The suggestion of Mr. Rainey
dealt with a now plan in handl­
ing commissary clothing sales.
He would have the prices of all
articles plainly indicated on the
purchase slip which would al­
leviate the possibility of error
and the necessity of an officer
possibly having to return to the
warehouse after making a pur­
chase. It would also make un­
necessary the use of one employe
now engaged in balancing sales
slips against the permanent
stock record.

Grass Planting
For All Areas
Hoping to prevent a repetition
of the dust of last Summer and
Fall which caused no small
amount of inconvenience to the
military personnel, ERTC troops
this week started to plant grass
in their respective areas. Plant-
ing will be under the supervis-
ion of the Post Engineer.
The grass is not of the lawn
variety and Camp Abbot will
hardly blossom out like a City
Park come the warm days of
Spring, for the grass is being
planted primarily as a dust pal-
liative, and the seed used is of a
variety especially fitted to grow
grass for this purpose.
Top soil, where needed, will be
obtained in the area surrounding
the dump and burning pit area.
A special announcement by Col.
Frank S. Besson, ERTC com-
mander urges that all units
plant their respective areas by
November 14.
A b b o t Face!
By Pfc. Milton Beck
Co. C, 59th Bn.
A few weeks ago Sgt. Hanson
the Top Kick of B, 59 was riding
a bicycle from his company on
an errand, and proceeding in the
direction of Bn. Headquarters he
was met by the battalion mail or­
derly of the 59th battalion who
had just emerged from the of­
fice, and had started out on foot
to pick up his mail from the post
office, as his own bicycle had a
flat tire at the time. The mail
orderly, Pfc. Beck, pointed his
finger at Sgt. Hanson and yelled;
“Where are you going with that
bicycle soldier, don’t you realize
that we are facing a rubber
crisis?” “ Is that trip absolutely
necessary?” Sgt. Hanson said
that he was going down to C,
company on an errand. Beck
said, “ give me that bicycle ser­
geant, my trip is more neces­
sary, I ’ve got to go to the post
office, you have to go only a
short distance which you can
walk.” The sergeant got down
o ff his bicycle and gave it to the
mail orderly without a word, a nd'
o ff rode the happy Pfc. Pfc. Beck
stand 5 ft 1 and H ” in., in his
bare feet; Sgt. Hanson is about
as strong and husky as any G. I.
in camp. This whole perform­
ance was witnessed by two pass­
ing Wac lieutenants who had a
most bewildered look as they
saw all of this. (Had they only
known that Pfc. Beck and Sgt.
Hanson are the best of pals, •
and that Sgt. Hanson is about
the best natured fellow a guy
would ever want to meet.)
Sgt. McKee of C, 59 went
down to the dental clinic the
other morning and came back
with this story, which he claims
he eye witnessed:
Gently he pushed her quiver­
ing shoulder- back against the
chair. She raised beseeching eyes
in which faint hope and fear
were struggling. From her part­
ed lips, the breath came in short
wrenching gasps. Reassuringly
he smiled at her.
Bzzzz, went the dentist's drill.
“ Meat is never meat until it is
in the pan” and then it sometimes
gets away. Such is the report
that comes to us of our Captain
W. H. Yarbough who has just
returned from his leave. It
seems that the Captain was deer
hunting over in the hills and
spied a beautiful four point buck
coming down the side of a little
rise. Well, it was a sure thing,
the red stamp problem was over
for the winter. Bang and the
deer fell, Captain rushed over
with glee to his kill and drew his
hunting knife to finish the job,
BUT behold, this fine buck rose
to his feet, waved his little wag-
ger and was gone before the Cap­
tain could gain his composure.
Thus the red stamps flashed
across the glade in glee. Better
Luck Next Time, Captain. We
might add that good pheasant
hunting was had with results in
the pan.
San Francisco (,CNS)—When
the hotel clerk told a stick-up
artist that he had a key to the
hotel till but none to the safe,
the bandit sneered. “ I can’t be
bothered with small stuff,” he
said and walked out.
M o to r Pool Reconditions
Equipment for Use in Training
Approximately 200 pieces of
heavy equipment, having served
its purpose in the virtually com­
pleted Arm y construction pro­
gram, has been reconditioned
and is in use at Camp Abbot. In­
cluded in this equipment, all re­
conditioned by the maintenance
section of the Motor Supply
Branch, are tanks, used in troop
training; power shovels, also
used in the training section, and
scores of trucks, jeeps and other
motor vehicles used in handling
post transportation.
Many of the trucks came from
the Alcan highway, in Alaska,
and several of the smaller tanks
were of a type built for the
Chinese government. Some were
badly “ beat up” upon arrival, but
motor pool mechanics recondit-
ioned them until now they func­
tion for every use required in
’ he training area. The power
shovels came from a mid-west­
ern Arm y post where they had
been used in construction activi­
ties.
Early in 1943 it was determin­
ed that the Arm y’s construction
program would be greatly re­
duced and that stocks of equip-
m< nt would become surplus. The
program of redistribution adopt­
ed called for the scrapping of all
obsolete equipment, the alloca­
tion of minimum amounts to the
Army Service Forces for train­
ing purposes and post mainten­
ance. The estimated overall re­
conditioned equipment through­
out the Army is placed roughly
at 50,000 pieces of heavy eqiup-
ment, valued at 8100,000,000.
