BETWEEN  US  GIRLS
      By Taxie Kusunoki
    (ed note--The following
column is written by Taxie
Kusunoki, former PIONEER
feature writer and column-
ist who dropped in for a
visit  last week.)
   everybody wants to know
'howzitoutside?' and ma-
king  just  scads   of money?
   so, in answer to these
and other good questions,
are herewith present 'how
to take a bar inventory in
an hour if you're lucky and
fifteen minutes if you
cheat.'
   the first step is to
take (a) one hard-lead pen-
cil, (b) a pre-prepared
list of the bar stock, (c)
a determination to get it
all over with as quickly
and as efficiently as pos-
sible, (d) two sheets of
pencil-carbon,and (e)your-
self into the cocktail
lounge.
   (of these, the most im-
portant is item ‘d.’ one
of life's more frustrating
moments comes when you try
to read a carbon copy of a
bar inventory,only to dis-
cover that someone neglect-
ed to  insert the  carbons!)
   you  are  now ready to be-
gin.   you saunter, with a
purposeful glint in your
good eye,into the cocktail
lounge, and instinctively
duck as a zombie glass comes
flying at you. (bartenders
have a universal aversion
to  inventories.)
   clearing the atmosphere
wi th your ten o'clock smile,
you lift your pencil in
readiness. this is the
bartender's cue to begin
his chant--calling out the
exact number of bottles and
odd ounces of every brand
on hand.
   to lessen the monotony
of these twice-weekly ses-
sions, at the bar, you may
on occasion take your life
into your hands by contra-
dicting the bartender's
judgment on the number of
ounces that a half-empty
bottle may contain.   of
course, after carefully
measuring the liquid, he
always proves himself cor-
rect ,but there is no doubt
but what you have  slightly
shaken his confidence, and
his voice takes on a new,
undertain quality. (such
little things add interest
to one's   daily  grind.)
   when his voice comes to
an abrupt end, it is quite
safe to assume that the in-
ventory has reached its
conclusion. you then gather
together (a) one slightly-
used hard-lead pencil, (b)
a badly marked up list of
the bar stock, (c) a sense
of relief over a task fi-
nally completed,(d) oh-oh,
you forgot the carbons
again-!
    and  so   it   goes.
    so our advice to you is
to relocate, by all means!
NISEI  ARMY  SPECIALISTS  AID
ATTACK  ON MARSHALL ISLANDS
   “Japanese-American  soldiers  from the United States
and Hawaii participated in the invasion of the Marshall
Islands and the  successful capture of Kwajalein, Maj.
Gen. Charles H. Corlett,
whose Seventh Army Di-
vision took part in the
invasion, declared in an
Associated Press inter-
view dated Feb. 17 from
the United States Army
Headquarters in the central
Pacific .
   "Gen. Corlett, whose
troops are veterans of Attu,
praised the work of Japa-
nese-Americaan specialists
with the invading American
forces. He said in his
interview that these Japa-
nese Americans were used
as interpreters and trans-
lators.
   "This dispatch,publish-
ed widely in US newspapers,
was the first official Amy
report of the role of Japa-
nese Americans in the Pa-
cific fighting."
