BARRACK BUNK CORN CRACK BY PFO ACK-ACK Of Dice and Mens: Pfc (Plenty Fine Craps) Walt Scherlieb suffered reverses when the Afrikan golfballs just couldn't seem to understand his brand of Ubangi. Walt's Lucky 7s were as scarce as 72 hour passes. 'One for the Dice Committe. Pvt Hannes Yngve, man or mess? This Nowegian appleknocker recently renovated his footlocker. Had more stuff suffed in it than you could inventory in a month of Sundays. Looked cheesy till he got queasy at the idea of inspection and reformed by eathing the edibles he had horded there. 'Yngve is a mouse! Pvt Paul Mazur, roster guard, is a Thorne "Topper" Smith addict. As a result of his fantastic adventures at RC he is contemplating writing a satire entitles "Night Life of the Guards". At 10c an hour on a type-o-matis in the Chaplain's office, he might break even on a sale of such a manuscript. We suggest, tho, he get a portable. If he marketed the original, and it proved successful, he coul produce a sequel. 'Typer Takes a Trip'! Pfc Lyman Tiger, the ex-Brooklyn lodger who now shares our swampland reveals he used to be a bit of a newspaperman, doing a column called "Lyman's Lemons". Hopes to publish a paper himself, when the lites come on again all over the world. ' Tiger Rag. We record this witticism by Pvt Art Speer of Records Section. His description of a civilian getting a cup of coffee these ir-rational days truly is a work of Art: ' Sighted Java - drank same" To which Pvt Joe Kerr adds the way a civvy would report getting a piece of pigskin on a meatless day: 'Sau-sage ...ate same. Orchids to Cpl Isaac Asension for his smooth soothing of the sullen sailor offpost. "Violence is the last resort of the incompetent" stated the cool Cpl when interviewed after masterfully evoiding what might easily have been a nasty bit of assualt and battery. 'A salt - and flattery! Ackermann Publications announces that "Imagi-Music"'s schedule for 1943 has been decided. It will appear quarterly and will be between fourteen and sixteen pages per issue. --------------- SCIENCE-FICTION WRITERS, ATTN! In the December, 1943 issue of "Author and Journalist" there appears one of the best articles on plot and slant analysis that it has been your reporter's privilege to read. Richard O Lewis, is a stf writer and what he says in this article is more often than not learned the hard way. If you cannot secure "A & J" at your stand, write for the Dec issue to: Miss Margaret Bartlett - editor Author and Journalist, 1837 Champa St, Denver, Colorado. --Henry Ackermann
