GIs Add Plugs
To Fifth Army
RadioProgram
Radio programs and a sense i.f
humor are still part of the GI fare
even for the Fifth Army in Italy.
Reported in a recent issue of Time
Magazine, was a rather unique
complaint about transcriptions of
popular U. S. programs which are
rebroadcast over the Fifth Army's
own GI radio network with the
commercial plugs neatly cut out.
The soldiers complained that they
were homesick for commercials.
A military version of this time
honored custom of loudly praising
the value of everything from "A
Breakfast of Champions" to the
latest seductive shade of lipstick
was promptly supplied by an
nouncers in their most persuasive
tones.
"Are You A Sergeant?"
A sample: "Are you a sergeant,
hmmm? Do you have trouble be
ing recognized at night? Do your
men ignore you in the dark, huh.
Sarge? See Joe Quartermaster and
get your neon sergeant stripes.
There s a push-button attachment.
The slightest pressure and presto.
your stripes light up like a Christ
mas tree."
Officers gave these plugs a dif
ferent slant and put them to work
kidding soldiers' deficiencies sucn
as sleep. Thir brainchild: "Do you
wake up in the morning with bags
under your eyes, tired, lustless; do
you do K P. with no fervor or dig
a lackadaisical latrine? Then try
our product spelled S-L-E-K-P."
