Vanished" Is Another
Word Beginning With 'V'
Lucky Soldier Finds
The soldier learns fast in Uncle
Sam’s army. Private Wayne Rip­
ley, of Camp Blanding, Fla., found
that out recently. He had scarcely
learned his way about the camp
before he received a luscious home­
made cake, complete with creamy
frosting topped with a V-for-Vic-
tory designed in red cherries.
Unselfish Private Ripley was
happy to share his cake with a few
of his buddies, so he invited half
a dozen. The paper and string had
hardly been laid aside, however, be­
fore 12 additional “guests” ap­
peared.
In something like 30 seconds
the new soldier had learned that
V stands not only for “Victory,”
but also for “Vanished”!
Bedtime Story Shows
Either Fox or Dodo
Rifle Rack Takes Up
Slack on Dark Night
Army life can become compli­
cated at times, particularly around
bedtime. Private First Class Bill
Mayfield, of Fort Devens, Mass.,
for instance, undressed and jumped
into bed one Saturday night—only
to find that his cot had been com­
pletely taken apart, then reassem­
bled and tied together with weak
string.
His buddies wouldn’t for the
world have missed the expression
on his pan as tired-out Mayfield
plopped to the floor amid a con­
fusion of bed-ends, mattress and
spring!
Or take the recent experience of
Private Bill Clapper, of Camp Pen­
dleton, Va. As he walked into his
barracks, he carefully recalled that
all beds had been removed from
the middle aisle of the sleeping
hall. It was pitch dark, but he
knew his way, and had no fear of
bumping into anything so long as
he stayed in the big, clear center
aisle.
Merrily he sauntered down be­
tween the rows of beds. Suddenly
a terrific crash. His buddies woke
with a start, jumped out of bed
and switched on the lights. Private
Clapper had forgotten only one
thing—there he lay, on the floor,
flat on his back after somersault­
ing the rifle rack.
Football Tactics in

There is one soldier at Fort
Wadsworth, N. Y., who has found
it easiest to learn things the hard
way. Last week his corporal gave
this particular soldier a detailed
lesson in the proper method of
making beds.
Maybe he’s just playing foxy,
but he still doesn’t seem to have
