The Height of Rationing
Two young ladies were walking
down Fifth Avenue. Suddenly one
cut loose with a piercing shriek.
“Look,” she cried in amazement.'
“What is so terrible?” asked.her
friend. “They are only midgets.” |
“Thank goodness,” said the oth- .
er girls, greatly relieved. “I thought
for a minute they were rationing
men.”

soldiers before the show. Miss
Venuta picked up some Army
slang. It happened that during
the course of the show, some low
and admiring whistles started
from the rear of the audience and
started gaining in power — at
which Benay stepped to the front
of the stage and told the boys,
“Blow it out your barracks bag!”
Even she was unprepared for the
tumultuous roar of laughter thia
sally drew, but the noise finally
subsided and the show continued.
But what Miss Venuta didn’t
know was that, translated loosely,'
the phrase means, “That’s a lot
of hooey.” (Translated very, very,
very loosely that is.)

I danced with. I was going to get
more of an interview the next day
but when I got around to it early
next morning the Lt. and the T/5
had gone. Probably I didn’t get up
early enough.
Anyhow I did learn a few things
about Women’s Army Auxiliary
Corps and also that the SCU 1911

Who said it can’t happen here?) is

The WAACs, I may say, are
proud of their work and their or­
ganization and hopeful for the 100
per cent success of their important
auxiliary function in the Army.
Their belief and their recruiting
policy is this:
That the more tasks they can
fulfill and the more men they may
release for combat abroad, the
sooner their men will whip the axis
and come back to them.
But what I couldn’t figure Ed.

doing recruiting at Camp Adair.
I guess I’ll have to ask 1st Sgt.

he had asked T/5 Keeney to dance.

! T-5 Meets T-5; Dances With Same; And
i That Ain't a Shame. One Was a WAAC
Dear Editor: I am a T/5 and the
'Gulls, Mountaineers, Geysers
Priming for May 31 Contest
The Seagulls have been working
hard at the Field House getting
into shape for the Timber Wolf
Division boxing tourney, post­
poned to start May 31, and the
men seem to share a great deal of
confidence in their ability.
Probably the most feared men
on the Seagull squad are Young
Henry Miranda and Johnny Fer­
raro. However, the team as a whole
is a very potent outfit.
Of Mountaineers
The Mountaineers have not had
much to say about their chances
but on a closer inspection of this
team we find some very start­
ling facts.
Alfred Encinas, at 130 lbs. shows
great promise of being a winner
in the tournament. W’arren Morris,
a Michigan man who spends time
on his furlough boxing, will un­
doubtedly give a good account of
himself.
I
Henry Judd, at 135-lbs, crossed
a right to the chin of one of his
sparring partners and laid him out
cold (with 16 oz gloves too).
Eppinette Feared
Young Willie Eppinette is con­
sidered by some of the observing
Bud Luby of Seagulls, 157-Pound-
officers of the Mountaineer Regi­ er, is a threat in Division tourney
ment as the finest prospect of all. to start May 31, at Field House.
Wayne Seibert, at 168 lbs, is a
dark horse considering the fact that
he never had a glove on before
coming to Camp Adair. Otherwise
Coach Lt. Marty Krpan has little
to say which is a bad omen for the
rivals of the Mountaineers.
The Geysers have been so quiet
about their team that both the Sea­
gulls and the Mountaineers are try­
ing to scout them for information.
It looks like a great tournament.
Everyone is invited. So turn out
and give your teams a hearty back­
ing.
