M. G. O. T. S., at Camp Hancock, ob served Thanksgiving with a fire tur key dinner and entertainment last ‘Wednesday evening. The Ordnance Jazz Band, members of the company, and soldiers from the groups enter tained with an excellent program. The dinner was served under the capable direction of Mess Sergeant Fred Eller man and his assistants. The mess hall was beautifully dec orated with leaves of holly and other fall shrubbery. All of the officers of the company were present. Lt. Col. Wade 11. Westmoreland, comnwnd-ng officer of the C. M. G. O. T. S., and Major J. G A. Montague, commanding officer of the First battalion of the school, of which the company is a part, were unable to be present, the latter because of the arrival of his family in Augusta for the holidays.

Second Group Crack Basket Ball Tearn to Play Town Stars Now that the football season is over, the soldiers and civilians alike sports, manage t<> keep up their athletic work. If it is not a game «>n the outside, it will b< played on the inside with the 'same spirit and enthusiasm, whether it Lc basket-ball or indoor baseball. The first real basket-ball game is to be played on next Thursday eve ning, December 5, at the Augusta Y. M. A. The parties contracted will be the crack team of the Second Group of the Machine Gun Training Center and the All-stars of Augusta Y. M. C. A. This event will be a most promis ing one as both teams are well match ed, consisting of the most able bas ket-ballists of the leading universities and colleges of the land. The Second Group five, especially is noted for its heavy artillery, their lineup being as follows: St. Germain, a former star of To moh College, and Squirrel, at one time the leading goal thrower of Carlisle, will play forward. Summers, also a star from Carlisle, with the famous Grady, will perform their duty as backs. McArdle, the great Wisconsin lad. is slated for center. Although t he above teams seem to be a strong set, they will have to "go some” to beat the Augusta "Y,” which has been in training for some time. A large crowd is anticipated at this the first contest fur soldiers in the basket ball realm in this part of the South. PERSONALS FROM THE CAMP PERSONNEL DETACHMENT Speaking of War Work Campaigns, if the Personnel men keep up their run o nthe orderly room for furloughs, we may have to launch a. campaign ourselves to get funds to buy a new doorstep. Private Engbeth has discovered a new way to shave. He uses tooth powder. Sergeant Twimble has returned from New York and was so busy "doing" the town that, he forgot to call on several of his old sweethearts. There is a little girl named Augusta, residing on Hancock street hack in Brooklyn, who is keeping Private Ar thur Tilly of Hancock, Augusta, at his typewriter until all hours of the night. When asked by Lieutenant Paterson the other evening if his work had in creased, Arthur answered, “Just per sonal matters, sir, just personal.” Franz Meyer is serving his country in two ways. In addition to his regu laa duties in the morning report de partment, he is teaching a class in for eign exchange, in which business he is an expert and is willing to impart his knowledge to others. The Southern climate is having a queer effect upon Ralph Harwood. He suffers very frequently with harden ing of the arteries. Here's our idea ofa real Thanksgiv ing feed. Give us your kind attention, while we translate the menu in eatable I lingo: Grape fruit, roast turkey, creamed white potatoes, sweet potatoes, green peas, -bread dressing, biscuits, corn fritters, cranberry • sauce, oranges, ap- I pies, assorted nuts, strawberry and | vanilla ice cream, chocolate crackers, I fruit cake, mince pre, coffee, grape ! juice, celery, and chocolate almonds anil marshmallows. Wonder what Mazie would think if I she only knew that Sergeant Velders [has already broken one heart in Felix, i Alabama? ; Sergeant Hemmer and Private La Mancusa have a considerable job keep ing up steam enough to keep Ser geant Anderson warm. And, speaking of steam, Tent No. 3 has erected a camouflage steam gauge to keep a record of how much hot air is in the tent. Private Kaplan is the chief engineer but he has wor thy assistants in Sergeant Berger and ; Privates Agos'.in and Shein. Private Meth is pretty busy those days sucking lolly-pops.

Their favorite tent-mate is back from furlough—Sergeant Wibble. He can toll us Rome of his true story tales about bowling. The Harmony Eight will soon rejoice in the return of Corporal Lavelle, oth erwise known as the Caddy. It is his job io get his younger pets up for reveille. Private Akers is using his pipe since his return from New York. He has got to save up his pennies. Our favorite daily visitor to our tent, Corporal Jack Greely, ought to get wise to himself and bring us a pail of coal. He raises more racket than the whole harmony eight, so we got to put a tax on him.

Any evening along Pennsylvania-av or in any park, especially olong the Potomac, you’ll see any number of khaki uniforms minus shoulderstraps, but plus a lady friend. In restaurants, colonels, majors, generals and captains have to wade tnroug dinner without feminine chatter. And maybe, at the i.ext table, a young private will have two ore three girls doing their very best to keep him entertained while he stows away nis share of the eats. It seems not. especially difficult for a ycung fellow from the west t«» get ac quainted with a girl war worker here while h*'s i. Washington, but the colonels must have forgotten how they did that when they were younger. A seeing-Washington car just went up I ennsyivania-av. The first eight or nine seats were filled with private soldiers and their girl friends. On the last seat sat four officers, with not a single ladj <o smile upon them. REASON NO. I—The girl doesn’t look for the insignia or rank upon the should er when she meets a uniform, and a sol dier s a soldier to her, be he general or private. REASON NO. 2—The officers, as a rule, are older, and most of them are too busv thinking about a wife and kiddies back home to dote on moonlight strolls along the Potomxc I’.Xi EPTION—It is not thus when you get near the French High Commission headqu.-.rters.
