DRESS INSPECTION! - PAGE 11

Some notes from the last issue of the Prairie Schooner.


















OUT OF THE G. I. CAN


In the parlor there were three -

She, the table lamp, and he.

Two is company, there is no doubt

So the table lamp went out!


Suzie: "With all the good men in the armed services, it's pretty hard looking for a husband these days."
Que: "Just the same, if I were you, I'd leave the husbands alone and look for a single man."


TRAINEES RECEIVE SWIMMING INSTRUCTION FROM CHIEF BIDWELL


In accordance with the navy's policy that every sailor shall be a swimming man, the Wahpeton swimming pool at Chahinkapa Park is being used exclusively by the men stationed at the U.S. Naval Training School (MM), Wahpeton, N. D., each weekday morning. Expert instruction in the art of swimming is being given by Chief Bidwell and it is expected that every non-swimmer will soon be able to pass the Navy Standard Swimming Test.

In order to pass the Navy swimming test, each sailor must swim 50 yards.


ATTENTION

Men, here's a real bargain! Here's a chance to save five cents every time you go swimming during liberty! If you will stop in at the Ship's Service Store before going on liberty, you can purchase a swimming tickets for only TEN CENTS. THAT'S A SAVINGS OF ONE WHOLE NICKLE. If you wait until you get to the pool, it'll cost you fifteen cents.
