To insistent inquiries about a
second front Lt. Col. Harold Hin
ton, public relations man for the
Army’s European, theatre, repeats
this story:
A beautiful young girl dreamed
that a sinister but handsome dark
haired man appeared at her bed
side. Before she could protest,
he yanked her from the satin cov
ers and carried her away to a
luxurious limousine waiting at the
door. Hurling her into the back
seat, he drove swiftly into the
country, drawing up at last in a
secluded, moon-flooded lane. The
man turned and stared menacing
ly at the beautiful girl. “What are
you going to do now?” she asked
quivering. “How should I know?”
he retorted. “It’s your dream.”
A private in the Army Air Corp
recently was astonished to receive
the following letter from his moth
er, who obviously is unfamiliar
with military life:
“Dear Son:
“I was glad to hear that you
have been “having K. P.” lately!
You always were the greatest boy
for cooking little snacks between
meals and especially late at night.
But then you were real good about
tidying up afterwards. So I
guess there isn’t another boy in
the Army who will get more plea
sure out of those Kitchen Privil
eges. But be sure to leave no
dirty dishes around for the cook
to have to wash.”

Dopey Dan staggered into the
local Juke Joint with a wild glare
in his eyes — Dopey was in a
jitter after reading about the Geor
gia-Auburn upset, and the unld
affair over at Duke Stadium. “Roll
out the barrels” roared Dopey “Set
’em up, I’ll take Georgia over
Georgia . . let’s leave the Tech out
of the ivhole affair . . and I’ll end
the season with picking Duke over
Florida Naval Training” . . Dopey
wobbled into a booth and. passed
out.

Former High School Footballers
here in town, didn’t get to the
fifty yard line with their efforts to
line up a game with the present
Yellow Jackets. The idea origin
ated with some of the former
stars, with the idea in mind to
present the gross gate to the 1942
Jackets so they could have a
“Feed” or buy football monograms.
It probably oould have been work
ed up into a good drawing card,
and we can say here and now, that
the former stars were really will
ing to sacrifice something — none
of them are in shape, and it would
be impossible to get in shape with
in a week’s time. Anyway the
boys showed a willing spirit. Long
live the Spirit!
Pickups ’n Putouts:
If the Alumni-Jax game had
been carded . . the former stars
would have presented a flea weight
backfield in Chet Allsbrook and
“Chippy” Simms at halves, “Lefty”
Everett at quarter, and Jerry
Brown at full . . anyway maybe a
good basketball game can be ar
ranged . . Jimmy Hudson, former
Romanco third sacker in town on
leave . . so’s George Sullivan
former High School athlete . .
so’s Randall White, former High
star . . Zeke Webster who used to
hold down a great Tackle position
on Jax teams . . and who was on
the U. S. S. Boise . . Yeah! they
got six Jap ships in twelve min
utes, has landed in Philly . . and
it is rumored will be home within
a few days.
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Barrett were
visitors in Richmond last Wednes
day.
