THE SPEEDWAY FLY 1 f

( Chow On Ship A bald-headed, sawed off xt * comes running down the hat r - way yelling “chow!" He knc s he only has time it twi , and then run for his life. Wt a men on a troop transport or/?eat twice a day, they are bou l to be pretty hungry. After you fight your way tr i the smelling, sweating bodies -f men to the deck, you find yo- - - self in a chow line, which reac' :s from one end of the ship to ' ? other. It’s your only chance food though, and you know ycu have to get it so you roll up yc r sleeves and sweat it out You soon become used to getting stepped on, kicked, and shoved around. You even overco e your timidity about shoving snd kicking back. When a man i front of you goes too slow, you keep nudging him with -yc -,r knee, however, if the man a back of you is rushing too much you turn around and acidentr ? sink the point of your elbow i his ribs about four inches. If you survive the line, y:u find yourself going down tr.e hatch to the mess hall. You wc to be ready when you go by the food counter, so on your w y down the steps you try to open your messkit, which slips front your dutch, and after a “dor -/* on a head below, clatters to the platform just off the mess hall. The mess hall is divided irta two equal parts with a serv :g counter in one end and brea? - high tables in rows running ' ’.e length of the hall bordered and separated by very narrow ais s. You work your way up to ' e serving table with great expec - tions and then you get a look at the “beat up” slosh they refer o as food, so you hold out mess-/', shut your eyes, and run thror.rh the line, hoping they don’t get too much of the stuff in the me ss-

kit. On your way to the table there are several evils that can be ll you. One is to slip on a wet s~ st on the floor and bounce abut on your head for a while, the other evil happens only w ?n there is soup. Yon get toe s p in your cup, which most of le time is used for coffee, and q: he absent-mindedly you hold y .ir cup out to the KJ*, who is “dishing out” the sugar, and the sc up is ruined. By the time you w-sh your cup and get more soup, he meal that was luke-warm w ?n you started is stone cold. The absence of heat makes the s' ff that would otherwise taste 1c ?y, taste lousier. But hunger is a v -y uncomfortable feeling, so : u cram it down. I have never tasted garbage, but I don’t underst d how it could taste much wors . If you have an eye for the future you will save a piece of meat and go back for “seconds” on bread. With these you make a sandwich, which you wrap a toilet tissue and smuggle out a one of your pockets. Some of toe men have lx ea known to hold these meals, but usually you go up and join e rest of toe gang at the rail, and throw your stomach overboard if not yourself.

Extra Money For War Bonds Buy Now For Use In World Of Tomorrow War-time savings accounts are for the most part represented by the bond purchases of the individual worker. Despite the fact that many of us are earning more than ever before, when final victory is won, our war bonds will be about all that most of us wiF have to show for our war-time jobs. If we will forget for a minute our obligation to our government and fighting men, and look at bond purchases in a completely selfish manner, we can arrive at but one conclusion: that the purchase of bonds will be at least a first payment on personal postwar security. Bond buying is saving money, and getting a good return on it, too. This cash that is put away in bonds we can always get, if necessary, to meet sudden needs or emergencies. Tomorrow this money will buy toe things that we cannot buy today. New radios, new cars, washing machines, refrigerators, and thousands of new products will be available for our comfort and convenience, once this war is over. Our bonds we buy now will buy these things for us in the world of tomorrow.
