Br_|^ THE CADUCEUS OFFICERS’ PAGE BY CAPTAINS CHARLES C. CANDLER AND HARRY L. BABCOCK HIGHEST PRAISE OREGON'MEN ARE WARM FOR CHARLOTTE KINDNESS JfHAT the Oregon men of the Forty-first - division think of the kindness ac corded the western sol diers is set out by Cap tain James K. Stockard, M. C., of the American Expeditionary Forces, who was formerly medical supply officer at the Base Hospital, Camp Greene and who writes back from Centres, France, where he has been for the past month with the Forty-first division. The letter, which was addressed to Capt. Darling, S. C., with the request that it be submitted to The Caducous, follows: “We arrived safely in France on the 26th of November. We caane through England and saw many interesting things. I visited some of the camps and hospitals but will have to defer my impressions until , a later date when I have more time and freedom. “France is beautiful and interesting in many ways, but at least a hundred years behind the tiihes in some of the most important and essential things of life. We spent twenty-four hours in Paris while enroute to this place. We had our Thanksgiving dinner there, but since I can say nothing in praise of that dinner, i will , gladly pass the subject for future discussion. “Am doing sanitary work with the Forty-first division. This division has it’s headquarters about a hundred miles southwest of Paris and covers in it’s scope of action a wide range of country. “I am living with a bunch of officers from Oregon, who were trained at Camp Greene in October and Novem ber of 1917. They speak constantly in the highest terms of praise of the place and of the Charlotte community. They declare that they have neither seen nor enjoyed anything so nice nor so good since they left Camp Greene. Of course this made me feel good.” With best wishes. Captain James K. Stockard, A. E. F., Prance. RETURN FROM LEAVE Although very little information can be gained from Capt. Hayes, Capt. Ives or Lieut. Dew regarding their recent leaves it is believed that they had a most enjoyable time, while visit ing their former haunts. LEAVES FOR HOME Lieut. John Kraetzer, of the medical staff, received his discharge from the service of Uncle Sam on Tuesday and has returned to his home in New York City. HEATING PLANT READY Soon, even the upper guest rooms of the hospital Red Cross building will be as warm and as cozy as is the main hall, before the fireplaces, for the new heating system is virtually completed. Plumbers and carpenters have been busy for several weeks in establishing a furnace room below the south side of theb uilding, two large “hot air” heaters having been installed and pipes laid to the various rooms. It is expected that by to-morrow everything will be in first rate running order and except on extremely cold evenings therew ill be but little use for the massive fireplaces that have formed such an attraction for the visitors at the home. Extract from a letter from a boy to his mother— ' I am writing in the Y. M. C. A. with the piano playing in my uniform.” A drink of good old wet water beats all manufactured stuff, if you are really thirsty. TRANSFERRED TO PITTSBURG Lieut. William E. Munson formerly receiving officer of the hospital and recently transferred to Camp Crane at Allentown, Penn., has been again transferred and is now connected with Gen. Hospital No. 24 at Parkview sta tion, Pittsburg, Pa., where he is en gaged in sanitary work. CD CAN’T BE BEAT QUIET DINNER AT RED CROSS A TREAT Quiet and unannounced, indeed, was the party of the personnel of the den tal clinic at the Red Cross building on Friday evening. It was simply a con genial gathering and not in honor of any particular individual or in com memoration of some unusual event, as might have been supposed. Due to the supervision of Miss Schimmelman, A. N. C.,and Miss Has kins, student nufse, the affair was a great success. Sgt. 1st class C. O. V. Johnson acted as purchaser and se cured the supplies which were pre pared lor the table by the ladies. ‘ The'invited guasts: Lieutenant Cfir- tis. Lieutenant Cowles, Sgt. Johnson, Sgt. Duplessia, Pvt. Lampman, Pvt. Schaffer and Pvt. Ezeol appeared early on the scene to assist as .best' they might. The dinner consisting of raw oysters, broiled steak, mashed pota toes, green peas, fruit salad, biscuits and coffee, was served at 6:30 o’clock. The gentlemen of the party consider themselves greatly indebted to Miss Schimmelman for the salad and to Miss Haskins for the delicious bis cuits. SAY OFFICERS OF CHAMPION PIE MAKER Severino is a cook. At Pies he excells. He is rewarded. Is he proud? Ask him. Such is the tale of “Patsey” Sev erino, cook of the officer’s mess, who was honored by his diners last Sun day. Many a fine meal has been spoiled by a poorly prepared dessert, assert the members of that mess and in ac- • eordance with their appreciation of Severino’s^ lemon meringue pies de cided to reward him. With great pomp and ceremony Major Shealf, as sistant to the commanding officer or dered the cook’s presence in the dining hall, somewhat bewildered, he entered. Wonderingly, he received the compli-- mentary addresses of Major Sheaff, Capt. Ives and Chaplin Rowland. A shining object was held towards him, and reading he saw “Champion Lemon Pie Maker, U. S. Army, 1919,” He was presented with it amidst the ap plause of the assemblage and discov ered suspended from the beautiful red, white and ^Ine ribbon, with the legend stamped upon it a well known, IDEN TIFICATION TAG.
