MY MARINES, by Phyllis Allen. Now sit down folks and listen, I've some news to relay. I've got a letter from Charley, He became a sergeant today.

Yes, he became a sergeant, Isn't it perfectly swell? But whatever Job he tackled, He always did it well. Yes, he became a sergeant, And soon he'll be something more. He's finally getting up there, He finally topped the score. But he'll still go right on fighting, No matter what his stripes. He'll go on fighting for freedom, And the precious Bill of Rights.

But there are thousands like him, He's not the only one. Yet it Isn't right he's a sergeant, For he's our baby son. I have another uncle, I heard from him today. He didn't make a sergeant, But I love him anyway. He didn't make a sergeant, He's only private first class.

But stripes make little difference, With us he'll always pass. Captain, colonel, general, Or private in the line, The battle he's fighting is worthy, His battles were always mine. he's only a lowly cog, In the wheel of all that's fair. But his ambitions are always high, A hero's badge he'll wear. Yes, to us he's O.

K. With Uncle Sam he'll pass. Although he's not a sergeant, And only private frist class. FROM SEELEY LAKE. K.

MAIN Africa, once so distant that even the wings of the imagination could not be spread to bring it within bounds of reality, now seems near, and to Missoulians it will come closer still when they know that somewhere in its vast reaches an American ship flown by an Amer ican pilot and named "Miss Missoula" is fighting their fight. Lieutenant William F. Schottel- korb, who has been in Africa for Lieutenant Schottelkorb. some time now, has written his parents, Mr.

and Mrs. William J. Schottelkorb of 315 Blaine street, one of those soldier letters that do much to give substance and color to the stay-at-home civilian's conception of the far land where so many American men are fighting. Congratulated by Doolittle. Pridefully, the flyer reports, "Our squadron has done some great work and we have been especially congratulated by Major General J.

Doolittle. We have been in the thick of things in this part of the world and everything is OK, so don't worry." At this Juncture he put in the interpolation about his ship "Miss Missoula, my means of transportation, hasn't been scratched since 1 left March field; It is one of the very few, originals still with us." Yankee Ingenuity. In Africa as well as elsewhere, Yankee ingenuity finds its usual opportunities for display. It was apparently exhibited by the American flyers who, tired of standing in the evening wind, decided to do something about it. The something turned out to be the construction of a clubhouse, of which Lieutenant Schottelkorb wrote: "After spending many an evening standing out in the wind, the pilots got together and decided to build a club.

This is what resulted: "We dug a hole in solid ground 30 feet long, 15 feet wide, four and one-half feet deep on one side. We made a well four more feet higher by use of empty five-gallon gas cans, using these for the ends and sides. The wall was two and three cans high. Around all of this the dirt was banked to the top. Then two-by-fours and canvas provided a slanting roof, and a double door for the entrance.

"The prize feature of the club," the writer went on to relate, "is the fireplace. This we constructed from large stone blocks. We were very lucky for it draws perfectly. We have a mantel; It Is larger than our fireplace at home and we can handle large logs. "In one corner we have a tropical 1 IS YOURS AT NO EXTRA COST!

Convention Will Open on Monday The Montana State Council of Carpenters will open a three-day convention in the city at Union hall Monday morning, H. K. Powell, lo cal seertary-treasurer, said Saturday. Mr. Powell stated that he expected an attendance of at least 75 dele eates from state locals.

Sawmill employes will meet with the convention group to discuss re lated problems. Rufus M. Jones is president of the Missoula carpenters' local. State President George Yeager of Great Falls and E. A.

Barnett, state secretary-treasurer of Anaconda, are expected to attend the meeting. Three More Join Navy During Week Three Northwestern Montana men were enlisted in the Navy this week through the Missoula re cruitine station.

There was no time Tost In putting the club to the use for which it was intended, for the letter goes on to state that "this was a busy place New Year's eve." Lion's Skin Is Rug. The club's decor included a lion's skin on the floor in front of the fire. The writer does not say where it came from, nor did he ex plain where the stones, logs, etc, that were used in construction were secured. "Several easy chairs," he added, "complete the picture, not to mention a short-wave radio with wnich we get good reception from England and the States.

"Around the walls we have signs paintea in yellow ana black on wood such as 'The Brighest Spot in Darkest Africa and 'Women Especially and our Walt Disney insignia. "Now," the writer observes with satisfaction, "we have a place to relax and be comfortable." Arabs Out-Traded. Commenting on the Arabs, Lieutenant Schottelkorb relates an episode that is cut more to the pattern of the average conception of Africa. He wrote: "The Arabs are very friendly as I said before and they are great traders." Here again, however, Yankee shrewdness has been brought to bear, for the letter says, "But once in a while they get swindled. Someone gave one of them a shiny English penny for a chicken.

The Arab thought it was When he found out it wasn't he came back to get his chicken, but it was already over the fire. So he sat on his burro and cried like a baby, his feet touching the ground." Christmas and New Year's dinner menus both included turkey, but nobody got any packages at the African post, a circumstance which the men accept philosophically, the writer stating "I guess that was too much to expect, but they will come some time." Christmas day weather was "rainy and low" and not like Christmas. Nights Are Cold. Those who think of Africa as a place of unremitting heat will find contradictory information in the officer's statement, "It is getting quite cold these last few. days and last night the water froze in my canteen and there was a very heavy frost on my tent." Lieutenant Schottelkorb, who was named in a recent news dispatch from the African front as having participated in an engagement, concluded his letter to his parents with a request that he would like a few Missoulians or Sentinels.

Robert Schottelkorb, about whose progress his brother made inquiry, is in the Primary Air corps at Camp Grider, at Plnebluff, where he went December 14 for special training that will lead to a commis sion in the air forces.

1 The Fable Of the Old Town a 'NCE on a time there Until you've worn the new Transparent Dental Plates with Translucent Trubyte Teeth, you'll never appreciate the real meaning of comfort and smart appearance. These new dentures are light in weight, yet sturdy enough to serve the hardest biters. Carefully molded for a perfect fit and to retain the natural expression of youth and LIFETIME GUARANTEED a water supply adequate for all the townsfolk's needs. Then, one day, along came a big army. The army took over the town pump and soon had virtually exhausted the supply.

It became necessary for the people to prime the pump in order that their needs and those of the army could be met. After a while the army went away, their mission completed, and the town pump returned to normal, supplying adequate water for the townsfolk's needs. The moral to this fable is: Buy War Bonds NOW, to prime the pump and keep it going, so we can have a quick return to normal. nLUNCS 'j CBOWNS INLAYS KUDGEwoRf nirja; PLArEwoRi X-RAY EXTRACTION cmru urt SPA3 YOU'LL FIND IT AT ICOSIIER'S fl Western Montana's I aJy OLDEST HARDWAR Large enough to serve youyet ADMttl. crrr ATI.
