"Tell Me That You Love
Me Junie Moon" by Marjorie
Kellogg. 216 pages. Farrar
New York (1968). $4.95.
When two men and a woman
moved into the crumbling house
next door Sidney Wyner could
only surmise that such a trio
would be up to no good.
Why just the thought of a
disfigured woman a crippled
man in a wheelchair and a
man who walked with a strange
gait living together raised all
sorts of possibilities.
So daily he watched the three
he he a
pa at he
Dutifully he reported all in
cidents—real and imagined—to
his wife. She couldn't have
cared less.
There were no bonds between
the three occupants of the
house—Junie Moon disfigured
by a deranged lover Warren
banished to the wheelchair
because of a childhood accident
and Arthur given to walk in
the strangest of ways because
of a progressive neurological
disease.

What held them together was
the fact that they had all been
released from the hospital at
the same time and '"because
they had nowhere else to go
decided to live together."
In a wispy crisp and moving
style Majorie Kellogg relates
the drama of these three
loveable yet unusual figures
and the hope love and faith
they give to each other.
Of course the hope faith and
love are in small portions. What
they really give each otherand
all the people who enter their
world in larger doses are daily
headaches.
Miss 11 g' charac
terizations of the three main
figures in her first novel make
the book fairly sparkle.
Interweaving the present with
glimpses of the past she has
a way that holds the reader
to the book.
From the beginning at the
hospital until the end at the
house with the great banyan
tree in the backyard we live
with and become endeared to
Arthur Warren (Miss Kellogg
never gives the two males
surnames) and Junie Moon.
A must on the reading list
of anyone who appreciates fine
fiction the novel tempts one
to say at its end: I love you
Junie Moon.

Orange was bright but he
also had slept through his
courses in Irish Literature
and Mythology I so he wasn't
all that bright. He agreed to
release Pfc. O'Connor in ex-
change for that in

remembered of course he
would have realized that
although leprechauns promise
the pot of gold it is ac
ceptable to use all the fun

as on am a a

gold.
Therefore after a quick
forced march to the given grid
coordinates a clump of trees
all with gold ribbons
was discovered. To make a
long story short Orange cried
a great deal into his green
beer that evening.

The soldier stuffed his
fatigues covered with mud from
the field and grease from the
motor pool into a laundry bag.
Three days later at guard
mount the clean well-
pressed appearance of these
same fatigues would help the
soldier become supernumerary.
The transformation took place
at the Ft. Hood Laundry.
The lauundry's "raison
d'etre" is service to Ft. Hood
enlisted men and the post's
medical facilities. For a $4.60
monthly payroll deduc
tion a soldier can have up to
26 pieces of clothing washed and
pressed each week. Or he can
bring his laundry to a self-
service counter at a piece rate.
Sheets from his unit supply
done in washers handling 750
per load blankets pillows mat
tress covers sleeping bags and
shelter-halves are all cleaned
there as well as baker's whites
worn by the cooks. Each day
Darnall Army Hospital sends in
1000 to 1500 sheets plus the
special wearing apparel of the
medical staff.

to a relative sparsity of com
mercial laundries replacement
parts for equipment cannot be
easily secured nearby. Since
delay waiting for replacements
from the factory would be
disastrous the laundry stocks
thousands of parts.
Insuring the smooth flow of
30 to 40 thousand pieces of laun
dry a day is the administrative
section's job. They maintain
records on every piece pro
cessed and set up turn-in
schedules for the 250 to 325 units
whose laundry is done each
week. Seldom is anything lost
or damaged. If it is the laundry
replaces it.
The administrative section
also insures that priorities are
followed. "The number one
priority the purpose of the
plant" according to manger
Herbert E. Brice "is service
to the enlistd man."

'Mister Old Ironsides" Lt. Col.
Herman C. White Spt. Cmd.
executive officer said as he
thought about the possibility of
his having served more time
in the 1st Armd. Div. than any
other present member.
White who will be leaving
for a three year tour of duty
in Germany later this month
has been with the 1st Armd.
Div. four out of the last five
years.
The 36-year-old Elaine Ark.
native was first assigned to the
division in 1964. He was the
operations and training officer
of III Corps for more than a
year.
Returning from an assignment
in Vietnam Col. White rejoined
the division as training officer.
He performed this duty for 19
months before serving eight
months as the 73rd Artillery's
executive officer. He has been
the executive officer of Spt.
Cmd. for the last five months.
'The 1st Armd. Div. is like
home to me since I've been
here so long" White said.
I've enjoyed my stay in the
division and it has been both
challenging and rewarding. I've
learned a lot."
