Musical Show
Into Production
Co. C will return from furlough
today and will put its forthcoming
musical comedy, 'Bidin' Our Time,'
Into actual production tomorrow.
There will be preliminary rehear-
sals for the cast of 29 this week with
several readings of the book also
scheduled. A few female roles are
still to be cast and the chorus has to
be completed. Both of these things
are expected to be done within the
next few days.
"Bidin' Our' Time," a musical play
in a prologue and two acts, is an
original show which the men of Co. C
have been writing and scoring in
their few free hours during the last
three months.
Eight songs have been especially
written for the production. Three of
these were introduced at Co. C's pre-
Christmas dance. Ranging from. boo-
gie-woogie to light opera, the music
has been composed by Cpl. Troy Bart-
lett to the lyrics written by Cpl. Hen-
ry Wolotsky.
The production will be presented
here the last week of February.

air through a tube running the length of the fuselage.

Discharge Pins Given
DETROIT, Jan. 8.--P)-Col. S. D.
Ringsdorf, District Commander of the
Sixth Service Command, said today
that 5,000 lapel buttons denoting
honorable discharge from the Army
in World War II have been issued to
Michigan men and women.
"At Casablanca I had the biggest
thrill of my life. We handled com-
munications for all aircraft and pre-
liminary plans involved in the now
historic Casablanca Conference, im-
mortalized by the ultimatum of 'un-
conditional surrender'," Capt. W.
Palmer Van Arsdale of the 14th Of-
ficer Class of the JAG school said.
"I saw the President, Mr. Churchill,
Generals DeGaulle and Giraud, and
all the other distinguished persons
there," he said.
Sent to Africa
In October, 1942, under secret or-
ders, Capt. Van Arsdale and a group
of officers and enlisted men took off
by plane for the first lap of their
overseas,tour. Although not aware of
the fact at the time, they were
being sent to North Africa for the
purpose of controlling aircraft corn-
munications under the Army Airways
Communications System in the big
campaign about to start.
Then came the trip to Africa. The
first landing was on the British Gold
Coast, and down the West Coast to
Belgian Congo and French Equator-
ial Africa. Communications stations
were set up along the route. Then
Captain Van Arsdale returned to Ac-
cra in November, 1942 and was or-
dered to Oran-a non-stop flying trip
of almost four thousand miles. Ehi
route, the pilot received instructions
that fighting was going on at Oran
and the landing was made at Casa-
blanca.
His next assignment was to Cairo.
It was impossible to fly direct and
the route was circuitous, f starting
down the West Coast of Africa to
Marrakesh in Morocco.
"We stopped at the same hotel
where President Roosevelt stayed
when he conferred with the Sultan.
It is a beautiful city and the oranges
of French Morocco, well, even the
most ardent sons of California and
Florida would have to keep quiet,"
Capt. Van Arsdale said.
Reaches Cairo
From there the flight continued
and finally they reached Cairo. Capt.
Van Arsdale stated that only by see-
ing this area could one appreciate the
amazing march made by General Le
Clerq at the head of the Fighting
French Army.
"We slept in tents built over fox
holes or slit trenches through nightly
bombing raids. I saw friends wound-
ed and killed. It wasn't nice. I got
somewhat accustomed to bombings,
having been through sontewhat the
same thing all over the fighting flont
in Africa. The raids were bad, and
besides keeping our minds occupied
built our hate for the enemy," he
said.
Sometimes along with, sometimes
following up the drive across Africa
right into Tunis, Capt. Van Arsdale
and his men went, keeping communi-
cations open. Returning to Cairo at
the conclusion of the campaign, Capt.
Van Arsdale became headquarters ad-
jutant, remaining there most of the
time until he returned here to attend
school. While overseas he received
two promotions.
As regards the war, Capt. Van Ars-
dale had no comment. He remarked,
however, that the Germans did have
fine equipment, much of it now being
salvaged from the African wastes.
