A 42-.V '- 1 '43 A MANPOWER: 1943 They're awfully conceited, Just horrid, my dear! But gosh, how I wish That a few were left here. I'm choosey no longer, Old, young, short or tall, The shortageis acute, girls, So God bless ,em all. 8 FRUSTRATION I write you a letter Almost every day, I Hatter your ego In every known way. I beg you to come To our Prom in June, But you can't get a furlough- At least not that soon. Who sits home alone With a torch burning bright, And kisses your picture Before bed each night?

So wherever they be, girls, Hip, hip, hoorayg Three cheers for the lads Of the U. S. A. JO AN ABISCH

Red plush chairs, soft and luxurious Like a bonfire on a cool Autumn evening Mixed with the odor of dried leaves and red hot Flames and black smoke curling up and up. Red hot Hames licking a deep blue sky Hot like a burning sun shining down on Dusty city streets before a cool Spring rain. Red plush chairs in a yellow room. Hot .... 10 evening SHEILA BRODY
