VrfUMi MiBA Simulated Bombing of Gty Slated for Public Display Denied fireworks for the duration of the war, capital city residents are promised "a more spectacular show than the cus-4 tomary Fourth of July pyrotechnics on the afternoon of Saturday, October 17, when the army civilian defense school stages its - - - ' - - ' I bomb and fire protection demon i Out of the Woods They werealready gone far from what they 'used to be, and now with, the war. puttin ladies in the woods,' as I hear from some parts, the whistle punk is a vanishin race, said Old Lar riCy thebullcook. Irnane the . whistle punk as I knowed him in the full splendor of his fettle, whin high-lead loggin was ;in ; its - prime. Whin whistle ' punks 'began to go as dellygets to thira Congresses in Washin'ton, the end was in sight Now;"wit', wimmin at their Jobs, the end is here. The work of whistle ptmkin itself was niver so tough. It, was but staridin aU day in a spot and keepin' a eye peeled for-hook tender or riggin slinger and pas sin on, wit' jerkwire or electric tootsies, Ihe signals to the yard er engineer-ionce, . twice, or in combination of "toots, as the sig nal happened' to be. "But the true whistle punk made great glory of himself at his work, partlckerly when he was often : It re known , thim ia their heyday so tough they would even scorn to read the Police Gazette, ana to hear thim talk you'd suspect they liked nawthin so much to eat as a kef of track bolts soaked - In coal oil, wood alcohol and '' snuff. :!- " "You could always tell a whis .' tie punk's cap, even when he was from under it for the bill would be wore slick from bein' pulled down over wan eye and wan " ear. Like-wise you could tell true whistle punk by heat-in wit' out seem' him, for in common conversation he would out-curse - an Irishman speakin' o the king - of England. And whin he'd spit the resultin. effect was what I ; wance heard a forestry professor . In camp call a 'cosmic disturb ; ance.' - ,.r "I've heard a whistle punk , of but 17 years call a rugged camp " push, 'boy and get away wit it All of the Tace was powerful - hard to hold down when stove loggin was on in the bunkhousel , Whin he was let to talk, the thrue - whistle punk commonly had but wan text. It was always how he told the hook tender to go chase himself; or the""' timekeeper where to head taj'or how he Inhaled a qaartof redeye . at,, wan sittin'; whkn b to say that the text would always be the wonderful deeds and amazln' advrntores of -the whistle punk himself. "f. V "The true whistle punk was niver satisfied with simple snoose. He would first prime his lower lip with snuff, and thin wad in plug tobaccy. On Sundays he'd smoke ; a cigaret at the same time, blow ing smoke from nose and mouth to wance, and tryin to blow it also from his ears. His liver had the longest and the sharpest corks of any in camp. When he oetagged his pants it was good four inches highef than any 'others were slicker ag'in the rain, the whls- tie punk painted it red. " . "Yet I saw but one punk -come to grief, and he had the-owdashus termrty to ask a proud camp cook by the name of Swanson why it was Danes was so much smarter ' than the Swedes. Swanson hailed ' from Stockholm. The chef , trun the punk in a tub of bread dough and would have baked him but for a .tender-hearted timekeeper puttin in. his oar. . Cboeltt bars were the weak- ? ness of even thrue whistle punk.
