    GOSSIP HERE AND THERE Call us rank-conscious (there's no "ly" on that) if you will, butpardon us for licking the old chops and 'starting off Issue No. 8 bjquoting from a Majorrs fan letter - FRANCIS J. SKI Dr.but now somewhere in England", takers valuable timofor the "newsy Township Tattle. V/hile'Frank's litt.3tending the home fires and working for our local RedFrank is finding England the nearest thing to home--

    with natives who try to make the life of "our boys"possible. Here's that "nest" you're looking forwardwaiting.My I My I how time flies - here's .a note fron FRED LEGG3TT who,. accord-ing to the Navy, is now a seaman 2/c - They ccn't- fool us, Freddie, be-cause it Seems only yesterday that you,were whipping around'Short Hillson'your bike in knickers and that . cheery "hello, Mrs.1 ".always put you in the first class grado A--departnent with us. "Fred graduatesnext month and then leaves Newport for points'unknown, but ho hopos tomeet the enemy face to face soon. Incidentally, wo can't help noticingthat the N:.'vy keeps the Leggott nose buried in books at both classroomsand labs, which is something a long line of exclusive schools neverachieved.

    Another thanks to DAVE V/OLFE who is now busy at the Hawthorne Schoolof Aeronautics in Orangeburg, S.C. He writes that the "Tattle" is onething he looks forward to every month..CLARENCE B. HOKE JR. P.F.C. U.S. Army (and by the way that'spretty snazzy stationery, Clarence) deserves orchids or some more uso-ful prize for writing us all the way from Africa. Clarence tics forthe long distance record with his thanks. Ho must nevo felt like adebutante, because in on e mail "The 4th and 5th issues of our ever-in-creasing volume" arrived, plus five letters from iii.s fatally, a cartonof Chesterfields and ten other pieces of mail "from other sources"hcart interest, Clarence? Also, P.F.C. Hokc got his hands on the New-ark Evening News of October 13 and it was just like being at home

    - 2 -iWILLIAM POZNANSKI S 2,c evoidontly wants to bo alone. Bill is cool-ing his hools at Camp Bradford, Va, and, as of January first, "Mud ,' mud,mud, is the order of the day. .frionover ho gots liberty he goes intoNorfolk, but it ' s tho same old ctory--"Too many pooplo around." If ourmemory doesn't fail us (don't worry", it never does)''Bill is the strongsilent type who used to trap muskrats with King Irwin and Bub Sohroiberin more peaceful days(Hartshorno Woods to you).

    "Hello, girls", yourself, CORP. 'V. II, xTKITlIAN. Seeing as how theaddress is care of the Service Club, Camp Swift, Texas, the "Swift"makes us wonder if i t ' s Harry Roitman, that killer diller of formerdays. How about it Corporal? Anyhow, he has just been transferred toM.P. Bn. (which makes absolutely no sense to our un-railitary minds) andis near Austin, capital of the state and location of the University ofTexas. W H. Reitman misses Millburn and particularly the Paper-millPlayhouse. They're both stil l hero, so hurry back soon, and thanks forwriting us,CADET RICHARD F. MEYER is now at the Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland, aft orlots of training and traveling since he entered tho service in August.

    Certainly, wo remember you, Dick. In fact, how could we ever forgetthat session of trying to "watch the birdie" while you wore takingmovies of the A.W.V.S. and O.C.D. activities last May? Your best hasbeen forwarded to Mesdames Vcit, Drehor, and all tho others you usod toknowexcept for a large share which we've taken for ourselves, first.And heroes a cheery - and beautifully printed, we might add- letterof thanks from DICK SWEET, who gets his Tattle and other mail via thopostmaster in Now Orleans. Dick graduated in the upper third of a classof 90 men and he's now a qualified searchlight electrician. Sounds hardto your humble scribe who is easily baffled by a simple fuse. RecentlyDick and a group of pals wont on an'excursion deep into tho interiorof Louisiana and picked up a lot of local color enroute- beautiful pas*

    tol stucco homes slathered with old iron grillwbrk, and, farther out,old ruins; also several Chinese farms with the' owners working neat rowsof vegetables in wido-pcoked straw hots. Popping off o few largo snakesbroke the monotony and they finally ended up by swimming in n cold .v, stream. Hope you got back to your post on time, Dick, but oven if youdidn't, tho letter was worth it--to us.CORP M HANSON writes a long newsy note from 1,1cChord Field, Wash. .McFog Field, as far as he's concerned. Corporal Hanson got home on afurlough recently and although ho had a swell time, he is st i l l busytrying to regain the seven pounds ho lost. Evidently, tho heat andfood situation wore him down, but, as he saysquote "After wo turn thoheat on Schiklegruber we can turn it on ourselves again". As to the

    food, the situation (which wo don't mind now at all) wasn't oven notic-eable until he met it face to face. After trapping all over Millburnand points east in serach of a steak, he finally trapped on in Chatham,SGT. DONALD A. CONNER who is now an air cadet at Winfield, Kansashas certainly covered ground, and air, since ho entered the servicelast April. Don has gone from Randolph Field to Kelly Field, and thento Muskogee, Okla. There he ran into some home-town draftees who wereat Camp Gruber. After Muskogee, Don travelled on to tho Army Air ForceBasic Flying School at Enid, Okla,, which lands"him at last in Winfield.At present he's cooling his heels and piling up flying time in his log,expecting to leave for an O.C.S. in Florida sometime this s.pring.Thanks for writing, Don, and take it easy,STAFF SGT.

Couldn't havo been luokior or ma&o him feel more at home, bo-cause he was in high school with Teresa Wright.

    S ROGERS, although our sleuths don't remind us whether he's Armyor Navy, is catching devil fish and other outsize numbers in his sparetime, we hear, so it certainly would be handier if Jim were a Navy man.To prove we're not the grumbling typo we'll think of him as AdmiralRogers until further notice.STEPHEN ROGERS, the Admiral's brother, is a travelling man for UndoSambo.

ROCCO MANTERINO We finally got your address from yoursister, but how about dropping the Tattle a card giving us the latest

    flash? Plenty of your old friends would like to hear from or about you,. Lucky.:And here's a personal touch from one of our most successful and t ire-less reporters "Micky" Bufo* Her notes are always fun to transcribe forOEtL.guys, but this is such a'dream we w ouldn't spoil a punctuationmark. "P.F.C. GEORGE MCFADDEN is in the Tank Div. at present and hetanks us a lot for our Tattle". Tanks George,, and Tanks, Micky, too.P.F.C.FREDERICK MISLKE spent a furlough at home early in December butnow that he's back in Camp, Fred spends mos,t of his time answering hisfan mail. Incidentally, Fred is one of the most missed men about town.Aside from his personal charm, Fred was his father's able assistant be-fore the Army lured him away. You'd be surprised how many groaninghearts and furnaces need your handy t ouch. Better come back soon, orthat kid brother will .be right in the groove as Pop's 1st and finesthelper, Fred,P.F.C. ANTHONY MAUCONE had a ten day furlough in January but it wastoo far to come home, so he decided to see his brother, PVT. RALPH atMarch Field, Calif. Tony hopes to curve around by San Francisco and .,"take in a few relatives en route. .PVT, JOHN DANIEL PETRILLO, 'Johnny to you lonely heart's of Millburn,was home for the holidays and decided to tour the neighborhood and sur-

    rounding country looking up all his old pfifls. Lucky you didn't gethome a month later or that plan would have washed out. Johnny, by theway, is a brother of our old friend PVT.

By the way, your brother,PVT. JERRY called up and says he's in the best of health.

    / Life is just ono maneuver after another for PVT. JAMES MONACO Jimmy \/ is in Puerto Rico and there is no time for recrea5ion. According to his \/ sister, Jimmy won't give out with any news at all, the old stingy. Par- \don us if we stop to play post- office by passing on a message from Dom- jinick Bufo. Dom says, via the Tattle "Do you remember that snow ball /\fight, Jimmy? Well, do what you did that day, to a Jap, for me".

    PVT. ANTHONY THOMAS is now overseas, a far call from hurling baggagearound thcD. L. & W Station, but hefty training, too. It would be apleasure to have a scoop of Tony tossing Nazis over his shoulder, andwe bet they're a lot more fragile, too.

    Another example of our shattered grey matter hasr.be$t& brought to ourattention by RAY LYON, who gently chides us for saying that MILTONSILANCE "enjoys army life" in the same December issue, as i t seems thatMilton and Ray were in the same class at Great Lakes Naval TrainingSchool????? (It ' s beginning to look as though we are going to have tochoke on the entire alphabet!)Besides all the above, in the selfsame "Tattle", i t appears that ourfoot managed to pop into our mouth when we opened the latter to say that"DOMINICK PETRILLO was fresh from Kaiser's Seda jerking grounds:l. *.Honr'-'estly, Dominick, we did not mean to infer that you were a "soda je.rker"instead of the able Pharmicist we know you to be...we only meant thatKaisers was also famous for i ts soda fountain (remember the mobs in theafter school rush?)..and we are indeed sorry to have caused you any em-barrassment by our foolish utterances.
