Something's Wrong; KPs Want to Work! At Camp Shelby, Miss., KPs keep the mess hall ringing with phrases like “Let me peel those spuds, surge” and “Oh, I’ll see that the dishes are washed.” No this is not a dream. But there is a reason for everything. The QM at Shelby has just in stalled an electric potato peeler and an electric dishwasher. It’s a KP’s picture of Heaven now! Summer Affects Girls Of QM C & E Repair As the weather grows in creasingly warmer, upsweep hairdos, lighter lunches, rosier cheekx (natural), summery clothing, icy contents in the thermos thirstily consumed during rest periods, appear among the employees of the QM-C & E Repair Shop. A steady three-day rain, as only Oregon can have them, would be appreciated by all, but the girls keep telling themselves they can take it as is, the girls keep telling themselves. Cp. Abbot Hostess Visits Cp. Adair On an official mission from Camp Abbot, Miss Helen Smith, principal service club hostess at that camp, is now visiting Mrs. Margaret Blod gett, hostess at Club 1, to study the methods of operation and or ganization of clubs at Camp Adair. Answers Manpower Shortage, Too! Holbrook, Ariz. (CNS)—When informed that the Navajo Indian population is increasing three times as rapidly as that of the white race in the U. S. A., 82-year- old Hendy Chee Dodge, veteran tribal sagamore, came up with a heap big solution to the problem. Every white man, he suggested, should he given three wives. Notes to You ASN Must Be on Free-Mail Letters Busy SCU Band Stops Long Enough for Picture to Be Taken After Long Illness, June Powell Back Convalescing from a recent near- fatal illness, lovefy June Powell was a visitor at Camp Adair this week accompanied by her mother, and it is expected she will soon return to her Post duties in the Service Club libraries. June, who was the “Sentry Prog ress Girl” in our April 15 edition, is an accomplished dancer and a much-admired acquaintance of offi- j cers and EM at this cantonment. Give thanks that she came through one week of desperate ill ness and be glad for her return. THE WELL-KNOWN SCI' Military band will be very busy the next few days playing in Corvallis and Albany as their eontribu- tion to the success of the Oregon premiere of “This Is the Army.”—Sentry Photo.
