RAOC THRU
Hiring a good tiiUe in England la
getting cisollBe from a United
^es ration board, according to Glen
a Barksdale, a corporal in the army
‘d formerly assistant sports editor
to F. H. Heath of this ci^ when the
latter occupied the sport desk on a
Wisconsin, daily.
In a letter to the Skipper, Barksdale
eaya “It 1» not that John Bull does
art want to be a gd^ lk>et to the
millions of Tanks who are passing
through the adranced bases in Hng*
land. It is Just because the kind of
places the young adults spend most
of their leisure time in the United*
BUtes simply do not exist In England.
“The typical G.I. wants something
drink first and foremost and second
on bis list Is a girl who iNtenx weli^
can dance and who is a good sport,"
said Barksdale.
“Drinks in England can be had al.
though the supply is always short and
the quality is terrible. English beer
is awfully weak and when serred
without being chilled is like so much
dishwater. The daily ration in nkost
pubs Is exhausted early in an eren-
ing A pint mug coats the equivalent
of 20 cents and a drink of Scotch sells
for 35 cents. A little rum or gin may
be had but if you get to a pub a little
late you must buy bitters, atoot or
cider, all of which taste like dish,
water,
"Little luxuries >which are consid
ered necessities in America are strict
ly rationed here. A weekly ration,
eren to overseas men Includes a pack
of cigarettes, a bar of candy, a pack
age of gum, a small bar of soap, a'^^
rator blade, two packages of cookies,'.
two bottles of soft drink and seven ^
bottles of beer. jK
"Night clubs are scarce, in fact, I
you can find them only in*the large
metropolitan areas. Drug stores andi .
fountains as we see them at home ^
sifB^y do not exist. expepUng In LoiwiA-
don and a few other large cities where' if
American chains have established ^
Bfores that cause the natives to gase'^
pop-eyed. Tea rooms and cafes close
shortly after 6 o’clock. Bowling idleys. N

and dance halls are very rare and,
one connot enjoy parlor-dating be
cause bombed out relatives usually
occupy the sofas. About all that a
Yank soldier can do is to take in
an occasional movie and then a stroll
home.
P “We reallxe that as bad as things
are over here, they are heaven ^^com-
pared to many other advance rases.
We are among people who speak our
own language and whose customs are
much in common with ours. The peo.
pie of England are just about the fin
est you can find anywhere in the
World They have taken it on the
chin with a courage that Is breatlu
tsklng. They cannot do awongb tOf
oar boys over here. They share their
tikt allowances of food with us—but
..^Alirays take along our rations and

"While we appreciate the many
courtesies and kihdneasea that are ex
tended ui over here, we are all anxi
ous to get home. I hope to go back
into my old Job of arrlting sporta.
You’ll like that I know."
