Route, whatever that is.

Raiding USB drives again :)

This is a transcription of a two page form. ____Underlines are blank spaces in forms, and I've filled in what was on this form. (Don't know much about military, but 63rd regiment were brought down to provide an extra presence during the Black War.)

A note on a couple of Australian bush/folk songs, in which I type too much :)

Also found on a USB stick, a copy of a page from the Library of Congress American Memory site, part of "Voices from the Dust Bowl: The Charles L. Todd and Robert Sonkin Migrant Worker Collection, 1940-1941"

Yes, I did say Australian folk songs. This is the page, also lyrics and a recording. "Bold Jack Donohue" is a song of a convict turned bushranger in NSW in the 1830s. (ADB entry for John Donohoe.) What I find interesting about the song, other than that I don't have recording I like, is how it changed over time, and it's relationship to the better known "Wild Colonial Boy".

“Fine, Miss Sanders, I’ll write you down as an Ms; you’re my eighth this week.”

You don’t have to tell an A.M.P. man there’s a new kind of woman. He meets them all.

Independent women—even though a lot of them are married. Women starting businesses, programming computers, creating research, getting deep into the business of making a success of life.

Now it might surprise you to know the first female A.M.P. rep was out there understanding women back in the early 40’s. And you mustn’t be surprised if the A.M.P. “man” who calls you is a lady. She knows her stuff.

A.M.P. isn’t just in the men business; we’re in the people business; and our people understand need and ambition. They have ideas that can help you. All you have to do is ask.

No matter what titles you want to use to describe your sex or attitude, A.M.P. insurance works. OK Ms. Sanders?
