A WISE OWL
Well Si I'm off to a bad start |
in 1946.

Year's eve laffs bat why should I |
tell tales and get a lot of my
friends in Dutch?

Somebody pulled the
one of cur gates and threw them
all over the place. I wonder if the
young chap who did it doesn’t like
me? The funny part of it was I
was watching him from the inside
at 3:30 a. m. and he didn't even
know it. Good that his buddies
came along and took him in charge
as he just insisted on taking sone
of the bulbs off a Christmas tice.
If the fellow wants to replace the

Did you read the account of an
accident which read: ‘““The operator
be of the car, charged with drunken
' driving, crashed into Mrs. Jones’
rear end which was sticking out
into the road?”

FOR MEN NOW
Men now in the Army who re-
enlist before February 1 will
be reenlisted in their present
grade. Men honorably dis-
charged can reenlist within 20
days after discharge in the
grade they held at the time of
discharge, provided they re-
enlist before February 1, 1946.
There's a long list of attractive
reenlistment privileges in the
new Armed Forces Voluntary
Recruitment Act of 1945. The
ability to keep your present
grade is only one of them, but
this privilege expires on
January 31.
There are plenty of other
reasons why many thousands
of men have enlisted, and more
thousands are enlisting every
day. You'll certainly want to
know all of the opportunities
open to you. If you'll read
them carefully, you'll know
why a job in the new peace-
time Regular Army is being
regarded today as “The Best
Job in the World.”
