A New Racket
How Cabbies Take You for a Ride
Under the hypocritical guise of patriotism, gasoline con
servation and share-the-ride, Portland’s taxi drivers have
worked out a honey of a new racket.
We confess we don’t often take a cab, but this past week
end we had the occasion. It was impossible to hire a cab
alone—the driver insisted on taking three other passengers
(share the ride, patriots, conserve gasoline).
Well, that was all right; we \yere willing.
The cab didn’t go directly to our destination but made
another stop first, one not on our direct route.
At this stop the meter read 40c' i\vo

Leg Art:
Does It Help Round Us Out?
What about leg art, glamour pictures and sex shots in general
in an Army paper?
An AF release out of Washington last week said th«' War Depart
ment suggests that Aimy editors henceforth eliminate the so-calle«i
glamour pictures, largely for the simple Cif Sufficient 1 reason that
civilian periodicals of all kinds treat with the subject to such a
fare-yuv-well that Army papers cannot hope to compete with them.
So. why bother?
On the other haml the GI Galley, which is published for Army
editoi. by the Camp Newspaper Service, has until the last reading
been heavily in favor of using that ol' stuff and plenty of it within
news pages. The premise is based on the fact that: "A recent'poll of
Army editors show«*«! that soldiers were tlemanding more ‘leg art'."
It is our personal observation that some of our contemporaries
have overdone the glamour picture angles, and that some, including
ourselves (if we must admit it), have tended to uuder-do it.
It is doubtless true that “glamour-puss” magazines can beat us
to the punch. But there are a healthy number of Gls in this esmp.
it appears, who depend upon the Sentry for the bulk of the periodical
rei sdo they have time to handle during th«' week. We feel, therefore. I
that g reasonable amount of leg art and glamour tends to.round us out.
