We welcome to our company 1st Lieutenant Albert E. Amundsen, M. C., and we wish to assure him of our hearty co-operation in his work here. Lt. Amundsen comes here from Camp Wadsworth. To the newly assigned men of our company: We extend you a hearty welcome. We like the interest which you are taking in your work, and our work. We like the good spirit you are dis playing, and we are here to help you to the best of our knowledge. And we wish to say that if all of the new men who join our ranks show the same spirit of helpfulnessi that you have, we shall consider ourselves very lucky. (Signed), All The Boys. If anyone has any doubt as to the sincerity of the boys in our little fam ily (Ambulance No. 429), just take notes as you pass along the road. Mechanic Heth A. Haskill, better known as “Little Davie” has been re- ing some fine work on the Ambu lances. They are all running in goon shape now. Private Dominik is now getting all he wants to eat. Eh, Jerry? Sergeant Hinkle has been very ill for the past few days. He says the heat wa® too much for him, but we think that a pretty girl figures in the case. “Private David Williams, better known as “Little Davis” has been re lieved as Orderly and can be seen at any time balancing’ on the end of a shovel. He says “It ’elps me hapo- tite.” Private 1st Cl. Bien is now Acting Supply Sergeant. Go to it, old boy. We hope you make good. Sergeant Daly seems to be the only one who can keep in step. Sergeant Scanlan, Mechanic Has kill, Privates Fischer, Wolfgram, Large and Ochsenbeecker went out af ter frogs Tuesday eve. They returned with seven half-grown frogs and a lot of wet clothes. It is up to Sgt. Hinkle and “Davie” William® to gain a little flesh. Private Boyd is confined at the Base Hospital. It is hard to find news for this issue —Pay day is too near. The new range in the mess-hall cer tainly should make it possible for Mess. Sgt. Hanen to furnish plenty of “chow.” Private Edward W. Hancock, from the Base Hospital, has joined our happy family. Sergeant 1st Class T. M. Whitfield, Sergeant Braun and Pvt. Be rnabei, are thinking seriously of taking over the War Risk Insurance Bureau and running it to suit themselves. “Jakie” Goldberg, our Articifer, has lest six of his perfectly good molars in the last week. Too much sweet- The stirring motto of the Thir- ty-First Dixie Division, from which comes the second battadon =:;= of the 122nd Infantry, now sta- =;S: tion'ed at Camp Greene, is “It ;;;; Shall Be Done.” Major Wade H. Leahy, in charge of the battalion and who >:;= expects every man to be “on the job,” is very proud of his com- maud. He admits it himself and also has the following to say of his Camp Greene snrroundings: =;; “The officers of this crack bat- talion are highly pleased with Charlotte and are especially grat is ified at the social attention shown w them here.” ness, we a’ e thinking. A veiy interesting debate was heard on Wednesday morning. Ques tion, “Are the rear wheels of a Ford smaller than the front ones?” Affirma tive, Private Fischer. Negative Sgt. Scanlan. The debate was interesting and was a draw. Anyway, they didn’t have a Ford handy to prove which was right, was right. “Tootsie,”—Be careful and don’t eat so much the next time. We were just getting ready to sing, “Oh where, oh where has our Supply Sergeant gone?” Private Bedard was called to his home in San Francisco this week on account of the serious illness of his wife. Goldberg,—telling of one of the pa tients while he was'on duty as Ambu lance Orderly,—“Just like that—Even the Doctor was afraid of him.” Hot weatjier or not,—we are drilling just the same. One thing we need,—a Company Barber. Sergeant Scanlan entertained at “tea” last Sunday evening. Those present reported a most lenjoyable time. CHORUS OF DELIGHT From the opening “Chorus of De light” to the closing anthem, “Last But Not Least,” the widely varied vaudeville entertainment given by the soldiers of Base Hospital No. 92 at y. M. C. A. No. 105, on Wednesday evening was a grand success. No act WTS attempted in which the men were not prepared to put a big hit over. There were more than 200 soldiers present to cheer in peppery fashion the song and dramatic numbers. The program follows: “Chorus of Delight” The Boy.i Piano solo—Crying Melody Ed Haynes B'pck-Face Colnedy .. .. Roy Ewald Scotch Melodies .. William Sunpon Opera Singer . . .. XJmbert Biasin Monologue Sergeant Whipple. “To Break the Monotony” .. Chorus Brays Contortionist . . .. B. F. Duke Raetime Eye Opener .. Sergt. Weill Reading Edward’ Stern Tumbling Act .... .. .7. J. Brunton “Last But Not Least” Chorus WEEK-END VISIT. Second Lieutenant E. M. Crawford, quartermaster of Base Hospital No. 92, spent the week-end with friends in Rook Hill. FAMILIAR TO Q. M. C. Sgt. Andrews, of the Finance Divi sion, has new-born incentive now that he is considered as a probable candi date for Chief Clerk after Sgt. Rodg ers leaves for Jacksonville. PRETTIEST GIRLS. Sgt. Harry Coplan believes that New Berne, N .C., has the prettiest girls in the South, but he has to take his hat off to the girls of Boston, Mass. How about it Burroughs Sgt. Burns agrees. Sgt. Marcus doesn’t wi.sh Sgt. Par mer of Finance any bad luck, but does hope that he will be sent to Jackson ville soon. Then Sgt. Marcus may be the “Travel Pay” vendor. POLICING UP. A goodly part of the time of the men of Base Hospital No. 92 is taken up with policing up the camp in the re gion of their new quarters. The grounds are being cleaned and made sanitary. Abandoned tent spaces are being prepared for rehabitation. A part of the enlisted personnel have been detailed to the U. S. Army base hospital. Camp Greene, for r”"’''-- tical work in the offices and wards. THAT DRAFT. Owing to the air current that passes through the Forage and Fuel office, one of our prominent civil service em ployees is suffe-ing from the results of the draft, but he is going to wear a heavier suit of clothes from now on (olive drab) and with plenty of hiking and drilling his rugged constitution will make him immune to drafts in the future, “Halt, who is that?” “Pri vate Brady.” A call by the Forage and Fhel Di vision will mean a good cigar to any one provided they see Stenior Grade Private Sieker. His father is a cigar manufacturer and he always has an unlimited supply. He hands them out ^ generously. Private Pete Brownstein, Forage and Fuel Division, should have been a camouflage painter. The best avions in the world could not discover his desic for the ink spots. Even the grooves in his pen - ack, t’^.ose horrible trench-, es, a"c spattered w'ith ink splashes.
