This notice invites readers to submit cartoons and stories to The Post Exchange for YANK The Army Weekly. It highlights the open submission policy and provides the mailing channel for contributions to the U S Army publication.
A playful note warns that if a contribution misses the mark a special deluxe rejection slip from YANK will inspire a more creative mood.
A satirical wartime piece mocks soldiers in Hawaii learning a risqué and tongue in cheek “easy hula method” with vivid, humorous steps. It parodies Polynesian dance, spoofing terms like ami and ruki and ends by declaring the dancer a “Woo-Woo” master of the body.
A wartime diary fragment follows Pvt. Johnny Greer as he slips from a camp tent into a cold Texas night, aiming to reach the mess and hoping for a breakthrough in pay and rank. The page mixes letters from other GIs and humorous verse about Army life, meals, and K P duties.
