CASABLANCA CENTER OF I-B MAIL DELAY The current mail delay from the Theater is due to a bottleneck at Casablanca, where an estimated 12 tons are being held, Lt. Col. A. E. Adamson, Theater Postal Officer, said this week. It is not known when this situation will be cleared up, Adamson said. The mail tie-up is due to the number of former POW's, internees, and hospital patients being flown to the States. Mail has second priority at Casablanca. |

TUTU A pert ballerina named Lulu In Boston performed in a tutu; But the cops were on hand, And her dance quickly banned - The froufrou of her tutu was too too. - Capt. EUGENE B. VEST Ledo |
A NIGHT IN CHINA I sat by the window And watched The moon - pale, bright, lustrous With the polish of antiquity And eternal time And down from the heavens Roared another brightness Daring to challenge the incandescence Of Diana Man-made, this winged monster poured forth a beam Searching for surface On which to rub its rubberized wheels - casting a ray to defy The wonder That had entranced man since time immemorial |
For he, too, had returned from a trip Across the sky And he had returned. Come back to the security of earth Come back from a voyage of carnage But he had gone because He wanted a world A world where man once more Could look upward Unafraid Knowing that its calm serenity Would never more be disturbed By beasts That would try to blot that light From their eyes. - S/Sgt. MORTON H. DORCHIN China Theater |
