'e soldiers are enjoying what ' hn a few "last" Ames. There Id Way of telling just how long foill remain here, and I would be able to tell you if we had lived orders to depart for Kiier" fields, but the fact re- ks that , we have completed a and a half of intensive trains ing and if orders come, we are ready. A number of USO sponsored shows have been put on "at the post here. The last one of these was the musical comedy Broadway success "Thumbs Up" and another was "Junior Miss." Both were put on by sponsored actors and actress es and were really good perform ances well worth seeing. All such shows are free to soldiers in uni form, and it is only a question whether the auditorium will hold all the soldiers who wish to see the shows. Fort Jackson is so large you know that certain sec tions are remote from others. For this reason, these shows are put on at various theaters located all over the post. It would be imprac tical for one of us to try to go to a show in area of another division unless we traveled by automobile, for from our area to remoter areas on the post the distance would be comparable to the dis tance between Waynesville and Junaluska. 2nd Lt. Clarence P. Kideout, of Company H has been promoted to 1st lieutenant. He is at school at Fort Benning, Ga., so the boys haven't had a chance to offer their congratulations. Hero's Son Safe This is recent portrait of three-year-old Arthur MacArthur, son of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, heroic defender of Bataan Peninsula in the Philippine Islands. Word has been received that both Mrs. Mac Arthur and little Arthur are safe in the PhilinDines. Sam Seller has been relieved of duty temporarily with Company H and is now helping in the sup ply section of regimental supply warehouse. Was interested in reading in one of the latest issues of Time Mag' azi'ne of Colonel Steel and his men on Bataan Peninsula, fighting un d?r General MacArthur. Colonel Steel is no stranger to the men of the 120th Infantry for he was in strumental in bringing up the standard of training of our boys last year. As umpire-adviser for most of the spring maneuvers last year with a keen sense of humor and a caustic tongue when the oc casion demanded it, he greatly aid ed in our training as a fighting force. Through several weeks of contact with the officers and men of the regiment, he made many friends who are pulling for him now that his maneuvers are no longer for "fun." In connection with this I would like to repeat a story which is only one of many which grew up from his associa tion with us. I told you about it last spring, but I suppose you have forgotten it. I hadn't been in the army very long and we were participating in one of the weekly spring maneuvers on the post Part of the duties of regimental clerks in the combat echelon of regimental headquarters is the keeping oi a journal, or war diary" minute by minute, hour by hour, throughout the period of ac tive service. All comings and goings of officers, etc. all messa ges and orders, etcu are kept posted on this diary, so for mat ters of record and comparison for later orders, etc., it is important. Colonel Steel came up to the head quarters command post and asked a rookie to see the journal. The rookie, thinking he meant "gener al" answered, "I'm sorry, sir, but I haven't seen him all day." Col onel Steel's laugh remains an un forgettable memery. Although he probably wouldn't remember me if he saw me. except possibly as a soldier he had seen before, when I came across his weatherbeaten face in the Time magazine photograph, Rambling Around (Continued from page 2) - - papermen whether or not St. Peter will exempt the falsehoods society editors tell, and let them enter the Pearly Gate, Ivt never read of any bride but what was beautiful and charming, and you know as well as I do, that some have been far from that, and every groom is a promising young man promising his bride every everything under the sun till she finds out better, eh? But woe be to the society editor, the editor and the newspaper that described any bride or groom in anything but the most flattering terms. . Life would not be worth a dime. As long as I can, I'm going to stay clear of society reporting checking it and writing some heads is enough, and here's hoping that even so little wont bf held against my record. Have you ever noticed what a difference the weather makes f Here it is a fine spring day, and I've just seen some people, pass who have been . doubled up all winter, and are now erect and I felt like I had come across the picture of an old friend. Fines Creek News Mrs. D. N. Rathbone. Due to the fact that Fines Creek school closed a week on account of the recent snow, it will not close until April 6th. The glee club which was organ ized under the direction of their music teacher, Miss Marguerite Clark, and students of Miss Pearl James teacher, will present a play. It's not unusual now to hear the echos of axes. Farmers have been giving double time in getting wood to burn tobacco beds, with the regular showers it's been impossi ble to get many burned, with wood prepared it will not take long to fix up the beds when the ground spry sure. IT'S SPRING, (next Saturday), Of all the war pictures, I have yet to recall seeing a single strand of barb wire. Perhaps both sides, in the event they are not using it, realize that one huge tank could lay it fiat in no time. And speaking of barb wire, some dealers are said to be entirely out, with no prospects for getting more until after the war. drys. Mrs. C. Z. Noland, better known as "Aunt Lura," has been sick for some time is improving. Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Sutton, of Newport News, are visiting their parents this week-end, Mr. and Mrs. Erven Sutton, of Waynesville, and Mr. and Mrs. V. B. Green, of Fines Creek. Green Clark, of Newport News, spent the week-end with his moth er, Mrs. Candas Clark. Baby Jessie Lee Sutton, small daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Jesse Sutton, is much improved of pneumonia. Mrs. Charlie Kirkpatrick, who had a severe attack of influenza, is a little better. Mrs. Walter Rathbone returned from Canton last week, where she spent a few days at the home of her sister-in-law Mrs. Roy Ray.
