The local man who spent two
Christmases-both at sea in 1916
is home.
Whether or not the second Christ
mas Day was a bonus, offered by a
Irepentant Fate, for the single varie-
ty spent a year before in fighting
the historic Battle of the Bulge,
former T/Sgt. Charles C. McGlaugh-
lin doesn't know. Anyhow, even
though there was only one turkey
dinner, mclaughlin and his COM
panions in arms aboard the banana
boat en- route Stateside from Olzina-
wa, thoroughly enjoyed the double
Noel.
They started celebrating Christ
mas in the usual orthodox manner
at reveille on December Is. How
ever, at p. m. on the same day
they crossed the International Date
Line, which set them back to De-
CGLlDtl II dllu illus LIlG next udy 5
they again celebrated Christmas.
What with the turkey, all the Christ
mas radio programs from home COM
ing in loud and clear and the pros
pect of getting home no longer q
nostalgia dream, it was a pretty fine
couple of Christmases, according to
the sergeant.
Enlisting in 1910, when he was a
student at the University of Mary
land, mclaughlin, who is the son
of Mr., and Mrs Charles G. Nc
Glaughlin, Hillcrest Ave, has com
pleted 18 months overseas. with a
fire control unit of the 615 Ordnance
Battalion. Landing in Scotland, he
has served in England, France, Bel

In the Battle of the Bulge his
unit had narrow squeak when they
were caught in a German pincers
movement They got out with all
personnel intact, but lost their elab-
crate equipment and were on de-
tached duty with other outfits until
other materiel could be sent them
from England.
While happy to be out of the Ar
my, the young sergeant expressed
himself as feeling a definite concern
over the state of the nation, par
ticularly on the matter of what he
considers the too-rapid demobiliza-
ton of our armed forces.
"Sure everyone wants to come
home," he said, "but they'd better
start figuring the score-this is a
pretty unfinished war and the men
who are making the loudest howl
are the low point men who have
never been in combat"
Contrary to the majority of CTS
who find the separation process an
irksome one, mclaughlin, who was
flown from Sacramento, Cal, to
Newark and discharged from Fort
! Meade, found the Army doing a good
JOB.
II was really surprised at how
efficient the Army can be when il
takes a notion, he said. "They put
us through Meade with no confusion
at all. It was slick"
For the delight of his daughter
! Cheryl, who will be two in March
and whom he had not seen since
she was six weeks old, mclaughlin
who lost no time getting into civil
ian clothes, may occasionally put on
his bestarred "brag rags"-the ETC
Philippine and American Thea
! tire ribbons and the treasured Victory
/ ribbon.

l Real Good Deed

Last Monday morning, a gentle
man identify unknown) was
passing the Chamber of Com
merce on East Washington street,
when he noticed snow shovel
leaning against the window, as
if it were patiently waiting for
someone to use it to clear off
the snow in front of the Chamber
office.
CHANGING in the window and
seeing only Miss Martha Gross
and Miss Lima Myers at their
desks Che failed to notice mana
ger Robert Dean at his desk in
the back office) our unknown
hero promptly removed his over
coat, hung it on the door, grabbed
the shovel and did the best job
of removing that snow, you've
ever seen.
His good deed done, he donned
his overcoat, smiled and waved
to Miss Gross and Miss Myers,
and proceeded cheerily on his
way.
No one in the Chamber office
recognized him, but if this chances
to catch his eye, he will receive
the very grateful thanks of the
two young ladies - and Robert
Dean as well-if he will just drop
in at the Chamber office the next
time he passes by.

Radio Workshop
In Quiz Broadcast
High School Students Aid The
Clothing Drive With Novel
Quiz Show Over WEI.

Famous Folk From Foreign
Countries, well hidden in a series
of clues cleverly written by high
school students, formed the basis of
radio quiz show, produced by the
Radio Workshop of the high school
under the direction of Mrs. Marjorie
Hoachlander and broadcast from
WEI Friday evening. AS the work
shops contribution to the United
National Clothing Collection, admis-
sion for the studio audience was a
bundle of clothing and an estimated
$50 pounds of wearables was col
lected.
The "quizees' were drawn from
the audience, with Mabel Fentress
and George Snyder, of the Work
shop, giving the clues and Frank
Bowers, of WEI, acting as master
of ceremonies. Patsy Crilley, an
honorary member of the Workshop,
was at the studio organ and gave a
spirited rendition of the United
Nations March and other selections.
Local merchants donated hand
somely to the three tables of prizes
set up for the 5 point point and
point clues and all of the contestants
won at least one prize. Interspersed
with music and carried on at a fast
pace by the members of the work
shop, the program had a profession
al air that spoke well for the ac-
cOmplishments of this most progress
sive addition to the high school cir
riculum.
In keeping with the United Ma
tions theme, each contestant was
asked to give his racial background.
English and German ancestry pre-
dominated, with Dutch-Holland, not
Pennsylvania-running a close third.
Spain got an inning in the person
of young Joe Sponagle, who an
nounced that his name was Spanish
and stuck to it.
Among Famous Folk" included
in the Quiz were Florence Nightin-
gale, whose identity was so well
disguised that Mrs. Leonard WaIzen-
light used up her first two clues;
Knute Rockne, who proved to be a
push-over for Sgt. Jones on the first
clue; Chopin, who caused Bob Fen
tress some confusion, even when
augmented by strains from some Of
his works; Mrs. J D. Hicks came
to grief on Ingrid Bergman, but
finally caught her on the l point clue
and the family honor was further
enhanced by Mr. Hicks, who guessed
Louis Pasteur on the first clue. Ar
den Eichelberger won point
prize on Madame Curie and Anne
Jackson ran into difficulty over the
Russian-born composer, Izzy BALM,
better known to admi2ing millions
as song writer Irving Berlin.
To give the contestants breathing
space, two vocal numbers were Civ.
en- by members of the Workshop,
accompanied by Mrs. Hoachlander at
the piano. Bill Robe- tson, tenor,
sang the ever popular 'I'm Always
Chasing Rainbows" and Janice
Welsh sang the refugee song Sym
phony," which, with words consid-
erably altered, is one of the current
song hits.
The program closed with the Unit
ed National March, played by Miss
Crilley and sung by the audience
and members of the Workshop.
