Most eagerly awaited announce-
ment of the week is S-Sgt. Frank

or not he is going to solidify New
York-Texas good neighbor rela-
tions by strolling down the aisle
as leading man in a wedding
piece. We have no doubt, Frank,
Fiorello would fly down for the
occasion. . . . Congratulations to
Lieut-Col. Lewis C. Heare upon
his promotion. ... We don’t know
whether the benign influence of
S-Sgt. “Pappy” Weber has any-
thing to do with getting his
“boys” promoted, but it is certain
that they do all right. This makes
a majority and a lieutenant-colo-
nelcy that have come to Pappy’s
dept. . . . Notice: The studies of
French, Spanish, shorthand, book-
keeping, arithmetic and algebra
will formally start in Ward B-20
on Monday evening, 14th Febru-
ary. Any member of the De-
tachment is welcome to attend.
There is no charge for any of the
courses. . . . Enlisted men of the
Medical Detachment are to be
congratulated upon the splendid
showing they made in the “March
of Dimes” drive, their contribu-
tion amounting to $117.38. That
money will do a lot of good, boys.
. ... At this writing, Sgt. Moore
is eagerly anticipating the arrival
of his wife, having been notified
of her advent by telegram. . . .
A feud is raging between T-5 Pat-
sy Adamo and Pfc. Tony Romano.
. . . Each claims that he is the
best loking male in the hospital.
. . .Pfc. Jonn Cahbot should take
warning and cut down his visits
to Dallas or he’s apt to find him-
self getting married. That would
be too bad because then he’d have
to give up his poker-playing.

Ms. Found in a Dog Sled
If the Brooklyn Dodgers should
happen to come up with a hai d-
hitting Eskimo catcher this
spring, you can thank Dixie
Walker, the people’s cherse, who
uncovered this rare find in the
distant Aleutians.
The pride and joy of all Flat-
bush didn’t mush all the way to
Alaska to scout Eskimos for
Branch Rickey, of course,, a.
though Good Brother Branch is
reported to have expended much
of his own valuable time in a
.fruitless effort to secure the seiv-
ices of Nanook of the North to
spell Paul Waner, the over-age
destroyer, in right field.
No, indeed. Dixie went north
with a baseball troupe composed
of himself, Frankie Frisch, Stan
Musial, Danny L i t w h i l e r and
Hank Borowy to. regale GIs sta-
. tioned there with baseball stor-
ies. He just ran into the Eskimo
catcher by accident.
It happened one night while
Frisch was giving his usual bread
and butter talk to a bunch of GIs
at a distant Aleutian base. Sit-
ting down front, on this happy
occasion, were two fierce-looking
Eskimos, one of whom kept wav-
ing his bear knife at Frankie.
The old Fordham Flash took
one look at the bear knife and
; .. then took himself out for a pinch-
hitter. He wigwagged to Walker,
who was sitting down on the end
of; tbe bench. . .
“Take over, Dixie, he said.
“These Eskimos think I’m a witch
doctor."’ _
Frisch’s appraisal of the two
native gentlemen seemed accur-
ate enough, for no sooner had
Dixie started to speak than the
Eskimos both broke into wide
smiles. They put away their bear
knives, leaned back in their seats
and jabbered delightedly. And
after the jaw session was over
they both descended on Dixie, of-
fering herring as gifts.
“Mumbo, jumbo,” said Dixie,
accepting the fish. “Want my au-
tograph?” .
“Thank you, sir, said one of
the Eskimos. “I’m a catcher my-
self.”
“And I’m a Dodger fan,” said
the other. “I’ve been one for
' years.”
Frisch, Walker, Musial, Lit-
whiler and Borowy spent two
months in the Aleutians, but
Dixie was the only one of the
five to come down with an Eski-
mo catcher. Frisch came down
with a lame back, however, and
Borowy came down with a head
cold. The trip’s big day for Mu-
sial was Christmas Eve, which he
spent marooned on a mountain.
The most embarrassing ques-
tion asked Walker by GIs in the
