WASHINGTON' The Armv is
, goine to let people help choose that
.official Army song it's been hank
; erint; for. It heqan looking for a
1 song of its own a year ago. It
'sought a song indicative of the
whole Army a song the soldier
! ran call his own as the Navy claims
("Anchors Aweigh," the Air Force
"The Wild Rlue Yonder" and the
Marines "From the Halls of Mont
ezuma." It came up with five winners,
selected from 1.050 entries in a con
test open lo civilians and service
personnel alike. Hut none of these
winning songs has been designated
as an official Army song yet. Maj.
Gen. Kussel H. Reynolds, chief of
I the Army's Special Services, has
said that subsequent adoption of
any song as "The Army Song,"
regardless of whether it was en
tered in the contest, depends on
popular approval.
"Only time will tell whether
popular acclaim selects one of the
contest winners for official desig
nation," he said after the win
ners were selected by nine nation
ally known musicians on the basis
of originality, melodic and rhyth
mic appeal, fitness of words and
overall aiilahility of the song for
general Army use.
"If one of thee tunes proves a
big tiil. after Army personnel and
'the civilian public become familiar
i with them on live radio shows, re-
cording-- and elsewhere during
1949. that song may be selected as
an official Army song. If not, the
! field will he wide open for song
writers and composers."
I The campaign to attune the pub
'. lie car lo these songs is about to
begin. Hi rordings of the contest
'winner . runa and played by the
: L.S. Army Hand at Fort Meyers,
Va.. are In ing produced. The songs
I themselves are being published in
an Army Kit of Contest Songs for
soldier singing. Hand arrangements
land orchestrations 'for 15-piece
(hi nre bands are being prepared for
Army use. Radio musical shows
are being lined up to plug the
songs.
Soon you'll be hearing every
where "Men of the Army," "It's
the Army," "March Along," "Three
Cheers for the Army," and "We're
the Army. U.S.A." "Men of the
Army" by Frank Ryerson of We
nonah. N.J., and Vaughn Monroe,
orchestra leader, was winner of the
first prize, a $1,000 U.S. Savings
Bond. "It's the Army," by Thomas
.1. Filas of Chicago, won the $500
savings bond second prize, and
"March Along," by Jimmy High
smith of New York, won the $100
savings bond third prize.
Grasshoppers Emulate
Cows in Appetite
LINCOLN. Neb. (UP) Some
Nebraska farmers have the equiv
alent of a cow eating in every three
acres of their corn and may not
know it.
Dr. Ephraim Hixson. University
of Nebraska entomologist, said
about 68.000 grasshoppers the
amount contained in. less than
three acres of some farm land in
the state consume 45 pounds of
forage in a 24-hour period. Thai is
the amount eaten by a hungry cow,
he said.
Hul one consolation, the ento
mologist noled, is that 'hoppers
only eat when the temperature is
72-H0 degrees. A cow chews nearly
all day every day, he said.
