IDEA BEARS FRUIT
The “ Squander Bug" is that
unpredictable urge which tells
you to go ahead and throw
your money away—that just
buying one more thing won't
udd to inflation, or help create
a shortage of goods. Don’t lis­
ten to the "Squander Bug."
He's all set to gobble up every
dollar he can. He thrives on
your extravagance. Starve him
with War Bonds!
— Ninth Service
Command Letter
—
As the Fourth War Loan
Drive draws to a close, with
Tuesday the last day cash pur­
chases may count toward the
total, personnel of Camp Abbot
is urged to buy one more bond
out of its latest pay check.
Since January 1, $78,000 worth
of war bonds have been sold at
this post. The aim is to reach
$100,000, although no definite
goal has been set. This means a
concerted effort and despite the
already fine showing, an even
better one is demanded, officials
point out.
Every civilian employee has
made a class A allotment for
war bonds of 10 per cent or over
of their gross day. Fifteen per
cent of the military personnel
have Class A allotments, with
officers averaging 17 per cent of
their base pay and enlisted men
9 per cent.
The Office of the Command­
ing General, Ninth Service Com­
mand, has just issued an appeal
to “ make the double goal.” It re­
ports a participation in the Com­
mand of 88.9 per cent, with only
1.1 per cent to go, and a sum
amounting to 9.9 per cent of the
payroll, a mere .1 per cent to go
over the top. “ We've been aim­
ing for the goal for a year and
a half. Now let’s go over!”

Aside from being a decorative bit
of art, this shows that even the
lowly snake can get a "break”
once in a while. With a subject
such as this, we can begin to see
the boa con trie tor’s point. Just
who the reptile-clad young lady
is we don't know. Someone
swiped our picture and didn't
bother to leave the underlines.
Abbot Art Show
Draws GI Crowds
Large groups, of aesthetically,
inclined soldiers gathered in the
library and on the balcony of
the service club this week to
view Camp Abbot’s first Art Ex­
hibit sponsored by the Library
and arranged by Cpl. Angelo L.
Caravaglia of Service Co.
As evidenced by comments
and interest, the watercolors of
Arne R. Jensen, Publications
Branch, are most popular, es­
pecially the striking “Mass Mur­
der,” and the near-funny “ Pots
and Pans.” Robert Addison of
Service Company is exhibiting
a striking collection of water
color and ink sketches of cath­
edrals, and Gary Woo, recently
transferred contributed a sur­
prising water color.
In addition, Angelo Caravaglia
presents his own ink sketches;
Ted Lewy, now transferred,
water colors; Helen Souhrada,
cafeteria hostess, a charcoal
sketch; Charles H. Suter, Sup­
plemental Training Co. water
colors and pencil sketches; Eu­
