Shiny Boots: New
.Lustre For An Old
Military Tradition

FORT BENNING Ga.-Old SOL
diers never dieAthey just talk
each other out of existance about
the best way to bring up the shine
on pair of Army shoes.
Not in the Third Infantry Di-
vision however. The recent Shiny
Boots" contest settled that argu-
ment For day or so. at least.
NylGa and clear water is the
formula that gave the extra
something" to the mirror-liKe sur
faces of the three pairs of Army
boots that won top hoDors for
their owners in the contest.
Each winner, of course, has his
own individual way of working out
the formula.
The TOP man,Sergeanf First Class
Ted r. Thomas of (710 Race ST.
New Orleans, La. received for his
variation a plaque mounted with
pair of miniature boots and the
patch of the Rock of Marine" di-
vision.
This is how Thomas does it: He
holds the boot to be polished un-
der cold running water. Hot water,
he explains, would melt off the old
polish While the boot is dripping,
he rubs the polish in with his
fngertips, using a circular mo-
tion. Then out comes "Old Betsy"
his polishing cloth-pieces of old
nylon parachute doubled and stit-
ched together to avoid the pos
sibility Of his using the wrong side
of the fabric. The wrong side, he
explains, is to fuzzy.
Thirty minutes of polishing, more
or less, and the sergeant figures
his boots ready for inspection.
Corporal Andrew Wyatt Of
R0ute No. 81 Bessemer, Ala,
second prize winner, uses nylon
and clear water, but he dips his
nylon cloth into the water before
dipping it into the polish. No bare
fingertips for himl He brings the
polish up with an ancient T-shirt,
kept clean and ready for the oc-
casion.
The third ranking contestant,
Private First Class Wayter A. Gus
son of az Phillips ST. West Med
way, Mass, reverses the order ad-
by Wyatt. He applies the
polish with a clean, well-worn
cotton rag dipped in water, then
uses a treasured piece of nylon to
develop that ''inspection-day pa
tina"
All three agree on one point:
Whatever the formula, as Thomas
A. Edison said en- another subject,
the well-polished Army shoe is the
ressit of '95 per cent perspiration
and five per cent inspiration"
