Nadder HARMONY CHURCH From all reports, the radio program presented by the Har mony Church WACs under the supervision of Cpl. Ann Cart lidge last Sunday over WRBL was a great success, thanks to the versatility of the WACs who took part. Cpl. Helen Hopp, acting as MC, conducted an in terview with a few of the WACs obtaining from them an ingenio us story of their foreign ances try. The girls, who represented six different countries were Pfc. Mildred Musigades. Cpl. Lillian Spina, Pfc. Bertha Chin, Cpl. Lillian Knotek, Pvt. Mary Phil lips, and Sgt. Jeanne Nadder. The musical background was en riched by the vivacious guitar playing and yodeling of Cpl. Mabel Turner, the inciting melo dies rendered by Sgt. Ethel Drake on her harmonica, a cho rus harmonizing on popular WAC tunes, and solos sung by Pfc. Amy Michalski and Cpl. Ann Cartlidge. The thirty min utes on the air were well spent. Whenever Cpl. Mary Arnell hears the name Atlanta, she is ■ well reminded of the faux pas she made on one of her recent trips to that city.

Consequently when the CQ took bed check that night and checked the sheet, she was quite bewildered, but there was more than bewilder ment on Mary’s return from At lanta! It wasn't a WAC who received the undivided attention of all last Saturday during the open ranks inspection, but a weather beaten 4F kitten! The immodest creature, in a most conspicuous locale, proceeded with her morn ing toiletries, unperturbed by the strict military position of the company. With the greatest re straint. the WACs tried to keep a sober status, but found it a bit difficult. “Vanity of Vanity, all is Vanity' even with the felines! Elephant Trainer (Continued from Page 1) for School classes in the morn ing. In the afternoon the 16 sol diers who handle the dogs take them through the obstacle course and give them exercise like swimming. Alonzo’s dog is “Rex”, a Belgian sheep dog whose specialty is casualty work Felix Alonzo was born in the Ringling Brothers circus, where his mother "handled’’ elephants and his father trained them. When he was in his mid-teens he spent his summer vacations away from Springfield (Mass.) Tech nical high school as a “cage man", cleaning the living quar ters of the animals and shifting them from cage to cage. In this way he learned how to handle them and when he was about 15 he was able to take his first crack at training a trio of young lions. ”1 used the bait method—l’d hang a piece of meat above the pedestal and guide them up with a pole. They got the idea in about three weeks, and gradually I could cut down on the meat.” In those days elephants were broken in by trainers in this country (now they come from Africa and India fairly trained) and when he started on the “bulls" he found it took six months to train them correctly. “The biggest thrill in circus life for me,” says Alonzo, "was unloading. We used the ele phants to pull wagons and pull up the poles—they’d get restless if we didn’t keep them busy. An average stop was just one or two days, so they had a lot of work. “The circus pays well and it’s a good life—l always got a per centage of the gate receipts. There were 1600 of us in the Ringling show—our trains had every convenience, including hospital cars and sleepers and chib cars." After the war Alonzo might become a circus animal dealer or go to Australia with Welby Cook, animal expert. “Animals are definitely my business” he said, as he was off to town to see the bear act in the Thrill circus.
