What handed ua a hearty lau^
the other day was reading about the
Jeep i«ho eaa arrested by )(•?•*& in
Washington for wearing a (believe
ib or not) soot^suited unifoni.
With peg-legged effects on his
O.I. trousers, purple socks plainly
showing, hie regulation blouse al
most reaching his knees, and a
lengthy watch chain dangling below
his blouse, the puszled U.P.*s
thought the guy was nuts, and act
ed accordingly.
As yet,it hasn't been our mis
fortune to see anything similar on
this post, but we have seen Jeeps
parading around with insi^iia they
weren't entitled to wear, namely
wings in their caps and blouses*
We've also seen eoldiers wea^r
ing non-regulation socks, probably
those sent thea by Aunt Vary for
Christoas, and whldi the G.I.'s did
not know what to do with, except
wear*
This is the Amy, bubs, and
the Army for good '^eaegr*, has pres
cribed certain types of unifom for
wear on the part of all personnel.

Now that spring is definitely
hero (at least » H
pleasant Sunday on which this is
bains writtsn), our thou(#its are
taken up with the knowledge that
Ssjnour Johnson Field will soon bs
decked out in greenery.

arrived here back in the sultry days
of August, to find what we thought,
at tto time, to be a North Carolina
version of Devil* s Island*
Now that tho field ia cons
tructed (Thank GodO» &rid civilian
construction workers are either off
to new Jobs or drafted themselves,
aM with spring in the air (this is
still Sunday for us). Isn't it a-
bout time that all of us, enlisted
men, nurses, and officers go out of
our way to keep Seymour Johnson
Field as neat a place as possible.
What we tfiould like to see Is
that trash ia thrown in proper re
ceptacles and not in the gutters)
that cigarette butte are properly
disposed of in G*l* fashion*
True, there sre JUw recepUcles
around the post,but with the ingen-
uii of the supply sergeants in our

sible that G.I. cans will sprout vp

One of the ;;roat mistakes uniiv
formed peoijle rmke is that eoncem-
ins; a soldisr's attitude toward re
ligion. There Is a mistoken ia-

One of the ;roat thines about
our Army la that it haa fostared r—
Union and has halpod ahow many mon
tho worthwhileneea of a relijioua
attitude in life. "hiory chaplain
knows that hundred of mon coma to
oermlcBB at the chapel who aeldoia,
if oTcr, froquentad a church of ayn-
anocua in civilian life, ’.^an those
nan will leave the Army after the
war bne of tho groat aoina that
they will take bock with thorn upon
return to civilian life will bo a
new and understandinc approach to
religion.
Logically, this is not surpris
ing. A good army of necessity is
made up of »aen with a religious at
titude toward llfo. A good army is
nado up of men who realise that a
time o'* crisis is a time for taking
extra care In observing the great
principles of religious teaching.
Ultimate victory is given to those
who show by their way of living that
they are deserving of victory.
This week's March of RhyM was com
posed after Pvt. 7/elnberg spent sev
eral days in the Seymour Johnson
Field hospital eonvalesoiag.
Ve dedicate our poem today; present
it from the heart.
To unsung heroes on this field, who
play a leading part.
To all doctors on the field,to nur
ses, and to aides.
Who lead us back to"Roads of Health^
and see that Illness fades.
To all ths medioos sdio strive tc
keep our soldiers strong.
And cure us of our slightest ills,
our deepest thanks belong.
Believe me, they know their stuff,
you can be well assured.
They'll diagnose your failings
right,and see you're quickly cured.
They have the best at their com
mand, in brains, in skill, in tact.
They watch your progress, patiently,
to see how you react,
just like a mother eyes her brood,
and hides them from alarm.
Your Art^y Doctor keeps you fit, and
aver free from harm.
The Army Nurse goes through • lot,
especially for 'fora.
She well d eserves your high esteam,
and her lieutenant bars.
She's loyal to the vows she made,
she works in sun and hail,
A loving angel dressed in vdilte, a
modern Nightingale.
And to the orderlies and aides,^io
aid us in a mess,
7e give our thonks for all their
help, to help us convalesce.
To each of them wo now present, boi^
quets of sarest blooms.
For guidance on our road to health,
for warding off our glooms.
To all you doctors, nuraos, aides,
we sing these praises loud,
Bach day you -men an -ailing frame,
of that you can be proud.
Please take our compliments to heart
it's forward and direct.
You are all angels "heaven sent,"
you all have our respect.
