WILL WE BE RAIDED?
Some believe that Camp Adair
Is next right after Dutch Harbor.
It may lie so. The Sentry does not
look for such a thing to happen—
not yet.
But we are vulnerable. There
isn’t enough of military value here
yet to attract our vulture. But we
can’t be sure. He may come over
here on his way somewhere else
and just kick out a sock full of
custard to try to smear up our
morale.
Chief Shirk of the camp
partment is looking toward such
an eventuality. He has, in addition
to his own force, volunteer firemen
throughout cm nip. This larger force
is green at fire-fighting now, but
Chief Shirk plans to give them
some help so that they will be
l< aiiers in case of trouble.
The worst thing about we Amer­
icans is the over-confidence that
“it can’t happen here." That’s
probably a liald lie.
Olli LINE OF
COMMUNICATIONS WORKS
Igist week we published in this
column an editorial which came to
us out of the air—without an au­
thor. It was good, we thought, and
we said so in a note with the piece.
It was patriotic and we like things
patriotic.
Now our line of communications
brings us the information we
lacked last week, namely, the au­
thor of the piece.
He’s a man employed on the job
here He’s a time-keeper for Four
Builders. He hasn’t been u time­
keeper all his life. He has a wide
education, has legal experience,
long business experience, during
much of which he travelled for
one of the big movie producers.
We’ll wager he’s a good time-keep-
er.
He’s Hal Vaughn, has a wife and
daughter and besides being an
excellent editorial writer-he’s a
regular guy. Thanks, Mr. Vaughn,
ami may the same spirit irispirv
you again and frequently.

Many workers have asked The
Sentry about the various bus lines

are unanswerable because the bus

knowledge of just what is needed.

// You're Hitching
Ride Home, It's Best
To Have Map Handy
Two privates stationed at Scott
Field. III., still speak in whispers
about a recent close call in St.
Louis. After visiting in the city,
the pair was without funds, for all
practical purposes, so they pro-
ceeded to the St. Louis USO head-
quarters in the hope of catching a
ride back to Scott Field.
Sure enough, before long a host­
ess was calling for all soldiers who
had come by convoy from Scott
Field. She told them to meet at
the information desk. The two pri­
vates, figuring this was a sure
way hack, slipped into the group.
A corporal herded them all out to
a pair of waiting trucks. As they
passed through the streets, the two
privates thought this was a strange
route back to camp—and they were
certain something was wrong when
the convoy ended up at the St.
Louis Union station.
"Say. buddy,” one of them asked
the corporal. "Aren’t we going to
Scott Field?" The corporal an-
swered. “Naw, we’re headed for a
troop train."
With visions of a quick trip to
Australia or some such locale the
pair all but bowled over the non­
com as they leaped from the truck
to renew their search for a more
direct route to camp!
