Carnival
ponies. Many dolls, pandas, rabbits, etc., were seen in the crowd, show- ing that booth was well patronized. An added attraction this year was the palm readers and that, too, re- ceived its share of attention. includ- ing young men about town, eager to learn their fate and fortune. The refreshment booth had quite a time getting supplies but came through with roast beef, roast pork and hair- burger sandwiches and hot dogs. Needless to say that booth had a very busy time of it. Popcorn and candied apples were quite a favorite too.
The carnival proved to be a mutual meeting place for some of our boys, home on furlough. Among these were Jackie Moran, Tracy and Bob Hazen, formerly of Coch tunte. Jim Bolton, Jr., David and Bob Allen, Bob Scotland, Robert Lewis and many others.
There was some excitement the last night, as the show was closing, when one of the ponies received a fright and ran away. In spite of a score or more chasing him until two a. m., the pony wasn't recovered until the following morning when Fred Perry went out to his pasture
after his cow. There was Mr. Pony lying nose to nose with Mrs. Cow. Some scandal !
It was a pleasure to have some of our new members working with us. Many thanks to Sandy Hardy, Fritz Schlosky, Jr., Joe Keefe, Perry Mar- ston, Jackie Smith and Roy Hallen- brook. We hope many more of you boys will be with us next year. You will sure be welcome. Thanks to Frank Carter, John Sullivan and Fred Sleeper for their help and to the ladies of our Auxiliary for their loyal support.
Many thanks to Mrs. Ed Lucier for the use of her records, making the music a varied program. - didn't say yes, and I didn't say no" seemed to be the theme song this year.
Last, but not at all least, we thank the townspeople for their patronage and support in making this event a successful one.

It's good news this time from Lt. Gertrude Martin, A.N.C., who has just been promoted to 1st Lt. Ger- trude sent word home that she is once again bound for home port. She has been a patient in a hospital with neuritis and because of this she is being sent home to a hospital in a southwestern state.
We feel sure, Gertrude, that as soon as you get back to the good southern climate of the U. S. A. that you'll soon be back on duty again.
Edward Burke, S 1/c, wants every- one to know he's getting the JEEP regularly and he thanks everyone for the War Bond that he won re- cently. Eddie wrote and asked us to put this in the JEEP for any of the fellows who might be near the U.S.S. SC-1275. "If any of you fel- lows ever see this ship, be sure and come over for some good chow. To-day (Saturday), we had fried chicken, french fried potatoes, cel- ery, hot rolls, apple pie, coffee, root beer and beer."
That chow sounds pretty good, Ed, but we bet you'd swap for just one of Casey's hot dogs!
Leland Robinson, R.T. 3/c, after spending four weeks in a hospital in Saipan with a leg injury, is recover- ing and hopes to catch his ship, for after all he is proud of it as his skipper just received the Bronze Star for bravery under fire in the face of overwhelming odds.

Pvt. Robert Scotland who has had a few days at home, has left for Camp Swift, Texas.
Some of the older men in the YD, 26th Div., those having 85 or more points, have been transferred to another unit, which means that eventually, and we hope not too far distant, it will disband and the men will be discharged. Among those men from this town in that category are the two Wilburs, Billy and Ralph, and Bill Marston.
Pfc. "Toot" Morrell arrived on one of the islands in the Philippine group about the first of July. The native women, he says, do a pretty good job of washing clothes consid- ering their method.

CHIT-CHAT COLUMN
Attention - Servicemen Every- where : When those four cronies, Fran and Johnnie Gallagher, Rich- ard Groton and Bill Scotland, got together they thought up this idea, which we are passing on to you. They thought, especially those in Europe, it would be nice to get the geographical location of the various outfits : if in a small town, give the nearest large city, and perhaps they might be able to contact a buddy or two, since the boys aren't as busy now as they were in the past.
What do you think of this idea? Who'll be the first to take up the suggestion? Send your opinion to the JEEP and give us your outfit and its location. Perhaps you would like to find some particular person or persons, so why not write a per- son to person note and it'll be pub- lished in the JEEP in the following issue. Is that an idea worth trying? The rest we'll leave to you.
From a letter from Pfc. Wm. V. Young, we quote : "Please extend to the editors my sincere thanks for the grand little paper, "The Jeep.' I await each issue eagerly and am very glad to read all the news about the home folks.
"I have been through Hitler's hideout, Berchtesgaden, and am now collecting cars and trucks from those without permits. At present we are driving from 6 A. M. to 2 A. M. the next morning and now I am driving a Mercedes formerly belonging to Goering. We have been searching the mountains for SS troops and I have been awarded two Bronze Stars, one for central Europe and the other for Germany."
Dear Editor :
Yesterday I received my 29 June copy of the JEEP and with much surprise saw that my name had been drawn for a bond. My most sincere thanks go to the donors, to the. JEEP, and to Joan Crimmin for "dipping into the fish bowl."
For the past several months I have received copies of the JEEP and although some have been delayed nevertheless they have all been most welcome regardless of when received. I find myself using the JEEP as a directory to locate fellows I have not seen for years. I had hoped that I might run across "Jim" Gallagher, Bob Scotland, or some of the many other school friends in their travels around Germany, but so far I have not been that fortunate.
