It is a War bond—plus a handsome Treas ury certificate bordered with Walt Disney’s animals and dwarfs in full color. At the top of the certificate—which is 8 by 10 inches and suitable for framing—are the Seven Dwarfs, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Doc, Sneezy, Grumpy and Dopey. The certificate will bear the name of the child and the date of purchase. The station War Bond officer will have a supply of these certificates during the Pearl Harbor Day campaign, 1 to 7 December, and prior to Christmas. They will be available to uniformed and civilian personnel for the asking upon the purchase of a War bond made out in the name of a child. ***** From a long line of Navy men comes Cadet Franklin Donahue, 59-J-l.

He has my files so mixed up that I can’t get along without him.” ***** Don’t get near the fan with your wig on, grandma. You’re too old to be blowing your top. ***** The neighbor of a man, noted for his ex treme thrift, saw him one week day in his Sunday best: “What’s up, Jim?” he asked. “Why the glad rags?” “Haven’t you heard the news?” “News! What news?” “Triplets!” “Oh, so that accounts for . . began the neighbor. “Yes, that accounts for my wearing those clothes. W'hat the hell’s the use of trying to be economical?” * * * * I like the football season. It’s the only time of the year when you can walk down the street with a blanket on one arm, a girl on the other without having people ask so many dog-gone questions! * ^ Sweater girls make excellent school teach ers. They outline things so clearly. A list of names was recently posted on the bulletin board at an Army camp, and was accompanied by these terse instructions: “The following enlisted men will pick up their good conduct medals at the supply room this after noon. Failure to comply with this order will result in disciplinary action.” % ^ % Then there are the sailors who ran away to join a nudist colony and were charged “ab- -sent without leaves.” ^ A former tobacco auctioneer reported on board the other day with the rate of LS/MFT/lc. ***** She: I prayed for you last night. GOB: Next time telephone. ^ 4^ Briton (to American on ocean voyage):; “You’re a magician? What is your specialty?” American; “I make things disappear.” (Just then a torpedo struck the ship, and the two voyagers found themselves clinging to a bit of wreckage.) Briton: “And I suppose you think that’s funny.” ^ * Number 1 on the wolf parade: “I’ll Be Seizing You, in All the Old Familiar Places.” Consumer (to head waiter): “Just as a matter of curiosity, did the waiter who took I my order leave any family?” Pre-Flight Varsity Soccer Squad MEMBERS OF THE PRE-FLIGHT SOCCER team, composed largely of French cadets> are shown above with Lt.
