Camp Tailor Turns
In Experience in 2
Wars in Trade Work
When it’s all over he will return
to Eugene, Oregon, and hang out
a sign:
“Frank J. Serman, Tailor to Gen­
erals in Two Wars.”
During World War No. 1 he
1 was on the job at Los Angeles,
with the now defunct A. K. Brauer
and Co., outfitting generals and
admirals. Today, after doing busi­
ness for 20 years at Eugene, Ore­
gon, he is right here, as supervisor
of the tailoring units for the camp.
“But I myself do the cutting,
designing and fitting and make al­
terations for officers in this Post
Exchange No. 2,” he wished it
understood. “We make coats,
blouses, slacks and shirts to order
for officers, and the cloth we use
is the finest to be had.”
Mr. Sherman thinks that the of­
ficers’ uniforms in this war are
ever so much neater and good look­
ing than the ones of the other
war, with their high collars and
tight-fitting backs. He is all excit­
ed over the prospects here. With
such an amazingly handsome lot of
officers the competition for the
title of best-dressed officer in camp
will be something terrific, he pre­
dicts, if only the officers will
loosen up a bit in the way of spend­
ing money.
Fifteen tailors, with a total force
of 100 or 150, are needed here, he
estimates, but it won’t be easy to
get enough men of skill. He pointed
to a row of shirts and blouses,
draped on coat hangers, as indi­
cating the way trade had already
started. Some belonged to general
and one had a plain sergeant’s
chevrons on the sleeve. Non-coms
and privates are invited to do busi­
ness with him, Sherman said.
Sherman himself is in the PX at
1st St. North and Hostess St., but
other tailors vVill be scattered
about the camp when other ex-
changes open,
He wants everybody to know that
he is here as a patriot as well as a
tailor.
“My grandfather was in the Civil
war,” he explained, “and I have
been in the Boy Scout movement
that this was the thing to do. I am
a graduate of the American Fash- 1
ion School of New York and a
member of the Lions’ club cham­
pion bowling team. In the last 12
years I have held every office of
the Lions at Eugene and am now
deputy district governor of
Lions’ International.”
the non-coms of the Medics. The
question was put to them.
Based on their experience, in
previous winters here, they said,
the temperature will dr6p to 10
below zero and it will be so warm
all the time that there will be
green leaves on the trees all winter.
There will be no snow, and the
snow will be 30 inches deep.
There, now, that should satisfy
everyone, including the Japs.

What kind of weather will we
have here through the winter?
That’s what everybody wants to
know, and especially the men who
didn’t live in this section. So The
Sentry, always eager to serve the
camp, sought out Mr. and Mrs. E.
A. Blake, whose farm house, right
across the highway from Station
Hospital, is to be a club house for

It's so confusing. Really it is.
Just when a poor buck has suc­
ceeded in training his eyesight to
shoulder height for quick and posi­
tive identification of officer rank
along comes the order which up­
sets everything.
Effective as of last week, offi­
cers are wearing the insignia of
their rank on the left collar tab of
the shirt and the same side of the
garrison cap. There are compensa­
tions, however, that will make up
for the first few moments of in­
decision. It requires a minimum
of effort to look the gentleman
square in the eye when you give
out with jhe “hi-ball” and it’s a
definite advantage to have those
shoulders clear when putting on
and taking off gas masks and
other equipment slung on shoulder
straps.
Prospective officers (via OCS)
need not despair of having those
long longed for shoulder bars be­
cause they are still regulation on
the loop of the service coat, over­
coat, rain coat and work uniform.
Don’t let the change overthrow
you, soldier, and don't use it as a
salve for your conscience if you
fail to recognise and acknowledge
a superior rank.
