Travel Note

From London to Tahiti,
From Attu to Port of Spain,
From Bouganinville to Martinique,
You'll hear a new refrain:
From Frisco to Pearl Harbor,
The legend will appear
That during World War No. 2,
Mrs. Roosevelt slept here.

by Sgt. Jack N. Carl

Eleanor Roosevelt was a prolific traveler during the war.

Boogie Woogie Washerwoman

The Poets Cornered

I know a little native gal

From down Moresby way

She coudln't hold a candle

To the babes way up by Lae

She's homely and she's ugly

With a ring through her nose

But she's the one I love

Because she washes all my clothes!
