intend to see some of the sur

coming furloughs. The AACS

Except for brother Arvila, who
makes nightly trips to town to see

women exist. Let’s get on the ball
boys .Mutt has been having ex
ceptional luck with the “One
Armed Bandit” at the NCO Club.
He says it is because he lives
right. We know better. T/4 Miller,
our acting 1st Sgt., is getting soggy
; shoulders and smeared stripes
from men crying on his shoulder.
The Chaplain’s no. is 19, boys.
S/Sgt. Joseph O. Jennings,
T/Sgt. Benjamin F. Mitchell, Pfc.
Anton Damm. Jr., and Pvt. Gayle
W. Turk, joined the Det. 10th Res
cue Sq. from Anchorage, recently.
Pfc. Herbert U. Green, who has
been on temporary duty, rejoined

; Service School in Anchorage. The

ting on all cylinders and it is the
hope of all the men that it con
. tinues to do so.
Sgt. Shifflette and Sgt. Lansford
j built themselves a well-construct -
j ed, 12 by 3Vfe ft. boat. It has
i brought a great deal of enjoyment
to the boys in the Signal Corps.
They also made three paddles for
it. While out on the river Tuesday
night. Pfc. Hart was paddling too
hard and his paddle broke, while
a half mile up the river. Every
body got a big kick out of it ex
cept Hank and Tex.
The Engineer softball team has
played 50-50 ball this past week.
They defeated the Signal. Corps,
9-5, but suffered a defeat at the
hands of the 53rd Airways by a
score of 13-6. The team should be
strengthened considerably by the
addition of the new men that just
arrived. Still more are on»t.he way.
The fishermen in Hq. Det. seem
to be getting; better as time goes
by. The top number caught in the
detachment so far this year is
sixteen. The rightly proud angler
is Pfc. Clemente. The other fisher
men that, were with him over the
week end didn’t even latch on to a
minnow. Dick Dahlin, who left us
a week ago, has reached the States
for discharge. He’s probably best
known here for his work as
