and chariot races. The Brahmin
bulls and wild bucking horses will
offer daring cowboys plenty of
opportunity for winning cash
prizes, and in addition, there will
be many rodeo attractions. The
daily program starts at 10:30 a. m.
and the directors promise one of
the best shows ever staged in west­
ern Oregon.
No Military Secrets
Get Away From Fatty
“Serve in Silence.” “Keep Your
I.ip 7-ipped" and all the other war­
time mottoes designed to combat
loose talk mean something to Pri­
vate Fatty Gonda, of Cochran
Gield, Ga. The other day a visiting
captain observed Private Gonda at
work on an airplane motor. He
walked up and questioned the sol­
dier, asking him if he knew exactly
what makes an airplane run.
Private Gonda reckoned he did,
so the captain asked him for an
explanation.
“You see this little cover sir?”
Private Gonda began, “Well, that
is the gas tank cover, Now please
follow me to the back of the engine,
sir. See that hole there? That’s
th« exhaust stack. And confiden­
tially. sir, what goes on between
those two holes is a military
secret!”
'Rough Army' Cannot
Spoil Early Training
A new era in military politeness
apparently has been instituted at
Camp Berkeley, Tex. One up-and-
coming private, so the story goes,
was leading morning calisthenics
In a burst of conviviality came his
command:
“Arms forward, raise, please
fellows!” The only comment, off­
ered by an interested but dubious
sergeant: "He forgot to thank
them!”

and he also has had experience as
a construction engineer, and in his
opinion it is the logical road to
build. Not because of the wonder­
ful opportunity for the people of
that country to make a better liv­
ing. but because the road is just
inland from the coast far enough
to safeguard it .... and just far
enough east to make it the shortest
speediest route to build. Also
there is already some road built
through here which can be joined
up in conection with the road now
being built.
Also, don’t worry about the scenic
beauty for tourists. There's plenty.
Thrilling, too. Yeah, they are apt
to be speechless when passing over
that road in their cars ... and not
from scenery either. .., “Prairie

»Written in bed.)
I skipped writing you last week
because of the need of having a
minor alteration of my innards—
—eliminating an
appendix, to be
exact. However,
you can’t keep a
good man down,
so I’m “on my
feet” again after
a short count. If
I duck at the
right time from
now on, it looks
like a cinch from
C*l. Dttlllett
here out.
All joking aside, tho’, it takes a
sickness or similar difficulty to
demonstrate the friendships one
has accumulated. In my case, I
was inundated with flowers from
everyone, books and cards, with
many happy get-well thoughts. Ali
these gave me much to think about
and caused me to be thankful for
my host of friends. They even
made me feel as though I'd better
get back home early so I could
respect the doctor’s order of “not
too many visitors.”
Anyhoo, it was good to be able
to lie there and think of one’s many
friends, and the many nice things
they had done at various times.
I want to take this opportunity
to thank all of you for your very
thoughtful cards, flowers, etc., and
to tell you that each and every one
was deeply appreciated.
We’re still vulnerable to careless
fires in the area, and we all must
be super-careful and super-watch­
ful. Of course, the best way is to
prevent fires starting — then you
never have to fight them. Only
recently there was a fire set among
some cantonment buildings in the
eastern section of the state, or
thereabouts. There was a total loss
of about 20 buildings—irreplace­
able lumber, hardware and equip­
ment gone up in flames. This is a
tough problem with priorities and
supply as they are. But think of
the lousy type of man who would
set a fire at a time when our coun­
try needs help as she does today!
That is a louse like those eight
the F.B.I picked up in the east
this week. That is the type of men
who, willing to disembowel this
country, should be shot to death
instantly upon being captured. No
mercy should be shown.
We don’t think we have any like
them on the job, but we can't ever
le sure of anything, so we must be
alert at all times for the safety of
our job from the demon FIRE,
Keep your eyes open for suspi-
cious persons.
Again, glad to be back — be
seeing you. In the mean time, keep
punching—somegody’s got to drop
if you keep punching!
