65TH COES NORTH AND SEES THE WORLD;
JANUARY FILLED WITH TRAVELS
PULSE BEAT'S WAR CORRESPONDENT
LATRINOCRAPHS REPORT
It was neither a white Christmas nor a
dry one (meaning the weather, of course),
as 65th medicos saw 1942 approach its end
and finally give way to the New Year.
Quickly the days and weeks have sped by
since, -with . events leaving their mark in
blistered feet, wind-chapped faces, tough¬
ened muscles, lectured minds, but: more ex¬
perienced, confident soldiers.
Since dhristnas
Й
(when the last 65TH .
PULSE BEaT was put to bed) the days have
been full and the nights empty- -until the
lYAACs arrived.
Christmas Eve saw a party at the Spring
Lake U80 Club, with nurses of the . High-
smith Hospital, Fayetteville, as genial
guests of the 65th Fellowship League, ••id-
night saw soldiers on their way to and
from religious services, and 0400 o'clock
in the morning the special holiday. issue
of the PULSE’ was being distributed around .
the barracks in approved Santa Claus man¬
ner
Christmas was the first holiuay for the
65th men since the war began, and an' elab¬
orate turkey dinner was1 the only thing -to
help dispel the wave of unashamed homesick¬
ness.
Dec. SO was the night of another party,
as the xloly Name Society celebrated the
holiday season.
Then came New Year's, a day of work but
with off. duty hours another matter.
After an "excursion" tc Southern Pines,
the medics went on numerous soenie "tours"
about the Post. These were concluded by a
two-day "picnic" on the range in weather

The Pulse Beats Again
hi th this its first issue of 1943, the
65TH PULSE BEAT is back again.
During the one-month suspension of pub¬
lication because of conflicting military
duties, latrinograph reports had it that
the' PULSE had done a LITERARY DIGEST death
act after its prediction that the new PX
and Bus Station for the Slain Post would
"probably be opened before Christmas".
(To spike this rumor, let it bo said
that the prediction--see Dec. 11 issue--
reflected the opinions of officials con¬
cerned and besides, left two loopholes; it
used the word "probably" and it didn't say
what Christmas. — Ed.)
At any rate, the failure of the PX to
open as yc-t has not proved so stunning a
blow to the PULSE as did the .notorious
presidential election forecast to the late
LITERARY DIGEST. There/ s life still in the
PULSE,
This issue finds the familiar plan and
policy of the PULSE continued, with the
following innovations:
Practically a newcomer to its pagos is
Lt, Ivan 17. Brown whose column on war and
national news will henceforth appear under
the title of "The Fighting- and Home
