Everything at the base Quarter- I
master started off about the same
this week except for PT grunts
and groans early Monday morn-,
ing. Morale soared though, as it I
rained that first fatal day, and
prayers for rain on Wednesday;
were vainly said. Of course the J
nightly discussions about Pen
ner’s, Joe’s, and Tom Lavan’s girl
friends don’t exactly sing one to
sleep. Oh, yes That California
weather is one of the favorites, j
too. .
It looks like T/Sgt. Till is get-'
ting the fishing fever, for he has
been down checking the Coast
Guard Boats recently. The MPs
are proud to welcome Sgt. Smith
to our folds, for he just transfer
red from QM. We see that the
Provost Marshal is getting ready
for rivilian life, for he was pres
ent at the PT formation Wednes
day morning. The MPs were hon
ored this week with a visit from
S/Sgt Miller of Ft. Richardson.
With the thawing of the ground,
many of the Ordnance boys have
taken to the hills in search of
gold. So far the intake has been
just mediocre, but with the “never
say die” attitude the boys are
still trying. Our luck has changed
from bad to good in pre-season
softball games, and we feel cer
tain that the season will follow
I
-'iich the same course as last year.
T/5 Erdman, one of our wheels, is i
taking a four week course in I
Warehousing at Fort Richardson, j
The Engineer softball team is
just about ready for their first
league game. Tney split two non
league games with the officers, |
winning the first 4-3 in ten inn
ings. After losing the second by a
one run margin, they came back
in a few days to swamp the 53rd
Airways. S/Sgt. Leslie of the En- j
gineers, and M/Sgt Ray of Head
quarters left yesterday for a three
month trip northeast to the Brooks j
Mountain Range.

The Hq. Det. boys are now tak-1
ing to the hills. Fish poles, gold
pans and hiking shoes are fast
becoming familiar objects about
the barracks. With last Friday a
holiday, ten staunch pioneers pull
ed up stakes late Thursday eve
ning and started out on a long
iaunt; five going as far as Dexter
by rail, and the rest to Glacier
Creek. The latter group came
stumbling home about 7:30 a.m.
Friday morning. The rest showed
up at 1:15 the same afternoon.
The AACS is busy enjoying the
Alaskan Territory in our off duty
hours. The unusually fine weather
as of late has enabled many of our
personnel in their free time to see
some of the country in the best
way possible, which is by foot.
Most of our personnel are taking
the phrase, “See Alaska First,”
very seriously and are finding out
that they like it very much.
The 53rd Airways has combined
with the 10th Rescue Squadron in
forming a softball team to enter
the post league. We had one de
feat in our first practice game of
the season, but will get better re
sults after more practice. T/Sgt
Starzack has found a new title for
the song “What’s The Use of Get
ting Sober When You’re Going to
Get Drunk All Over Again.” He
hasn’t revealed the new title as
yet, but who knows, he may be a
second Irving Berlin.
