tennis serve as an outlet for the more specialized athletes. Rain often. Nights are cool and days are hot. The mistral winds are a nuisance. The chow line is long. "Meet you at the Pink Elephant . . ." Most popular GI café in Marseille is the Pink Elephant on the Canebière. Formerly known as "Whitey’s Tavern", the place is now operated by Army Exchange Service. American beer goes for three francs a can. "The Hook . . ." The unpleasant shot in the arm provides insurance against cholera and typhus. Nothing new to GIs who have moved across half the world — and been "shot" with every move. More than 3,000,000 gallons of water are consumed daily in order to supply the needs of the men and equipment at the staging areas. Seven packs of smokes a week . . . and ration day also includes candy, toilet articles or an occasional special like cigarette lighters or fountain pens. The French girl behind the PX counter smiles, too. The bus service between Marseille and the staging areas carried 17,615 passengers in an 18-hour period on August 5th. When you go to Marseille, you get your pants pressed. Here the job is done at the American Red Cross Club — "While You Wait". A monthly wage of more than $1,500,000 is paid to prisoners of war here who were engaged in supporting redeployment of troops and supplies to the Pacific. Betty Hutton’s début in the ETO gave the GI audiences a few hours in which to forget their troubles. She was the usual vivacious gal you see in films, and was a true trouver for all the GIs. Thanks, Betty, for bringing us a touch of Hometown, U.S.A. Bea Allen, the star dancer of the show, is a stunning eye-flick, and rated A-number-one with the Joes when she strutted her stuff behind the footlights. Bill Wood, once a model for Maiudin, is the star of the GI show, Anything Goes. This accordion player, who posed for Maiudin's Willie, plays the popular tunes of the day and with his comic actions

This accordion player, who posed for Maiudin's Willie, plays the popular tunes of the day and with his comic actions brings out beaucoup laughter. Catch that show. It’s a corker. For the fellows who asked, the glamorous bass fiddler in Dartega's All-Girl Orchestra is Laura Bohie. We saw her work and that tall, pretty chick kept us staring during the entire show. Billie Joyce, the featured vocalist, does a bang-up job of driving the blues away in the same show. We salute Pvt Jack Varner who installed the loudspeaker system at Calas. This sound wizard has done a great job and the hundreds of happy men are enough that his work is appreciated. Work like this deserves a Legion of Merit. The largest dental clinic in the ETO is in operation at Arles. The city boasts some of the newest and finest dental equipment in use today. Lt Dickerson and promoter Mike Prmak of St. Victoret are at Calas quite a bit these days, helping Special Service there to get fighters and fights at their area. The first weekly card appears tonight and Calas fight fans won't have to travel farther than the Tcenair Memorial Amphitheater to see the boys trading blows. Wonder how military will be the relationship between EM and officers on their next trip? Arles got seven

The first weekly card appears tonight and Calas fight fans won't have to travel farther than the Tcenair Memorial Amphitheater to see the boys trading blows. Wonder how military will be the relationship between EM and officers on their next trip? Arles got seven new Military Intelligence Training Units during the week. The units are composed of men who have "had it" in the Pacific. They will visit all the areas to tell us the score on the war in the Pacific. Many new trucks have been brought to Victoret this week. This will alleviate the transportation difficulties in this area where many men troops are expected to arrive this month. The Yugoslav show has been well received. It is a finely constructed performance and keeps the more serious minded men contented for an hour and a quarter. That's all for now except that a suit of civvies looks a lot closer to being worn than last week at this time. "COMME-CI, COMME-CA" Sgt Jack Kutzin, of DBS Special Service is pictured here with four of the cast of the French Variety Show, "Comme-Ci, Comme-Ca", which is touring the staging areas.

With the Frenchmen and the liquor traders careening down the highway, a jeep driver taxes his life in his hands on each trip, complained a bitter jeep jockey. OBSERVATIONS OF A GI DRIVER—The British drive on the left side of the road, the Russians drive on the right side. In deference to both countries, the French drive in the middle. COINS AND MORE COINS Lt. Col. William F. Fennell, Saltsburg, Pa., newly crowned Assistant General of the Arles Staging Area boasts a varied assortment of European and Asian monetary mediums. Colonel Fennell collected many of the coins and bills during the three months of duty in Odessa, Russia. Included in his collection is a Japanese coin used during the occupation of the Philippines by the Japs. SWEATING IT OUT— A varied number of ways are being employed by transient troops here to sweat out the dusty daze. Some members of a general hospital have formed a bible study club and are passing the time in that manner. HOTDOGS! — Thousands of Arles stages are enjoying excellent swimming conditions at Kramer Beach. Hot dog and hamburger vendors are kept busy by the hungry swimmers.

Approximately 5,000 men are served daily. Yes, there is still the typical GI line, but a cold coke and a hot dog are worth waiting for. OPTIMISTIC—It is no longer the Golden Gate in ’48. Stages enthusiastic about the turn of events in the CBI now have a new ditty— “Riverside Drive in ’45”.

Marseille Liberated 23 August Threatened from the sea by a powerful combination of American and French vessels and from behind by the rapidly advancing allied forces, the Germans evacuated Marseille. The city was liberated by the 3rd D.I.A., a French unit, on 23 August, 1944.
