A “G-EYE VIEW
OF NOME
By CPL. W. D. STARNB8

By CPL. W. D. STARNES
Yes, sir! . . .The wind blew and
the snow hit the earth in flur
ries covering many a GI parka
last week A lot of changes have
been going on of late too. No
tably was the return to the throne
of First Sgt. Lester Gikttristl
who has been living between the
sheets over at the hospital these
past few weeks. He looks good
too and it’s kind of interesting
to hear him reiterate a few of
those “tall tales” once again.
For those of you who have no
ticed that recent change in chat
ter over the air waves, the voices
belong to a pair of announcers
vacationing m the army under
the names of Jack Knox and
Frank Trompeter . . . both swell
guys and “fresh from the States”.
It wouldn’t be right not to men
tion the new man currently
knocking out a few of those tas
tier radio scripts . . his name
is Bill Wmn, hails from Juneau
Jand is doing a fine job.
Those “Zombies” that you’ve
all seen walking around lately
are the boys just back from fur
loughs in the States. Yep! Still
in a daze. We’ve been getting
the real lowdown on things at
home from Tech. Sgt. Fay Stur
devant, Cpl. Edward Freiberg,
Tech. Sgt Emil Gabdgyl, Cpl.
George Rager, Pvt. Melvin Lewis
and a host of ethers There
should be a lot more dope forth- i
coming in the near future from '
others such as Sgt. Raymond
Staff Sgt. “Rube” Trogdon and
a few others now sojourning.
A real “beehive” of industry
and activity these days and far

into the night is the new Non
Commissioned Officers’ Club now
nearing completion. Those boys
are really pouring on the steam
and from the way things are
shaping up, this new hangout
should be quite the stuff. The
finishing touches are being ap
plied by volunteer workers from
the NCO ranks on the post and
those boys deserve a lot of credit
for the way they’re getting
things done. If you think I’m
kiddin’, just ask my good friend
Master. Sgt.. "Duck” Wyatt how
it feels to be an overtime steve
dore.
The new Service Club is also
just about ready for the grand
opening. ,With| the recent ac
quisition of new furniture a
plenty . . . especially those
roomy overstuffed chairs, sittin’
space for those “bull sessions”
during the long winter evenings
will definitely be at a premium,
not to mention the snack bar
which soon will be shoving across
sandwiches and cokes into wait
ing hands.
All summed up, things are
| looking plenty rosy lately, so if I
you don’t enjoy yourself this '
| winter you’d better keep those
eyes open wider and slow down
i a bit. It’s there to be had for |
everyone from the top-ranking j
i officers down to the hard-work- j
| ing privates.
