Any tean wa nting to start the ball rolling sh ould play then first. ^FC John H. Sweeney has proved himself a poet of note. Since he's been on the field, he's written a number of poems and some have made the Asr-OuUech. Our boys may not realize it, but there is going to be a tidy am ount of grass-cutting this summer. It's hidden right now, but the sho ots- are Just waiting for a good ro- in to spring up to cutting proport ions. The sniadron's population was Increased this past week by the ar^ rival of some new men—all sporting that famous Florida tan. They seam to be straining at the bit and want to start school as soon as possible. By FFC B.L.

If aiv yone knows the whereabouts of these lads, kindly notify Hugo, He says tha*. he has created a gigantic new rack in his castle on delancey. He is quite willing to take anyone there if he should de sire to have his feet changed from size U's tofi's.

Breltwieh ^ # Considerable interest was arou sed this week when the squadron Sweetheart was selected. Miss Mary Ann Stevens, girlfriend of pfe Ju 1 luis Lightman, was the winning cand idate. The contest developed in a duel between Miss Stevens, backed by Permanent Party man, and another contestant backed by students fron Roserrar.s Field. Appropriate awards are being made to both' Pfc. Light- man and his winning candidate. The prise winning dumb stunt o:’ the week was pulled by Sgt. Donald A. Dowse. Sgt, Dowse, who is the Squadron housing clerk, recently ariT.cuneed that he had housed 40 men in Building I2P4. A little later Sgt« Dowse learned, much to Itls ch agrin, that 1224 is a latrine. Pfc Henaan J7einer of Brooklyn, H.Y. celebrated his 24th birthday recently in real style. His mother Urs. A. ^Teiner, made arrangement with the Goldsboro U50 to have a huge three layer birthday cake de - livered to Reriian on the date of his birthday. Hrs. Walnar should ba complimented for originating this very swell idea. It isn't necessary to hold a contest tc find the champion "chow hound" of the 795th. Pvt. T/iniaB J. Rilvington has hald that title ever since he arrived on this field. At tha rate he is going, no one is likely to give him ezy close compe tition for quite some time to cone. Apparently Pfc Howard R. Craw ford lies the atmosphere In the newly equipp)ed Deyroom. Almost any night of the week he can be found lounging in one of the big upholst ered chairs and reading or listen ing to the radio. loeidently the Paratrooper who was seen roaming sroxmd the field was the younger brother of pfc Crawford* 797’" PFC BERHARD W.

Tough luok befell Ffo Ott Con nors recently when his wife one don to visit her soldler-hxisband and took ill the dy after she arr ived it th an appendectosy. Connors rushed her to tha hospital where she is now recuperating after the siege. Jimpin' Jive was the main eo - urse the other day at dinner at Mess Hall when the fellows downed a perfectly good GI meal to the rhye thJK of 4 bocgle-woogie beaters from Band Squadron. ?e don't know exactly whom to thank but dinner music has it's points. Let's have some more of it. Redding Anniversaries are alw ays good for a little oelebratloo and so the boys of Barracks 406 are looking forward to the not-so-far off day when Pfo Rllllam "Dad" lie Neill celebrates his 20th year of matrimooy with the Missus. Sgt. Tony Ardulno reoeived a letter of thanks . fron Pvt* l*orton Krebs fer the fine Job he did on the arrangements of Krebs' hit,"The Song of the Ground Crew," Krebs Is now stationed at Booa Chioo, Florida. Pfc Arthur Sehimoel is still getting compliments from tha Dental officers up at the hospital for his unequalled record in getting men up there on time for the ordeal.Knowing the orgies of dentistry, Sehianel's batting a'.»er8ge of l.OCO for past 0 months is somthlng Just short of a miracle. And now that sussaer is here. Barracks 409 has blossomed out with a rock garden under the watchful e^ of Pfo llarh Libas who has all the instinotr of a famer with '.he heart of a ?l6W Yorker. (SUITOR'S NOTC) Bercmril Maxwell,Scr ibe of this soluan has finished his school here aod is moving to places unknown. The Alr-O-Meoh extends Itfs many thanks for the swell Job done.

Ahyhoo, I reaent the Implioatiooa tnrown at me by ay barraeka aatea. A few ni^ts ago Pvt. HiUlam McCready. in our barracks, awoke during the nl^t sereaalng “Air Ra- idll". ite fimUy oooX^ hla domi sufficiently to sxplain that teat he mistook fer a (dving 2^ro waa only Pvt.

That boy really puts his heart ao- ul and vocal cords into his snoilni^ He staits out with a all^t teeeas and ends up in a rasping cresoendD that causes the wind^s to rattle. The only way we can get to A- eep is to get to bed before he sta rts hia sluabaring ssrahads— But , here's the nib-^uffy usually ratl- rea around 9 FM, ao, what to do? Tbugh breik about S/Sgt.

Our ?-40 isn't going to end the war, you know. That was a pretty swell danoe ws had ^^aet weak and qidLte a turn out. It's highly gratilylng to see the teole squadron display such an interest in our affair. I know for a fact teat quite a few fellows vo luntarily broke dates and other ap pointments Just to atten! the dance and make it a sneoesa* Sgt. Bill Spencer V^ell, Cpl. Carl Uslvin has a new nleknams, now. "Diagilea" is the name, fellowe, and it's on the lev el. If you ask him to show you a clipping he carrlea in his pocket about his promotion, you will read his name as Cpl. Carl "Dli^)lea'' ■»- Ivin. Believe aa—I saw it. Congratuiatione go out to all the boys la the squadron that made the recent list of aroaotiona. Eastertiae sure brought plenty of candles and hard boiled egga.
