Dear Mr. Blackford:
Though it took some time for me to be-
come re-accustomed after my furlough to
the regular Army routine, especially get-
ting up at 0530, I managed to do that task
in about two weeks. Forgetting about th e
thrills, the pleasures and dates of Philly
proved much more difficult, however. I
still feel an occasional thrill when some-
thing happens or I see something which
reminds me of those grand ten days. Some-
how, they seem much more pleasant now
than when I first returned. But that is
probably because, lik e wine, memories im-
prove with age.
There really is so little of any novelty or
newness that I can tell, this letter will
have to be extremely short. Maybe it is my
imagination but the "chow" has improved
greatly. However, eggs still comprise the
greatest part of th e breakfast menu, much
to my disgust. I'd much rather have th e
chicken than the egg and would even be
glad to let the darn thing hatch under my
pillow in a fashion similar to that used
by one of De Maupaussant's characters.
After a week of comparative social in-
activity I began making regular visits to
the nearby town and also to some Service-
men dances in the area. A number of
WACs have recently improved the scenery ·
somewhat and so made the evening a bit
more pleasant for some fellows than pre-
viously. I still feel an attraction toward a
dress or skirt though probably th e WACs
have suffered no loss because of that. The
boys have established very friendly rela-
tions with the "soldiers" and we even had
part of a Battery of WACs at one of our
group parties.
The reason for the party was to present
our Top Sergeant with a gift marking his
30th anniversary as a soldi er in Uncle
Sammy's services. He is a swell egg, short,
stocky, extremely pleasant and even
friendly-for a sergeant.
The Regimental Commandi'ng Officer
made a very nice address in honoring us
by making the presentation and everybody
was thoroughly happy except the Sergeant,
who was extremely uncomfortable self-
conscious and a little tongue-tied i~ mak-
ing the proper response to the eulogies and
commendations.
Of course it rained in the middle of the
party, which was planned as an nnt,l"()rs
affair but wound up in our mess hall. Rain
always visits parties in this area. The WAC
officers who escorted the girls to the affair
seemed to make some nice contacts them-
selves, and with plenty of reason, for the
WAC boards did very well in choosing offi-
cer candidate material insofar as good
looks goes. The officers, who had agreed
to only infrequently visit the gathering, had
a party of their own in the midst of ours
when the grape·vine reports about the
WAC looies was passed around. The boys
didn't mind, however, because most were
occupied by their own little problems. I
learned, to my disappointment, that a
WAC non-com can be tough as a soldier
when issuing orders;, So I'll probably stick
to civilians. I don't. care for several days
of KP as an aftermath of a date.
During the past :week another chaplain
was assigned to us. · He is a Jewish Chap-
lain and held Friday services in the PX
where about 10 boys attended. In typical
army fashion the services were brief but
somehow he created an aura, an atmos-
phere fitted for religious matters. His brief
sermon was centered on "A Serviceman's
Faith" and left all of us with a more com-
plete understanding of what we should be-
lieve and believe in. The chaplain proved
a friendly fellow, easy to get along with and
affable in his gathering following the serv-
ices. In fact, most fellows agreed that even
a soldier benefits from some religious and
infinite·following contacts.

She had a fi gure lik e an hour glass and
she made every minute count. As she came
out of the restaurant a GI walked up to
h er and said : "Hello, sweetheart. How
about a little lovin'?"
"Are you," she inquired sternly, "in the
habit of saying that to strange wom en? "
" Yes," he replied.
" I'll b et you get a lot of slaps in th e

"I do ," he commented. " But you'd be
surprised how much lovin' I get, too."

Once upon a time there were seven
brothers. The first one was a lawyer and
the second one didn' t know a nythin g ei th er.
Th e third was a politician and the fourth
was a crook, too. The fifth was a banker
and the sixth occupied the cell next to him.
And the seventh was a bachelor like his
father.
