JUHSABt
V v
The trip below was&'t much of a success from a recruiting
standpoint, but we certianly got something* I'll say we did* The
worst part of the trip was the fact that Sgt* Hhshy got sick in
Juneau, and had to be left in the hospital there. Of course we
know he will get the best of care, but know he would sooner be
here with the "home-folks".
The thanks of the recruiting party are due Mr* Walker and
Mr* Mann for the able assistance they rendered us, and to the
Juneau papers for the publicity they gave our trip* Earlier in the
winter the trip would have probably been more successful.
The basket-ball games Haines attempted to play in Juneau and
Douglas were highly suocessful, as parodies* Douglas High almost
wore themselves out making baskets* The general opinion was that
the Baines team had nice uniforms*
The next time we go oh that kind of a trip we intend taking
our own hook along, Just td have someplace to hang around on*
HHAPSODIiSS OF A HOSPITAL PATIENT:
Sgt.Maj.Ward visited, the hospital Thursday to see if any of
us wanted anything from the barracks. Devlin says,"tell him to
bring my rifle up, I wanna clean it" •
The Hospital is the center of novelty these days; the brilliancy
of all organizations being represented hero - Farquar,Papke,Cole
and Brodie of the QMC ,Jones,Whipple,Lubin and Daniels of Co*"A",
Dunham,Devlin and Sutherland of Hqrs*,Morris and Johnson of the
. Civilian Employees, and Ward of the Finance. If we weren*t so sick,
it would be a lovely aggregation.
Long as we have known Mr .Morris, little did we suspect him of
being the far-famed Alladin until he appeared with his wonderful
Lamp.
Some of the hospital blankets are not in high favor with the
patients. We refer to those marked "M.D* ,U.S.A." (many die; you
shall also.)
The only man, as far as we are able to learn, who took the
Juneau trip and didn't get sick is Sgt*Howell* We suspect him of
taking an antidote in Douglas*
The hospital boys are sure hard, conscientious worker^.iSvery
time 1 roll over they have something for mo* Mostly a capsule or
a pill,but it shows they are liberal with what they have. are
also liberal; we gave Loaimer whatever it is we have.
The entire stock of slippers in the hospital failed to pro
duce a pair large enough to fit ‘Slimn Daniels*
We appreciate the Med.Dept, wicrj' these <D.jrs tiun we hav^.
for some time* They sur-j deli^i the OoctcxAny germ that would
attempt to attack us now wpuld be knocked coo-coo before he
could get his bayonet fixed.
Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are: your
temperature's up again*
We have to cut this short; every time we get both arms out
from under the covers at once the long, slim, good-looking nurse
oomes along and tucks us in again.
