the grounds of the re-

the efforts of these boys who were

 Wednesday at the Canteen sure proved to be an exceptional eve ning-Sgt.

The spaghetti dinner pre- pared and donated by the Hostesses was simply divine-was enjoyed by all.

 Congratulations to our new Pres ident, Sgt. Ira J. Holiday; Vice, Pvt. Carlos Beaudreau; Secretary Treasurer, Cpl Cornelius A. Wat son.
 Bowling is quite a habit among some of our Strollers-Tuesday nights bring Glover, Lindsey, Hen derson and Chapman, Pat, Whita- ker, Airline and Mary to some wild matches on the State Alleys-you should come down and play some times you have to bowl 159 or better to top the ringleader says Pat. To all of the fellows that we didn't see before our departure we, Hale, Glymph and Mayes, Stroll lers that have crossed to the other side, say farewell and it was swell knowing you. We'll be seeing you perhaps Saturday,, definitely Tues day.

THE CHAPLAIN
 Writes Chaplain Wm. J. Van Cleve
Joe Gets Busted
Chaplain Wm. J. Van Cleve

Dear Gertrud:
 We'll, it's gone and happened. I just new that something was going to happen with Jim incoming round about Susie the way he was doing. Last saturday we was to have inspection and just about time for it to start had to go back to the barraks about something and there was Jim's bed not made up and inspection practically started. His incoming a round about Susie had maid him forget all about it, l guess. Anyway started making up his bunk for him and just about that time the sargent yells atten- tion and there i was by his bed that wasn't maid up. Of course they thought it was my bunk be- cause was working on it and the sargent took my name and cereal number and today they busted me back to a bulk private again. Of course didn't say anything be- cause didn't want Jim to get busted to, but wished i had never took him home with me and got Susie to run round with him.
 The chaplain came threw the barraks right after inspection and was finishing making up Jim's bunk for him and he asked me if had moved my bunk and i told him mo-, was making up Jim's bunk that he forgot to make up. Jim feels awful bad about it and he wanted to go right over and tell the sargent it was all his fault but wouldn't let him because then they wood have busted him sure, and i feel that it was my fault anyway for getting him and Susie to running a round together.
 I did feel kind of foolish at the chapel service last sunday without my strip on and the place where it had been showing up like a big mountain in a wide vally But guess it's all in a life time anyhow, and that's the way the army is. The chaplain told us in his sermon that we had to be good soldiers and not be afraid to take a little bit of hard ships if we was to stand for what is right and i felt some better about it. I sure wood have been blew though if it hadn't been for that chapel service and what the chaplain said, and was sure glad that started going to chapel services like promised you and maw wood. It will all come out in the wash, except hope it isn't as tough to wash as some of my clothes are sometimes after been on KIP. or some detail like that.
 ....=..-. Your washed out,
 .... Pvt. Joe.

By BUBBLE BELLY, SIR.
Now It Can Be Told

Wednesday night has come and gone but memories of G Squadron's Party will linger-but long. Many G Wheel" that spun the evening of March twenty-first had hard time even turning over in bed the morning of the tWenty-second. Little doubt, however, but what everyone" had a swell time v. Starting at the logical place and the place everyone started at, the buffet table, the evening was tre- mendous success. The food was ter rife and those who arrived early enough to see the spread before it was attacked really saw gour- mand's paradise, cold sliced turkey, cold cuts, potato salad and many other added attractions. And any one who didn't get all the liquid refreshments he wanted just couldn't have wanted enough. Yes, from a stomach's eye view, the party was juicy morsel of over indulgence.

Has Come To Bradley

(Reprinted from P April, 1944,
 issue of BEAM) Spring has came to Bradley I am very glad to see. Seeded area signs are up, The grass is green, like me. Spring has came to Bradley With a warm, tropical blast. The sand is blowing merrily, Just like the Spring that past. Spring has came to Bradley The boids are bleating too, Just like the little sojers As they greet the cooks lamb stew. Spring has came to Bradley Lovers walk beneath the blue, Hand in hand-stripes unbound This is seasonal, too. Spring has came to Bradley Leave us not pretend 'tain't true. I can feel the sap within my blood And it shows in my poetry, also.

 Then There Was Show
 Sometime around eight thirty, the show, presented by stars of radio station WTIC got underway, and as we predicted last week, many an impromptu entertainer was discovered. After the inevit- able, Gentlemen" speech by It. Rivlin, Cpl. Andy Bourke tried to get the floor He did, but not the way expected. George Bowe, MIG on the "Quiz-of- -two-Cities" pro- gram also Med our show, present ing among others the popular Bob Steele, Rose Caruso, vocalist and Harold Cope, pianist. A truth and consequences" game kept the audi ence in mysteries particularly the ice juggleing act of Westhaver and St. Mauro. Ask them about it. Dancing to the music of Al Gen. tiles Orchestra followed the show.
 The People
 Just about everyone in G attend ed the party. Guests who we spotted while in spotting mood included Col. Johnson, our Base co, Ut. Col. MacLeaon, Major Farrell, Major L. Campbell, Capt. Waldron, It. Cluverius, It. Farrell and It. Sentilles. Behind the buffet table were the familiar faces of the following JWB-USO Senior Hostesses: Mesdames Wm. Robin son, M. Katz, M. Sussman, J.. Schwartz and H. Becker. Many thanks, ladies, for a repast that was really "sumpin" .,. Rowan made the affair, and early, in spite of our cracks but here's what a couple of his riders thought of the trip. S/Sgt. A. Stowe said, Tt was out of this world, practically en- tirely." S/Sgt. Bob Stenard, who risked the same ride remarked, "We were lucky we made it." h. cidentally, he spent half the ride with rain in his face, seems the window wouldn't close. T1Sgt. Herman apparently had a swell time, and not a book in sight. . Doesn't our friend Katz from Con- valescent Training dance divinely? I dunno? Sgt. Ochmanski and Marge had more trouble with Westhaver and their engagement. :. S/Sgt. Joe Joyce and his Mrs. forgetting red points and chewing merrily. :. Civvy by the name of C1affey who was once in the old 29th stopped in for look-see. Remember him? M/Sgt. Joe Eller and his spouse having fun, even though he remarks, laconical ly, "She's younger than I am." Cpl. Kelly of Ground Training was cold sober, it was the effect of visit by his favorite belle from Richmond that caused the glazed look in his eyes. Where was Tom Conroy?

Four Herd Owners
Win State Awards

Four Washington County dairy
herd owners are included in the
sixty-five Maryland herd owners
who have been awarded Honor Roll
Certificates for 1914 by the National
Dairy Association, it was announced
this week at the University of
Maryland. The certificates are CIV
en- annually to all members of dairy
herd-i m proven ent associations
whose herds have a 359-pound aver
age or above.
Since only rs Maryland herds
were eligible for the award in 1913,
the present large number of Honor
Roll members speaks well for the
progress made by local herd owners
in the past few years. With three
more notwithstanding, Anne
Arundel, and Misunderstanding their
first year sometime in 1945, it is
hoped that even more herds will be
honored when the 1915 list of win
ners is announced.
The four county owners are: r. A.
McCauley Mark Petre, Charles
Shaw and Eldred Rinehart.

All Clubs To Hold
Rural Life Sunday

All Clubs throughout the country
are observing their All Club Sun
day this year on May 6, the day
set aside by the National Council
of Churches as Rural Life Sunday.
That was the news from Miss Doro-
thy Emerson, girls club agent, and
Mylo S. Downey, state boys club
agent, both at the University of
Maryland
Many Maryland 4-Clubs are ex-
pected to participate this year, Miss
Emerson said. The members will at
tend church together or perhaps
conduct sunrise or sunset services
in some scenic spot. They will dec
crate the churches with plants and
with green and white flowers repre-
senting the All Club colors. The
boys and girls will serve as ushers,
give talks, and contribute special
musical numbers. In many cases
they may take over the conduct of
the church services entirely for this
one Sunday. Their services will be
planned to fit in with this years
theme, "The Christian Way of Life. .
Rural Sunday was first observed
in 1929. It's purpose, it is stated, is
to magnify the relation of God and
man in food production, and to pray
Gods blessings upon the human
efforts to prepare for a crop"
Although the fifth Sunday after
Easter is the day additionally
selected for Rural Life Sunday, it
may prove more satisfactory for the
All Clubs of some communities to
hold their services on some other
Sunday in May or June, where there
is the least conflict with other
events. In fact, clubs in Maryland
counties last year observed Rural
Life Sunday in the fall rather than
in the Spring.
