Sad Sergeant

Somewhere in Africa a wandering N.Y. Times correspondent discovered a singularly unhappy soldier, Sergeant N. V Jerkovich, mail orderly to an air squadron. When there is no mail they threaten to shoot him; when mail comes, they threaten him because there isn't enough. On the rare occasions when there is enough, no one bothers to say anything. Finally he got some mail himself. His family was moving from Lorain, Ohio (where his girl lives), to California, so he would have plenty of fresh air and open spaces when he got home. Sergeant Jerkovich is now living in a desert where the only thing to interrupt the fresh air and open spaces for 50 miles around is a herd of sheep.
