Camp Adair Sentry I hursday, November 5,1942. Both a Tall Tale and a Short Story; To What Lengths Will a Corporal Grow! Corporals Incorporated, or the Long and the Short of it. Six feet and ten inches is the height of Cpl. George M. Dinsmore, Jr . 25. Five feet and one inch is the height of Cpl. Glen W. Sheets, 31. Dinsmore, in a service company, and Sheets, in the dispensary, are in the same infantry battalion and Sheets is eager to walk down the street with Dinsmore, in any town near the camp, and frighten chronic inebriates into a state of sobriety. “How’s the weather up there?” be cries as they pass on a camp street. When he rode here from Mont- erey, the War Department (indi- rcctly) gave Cpl. Dinsmore a berth all to himself, a lower berth, that is, and probably had to stretch regulations to do it. “What a center he would tnakel” your basketball-conscious soldier exclaims when he sees Dinsmore looming on the horizon. Well, he wax a basketball center. “Whst a neat jockey he'd make!” says your race horse man when he spies Sheets, and Sheets was a |acfcey. Dinsmore grew up in New Bed­ ford, Mass., but only part way. His father, now in the hydrographic of­ fice at San Francisco, and a quar­ termaster, has long been in the Navy and the family lived in vari­ ous Atlantic porta and then in Cali­ fornia, where Dinsmore was a high school graduate in the town of Ione. Then Dinsmore wa* a placer gold miner, near Jackson, Calif., and for six month* he wa* a C. C. C. wood chopper among the Big Tree*. He enlisted at The Presidio, in 1937, going into the infantry, but he came here from Ft. Robert*. A brother, seaman first class, is in the Navy, on the Yorktown. When he was 15, Dinsmore stood an even six feet and for three years thereafter gained three inches a year. He gained his full height at 19 and few are the door* that he can enter without ducking. On high school teams he played center in basketball and football and also was center on the 30th Infantry basketball team. He plays tennis, but not at the net. Opponents lob over his iiead, he says, although that scarcely seems possible. Now, coming down 24 inches to Sheets, that corporal was bom at Seminole, Okla. He was a jockey for Gene Corey, heir to the Haw­ thorne Track, and lie rode at Tia- juana and Hollywood Park. He has been a drug clerk and ia now a medical technician. He has been stationed at Ft. Sill and Camp 6ta rkley. Dinsmore weighs 190. Sheets weighs 115. WANT CHORUS A Soldiers’ Chorus is in the process of formation, with Mrs. Florence Merriam as the organ­ izer. Mrs. Merriam is looking for men who can and want to sing in a choral group. She’s had wide experience both as a professional singer and as an Instructor in singing, and she is sincere in wanting to get a chorus started. So, if you can sing, or have sung in musical organizations before, stop in Club 2, and leave your name, or call Mrs. Merriam on the ’phone .... 2480.

Adrian told how rations were drawn and dis­ tributed. They arrived in bulk, all of the beef for a regiment, for example, and then there was a ration breakdown for the various outfits. Speaking for the maintenance section, Lt. Cunningham presented skits showing procedure in hand­ ling a truck having a broken wheel, with a timber drag in its place, and in patching up a car at night when lights could not l>e exposed. Two cars were placed facing one another, in the woods, with a tent canopy over them. Then the search­ lights of the good car were to give tight enough for work on the I damaged car. Also arrangements were made for sending back 5-gallon contain­ ers to be filled with gasoline and returned to the front, as well as for bringing up extra bed rolls. Trucks were spaced so as to be free to move. Al) vehicles were camouflaged and the area was ringed with outposts, including a “disciplinary guard” on a road to see that all precautions were taken by vehicles coming up. Incidentally, the ba rn used for headquarters was on relatively high ground, with good drainage, and the enemy was assumed to be off in the direction of Monmouth.

All commands are instructed to arrange, so far as possible, that all annual leaves or furloughs start on Tuesdays, Wed­ nesdays, or Thursdays of the week and that these leaves terminate so that return travel will occur on the same days of the week. The war department proceedure must be followed except as may be directed otherwise for special occa­ sions such as Thanksgiving, Christ­ mas, New York, etc. It is hoped that passenger trains and intercity busses will then find themselves able to cope with the present de­ mands.

The Federal Rent Control law states: There may be no evictions of tenants except for a few specific causes which are named in regu­ lations. No rented house may be sold unless the purchaser pays one- third of the purchase price down, and none of this money may be borrowed for that pur­ pose. The tenant of a house which is sold may not be evicted for three months after notice of the sale is reported to the area rent director. Any tenant who has been charged rent in excess of the amount his dwelling rented for March 1, 1942, may sue the land­ lord for three times the amount of the overcharge, or for $50, which ever is the greater and for court costs and attorneys fees.
