On Victory March
The Heppner Mustangs defeated
the Grant Union Cowboys at John
Day Friday, Oct. 2, 12-0. The Cow
boys proved to be a very tough
team all through the game, in fact
during the first quarter they prac
tically ran wild before the Mustangs
could organize their defense. The
Mustangs held the Cowboys on the
one-yard line for four downs early
in the second quarter. This threat
proved to be the one and only one
for the Cowboys.
Midway in the third quarter the
Mustangs scored their first touch
down. Wade Bothwell sneaked thru
the weak side of the line and ran
seven yards for the score. The try
for point failed. Near the end of
the third quarter Jim Barratt re
ceived a Cowboy kick on his own
35-yard line and with the help of
good blocking ran the ball back 65
yards for the second Heppner
score. Again the try for point
faikd. The Mustangs threatened
late in the fourth quarter but
could not score for lack of time.
Parrish and Jones were outstanding
on defense for the Mustangs while
Barratt made most of the yardage
on defense.
The Mustangs will travel to Ar
lington on Friday, Oct. 9, hoping
to strangle the Honkers The Honk
ers have a strong team again this
year and this should be a close,
hard-fought game for both teams.

Rose Le'ibbrand, junior leader,was
promoted just five days after be
ginning her specialists' training.
The WAACS have a thorough and
a painstaking period of learning
how the Army does things after
completing the strenuous, indoctri
nation, basic course.
"The Army program is a way of
living that reminds one of the
Greek spartans," writes Miss Leib
brand. "All fripperies and amenit
ies of life are stripped away and
one eats, sleeps, dresses and thinks
Army.
"The WAAC soldiers are on duty
24 hours a day and may be called
out at any hour to pursue a course
of work. Their day begins when the
lights flare up in the barracks and
the Charge-of-Quarters blows a
whistle. For the next 12 hours ev
ery minute is taken up with Army
duties. You haven't a split second
to call your own.
'"We stand reville at 6 a.i m. and
then march to mess. By 7:15 a. m.
we have policed (cleaned) the bar
racks and are in formation to march
to work. Lunch is at 11:45 and we
are at our offices by 1 p. m. The
day ends at 4:45 and mess is at 5:15
p. m. However some of the girls
have to work evenings until 9:30
to 10:30 o'clock.
"Those of us who do not work,
wash and iron clothes; polish shoes;
go to a beauty shop for a hairdo
or a manicure; write letters; read;
play ping-pong, bridge or go walk
ing. We have our own, PX (post
Exchnge), theatre and chapel.
"Week-ends .we are out of our
offices by 3 p. m. and we go to
Des Moines on the trolley. Most of
us like a good steak as a change
from our Army rations, and we take
in a movie. Some of us are invited
to civilian homes for the whole
week-end. People of Des Moines
have been most cordial to the
WAACS.
"I have been assigned to the li
brary in Publications. We have
charge of the non-expendable man
uals and other publications printed
by the U. S. government. Later, of
ficer's training will be offered to
those of us with high ratings, and
high IQ's. We specialists have had
all the breaks. No KP; few gigs; a
mess hall of our own; a barracks of
our own; and every consideration
which includes new interpretations
of Army regulations to make things
easier for the training center groups.
"We live in the renovated stables
which are far more comfortable
than the old cavalry barracks, and,
of course, we dubbed ourselves the
"Hobby Horses" the first day.
"There are two facts that stand
out in connection with the WAACS:
we are all volunteers; all eager for
advancement; although we are from
48 States there has never been a
quarrel; we specialists all passed
severe mental and physical tests;
and, like the Army we work hard!
"It's a rare privilege to be part of
this group that came here July 20th.
And we like the Army!"
James Moyer writes that he is
stationed in Mobile, Alabama and
works at the air-craft warning in
formation center which is under the
3rd Interceptor Command.

sels that had been brought into
' the harbor to be repaired, having
been torpedoed or shelled at sea.
In Mobile, at Pinto Island, the

Ed Carey, our fire chief, came
stompin' into the piintin' office last
week, ir.adder'n a hornet.
"Say!" he yells. "If I could get
my hands on that feliow Goebbels,
I'd stick a fire hose in his mouth
and turn on the pressure," Ed
shouts, poundin' my desk. "Do you
know what he's puttin on the
German short-wave propaganda to
America NOW? He's tellin folks
that Anieriean army camps are full
of drunkenness! Can'you beat it?"
"Calm yourself, Ed," says I.
"Nobody's going to believe what
Goebbels tells 'em."
"But don't you see? He's puttin'
this bare-faced lie on the air to
stir up trouble."
"Pretty, stupid propaganda, I'd
say. Pretty silly, even for the
Nazis," says I.
"How so?" says Ed. "There's
people in this country that want
beer taken out of the camps. That
sure is going to hurt army morale.
And this lie certainly is fuel for
their fire."
"Not if I know Americans," I
says. "And the Nazis don't know

us. People realize that if Goebbels
wants beer taken away from our
soldiers there must be a reason.
The enemy won't stop anything
that's hurting our army. They'll
try to stop whatever's helping it."
"Say! That's true, ain't it?" Ed
began to grin.
"Of course it's true and rea
sonable people can't help but see
it. So instead of makin' trouble
like they hope they're just con
firmin' what the Secretary of War
and the other Army leaders be
lieve that among the other good
wholesome things a fighting man
can get at the canteen in camp .
America should include beer."
From where I sit I can guess
why Goebbels wants beer out of
the camps. The Nazis would a heap
rather face an army that already
lost its rights than one that was
righting for freedom it could touch
and taste and feel every day . .
