Michael Dennis Grajek is 8 pounds 10 ounces of he-ma- n. A first in history: TSgt Henry "Moe ' Schuler was the driver of the first Brooklyn bus to cross the Manhattan bridge! He may have given you a ride if you ever visited the Bowery, as his old run was from Flatbush avenue extension and Fulton street right down to the Bowery. This was all taking place in '29, so it looks as though Moe was one of the original Brooklyn Bums. (No insult intended, Moe!) This column would't be complete without some kind of a challenge.

Lovelorn Editor, kindly advise: would add to the problems of one of our men to name him in this episode, so he will remain anonymous. This Casanova lost no time in getting acquainted with one of the WAVES quartered in the civilian dormitories. He had also struck up quite a warm friendship with one of our WACs. Imagine his consternation when, while bowling at the base alleys last Sunday, he became aware that both of his were there. How he ever got out of that one we don't know. One could learn a lot from a fellow that can take a situation like that in stride. Or, I wonaer, aid nez It gal-frien- ds No longer are nurses the only "Women in White." The WACs at Base Operations are blossoming out in snazzy white coveralls with blue buttons.
