could do in the USO Football

They have prizes awaiting at
the USO where the cigarettes
will be delivered immediately.
SAND PIPER—“ Across the narrow beach we flit”— or are we just
November-dreaming? Well, the name of the dream is Julie Con
way. Since flitting’s hardly practicable for the duration, you can
at least hear her singing in “ Kay Kyser’s College of Musical
Knowledge” over the NBC Network Wednesday evenings.

tainment features are being pre
pared for the coming weeks
when weather will be more con
ducive of soldiers remaining in
doors once they reach Bend.

W A C NOTES
By Sgt. Florence Breitiugrr
and
Pfc Pat Rice
Daisy May came into her own
yesterday when she made her
first effort at “ standing on her
own four feet.”
She marched into the Enlisted
Personnel Section unescorted,
leaped up on the Classification
Officer’s desk and demanded in
a loud bark that she be allowed
to join the Arm y K-9 section.
She was sick and tired of amus
ing women as her part in the
war effort.
Much to Daisy’s sorrow she
was declared too young for the
big dog’s Army. Daisy Mae was
so sad about her rejection, she
had to be carried back to the
barracks prostrate in a Weap
ons' Carrier.
In an attempt to raise Daisy’s
morale she has been appointed
