what the armed forces are doing
in the present war last Tuesday
as over 1000 troops of the 91st
Division, with full battle equip
ment, paraded through the streets
to open officially the city's Fourth
Loan Drive.

Result of Laryngitis and Thinking
Grable Coming Here?
While recovering from a rough
ease of laryngitis and also trying
to recover his voice at the same
time in the Station Hospital, Tech
Joseph A. Bonvicino of the 70th
Div. Hq. Det. had a lot of time to
think about his favorite pin-up
girls even though he couldn't talk
about them.
Although he didn't approach Miss
Betty Grable through the mails for
the lovely picture he received, he
did send her Yuletide greetings
from the Trailblazer Division and
the picture was the result of his
fond wishes.
To make it perfect, Bonvicino
says with his newly-recovered vocal

to an invitation to visit Camp
Adair, the 70th Division and, of
course Joe. His convictions have
led him to the point of writing *
letter inviting the lady with the
glamorized legs to come north and
make the Army, and Joe, happy.
"Who knows?” he grinned when
asked whether he really thought
she would say, “Yea."
