Leonard Eisereb, USNR Associate Editor: Orville Campbell, Y2c IVar Hot Yet Won Quoted from the BuPers Information Bulle tin, the following editorial is nothing less than emphatic in deflating the fancy that the war is won and soon to be over: “From the recent great victories of the Al lies, and from the increasing emphasis of post war planning, it might seem easy enough to conclude that for all practical purposes the war is over. However, without gainsaying the victories and without denying the planning, it is not only wrong but dangerous to believe that final victory is imminent. “The truth of the matter is simple: Victory will come at the moment the Germans and Japanese decide to surrender unconditionally —^but that has been true from the beginning, and from a military standpoint the end is not yet in sight. There will be long compaigns to plan, much hard work and many casualties before the victory is won. The triumphs of the moment are impressive and important, but not yet conclusive. We know from bitter, cost ly experience that the enemy is skillful, re sourceful and tenacious; until he actually lays down his arms we cannot say the war is over. “No, the war is not yet over, and wishing or misreading the signs will not make it so. The only way we can win is to get up steam and fight, and the closer victory comes the harder we must fight to bring it to us sooner.” ♦ * ♦ ♦ ♦ 2nd Lieut Leonard V. Wirkus, youngest brother of Warrant Officer Faustin E. Wirkus, USMC, who is attached to this station, was recently awarded the Air Medal by Bridg. Gen. E. M. Morris of the 12th Fighter Com mand. Last week Warrant Officer Wirkus re ceived a picture of the General pinning the Air Medal on his younger brother. A bum approached a prosperous-looking fel low on the street and asked for a half dollar for something to eat. “Tell you what I’ll do,” said the gentleman. “I’ll buy you a drink.” “No, I don’t drink,” persisted the down-and- outer. “Just give me 50 cents to get something to eat.” “Here, have a cigar,” offered the other. “All I want is a bite to eat,” pleaded the pan handler. “No cigar.” “Look,” offered the man with the dough. “I know some nice girls. I’ll phone and make a date and we can have some fun!” “Please, mister,” begged the bum. “All I want is half a buck to get something to eat.” “Okay,” the fellow finally said. “I’ll give you the 50 cents, if you’ll come home with me!” “Why should I go home with you?” asked the moocher. “Because I want to show my wife what hap pens to men who don’t drink, smoke or go out with women!” 9(t * * ^ 4c The reason they call a sailboat “she” is that she makes her best showing in the wind. * * * * * A schoolboy wrote more truly than he knew on a grammar examination: “The object of “he” is “she.” A team composed of Bluejackets was play ing a soccer game with a team composed of Marines. A sailor was outlining the principles of the contest. “If you can’t kick the ball,” he said, “kick one of the men on the other team- Now where’s the ball?” “Never mind the ball,” shouted a big Ma rine. “Let’s get on with the game.” ! ♦ ♦ * ♦ ♦ In the days of Queen Elizabeth, ’tis said» some of the ladies liked to curl up with a bool^) while others preferred simply to curl up with one of the pages. * ♦ ♦ ♦ * There’s on old saying that Heaven will pro tect the working girl—^but then there’s the question as to who protects the poor guy she’® working.
