PARS FROM THE 69th
Provision has been made for the comfort of the Waac personnel to a fair extent, but it is suggested by the local budgies that a cubby-house be built in the shade of the lonesome pine at a certain BHQ or the QM be requested to indent for fleecy-lined groundsheets. Old Man Winter has convinced us that he has arrived, the trees have shed their leaves, the mud is on the ground, and the blossoms of love are coming into bud. Underground seepage advises that “Love in Bloom” is the theme song at R.H.Q. these days. Yes! another pair have mated. Good luck, Pat and Tubby. Who said all Sergeaht-Majors were heartless creatures? Don’t you believe it. Why! Only the other day, following the promotion of an illustrious sergeant to the rank of B.S.M. at a northern post, a truck was seen transporting a one-eyed, distressedlooking animalto wit, a dog, late mascot to the now extinct H. 3—kennel and all to G.B. Dame Rumour has, it that the kennel and occupant were traded by the kindly Sergeant-Major to a farmer for three sacks of really juicy, rose-red apples, which in turn were exchanged for three shiny new half-crowns of the realm. It is really surprising what, some social workers will do to augment the camp social funds. Congrats, Rooter, on your fine effort and promotion to 8.5. M.,
All roads will lead to H.2. one night in the near future, when the Pantomime “IF you KNOWS of a BETTER ’Ole,” written by that well-known Gunner, Edgar Allen Chamber, will be produced by the Milne-Tyler-Johnson combination. The show should be a pronounced success, as the services of 2/Lieut. Skeet are being obtained to play the lead, “Madamoiselle from Armyintears.”
Building progress has advanced to such an extent during the week (really the outcome of praise and encouragement given by “FLAK” in last issue) that our Alt has fitted two more panes of glass, and did not work overtime either.
Horrid Things in a Night Rome may not have been built in a day .. but horrid things can happen » ■■ in a night!
