News off the Commandos North American B-25 Mitchell As everyone knows, the .Com mandos make one trip to Camp White a month, but most people do not realize the amount of work that goes into these ex cursions. We girls go as enter tainers and must put on a new show each month. This program constitutes a great deal of effort inasmuch as we are mere ama teurs. On the day set for our trip, we . work until late af ter- noon, then drive over to camp; eating our dinner and changing into our uniforms on the way. These trips really work a hard- ' ship on the girls but they are all ao enjoyable considering the pleasure the boys seem to derive from our appearance. Each trip is sponsored by one of the many divisions. This past , weekend we were guests of Mrs. Bertha Hopkins, director of Serv ice Club One, and the 363rd in-' ' fantry. Our sleeping quarters and meals were supplied. On arriving at our destina tion Service Club One we were greeted by a barrage of red, white and blue decorations and large sign which read "Welcome Commandos." Over 800 soldiers were present and needless to say, the Commandos were pretty busy. A portion of each, pumber was a tag dance and the girls bad from 10 to 20 partners each dance. . Our guest star, Diane Michka, age 4, from Maiin, opened our floor show with a stop-time tap number. Sgt. Gayle biwer won praise and much applause by her vocal numbers, "Tnere Are Such Things," and "We'll Meet Again." Next on the program was an announcement by Capt. Bernie Heidemann on "Klamath Buckaroo Days," giving an ac count of the big celebration and now the net proceeds are to be turned over to the Commandos for their "Wounded Service Men's Fund." Capt. Bernie then introduced the Commando chor us, singing a medley of western tunes, portraying the spirit which prevails in Klamath Falls at rodeo time. Featured were Sgt. Dorothy Laurensen, dressed as Klamath's Buckaroo queen, singing "Tumbling Tumble Weed," and Sgt. Dot Constable dressed as "Cowboy Joe," doing a bit of panorama while the chor us vocalized in the background. That ever popular number "I'll See You Again," was used as tne final number for the chorus, and then we were very proud to again present Diane Michka in a hula tap number. This little bit of grass skirted loveliness touch ed every heart in the room by her superb Interpretation of "Little Grass Shack." We want to thank and salute Diane for be ing one of the finest of troupers. ' Mother Commando Lois Ser ruys gave a speech on the Com mandos and all their various projects. She explained the mil itary set-up and why We make our trips in a body; why dating nn ,hn nn.t ncnl.iUi .....1 ...U.. the girls must adhere to all the i rigid rules and regulations. Most every soldier had some question ' to ask but the main one was, "Why did you select the name Commando." Mother Serruys' reply was Commando typifies action and the girls have defi nitely earned that title by their many activities. Mother Lois concluded her speech with an in vitation to the boys that all would be welcome in Klamath and often. The Commando marching unit put on a drill' using military commands but applying them to new and different maneuvers.

We continued dancing until 12 o'clock and then accompanied by Mrs. Bertha Hopkins, matron in charge, we retired to our GI beds, wnich incidently, felt hea venly. The girls were given the spe- cial privilege of sleeping in Sun day morning uniii o a. m., ana then we soon enjoyed a wonder ful army breakfast, followed by a special trip in Gl trucks to see the German village built by the 01st division for training pur poses. The village proved most interesting and very complete from a business district on down to a regular German cemetery. Church was the next thing on our program, so we hurried over to chapel, where we were warm ly greeted by our good friend, Chaplain Delbert S. Lacque ment. We were sorry to hear he will be leaving soon. The chapel was crowded and we met many of our old friends. Chaplain Lacquement made the statement he wished the Commandos could be present every Sunday as the chapel was filled to capacity with soldiers. After church we visited the recreation room of the 363rd and bid farewell to our many friends, leaving Camp White at the stroke of 12. We started our journey home, tired but pleased that everyone seemed to have had a nice time. Some of our girls were officially on duty at the center, so upon their arrival immediately took up their duties here. Comments have been made that these trips to Camp White are pleasure jaunts for the Com mandos but rest assured that is tne farthest thought in our minds. We are making these trips because we feel there is a great need for our services and our only desire is to be of some help to these boys who are going out to lay down their lives. You people who feel secure and snug in your homes have these boys to thank for your se curity. Do you think we are doing too much to send these boys off with the comforting thought that every red-blooded American is behind them? , Everyone has an equal chance to do his bit, but with so many hands needed in so many differ ent places, it seems such a waste of time to sit back doing noth ing but criticize the efforts made by others. What are you doing about it? Lightning Starts Small Woods Fire Lightning started a small fire in the woods on Chinquapin, north of Pinehurst last night, according to officials of the Klamath protective agency. The fire was spotted by one of the lookouts in this area, and was phoned in to the forest service in Medford, which has charge of the Chinquapin area. Little damage is expected be cause of the wet condition of the woods. The lightning had set a snag on fire. Saccharine is 300- times as sweet as sugar. It was discov ered accidentally by an Amer ican scientist in 1878. Classified Ads Bring Results. OUR MEN AND' WOMEN IN SERVICE FROM GEORGIA geant Alice D.
