Praying Pin-Up Girl!
_ »
AP Feature*
ATCHISON. Kas. — Much to
her surprise, Mrs. Cl nton Jan
sen, 20. pretty and a war bride,
has become a pin-up girl.
Hundreds of soldiers and sail
ors in this country and abroad
have written for her pic'ure,
kneeling in prayer before a Bible
and a picture of a soldier.
‘‘1 like the picture because it
shows the way I know my wife
feels", said one Navy censor.
The picture wasn’t especially
intended for the pin-up trade. Its
popularity was spontaneous.
Each mon'h Mrs. George Kaul
man, service mother for St.
Mark’s Evangelical Lutheran
church, and its pastor, the Rev.
Vance Baird, has been sending a
letter to all church members in
service.
They feared some religious
phrases might grow tiresome
with repitition and decided on a
picture to express the prayers of
the home folk for the fighting
men
So Mrs. Jansen was photo
graphed kneeling in prayer be
fore a low desk on which was an
open Bible and a framed picture
of an officer. It was simplicity
itslef. |
With the first mailing of the
next monthly letter came many
requests. The Navy censor noted
it while censoring the letters.
Army and Navy chaplains asked,
then church weeklies of several
denominations carried art cles
about the picture.
“Now we have sent 100 pictures
to chaplains or service centers for
reproduction and distribution and
thousands of personal requests
have been answered,” Mr. Baird
reported
Mrs. Jansen is wife of Pfc. Clin
ton Jansen, now stationed at
Camp Buckner. N. C. They were
married last June.

Radios Prove Treat
To Servicemen
(By Pvt. Ken Jerdon))
HEADQUARTERS. ALASKAN
DEPARTMENT — What do Alas
kan soldiers like next best to mail
from home?
The answer is easy. Ask any
soldier and he will tell you that
his radio is his next closest link
to the folks at home.
He can sit back and listen to
his radio and find out what the
folks at home are doing. And he
knows that they are still listen
ing—as he is—to many of the
same programs he heard before
he left home. It is through the
efforts of ‘he Armed Forces Ra
dio Service that he is able to
do this.
Stations set up by the AFRS
serve every outpost not reached
by commercial stations. Pro
grams are brought to GI’s both
by transcription and direct <e
broadcast.
Some of the stations operate in
small quonset huts with equip
ment that easily will fit into three
suitcases. These can quickly be
torn down, moved and set up as
the occasion demands. The more
permanent stations have almost
as elaborate equipment as the
average station in the States.
Only thing missing from the
program is the commercials.
Rebroadcast directly from the
States are up-to-the-minute news
and sports several times daily.
The strictly GI shows, produced
and transcribed especially for
the men in the service, compare
very favorably with the top com
mercial programs offered in the
Sta'es. The best of the film and
radio stars contribute to these
programs. Many of the pro
grams are built around requests
of the men, who write in and tell
AFRS what they want *o hear.
Added to these are the strictly
local programs, often written and
produced by the men themselves.
And there is no shortage of tal
ent. Many of the troops who op
erate the stations were top radio
men in civilian life.
