It’s true that leap year has its
advantages in proposals by the
female sex, but T. Sgt. Earl Rapp
took it upon himself to pop the
question and reluctantly presen

have too. about the soldier who
is attached to this company and
spends every weekend in Warm

had many questions to ask about
the infiltration course.. He won
dered why a cook should have
to do such a thing for the most
part, and he was seen to be a
long ways from being calm on
the way to the woods last Sun
day. But he came through with
flying colors. Has every mem
ber of the company been ex
tending a welcome hand to the
new members? Remember that
some day you might find your
self in the same situation, and
that some day might be real
soon. This week we are glad

LOST--One Company G sup
ply sergeant and his trained as
sistant answering to the name of
Steve. When last seen this Staff
Sergeant was wearing a pair of
green coveralls and heading in
the general direction of a card
game. As for Steve, none can
even recall having last seen him.
The first orientation talk was
apparently well taken by Co.
G men. and discussion of our
first sergeant s experiences was
continued for several days. Lt
Parr presented some valuable
material. The subject of Democ
racy and why we fight is a tough
one to explain without going in
to history and economics. It’s
practically classroom activity,
and with questions and discus
sion the talks can be fruitful.
Two groups have gone through
the infiltration course on Sun
days and the reaction naturally
varies with the individual. I’m
sure it’s a picnic compared to
the Pacific area, Italian and Rus
sian fronts.
The range has sent about 30
men to the N. C. O. refresher
course in Harmony Church area,
and the Repro Plant almost a»
many. We are getting accustom
ed to seeing new faces every day
around these barracks.
