Car­ michael is personnel sergeant maj­ or for the post and as such hax the number (serial and otherwise), of officers and men in SCIJ No. 1IHI, as well as some outside. He knows more aliout the average soldier than the average soldier knows about him. In fact he hax been, heretofore, a man of mys­ tery, and many a rumour addict has wondered what dark, military secrets the canny Carmichael was pondering a.- he plodded, head bowed in thought, across the field from barrack to headquarter*. Today, however, The Sentry comes out with a fearless expose of Carmichael and this is it. The man is, at heart, a philosopher and a poet, and when you think he’s thinking about the next list of pro­ motions he isn’t at all. He is figur­ ing out the destiny of man and communing with the infinite. In short, Carmichael is some­ thing special in sergeants. He is not only literate, he is literary. Hix novels have been published and he has another, of 140,000 words, hid­ den in his barrack locker or his desk The Sentry's second-story Workci have been unable to put theii hands on it, but it is on the premixes all right. Of more immediate interest, though, is a weighty manuscript of poetry which Sgt. Carmichael has written. It is really done to a musical score, the music being that of Johann Strauss of the ravishing “Blue Danube Waltz" and others, although this is not in waltz time but manti time and hax a martial swing The master sergeant, n son of l.o Angeles and IK months in the Army in this enlistment, wax requested to do this job for a USD show that is expected to tour camps throughout the country. The chArux. set to music, is pre­ ceded by a spoken prologue, which quotes » cynic, questioning ’the worth of any war. and concludes: SON 1 ■ RETAIL PRICES! KEEP YOUR TIRES ROLLING !
