What has Winchell got that to want do Cpl. Harry Shershow is Quot is and stripes staff w Riter i was dragged away from my heartaches and loneliness. Every Good Soldier has Many heartaches and much loneliness with Wimch he shares is Pup tent there were hundreds of More important things to do but i was assigned to cover this wac housewarming party. The wac s had moved from shelf tents into Barracks and they had decided a warming up party was in order. So parking my unhappiness i brushed my Teeth and went out to do Battle with the hussies. A Herzl entered the door i was acco Raea a Royal reception. A husky blonde tech sergeant asked for my pass or she said she would throw me the hell out. She was Strong enough to heave out a couple of reporters my size so i showed her the pass before she attempted to muss up my highly treasured profile. Inside a there were hundreds of Waco a mingling and chattering and their invited men walked around in circles expecting the dream to come to a sudden ending. But it want a dream As a Soldier who pinched one quickly found out. The percentage of officers present was Small and this was the most shocking observation i made. After that controversy about officers being Able to Date wac a we the enlisted men were certain that our a female counterparts would be spending All their time with officers. At this party there were about a dozen unhappy officers and almost two Hundred enlisted men with pfc a predominating. Program for the evening called for a stage show titled Quot sweater girl a dancing and refreshments. Before the curtains went up for the show guests and hostesses found themselves seats and proceeded to make themselves comfortable. Getting comfortable at a wac affair Means crowding yourself As closely to your Beautiful neighbor As conventions will allow smoking nervously and reaching into your stagnant vocabulary to pull out such hackneyed phrases As Quot Beautiful eyes Quot Quot gorgeous lips Quot Quot Angel face Quot Honey Quot sugar or Quot you remind me of my As soon As the music began you could Tell where the officers sat and where the enlisted men. Officers sat up stiffly looked intently at the show and nodded gentlemanly approval. Enlisted men rocked their Heads to the Tempo of Savage music looked intently at their girl friends and emitted such vulgar expressions As yippee in the Groove hit me with. A Falcion Momma and shake me Loose Quot when the music soared into torrid Heights several enlisted men standing in the Back Row were seen to swing their Var their through a an Over the shoulder exercise. I when the stage show ended and the lights went on again All Over the Barracks seats were cleared out. Of the. Hall and the floor waxed. It was dancing time a colonel looked nervously at the restless enlisted men and asked to be shown to the Supply room where it is rumoured he spent an enjoyable evening munching sandwiches and talking. The band swung out with its sizzling rhythm and the dance floor became strictly Savoy. Legs kicked at each other All Over the place. One lieutenant let his hair Down and showed some of the boys a new Way to Cut the Rug. During intermission refreshments Wem served. The Santt Wiches containing i fillers had All been de crus ted and Cut into Bridge table size. And that is All there was to this wac housewarming party. As far As the warming part went the affair w As certainly a Success because six or seven male hepcat ripped off their of neckties rolled up their sleeves and broke All temperature records for getting in the Groove. On the Way out guests and wac s separated gigs leaving through the front door and the girls going upstairs to their sleeping quarters. At tvs Point that husky tech sergeant had her wish. She threw me out by the front door a but mall Call confused dear editor twice now articles have appeared quoting overseas troops As prefer ing to stay Over until Victory is achieved. Yet five of our senators seemed to have a different answer. Who then is doing All this talking in our behalf personally i believe we know less now what to expect than we Ever did before. Just wanting to go Home is of course foolish if it Means hampering the Progress of the War by removing and exchanging troops but perhaps there a More to be considered. If we Are going to stay Ever Here for the final curtain lets have to straight but let us Cut out this Dilly dallying i sincerely believe though that if we soldiers Are asked to take an interest in Post War problems and the part we Are expected to play that present War problems Wogh singing heavily on a Soldier s mind should be lifted now. A puzzled number of Heaters dear editor How Many motion picture Heaters Are there in the United states a the hot stovers there Are 20,281 motion picture Heaters in the u. S. With a total of 11,719,101 seats. This Means there is one motion picture theater a eat for every 12 inhabitants and Ine theater open for every 8,000.�?editor. Declaration of War dear editor will you please answer this question did the United states officially declare War on Germany and Italy first or was it vice versa a pfc. N. J. Grocc1a Germany and Italy declared War against the u. S. Dec. 11, 1941. Congress then declared War on the two . Nazi rattle cry dear editor the Fellows around a certain replacement depot Are quite envy of is of the germans fighting on the italian and russian fronts. It seems the nazi Battle cry now is Quot Home for Christmas by 43�?� a it. B. F.

Wherever there a stripes both up and Down you see butter and Corn flakes there. We last six grades just sit and look but they Don t seem to care.

To see the privates in such a sorry mood first graders Aren t bad Fellows they re just misunderstood butter and Corn flakes and stuff like that Are privileges were accorded but our stripes were earned by a Plain hard work not simply awarded.
