Bravos for the soldier-entertain-
ers who performed with profes
sional flair last Monday Tuesday
and Wednesday nights at Theatre
No. 1. (We attended Tuesday ra
ther reluctantly but stayed on to
cheer and returned eagerly the
next night for the finals.) Certain
ly the applause must have been
an inspiration although each per
former could not be a winner he
had a ball doing what comes nat
urally.
Spurred on by the professional
whip of Bob Fitch as the Master
of Ceremonies the shows rolled
on in snappy style. No act was
dull. No performer lacked skill.
The ingredients that sold many of
the acts were selection of mater
ial and showmanship.
Showmanship is that mysterious
ingredient that sells an act. Al
ready the top performers had
blended it into their entertain
ment medium. Perhaps one of
them will make the big time later
CHEMISE is the name of the dress modeled by Mrs. Onge-
borg Smith at the combined luncheon and style show held at
the Officers' Open Mess Tuesday March' 6. Material for
the dress is black and white cotton print. It is set off by
an orange colored hat and the fashionable tote bag.

Fighters
For Health
AN EDITORIAL
Those of us who enjoy good
health rarely take time out to con
sider what a tremendous job it
is to keep Americans healthy and
to care for those who are not.
We have to remind ourselves
from lime to time that millions of
our neighbors are voluntarily
fighting for us every day year
in and year out. They're enlist
ed in a battle against our worst
peacetime enemies disease and
crippling conditions which afflict
millions of Americans and kill
thousands. We owe them a lot of
gratitude.
As all of you well know good
health is a vital- element in our
national defense. But to keep our
selves and our country strong and
healthy we have to help theose
who have been fighting your bat
tle against disease for many years.
.the devoted doctors scientists
health workers and volunteers who
are dedicating their hours and
efforts to our great national volun
tary health agencies.
We can help them with a contri
bution to the Federal Service Cam
paign for National Health Agen
cies which will be conducted
liere from March 19 to April 30.
Each member of the Armed
Forces and each employee in the
Federal Services will receive a
contribution envelope if he
has not already received one—
and the President asks everyone
to contribute.
This campaign is endorsed by
President Eisenhower under the
Federal policy which combines a
number of drives in one solicita-
tion and which insures private
voluntary giving. Under this pro-
gram you may give to the agen-
cy or agencies of your choice as
listed on a designation card sup-
plied you.

Singer-Actor Neal Nixon
A first-place winner (vocal solo
category) Specialist Third Class
Neal B. Nixon late of Tulsa Ok
lahoma says his Army career
has turned out to be a proving
ground for his many interests.
For example although he was
a soloist and actor in high school
(Will Roger H.S.) and at Tulsa
University it was in the Army
and especially at Fort Hood that
he has tapped out what he can
do well.
His singing and showmanship
on "Oklahoma" won him first
place. But he gives credit to
singing each Sunday in chapels
usually the 2 AD chapel. He also
credits the Little Theatre Group
where he has actively participat
ed in past productions.
At the finals of the Entertain-
The national spotlight will be
on libraries through radio and
television newspaper and mag
azine articles special library pro
grams during National Library

ment Contest as an "extra" he
was encouraged to be Abe Lin
coin in dress and in the voice
of his "Gettysburg Address." The
audience responded enthusiastic
ally to his famous lines. Neal said
it was a challenge and that he
felt he was Abe.
Neal is taking the part of the
leading character Ben Rumson
in "Paint Your Wagon" which
is the April production of The
Little Theatre Group.
Neal plans to finish his educa
tion after his Army discharge at
Tulsa University for a degree in
business administration. At least
those are his present plans. Per
haps he'll get farther into the
theatre movement—we shall see
Girl Scouts
If you had been quizzed by
national Gallup poll last year as
to what do Girl Scouts do would
you have done .better than the 66
per cent of Americans who con
fided that they had no idea as
to exactly- what the Girl Scouts
do?
All last year if you have read
Dorothy Fisher's Girl Scouts col
umn in the Sentinel you will be
pretty well informed about the
many many activities of the Fort
Hood Girl Scouts. Girl Scouts
have fun. They learn skills. They
render services. They develop
friendships. These spread into
International Girl Scout friend
ships.
Girl Scouts is a volunteer or
ganization from top to bottom.

"You Can Count On Her"
Taking the theme of Girl Scout
week "You Can Count on Her'
Chaplain (First Lieutenant) Quen-
tin O. Hayes paralleled the life
of Deborah the patriot woman
whom the Israelite nation could
count on. She heard God's voice
did what was revealed unto her
and trusted God for a victory
Deborah was the difference be

Thrift Shop
Thrift Shop's annual clean-up
last Wednesday was ringing up
with sales when a male customer
approached a Thrift Shop volun
teer.
"Where's the fishing tackle you
advertised for sale?"
"Fishing Tackle?"
"Yes you know advertised on
the poster in the PX?
"Oh—that—" then a light flick
ered. "You mean the ad with a
fish that read "Are you fishing
for a good bargain?"
"Yes that one!"
The Thrift Shop may not have
had tackle to sell that day but
they certainly are fishing for
items to sell now from fishing
tackle to fry pans to chest of
drawers bookcases sofas chairs
tables play pens dishes rugs
long coffee tables roll-away beds
occasional tables electric coffee
pots one or two burner hot plates
desks sports equipment and as
we said fishing takle.
Friendship is the gift of the
gods.
And the most precious boon to
man." Disraeli 1855.
One post group that seeks out
the essence of friendship and in
vites others to sip its brew is the
Protestant Womens Guild in their
Friendship Coffee tomorrow at
9:30 a.m. at the Religious Edu
cation Center (building 442).
All Protestant women on post
and in Killeen are invited civil
ian and military.
Mrs. Heflin Miller of Killen who

Woman" has a reputation as a
stimulating speaker.
Come there are plenty of cups
and friendship waiting.
